Twilight POV
<><><><><><>
As I wake up with my mentors sun shining in my eyes, I smile at the day to come. And that smile grew even more when I realized how many questions I had stockpiled up from my previous talk with Tusk. I just had so many more questions! I quickly jumped out of my comfortable bed and went towards my kitchen to make some coffee and write the questions I had down on a piece of paper as to not forget them. As I walked into the kitchen, a smile still plastered onto my face. After I made some coffee and got a piece of paper, I decided to send a letter to Princess Celestia about Tusk. But just as that thought escaped my mind, my smile faltered and fell. 'Oh know. I already sent a letter to the Princess explaining Tusk. And it wasn't referring to Tusk as a very kind pony. Or whatever he is. How did I forget to ask him that?' Oh, what am I going to do?!
The day before
Celestia POV
<><><><><><>
As the last noble left the day court, I could only sigh at how ridiculous these requests were getting. I believe that last noble said something about how faulty and fake the new jewelry is. And I guarantee it was just complaining about the "Faulty" and "Fake" jewelry, and not asking for something to be done. But just as that noble left, I got a letter from Twilight.
Dear Princess Celestia
I require your help, as a strange alien creature has tooken residence with Fluttershy for the past week, and no one knows the power this alien could possess other than what Rainbow Dash has told us when Scootaloo told her about it. She says it can shoot magical death beams out of a stick! After dragging this... Thing back to the castle, I gave a good hard look at it and got to see it's features. It is a tall creature clad in a strange grey armor that has random olive green half circles on its chest and face, and these strange pads on it's chest that look to be made out of iron, and is roughly 6' tall if what I saw is correct with a face made of a curved T with a frown seemingly plastered to it's face, and also has two tusks at the bottom of it's head... I don't know what to do and I would like your assistance in this. The alien is currently in the castle after Pinkie Pie hit in the back of the head with a frying pan, which rendered it unconscious. There is no telling what this alien could do, but I am planning to question it as soon as it wakes up.
Your student fellow princess, Twilight Sparkle
WHAT! I cant believe what I am reading. A strange alien creature? That can shoot magic from a stick? This has to be a joke, but I know Twilight would never joke at a matter like this. I need to go to Ponyvill immediately! As Celestia quickly gets out of her seat and goes to Luna's room, while scanning her memory to see if she has faced or even heard of what Twilight has described in her letter.
Luna POV
<><><><><>
I was just getting up when I suddenly heard the clip-clop of hooves coming towards my door. As quickly as possible, I put on my royal regalia and walked towards the door. About half way towards the gilded floor, the door opened to reveal my sister. "Hello dear sister, what are you doing here?" I questioned.
"There seems to be an emergency at Ponyville that require's our immediate attention. Twilight Sparkle sends a message of distress about some alien she describes." After she said this, I quickly asked for the note and read it over, and was surprised by what I read.
"Are you sure Celestia? If what dear Sparkle describes, we need to depart for Ponyville immediately. If some "alien" is able to walk freely, there is no telling the consequences". I say to not only state it, but assure myself the truth, for dear Sparkle would never lie at a matter such as this.
"Yes sister, I have already called for a squad of our finest soldiers to depart at dawn tomorrow." Celestia stated. "And we must not wait any longer sister, for Twilight and her friends could be in trouble." Though I believe my sister's last statement, I can not help but worry for Twilight and the other Elements of Harmony.
Stark Shield POV
<><><><><><><>
As the sergeant of this squad, I have a duty to protect the Princesses and this country from harm, and also a much harder task of keeping my squad in order. Typical to give me the newest recruits. I have been in this military for thirteen years, and performed exemplary if I might add and the past two squads I have commanded have all been recruits. Not a typical recruit you would find on duty, no. You would see me with young sprite, and extremely annoying recruits fresh from the academy. I had tooken control of this squad a week ago, and already I wish I could jump off this mountain. But my rant of these incompetent fools was halted when the door opened to reveal our beloved Princess. We all quickly bowed, and I questioned why she had here. "Princess, I hope you do not mind me asking, but why are you are?" I inquired.
"You all are probably wondering why I am here, and the answer to that is because I have need of your services Sergeant."
"But Princess, no offense of course, but why would you want us?" I asked
"You see Sergeant, a threat has risen in Ponyville, and me and my sister require some assistance, and I need you to prep yourselves and ready by early tomorrow morning." She informed us.
"But why us? I mean, I understand why you would want me of course, but the others? They just got out of the academy a week ago!" I exclaimed, not to keep them safe, but to question just... why? 'The are all imcompetant fools who should not even have the title of a security guard!' "The reason why I have chosen you and your new squad is because there performence was beyond and above the standards set. And I want to see this first hand, for I have high expectations for you and your squad. Are you saying you do not think your squad is capable, Sergeant?" She seemed to peel the pride off of me like a bandaid.
"N-no, of course not Princess. We will be ready by morning to deal with this threat with you and Princess Luna" I said.
"Good, make sure that you are" She said while simultaneously closing the door. We all stared at the door in silence until I decided to beak it. "ALRIGHT MEN! YOU HEARD THE PRINCESS, GET READY!" I shouted the command to my squad, and then added "That mean's you too Comet" which was quickly followed by a disappointed 'Ohhhh...' I then realized something. The Princess didn't exactly tell us what we were dealing with. No matter, for I am sure my great and extensive military career and training will be more than enough!
Meanwhile in Ponyville-
A certain clone had a very bad feeling about tomorrow morning...
