No really, Princess Celestia has a lot of sex. Really. Cadance's claims to the contrary are unfounded, wholly false, and her concern over the matter is entirely misplaced. There is absolutely no reason to continue discussing the matter. So let's just drop the subject completely and move on.

Please.

Rainbow Dash was the Iron Wing. She was a war hero, the Slayer of Shadows, the Liberator of the Crystal Empire, the Wrath of Celestia. And depending on who you ask, she still is.

But the war is over. There's little need for a pony like her in peacetime. So she keeps telling herself that she needs to adjust, that she needs to find a new role to fill in the world that she saved. But Equestria seems content to let her remain what she has become, even though they have no need of a warrior.

"This isn't how it's supposed to be", is something she keeps telling herself. But every time she says it, the only thing she can reply is, "so what should it be?"

One whole year after the close of the war, and Rainbow Dash still doesn't have the answer.

Warning: This is not a story. It's a giant fight scene. It was never really meant to be a story, though some parts may make you want to get to know the characters more. If you like fight scenes though, have fun.

Every morning, just a few hours after having breakfast, Ace Blade trains. Every evening, just a few hours before bed, she trains again.

Being one of the best guards in Equestria, she's allowed to use the more expensive equipment; she's allowed to wear lightweight armour, carry bladed wings with shock absorbers, and use anti-magic crystals on her enemies. She also gets access to the magical training grounds, and oh man is it great.

By the way, you're free to watch. Just don't get in her way.

Once a year, the Night Guards of Canterlot receive a very important shipment, much to the distress of their peers. Flash Sentry has no idea what the fuss is all about.
