Put the words in the bag and nopony gets hurt

T

It has been a long time since the Changelings tried invading Canterlot. Their attack has been repelled and all Ponies believe the Changelings to be defeated.
What they don't know is that they are far from defeated.

This is the story of Thunder Strike, a Pegasus and Lunar Guard Soldier. He joined the Guard as a still fairly young colt, hiding his true reason for joining the Lunar Guard from everypony else. Together with the Unicorn Blaze from the Solar Guard he is enjoying his time in the Guard as much as one possibly could.

Soon though, his feelings for somepony else blind him, causing a massive chain of events that nopony could have ever foreseen.


Additional Characters: Shining Armor, Cadance, Mane Six

This Story plays before Season 6, meaning FlurryHeart hasn't been born yet and Thorax also is not yet "a thing" (In case you are wondering).

Thanks to my good friend Toasty who helps me out with pointing out mistakes and giving me great ideas for the story, cheers mate!

This story is being proofread by an awesome person called Infuscate, I thank him lots for spending time on correcting my rather stupid mistakes :raritywink:

Feel free to point out errors in the Story, as I am still learning on how to write stories (apart from the fact that english isnt my first language :pinkiesad2:)

This is the Story of Thunder Strike, a Pegasus and Lunar Guard Soldier. He joined the Guard as a still fairly young filly, hiding the true reason for joining the Lunar Guard from everypony else. Together with the Unicorn Blaze from the Solar Guard he is enjoying his time in the Guard as much as one possibly could.

Soon though, His Feelings for somepony else blind him, causing a massive chain of events that nopony could have ever forseen.

1) - invading (it doesn't need to be capitalised)

2) - don't (don't is a contraction on "do not", you need an apostraphe between the n and the t)

3) - story (capitalisation, again)

4) - colt (filly is female, colt is male)

5) - his (hiding his true reasons, the reasons belong to him, so rather than 'the' use 'his', just flows better)

6) - his feelings (capitalisation, again)

7) - foreseen (just a spelling error here)

7469026 Haha, thanks alot for pointing out my mistakes :twilightsheepish:

"Alot had changed since his last visit a couple of days ago" should be a lot

"grab the Princesses by their hoofes" should be hooves

"Would be a shame to waste our precious time with these sorry beings" should be it would be a shame...

"It is time to ridden myself and my hive from the plague that is you and your disgusting subjects!" " should be rid

immediatly should be immediately
"I ensure you all die rather quickly" should be I will ensure...

all in all, this was good. there was less mistakes than last time, so you must be getting better.

The Changeling now tried pulling his spear out of the dead Changeling's body - the capital letter isn't necessary. It's a race, not a name.
walked up to Cadance who continued her stare towards the Changeling corpse - *changeling's corpse
Cadance, you should not lose yourself over this, you protect yourself and our group with what you did - *protected yourself and our group
"She managed to convince our enemies to join us, she changed their hearts for the better! That is the way, not killing eachother!" - every time you write that phrase, you forget the space. It should be * each other
Luckily no Changeling ever turned around to attack them though and they were left in relative peace. As much as one could get on a Battlefield anyway. - * battlefield it shouldn't have a capital letter.
Celestia knew that they would not get the chance to talk again if they did not utilise the spell now. - *use instead of utilize, it just sounds wrong.

Who's the voice from behind?

This was a great chapter

7824553 other guards which is why the two friends try to quickly avoid being seen by them

He looked back a few times to check up on his fellow escapists

oh, that made me think of a comic strip where "escapist" was short for "escape artist".

7852196 Really? Never heard of that one myself.

this is fantastic!

"He hoped that this would help him find Thunder more quickly, which was much needed considering he did not have much time to spare" - this sentence is clunky, change it to some thing like "...find Thunder quicker, which was important, as he didn't have much time to spare."

"If she didn't then he will be a traitor as soon as the two of them are seen together." - will should be in italics, so it has emphasis.

"He had his own fair share of sympathies for her, they had worked together on several projects and missions in the past and have gotten used to eachother pretty well by now." - 'eachother' is really bad english, it should be 'each other'

" He slowly walked up to the exit of the tunnel, blinded by the light in which the room beneath was hulled." - Hulled makes no sense, I have no idea what you mean tbh.

"Didn't Shade cause his best friend oh so much pain and sorrow, only to satisfy himself?" - replace "oh so" with "all this"

that ending gave me diabeetus

7872162 I see what you did dere with the each other joke :ajsmug:

I want to like this story, but it's very hard with how it's written.

7905741 Yeah, I know this ain't my best work. That's the bad side of not being a native english speaker, really.

Nice story. Definitely looking forward to the next chapter when resuming.

8219477 Glad to hear! Was planning on resuming it in a couple weeks, in the middle of the summer holidays
:twilightsmile:

Dude, we need the next chapter?

Something must be broken with my browser, because there is no 'next' button :fluttershysad: .
Great story so far!

I must say I've never been this bored before this early on while reading a story with this sort of topic. Annoyed by shitty writing? Sure. But never bored. Guess I'll never know what happened next since I see no real point in continuing this if I'm not enjoying it.

In a situation like this one. A lunar guard's only priority is the safety of Princess Luna. The first thing he should have considered is the power required to harm her to that extent and realize that alone he is out matched. Upon realizing this his best course of action should be to evacuate her back to Hallow Shades or another Enclave location for treatment. The others will likely catch on to any fake pretty quickly and abandon it in favor of either a counter ploy to learn Luna's whereabouts or a withdrawal to better understand the severity of the situation.
