Talking: "..."

Thinking: '...'

"Twilight!" Silver wind came dashing in, since her turn of patrol had been finished.
Twilight Sparkle looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "Deep breaths Silver wind, now what is it?" She asked her.
Silver Wind smiled with tears in her blue eyes. "I saw it, the pony that will lead us to peace!" She stated, letting the tears fall.
"What do you mean, explain!" Twilight demanded, now standing on her hooves in front of the silver pegasus.
Silver Wind bowed. "Lykaios." She stated as Twilight's eyes widen.
Soon after, their base was invaded by the mecha hybrids. "Get the soldiers now!" Fiery Fusion roared as many ponies, both mare and stallion stood before the army of mecha beasts. Fiery fusion's head turned hearing a loud roar, which sounded like a mare's voice, but it was deeper than most as a ten foot tall black pegasus with a muscular body stood in front of the pony-folk.
"That's..." One muttered seeing the mare, yet their body looked to be a mechanized pony.
The pegasus' body expanded as air filled her body, before unleashing a powerful blast of magic breaking off the mecha from the infected group. "Help... Us..." One freed victim coughed holding out his hoof.
Twilight's eyes widen, yet the mecha soon started to re-make itself, but the black pegasus, with the silver mane sent needles of fur into each of the infected bodies killing them. "Th-thank you..." One mare smiled finally being able to die, instead of being a slave for the rest of her life.
Rainbow dash growled as she looked at the mare. "What the hell, we could've saved them!" She snapped yet Twilight shook her head.
"Not without a cure Rainbow..." She muttered sadly, seeing many dead mecha, some of them were animals and plants, but the were rest ponies. "This being here spared them of being Red Shadow's puppets."
"But still, damn it all!" Rainbow Dash clenched her teeth together tightly, already Fluttershy was nuzzling her neck in comfort.

The black pegasus fell to the ground, having already killed the other half of the hundred mecha army, she panted shifting back into her smaller version of a young blue pegasus, with a spiky brown mane. "Lykaios, the pony who had been said to have disappeared over two years ago." Twilight stated walking over to the mare.
With a strong will, Lykaios stood panting, already blood was running down her chin, yet the pegasus' right eye was white with a deep red scar across it, while the other eye was a fierce brown. "Best patch up that hole, unless you want more finding this place..." She stated, her voice weak, but lighter than the voice she had before.

Another pony gently helped Lykaios to the infirmary, yet to all, her name was unknown. "Master, using that move, it was reckless!" She stated with worried eyes, which were a gentle green. Lykaios shrugged at the earth pony, whose long roan red mane hanged effortlessly on the mare's left shoulder. "Please, as your companion, don't use that form, it could take you over like last time..." She muttered nuzzling Lykaios.
"Leona, for a few minutes even when beaten to a pulp, I controlled it, I used it's power to free and kill those mecha." Lykaios stated but winced since the beast form she called it, took it's toll on her from being used twice.

Leona stayed by Lykaios like a loyal dog, due to the fact she was a shape shifting German shepherd in disguise. "Please for me, don't use that form again till you've recovered..." She pleaded with her bright green eyes.
"Alright, fine." Lykaios stated stubbornly, but disliked seeing the light brown earth pony, who had markings of black like a German shepherd on her back, tail, and muzzle upset, or even hurt for that matter.
"Here." A small filly muffled pushing a small cart with two trays of food into the infirmary. "Something for you to eat, also thank you for saving us." The small filly stated as she smiled after removing her teeth from the handle.
"Thanks." Leona smiled while Lykaios nodded, but the blue pegasus looked rough and scary with her left mecha hoof, and scarred blind right eye. "What's your name little one?"
The filly scratched the back of her right hoof, with her left one, already the sweet little earth pony had her head down, with her short mane covering her eyes. "A-Amethyst Flare..." The filly stated since her hair was the same color as an amethyst jewel, while her fur looked more like fire. "I-I really look up to you, mysterious mare Lykaios!" She shouted like a nervous pony, but soon put her hooves to her mouth.

Lykaios blinked, but used her wing to move Flare's mane from her face, showing a beautiful mix of purple and fiery red eyes. "Thanks kid, for the food and stuff." She stated before eating some of the salad on her tray.
Amethyst Flare's eyes lit up, as the young filly squealed jumping into the air, before rolling the cart out after Leola and Lykaios had taken their food. "I-I'll come back later for the trays." She muffled leaving. 
Leola giggled a bit. "Such a sweet filly." She smiled as Lykaios had fallen asleep after finishing her meal. Soon every pony went to sleep for the night, after hours of repair, scouting, but several scouts remained awake, making sure no mecha beings attacked, oddly enough changelings had been morphed, causing the queen herself Chrysalis to become temporary allies with Twilight Sparkle, and the rest of pony kind.
