A/N: Here's another new chapter for you all.

Well, we're coming to a close soon on the Earth chapters, only one more which is the departure from Earth. Then comes two more chapters before the hiatus. I'll explain about the hiatus in a moment.

As I am aware of now, the other remaining Season 6 episodes have been aired in the UK, but I managed to catch up on "Top Bolt" and I am planning to watch "To Where and Back" sometime this week or Saturday. I was surprised myself even after the incident of them releasing "The Fault in Our Cutie Marks" early in Poland from schedule. Almost reminds me of what happened in the Season 5 times with "Scare Master". If you're wondering, I've enjoyed the new episodes and I thought 'Where the Apple Lies' was a decent episode.

In other news: SEASON 7 CONFIRMED. I certainly did expect something like that, and with the movie coming out on October 6, 2017 it should be a good year for pony. Will Season 7 be canon in Learning To Live? At this point it's only a small possibility, but if I am planning to make the movie canon into the story, it'll probably be a separate fanfiction that takes place at a different time.

Now, the hiatus I am planning: Well, for plans after the Earth chapter is the Fluttershy chapter that I hope to release in November, and the wedding chapter afterwards in December. For the wedding chapter in December, I am hoping to aim it around Christmas time or before the New Year. Then I will take a break from the story for a bit to focus on other personal things in my life.

So much political unrest in the US... no kidding, I am thankful to be Canadian living in Canada. I grow tired of hearing about the election over there, I honestly wish it could end. Sigh. You'll probably see me comment about the election in the next chapter as Election Day is growing near for the American people.

Review Responses:

jvs12: Thank you.

WarHusky2000: Thank you very much. I really enjoyed Sabaton's new album, and being that I saw them open for Nightwish in Toronto back in 2015, I hope that I can see them perform again with hopes of meeting them before or after the show as me and my friend became fans from seeing them in concert.

4theworldman: Enjoy the new chapter. :)

Guest (1): No show lasts forever, as it usually is affected by how well the sales for the toys do, marketing in other words. As long as bronies or customers continue to make purchases on the fourth Generation's toys, the show will continue. If there is a decline, it could be the end of the show. So far, I'm still predicting that Season 7 will be the final season for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic; and it depends on how well the show does as well. As for what happened between Twilight and Brayden, read on and find out. :)

Guest (2): I am aiming to have the final Earth part uploaded close to the end of October before Halloween. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. :)

Guest (3): You'll find out in a future chapter.

chipmunkfanantic: I really enjoyed Legend of Everfree, and they had a fantastic villain that was quite troubled. Sunset really laid it smackdown to Flash Sentry that he couldn't be in love with Twilight from Equestria as she was a princess there, but other than that, I thought Sci-Twi and Timber was the most cutest moments in the movie. Very good installment in the Equestria Girls series, and loved the re-appearance of Midnight Sparkle.

Liz the lizard: Sadly I wouldn't count on it. :( They aren't going to be seen for this chapter and the next one.

Jack905: Read on and find out what happens next. :)

Guest (4): Thank you.

P.S. Due to some graphic content written in this chapter, I have decided that the rating will be changed to an M rating. Plus for good reason too, as it should be expected in future chapters ahead.

Twilight's POV

"All of you wake up!"

I can feel a cold flow of liquid splash on top of me, getting my mane and tail all wet and stirring me awake from a slumber that I was put into by a human that has captured me out by the forest near the old high school Brayden used to attend. Some of the water that was thrown at me drenched part of my face, and I still haven't opened my eyes to see where I was, or whoever they were talking about yet.

I can hear the recognizable coughing coming from both beside and behind me, and I begin to open my eyes with a tired groan. My eyes are opening up, and I find myself encased in a room with a small open window that I think neither I nor anypony else there can get through.

"Wha... where are we? This isn't part of Brayden's cottage..." My ears were able to pick up the voice of Pinkie Pie. I turn my head, seeing her lying right there with an almost tired look in her eyes as if we have been out for quite a while now.

I get up slowly onto all of my four hooves, and trot towards the open window to investigate and find out exactly where we might be. Weather outside seems to be very cloudy, and I can catch raindrops tapping softly onto what looks to be pretty strong glass window that is deemed unbreakable.

Can't really see anything else from here, so I flap the both of my wings to lift me up off of the ground so I can see what else is out there... Great, just what I have expected. The wall of a building looks to be blocking the view of everything else. I lower back down to land, closing my wings after I have done so and turn to see the rest of my friends.

All of them are there, and besides Pinkie who was already possibly awake after me. I don't even know how they got here, but I have a feeling that it was something to do with that dart that the man from earlier fired and stuck at me with. Really painful, but I have a feeling that it numbed me and put me to sleep.

Starlight Glimmer was getting up off of the waxed wood floor, trying her best to not fall down. Her left front hoof goes onto her forehead and she groans. "Talk about how much that dart they flung at me hurt... I feel terrible."

"Pretty sure we're all waking up from that now," I said, shaking a bit of the water off from my coat, and out both my mane and tail. "It's strange... it's like they put some sort of medicine into us."

"I'm pretty sure that was." Rainbow Dash commented, shaking a little bit as she is standing up off from the ground where she was resting.

My eyes turn to look around the rest of the room that was surrounded in the dark. I can hear a bit of whining, but I'm pretty sure that was Rarity herself being that her nice mane just got ruined by the splashing of water. Not sure who threw water on us to wake us, but I'm really sure that I wanted to know exactly who it was who did it.

I can hear a shuffle that almost sounds like something is scraping across the concrete ground my hooves stand on. My head turns to the sound of it, and I can only see a figure sitting there in the dark. Can't intepret what this figure looks like, but I am very sure that it was a human itself and the one who tossed all that on us.

"Who's there?" I called out into the dark, determined to know who this was.

"Oh I think you do... you just don't want to know."

The same voice I heard from before could be heard as my ears flop downward and I place a glare upon my face. The figure in the shadows sits up out of the seat, standing up and walking forward into the light to reveal his face... Khaln, the same man that attempted to have Brayden killed and the one who foalnapped me.

His appearance was still as ruthless as I thought he would look with the scruffy beard on his chin, in the color of a fading orange. His cut hair and eyebrows are also in the same color while his blue toned eyes stare down at me. I can't really tell if that's black leather that Khaln is wearing, along with his hard boots. He is tall in appearance though, practically taller than Brayden by estimation.

"What do you want with us? Why are we here?!" Rainbow Dash shouts to get an answer out of him, even trying to charge in flight at him, but is held back by Applejack gripping her teeth onto her rainbow colored tail.

"Easy there Rainbow Dash!" My friend with the same accent this man had eases at her. "Let Twilight do the talkin'. Ya don't wanna spark anythin'."

Khaln still glares down at us, but kneels down on one leg so he can almost be at the same height as me, just being a little taller. "You're here because Brayden is of my importance now that I know he is alive. All of you are a huge part of my plan, and you're the bait to getting what I want."

"Bait?" I asked.

"Why yes little pony," He chuckles. "He owed me a debt for scratching one of my motorcycles, and I thought I had killed him. Cheated death though, and now I finally can have a score to settle with him to end him once and for all."

"End him?!" I respond to him in shock, seeing how he wants to kill my soon-to-be husband which I now regret running away from inside. "No... you can't!"

Khaln turns to the window, taking a few steps forward as he continues speaking to me. "Who says that I can't? I know all about the television incidents, thinking it was all a joke... but the truth came forward to me. He is going to bring himself here, and I will deliver to him a personal execution that I feel should have been. Once that's over, you and your other pony friends will be sent off to science; where you will be studied and your origins to be found."

"Pony friends? Better watch what ya say, partner," Applejack warns him, sounding a little harsh in the tone of her voice. "My close friend is a dear friend to all of us. He'll be coming for us."

"Let him come then. I will be happy to show him what true anger really is, and what happens when he messes with my clan or any single thing that I own. I practically have the whole town in fear." I can hear him say.

I just had to growl, especially when he was threatening to kill Brayden. "He'll stop you before he even has a chance to let you kill him!"

He chuckles and turns around to look at me, putting his left hand on his chest. "I'd like to see him try to do that."

That just triggered my anger towards him already, and I already wanted to fight Khaln in the way and hopes of all of us being able to get out of wherever we are. "You wouldn't dare hurt him!"

"What makes you think that he'll slip past me and try to destroy what I am trying to accomplish? I have this entire base both inside and outside armed to the teeth, all thanks to my hired in-arms men."

My horn begins to channel with magic, getting ready to fire a beam straight at him. He is quick to turn though, ready to see me attack him. He jumps forward, gripping me by the horn as it was channelling loads of magic with his left hand. By the way it seems to be when holding me still in the lock, I can see his hand getting scorched by my magic but he doesn't flinch to my own surprise.

"My hands have been burnt many times, they don't feel the flames your magic tries to influence." He says to me as I grow only a bit tired from my attempt to attack him with magic as his hand was blocking my horn.

The magic from my horn settles down and I stop channelling as by how his hand gripped it close made me more tired. He finally pushes me back and his right hand being curled into a fist, punches me right on my left cheek. My head sways to the right for a moment, only catching both Fluttershy and Starlight's reactions that they were horrified to see me get hurt. My head turns back to Khaln and he pushes me backwards.

I fall backwards once he has pushed me, and I lift my head up off of the ground to see him standing there with that smirk on his face. Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity gather at my side to make sure if I am okay after being hit like that. Brayden isn't there to see, but if he saw that I was hurt; I know his rage would rise on the inside and do all that he can protect me from further harm or certain death... but I hope he gets here soon.

"Alright, that's far enough!" Applejack barks angrily at Khaln who attempted to take a step towards me. She, Rainbow Dash, Starlight and Moondancer had blocked his way from getting to me. "Ya ain't gonna hurt our friend Twilight any further!"

"I thought Earth was supposed to be more friendly about others and that they were an innocent race like Brayden is!" Starlight Glimmer says, ready to attack with her magic if absolutely necessary.

All Khaln can do is chuckle for a moment from Starlight's words. "Oh, Earth being more friendly? You all are blind aren't you? Sorry to say, but the original picture of Earth to all of you isn't accurately correct."

"B-Blind?!" Rainbow sputters, getting up on both of her back hooves as if motioning to fight him. "Come on then! I'll teach you what blind really is!"

Khaln paused for a few seconds on Rainbow's offensive threats, and begins to laugh at her. "You're a riot. Keep living your dream away," His right hand reaches into his back pocket, pressing a remote controlled button to lower a television down from the ceiling for us to see. "For this... you will now see the struggles of what Earth goes through every day from history's cause. Fascism... Countries at war and citizens turning on each other."

The television has switched on, and the next things that me and all my friends see were the most horrifying things that I could ever lay my eyes upon. On the video, my eyes could see the soldiers of many from countries abroad facing off against others and firing their weapons at once another. Blood would splatter onto the faces of men, especially when I look away for a moment at the sight of someone about to be stabbed by someone from behind with a knife before turning around to fire from behind.

Many other glimpses of war-related issues were caught from the past, and I could finally see what Brayden meant by fascism. A man standing to make a speech in another language, sending millions of innocent people in the country off somewhere, never to be seen again. More glimpse from that are gunfire, and loud sounds ringing with men screaming in harm and most ending up dead. But other horrors came to the screen like the bombings of citizens in any other country here, and propaganda videos...

I... I can't bear myself to look further, though I can still hear the sounds of the wars, gunfire, explosions and screaming in the panic of others.

"You're going to learn from this, to see what horrors mankind really is. Once Brayden is taken care of, I'll be back with the scientists to take you all away. Should he not arrive, at least you learned about humanity's mistake before your own death." Khaln tells us, shifting to the side of the room and opening the door and closing it shut and leaving us into this isolated room.

"This... this is really Earth and their people?!" Fluttershy asked in horror, unable to take her eyes off of the screen while she sees footage of people getting told by others to go back to their own country. Some even go as far as to assault the foreign visitors. "I now know why Brayden seemed to delay a lot in wanting to visit Earth..."

Brayden... I know that you're probably still upset from earlier today, but I hope you can come soon to help us. Save us from this maniac before he gets us killed or sent to the labs you told us about... please...

Brayden's POV

The rain was pouring down on both myself and Alex as I have the Song of Order on my back, staring down from the hill at the factory below where my fiance and my best friends were being held hostage by Khaln. My mood in a furious rage, and already I am wanting to strangle the man who took all things that I loved away... and I will be getting them back one way or another.

Alex is right beside me, and he has the arsenal ready for a surprise attack, as he has the one thing that humanity is mostly known for using in the present time. Guns. He's had friends who would hand him the weapons, but he would never really put them to use as the country tends to have laws in relation to gun violence and the use of them. I wasn't surprised that he would bring a mini-gun to use for attacking the guards and hired men.

They were surrounding the place, and they even had a stump that they would going to supposedly use for executing me. Guards were also at the front gate, as if they were waiting for me to arrive on time as I know that Khaln would normally expect me to even during the debt that I owed him for his motorcycle I scratched.

"Well, there's their plan of capturing you," Alex commented to me, cocking an Uzi 9 millimeter with ammo to finish them for the fight. "What's your plan now? Should we go in loud together or should you lead the attack and then I come in after you make the first strike?"

"I shall make the first strike. I'll fly in undetected over the weak point from the sky above to the roof, then hop down onto the iron platform, taking out the gunman on the right. Afterwards, you'll burst through the front gate in the back of the van and put to use of the mini-gun that I recommend putting there."

"Hmmmm, well I hope your plan works out. Need any weapons for back-up? Because that blade of yours won't be enough." He says to me, offering me a submachine weapon, all locked and loaded.

I turn to him, nodding my head while the raindrops are pouring onto the top of my head and down my long hair. My left hand grips onto the weapon, attaching it to my left pocket as a side arm. The guards down below still look busy trying to find me while I am preparing to surprise them. Focus for them is the front of the area where they keep watch.

"Brayden... can I tell you something?" I can hear Alex along with the sounds of the back of a van opening up.

"Do tell me. If there's any final words before the mission, you may proceed to tell me. If you plan to back out as of right now, I will take the honor to do this all by myself."

"No, I'm not backing out," Alex says to me, my head turning and watching as he puts a grip on the mini-gun in the back of the van. "I'm helping you out with this. I'm just trying to say that we might not survive this, but if you make it out alive with the girls... make sure that Rainbow Dash makes it back to Equestria in one piece."

I chuckle for a moment. "So you still have a thing for her, don't you?" I respond to him with a smirk on my face.

"Of course." He says to me, knowing that I'm just being teaseful. "Gun's locked and loaded in the back, and I am ready to drive on your word."

He does make a point after all, because I will have to use a signal to get him into action. "I'd need a signal."

"One of these will do the trick." I can hear him say as he approaches me. I turn to look at him, seeing that he is holding something in his hands.

I didn't expect that it would be a grenade itself.

"Jesus Christ dude! What are you trying to do, blow me up with the rest of Khaln and his men?" I responded to him, taking the grenade in my hands.

"Well, I'm sure we all need to give them an 'explosive' entrance. Based on the lookpoint, there are a few connecting gasoline canisters. If you could give it a toss towards the factory entrance, it could blow down the platforms and allow me to drive backwards, crash into the barrier and begin opening fire at the men."

"You... you're a crazy son of a bitch Alex." I said, opening the both of my wings. "Drive down and wait until the platforms are blown. Then you may begin by all means. Me? I'll infiltrate the building myself and save the girls. Any men Khaln sends after me? I'll kill 'em. Khaln goes after me? I'll kill him too."

Alex makes no haste to ask any more questions further, and proceeds into the van and igniting the engine. I begin to flap the both of my wings and take flight into the air while another strike of lightning is distant along with a roar of thunder in the air. The grenade that Alex has given me I attach to my right pocket, ready for me to take out at any time I feel is right.

I dip forward in a diving motion towards the factory smokestacks, seeing that there was an armed guard with a pump shotgun standing there, waiting patiently and with heavy guard for his boss. My hands reach forward and grip onto the wall of the smokestack, letting my brown colored eyes monitor everything in the area and the distance I was from the gas canisters at the front entrance before them.

Already I have a plan on pulling the pin of the grenade and making a toss of it towards, but I keep wondering if it would reach that distance. My wings are gently flapping while my left hand is holding onto a loose brick in that circling wall. The feeling of serrated cast iron from my right hand as it is the grenade that I am ready to pull the pin soon and toss.

No time to decide... time to act.

My right hand grips onto the hand grenade, unattaching it and quickly studying the distance that it would be tossed. The left hand moves quickly enough to make everything so silent by the pin has been pulled with only my heartbeat being heard, being that I was holding onto a deadly explosive device made by man.

Then comes the large toss as everything is still silent, and I believe I was able to catch a glimpse of the guard on watch there, seeing the grenade flying from the distance towards the front. He makes a bit of a motion that seems like he would be a bit suspicious, but has a hard time seeing in all of the heavy rain pouring down. Even I can't see where the grenade has gone, but I push myself from the smokestack and descend down towards the guard as he could raise the alarm soon enough as the explosions kick off.

The Song of Order begins to sing as I am rushing down towards the armed guard, and there is another lightning strike in the distance and the boom of thunder overlapping the light that sparked from the left tower and the boom that seemed silent.

For that moment, everything was silent by the time my hands gripped onto the head of the guard. He tries to act upon it with violence, but my swift and silent force seems able to overcome him over the show that went on at the front of the gates. My right hand forms into a fist and slams into his right cheek, knocking him down onto the floor.

He reached for his shotgun, determined to kill me with that one shot from the shells. The Song of Order is gripped onto right away after having punched him down, and thrust at the weapon he held to sever the tube in half. He tries to get up, but I place my left hand forward and fire the magic beam that the blade's magic has given me, knocking him back down.

The guard hasn't moved, so I can assume that he is unconscious. I'm not thinking about laying the Song of Order into that one's gut as I know Khaln will have that for taking my friends away.

Gunfire could eventually be heard from the entrance as the guards begin piling outside and the van that Alex was driving ends up at the front, unloading out on them with the mini-gun and doing his best to defend both himself and I. The left pocket of mine still holds onto the submachine gun, so I begin taking it out and firing out the small rounds of ammunition.

"We're being flanked! Let Khaln know!" I can hear one of the men shouting quietly while more thunder is roaring in the raining skies. By the look of blood being shed upon there, I can tell that he exposed himself for too long from cover.

A fist slams right into my side, with someone taking a tight grip on my shirt and pinning me straight to the brick wall causing me as a result to drop my submachine gun. I can feel as it begins to bruise, while my brown eyes can see that it was one of those armed guards gripping me tough and slamming my back into the wall, taking out a pistol that was set for my head by the time I was forced around.

I still have a free right hand gripping onto the blade, so I slice with it onto his left side. He narrowly missed my head, but the bullet was shot close to my arm and near my chest. The feeling comes again of how it felt to be shot in the back of the shoulders, but I can't really give up now while the guard is wounded.

Gunfire from the van is starting to crawl up the wall behind the guard's position. I take the guard's pistol and place a shot into his chest before propping my foot up and kicking him with a push towards that position to see multiple gunshots take the man.

The open door into the factory on the other side of the wall was there, and I begin making a sprint towards the entrance, hearing only the sounds of the minigun bursting out rounds at the guards that were trying to get a good shot at Alex.

The gunfire stays in one place for a time, as when I checked... Alex seems to have been shot in the shoulder, but is resisting the pain in any way that he can until the fight is over and business between me and Khaln is taken care of. Still holding the guard's pistol, I distract a bit of the guards, firing the trigger at a few.

I missed a couple of them, but only two bullets were able to strike at the guards that shot at Alex. The first was hit quite fatally on the top of the head whereas resulted in him collapsing onto the floor dead, the other striked close to the back but not accurately in the back. The other guard still took a stand to turn and fire the two rounds of shotgun shells in his weapon. I was lucky that those weapons can be short ranged as I moved to the side to avoid the blast.

A guard was coming my way with a shout as he held a knife to try and gut me like a fish. Not really happening today.

My reflex was quick as I toss the pistol to hit onto his forehead, moving forward after he is knocked to the ground and placing the Song of Order into his back, hearing him scream for a moment before removing it out from there to continue in use. The claymore looks a bit bloody by now and I know that I was saving it for Khaln at that point, but... hm, guess that guard will be test practice for that moment.

Rain stopping battering onto my head when I turned to the left and entered the building. Rows of shotguns locked and loaded for the hired men of Khaln were there, and I couldn't stop but help myself to one of them. A sawed-off shotgun sat there on a desk that caught my eye, so I think when I bust down the door there it'll give him the element of surprise along with his loyal bikers in the next room.

My left hand grips onto the shotgun and make a run towards the steel door, kicking it down with all of the power that the Song of Order was exchanging with me.

The biker that I remember from the last time dealing with them was surprised to see me alive and well, long before I blast the double blast of the shotgun into his open mouth. He was about to send out the warning that I have also arrived for Khaln to come out, but I'll deal with him myself. Crimson splatters onto the rails and metal floor below his boot-covered feet and he collapsed down with loud rattle accompanied by the metal support when I have thrown the sawed-off weapon at him.

"Shit!" I recall hearing another guard's voice shouting in the hallway. "He's here! Open fire!"

My grip on the Song of Order tightens, as the four other recognizable bikers from the night they were supposed to kill me armed tightly with themselves with stolen weapons that they supposedly have smuggled. The grip on the blade has created a magical and temporary shield around that won't last too long, so I can't offensively attack with the blade, but can still use my powers.

My ears are ringing a bit as they unleash loads of bullets onto the shield and are trying to take cover at the same time. However, I continue forward regardless while they continue their attempts to hurt me or at least kill me. My left hand moves forward, sending a shockwave towards the bikers on the left, throwing them on the floor. Bikers on the right continue regardless of what happened, but I knew they'll be taken care of first.

I brought my left hand forward towards them, taking a hold of one of the bikers and lifting him off the ground towards me. It's only a moment as I toss him with that magical force to his other ally that knocked them onto the floor.

The shield is brought down, leaving me open to more gunfire but I brought myself forward to the two I've tossed into. I take the biker's advanced rifle, loading into them with bullets.

"Asshole!" I can hear one of the bikers shout before his rifle has unleashed a few bullets into my left side. I grunt for a moment in pain as this was close to my heart. No... I have to keep strong about this.

I turn with a growl upon my glare and sprinting forward towards the two remaining bikers, dropping the rifle from before when I killed the other two bikers. The aide of my wings allows me to flip into the air over their heads and landing behind them. Faces of surprise were the only last things they could do before I twist around with the Song of Order sticking out and decapitating the biker's head on the left.

His head began to roll down the hallway where I have come from, and the last biker has an angered look on his face like that guy who's head I took off was his friend. He takes out a knife and tosses it at me.

It cuts across the side of my face, so I barely had a bit of time to move away. As a response, he is met with the sword cutting him with such might on the arm, taking it off with a bit of a shout coming from him. Attention would be attracted, so I make the movement of slicing the biker's throat while at it, avenging myself as he was one of those along with the others here who shot at me.

I turn around to those heavy steel double doors, knowing that Khaln is waiting for me in there to face off against just me and nobody else.

My foot on approach kicks open the doors, seeing what would await me in this factory setting room.

The room itself was filled with industrial parts and tools that were probably for steel purposes, but had been abandoned later because of possible unions going on in the town and this part of it. The windows are big, and light up a bit with the lightning outside, only a little rumble with the sound of thunder being heard and felt as that strike was near. The furnaces are not on, so I can be relieved that I'd not be open for falling into a vat of molten steel.

The muffled scream is what caught me on guard though as my eyes catch the man that took everything special from me, holding onto my fury as I grip the Song of Order to keep the power flowing.

Khaln stood there on the top of the stone steps that shown the workers around the place, armed with only a pistol and that bat "Brown Bear" that he used to attack me before. Me and him aren't alone though, as he is holding my Twilight in his grip, and the pistol aimed right at the side of her head.

"You..." I manage to let out first before continuing with such anger in my voice towards him. "YOU LET HER GO NOW!"

He could only chuckle at the sight of my anger. "I can see now why you would consider this one your prized possession."

"Where are my other friends?!" I questioned to him, raising the Song of Order at him.

He drives the pistol closer to Twilight's head. "Nu-uh-uh..." He warns me. "Not yet, or she dies."

"Please help me!" Twilight sounds panicked and unable to do anything to protect herself as she was in danger's way.

"You want your friends? Here they are." He says, putting a hand towards the colored figures that were them, their necks chained up like they were imprisoned or set to be bound for somewhere.

They all seemed to be in one piece other than that. Starlight looks a little bit sad about what was happening, while Fluttershy looks frightened out of her mind... possibly worried about me that I was going to risk my life and get myself killed to save them. Even so, she also saw the wounds that I have taken from the knife, bruises and bullet wounds, so I can appreciate a bit of first aid from her as I know my closest best friend is an expert at that. Being that I've lived with her at the cottage for a while now, it really explains.

"Here's your prize then too," He says, pushing her forward down the steps when she lands face forward. "I'm saving the best moment for us. Best part is that the pistol wasn't loaded either, so go figure."

A sense of worry came upon me, and I came forward towards my fiance as she was slowly getting up onto her four hooves, but with the assistance that I would give her. Her violet eyes turn and look at me for a moment, possibly knowing that I'd be given the look that I committed betrayal to our engagement and for not telling her about my relationship with Ann here.

"I'm fine Brayden," Twilight says to me, looking a bit shocked to see me looking wounded and grew very worried about me. "Are... are you okay?!"

"That's what I'm wondering about you Twi," I told her, gently placing my hand onto her cheek. My eyes were able to catch the bruise on the side of her face and that's when I knew that something had happened during my preparation getting here. "Did he do this to you?"

She held a sad look on her face, expressing her emotion to me from the look in her eyes and her mouth frowning a bit. She can only nod to answer my question to her.

"Don't worry now, I'm here for you now. All of you." The tone of my voice grows gentle with her, my fingers gently stroking her mane to ensure that everything was going to be okay now that I was here to help.

"You don't look okay. Look at some of the blood... you're hurt." She still sounds worried about me, even by the time I have held her close to me.

My friends are watching even when Rainbow struggled a bit to get out of that chains. Twilight moved her head forward and I allow myself to gently place the head on top of hers, avoiding getting poked by her horn even if it's not sharp. My head motions a bit to place a gentle kiss onto her forehead.

"I'm... I'm really sorry about what happened earlier today." I wanted to apologize to her. If in the end she didn't want to marry me after all, I would understand.

"Brayden, you don't need to apologize. If any, I believe I am the one who should apologize to you for how that situation turned out," Twilight says to me, sounding a bit hurt about what happened between me and Ann earlier in the afternoon. "I ran away when I shouldn't have... and I really wanted to learn about what was going on between you and Ann."

Half of me doesn't want to tell her... but I don't want something bad like this to affect the deep relationship permanently. "She's my past girlfriend... before I came to Equestria, I was dating Ann because me and her had a lot of things together in common. But since the times with you and the other girls... you've been much more in my life to me. I still love her, but I... If you don't want this marriage or relationship I understand."

Twilight opens one wing, wrapping it around my back. "Brayden, I'm not mad or angry at you. I only wish that you can tell me more beforehoof about this. And don't talk like that please..." She moves her head from under my chin, gently nuzzling my right cheek that hadn't been cut. "I love you, and I always will. Even inside my heart, I didn't want to say anything bad because last time I did react that harshly, you ran away from home and became a tool for the Changeling queen."

My heart is touched by my fiance's words, and I feel as her cheek moves from nuzzling mine, her violet eyes closing and placing her lips onto mine. Since I knew that was what I expected, my eyes close as well and begin to share that embrace in the moment there.

"Tick-tock, time's up Brayden!" I can hear the sound of Khaln's voice as he stands on the platform above, waiting for me to fight him. I release my lips from the kiss that me and Twilight were sharing, opening my eyes to look up at him. The movement from my eyebrows turns into a bit of a glare.

I slowly got up to face him. "Twilight, join and try to free our friends." She nods her head and gallops to the side with the sound of her magic being channelled as I was not able to take the glare off the man who tried to have me killed before and would try again.

"Why the hell would you want to use my friends to lure me here to fight you?!" I demanded almost instantly while hearing the sound of footsteps entering the room from behind. Pretty sure it's Alex, but even so he would know that it is mine and Khaln's fight and not his to join.

"It was an offer that I was thinking for myself, as they already know about the bad side to humanity and the rest of the Earth's history. The scientists here will be quite happy to experiment on them, as their bloodlines could connect the location of where their world would be in the cosmos and beyond. Once they've learned, think about how in history's ways that humanity are easily provoked."

I knew what he was trying to get across. "Ponykind in Equestria is not ready yet to know about the histories and war-mongering counterpart to humans. You should not have shown them the footages of what war can do to a civilization!"

"Planting fear isn't easy after all, but their minds are so naive and would believe any proof they see once they are shown," Khaln admits to me. "Granted, some parts of the world like the United Kingdom, Japan and Canada have the most friendly people. Sadly, maybe the United Kingdom won't be as accepting since they left Europe back in June."

I wield the Song of Order, ready to fight at any time. "You will let my friends go, or I will release them myself."

"You'll have to kill me first before I would ever think about that." He remarked before making the first move with his baseball bat to move forward.

I was quick to duck my head as the force of the bat moving towards me would have hurt big time in the way of slamming on the side of the head. My move is next when Khaln tries to attack again, clashing with mine. A vicious smile is on his face, but I still am enraged.

I push him back, knocking him backwards. He doesn't fall over but ends up backing up a couple of steps before I charge to blunt him on the head with the handle of the claymore. His arm is able to grip onto my arm forcing toward him and catching me so his boot can kick me in the stomach, inflicting pain onto me.

The sounds of my friends and fiance gasping is heard, and I grunt a bit from the damage he had given to him as I did forget how strong he was, judging by how I sometimes caught him in the gymnasium close by the mall. His hand grabs me by the throat afterwards, tossing me to the floor.

I slowly am getting back up onto my feet. "Not so tough as I thought you'd be, little weak shit." He approaches while I am getting up, clashing at my blade with his bat and holding it in place as well as I do.

I release my blade from the lock for the moment and throw it forward to sever the bat right in half to his own surprise. Wait... shouldn't really say that as he tosses the other half of his baseball bat to the floor and reaching behind him to get something. Crap, a machete. Those things would hurt pretty bad like knives, and I remember what Twilight says about them. Yes, they are sharp.

"Destroy my precious bat, hm?" Khaln says, sounding a little furious. "Taste this then!" He swings at me with the machete in hopes that I will get decapitated like the biker out there in the hallway that I did when he was firing his weapon at me.

I jumped right to the side before the machete takes its time to strike at my head. The sound of metal clanging onto the railing is heard, and I get up while Khaln tries another attempt to swing at me. The singing that I am hearing from the Song of Order warns me of the oncoming attack, and I reflexed on it with the blade clashing with it while Khaln has a look on his face that has turned angry and blood-thirsty.

My foot moves forward to make a taste of sweet revenge for him kicking me in the stomach. To be honest, I should be thankful that wasn't the 'parts' where he hit because it would feel terrible. It hits him hard in the leg to get him to stumble backwards a bit which works out.

He hasn't dropped the machete though. I spread open my wings to fly backwards when he swings at me once again. "Always looking to threaten my friends, don't you?" I shout at him.

"Maybe because I want them to see you die by my hands!" He responds to me, thrusting forward with his iron blade to try and stab me.

The Song of Order's power gave me the chance to fire a burst of magic from my left hand toward Khaln, after quickly moving to the railings from the stabbing attempt. The light of blue aura blasts out at him, which sends him flying towards the end of the railings, still holding onto the machete in his left hand.

I make my move towards him, firing another burst of magic at him to send him flying to the railings. My eyes are quick to catch the pit of molten steel far down from the platform, but it does not matter to me as he was probably planning to toss my friends in there if I didn't arrive on time. The Song of Order is singing, but I am very well aware he was planning to make another move there.

The silver's side bashed against the iron once again, while Khaln is getting back up onto his feet to continue the battle with me. My left hand opens up to fire another blue beam of magic, but I wasn't too lucky this time when he dodges his head quickly to avoid the mystical attack.

Behind him, I can see Alex preparing to jump onto him to help me fight him. I don't want to give away his position though, as my brown eyes are still looking at the fierce eyes of Khaln and his desperate bloodthirst to finish me off. His left hand is doing all that he can to reach for his pistol that he used before, but even I am doing the best I can to also prevent him from shooting at me again.

Alex finally makes his move, sprinting behind Khaln and jumping onto him with a grip on him. I grunted though as when he was dropping the machete, part of it made a slice on my chest, but I don't believe that it was that deep or it would be quite serious. I don't even think I'd want to go to any of the Earth hospitals here as it would be the easiest way to have my friends caught in the public eye.

"Get off of me!" Khaln shouts at him, trying to shake him off and get back to the fight with me.

Alex has his arms around his neck in a lock, trying to strangle the everlasting shit out of the man who tried to kill me. "You nearly had my best friend killed!"

Khaln is trying not to choke out of breath, but falls backwards to slam Alex onto the ground while I grip onto the pommel of the Song of Order, waiting for him to get back up off of the ground. With a shout, I charge the claymore forward towards his chest, stabbing Khaln right there with the blade's top coming out through his back.

My friend was able to get up off of the ground, taking a few steps back to avoid anything else. He looks a little bruised up, but still looks like he has the fight in him. I kept the blade locked into Khaln's chest just so I could watch him bleed and try to struggle. He opens his mouth a bit as if trying to say something to me, but all that comes out is the liquid colors of crimson red and a bit of choking.

My eyes are glaring at him, furious that he would even try to take Twilight from me as I could read it by the guilty look on his face as he looks to be moments from dying. "That was for trying to kill me, and for taking Twilight and my friends. Rot in hell." I told him.

I move the claymore from his chest, and all he really just does is stand there, inactive and unable to make any sudden movements towards me, as if there was still a chance for him to make one last attempt to strike at me. My left hand is still there, gripping onto his pistol revolver but I knew from there that this was an attempt to kill me from the grave.

He finally tries to lift up his revolver, but I snatch it right from his hand and point it at his head with the desperate want and need to place one bullet into his face and have myself avenged from his attempted murder.

All he can do is choke on his own blood while his eyes are staring right at the end of the gun pointed at him. My eyes close one more, as I feel that it was only a few seconds that have passed before I pulled the trigger with the sound of the loud bang from his revolver sounded off in the near silence.

There was absolutely no life by the looks of Khaln's face left as his eyes still hold that shocked expression, even as Alex was surprised that my anger would be going this far as to have someone this terrible killed. I don't care though, as I really wanted to place the bullet in that asshole's thick skull since I had been 'killed' by him.

Khaln has fallen down onto his knees slowly and then falls flat onto the floor to show that bullet of his went through his skull, but part of me still is furious at the same time and at that point I have lost control of myself over this, but it was not in the way of the anger's darkness corrupted like last time. It was the man who put me through loads of trouble that was causing the root of it all to ignite the feelings of rage and anger, and I was letting it all out over his dead body.

I grip onto the Song of Order by the time I can hear the sound of hooves stepping and galloping on the platform, raising the claymore upwards into the air and lashing it forward at the dead body of Khaln as it strikes him in the back to carve in another large unnecessary wound, but at this point I have no control on my surroundings or my friends as I have that desire to make sure that Khaln doesn't get up from the ground at all.

"Brayden, you can stop. He's dead." Alex is trying to tell me, but his voice seems very far as all I can hear is the sound of the claymore striking at the flesh, and the sight of blood beginning to crawl from his body, as I was stabbing him where the heart was over and over because I knew that was the life support for that monster.

"Seriously... stop!" Alex is calling to me, unable to move at first while I releasing all of my anger with the Song of Order.

"Brayden, it's over! Stop please!" I can barely hear Fluttershy's voice screaming at me from behind.

I can see an aura of magic starting to cover up my body with a force that was pulling me away from my enemy's dead body. I recognize the color of the magical force as being Twilight's magic that was doing business. As I wasn't snapped out of it yet, she holds a scared and worried look on her face like she wanted to calm me down and I am sure that Fluttershy also wanted to do that as well as she did when I was crying.

"Brayden... stop! Please!" She places me on the ground.

Rainbow Dash literally has to pin me to the ground by the arms and legs as I was flipping out like shit, still believing that Khaln was still alive and would get up at any moment to attack again. "You really need to snap out of it! You've pretty much took his life!"

I was still struggling to get up while Twilight used her magic to take the Song of Order from my right hand and places the claymore on my back when I wasn't using it. Even I can sense that the blade's singing had gone right back to its normal humming when Khaln finally kicked the bucket. She moves closer to me, gently placing her hoof onto my cheek, giving it a gentle stroke which has snapped me out of it.

"It's all over now... we're all okay..." She spoke gently to me, stroking my left cheek while Fluttershy has her hoof on my right hand, trying to keep my heart rate calm as I was hyperventilating from the stress of rampage.

Rarity looks a little disgusted by all of the mess that I have made out of Khaln, but she knew that I had saved her life, trying her best to keep me calm, and feeling bad about what I went through even when I was starting to tear up from the mess I saw by the time I rose my head slowly off of the ground to observe the damage I made to his corpse.

Once I saw that it was my mess that I had done, the tears began to flow from my eyes and this gave off my guilt inside of me starting to unveil when I am trying my best not to cry. But unfortunately, I gave in so easily to it.

"I... I took his life! I'm a murderer!" I was literally screaming out while my tears crawl and my sobs seem almost uncontrollable.

"But at least you managed to get rid of your attacker who was doing his best to try and kill you, practically did a favor for the town here on Earth." Alex commented calmly as if nothing was wrong.

Rainbow Dash turns her head to look at Alex who approaches them with her rose colored eyes. "Alex, that is not helping at all." She says to him, getting her hooves off of me so I could get up off of the ground.

Twilight is gently shushing me, placing the both of her wings around and giving me a comforting hug. "It's not your fault Brayden... it's going to be okay."

"No, it isn't! I took someone's life by my own hands, which murder is something forbidden to do here on this Earth! How is my own mother or the ponies of Equestria ever trust me as their friend again when I make the confession that I killed a human in cold blood?! They won't ever!" I was sobbing while Starlight Glimmer uses her magic to conjure a tissue for me.

"It wasn't murder you committed..." Starlight tells me, handing me the tissue which I took from the magic aura of hers to wipe my nose and eyes of tears. "You were doing all that you could to protect us from harm."

"But how? I'm more human than any of you." I said, still sobbing a bit and drying the tears from my eyes.

Rarity speaks out when I have made that statement. "Yes, you may the human form, but there is more to you than you think and it is something we believe. You are all a close friend to us. With your own race it's a different story, so you should not be put to blame. Had it been murder on somepony who is a friend, we would greatly condemn-"

"Rarity!" Twilight warns her to know that wasn't helping.

"Sorry Twilight..." Rarity says, sounding a little disappointed herself. "Even if it was the case, I would hate to see my friendship being torn in half with Brayden."

My fiance turns back around, looking at my brown eyes with those heavenly violet eyes of hers, her soft hooves taking my hands and holding onto them. "Brayden, you're not a murderer. You saved all of our lives, and had you not arrived on time we would have all been hurt or sent off to the scientists here on Earth... and you were right about that."

I let out a bit of a sigh, and talk to her. "It's not safe here as I thought it would be, and I think we need to pack up and go back to Equestria. I don't want to put you all through any more danger..." The tone of my voice sounds a bit tired even after sobbing for a bit.

"Ah hate ta say that Ah knew somethin' bad would happen on Earth," Applejack says to me. "Sugarcube, are ya alright?"

"Yeah..." I said, moving slowly to get up. "I'm... fine..."

The sudden pain from the machete's cut, the bullets, bruises and knife wounds strikes me as soon as I was getting up, and I had a bit of a loud grunt sound out before falling to my knees with my right arm supporting me before I could fall to the ground. My friends gasp while Twilight is still at my side.

"Oh no... you're hurt!" Twilight says to me, moving underneath my right arm to support me so I don't fall again. For my left arm, I can see Moondancer moving underneath to keep me balanced. "Don't worry, we'll get back to the cottage and we'll patch you up before we start gathering stuff and going back home."

Fluttershy is carefully examining my injuries that I had even on my left cheek. "There is medical supplies and bandages. I'll use them to stop the infections and heal you, as I have done for many of my animal friends."

"Come on, let's get moving now. I don't think we should stay in this place any longer." Starlight tells us, making the leadership position to move forward as Twilight was teaching her.

Alex walks up ahead, signalling us to follow him. "I have a van by the entrance that we can leave from, but we must hurry or the authorities could show up at any moment now and we'll all be science food."

I don't say anything, but I take my time in walking slowly as I was getting up and making sure that Twilight and Moondancer were there so that I didn't fall again. My back can feel the soft hooves of Fluttershy as she took flight and was gently moving forward to rub my back on parts that I haven't really got hurt with.

My eyes don't even turn once back towards the mess I made of my enemy when I was in aid and brought safely to the van in the middle. The girls will do what they can to patch me up for now...

It's no longer as safe as I thought it would be... time to go home to Equestria...

A/N: Only one more Earth part left! Next chapter post, you'll most likely hear what I thought about the Season 6 finale "To Where and Back". Thank Celestia I managed to read the synopsis before the spoilers came out.

Alright, time to head off to bed. See you next chapter!
