The mentioned names of the 'Templars' ringed in Luna's head. She heard of those words before, but not a question that would put simply her sister as their leader.
'What the buck are they talking about?' Luna thought as she still process information about it. However, Twilight stood up to the defense of her mentor and said:
"Okay enough with this crazy non-sense! How dare you put Princess Celestia as a ruler of this 'Templars' and what is behind you-know-what around the neck of her!"
"Oh enough with that defense sentence. I would clearly show you what is behind the 'you-know-what' around the neck of Celestia." The hooded filly said.
"None if I say about it. GUARDS!" Twilight shouted. Suddenly, four armed guards appeared with their body and weapons ready to take down the hooded mares.
"Guards, take down this stupid bucks and chase them if they run!" The guards nodded and readied themselves to charge the hooded mares. However, the hooded mares just stood there, as if nothing happened. The guards galloped themselves towards the hooded mares with their spears, intending to stab them dead.
"DIE YOU BUCKS!" They cried as they are almost there to stab them, but to their surprise, the hooded mares dodged their spears, going sideways. They grab the spears, getting the guards off-guard, and they stabbed them. They dropped to the ground, dead, with a pool of blood. The hooded mares dropped the spears and their attention is brought back towards the ponies.
"Anything else you want to say?" The black hooded mare asked them in a taunting gesture.
"I WILL NOT GET YOUR HOOVES ON THE PRINCESS! GUARDS!" Twilight shouted at the very height of her volume. More guards just showed up, this time with swords.
"HAH! What will you do now?!" Twilight asked them also in a taunting gesture. The filly just come forth, with a weird looking axe and a little dagger.
(Music)
"I do hope your ready." The black hooded mare said.
"I'm always pronto." The filly answered back as she ran towards the guards. The guards are more than willing to kill a very dirty filly, even though it's innocent. However, the filly dodged two guards ponies and swung towards the third one, using her axe to deflect the sword and using her dagger to his throat. The guard is dead mere seconds later.
'What the....How could a filly...' Twilight was lost in her thoughts as the filly got to her axe and slice off another guard. Another guard tried to charge at her, but the filly just used her axe to deflect again the sword and slice off near it's throat again. The other hooded mares also helped the filly, with the filly circling one of the guards, stabbing him in the next with the dagger, and circling him again and sliced of his head with her axe. The other hooded mares got to expel the guards with their weapons, most notably the daggers at the side of their hooves, except one of the hooded mares which has a bow.
'Oh no....This is not good.' Twilight thought to herself with an overwhelming feeling of doom. The hooded mares step aside their weapons, and the filly said:
"Get out of here Twilight. Our business is with Celestia."
"How do you know even my name?!"
"It doesn't matter. Step aside please."
"NEVER!" Twilight shouted. Her friends also come up to the defense of Celestia, but in this do or dire situation, they realize that these mares have some skills not by magic, but by hoof-to-hoof combat and martial arts, much like Rarity. However, Fluttershy stood forward and asked them:
"What do you want from our leader mare?" As usual, the black hooded stood forward and replied:
"If you want to know us, come with us. If you want to fight us, then it's your last mistake. Our only business here is with Celestia. Just step aside and-" She was cut off by the door opening, and could see Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Vinyl Scratch. They are horrified to see the dead bodies, and the hooded mares before them.
"I....I.....I...." Vinyl was lost in her words, but suddenly, a guard with a cross with red ruby just moved in, with a ready-to-cut sword.
"HA! Some Assassins, I will cut you all!"
"Not if I think about it." The ponies turned their heads and saw one of the white hooded mares stepped in, with her deadly bows ready.
"HA! Your silly bow! What could you do Assassin? Doesn't matter, I WILL KILL YOU!" The guard charged in with full gallop, with his sword ready. However, the hooded mare just stood there, and she just dodged the sword and stabbed the stallion in the neck, resulting in his quick death.
"Riposa in Pace Templar." The mare said, before hiding her weapon back.
'But...But....How could?!' Twilight was also lost in her thoughts but the hooded mare approached Luna, and she offered:
"If you want to join us, just visit us in the dead of night." Luna wide-eyed on this, but the hooded mare approached Vinyl, and said:
"You, come with us. You have something your bloodline has."
"But...But what is it?!" Vinyl demanded.
"You will know soon. Come with us, we will discuss something." The hooded mare, going back to her friends and exiting the castle, with Vinyl nervously and cautiously following them.
