Night Comet had immediately started writing four letters that he had sent out through Spike’s fire breath. “So when are they gonna be here?” Twilight asked. “If they even come.” “They wouldn’t dare to go against our mother’s will. give it an hour and they will be here.” Night Comet said and sat down to the throne that had Twilight’s cutie mark on it. “Is this the map that showed where to go?” Night Comet asked and pointed at the cutie mark map that was in front of the chair. “Yeah… it’s a great map of Equestria but it also serves as my dinner table.” Twilight said and laughed. All the sudden the doors to the room flew open and Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack walked in with smiles. “Hi girls!” Twilight said cheerfully and smiled. “You need something?” “No we are fine. We just decided to come and check that everypony here was all right.” Rarity said and five of them walked in to the room. “Well I think it’s about time.” Night Comet said from Twilight’s seat. “Time for what?” Twilight asked and lifted an eye brow. “Three… two… one…” Night Comet said and a loud noise of shattering glass could be heard around the room. A couple of seconds later a black Pegasus stallion with a turquoise mane dropped down from the sealing. “OH GOD THAT STUNG!” He said in pain as he crashed down to the floor. “Thunderlane?!” The girls yelled in surprise. “Hi girls… sorry about your sealing windows Twilight.” He said and gave an awkward laughter. “You know I'm a bit disappointed that you would say hi to them first.” Night Comet said and looked at Thunderlane from Twilight’s seat. “Sorry it’s nice to see you Night Comet.” Thunderlane said and walked over to him and sat down to Applejack seat. “Any idea when the rest of us are gonna get here?” Thunderlane asked. “Three… two… one…” and another sealing window was shattered but this time a snow white Pegasus stallion with neon blue mane dropped down from the sealing. “OUCH THAT HURT! Damn windows.” He said in pain as he stood up. “Oh! i’m terribly sorry about your windows your highness.” He said and kneed down as Twilight and her friend were looking at him. “SPIN!” Pinkie yelled and jumped forward and brought the white stallion into a strong hug. He only gave a small squeaked and said. “Do I know you?” He said. “No! No you don't.” Pinkie said and walked back to her friends who were wondering what and why Pinkie did that. “Well it would be nice if you would give us some attention too.” Night Comet said and looked at him. “It’s great to see you Spin.” “It’s good to see you too Night Comet” He said and walked over to the table and sat down at Pinkie’s seat. “So are the rest coming?” “Three… two… one…” Night Comet counted down again and another loud noise of windows being shattered were heard and an orange Pegasus stallion with blue mane dropped down from the sealing "SON OF A… Twilight?” He said and looked at Twilight in surprise. “It’s nice to see you too decided to destroy my sealing windows Flash.” Twilight said and chuckled a bit. “Sorry…” Flash said and rubbed back of his head. “You know that we are here too.” Night Comet said and looked at him. “Oh hi guys.” He said and walked over to the table and sat down at Rarity’s seat. “So we are missing one more.” “Not for long. Three… two… one…” Night Comet counted down one last time and again a crash could be heard and a baby blue Pegasus stallion with a navy blue mane dropped down. “THAT HURT MORE THAN I THOUGHT!” He said in pain and stood up. “Soarin?!” Rainbow Dash yelled in surprise. “Oh hi Dash. How have you been.” Soarin asked cheerfully. “Oh for the love of Celestia! Why all of you ignore you family members!” Night Comet yelled frustrated. “Sorry.” Saorin said and sat down at Dash’s seat. “It’s been a while since we all been together.” Soarin said. “Yeah. and there is a good reason for our little gathering… Princess Twilight if you would join us.” Night Comet said and pointed at Fluttershy’s seat. “Of course I will join our little talk.” Twilight said cheerfully and sat down with the five stallions. Her five friends just stood a couple of meters away and listened. They knew that this was something they didn’t need to get involved at. “So as I told our mother wants me to rebuild the Knights of night. And I would like you to join me since you are the elements of heroism with me.” Night Comet said. “Elements of heroism are useless… the crystals are gone and he is gone… it’s useles to try to find them when we don’t have six ponies who could wield them.” Spin said in a serious tone. “Yeah his right. The elements of heroism are a lost cause.” Soarin said. “Most likely yes but I want the crystals here so that I could do some research about them. I might be able to find some use to them.” Night comet said. “Ok anything else.” Flash asked. “Yes… I have already done the paper work and you are now in service to the Knights of night. Which is at the moment under her majesty Twilight Sparkle’s command. Your rooms are in the second floor and there should be a ceremonial set of armour and a set of combat armour there. Also your swords are there. Does anyone want to go back to their life and not join our ranks?” Night Comet asked and looked around the table. “I’ll follow you since you have always led us to a better future.” Thunderlane said and looked at Night comet. “You know what… the air force had a shit pay anyways. I’m in.” Spin said and smiled. “Being a guard in the crystal empire is so boring… I think a small adventure would be nice.” Flash said and smiled at them. “The wonderbolt pay is good… but I could not leave you guys hanging.” Soarin said. “Great. Since Three of you have served in the military I’m trusting you to give Thunderlane a crash course on combat. Flash you are my new second in command and Spin you are my new lieutenant in charge of combat operations. Soarin I want you to be the head trainer in dog fighting and areal moves and Thunderlane you are our weather expert since you are a weather pony.” Night comet said to them and they all nodded back at him. “So what’s our first mission?” Flash asked. “We need to find and take back the elements of heroism… I don’t yet know where they are but I will do some research on where he could be hiding with them. Give me a couple of days. Until them I want you to get to know this castle and the ponies in this town. I’ll call you four here when I got some thing new.” Night Comet said and the four stallions just nodded back. “You are free to go.” Four of them got up and walked out of them room and went towards their rooms that were on the second floor of the castle. Night Comet and the girls were still in the room. “So they are the elements of heroism?” Twilight asked in amazement. “Yeah… it could be worse… maybe.” Night Comet laughed. “Anyways I’m gonna need some help with my research would you like to help.” “Of course. Girls you can leave we got some research to do.” Twilight said and the girls walked out and went on their own way. Fluttershy and Applejack left the castle to do their chores but Rarity, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash stayed behind looking at the stair way that would go up to the second floor…
