//------------------------------// // Season Three Final: Chapter Thirty: The zebra Hero Savannah part two:Guaridan tribe: Zebra arc // Story: Project Harmony One. // by Megaskullmon //------------------------------// On the streets of the main core world of the zebras. The world is called Star umzingeli. Zebra for Star Hunter. Many zebras are either homeless or dying because of the law causing tribes and families to break apart. The leader of the zebras of these words changed these laws to make disharmony stronger.  The warriors of disharmony recruit the broken the dying and use them to turn them into warriors of disharmony and Glyph looks out at the streets of the palace. On his hooves is a cup of tea while he sips it. “As you can see Glyph. Your laws are working they’re weeding out the weak and old tribes that have done nothing but mooch of your leadership. The ones that will come out of this are the strong tribes. The only thing you need to do is try pushing these laws on the outer zebra worlds. Since Equus, the homeworld has gone dark. From what my friends say all the tribes of that world left.” Glyph turns his head to look at the unicorn. The unicorn that offered him the power to make the zebras the warriors they’re meant to be again. If it’s true though all the tribes of Equus the homeworld left. Then that means he can not take on caesar. He can not get true power he has to find this hidden world.  “Tell have your friends found a way to get into that world yet?” The unicorn shrugs his shoulders. “There is no way we will be able to unless we find a ship that came from there. Even then the stories I have heard great powerful magic guards this world. Those that seek it with a broken heart or pure heart can get to it. I don’t know what happened to Queen Twilight.” Glyph looks back to the window seeing a mare rushing into getting inside the palace. He lowers his tea looking back to the unicorn and the door. He shifts fully onto his hooves. He looks over to the unicorn again. “I have a feeling Mr. Gleamer that we will get some info come our way.” The mare screams outside the door. “I need to see Glyph. I got some information for him.” “No one can see Glyph he is in a meeting.” A guard sounds outside the door and Glyph opens the door with his mouth and he smiles at the mare. “Now now it seems she has something to tell me. So please let the darling one in.” The guard moves aside letting the very skinny mare in. The hunger in her eyes when she sees the food and the drinks. Glyph smirks seeing the hunger in the eyes of the poor mare. He chuckles and cuts into the fish.  “I got a deal for you miss tell me your info and you can eat all you want. Even take it to your family.” The mare looks to the table and sits at the table eating like she has never eaten a time in her life but she is very slow about it. “I am umshudo. My tribe is the Star seekers.” Glyph turns his head to stare at the mare. She is of the family of the caesar part of the tribe of Savannah of course she would have a great deal of news maybe even news to get onto new Celestia so he can lead his troops to it. “Then my dear Umshudo you must-have info on how to get to new Celestia” The mare lifts her head her full face is fully black from one big strip she has this large strip that makes her look fully black with little white spots in her fur. She smirks and drinks from the tea to ease her throat. “I got better Savannah has left new Celestia she is on her way to the tribe world Guardian. She will be there in a few days. I will if I am allowed to my leader is go meet her and lead her into a trap for you and any force you bring.” A large smile forms across Glyph’s face. The hero of the zebra on her own in one of the outer worlds? He can capture her and make an example to bring caesar out of hiding. If he can’t do that he can bring one of the elements of harmony to heel. “Should I ask my friends to help you Glyph?” Glyph laughs. “No need my dear friend Gleamer. This gift is wrapped just for me.” He laughs drinking his cup of tea finally getting the chance he wanted to break Savannah after she refused to marry him all those years ago. After Caeser refused to allow him to be the next in line of leadership. After Caser gave him this world for power to betray him. “This is my time. To shine.” A ship comes out of a wormhole and the zebra frozen inside wakes up from her frozen slumber. She looks out the window of the shuttle to see the world of guardians before her. She looks at the date and time and it has been close to a month. It’s been more like four weeks. She is sure that Muffin has found her note and told her not to follow. A communication came over the console and she clicks in the codes and the information on where she wants to land. She was told not to trust any of the zebra in the government. She was told to land in a safe spot where the shuttle can not only be destroyed but will never be able to get anyone to new Celestia. “Welcome to our world of the tribe of the Guardians sir. We will have someone come to greet you at your place of landing.” A code is sent to her and she reads it closely. ‘No one is looking for you. One of your family named  Umshudo will be here to help you find us. Make sure you’re hidden we can’t allow those full of hope to find you and showering you with their wants. That won’t work for our plans to overthrow Glyph.’ Savannah does what she is told. A compartment in the ship opens up and a cloak comes out with a staff that she can look like a pilgrim here on a holy walk. Setting the shuttle to land and when she finally gets to the world. A smile forms over her face seeing one of the worlds she loved when she was young. The city looks well kept and like the laws haven’t even hit here yet. She comes down to land and lands in the slums in an old air pad that hasn’t been kept up for years. She knows if she stays in this shuttle for too long she will sink with the pad into the water below she quickly puts on the cloak and getting the staff and she jumps out getting to the ground below and the herb bag her element helps her get a safe fall. When she lands she gets no looks because with the cape she looks like one of the holy. It’s rare for anyone to question the holy zebras and those that seek good faith in the stars. She takes a deep breath looking around. A zebra drops a paper infront of her. “Hello, holy one. Will you be needing anything?” She looks down at the paper. ‘Umshudo is in the bar down the road. The only way she will trust you is if you get a room at the inn and you remove your element. She is part of the growing movement of anti elements because of your war. So please honor her wishes.’  She quickly nods and the note burns from a strange powder she places on it. “I need a direction to an inn dear sir. Oh and don’t worry about my shuttle let the unholy creation fall into the water below where it belongs.” The zebra nods. “Follow the road you will see the tavern and the inn itself. It’s run by a pony mare married to a zebra stallion. The mares name is Bubble and the stallion is Broken shard. Sign your name dear pilgrim and they will take you to your room.” The stallion walks away while Savannah uses her hoof to lean on the staff or stick walking like a pilgrim the metal ring to attach the staff to the hoof. She takes a deep breath while behind her the shuttle starts to explode on the inside. The console burns away and the acid drips out of the ship going onto the old air pad and it starts to crumble and turn to parts into the sea. Savannah walks through the town seeing the pilgrims and the zebras working with the ponies to make this world peaceful than the other worlds. They do their best to not get the wrath of the ones loyal to Glyph and his empire.  “Please give me some money.” Savannah turns her head to a poor family. She looks at the kids she wishes she could give them money but all she can do is walk. The money of new Rome wouldn’t be allowed her. They would learn it’s not from this world and the poor family would get in trouble. She quickly finds the inn going into the inn. She nods to the two behind the desk. The mare and her husband. She writes in the name pilgrim and the two look at it. The blue earth pony mare looks to her husband. “Broken shard dear please unlock number four.” The stallion nods and with his tail tells Savannah to follow him. Savannah bows her head to Bubble and when she heads upstairs a frown forms on her face. She shakes her head feeling bad for what is going to happen. “ I wish I could warn her..”  Bubble softly spoke to herself. Since she knows what is about to happen. Broken Shard leads the zebra mare to room four and unlocks it and he turns to look at her with a weak smile. Savannah just nods. “The pilgrims haven’t come to this world as much as they used to. But your guest is waiting for you.”  Broken Shard leaves taking the key with him and Savannah goes inside the light turns on seeing Umshudo. She quickly takes off the hood hugging her half-sister. Her father of course being caesar has many foals from various mares he’s been with over his time as the leader of Rome. He is now well kind of the leader of new Rome but it’s more all the tribes he is the figurehead now. “Hello, sister tell me everything about this new world of yours.” Savannah closes the door removing the element like she was asked placing the herb bag on the counter like it wasn’t even real. The element doesn’t even glow to warn her. The element would normally glow to warn her. Maybe this is a test or the element, for now, feels it’s not needed. “It’s an impressive world a former world created for the warriors of harmony. Father is just a figurehead now all the tribes of new Rome pass the laws he reads them and make sure they’re followed.” Umshudo tilts her head. A surprised look in her eyes. She and Savannah know that their father would have never given up the power. “There is something about the new world that brings the best out of everyone. He and I even forgave each other. I am now married to Muffin and a wonderful stallion we have children and I wouldn’t have left. But I was asked to by a zebra thinking I am some hero. I am no hero just another zebra mare. But I came to learn why these laws are being passed.” Umshudo sighs looking away out to the window opening it up and lays her head on the window sill. “It’s because Glyph feels without our father around he can finally get the power that he felt that was taken from him. But enough talk I need to take you to the meeting place of the resistance that has been forming over the past few months. Put the cloak of your hood back on and I will lead you to them.” Savannah takes a deep breath blowing the heated air out of her mouth. She puts the hood back over her head covering her stripped face and mane. She is lead out of the room and it’s locked behind her leaving her element on the counter. She walks down the stairs giving two behind the counter her thanks and the two look at each other. They nod and turn away they didn’t want to see what will happen to her. Savannah follows her half-sister through the streets as they get deeper into the slums she starts seeing the broken and the dying laying in the streets wondering if she could do anything to help them but she has to ignore them for now. “I wish I could explain to you sister why these laws are breaking up tribes and families. Our kind has been through so many wars it’s amazing that we are evil still alive. I wish I could even explain more to you but the leader will. But I can’t be seen I may have met them but all I can do is lead you there.” Savannah nods staying silent she closes her eyes and she has a feeling she is being led into the trap. But she was told by Luna and even Discord if she came here she would be used as an example maybe that is what is needed. She is the element of Sacrifice sacrificing herself might be what she needs to get to the leadership and start the end. She is lead to a broken-down old theater looking up to see the sign of the great star chaser and the hunter of the hope. A smile forms on her striped face. Ahe sees the old theater that she used to go to she feels awful that the world has gone so far into this that she would never be able to see the old world again. The door opens for Savanah she turns her head to look at her half-sister. “Thank you sister I hope that I see you again.” When she walks into the theater and the door closes behind her and standing by a table is meant to be the zebra she is to talk with. “I have come to speak to you.” The zebra lifts his head to look at Savannah and he smiles weakly he shifts in his chair offering her a chair with his hoof. She sits down and removes her hood. “I am sorry that I asked you to come out here Savannah. It’s not going to be easy to fight Glyph he has spies everywhere. He wants to know how to get to your new world and he wants to do as much as he can to break the hope.” Savannah shifts in the chair she took a deep breath she knew this well. She knew this even after she helped fight Twilight and her army. She did so much to become the true element she is. She looks to the side hearing a sound. “I understand you wish to do what you can. But how do you wish to go about it.” The stallion stands and shifts a bit looking towards the switch to turn the lights on and he turns his head to look back at Savannah. The poor zebra has been through much and she can tell he is broken. “There is nothing we can do about it. But..” He turns the lights on and many zebra guards are aiming their blasters and spears at Savannah. She shifts looking at it all and she doesn’t move a muscle but a weak smile forms across her mouth knowing she will have to fight to make this look good at least in her mind.  “I see.” She gets out of the chair and the zebras with the spears come for her first they didn’t want to kill her but to knock her out and do what they can to get her knocked out and she feels if she doesn’t make this look good she will get more hurt then most think. She closes her eyes and the zebra guards charge at her the tips of the spears arc electricity through them just a poke would knock her out and she shifts her hoof and grabs a metal staff that Rainbow gave her before she left and it extends and she fights using the holes it and fights them off with ease from her training.  She knocks back some of the guards and a few tips stab into her sides and she groans as a charge goes through her making her convulse in pain. She groans and swings her pole into the faces of the zebra blood flows from the wounds dripping the floor below. “In the name of harmony, I will not fall. I will fight you all. I will.” A bullet from a blaster hits her in the back and it’s a stunning shot as she turns her head to stare at Bone Shard and Bubbles using the blasters on her and she falls to the floor her body stunned and she can’t even move. The zebra guards come towards her and with their spears taking the blunt part and they all smack her hard to knock her out but they don’t stop there they beat the living tar out of her and outside when the commotion dies down. “You did good miss Umshudo. Take this money and all the food you can eat to your family. We will take it from here.” Umshudo turns her head to stare at Mr. Gleamer and she turns to walk away tears falling from her eyes and lifts the bag of food and money to give to her family. She has betrayed her blood in the name of money and food.  Discord sat on the roof of the building watching this all unfold. He shifts on the roof watching them carry off the body of Savannah he smiles seeing that she is alive. But he knows he can’t do anything he follows them as they carry her off. Knowing that time soon is for the war to fully take effect to take back these words and Savannah will be in the heart of taking back the zebra worlds. Season three ends.
