//------------------------------// // Gilda of Rage part 1 // Story: Twilight Sparkle: Green Lantern of Sector 2812 // by cornholio4 //------------------------------// Instead of a recap since the board of directors at Cornholio4 (yes fanfic writers have their own board, who knew?) decided to fire Pinkie Pie as our recap we decided instead of hiring a new one, to tell you defender2222 has liked and commented on this story so we know we must be doing something right. Enjoy Flash Sentry panted as he was going home from training at the Royal Guard Academy. He was a yellow furred and dark blue maned Pegasus whose Cutie Mark was a dark blue shield with a yellow lightning bolt on it. He had a month ago joined the Academy. The Royal Guard of Equestria was actually comprised of two main groups who were led by the Equestrian government including Princess Celestia. The most well known group was the official Royal Guard which guarded Canterlot and the palace. Flash heard in the newspapers with the return of Princess Luna this would lead to the return of Princess Luna’s Night Guard. Flash knew their Captain who was recently promoted was Shining Armor the coltfriend of Princess Cadence. The other was the official military of Equestria charged with dealing with threats and conflicts with the other nations of the planet. Technically speaking they had more authority and power over the official and public Royal Guard though this hardly came up except if soldiers were abusing powers or were corrupt. Slade Eiling and Stolen March were enrolled in this military branch of the Guard. It was the official Royal Guard branch of the military was what Flash was training to enter. He didn’t notice that he bumped into somepony. He was shocked to see a pretty lavender unicorn with a green ring on her horn. He knew it had to be the Twilight Sparkle the sister of Captain Armor and the person student of Princess Celestia herself, he knew from the paper a week ago she had gained some green ring and helped defeated Nightmare Moon in a guise calling herself the Green Lantern. “Sorry about that.....” Flash said with a blush and Twilight shook her head. “It’s okay, I should have watched where I was going as well.” said Twilight as she went back to the palace. Flash picked his things back up as he headed back the direction of his home, maybe to play his hoof guitar. *TS GL2812* In a warehouse in Canterlot were Slade Eiling and Stolen March, both wearing the official uniform of the Equestrian military including black military hats, black shirts and yellow belts. Slade was angrily pacing up and down the place. “I don’t believe it!” Slade snarled thrashing about the table “they refused and turned down my suggestion of sending an ops team into the Griffon Kingdom and find that wanted terrorist ourselves!” “They said it would put harmless innocents into needless danger.” Stolen March said sitting down on a chair drinking some cider “as well as potentially start a war between us and the Griffon Kingdom.” “A war against them we would be able to handle, we would be finally able to destroy that monster species once and for all!” Slade said glaring at Stolen March for daring to question him “and besides none of those griffons are innocent, we need to be able to bring down a criminal no matter what, the weaklings in authority as well as the Princess are just too weak to realise that!” “Good to see you both here, my friends.” Said a voice and a smirking Sunset Shimmer walked into the room. “I am starting to wonder if this alliance we are having holds any purpose.” Slade said glaring at Sunset, most ponies would have shrunken at Slade’s scarred one good eye but Sunset was not like most ponies. “Look I believe you have heard of this new Green Lantern persona that stupid lavender unicorn that replaced me has taken for herself?” Sunset asked and the two military ponies nodded. “I believe if I can get close enough I can use an ancient spell I learn from the books you have brought me to replicate the magic involved in it.” Said Sunset excitedly “with the magic of that ring we can take control and run Equestria our way!” “I still don’t see why I should be helping with your scheme.” Slade said his face in a glare. “Because......” replied Sunset looking at the experience soldier “you need me just as much as I need you!” “What are you talking about?” said Slade with a large glare to Sunset who only laughed in his face. “I think you know Lieutenant Eiling.” Responded Sunset as she continued “you have been a dedicated soldier for years but because of your attitude and the accidents that you started you will never rise above a mere lieutenant! No one fully understands the necessity of your more controversial actions and you will always have to answer weak skilled ponies. Follow and trust me and I will make sure you will be able to be the one allowed to make the tough calls!” Slade just continued glaring but still gave a slight nod, smiling Sunset went over until she was facing Stolen March. “....and how about you, you will not get far either.” Sunset said in March’s face “you a slimy weasel who will take any shortcut he sees that will suit you! You have already gotten into trouble due to who you have been in contact with! With my help you will be rewarded for the risks you have made!” Slade and Stolen March were now staring at her. Slade broke the silence by saying “I am a soldier and everything that I have done was for the name of peace in Equestria! We need more soldiers like, more willing to do whatever it takes to best protect Equestria from viable threats! In order to make that happen yes I will be on your side but you will not be spared if it seems your schemes will only benefit yourself!” Stolen March then said his bit “I have worked hard and just because of who I know I got demoted from my rightful place in the Equestrian military! The information I gather and the deals I made will justify anything that may have been done in order to get it! If teaming up with you means ponies will finally realise that then yes you can count on me as an ally!” When she saw that she now had both of their attentions as well as them on her side, Sunset smirked and then began going over plans that she had. One way or another she will take back what is rightfully hers from Twilight Sparkle!!!! *TS GL2812* Twilight was relaxing on her bed having spent about an hour explaining to her parents and her brother Shining that she was recruited by an alien peacekeeping force and was entrusted with a ring literally powered by her own will. After coming home she had promised Princess Celestia she would try and be more positive about making friends and that she would write to her reports of her findings about friendships. Noticing a letter from her she opened it up and read it out loud: Dear obnoxious egghead Dear egghead Dear Twilight Hey egghead I know it has only been a week but we at Ponyville have really been missing you. Applejack said she considers your part of her family now (bit weird since you were only in Ponyville for about three days or something) and I guess it was cool to meet an actual superhero! Also in the week since you left a new hero has appeared calling herself Supermare or something. I am having a flight demonstration tomorrow and I was wondering if you wanted to show up? It would be great to see you there! Rainbow Dash Future Wonderbolt Twilight thought that it would be nice to visit Ponyville again. Hey it had been quite around there so, why not? *TS GL2812* The next day Twilight was in the crowd watching as Dash was flying around in the sky using some impressive moves. Twilight believed she may have a shot at the Wonderbolts someday. Then suddenly flying to her were three large Pegasuses in black suits and black masks flying about the area and barging into Dash. “Hey!” Dash yelled angrily as the masked ponies were pretty much ruining her show. The crowd of townsponies were staring in shock as Twilight decided it was time to go into action. Her horn bright up and thinking really hard her Ring formed her Green Lantern uniform around her body and she floated in the air with a determined look on her face. “Okay let’s take these thugs down!!!” Twilight yelled flying after the ponies to the cheers of her crowd. Using her horn she constructed a giant machine gun (having seen one in a fiction comic book about humans, hey a book’s a book!) and due to studying Pegasus anatomy she knew where the weakest part of Pegasus wings were. she began firing at them and it struck the three pegasi causing them to stagger and crash into the ground. The police ponies of the town went and unmasked all three of the pegasi and as it turns out they were repeat troublemakers and were usually thugs for hire. Twilight then went into the Pegasi’ face and asked “Okay why did you ruin Dash’s show?” “it was Gilda!” one of them stammered “she paid us to disturb the show and humiliate Dash!” “Gilda?” Dash asked her teeth snarling “I can’t believe she would stoop so low?” “Whose Gilda?” Twilight asked as the police ponies began taking the pegasi in. “Gilda is a Cloudsdale raised griffon who was my best friend from Junior Speedsters Flight Camp!” Dash said barely containing her anger “during the week since you were gone she came back and was mean to everypony else, she had ruined a party we were attending and seeing how much of a jerk she was I broke things off with her!” “We will take it from here Ms Sparkle.” Said one of the police ponies as Twilight thought and had her uniform disappear “We will probably be taking them to Blackgate! In Equestria there were two major prisons. One was Blackgate located between Ponyville and Canterlot where normal criminals were stored. The other one was Arkham Asylum located in Canterlot, where the mentally ill ponies and Equestria residents went to. Arkham had been founded decades of Starswirl the Bearded by psychologist Amadeus Arkham an unicorn who was one of the few that helped found Ponyville. He had gone insane in his later life and was treated as his own facility. As they were speaking a female griffon who was watching this, clutched her fists in anger as she flew to her home. *TS GL2812* Hours later with her stuff packed Gilda was hiding in the Everfree Forest. She could not believe her plan failed! She had hired those thugs to humiliate her old traitorous lame-o friend Rainbow Dash during her own presentation show but not the personal student of the lame-o Princess in a stupid green suit ruined her plan! She was now on the run from the law-ponies and had to flee her home a wanted fugitive! It was all lame-o Sparkle’s fault! If it wasn’t for her Dash would have realised she had made a mistake in ditching her and they may have repaired her friendship with her. But no! Because of that stupid unicorn she was now a wanted criminal! She was so furious she began hurting various animals and knew the one who had to pay the most was that stupid unicorn! Anger and fury was filling up her mind and heart and she could barely function. Then suddenly she saw a dark red light approach her. “GILDA OF SECTOR 2812!!!!” a dark red booming voice said to her. YOU HAVE GREAT RAGE IN YOUR HEART!!!!! the voice said as a dark red ring came out of the light and placed itself on her finger. She felt her rage and anger towards Twilight Sparkle override her thoughts by ten thousand until it was all that was on her mind. Every single millisecond her anger was growing and she left out a roar. YOU NOW BELONG TO THE RED LANTERN CORPS!!!!! the voice said as the ring was glowing dark red and although she could not notice her eyes were now showing dark red. YOU WILL HAVE YOUR VENGEANCE!!!!! YOUR NEW LORD AND MASTER ATROCITUS PROMISES THIS!!!! Gilda then pointed her ring at the dark Red lantern and then said the oath that also appeared in her mind along with all the anger: WITH BLOOD AND RAGE OF CRIMSON RED RIPPED FROM A CORPSE SO FRESHLY DEAD TOGETHER WITH OUR HELLISH HATE WE’LL BURN YOU ALL THAT IS YOUR FATE!!!!!
