Headline stared in awe as he noticed at least 200 royal guards were standing awaiting orders. He asked for a few, not over 200. However, he thought to himself, the more the merrier.
“Hi Headline.” A Guard responded.
“Shining Armor! So good to meet you.” Headline said.
“Same here, how are you Bold?”
“Never better.”
“Hey, Headline, sorry about your loss brother. He was a good friend of mine; I wish to help you in this mission for Equestria and your brother.”
“Thank you, Shining Armor, it means a lot to hear that.”
“Glad, now Headline what is our orders?”
Headline had no idea he was going to give orders, but without a long hesitation, he gave direct orders.
“O.k! I'm going to need every guards help in this mission.” Headline said with such a commanding voice. “Know that we are not just doing this to protect our home, or a friend, but for Equestria. These assassins must not take over and rule over us! We will bring justice to these assassins and bring all 6 of them here to Canterlot. I will meet with the one in charge and deal with him. Until then, here is the plan. I am going to send 50 guards to each location. 5 total hideouts, so 50 or more to each location. I want you all in groups of 50 right now. Then I will give further orders.”
Just like that without a second delay, they all got into groups of 50, there were a few left over.
“Good, so, 250 soldiers...o.k. you 5 can go to any group you want.” Headline said without much care.
“Wait, Headline...” Shining Armor responded. “Let me come and protect you both.”
“Do you have a problem with that dad?”
“Not at all.”
“Very well, come here Shining Armor. Now, listen, I will send you to your locations, you will wait there until the three of us are at your location and then will give further orders. Now, groups from left to right, group 1, head to the Canterlot hideout. Group 2, head to the Ponyville hideout. Group 3, head for the Baltimare hideout. Group 4, head for the Los Pegasus hideout. Finally, Group 5, head for the Manehatten hideout. Remember, be in distance from the hideout so that, encase, the assassins will not see anything suspicious happening and escape. Wait at a safe distance from your hideout and await further orders. That is all, DISMISSED!!!”
“Well done Headline!” Shining Armor. “Why be a reporter? You would do so much better as a Captain.”
“Ha! Thanks but no thanks.” Headline said as he laughed.
“Well dad, let's get going.”
Quickly, Shining Armor, Headline, and I went straight to the Canterlot hideout location without anything to stand in our way!
