Chapter 1

But our story begins far away on the edge of the zebra republic . The zebras were all going about their daily business of trading and buying in the many markets. Fillies and foals were playing in the streets with their fiends and the bright sun was high in the sky. Slowly the clouds above began to darken and grow. Soon the dark clouds had engulfed the sun and the Town was swept in darkness. The mayor of the town was having his lunch of herbal tea and biscuits when suddenly there was a heavy rummbling through the ground which knocked his cup to the floor with a smash. He looked out the window just in time to see a talon come out of the clouds and start to rip into the ground below. A building crumbled under the Talon and the Zebra's were swept up in its wrath.  

The Mayor shouted to his assistant. 
"Morbus look it's Discord.!" The cloud made a circular opening and started to draw everything below it inside. Everything was being lifted. zebra's, buildings and plants, just dissapeared into the gigantic hole. The mayor and his assistants had no choice. "The ships, get to the ships! Their our only chance."
SkyShip technology had moved far ahead at this time and they made transport between the nations much easier. They had been designed by a team of Pegasi Engineers and Celestia had given the technology to all the races as a sign of peace. Now they were the Zebra's only hope of escape. Already they were piling into the first and many more heading for the second. The ramps were raised with Zebra's still trying to board. The assistant ran to the cockpit and gave the order to launch. With a few quick motions of the controls the  thrusters started up, propelling them into the sky. The first managed to escape the pull, but the second was not so lucky.  The Mayor cried out in terror for his assistant.
"Theoden. Arrrggghh." The ship lost all control and tumbled backwards towards the cloud. As it dissapeared inside, their was a crunching and smashing noise.
In less than five minutes the entire settlement was completely wiped from the surface. Not a tree, bush or building was left and the cloud had grown larger and was already moving away. 

Outside Canterlot, in Celestrial Base 1
On the two secret bases outside Canterlot the Celestraians prepare to re-take their city. But the enemy spies are watching them even now. 
Princess Celestia stood in her Command centre, watching over her ponies hard at work preparing. 
"Shinning armour, report our status.”
A white stallion in Purple Armour spun around in his chair to look at Celestia. 
"Every time i look into a monitor princess, my blood boils. When are we going to start beating Lunarians in submission!" 
Celestia looked sternly at her Captain of the guard.
" I want you to make a special run to Celestial city in the north!"
Shinning Armour was shocked at this. 
" But princess?"
She quickly interrupted!  
"listen, we don't have enough energy cells to power a full scale assault. Ready the Skyship for launch!" 
He nodded his head in agreement and galloped off to the Skyship waiting outside." Celestia looked over to big Macintosh. "Macintosh Report enemy status." 
He slowly looked up from is console.
" No Lunarians around here princess." 
Celstia nodded.
"what about base two.
"Big Mac to base two. repeat Big Mac to base two." 
On his monitor a Orange mare with straw colour mane and a sandy coloured stallion with light hair appeared. " AppleJack and Braburn here." the two smiled.
"we are about to launch the Airship. Any Lunarian shenanigans in your area?" 
" All clear Big Mac." Applejack stepped forward "Hey Shinning Armour. Tell my sister Applebloom I miss her. And not ta worry. I'll be back a soon as we kick Luna's tail out of Canterlot." Shinning Armour was now in the Cockpit of the Skyship along with Lucky, Caramel And a royal Guard. 
"Will do Applejack" He smiled. 
Celestia gave the order to begin the count down.

COUNTDOWN COMMENCING IN 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. BLAST OFF! 

With that Shinning armour hit the booster button and the airship launched into the Evening sky. Princess Celestia looked on hopefully and the Ship move out of sight. "Now all we need is a little energy and a lot of luck." High above a Small Shadowbolt flew away back to Canterlot. She grinned a evil grin, knowing her mission was a success.
In the Castle, Princess Luna was looking at a map,  showing the location of the two enemy bases. "Our scout has returned Princess." The Shadowbolt hovered in front of her. 
"What is your report!" She Commanded. The small mare told her all that she had seen in Celestria's base. 
"luck eh. More than you can imagine dear Sister." A smirk crossed her face in Pleasure.

Shinning Armour's ship was now cruising north to celestial city. Everypony was at their stations and were settling into the cruise. whensuddenly they felt a deep thud behind them and then with a tearing of metal and wire, the side of the ship was blown open. Princess Luna pushed trough the tangle of wreckage with Shadowbolts behind her. The Royal Guard turned around and called out. 
"Princess? LANARIANS!"
“Die Celestian! She lowered her horn and blasted the guard strait through his chest sending him crashing to the ground in a cloud of smoke and burning fur. At the sound of the shot, Caramel turned around and fired his hoof Blaster at the group in the breach. A stallion fell from the ship stone dead but was replaced by another who fired back at Caramel hitting him squarely in the throat. He Exhaled, pouring smoke from his nose and mouth as he fell to the side. Shinning Armour and Lucky both turned, laying down a wide field of fire which made the Shadowbolts duck for cover to avoid the deadly blasts.

But Luna didn't move an inch. She just fired shot after shot which sent the two ponies falling down with burning holes in the chest and legs. Luna walked forward and surveyed the destruction with a smile. 
"this was almost too easy Blackstar." She smirked to her second in command. 
"Much easier, oh Mighty Luna than dealing with the real threat. The Celestrians Secret bases." Luna looked at him with an un- impressed look.
"your a foal Blackstar! When we slip by their early warning sensors and destroy Celestial city. My Sisters forces will be vanquished forever." she suddenly felt somepony weakly grab her right leg. 
"nooo" came a croaky voice. She looked down at a half dead Shinning Armour. Luna looked down with a look of neither pity of joy. She simply charge her horn to maximum power. 
"such heroic nonsense." Their was a loud bang and pieces of purple armour were spread all over the Cockpit. 
And the ship headed to the city.
