> Red knight > by Connorcooper > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My life was changed in a single action... One moment I'm asleep when a sharp blade slits my throat killing me almost instantly as I watch my low boring life flash before my eyes I awoke to this... A dragon... He told me I had two choices go to heaven... Or go to another world as his champion of light. Do you want to know what I picked? Right, that is why your here isn't it? "Priestess!" A pony guard wearing Japony style armor ran into the temple panting. Turning to the guard she rises up from the wounded Fox soldier as she walked over to him as he looks up, the young man placing a hand on his shoulder the pony guard looks up. "They breached the outer gate! It's only a matter of time before the break into the temple!" The guard said as The priestess of the light gave a look of worry. For about 14 days an organized and large diamond dogs attack the country of Japony going straight for its capital the army didn't have time to react as it was almost whipped out in a mere heartbeat. They kill the men and rape the woman like any raider group would and its been hell on the government the country had to turn to there allies the Equestrian military but it would be a week till they arrive but they didn't have a week. Due to this Tao and the rest of her fellow priestess sister aided the wounded during this time, she was covered in so much blood from this she barely had any clean clothes left. She let the soldier go to the head priestess as she bit her finger as she began to wonder what will happen now as she turns to the statue of the dragon of light she walked up to it with her hands together as she began to pray to the idol. On her knees, she began to pray. "Oh holy dragon of light hear my prayer I ask of you...No beg of you help us in our darkest hour for we are in great need if this temple falls so do all of your followers so please..." (Little did she know she was glowing) "Help us," As she opens her eyes a blinding light filled the room as she was thrown from the statue as the rest of the soldiers and priestess were blinded by the light. All lowered their arms to see what had happened as the light died down a being that was resting on his knees with a sword in hand as the white helmed being in strange red and black armor. Tao lowered her arm as she looked up at the being before her as a voice rang out... "Priestess Tao I have heard your cries for I the dragon of light give you a champion of the red sun...He will be your familiar in this dark time treat him well and he will protect you with his life," The statue spoke as Tao looked to the statue then to the being whose eyes glowed blue as he rose to his feet. "ALEXANDER OF THE RED SON! DEFEND PRIESTESS TAO THIS IS MY WILL!" WIth the statue going dark as the being rose to his feet Tao and everyone else that could stand looked at the being as they watch him stand there with a large blade in his hand. Tao looked at the being as she saw the symbol on his shoulder as she gasped... a symbol of old rested on his arm. 'That symbol...' "Tao...is it?" The knight asked looking down at her to her surprise she had to look up. She was at least 7 feet tail as for this knight of her's he was a good few inches taller than her almost beating her to 8 feet as she held her hands together she looked up at him in slight fear but something told her to claim herself as she looked upon him. "Yes...I am Tao," She said she watched as he bowed down to her with his white helm lowered. "I am Alexander of the luna blades I have come to serve under you what is it that you command?" He asked as she looked at him with her black eyes. "Well...can you fight?" She asked as to which he nodded. "Yes...What is that you need to be destroyed," He asked to which she spoke. "There is a army outside our gates can you...can you stop them?" Looking at her he rose and nodded. "You will, will be done," As he began to pass her she grabbed his hand. "Please be careful," She said as he spoke. "I will be priestess," With that, he left her there to stand as he walked outside the temple as she walked up to the gate doors of the temple to see the diamond dog horde outside the inner courtyard ready to rape and murder. But as the red giant land in the horde of dogs, he began to attack, moving faster than she would have thought for someone that big and in such heavy-looking armor along with a long blade. As he moved it was like he was dancing against the horde who were sloppy that came at him with there makeshift and looted weapon but all it would do was bounce off his armor. The main reason why they had lost so many troops was the sure number of the horde for every one that fell ten more took their place! But him? He fought without tiring as he moved faster than the eye could track as he acted like a scythe through a wheat field the troops at the gate dropped there jaws as the horde was cut down like they were nothing. As the alpha of the dogs screamed for them to attack but the dogs looked in fear at the red being before them as he was covered in the blood of his foes that fell before him. That was when the leader scoffed and went to kill the red armored knight of the heavens as the alpha raised his bloodstain cub he swung but Alexander was faster as he cut off the armed arm with a swing of his blade. The alpha screamed as he held the stump of his arm, Tao didn't know how to react as she held her hand to her face both in shock and awe but before she could fully process what had happened she watched as a large box came from the red pack that caused him to fly into the horde on the bottom of his left arm. Pointing the box to the alpha as it glowed blue before it fired an orb of pure energy that liquified the face of the giant dog. The body of the dog fell down the knight placed the box back on his back as he turned to the horde and raised his blade this caused the horde to scream in fear as they bolted not wanting to end up like the alpha or there fallen comrades. Running in fear the guards and civilians cheered as the battle was turned in a mere moment all thanks to this single sole of a 'man' before them! Turning to walk back to the temple he was meet with Tao who looked at him from the gate as he walked over to her and bowed down as she looked down at him. "What else do you require of me?" He asked as she looked at him. "Um...I don't know but please stand I'm not a high priestess or anything," She said as he rose to his feet. "It doesn't matter I'm bound to you making you my master and I was told to respect my master by the dragon of light himself whoever they may be," She looked at him with a slight smile as she spoke. "Are you hurt? You took some blows by force weapons," She said as he spoke. "My shields protect me from harm mistress," She blushed as that title as she held her cheek from the embarrassment. "Well I think its best I check you just in case I'm an excellent healer I could patch you up in no time," She said as he looked down at her. "If that is what you wish," She smiled as he walked over to her. Before they could enter the temple she was grabbed and moved out of the way of a spear made of light hitting where they were moments before. Looking up she was in the arms of this knight from heaven as she looked the sky to see...what? Celestia and Luna princesses of the Equestria? Why did they attack? "PUT THE PRIESTESS DOWN MONSTER AND FACE JUDGMENT!" Celestia shouted as Alexander narrowed his eyes. "Stay here I will deal with these attackers," He said as Tao spoke. "Wait there is a misunderstanding they are no the enemy," She said as he spoke. "But they attack you," He said as she nodded. "I think they were going for you but- never mind this is all one big misunderstand," She said as Celestia spoke. "There is no misunderstanding priestess this monster was going to slaughter you like he did to these diamond dogs he's a threat to all!" Celestia shouted as Luna spoke. "Sister I don't think this being is our enemy," She said as Celestia spoke. "He is did you see what he did to that alpha? He is a threat to all and must be destroyed!" Celestia shouted but a voice rang out. "HALT!" All turn to the temple to see an old nine tail vixen as she spoke. "The head priestess," Tao whispered as she grabbed Alexander into a bow. "Bow Alex!" "Rise all even you great protector," The head priestess said as she began to walk down the stairs. All that bowed (but the sun princess) rose up as they all turned to her. "How about we have a talk over some tea?" > Part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Now then," The head priestess spoke as she lowered her cup from her lips as she spoke. "Isn't this better?" As she asked Celestia and Luna sat crisscross with Celestia with her arms crossed and giving Alexander a death glare as Luna held a teacup looking at her sister trying to calm her down. Alexander, on the other hand, sat like his mistress Tao who was on her knees as she held a teacup as she nodded. "Yes head priestess this is nice," Tao said as the head priestess smiled. "Please my child call me Amru," Amru said to the priestess who smiled. "Of course priestess Amru," This caused Amru to smile at the vixen before turning to the red and black armored giant in the room. "Why haven't you taken a cup, great warrior?" Amru asked to which Alexander spoke. He looked at the head priestess as he spoke. "I fear if I do Celestia here will try and take off my head," Alexander told the old priestess who looked at him and smiled. "I assure you, great warrior, that won't happen unless Celestia wants to lose all trading rights with Japony," Amru warned Celestia who scoffed. "Why can't you see how much of a threat he is? He single handily took out an entire horde of armed diamond dogs with only a blade and from what I can see he has more weapons than he can use against us!" This caused Alexander to laugh. "What's so funny?" "The idea of you thinking you can beat me in single combat," He said as Celestia growled as she pointed to him. "Like you can beat me! Your a child compared to me when it comes to combat! I'm over 20,000 years old and fought in over 100 wars! I control the sun and its power flows through me! You are nothing compared to me!" She said as he turned to her. "And how many battles did you lead? How many battles did your troops need to fight while you rest behind in a gated fortress?" Alex asked as she snarled. "You dare!" "I do..." "ENOUGH both of you!" Tao said as she growled. "You're in the presence of the head priestess of the dragon of light you will show respect!" Celestia huffed as she crossed her arms as Alexander bowed his head to Tao. "Forgive me, my mistress, I didn't mean to offend you or the Head priestess," Alexander said as Tao looked at him before sighing. "I guess it's fine just don't do it again," She said as Alexander rose. "Of course mistress," Tao blushed at the name she was given as spoke. "Just take that helmet off and drink some tea already," She said. With a nod, the tau marine took off his white helmet and all looked at the face of what was under that helmet to the face of what looked like somekind of hounded beast as he took off the helmet the red eyes of the being looked down at Tao who blushed at the face of the marine. "What are you?" Amru asked to which he spoke. "What I am is a Tau marine of the Farsight Enclave and to what I am as a race I'm a Warbeast who was once apart of the primaris Blood ravens before they left me to die on a death world before I was saved and became what I am now before you," All looked at him as he took the Japony style teacup and brought to his snout and blew on it before sipping the tea as Amru spoke. "So how did you come into contact with the great dragon of light?" She asked to which he spoke. "Simple he came to me...he told me I was needed elsewhere and told me innocent lives were at stake and I came to save those lives from harm," He said as the three woman (but Celestia) smiled as she got up and spoke. "Enough of your lies why are you really here?" She asked to which the Warbeast looked to Tao with a smile. "To serve and protect her," He said as Tao raised her robe hand to cover her blush as she smiled lightly. "Well if that is what the dragon of light demands than it will be so," Amru said as Celestia looked at the leader in disgust. "You can't be seriously considering him staying here! He's dangerous and a threat to all!" She said as Amru took her tea and spoke. "Celestia old friend surely you can sense truth and the peace flowing through this great warrior that sits next to you," Amru said as Celestia growled. "He's a threat to all living things in this land," Celestia said as the wolf-like space marine moved down his cup as he spoke. "You know if you get to know me a little more maybe you know that I won't do such thing," Alex said as she scoffed. "Actually Alexander here has a point why don't you get to know him?" Armu asked to which Celestia spoke. "I don't have time to get to know this... 'thing' I have duties in Cantorlot that need attending to," She said as Luna spoke. "Well why doesn't he come with us if that will make you feel better," Luna asked to which Alexander spoke. "That won't be possible for I am not to leave lady Tao's side," Alexander said as Luna tilted her head. "Than why don't you come with us to Cantorlot Priestess Tao?" Luna asked to which the priestess looked up. "I can't I have a duty here to my people I can't just leave them," Tao explained as Armu smiled. "I think you can my child," Armu said as the young lady priestess blinked. "What are you saying head priestess?" Tao said. The wise old fox sipped her tea as she lowered her hands with the teacup within them as she smiled. "Why don't you go as a respective of the temple of the light dragon go to the Cantorlot so that princess Celestia can see our champion isn't a threat," Armu said shocking the vixen. "But priestess what about the diamond dogs what if they return?" Tao asked to which Luna smiled. "Oh I don't think they would be much of a threat after they ran they came right into our forces that were about to attack them before Alexander here showed them who's boss... Your people won't have to worry about the dogs anymore," The night princess said. "And besides we can leave a small part of our army behind till your home recovers from this attack," Alexander smiled as he turned to Alexander who smiled down at her and nodded. "Well... I guess if it's alright with the priestess," Tao spoke as Armu smiled. "You have my blessing child," "Alright, we can take the first train back to Cantorlot tonight," (two hours later) "Something the matter Mistress?" Alexander asked as he held Tao's bags as she turned to her home that had been crushed by the dogs. "Well to be honest Alex... I never need to leave Japony ever the temple has been my entire life. Going away from my home is a strange feeling," Tao said as the white helmed tau marine spoke. "If you don't want to leave we can always stay," He told her as she turned to him. "No that won't be necessary we must show Celestia you are not a threat," "Mistress how come you are so easy to trust me?" Tao smiled. "Why? Because your the dragon of light's champion of course! If he sent you to protect me than I know that is what you will do after all the dragon of light has been my entire life," She said as he looked down at her. "If that is what you say, mistress," He said as she turned to the train. "Let's go Alexander let us go see the world and all of its wounders," Tao said as she got onto the train followed by the large red space marine. As the two entered their private train car provided by the Celestia and Luna as they entered the cart Tao saw something that would be a problem. "Un oh," she said as Alexander turned to her. "What is it, mistress?" He asked to which she pointed out. "There is only one bed," She said as he smiled behind his helmet. "That is alright you can take it I can rest on the floor," He said as she spoke. "This must be a mistake we must tell them about this," Tao said as Alexander held up a hand. "Probably Celestia had it this way just so you go to her about this best we don't annoy her any more than we must," He said as she spoke. "Well... I... alright I guess its fine but I can't help the fact that you must sleep on the floor," Tao said as he chuckled. "Trust me I had slept on the more unpleasant ground before," He said as she looked to him as Tao spoke. "Why don't we share the bed," This caused Alexander to flinch slightly. "W-w-what?" "Yes I think that will be fine and besides its big enough for the both of us," She said as he was about to speak but this was his mistress wishes best he doesn't question them. "Now why don't you get out of that armor so I can see if you are wounded," Nodding he lifted his head as the back of his armor opened out as he climbed out of his armor and walked beside it causing Tao to blush at what she saw. Wearing nothing but his nerve suit that left nothing to the imagination as he let his tail go free from its armored confines of the power armor. She gulped as she eyed him with her unique colored eyes as she held out her arm. "Please lay down let's see if you took any blunging damage," She said as he nodded. 'Dragon please help me hold my urges!' As he laid on the bed she crawled onto the bed as she placed her hands on his chest as she began to check this darkened fur being as her hands began to glow. Doing this Alexander watched her do her magic as she looked at him with a lit blush on her face as she turns back to his body as her mind began to wander in 'questionable' thoughts. She was not one to think such things because all the males she knew where nothing more than lust drunk fools that wanted little more than a woman in bed and to have only sex with the female before leaving her to raise their bastard. Something told her otherwise about this male before her, from the little amount of time she know him he was the complete opposite to the males she knew personally he was something else completely. He was her protector and wouldn't dark think about harming her or anything for it would stain his honor if he would have done so! She turned to the head of the space marine who was now asleep in her arms as she smiled, he looked quite cute as he slept a bit too much for a such a warrior that she saw fighting not but a few hours ago. Tilting her head she moved her head to his forehead and kissed the sleeping warrior as he slept for saving her people as she raised her head she laid down beside him as she smiled looking at the marine. As she laid there the train cart bumped up and down every so often as it began to rock her asleep like a baby in a cradle as she turned away from the marine as she began to think of the warmth she felt in her heart. Where did this feeling come from? > Part 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tao awoke in the warmth of a bed as she rose...holding her head she looked around. This wasn't the train car, she was in somekind of room that was alien to her it wasn't like the rooms of Japony or anything like her own room. She turned around to see her red guardian asleep in his armor in a large chair as he snoozed away with his arms crossed, Tao got up as she placed her hat (forgive me if I don't know its name) back on her head as she walked over to the window of the room to see a courtyard of some castle. That was when it hit her, was she in the Cantorlot castle? Turning over to Alexander who was dead to the world she smiled as she realized what had happened, he must have gently carried her back to the castle when they arrived and did his best not to wake her. Walking over to him she placed a hand on his shoulder pad and gently shook him as his helmet lit with life as he arose from his sleep. Turning his head to the one who woke him he was meet with smiling Tao who watched as he uncrossed his arms before placing his hands together. "Forgive me, Mistress, I would have woke you but you seemed so peaceful in your slumber," He said. "Its fine Alexander I find it quite charming that you did that," She said as he rose from the chair he was sitting in. "Now where are we off to Mistress?" He asked as she looked down at her robes before speaking. "I believe I should change and you must wait outside as I do so," She said as Alexander bowed. "If that is what you wish mistress," He said as Tao shook her head with a smile as he rose and began to walk outside the room as she grabbed her bag and opened it as she pulled out a pair of fresh robes. Twilight walked down the halls of the castle alongside here friends as she was almost about to lose all sense of professionalism when she arrived. She was sent a letter from Princess Celestia that a priestess from the country known Japony had arrived at Cantrolot with a red bodyguard that was...questionable but she was to bring the elements and her friends just in case if this bodyguard had other intentions. Slightly confused on why a strange bodyguard would have other intentions from protecting the priestess, from what she heard that these priestesses had spell magic that the temple of the dragon of light only knew and didn't share with outsiders. Twilight wanted to see if she can learn some of this magic so she could teach it and so the temple won't hog a such a powerful type of magic! "So twilight what's with the deal of us bring the elements?" Rainbow asked to which Twilight shrugged. "Don't know Celestia told us to bring them here just in case don't know why but they were required apparently," Twilight said as rarity spoke. "Whatever this is it can't too long I must get back to my work I have a deadline to keep," Rarity said as the group rolled there eyes at the white-coated pony. As they entered the throne room the ponies walked into the room as the two sisters where on there respective thrones as Celestia smiled to the sight of her student as she rose as she walked down her throne as twilight smiled as she walked forward. The two hugged as Celestia broke the hug as Luna walked over to them, then Celestia spoke to the element of magic in a warm tone. "Its good to see you young twilight along with the rest of you I hope your ride here wasn't too bad," She said as the twilight spoke. "It wasn't a big deal a few bumpy trips but we got here no problem now then where are the priestess I have so many questions to ask her," Twilight said as Celestia spoke. "She is asleep last time I check that...thing carried her in from the train," Celestia said as she scoffed at the word thing. "Actually she is awake and I believe my guardian is a male, not a 'thing' princess," Tao said as she entered the throne room as the group turned to the source of the voice to all the elements and spike to gasp at what they saw. Before them was a priestess from the temple of the light dragon along next to her was a red and black armored giant standing next to her with a sword on his belt along with a white helmet on his head as a pair of blue eyes scanned them over. "Whoa..." Rainbow said as they all could agree to that statement as she saw the two who walked in. Tao walked in with her hands in her sleeves as she turned to the group as she smiled before bowing down. "You must be the elements its a pleasure to meet you I am Tao Priestess of the temple and this is my guardian Alexander," Tao greeted as Alex bowed down as well. The group looked at them before they rose up as twilight ran up to Tao and spoke. "I have so many questions about your culture! Tell how do the priestess of the temple heal without horns!" Twilight began to ask so many questions that Tao just shook her head. "Many of those questions I cannot answer for I am sworn an oath to hold the secrets of the light dragon temple," Tao said as Twilight spoke. "But surely you can see if we all learned your magic a lot of lives will be saved," Twilight said as Tao shook her head. "I understand that but I am under oath," She said as Twilight was about to say more until spike stepped up. "Twilight please respect Tao's wishes," Spike said as Twilight spoke. "But-" "No twilight stop," Spike said as Twilight did causing the others to looked at her as Pinkie gasps. "OHHHHHHHHDOYOULIKEPARTIESTELLMETHATYOUDOALSOWHYISYOURFRIENDSOBIG!IGOTTOKNOW!ANDDOYOULIKECAKES?WHATABOUTCUPCAKES!WHATSYOURFAVOITEFOODALSOWHATSWITHTHEFUNNYHAT?" Pinkie then gasped for another question. "Are you two dating," Tao and Alex flinched at what she said as Tao blushed moving her head away from Alexander who rubbed the back of his head. "Well no we just meet yesterday," Tao said as Alexander nodded. "Though we need to get to know each other," Alexander said as Tao turned to him. "Agreed," Tao said as she spoke to him before turning to the group. "Now if you excuse us we have tasks to do this morning," The group seemed confused as did the princess. "What kinda tasks?" Luna asked as Tao spoke. "Well to do our daily exercises," Tao stated as Rainbow puffed up. "Whoa, you guys exercise? You got to show me what you guys do!" Rainbow said. "After all, I am a black belt in karate," Tao turned to her as she blinked. "Karate you say? Well, I think you should come join us," Tao said as Rainbow lit up. "Can I?" (Moments later) "This isn't what I was thinking," Rainbow said as Tao and Alexander were sitting under a royal garden sitting under a cherry blossom in a meditating state. Not opening her eyes Tao spoke. "This is might not be a exercise of the body but it is of the mind," Tao said as the rest of the main six along with the watched as Luna spoke. "See sister how can someone do this and be a threat?" Luna asked Celestia as she huffed crossing her arms. "He is still a threat to all my little ponies no matter what he does," Celestia said as Luna narrowed her eyes. "So am I," "What? What makes you say that!" Celestia shouts as Tao peeked open an eye. "I have the power of the moon I could destroy all of the world if I wanted to but I don't so what am I to you? We might be sisters what if we weren't what would I be?" Luna asks with her hands out as Celestia was about to say something but stopped as she turned to Alex. Tao smiled as she closed her eyes as spoke. "It seems your trouble Princess why don't you join us?" Tao asked as Celestia looked forward. "I'm fine," "Really I can sense your quite stressed out... you know stress is the silent killer right? And meditating is a good way to relative stress," Tao said as Celestia closed her eyes with her arms crossed under her bust. "I wouldn't let my guard down while he's here," Celestia as Luna smiled. "You called him a 'he' instead of an 'it' good for you sister," Luna said as Celestia blushed before speaking. "I-I Don't use my words against me you know what I mean!" Celestia said as Luna rolled her eyes. "Sure," Tao smiled as she spoke to Alexander as the two sisters spoke. "So tell me, Alex, who is this commander farsight?" > Part 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So this farsight you saw him as a friend?" Tao asked as she and other heard the tale of the commander farsight making them all looked upon the space marine as he nodded. "Not just my friend but a equal... see I was taught to believe all alien races or Xenos where unworthy of life and when it came down to meeting one they must be purged. But when my brothers left me behind to die all because I was a warbeast I thought no one would come and save me for even the emperor that I believed was a god turned his back on me, as I bleed out i saw it. The symbol that I now wear proudly on my armor *taps his shoulder pad* The symbol of the red star," All listen to his story as he continues even Celestia was listing intensively. "That day I thought I was going to be killed off by some random xeno looters but what came was a medical party that ran to my aid. At first I still believed that xenos where a threat but as I saw the medical leader I saw not a alien but a person... a person willing to save my life. It didn't matter if he was a tau he was worried for me! A space marine that was made to kill all of there kind without a single thought. When this tau and his comrades where removing me from my damaged armor onto a medical drone I began to question my beliefs in the emperor of man and the blood ravens," "What did you do?" Fluttershy asked in a quiet voice. "Well my dear friend I was confused at first where parted of me wanted to believe while the other part of me wanted to believe there was something wrong with my beliefs. Boy was that part of me right, the moment I let go of my weapon was the moment they brought me into there ship and began to nurse me back to health and that was the moment I realized that humans, warbeast, or Felinid was no different from the tau or any xeno race for there was even Eldar on that ship that healed me," "Whats an Eldar or a Felinid?" Twilight asked as she had a notepad and pen. "Thats a story for a another time young one but when I was nursed back to health I meet Farsight himself and he wasn't what my chaplin told me about him. He was kind and filled courage, he told me that he was glad I was alive and wished if I wanted to see the galaxy from a different proscivive and my cursoity told him yes. For the next two years I learned may thing that the imperium didn't want us to know about and what horrors the very Imperium did to there own people! They would kill children even though they didn't do anything wrong all because there parent disobeyed orders in a battle all because of 'loyalty to the emperor'. After those two years I decided to take up arms and fight against the powers I once fought for as I fought alongside farsight along the way," Alexander told them as they all listens to his tale. "They called me traitor but the ones I protected called me hero! One time I defend a child that had a slight mutatntion and the imperial guard were to shoot upon this child in a firing squad. I didn't let that happen as I ambushed them right then and there with my blade and I slaughtered the heartless monsters and took the child into my arms. Though Farsight wasn't to happy with me not following his orders but he once understood what I did was right and that was good with him," "They would kill a child?" Fluttershy said as Alex nodded. "Sadly yes but that doesn't compare to the time they would destroy a entire planet all because of some rebel movement for a better life!" This caused all to gasp at the sound of it as Alex held his head in shame. "Those rebels wanted to join the Enclave but when we got there we wear all but too late for they destoried the plaents core causing it to burn the surface into nothing but ash," Alex scoffed as they looked at him in horror "All they wanted was a better life! Due to that they were all killed even the woman and children without mercy! And by the primarch Guilliman no less! He was support to be the emperor's grand champion so when that blue son of a bitch came to Farsight with a offear for a alliance and after that rebellion? Farsight told Guilliman where he can shove that alliance to. Though Guilliman said it wasn't his fault but we knew he was lying that bastard was responacble for the lives of countless innocent lives that Farsight was even furious so much that we came into battle with the primarch," That was when he moved his hand to his chest as he spoke. "And that was when I gave my life to defend my leaders life with my own..." All gasped at the sound of this as Alexander said this. "But... But if your support to be dead than how are you here partner?" Applejack asked to which the tau marine spoke. "Simple the dragon of light found me and offered me a deal... Move on into the past life with my brothers-in-arms or go on and live again as a protector for one of his maidens. Of course I asked him what he was about and what he believed in and he told me everything there was about the dragon of light for he along was our 'Greater good'! That sold me as I did it and I'm glad I got to guard such a beautiful lady as yourself Tao," Alexander said as Tao blushed holding her cheek from the complement. "And that is how I came to be in this world so tell me celestia am I still a threat to you?" Celetia turned to applejack who spoke. "He's telling the truth princess," Celestia turned back to alexander and Tao and sighed. "I guess you are...for now," "What? Princess after all he's told us how can you not believe him?" Spike asked to which the princess spoke. "I believe him dearest spike I just don't trust him," Celestia said as Spike looked at his adoptive-mother with a worry. "Besides that I don't think hes a total threat to our world that is if he willing to lay down his weapons and armor for study," Alexander shook his head. "No I can't allow you to do that," Alexander said as Twilight stood up. "Why can't you? We can learn so much from your equipment and be as advance as this 'enclave' of yours is!" Twilight said as Alexander waved his hand. "Answer is still no and it will be no as long as I draw breath and I live up for many more years than the average mortal," Alexander said as they looked to him. "Just how long can you live?" Twilight asked. "Many many long years," Alexander said as Twilight puffed. "That doesn't answer my question," "It does you just don't know it yet dearest child," "I'M NOT A CHILD!" Twilight screamed as Alexander rolled his eyes. "I believe we are done here," Alexander said as he got up as Tao did as well the two began to walk away from the group as the priestess spoke up. "Hey Alexander?" Turning his head to the priestess he blushed at what he saw before him. 'Whoa' "Yes Tao what is it?" Alexander asked to which she spoke. "Are we friends?" She asked to which he nodded. "Of course we are I thought we shared a friendly moment when you kissed my forehead," He said as Tao blushed as she covered her mouth with her sleeve. "You were awake for that?" She asked as he nodded. "Kinda I felt it to be honest," He said as she turned bright red. "I'm sorry," Tao said hiding behind her long sleeve. "You musten be sorry I liked the affection," He said with a blush behind his helmet. "I... Thank you Alexander," She said as he looked to her. "For what?" He asked to which she spoke. "For being my friend I don't have any because of one thing," She said as Alexander titled his head. "From what?" He asked to which she spoke. "My eyes haven't you tell? Some say my eyes belong to a daemon," She said as he spoke. "I... you don't have friends because of your eyes?" He asked to which she flinched. "Do you not like my eyes?" She asked as he walked over to her as he held out a hand and placed it on her cheek. "No I love your eyes...*Tao blush deepen* They are more vibriante than the star themselves," "You ready think so?" Tao asked to which he nodded. "I know so," He said as she smiled. "Thank you," "Come on lets get inside we don't want to get you fur wet," Alexander said as she looked up at him confused. "My fur wet?" He pointed to the sky as she saw it... pegesi push clouds together to have it rain. "Oh well lets head inside then," She said as he nodded with that the two friends entered the castle together...as Tao snaked her hand into his own. > Part 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (days later) After what happened under the Cherry blossom the bond between Tao and Alexander grew even stronger with each passing day as did the trust that Alexander was building with Celestia slowly but surely she grew more and more trustworthy. Twilight on the other hand grew more and more wanting of the technology that Alexander and the magic that Tao had so much so she was caught spying on them mutibal time when they where out meditating or doing there 'ti-chi'. Besides that all was normal around the castle with the day and night courts being normal complaining about simple things and the night court having to deal with the well being of the dream world. It took some time for Tao to adapt to the new style of the 'morden' life style like eating, showering, and sleeping due to this castle not being Japonynese style. Thought with the help of her most trusted champanion she quicked adapted to this new world she found herself, when question how he knew these manners he told her they were simpliar to what he was use to back when he was in the imperium though they didn't have comfortable beds, tasteful food, and warm/clean water for showers. Speaking of Alex due to his blood raven roots he was found in the royal library to read up on the knowledge of this world had to offer to which made him wounder more and more why this country had so many different wars before the 1,000 years of peace. After all to him it was still 'Knowlegde is power guard it well'. As Tao was doing her daily prayers to the light dragon her protector held a book in his hands as he read the history on the pillars trying to find out why they would betray and not hear out there 'friend' the shadow pony before he became a threat. "This is quite troubling," Tao opened her eyes as she turned her head to her protector as she spoke. "What is troubling?" She asked to which he closed the book as he turned to her. "These ponies... they remind me too much of the Imperium," He said as she looked at him with consiren. "What makes you think that?" Tao asked as Alexander spoke. "They would banish non-ponys for stealing a apple while if a pony stole a apple they would get off without a slap on the wrist it is most troubling," Alexander said as he placed the book down as Tao looked at him before looking down and speaking. "Now that I think about it you are right that is most troubling," Tao said as he walked over to her and sat down on his knees like her as she looked up at him. "Must you wear that armor all the time," He nodded as he spoke. "I must be ready to protect you at a moments notice so forgive me if I don't drop my guard even here in this castle. Its just something seems off about it," He said as she smiled grabbing his hand with her own. "Alexander you worry to much you need to relax and stay calm how about we go for a walk it may ease your mind," Tao said as Alexander nodded. "A walk? Sure I guess it won't hurt," He said holding her hand back with a smile behind his helmet. With that the two rose as they exit there room and began to walk down the hall as they came around guards who was guarding there respective zones as they stood at attention. The word of Alexander defeating a entire horde of diamond dogs traveled fast to the ears of these guards and in turn almost the entire solar and lunar guard (mostly the lunar guard) had the respect of the luna blade asta'vesa. Reaching the main hall the two entered though a side door as the room was filled with lords and ladies of the like as Celestia sat on her throne listing to them complain about the most simplest things. "That is why I subject we re-staff the entire cook team for cold fish being served in rice rolls is a crime against food," A lord said as Tao and Alexander stared at the standing lord. "Have they never had susei before?" Tao asked as Alexander spoke. "I... I... I wish not to think about it," Alex said holding his head due to the other night celestia had the royal cooks make up a batch of susei to make her guests Tao and even Alexander feel more at home. "I agree! Who serves seedweed in a dish! Unspeakable what do they think we are? Savages?" A lady shouted as the court began to talk amoug themselves. (AU Note: I tried susei before and it was alright not a big fan of fish or seafood though) "Denied," Celestia said as the court turned to her. "W-w-what! Why?!" The lord who proposed the subjection looked at her in horror. "Because that dish was surved on my wishes and is called Susei its a dish from Japony and its a delicacy so your offer is denied," Celesita said as the lord scoffed before sitting down. "Now then with that out of the way I declare this meeting dismissed," Tapping her malet the lords and ladies rose and began to walk out of the throne room as Celestia moved down her throne as she noticed Tao and Alexander. "What are you two doing here?" Celesita asked to which Tao and Alexander greeted bowed her as they rose. "We are just watching the day court is all dearest princess," Tao said as Alexander nodded. "Well I guess that is alright now then how about we have a chat over some te-" "AUNTIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" "Dear mother," Celestia said as the two spoke. "What is it?" "Him," She said as a pair of footsteps walked ove to them to a king robed wearing pony who walked over to them with a pair of blue eyes, white coat, and a blonde mane who wore a very expressive suit that came over to the princess celestia. "Auntie why aren't you going to follow though with the lord ivans offear the cold fish roll was distasteful!" The pony said as Alexander spoke. "Who is this?" Alexander asked crossing his arms. "This is my nephew prince blue blood," Celestia said pointing to him as the two turned to him. "And who in the name of my auntie are you suppose to be?" Blueblood asked eyeing Tao. Tao and Alexander bowed (not out of respect) to blueblood. "I am Tao priestess of the dragon of light temple and this is my guardian Alexander," Tao said holding out to Alexander as Blueblood placed a hand on his chin. "Well tao tell me for a priestess how come your so appealing to the eyes for a vixen?" Blue said as Alexander gritted his teeth as Tao looked at the prince. "Well... I..." "Why don't you come with me and we can talk more in my private chambers?" Blueblood said with a smile holding out his hands as Alexander fought the urge to grab his blade and cut off the prince's hand right then and there. "I'm sorry my prince but I must refuse your offer for I am still have duties to attend to," Tao said as Blueblood scoffed. "Surely they can wait after all its not like a chance for a vixen like yourself to meet such a pony like me before," Blood said as Tao shook her head. "Sorry I can't not and its my duty as a priestess to the dragon of light to follow all my duties," She said as blueblood growled. "Fine then I command you to come with me," Blueblood said as he reached out for Tao but Alexander came in between him and her as he looked down at the prince with his own glowing blue eyes. "She. Said. No," Alexander said with a growl as blue looked up at him. "This is not your consiren beast move aside," Blueblood said as Alexander looked to him. "No," "I command you to move aside!" Blueblood said as Alexander crossed his arms. "No," "Guards! Take this fool to the dungeon for disobey a order from a high lord!" Blueblood said as the guards around to him as they looked to alexander who placed a hand on his blade's hilt. The guards didn't move at this as blueblood shouted. "GUARDS! TAKE HIM!" He said this caused Celestia to step in. "Nephew must I tell you Alexander here is Tao's guardian and he is under your command he is under the command of Tao," Celestia said as blueblood turned to her. "What?! Auntie surely you've told me Alexander has been a threat for some time and now that he is disobeying a order you turn your head not to throw him away?!" Blueblood said as Celestia spoke. "That is enough blueblood go to your chambers," Celestia said as Blueblood scoffed. "Fine *Turns to Alexander* I'm not done here," "Yes you are," Alexander said as Tao smirked behind her red guardian. With that blueblood marched off in a rage as Celestia sighed. "Forgive me Tao Blueblood can't take no for a answer," Celestia said as tao smiled. "Its fine the fool can wait a thousand years and my answer will still be no," She said as Alexander laughed. "If he can even live that long," He said as Tao turned him. "Thanks for standing up for me Alex," She said as he turned to her with a nod. "It was my pleasure mistress," He said as Tao raised her long sleeve over her mouth to hide her smile. Celestia huffed as she spoke. "Well now if you two excuses me I have my own duties to attend to," Celestia said as she walked off with her guards leaving the two alone in the throne room. "Huff...How about it Alexander why don't return to our duties as well my guardian?" She asked to which he nodded. "I would like that," He said as the two walked back to there room. (Nighttime) *KNOCK KNOCK!* Looking up from his book from the couch the armored marine as he turned to the bed to see Tao sound asleep as he creeped over to the door before opening it slightly. A guard peaked in as Alexander crossed his arms... "What is it? Tao is sound asleep," Alexander said as the guard spoke. "Princess luna wishes to meet with you in the garden Alexander," He said as he looked at the guard. "Now?" "Yes its best not to keep the princess waiting," He said as Alexander turned to a sleeping Tao and nodded. "Very well I will come," He said as he walked out the door before turning it and locking the door. "Lead the way," As the guard lead the large space marine sometime felt... off, and not in a good way as Alexander began to wounder what did the princess of the night wanted to do with the him the protector of the priestess and at such a hour? Questions on Questions buzzed though the mind that was once a mortal of the human world before becoming a space marine. As he followed the guard into the garden they stopped in front of the hedge maze. "Why are we stopping?" Alexander asked to which the guard said not a word as he turned to him. "Alien scum!" The guard then pulled his blade and ran at the Tau marine who dodged him before hitting the guard on the back of the neck knocking him out. As the guard drop to the ground as the tau marine turned around him, surrounding him where more guards armed with weapons ready to kill but the marine was faster as they came at him. Pulling out his energy blade he defend himself as he cut through the weapons turning the spears, swords, and dangers into scrap before moving in and using the back of his blade to knock out the guards. Looking down at the guards the tau marine spoke: "Celestia," That when it hit him. "TAO!" He ran though the garden back into the caslte as he ran though the halls and before running into Celestia herself as she wore a bath robe as she held a mug. Stopping in his tracks Alexander held his blade at the ready as Celestia looked at him. "Bold move Celestia..." Alexander said as Celestia turned to him surprised. "Alexander? What are you doing?" She asked as he spoke. "Don't play dumb with me sun witch the assassins? Surely you must understand a few ponies match up to me," Alexander said as Celestia looked at him. "What are you talking about?" She asked as he raised his brow before relaxing. "Did you- Wait Tao!" That was when it hit him as he began to run froward, Celestia turned to him and leaped into the air flying to catch up to him. "What this about Alexander?" She asked the marine. "If you weren't the one to try and kill me someone else is if that is the case they are after Tao as well," Alexander said as Celestia looked at him before looking forward. "Fine but don't think I will forget this," Celestia said as they made it to his and Tao's room. Opening the door the tau marine's eyes widen... Tao was missing! "Wheres Tao?" Celestia asked to which the tau marine ran into the room looking around. Bathroom was empty! His mind began to work over time as he began to think who would have came and kidnapped Tao...then boom! there it was, grabbing Celesta by the bath robe he spoke. "Where is blueblood's room!" He shouted as she looked at him. "Blueblood what does he have to do with this?" She asked to which he spoke. "WHERE!" "Down the hall with a blue door why do you-" Letting celestia was dropped as the marine ran forward as he spoke. 'I hope I'm not too late! I hope I'm not too late! I hope I'm not too late! I hope I'm not too late! I hope I'm not too late!' Turning the corner he saw it two guards in front of a blue door as the first guard saw him he warned the other as the marine walked over to the door with his blade. The guards walked up to him and spoke: "Sir your not welcome here please turn around and-" throwing the guard aside as the other guard watched his buddy being thrown aside like a doll making him look up at the marine who panted in anger. The guard dropped his spear and ran as the tau marine walked to the door and raised his boot in the air before kicking the door in as the fancy door was turned into little more than fragments of its former glory. There on the bed of the room was Blueblood naked pushing a tied up nude Tao into the bed as she had a ball gag in her mouth as Blueblood was inches away from her privates. "BLUEBLOOOOOOOOOOOOD!" In a mere second Alexander grabbed blueblood by the nap of his neck and threw him into a dresser. "Tao!" Sheathing his sword he ripped the ropes off her as she cried as he removed the ball gag from her mouth. "ALEX!" She held onto his chest plate as he warpped her in his black cloak to cover her nude form as Celetia came in with a company of guards. "Alexander what is going on?!" Celestia shouted as the tau marine pointed to her. "YOU NEPHEW WAS GOING TO RAPE MY MISTRESS!" Alexander shouted though his vox in anger as he pointed to blueblood who stood there naked as he got up. "G-G-G-GUARDS ARREST THIS MONSTER!" Blueblood shouted as he pointed to the marine as he turned with Tao in his arms crying. Celestia looked between Alexander and Tao to Blueblood before speaking. "Guards arrest Alexander," Celestia said as Alex stepped back. "What?!" Blueblood smirked as the guards approanced him. Alexander with one arm equipped his fusion blaster as he pointed at the guards as it began to charge. "STOP!" A all to familiar voice said. All turned to Luna who was with her night guard who walked up forward as Celestia spoke. "Sister go back to the throne room this doesn't consiren you-" Celestia was then slapped by her sister as she fell to the ground. "That is enough sister guards! Arrest Blueblood," Luna said as the lunar guard nodded and began to match forward. "Solar guard stand down," The solar guard stopped at the bat ponies walked in and grabbed blueblood. "Get your hands off me! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!" Blueblood shouted. "Take him to the dungeon," Luna said as she turned to Celestia who rubbed her cheek and turned to the guard. "Relay that order arrest Alexander?" "ON WHAT SISTER? FOR DEFENDING TAO?! NO SISTER! SOLAR GUARD STAND DOWN!" Luna shouted in the royal voice. "But-" "NO BUTS SISTER! YOU ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING AGAINST ALEX AND ALWAYS DEFEND BLUEBLOOD! NOT TODAY BLOOD IS GOING TO GET HIS LONG AWATED PUNSIHMENT AND SO ARE YOU!" Luna grabbed Celestia by the robes. "I'm done bitting my tongue and tonight will not be one of those nights where I stay behind and have you throw away another well being!" Luna said holding up the sun princess. "Alexander get tao out of here," Alex nodded as he moved forward as the solar guard moved aside as he pasted Luna and Celestia. "Luna...I won't forget this," Alexander said as Luna nodded. "This day was one coming," She said holding her sister. Nodding he past by her as the elements came up. "Alex! Tao what happened?" Spike asked to which Alexander spoke. "Ask Celestia," He said as he walked with a crying Tao in his arms. (Tao's and Alexander's Bathroom) Setting Tao in the tub as he turned on the hot water as it filled the tub he moved his cloak off of Tao as she cried int his black armored arms as he held her close. "Shhhhhhhh I got you Tao everything is alright," He said as she sniffed as she broke the hug as she looked at him. "B-b-b-b-b-blueblood," She said as he nodded as he placed a hand on her cheek. "I know," He said as her black eyes held tears in them. "I shouldn't have left you," "H-h-h-h-h-he-" "I know I know I know," Tao held onto Alexander for dear life. "I will never leave you like that again," He said as she sniffed. "P-p-p-p-please," he said as she stayed in the tub for what felt like a good few minutes. After that the two broke apart as Alex had his back to the tub as Tao stayed in the hot water to feel better as she washed off her body. She turned her head to Alex who held his blade in his lap staring at the door ready for a fight as the two stayed there for a few moments before Tao got up and got wrapped up in a towel as she got out of the tub. "Alex...Can you take me to bed?" She asked as he nodded. Not turning his head he opened the door as he lead her to bed as she sniffed. Drying off and getting into new sleep where she got into bed as he sat on the floor looking at her as she looked at him. "Alex..." "Yes mistress," "Please don't leave me again," She said as he nodded. "I will never dream of it," He said. She reached out and grabbed his hand. "Can I see you face?" She asked as he looked at her before nodding. Removing his helmet he turned to her as she looked into his eyes. "Promise me you will never leave my side," She said as he nodded. "I promise," He told her as she grabbed his cheek. The two stared into one another eyes as she leaned forward. As the two never broke eye contact the two's lips meet in the form of a kiss as they held each others face. Never giving the other up for in fear of losing the other. Breaking the kiss Tao gently held Alex's head and moved him in close to her as she hugged his head as he held her hand as she cried to herself. His head laying on the bed with her arms around him she baried her head into his 'hair' as she cried herself to sleep as he growled. This wasn't going to be a day he would forget, no this day will be one that he will remember for the rest of his life, blueblood would pay for this and he will pay in blood. For if he isn't a protector that can defend Tao? Than what is he? > Part 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Many days of recovery later) After the events of the attempted Rape, the country of Japony was contacted informing Armu of what happened to which the head priestess and a good segment of the temple arrived at Cantorlot for a trial of Blueblood for his crime. Though Celestia played saying that Blueblood was 'acting on instinct' but all knew that she was making up excuses to not have a member of royal blood put on trial. Currently, Luna has taken temporary control of the entire kingdom due to her sister actions that night so for the past few days, Princess Celestia has been just Celestia. Along with this was the trial data, Luna wishes Tao to be there on the data but due to the trauma she had face she would take some time to recover and until then the royal pain blueblood will be locked away till she is ready. Speaking of which Tao has refused to come out of her room and will not leave the side of Alexander who does the same to refuse leaving Tao alone for more than a few seconds. His trips to the library have been halted as he will stay by the side of Tao not wanting to leave her in a position to leave her again as its rumored that he doesn't sleep at night to defend his mistress. A true knight of old tales... Many days have pasted from that night but not many enough to make a mouth just enough for some time to past, now the trial will be set on today for Tao has recovered enough to stand at the trial and report what happened that night. Luna has gathered her sister and the elements to be on trial as the grand judge an incorruptible being from the Japony kingdom will be the head of the trial along with a jury of non-ponies so that the xenophobia and short minds of the ponies would be taken in bluebloods defense. Speaking of Blueblood has been cut off from the outside world so he won't bride anyone to buy his way out of this trial the only one he spoke with is his lawyer which is the most expensive that money can buy due to him being of royal blood. But if he were to win the case? There will be war... To which Luna doesn't want that to happen no matter what Celestia says about Japony, Japony isn't just a major trading partner of Equestria they have grown over the days that past recovering there military along with there many allies that surround Equestria so going to war with them is not a smart move. (Royal court hall) "All rise for judge Miles," All in the courtroom. Miles a two two-tail fox walked to the stand as he got on to his chair and spoke. "All be seated," Miles said as he held his beard in his black robes. The night guard spoke up. "The trial of Japony and the ponies of Equestria vs Prince blueblood may now begin," The guard said as he stood down. Tao sat close to Armu and Alexander as the priest guard surrounded them in the chairs behind the offense as the royal family and the elements sat behind blueblood. Tao whore a black robes as she held a fan up covering her face as she secretly held Alexander's hand as his own black cloak covered the gesture. "Will the defense please stand," Judge Miles said as the defender stood up. "Your honor this is simply a misunderstanding see my client would never attempt to rape Priestess Tao for he and Tao were currently having simple legal intercourse," He said before pointing to Alexander. "Until that brute came in and assaulted my client!" "Objection!" "On what terms," "False accusations," "Very well you have the floor Accuser," Judge miles said as the cat Abyssinian Blu stood up adjusting his tie. "I have proof that what defender Lawbook is lying your honor," Blu said as he held up a plastic bag. "The moment Mr. Alexander found Blueblood attempting to rape Ms. Tao these were wrapped around her along with this placed in her mouth," He then handed the bags to the guard which handed them to the judge who looked at them before turning to the defense. "Mind explaining this?" "Simply your honor this is simple BDSM and my client informs me miss Tao is such a being to enjoy being tied and gagged during intercourse," Lawbook said as he smiled. "While she was crying?" "I'm sorry?" "If you must know Miss Tao was crying and begging Blueblood to stop but he continued anyways in the act against her will to proceed to rape Ms. Tao with little concern on her behalf my the Jury take note that Prince blueblood is a known sex offender," Blu said as he pulled out a large pile of flies. "These are the charges of rape that many maids and other females reported of Blueblood raping them but they where silence due to Princess Celestia trying to keep them quiet with gold and foal support in raising blueblood's children," "Objection: this isn't true," "Overruled let me see those," Judge miles said as was handed a small handful of files as he opened one of them before the next and the next and the next and the next till he closed the files. "I've seen enough will these given to the jury?" "Yes your honor," Blu told Miles who gave the files to the jury as they looked at them as they began to read through them as lawbook began to sweat. "Do something you idiot," Blueblood whispered. "Your honor-" Miles held out his hand. "I think the has been enough said will the jury please step away to determine the fate of Prince blueblood?" The jury nods as they stand up as they walk away. Tao waved her fan as she looked up to her protector. "Alex?" He turned to her as he rubbed her hand. "Yeah?" "I hope I get to make blueblood pay for this myself," She said as he nodded. "I hope I can join you in that," (About 30 minutes later) "Mr. Fourman, what is does the jury find a verdict to Princeblood?" Miles asked as they nodded. The Fourman rises as he speaks. "We have your honor," "What have you found Prince blueblood of?" "Guilty of rape and attempted rape of Tao your honor," "Prince blueblood because of your actions I sentence you to a life sentence to the pit you will be shipped out tomorrow court dismissed," Making it final nail into the coffin Judge miles slammed down his malit. "WHAT! YOU CAN'T DO THIS DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" Blueblood shouted as he was grabbed by two luna guards. "I AM PRINCE BLUEBLOOD AND I COMMAND YOU TO LET ME GO!" No one said a word as he was taken away as the groups got up as all began to go there spent ways until Celestia walked over to the judge. "Your honor surely you throw blueblood in an Equestrian prison and not a Japony one," She said as he shook his head. "No you 'highness' he assaulted a priestess of the light dragon and so he must be punished as such," "But a life sentence?!" Celestia said as he nodded. "It is the price he will face for his crimes," With that Miles walked away as Armu was speaking with Luna. "Luna I must ask you for a slight favor," Armu asked. "What is that high priestess?" Luna asked. "Can Tao and Alex here pay a 'visit' to blueblood before tomorrow?" She asks as which Luna looks at them for a moment before smiling catching there drift. "Of course take all the time that you need," Luna said as she goes in for whisper. "I even have my ponies give them toys to play with too," Armu breaks away as she nods. "Thank you," She said as she turns to the two. "It's ready for you two," Prince blueblood was in his cell chained to the wall as he sighed. "Blueblood you have a visitor," Blueblood looks up and gasps. "Auntie you have come to save me?" He said with a smile but it turns upside down when he sees the two figures enter his cell. "What do you want?" Tao walked over to one side of the cell as she picks up one of the metal tools off of it. "In one word No-balls?" Alexander said as he grabbed blueblood by the neck as Tao walks over with a small knife. "Payback," Tao said as his pants were ripped off as Blueblood struggled to fight back. "GUARD HELP ME THEY ARE GOING TO-" HE was muffled by a pick of cloth shoved in his mouth as Tao got down on her knees as she grabbed his balls. Then the screaming began as she began to cut into them... > Part 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well we are off back to Japony are you sure you wish to stay Tao even after all that has happened?" Armu asked the priestess who smiled and nodded. "Yes this place is quite interesting from what I seen I wish to see more of it before returning to the temple and maybe...*Leans forward* I can find something I been wanting for a while now," Tao said with a smile as Armu shakes her head with a smile of her own. Alexander was currently not paying attention to the two as he watched a blueblood strapped onto a stretcher been moved into the cargo cart as he was masked and blindfolded. Smiling behind his helmet he turned to his side as he feels a hand snap into his own as turned to see Tao looking up at her protector. "You know something Alex ever since we meet you always been wearing that armor except that one time how about we go for a swim in the pool?" Tao asked to which Alex looked at her. "Are you sure that is what you want?" She nodded. "You can handle yourself without your armor and you've taught me so much in the art of combat alongside my own training," She said as he smiles before nodding. "Alright I can go for a dip," He said as she smiled. "Wonderful!" She said as she began to lead the large being back to there room. Tao smiled as she had her paws in the water as she had her eyes closed feeling the sun on her fur as a pair of footsteps came to her as she opened her eyes and turned to them. "Oh hello, Luna how are you this fine day?" Tao asked as Luna smiled taking a seat next to Tao and spoke. "Nothing much just taking a break from both the day and night courts when I heard that you and Alexander decide to go for a swim I decided to join you?" Luna asked with a towel in hand. "No I don't mind," She said as Luna looked at her. "Where's Your guardian?" Luna asked to which Tao smiled as she pointed to the middle of the pool where Luna looked in the crystal clear blue water to see a dark figure in the middle of the pool sitting at the bottom. "Is he-" "Yes training his body," "How long has he been down there?" Luna asked. "About 30 minutes," Luna's jaw dropped as she turned back to the pool to see the dark fur figure of Alexander in it as she was in total shock from what she heard. "Wow amazing our record of holding their breath without magic is one of the solar guard who can only go for ten minutes looks like Alexander is beating it by a landslide," Luna said as she held the side of her head. That was when they heard another voice. "Aunt!" Luna turned with a smile to see princess cadence coming forward with little Flurry heart and shining armor who all were in there swing suits to go for a dip in the water. "Cadance!" Luna shouted getting up from her seat and turning to hug her niece as she broke it. "What brings you here?" "Its actually a funny story to say the least when I was taking care of little Flurry here something happened to the crystal heart causing it to pulse and turn red about a few weeks ago before going back to blue and shined even brighter than before going back to normal I don't know why but something told me to come here," Cadance said as Luna looked at her niece. "I was there too it was quite strange it was like something bad happened," Shining armor said as he turned to see Tao as he blushed at the sight of the black japonyese style swimsuit on the vixen. "Who is that?" "This?" Luna held out a hand to Tao. "This is Tao of the light dragon temple she here to spread the word of the dragon of light alongside her guardian Alexander," "It's nice to meet you, Tao," Shining said taking her hand and kissing it causing. "And the same goes to you I heard good things about you Prince shining armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza," Tao said as she bowed down as they smiled. "Please call me Cadance dear Tao," "Gaa!" Flurry said as she saw Tao smiling as Tao giggled as she bent down to see Flurry heart in Cadences arms. "Oh how can I forget the young Flurry," She said as she held her finger out to Flurry who grabbed it and smiled. 'Wow she is great with her,' Luna and Cadance thought. "I've seen many different babies being blessed at the temple every so often and sometimes we Priestess have to care of the children of those who had past," Tao said as she rose up as Flurry groaned. "Really you must take care of a lot of children," Luna said as they began to walk over to the chairs as shining put down the swim bag (who was eyeing Tao's rear). "Yes but you get to use to taking care of the little ones after a while but still it's quite a pain to take care of the naughty ones," She said as Luna smiled. "So do you have any children of your own?" Cadance asked as Tao blushed before speaking. "No no I don't and I won't be able to have any," Tao said sadly. "What do you mean?" Candace asked. "I'm infertile..." "My goddess I'm so sorry," Cadance said as Luna nodded. "Its fine nothing about its wrong it's just way things are," Tao said with a smile and her hands out. "Well, where is your protector anyway?" Cadance asked as Tao smiled turning to the water. "Down in the water," She said as Cadance looked into the saw the dark figure of the warbeast below in it. "Wow, how long has he been down there for?" "About 35 minutes," Tao said as Cadance 'oooh'. "Pfft big deal I can hold my breath for 40 minutes," Shining said as Cadance and the rest of the girls rolled their eyes. "Sure you can," They said as he spoke. "I can!" "Surrrrrrrrrre," Luna said as they sat down. "I can damnit!" Shining said as he sat down. "I can," "So how much longer do you think will he be down there?" Cadance asked. "I don't-" That was when the water broke as a wolf-like anthro jumped form it and onto the land as he landed on his feet the girls covered their eyes before looking up back to see the warbeast himself. Alexander was dripping wet as his gold eyes shined in the sunlight as his short fur dripped slightly with water as his build could be seen better now that he is as wet. His body is strongly built like a fortress that would make any woman want in a man as he seemed almost like a demi-god out of the heavens. The girls began nosebleed at the sight of the super-mutant as he held his head breathing normally as he spoke. "Forgive mistress but I couldn't help but hear we had company," Alex said as he looked to Tao who was holding her legs together tightly as she saw him as her mouth watered slightly. "I-i-i-i-i-its fine," She said as she whipped the blood away from her nose. "Are you alright my mistress your bleeding," He said as the vixen spoke. "Its nothing just a slight nose bleed," She said as the other girls covered themselves up. "Damn girl he's your guardian," Cadance whispered as Tao nodded with a smile as the tunks wearing beast man walked over to grab a towel and began to dry himself off. "You got to tell me how good is he in bed?" Tao blushed at Cadance whispered as she spoke. "What! Are you crazy we haven't done anything...yet and besides we only just very good friends right now and I don't want to rush things," Tao said as the two girls smiled at her. "Yeah don't want to rush things very original Tao comes on he calls you mistress and the way he looks at you. You two got something more than friendship Tao," Luna said as Tao blushed slightly. "That's...That's nothing," Tao said blushing deeper as Luna and Cadance looked at each other before Luna got an idea. "Fine if its nothing then I will ask him out on a date," Luna said as Tao's ear perked up. "NO! HE'S MINE!" Tao shouted as the two men turned there heads to the girls. "Who your Mistress?" Alexander asked as Tao lowered her head. "Nothing," "Yeah, nothing I going to ask him," Luna said standing up. "You won't dare," She said as Luna spoke. "Oh I will," "Don't I'm warning you," Tao growled. "Ok I won't unless you kiss him," She said as Tao blushed madly. "K-k-k-kiss him?" She asked as the two nodded. "Do it or I will ask him out," Tao blushed before holding her head. "10," "Alright alright I'll do it," Tao said as she got up from her chair as she walked over to Alexander who was taking a drink of water. "Mistress what seems to be the man-" before he could finish Tao tackled him onto the chair and kissed him on the lips as the gold orbs of Alex's eyes widen before closing as he wrapped his arms around his mistress and kissed back. "Wow she really did it," Luna said as Cadance nodded as she held Flurry covering her eyes. "Yeah and- oh looks like they are really going at it," Cadance said as the two deepened there kiss as the two k9s began to love each other even more. "Oh boy best I take them back to there room," Luna said with a smile her horned glowed blue before teleporting the two to there room. "Think she'll do it?" "She will," As the two fell onto Tao's bed, Alexander broke the kiss and looked around. "Seems like the princess took us back to your room Mistress," "Shut up and come here," She grabbed his face as she kissed him again as he returned the favor. As the two kissed Tao broke the kiss as she moved her hands behind her as she began to unhook her bra as she blushed madly. "Tao... Are you sure you want to do this with me?" He asked to which she nodded. "Your the only one I trust in doing so," She said as he smiled. "That means a lot to me, Mis-" *Achoo!* The turn turns there head to the area where Alexander's armor was as Alex got up and spoke. "WHO THE FUCK IS THERE!" He boomed as he got up from the bed as Tao reclipped her bra. "No one?" A familiar voice said from behind the couch. Walking over to it and pushing it aside the large giant looked down at the intruders. "TWILIGHT!" "Um...hi there big guy though you two where swimming," She said as Alex narrowed his eyes. "Why are you here," He asked seeing that she was wearing all black tactical suit and had a black bag. "Nothing..." "Give me that," He told the bag away from Twilight. "Wait no!" Before she could reach to him a knife was shot at her hitting itself into the wall as she gasped, turning to the attacker she saw a furious Tao with her hand out. "You are in so MUCH trouble," Tao said as she stormed over to her protector. Opening the bag he empty the bag onto the floor as tools and other supplies fell onto the floor along with pictures and a notebook. "You were trying to open my armor weren't you?" Alex asked as twilight smiled nervously. "No I would do no such thing," She said as he grabbed a broken drill. "That's for something else," "GUARDS!" Tao shouted as the doors to the room as two of the temple guard came in (that stayed behind due to the blueblood action). "Take her to luna and tell her she was trying to steal alexander's technology without him knowing," Tao said as they nodded taking twilight by the arms and dragging her away. "YOU HAVE THE WRONG IDE-!" The door was shut by Tao as she huffed walking over to the bed and sitting down. "The nerve!" Tao said as Alexander walked over to the bed and sat down. "Hey it's alright," He said grabbing her in his arms as she placed her head on his arms. "I wanted to show how much I loved you, Alex," She said as Alex's heart(s) skipped a beat. "Wait you love me?" He asked breaking the hug. "Yes...do you?" "I do...I do so much," He said as he grabbed her. "So much so that I would make the world stop to show you how much I loved you," He said as she smiled. "Your so sweet," Tao said as she closed her eyes. "Since the mood is ruined do you mind if we stay like this for a while?" Dropping his head into her 'hair'. "I don't mind," With that, the two dropped on the bed as the held one another until they fell asleep there tails warping around one another like a belt. > Part 8 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna held the bridge of her nose as she stood before twilight sparkle who held her head down before the princess of the moon. "Why do I even have to say this twilight but... You know better than to steal!" Luna said as Twilight looked up. "But I-" "Twilight we almost went to WAR when blueblood tried to rape Tao and my sister tried to imprison Alexander! Now you go around not a week after the trial and try to steal from Alex? What were you thinking tensions are now at a all-time high Japony has fully recovered and are about to go to war with us! They are a major trading partner to the kingdom! The only reason they haven't gone to war is three things one I'm good friends with Armu, two Celestia was forced to step down from her throne leaving me fully in charge, and three giving blueblood over to the pit... Do you want to end up with blueblood in the pit?" Luna asked twilight who looked up. "No, but-" "NO! BUTS! You are not my student you are Celestia's look twilight I'm grateful that you saved me from nightmare moons grasp but what you doing is wrong! This is a war we are freaking talking about! Do you want thousands to die all because of your mistake? DO YOU!" Luna yelled almost using the royal voice. "No my intentions though-" "I don't care twilight sparkle! Alex said no and when no is said it means you can't touch his gear! I don't see how you don't understand it! This is an easy rule to follow and yet you went around and broke it while we were at the pool if it wasn't for Cadance getting the two together you could have started a war!" Luna shouted. "IF I HAD TAKEN HIS TECHNOLOGY WE WOULD BE MORE ADVANCE TO WIN THAT WAR!" Twilight yelled as she glared at Luna who looked down at Twilight in disgust. "What did you say?" "If we had the technology that he has I can reverse-engineer it and give that technology to our troops to make them twice as powerful as they are now! Why can't you see a single soldier can become like alexander and think of an army we would have of thousand of Alexander's? We would be unstoppable!" Twilight said as Luna crossed her arms under her breasts as she scowled. "And what if an enemy would get that technology?" "Huh?" "Say what if the caribou a know sex slave state got their hands on that technology what would they do with it? They would use it on us turning us into slaves for there pleasure though we are currently allies my sister and I know their motive they want a male superior government with women being only sex toys. Now think on that," Luna said as Twilight stared at her. "If we had had that technology we would become an unstoppable force and destroy the caribou before they use our weapons against us," This caused luna to sigh. "You're a lost cause... Guards," The two guards on the entrance to the room stepped forward. "Please escort Former princess Twilight to the dungeon until I figure out what to do with her," Luna said as the two guards nodded as Twilight gave a shocked look. "Wha- Why?!" "Twilight your smart figure it out," Luna said turning her back on her as she looked at the window. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Luna stared at the window. "Guards please," with that the guards took the 'former' princess of friendship away. "Mother help me," Laying on the bed in their clothes Alex and Tao held one another as alexander gently stroked the fur of his love who rested her head on his chest hearing the beating hearts of the space marine as he looked up at the ceiling. "Hey, Luv?" Alex spoke as Tao raised her head. "Hm?" "Isn't there some law holding you accountable for loving someone like me? Aren't priestess restrained by some kind of code?" He asked as she smiled as she raised her head. "We are but that code doesn't mention loving a champion of the dragon of light and besides I think Armu would understand since she did see us holding hands during the trial," Tao said as she rose up on top of alexander as she placed her hands on his chest of the nerve suit. "She even gave me something for something special for me to show you later," "Oh?" "But its a surprise after all I want it to be special for you alexander," She said as he smiled. "I love surprises," Alex said as he placed his hands on her hips as she looked down at him with a loving look. "I'm glad the dragon gave you to me as a guardian for if I didn't I would be alone in my dorm right about now," She said as he lifted himself up kissing her on the lips as he held her in his arms. "I won't have that happen again," Alex said to Tao who wrapped her arms around the back of his neck. "Thanks, wolfie," She said kissing him as he kissed back. The two's tongue began to wrap around one another as the wolf and the vixen held one another in their arms as the broke the kiss as a trail of saliva came apart of the kiss. "I love you but I don't think that nickname will stick," He said to her as she smiled at him. "Aw you don't like it but I do," She said as he smiled before throwing her over on the bed clenching himself over her. "How about this if you don't give me a nickname I'll give you a little surprise," He said as she looked at him as he smiled down at her with a blush. "What kind of surprise?" She asked as he smiled. "No nickname first," He said as she smiled. "Alright I'll think about it," Tao said as he smiled. "Good enough for me," Alex said. "What's my reward?" "I'll give it to you," Moving down the kissed her neck as he snaked his way down to the end of her robe causing her to blush. "What are you-" (Lime start) Before she could say anything she felt her panties being moved aside with her pants as she felt the breath of her lover on her pussy. She jolted a bit as she felt his and on her bare thighs as she moaned slightly as she placed her hand on the back on his head as she felt him gently move her lower lips with his fingers as he took in her sent. Tao blushed as she rubbed the back of her lover's head as she looked into his golden eyes as she did the same with her blue ones both black eyes locked together. That was when the first lick came in... She gasped as she broke eye contact with Alex as he smiled making her shake as he licked her pussy again this time some of her juices of pre came out as the taste of berries entered his mouth. Moving her legs to behind his neck he began to lick some more as she moaned in pleasure as she closed her eyes as he went on to please her. "Alex... If... this... *moan* your... surprise... I... *moan* might... have... to... *Grunt* improve... on... mine..." She panted with her tongue out as she opened her eyes as she looked at him as he smiled as he licked her pussy some more. Looking at her as she moaned made him began to harden but due to the tightness of the nerve suit it began to hurt slightly but he still went on after all pain was nothing to him as long as his mistress got the pleasure she deserves. Placing a finger on either end of her lip he began to go in, this caused her to bit her lip as he entered her as she held the fur of the back on his head tighter. Seeing like this made him rub her clit with his thumb as he went on as his tongue brushed her sweet stop over and over again as she rocked her legs as if he was thrusting in her with his dick but still his long tongue licked her love tunnel over an over again driving her crazy. "Keep... going... my... love," She said as she held her finger in her mouth gently biting on it. "Almost... there," He then finally broke through her tunnel into her inside as she gasped feeling wondering how long his tongue was! As she gasped she began to spaz out, shaking from the pleasure she screams out Alex's name as she tightens her lock on his head forcing his head deeper inside her as she came on his face. After a moment she released Alex from his hold as he rose up licking his lips with his tongue as he smiled down at her as he moved forward. "That was a good drink love," He said as she looked up at him blushing madly as her arms rested above her head as she panted. Placing a hand on her cheek he kissed her with her mouth open as he gave her a taste of her own love before parting as she placed a hand on his chest. "Thank you," Tao told him as he placed a hand on her cheek rubbing it. "I hope you enjoyed it, love," Tao smiled as she looked at him. "I did... every second of it," She then smiled. "Now how about I return the favor," She asked as he looked at her. "If that is your wish mistress," He told her as he nibbled her neck. With that, she was now on top of him as she began to fiddle with his nerve suit leaving the space marine warbeast nude on the bed but his dick red and ready. Tao blushed at the size of him as she licked her lips before gently licking the sharp-looking tip, the diamond-hard penis that could easily break her in half if she wasn't careful. (End) Before she could take the meat into her mouth the door to there room was shot open. "How are my most favorite couple!" A familiar pink pony asked as she entered the room. "CADANCE!" Tao shouted covering up her lover with her robes. "What I was- Oh... am I interrupting something?" "GET OUT!" "I just want to know real quick how good is he-" "GET THE FUCK OUT!" > Part 9 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The warbeast sat on the bed as he inspected his wargear making sure that Twilight didn't damage the plasma-infused alloy, lucky Twilight didn't even scratch the paint as everything was it should be. Holding his helmet he turned his head to see Tao asleep on the bed as she groaned slightly as she couldn't feel the warmth of the space marine as he moved his hand to her cheek and kissed her forehead. "Wake up Luv it's morning," He said as Tao opened the blue eyes of hers that he loved. Groaning again she held his hand as she looked at him. "Come back to bed... want to cuddle some more," She said as he sighed. "As you wish mistress," Alexander responded. Placing his helmet down he moved and got under the sheets as he grabbed her moving in close as she smiled before digging her head into his chest fur as her tail wagged excitedly. The two laid there for a good few moments as Tao returned to sleep as her lover held her close to his body never daring to let go as it seemed like the two would remain like this forever. "HEYYYYYYO!" Moment ruined. Cadance came in once again even after Alex locked the door the night before, this is getting bloody annoying can't she see that these two were having a golden moment? "Damn it," Tao said still buried in his chest fur before moving her head to see Cadance smiling at the two. "Ahhhhhh Shining and I used to cuddle like that before Flurry was born... we still do but not as much," She said as Tao threw a pillow at her which hit her dead on. "Ow hey want was that for?" "SECOND FUCKING TIME CADANCE CAN'T ALEX AND I BE ALONE FOR FIVE MINUTES!" Tao shouted as Cadance rolled her eyes. "Oh come on now you two have been with each other all night and the morning! You two skipped breakfast and your about to skip lunch too? Come now you guys can't stay in bed all day," Cadance said as Tao turned to her. "Watch us," Cadance sighed as her horn glowed as the sheets were pulled off showing off the two in their sleepwear as she eyed Alexander's body. "Ohhhhh damn that body gets me every time," She said as Tao growled. "GET OUT!" Tao shouted as Cadance held out her hands. "Alright alright, you two get dressed and get out for some lunch alright? Please don't go back to bed so I have to wake you up," She said as Tao shouted again. "GET THE FUCK OUT!" Cadance did so as she left the two Tao sighed as Alex placed his head on her shoulder as she rested her head next to his. "You do need to eat," He said as she looked at him. "But I love this... and-" "I know you do but we need to move and get ready for the day," He said as he picked her up in his arms like a princess as she yipped before smiling as she held his neck in her arms. "I'm glad I was given a guardian such as you," She said as he smiled kissing her on the lips before setting her down. "Come on let's get dressed," Alex said as she did so while he got his armor on. Tao walked forward as the guardian that had her heart walked alongside her as the red-clad armor he didn't make a sound as he moved forward. The priestess and the former blood raven entered the main hall as the two entered they heard shouting as Luna was being screamed at by many nobles and ladies. "WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT?! CROWN YOURSELF QUEEN?!" A lord shouted as he had enough with Luna's current actions. "Lord sliver what I do is for the betterment of our home," Luna explained. "Oh please!" A lady of the court spoke. "Betterment of our home? What will Japony do 'your highness'? They are currently weak after the raid what threat do they pose to us? They are just most are Farmers, others are miners, and their leader's Zealots to a dead god," Luna narrowed her eyes. "I have to ask Lady Demin... do like having all the nice things you have?" Luna asked. "For if it wasn't for those Zealots we wouldn't have all the items we have today," "Oh please, how much of our trade do they have? 10%? NO! I beat you it's 5% our trades come from Japony," Lady Demin laughed as the lords and ladies laughed with her. "Try 65%," The night princesses spoke. "Call them 'old fashion' but they port out nearly everything we need to make what we have. The trees to build every equestrian's home come from the lumber from the tree yards that regrow overnight, the steel they used to create our weapons come from the rich veins of iron ore that is below the land of Japony, and finally, those Zealots grow the plants that are used to make our medicine," The lady snarled as Luna spoke before a lord shot up. "WE SHOULD TAKE JAPONY FOR EQUESTRIA!" A lord shouted. "It belongs to us! We should retake the Japony state! We were the ones who showed those savages what it means to be civil!" Luna narrowed her eyes. "Those creatures owe us for bring them out of their caves and-" "And what?" The lord froze upon hearing Tao's voice. "Please processed pretend my guardian and I aren't here," The lord then growled before shouting. "AND THIS THING! PRINCESS TWILIGHT HAD THE RIGHT IDEA WHY ARE WE DENIED THAT TECHNOLOGY HE HAS!? WE WOULD BECOME THE SINGLE GREATEST SUPERPOWER IN THE WORLD!" The lord pointed to Alexander who narrowed his eyes behind his white helmet. ... Tao then walked forward. "Well then. I see where the loyalty of Equestria lies," Tao explained as Luna felt her blood freeze as Tao turned to her. "Luna my friend you have been ever kind to us but it seems the court has spoken we are no longer wanted here because us 'savages' aren't welcomed here," The lord scoffed. "Then go back to your cave harlot! We never need your help!" The lord spat. "You're the whole reason why Celestia and blueblood are gone!" "RIVER RUSH YOU WILL-!" "I will what? Back away from a tyrant who is slowly taking over the kingdom?! Good Faust, we have heard enough from you! THE COURT CHALLENGES THE CROWN!" Luna went wide-eyed as Alexander then stepped forward. "Be careful boy," Alex said as he stood before River rush. "You are playing with fire," "And what are you going to do about it you runt?!" Rush jabbed his finger into the red chest plate of Alexander's Prototype Iridium power suit. "You going to show the world your true colors? Hmm? That what you're going to do? Assault an unarmed member of the court?" Alex then leaned down. "Worse boy," Rush felt a rush of the air coming from the lunar blade's helmet grill. "We'll not help you," Rising up the black eyes of his helmet flash blue for a moment before going back to Tao. "We are leaving," Her guardian told her as she nodded. "Agreed... Oh and River rush?" Tao spoke as the lord stared at her. "We 'savages' help feed and heal the settlers who came to our lands and taught them what you know today," Tao said as she turned and walked forward as Alexander followed suit. Tao huffed as they were back in the room as Tao finished packing the little belongings she brought with her in the case to which Alexander now held under his arm. "Well... that was one helluva morning," Tao stated. "Honestly wasn't expecting that to happen today," "Agreed I calculated that it would be another month before they would demand that Luna would step down from the throne," Alexander stated as Tao turned to him. "What?" "You predicted that was going to happen," Alexander nodded. "Why? You didn't?" Tao shook her head as she smiled slightly. "Were not all demi-gods Alex," She said placing her hand on his chest plate. "Still this isn't the way I wanted to leave Equestria but I'm glad we are heading to Japony... I been wanting to show you my homeland properly," "I would like that," Alexander stated as Tao looked up at him with a smile before she noticed something out the window. "Is that... smoke?" Tao walked to the window as Alexander followed and upon the two looking out the window they saw it. The cherry blossom was burning as a couple of guards walked away with empty oil cans. "Best we leave," Alexander stated as Tao nodded. When the two left their room they began to walk as they turned a corner they heard soldiers coming into the room. "Where are they?!" The two turned to where they came as Tao froze slightly. "Look for them Princess Celestia orders!" Placing Tao's Bag on his back he picked her up in his arms and began to run forward. "THERE THEY ARE!" "HALT IN THE NAME OF THE PRINCESS!" The guards ran after them but Alexander found a landing and ran out onto it before jumping off, the guards looked down before Alexander shot up with Tao still in his arms as they cursed before the captain shouted orders for the pegesi units to go after them. "This isn't what I imaged my first time taking you out into the skies like this love," Alexander told Tao as she held his helmet's side in her hand. "I don't mind it, Alex," The Asta'Vesa looked at her before looking forward. "But I have to ask... this is the right direction to Japony correct?"
