//------------------------------// // By the great eagle!! // Story: Eagle's Flight // by The crossover Trooper //------------------------------// "Go brother and inform the men." "Yes, Major!" Wilderspace...a sector of space discovered after the defeat of the Cybrids. When the first pioneers traveled to this new frontier their communication's with the Great Human Empire became strained. With self sufficiency growing due to rising farms and industries the pioneers saw themselves independent. They broke off from the Empire and proclaimed themselves to be the tribe known as the Children of Phoenix. In order to control the tribe fiasco the Empire deployed one of the most brutal and heavy handed knight orders they had to Wilder space the Order of the Blood Eagle. After holding a crusade against the tribals for decades causing the splintering where the Phoenix broke into several smaller but powerful tribes. The Blood Eagle's thought of themselves as a tribe even adopting the powered armor the tribals seemed to be fond of due to a lack of spare parts for their massive war machines the H.E.R.C.S and Imperial support. Soon they declared independence from the Empire and became the Blood Eagle tribe. The Blood Eagle, or buzzards as some tribes nick named them, soon started raiding Imperial convoys and launching attacks against the Starwolf one of the splintered tribes. This is where we follow a Blood Eagle warrior on a journey of great lengths. As Blood Talon was skiing down a slope toward the Blood Eagle camp below he couldn't help but think of the Starwolf planet they were fighting over. 'If we're moving out already that means there is bound to be trouble.' Blood couldn't help thinking. As he was thinking about what could have the sub-clan chief so jumpy he failed to see a massive shadow move over him and the camp. All the while he flew off a slope using his jet pack to ease his landing. He slammed down in the middle of the camp shouting out the order to pack up and prepare to move from the chief. When he grabbed a deployable station and put it on finally noticing the shadow and looked up to see one thing every tribal banned at the first firetruce. "Those Star mutts wouldn't dare use a eco-cidal weapon. No they can't THE PHOENIX AND GREAT EAGLE WON'T ALLOW IT!" He ended shouting in disbelieve as everything turned white he failed to feel what felt like a pair hands reach around his midsection then...black. ---------------------------------- As the sun shined down on a city of golden roof tops a small train pulled into this wonder of Equestrian art.. yes Equestrian as in a country full of ponies all living together in harmony surrounded by the countries of the Griffin Republic, the Minotaur Dominion, The Changeling Conglomerate, and finally the Kingdoms of the Zebra. All of these countries lived in peace on the planet Sardonia key word LIVED as of late a debate was being held over a creature that appeared un-conscious in the royal palace of the sisters of the sun and the moon. The delegates left disgruntled but, couldn't bring themselves away from their duties for long. Only making promises of material support if something were to happen. So the princess sent her student a letter requesting aid in a new unheard of scientific pursuit. Twilight was a fantastic pony: hard working ,extremely intelligent ,and the element of magic. So life was good for Twilight Sparkle as she and the other Element bearers made there way to the palace. "Oh I'm just so excited a new creature made out of black and red steel I have to get thereearlyenoughtoseewhatIneedtolookforintheroyalarchives!" She practically crammed those last words together as she sprinted towards the castle. "Wow...she can get as bad as you Pinky once it comes to learning something." Rainbow dash spoke in her tomboyish accent. "Well you can't blame her darling this sort of thing is up her alley. Wouldn't you be excited if you were given the chance to learn a new trick that would impress the Wonderbolts." Rarity threw back at her. "No can't say I wouldn't....well I at least hope this alien is awesome." said rainbow dash as she tried to re-engage the conversation after a second or to after awkward silence. "R.D For the last time ah' told y'all that the creature ain't ah' alien!" Apple jack replied while trying to calm there shy friend down. "WellwhenBloodTalenwakesupi'mgoingtohavetothrowa "WELCOME TO EQUESTRIA MISTER TRIBAL! party." Shouted their more enthusiastic friend. "Tribal...Pinky come now you honestly don't expect this thing to live like that now do you?" With that they argued all the way to the caslte. Until they could hear a scream of fright. After charging through hallways and flights of stairs they busted down a door in time to see dual streams of red fly out the busted window leaving behind a un-conscious Luna and shaking Twilight. --------------------- Ten minutes earlier As Blood Talon came to he wanted to grab his spinfusor and, lunge at a Starmutt for what they did as he remembered what happened. He just sat there as he thought 'I should be dead with my clan...MY CLAN!' Once again panicking he started to look around and stopped. These furnishings were too well made and...and........soft-. With that he was out again. He awoke to the sound of voices and, what sounded like sandals making there way toward him. So what else is there to do except hold off a group of unknowns? Talon quickly set about his surroundings scouring for anything that could give him a advantage. While he would've loved to face down whoever stole his weapon's he hadn't been about to take a risk with a unknown element. He quickly grabbed a dresser throwing it in front of the door with a slam before readying himself. Because out here in Wilder space...anything is possible. --------------------- "After a rather horrific accident with the cre-" Princess Luna couldn't finish. "What accident princess?" questioned Twilight. "One of our scientists didn't obey our orders of only observing by grabbing one of the objects colored white and blue with some sort of opening facing him. He pulled a small trigger and, well it eviscerated him leaving nothing behind but, the WEAPON that some how survived the blast. It is quite a dangerous creation because everything within a seventeen yard radius had internal trauma. Although everything in a three yard radius from that seventeen was thrown ten to twelve feet." Explained the princess. Twilight was starting to fell rather sick after hearing that. 'Nothing left ,and internal trauma. Even when a fair distance from the core of the explosion some where thrown a distance.' Then it struck her. "Weapon how do you know it was a weapon instead of the obvious? Maybe it was misused also may I know the location of the objects for further evaluation?" "They are located in my tower...you know the tall one with the telescope for star gazing." Luna answered after seeing Twilights questioning gaze. After stopping in front of the door with a sign saying "CAUTION STAY OUT!" "Although you should know the one rule we have that applies to you as well as the other scientists. DON'T TOU-" a crash sounded in the creatures room. After destroying the door because it was found to be blocked on the inside they saw it. The creature no a biped at a full 5" 10' with its golden glowing eyes looking back at them. "STOP IT!!" shouted Luna after it started running for the shattered window. Twilight reached out with a telekinetic spell but, was stunned to see it not even stagger so...she blocked the window with a wardrobe earning the bipeds attention then they were stunned at what happened next. "Bad move freak." ------------------------------ "...freak." He don't have time for these...these things so Talon charged with a fist at the stunned freak. Only for his HuD to flash red from his right he look up at his health bar to see what damage was done and was excited....nadda damn thing but, he was thrown to the side violently "SHAZBOT!!" He quickly got up to see his offender was the one with wings and a horn. 'So her majesty wants to play I will be happy to oblige her.' He thought as he deployed the wrist blade. Again they seem confused at first then a little afraid...good they should be. He charged quickly at her aiming to end this...after all he miss his spinfusor already. Only thing...she dived out of the way as the energy coating on his blade appeared eager to end her. 'A Little tougher than I thought.' Talon turned and was amazed to see a blade that looked to be made out of the night sky appear in her hands. She charged and flicked her wrist sending the sword to bisect Talon only for him to drop low and leg sweep her. When Talon turned to end it he was surprised to see her already rolling out of the way ,but he had to mean business so Talon extend his blade fast enough to nick her in the side and, worst of all the wound cauterized when the energy extended down the blade making her scream. 'Huh I guess she wasn't used to plasma burns looks like she had fainted due to the pain. I have to get to my equipment and fast.' when he turned to eliminate the last one her weird powers were gone Talon turned to see the window clear and, he turned back to her. "Thanks for making this easy." With that Talon jet packed out the window. --------------------------------- "...and that's what happened." Twilight finished her tale of fright as they all looked disturbed except for the two livid princesses and one rainbow maned mare. "How dare that brute assault you little sister. I should have listened to the griffins." Celestia spoke in sympothy her eyes nearly blazing as she turned to look at her younger sister but, there wasn't a mmoment as Shining Armor busted in. No one not even Twilight was excited to see him when they saw the look in his eyes. "Princesses there is an intruder in the lab! With the equipment that creature was caring!" Shouted Shining Armor when he caught his breath. "It has blockaded all entrances and exits and, we are hearing noises coming from the room through the doors!" "Thank you for informing us of this Shining Armor we will need to move with haste if we are to eliminate this threat. Everypony gather round I'm going to teleport us there." With that seven mad mares and one scared Twilight disappeared to face a being not of this world. "Did Twilight have to go?" ------------------------------- *click-SHEANK* 'Ah there is the beautiful sound of my spinfuso-*POP*.....can't I ever be alone!' Talon thought as he swung around and what Talon saw nearly made him double over in hysteria as he kept snickering under his helmet. "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT!" Shouted skittles. 'Great Eagle, I'm going to die of laughter before I even respond to them!' He took a couple of breathes to stop and return to his cold demeanor. He looked at them preparing to warn them. Before he could though a rope lassoed around his midsection Talon looked up only to recieve a fist to the face that sent his helmet flying off. At first he held his breath wondering if the air was toxic and quickly started looking for his helmet. "HAHA looking for this!" Talon turned to see the rainbow manned woman holding his helmet. As soon as he had turned they all gasped 'Take a picture it'll last longer.' He thought as they continued to stare at him. ---------------------------- When the ponies saw the helmet fly off they were wildly suprised. Because after all how can anything develope a steel skin other than a dragon but, what they saw made them gasp. It didnt look all that different from a pony however it had a flat face and had a spiky mane. The eyes were pure untamed gold like the helmets lenses but there were two jagged scars on either side of his face like a rabid tusked beast attacked him. It was then they heard what was like a device spooling up until they heard the roar of flames. Then the next thing they knew Apple Jack was sent through the air with a look of abject fear on her face. What they saw made there jaws drop to the floor the biped was FLYING around the room with twin streams of red following behind him with Apple Jack in tow. "Is this wha' flyin' is like?!" screamed Applejack. "NOT even close sweet heart!" With that the biped started do corkscrews and loops. Some pony mainly Rainbow managed to get out of the way before Applejack collided with the group the lasso tumbling on top of her. When everypony recovered they turned and stopped dead fore there was the creature with the blue object pointed at them. -------------------------------- 'Ha those faces are priceless. I can't kill them yet though I need some answers. Eh I was never the good social guy in the clan.' As he put on his best smile which made them look even more horrified because of Talon's canines he spoke. "My name is Blood Talon. Now I want answers and I want them now!"
