//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 (Star's Flashback) // Story: Movement // by RedCharge //------------------------------// *Again thank you all for taking the time to read this, i do appreciate all comments because I can use all of them to improve, considering this was my first action/adventure fic* Chapter 5 "I was just a colt when my father signed me up for Celestia's royal gaurds training camp. He was a very patriotic man and knew that there were those who resisted 'her royal highness' Princess Celestia. Being a member of her secret police himself, he hoped that one day I would join them too. As a foal I excelled at all things needed to be a royal gaurd. So much so that Celestia herself wanted me to be her personal bodygaurd, while doing such I was sent on many violent assigments." *FLASHBACK FROM STARSHINE FLOURISH'S POINT OF VIEW* ''Hey Star wake up, youre about to witness history" Gallant Vision said with a grin, we were just outside of the Stalliongrad town line, in fact we were in Griffin territor making an arms deal with the Griffin Empire. They were in need of lighter armaments, therefore Celestia belived that we could generate billions of bits per day. To her money was everything, it meant more to her than keeping her own family alive. "Keep in mind Private Flourish, this is where all of our futures begin" suddenly a gunshot rang out, Celestia had been injured and was hobbling twords our jeep, I leaned out of our armored chariot and covered her, when she arrived she was sure to remember our faces, she would never forget us. She rewarded us with everything our hearts could ever desire, money, mares,power. But with that power came more work, dirtier work. Corrupt and evil work. Zebbabwe "Star, so glad you could see this, our statement to the rest of the world of just what we are capable of." he called someone on the radio and said "Detonate" with that there was a massive flash of light, a burst which we had never seen, only later did i find out just how many people it had killed. Millions of people killed with the word of a single man. A single evil man, mad with power and greed. The knowledge of what he had done only made him laugh harder and harder. It was then that I realized just what had been going on. After he began to walk away he said "and this is just the start". Manehatten Train Depot I was walking casually back to the train to take me to Canterlot when I was all of the sudden attacked by some of the secret police's officers. I was held against my will as Gallant Vision came up to me and said. "Star, I am dissapointed in you, and I know what you have done, selling our information to rebels. Disloyalty of the highest echelon. The princess does not look to traitors with mercy." with these words he placed a bullet just above my third rib and left me for dead. Fortunately the shot was not leathal enough to kill me. Having my badge taken away from me by Gallant, the medics at the train station just treated me as a normal gunshot victim. As soon as I was well they realised me. Only after I returned to my home did I see the full intent of his cruel trickery. My home was burned to the ground and my family was charred to a crisp. I vowed vengence on all that serve the princess as her foolish slaves. *Back to reality* "Well done, it looks like you just bought yourself a little time."Arrow said with an absolute poker face. =================================================================================== War, war never changes,no matter how much we like to think we can change, we never will, War will always rage on, so fight the good fight and die with a cause.
