Canterlot Castle, Central Equestria, The Solar Empire
Lunar Corps Briefing Chamber.
Princess Luna has called a meeting of the whole Lunar Corps.
At the end of the Ball, the soldiers notice that the moon has flashed with blue light, signaling that they need to report to their barracks for a meeting with Luna. As they all walked out, Celestia took notice of their sudden departure, and whispered something into her General's ear.
Shadow and the rest of the Lunar Corps gather into their barracks. As they gathered, the chatter grew louder, and stopped when Luna stepped onto a box, and let off a magical flare that lit the room up.
"Thank you for all coming. I have an announcement. The Lunar Corps are no longer part of the Solar Empire. We are now the soldiers of the rumored rebellion, and I shall take us to the base from which all orders of this rebellion are issued. The teleport will be direct, and the base has no windows, so that the location of the base can stay secretive. Only I know where the base is." With this, Luna's hands, and the ground around all of the soldiers glow with Luna's blue magic aura. Then with a flash of light, Luna and all of her soldiers disappeared at the same time Celestia and a large group of Solar Empire soldiers burst in, guns blazing, but the teleport had just finished.”
As Shadow looked around, he saw people that had the tribal markings of the Zebranoic Tribes, those with Draconic wings, as well as your everyday Equestrian. The corridors of the base were well-lit, and quite spacious, with many doors with labels, like A-115, Cafeteria A-S, and a few others.
Luna called off several names, four or five at a time. "... Shadow Fire, Lightfoot, Heavy Might and High Ordinance, step forward. Your designation is Alpha-Serria Bravo. Shadow Fire, you are the leader as Lieutenant Captain. Your rooms are in the AS 4 wing, and your assigned cafeteria is 12 B. Here is a map for each of you, showing the locations of your rooms." Luna handed them each a map of the base. On the maps were each person's respective room, with Shadow and Heavy's rooms on one side of the hall, and Lightfoot and High's rooms on the opposite side.
The newly formed squad made their way in to their rooms, and shared information on each other. The four hadn't really had too much of a chance to socialize back in Equestria, and hadn't bonded as much as they had with others.
Shadow shared his past as an OG of the Orange Drive Homiez, a gang based in Manehattan, Heavy and High were brothers, and Lightfoot hadn't given too much about himself. It appeared as if he were going to be the quiet one of the group.
The four each entered their rooms, and Shadow finds that all of his stuff that was supposedly left back in Canterlot was suddenly in his room here. Shadow was ecstatic over all of lost belongings appearing in this base. Among these things were a photo of the Orange Drive Homiez that was taken about 3 months before he became a soldier. A lot can happen in 3 months when you're in a gang, but fortunately, nothing big happened.
Another one of these items was his dad's watch, given to Shadow a week before he died. It was one of the last things his dad gave to him, and Shadow made sure that the punks that did it got a taste of their own medicine, and Shadow had tracked them down and killed them in a drive-by, which led to a war between the ODH and the gang that the punks were in, the Front Page Flya's.
After that, they looked at schedules on the rear of their maps, and they all said that lights out was in two hours. The newly formed Alpha-Serria Bravo perked up as an announcement came over the Base's loudspeaker, "All new arrivals are to report to the auditorium at once. Please check your maps for reference."
