Equestrian Mercenaries.

Bad Relations.

Twilight was trying to wrap her head around what she was seeing. Five creatures stood before her, they were all clad in some kind of Armor colored so that it blended in with trees. She scanned the pack and started to panic when she noticed the biggest one, it was easily as tall as Celestia and looked like it could rip a log in two. Twilight then realized she still had Celestia with her. She turned back and noticed the Diarch's offensive stance. Unfortunately the big one noticed this too, and rolled out of the way as a laser bolt seared the ground he was on. She watched in horror as the big one jumped out one of her windows and broke parts of her wall as well.
The others noticed this and sat there, what looked like smiles playing off their faces.
Celestia was enraged by this.

"WHY ARE YOU SMILING?!?"

One laughed and pointed at her......no, Past her.

"Cause, you're fixing to be nothing more than a pile of guts, don't believe me? Look behind you."

Celestia took the advice and looked behind her, but she froze when her muzzle hit cold steel.






Elijah had jumped out the window when the giant 'Chicken.' Shot at him. After landing, he snuck around and estimated where the poultry would be, he was fixing to try to break down the wall, but he noticed a door.
He turned the knob, stepped in, and stood there quietly, waiting for the chicken to notice him.



Celestia looked up and into the slotted helmet of the creature. "Uh..."
She was cut off when it wrapped its paw around her throat, and grabbed her back and LIFTED her above his head.
Preparing to:

1- Slam her onto the ground and finish her with a stomp.

2- Rip her in two.


"WAIT!!!! STOP!!!!!"

Celestia was surprised to see one of the creatures actually keeping her from death. It then motioned for the bigger one to set her down, who groaned at the orders.

"Why? It tried to kill me!"

"Put the damn thing down! Can't you see it has a crown! I want to know where we are, what happened, and why we're being shot at!"
