Chapter 27: The griffins

August 10--The sun has just peeked over the horizon.

I pressed a few buttons on the MTSC. It should now send me to Manehatten, which is both were The Lunar Base is, and Celestia'a army. All it took was a quick sonar pulse to find it. I bet the human's know where they are. They're probably trashing Canterlot right now, soon to leave and finish off the ponies in Manehatten. Bentley was mumbling and growling that he couldn't go with me. I need to do this solo, the rest of my team weren't coming either. I had Chuck in my pocket, and Twilight leaned against a wall as she read 'Ender's Game'. I waved good-bye, and stepped through the portal. The same transition happened, something that you just can't get use to. As Manehatten took shape around me, I could see dozens of injured ponies walking around, all had The Sun Empire logo wrapped on their right foreleg. Celestia was sitting in a mobile throne, conversing with her strategists. They were in a small tent, a table with a map of Canterlot in the central. I saw this, and walked near the tent. A white unicorn royal guard and a blue earth royal guard crossed their spears as I went toward the tent. They blocked my way. No one Stops me. I said,

"I need to speak with Celestia." They said in unison,

"Halt, nopony shall enter."

"I'm trying to save your sorry flanks, and you won't let me." The unicorn said,

"Celestia has given us strict orders to not let anypony in."

"Well, if you're going to play like that", I took a fighting stance, legs tensing up, ready for action. "Then I will get in there, wether you both let me, or die trying to stop me." They lowered their spears, the snapped them toward me, I jumped forward, kicked a spear out of the unicorns hands, then grabbed the pegasus's spear. I pushed off of the unicorn's armour, and landed a few feet away, with them defenseless and a spear in my hoof. They didn't back down, they both ran at me. I ducked, the pegasus flew over me, but the unicorn struck me in the jaw with a fist. I reeled back, getting hit by the pegasus as be crashes into me from behind. I hears a loud voice yell,

"STOP!" A white, warm aura held me in place, with the other guards. Celestia went through the tent flap, appearing angry. "Human," she said with a harsh tone of voice, "what are you doing here? Why are you attacking us?" I said,

"I'm not, these asshat guards of yours wouldn't let me through. I need to talk to you." She pondered this for a second, then released me, making me fall onto the ground. Celestia said,

"Very well, come in. And don't try anything." She disappeared into the tent. I quickly trotted through the tent flaps. What met my eyes, were about three of the pony scientists from before, and two new ponies. Their clothes lead me to believe that one controlled the skies, the other the ground. A large, brown paper map was resting on top a wooden table in the center. The map was covered in lines and notes. The two ponies acknowledged me with a nod as I stepped up to the table. I said,

"You need to drop this pointless squabble. The real threat is the reapers-" Oops, been playing too much Mass Effect, "I mean the humans." Celestia said,

"You are human. Why would you help us?"

"I may be human, but it's not by choice. I never was given a chance to choose what creature I would be. And There are many, many, different sides when it comes to humans. Everyone thinks they're right. We're all different, each one of us unique. The ones with weapons, are part of the humans that wan't you gone. Most of my race wants you to stay alive. A few even worship you. And I'm the protector of Earth. If it weren't for me, the human race would have destroyed it's self a thousand times over. And right now, I'm trying to stop them from killing all of you. Don't judge me because I'm human, on my world, we call that prejudice. That has killed so many of us. I could just leave, and have my advanced race kill all of you. But you know what? I'm not letting them. The humans can't just take what they want. My race is one built on conflict, hate, science and technology. Your race is built off of friendship and magic. Your magic can't stop a bullet. Who do you think will win this? You're outgunned, outmanned, outsmarted, and there's no moral at all. Look around you! Does anyone here look like they're going to win! No! You have two choices: extinction or freedom with my help. What will it be?" Celestia didnt say anything for almost a minute as an air of awkwardness surrounded us. Celestia swallowed her pride, and said,

"I, the royal princess, declare that Equestria requests your assistance in this war." Finally. Now to get Luna. I left the tent, hearing soft whispers of the ponies in the tent. I pulled Chuck out of my pocket with my magic. I told him,

"Bring up a map of Manehatten. And locate The Lunar base while you're at it."

"Why, lose your dildo?" Chuck said as a map came up on the screen. I followed the path set on the screen, and found myself at a large, luxury hotel. It didn't have a name anywhere on it. I pushed open the doors, to see the lobby empty. It was a generic, clean lobby you would see in a hotel. I walked in, not feeling that chilly air rush past you. They must not have ACs in Equestria. I could hear faint splashing sounds from a nearby door that had the word pool above it. Chinese water torture maybe? I went through the door, to find Luna and a few soldiers playing in a pool. You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. I stormed across the wet tile. As I pounded my feet as I ran right next to the pool, but my right foreleg slipped, causing the feeling of falling to go straight to my crotch. I crashed into the water, leaving a large red mark on half on me, and a pain shot through me. I screamed,

"OWWWW! FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" As I splashed above the water. Luna jumped over me, playfully landing on top of me. She said in a joyous tone of voice,

"Sir Blaze! How nice to see you and your oddly red side of your skin!" I was pissed. I came here with intentions of saving Equestria. Instead, I get Luna and her army splashing around in a pool as humans slaughter dozens of innocent ponies. This is no time for childish games! Rage fueled my veins as my head grew hot. I screamed out, my yells piercing Luna's ears. A glowing light green surrounded me, then quickly expanded, pushing the water away. The green orb encased the whole pool, sending all the water out. I stood at the bottom of the pool, dripping with water and breathing heavily. All the ponies stood at the bottom of the pool, staring at me. The water slowly started to pour back into the pool from the room. Luna had wide eyes as she looked at me. My hair fell down my face, hiding my eyes. It stuck to my face as I breathed in repeated rhythm. I glowed with a green aura that slowly started to dissipate as my anger subsided. I pushes my hair out of my face as I growled at Luna,

"Equestria is at war. Ponies are getting killed. AND YOU'RE SPLASHING AROUND IN A POOL LIKE A CHILD!" Luna lowered her head slightly, showing signs of guilt and sadness. I calmed down, and said, "This is no times for games. I need you to help me and Celestia to fight off the human threat." Luna walked over to me, and put a hoof on my shoulder. She said,

"Lo Neon, I accept your invitation to the fight. I never wanted to fight my sister anyway. I just liked the idea of being like the humans. Their sense of justice is a great one!"

"I guess... some humans are are righteous. Though sometimes misguided, our hearts are often in the right place with a lot of morals and ethics. For a select few. But, we need to see Celestia again, to plan about this." Luna raised her hoof to her horn, with a look of lust on her face. But she quickly stopped herself. She muttered things like, already, and, it can't be that time just yet. I didn't care, so I left the hotel, with Luna following me.

As we walked outside, some mares looked a bit dazed. While some stallions seemed nervous. I walked into Celestia's tent, the two princesses stared at each other as Luna went in. I cleared my throat and said,

"Our first goal is to get the griffens on our side. If we can convince them that the humans will take their land, they will join us. Then the dragons. All we need to do is give them gems. I would say about thirty or forty." Luna said,

"I think we can supply that amount of gems. As for the griffins, our relationship between the races are quite hostile compared to a thousand years ago." Celestia nodded and ordered the guards to bring forty gems from the royal vault. I took up a piece of chalk and made lines and marks on the map. I said,

"We should strike here, that's where the humans wouldn't expect it. Flanking is what they will try-" Celesta cut me off,

"Flanking? Is that some kind of dance move involving heavy flank shaking?" I facehoofed, and said,

"No, it means they will attack us on the side. We need to have a counter group stop that. Now, here's where the dragons came into play..." We discussed the plans, Luna watching intently and Celestia getting nervous. The map was covered in various colored lines and notes. There were backups for everything, this will be a close shot, Equestria's last hope, and if we lose, Equestria is doomed. I accounted for everything I could, humans sending in missiles, tanks, even biological warfare. I asked Celestia to teleport me to griffin territory, she did, and I left the two sisters to look over the plan.

I appeared in the middle of an ancient looking settlement. The buildings looked new, but designed old. It looked almost like buildings from ancient China. There were two stone griffin statues guarding the large building I walked over to. It looked to have been the town hall. Then I noticed that it was quiet, there was no one in sight, nor could I hear anything. A eerie wind broke the silence. I slowly pushed open the doors, they creaked as they swung inside. All I could see was a glimpse of a wood desk, before something with feathers crashed into me, sending me flying back outside. I landed in a tumble, but caught myself on my feet. My mouth spit out dirt as a looked for the attacker. By the feel of it, I think it was a griffin. But why would they attack me? My head swished around in an attempt to find it. Nothing could be heard, with the exception of the wind. Wait, the wind... that's it. I listened to the wind, hearing an increase in decibels on the back right of me. I rolled right, seeing a flash of feathers screech by me, just missing my skin. I heard the wind louder on my left side, and dodged backward. The griffin cut off a piece of my hair as it flew past. I'm not going to last long at this rate- I heard a swoosh and the griffen flashed by me again, leaving a large, deep scratch on my face. I rubbed the scratch as it bled small droops. The creature is using its claws. How do I counter claws? I need something that's high on the Mohs scale. Fingernails are 2.2–2.5, and hooves are close to fingernails, but a bit harder. That should do it. I listened to the wind again, hearing it loudest from behind me. I spun around, holding my hooves forward. A pair of claws scratched against them, but I wasn't hurt. I then grabbed the griffin and slammed it into the ground. Dust exploded from the ground. I jumped backwards, watching the white pile of feathers to move. As the dust cleared out, it shot straight upwards. It went inline with the sun, and soared back down, right on top of me.

Hey guys, I work pretty hard on this story, and It's a lot more than just, "Writing it." Unlike some people, *cough*kickass222urmom*cough* I'm very busy with me being a programmer. And also, I make a lot of machima and other videos, often doing a lot more than just write the story. Like, I made a few videos of for this story, I'm making a machima for it, and just other things far outside of writing it. So, I would like all of you guys to spread this story around, make their ears bleed with blatant advertising!
