//------------------------------// // Princess Luna // Story: Lightning Wolf // by litestardt //------------------------------// "Fire!" Order Rush The cannons fired at the enemy forces take out only a small fraction of them. "Reload the cannons." Said Rush as he grabbed his crossbow from behind his back. "Um Rush they have Pegasi and Griffins in the air." Said Wolf "Get those cannons loaded and Captain Cloudhunter take a brigade of men that can fly and take down those enemies." Said Rush "Why should I be taking orders from you?" Asked Cloudhunter "Since I'm a higher rank officer than you. Azrael!" Said Rush "Yes Sir." Said Azrael "Go with Cloudhunter and his men to take on their flyboys." Said Rush "I understand sir but what are you gonna do?" Asked Azrael Rush was looking down his scope for his long crossbow and said "I'm going to command the troops." As he pulled the trigger which launch an arrow at high speed into a pony's head. "Haha head shot!" Said Rush "Sir the cannons are ready to fire on your mark." Said Royal Guard "Wait why aren't you guys already firing?" Asked Rush as he shot another arrow into a pony "Since we are waiting for your mark." Said the Royal Guard "Well fire all cannons and when one is ready to be fire just fire." Said Rush "Yes sir. Fire All Cannons!" Yelled the royal guard The cannons fired again taking out some of the enemies ground forces. "It looks like they don't even care for their loses." Said Cloudhunter "Cloudhunter get the f..." Rush's voice was roared over by a cannon firing. "Charlie Company in the air now!" Order Cloudhunter Forty Pegasi took flight into the air when Cloudhunter gave the order. Azrael looked around and saw 4 griffins looked at the leaving Pegasi. "You four are with me." Azrael said as he pointed at them The four griffins nodded their head and took flight behind Azrael who was joining Charlie Company to give them a hand. Azrael was flying with them when one of the Pegasus got his wing shot though with magic. Azrael grabbed him and flew him toward Litestar. "He needs medical attention now." Said Azrael "Alright you just keep fighting." Said Litestar Azrael then flew to Rush to tell him about the trouble. "Why the hell are they flying like that?" Asked Rush as Azrael landed "We have unicorns on the ground shooting us with their magic." Said Azrael Rush took a look with his scope and notice that Azrael was telling the truth. "I got an idea how to take them out but it's crazy." Said Rush "Well let me hears it." Said Azrael "Are you worried for the royal guards?" Asked Rush "Yes of course I am they're just a punch of kids still." Said Azrael "Well that's change for you but the idea is to drop the cannons balls on them." Said Rush "What the hell are you insane? I expected a plan like that from Wolf." Said Azrael "Hey my plans may be reckless but they work." Said Wolf as he focused and troops coming to the HQ "Yes it is crazy but think about it when they shoot it out the air all that sharpen will rain hell on them." Said Rush Azrael thought for a moment and realized he was correct. "Alright then we'll do that then." Said Azrael as he flew away. At the Canterlot castle The princesses were watching from the throne room balcony and couldn't believe that their was war here in Equestria a country that's been in nothing but peace for the most part. "How do you think they are holding up sister?" Asked Luna "I do not know but I fear that this may be a trap." Said Celestia "A trap? Set up by who?" Asked Shining "Our enemies might want us separated from the battle." Said Celestia "I doubt that princess." Said Rainbow "Why do you say that Rainbow?" Asked Cadance "Since the elite six will know if it's a trap and come to our rescue." Said Twilight "I hope your right Twilight." Said Celestia as turned back to face the battle field. On the field "Damn these guys don't give up do they?" Said Wolf "Wow you sound like Sev now." Said Rush "Would you keep firing!" Said Wolf Wolf and Rush were trying to hold the ground forces off from breaching the gates with a group of Royal Guards and USN army men. Their efforts seemed worthless since they just get coming non-stop. Azrael finally found the cannon balls and grabbed two of them and flew where the unicorns were shooting at them. "Where were you we lost four men already I'm calling my troops back." Said Cloudhunter "No not yet I got an idea." Azrael said while showing Cloudhunter the cannon balls "What do you plan to do with those?" Asked Cloudhunter "This." Said Azrael as he drop one of the cannon balls. The cannon ball fell and was shot out of the air by a spell but the shrapnel from the cannon ball rained onto the group of unicorns. A couple of the unicorns not charging a spell or firing at that time used a shield to protect themselves. Azrael dropped a second one but this time shot it with an explosive arrow and rained down on the remaining unicorns. "I can't believe that worked." Said Azrael "What's your orders now sir?" Asked Cloudhunter "We take out their air troops." Said Azrael as he went full speed into the enemies flying group The enemy was losing guys in the sky fast since of the USN armor for griffins made their wings sharp so it can slice though their enemies easily. Azrael notice though they had a number advantage and they were losing a guy for four they took out which wasn't good. "Hey Cloud I got another idea." Said Azrael "What is it?" Asked Cloudhunter "Fly them into the city." Said Azrael "Are you crazy we put citizens in danger and the princesses in danger too." Said Cloudhunter "Don't worry I got a plan." Said Azrael Cloudhunter nod his head and order the troops to fly into the city. The enemies followed behind them not knowing that they were heading into a trap. As the enemies chased after the platoon of men all of sudden a griffin came out of a building killing two pegasus with his wings, another with his tail, and two more with his talons. The enemies troop turned around to see what happen to their men but nothing was there. The captain of the group order them to search the buildings. As the enemies searched the building they were taken out one by one in till the captain was left. The captain saw Azrael fly right at him and shot an arrow at him but before the arrow hit Azrael, he teleported right above the captain and stab him though the head with his tail. "Well that takes out there men in the air." Said Azrael to himself Back at the royal guard HQ "Damn they are too close to use the cannons on them." Said Wolf "Tell me about it." Said Rush "It looks like they started to climb the wall too." Said Wolf as he stabbed an enemy off the wall "I got an idea but I need the captain here." Said Rush A Pegasus flew in at that moment to speak to Rush. "Sir we got a problem." Said the Pegasus "What is it soldier?" Asked Rush while still firing arrows from his sniper "We have guys climbing the wall." Said the Pegasus "Tell me something I don't know." Said Rush "and Captain Knight Sword was killed." Said the Pegasus "Were you under his command troop?" Asked Rush "Yes sir I was." Said the Pegasus "What's your name?" Asked Rush "Sir my name is Zone Hunter." Said Zone Hunter Rush turned to face Zone and realized he was taller than the average Pegasus just like him but he was built like a tank. "Well congrats you just been promoted as captain and you first job is to get three to four Cannons to face the front gate." Said Rush "Yes sir but if I may ask why do you need the cannons there sir?" Asked Zone Hunter "Just in case." Said Rush As he said that the brand new captain flew off to let his new men know what to do with the cannons. "Um sir what is that?" Asked Unicorn "What is what?" Asked Rush as he turned around to see what the unicorn was talking about. There was Puma with a mini cannon on his right shoulder and on his left looked like a gatling gun for arrows. "You got to be F....""Everyone get done!" Order Wolf as the puma let the gatling gun fire at the top of the wall killing alot of soldiers. "Celestia damn it first we can't use the cannons and now we got a puma with a giant gun." Said Rush as he hid behind a wall with Wolf The gatling gun stop firing and they took a peak over the wall to see what was happening. When they looked they saw the puma was aiming the mini cannon at the gate. Rush eyes widen when he realized what was about to happen. "Everyone get the out of....." Rush and Wolf were sent flying from the explosion and knocked out with severe wounds. Back at the castle "Ahhh" shouted Celestia "Princess Celestia are you ok?" Asked Twilight "Yeah just had a headache for some reason." Said Celestia "Well ok." Said Twilight "Everyone get in position someone is here." Said Shining "How do you know?" Asked Luna When she said that a wolf attack one of the guards and killing him by slicing his throat. "Serpent Fang!" Yelled Shining "Oh sorry was he a friend?" Asked the wolf "Surround him men!" Order Shining The guards surrounded the wolf and pointed their spears at him. "You are under arrest for a murder of the royal guard." Said Shining "I'm sorry prince but you can't arrest me it's against my lords wishes." Said the wolf "What do you mean?" Asked Shining "My orders were to go to the castle and capture the two princesses but I see their are two more that I must capture." Said the wolf "Over my dead body." Said a guard "That can be arranged." Said the wolf Back at the Royal guard HQ Wolf was just waking up to see Litestar using her magic to heal Rush's wounds. "Is he going to be ok sis?" Asked Wolf as he got up. Litestar looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I don't know Wolf, I'm trying everything right now to keep him alive." Said Litestar Wolf couldn't believe what Litestar was saying, he didn't know if he could lose his closet friend. "Sir the enemies destroyed the gates." Said Zone Hunter coming towards them Wolf wasn't paying any attention he was just looking at Rush hoping that he would get up and be ok but he was bleeding pretty bad. Wolf was snap out of his trance by Zone Hunter that came to them. "Sir what do we do?" Asked Zone Hunter "I don't know what to do?" Said Wolf with fear in his eyes "Sorry sir I didn't catch that." Said Zone Hunter "You have the cannons where I told you to put them, right captain?" Asked Rush who just woke up "Rush your alive." Said Wolf Rush started to slowly get up on his feet. "Oh course I am what kind of commander would I be if I died from that." Said Rush All of sudden Rush felt forelegs wrapped around him. When he look back to see who has hugging him, he saw Litestar crying into his back. "Promise me you will never come that close to death again." Said Litestar with tears in her eyes Rush smiled and put a hoof on her head and whisper "I promise my love." Litestar looked up to Rush and smiled. She let go of him knowing they still had a battle to win. Wolf knew what Rush said to his sister but decided not to say anything. "So Captain you have the cannons in position right?" Asked Rush "Yes sir we have the cannons pointed at the gate that was destroyed." Said Zone Hunter "Then get down there and fire when you see them enter though there." Said Rush "Yes sir." Said Zone Hunter Zone Hunter flew off to command the troops by the cannon. When he left Speedy arrived on the battle field with Azrael coming from the other direction. "Wolf, Rush are you two alright?" Asked Azrael "Yeah we're fine but what about you man." Asked Rush noticing all the blood on Azrael "Don't worry their air troops are gone and Cloudhunter and his men are coming soon after they integrate a survivor." Said Azrael "Well I don't think they need to do that since this is just a desecration to capture the princesses." Said Speedy "How do you know?" Asked Rush "We got a message from Shining saying they are under attack by one wolf." Said Speedy Wolf heard all he needed to hear as he headed to the castle. "Where is he going?" Asked Speedy "To the castle and we will be heading there soon once we get the enemy troops out of the base." Said Rush picking up is sniper crossbow. The four of them rushed down towards the battle inside the base. Alot of royal guards were being killed but with the USN here it was an even fight for now. Rush made it towards the cannons that were firing towards the broken gate. "Sir we are too close so the cannon balls just hit them." Said Zone Hunter "Well I know that's why I said four of them." Said Rush Litestar was now fighting against the enemies using her dagger and magic to take out as many as she could. An enemy was about to strike Litestar from behind but Speedy tackled him and shot him in the face. "Thanks for the protection Speedy." Said Litestar "No problem, we all have to watch each others back." Said Speedy Azrael was heading to Rush who was now perched up on the back wall so he could snipe the enemies. "Well lucky you are here and not down there sir." Said Azrael as he landed "Well shouldn't you be fighting down there." Said Rush Before Azrael could reply a unicorn appeared a couple feet from them charging up a spell to hit them with. Azrael took one of the knives on him and threw it at the unicorn. The knife landed in between the unicorn eyes and killed him instantly. "Well who would watch your back then sir." Said Azrael The battle was becoming harder and harder to deal with each passing second. Azrael then notice something that he wish he was dreaming. "Um Rush we got a problem." Said Azrael "What's the problem?" Asked Rush not looking in the same direction as Azrael "You might want to see for yourself." Said Azrael When Rush looked to see the problem, he saw a puma with a minigun and a magic pack on his back. "You got to be kidding me." Said Rush "Is that a magic fire minigun Rush?" Asked Azrael "Yeah. Everyone get away from the puma!" Yelled Rush towards the troops. The troops looked at the puma and saw what he was carrying and wonder what it was. The puma but a grin on his face and the gun started to rotate and shoot magical beams at the troops. Royal and USN troops were being shot down like flies. Rush and Azrael took cover behind the wall they were at. "How are we going to kill him with that?" Asked Azrael "Don't worry I got a plan but I need you to distract him." Said Rush "Wait why me?" Asked Azrael "Cause your the only one of us who can teleport with out a spell." Said Rush "Yeah so but why else?" Asked Azrael "Cause you can fly over him and distract him." Said Rush Azrael thought about it for a moment then nodded his head in agreement. Rush saw Azrael fly into the sky on the puma started to fire upon Azrael. Azrael then vanish right before the beams hit him and appeared behind the puma and notice how thick his armor was. Azrael fly back so he could dodge the puma's swing at him. Azrael saw the gun rotate again and knew he was going to die. Rush shot an arrow into the magic pack on the back of the boom which made the gun not fire temporarily. Azrael took this chance to fly into cover. The puma looked towards Rush and pointed his gun at him ready to fire. Rush gave a little hoof gesture to the puma. The gun started to rotate and before it could fire an explosion happen where the arrow was killing the puma and destroying the gun. Azrael flew back to Rush. "You planned that all along didn't you." Said Azrael "Of course. The only thing that was thing to take out that much armor was an explosive arrow to the magic pack." Said Rush Litestar, Speedy, and the royal captains all came to Rush position. "It looks like they are retreating after that Rush." Said Litestar looking at the enemy force running back where they came from. "Yeah I guess they lost to many troops." Said Speedy "That or what ever they came here for, they got or failed." Said Rush "Well we also lost alot of troops sir." Said Cloudhunter "How many?" Asked Azrael "We have 139 wounded, 145 dead, and 4 of them were captains." Said a unicorn captain "How many captains are dead?" Asked Cloudhunter "3 died and one wounded." Said a earth pony captain "Well one of those captains were replaced already the other two have to be and Litestar make sure that one wounded captain makes a full recovery." Said Rush Litestar nodded and rushed to the infirmary on the base to help the medical team. "Who replaced one of the captains?" Asked Cloudhunter "I did sir. My name is Zone Hunter." Said Zone Hunter "Well congrats to you on your promotion." Said Cloudhunter A griffin landed by Rush and went to talk to him. "Commander our troop status report." Said the griffin giving a clipboard to Rush "So we lost 10 men and 22 are wounded. Thank you sergeant and get our wounded to the infirmary, Litestar is there now." Said Rush looking over the clipboard "Yes sir right away sir." Said the griffin with a salute "Well now what do we do?" Asked Azrael "We head to the castle while Litestar and Sev stay here with the captains." Said Rush The three elite members flew towards the castle. Rush was hoping it wasn't to late and that Wolf would be able to keep his temper down. 15 min before the battle ended Wolf enter the castle to notice it was unguarded the whole time. His mind raced to the worst case scenario and he headed straight for the throne room. As he enter the throne room he saw most of the protection team dead on the ground. Shining, Celestia, and Luna were fighting against a wolf. Wolf also took notice to the armor and weapon that the two princesses were using. Celestia was wearing gold armor and had a spear mix with a battle axe for her weapon. Luna was wearing a blue blackish armor and used a sword to fight. Wolf also saw that Shining was still in his normal armor but was using a crystal sword. Wolf turned his attention to the wolf that was silver coated and used a katana as his weapon. Wolf saw Cadance inside a shield that Twilight put up for her, her friends, and the wounded guards. (A/N: The princesses armor and weapons are from fall of the crystal empire.) Wolf saw that Twilight was safe so he decided to give a hand to the three that were fighting the wolf. "Shining get down!" Yelled Wolf as he jumped into the air. Shining looked behind him to see Wolf ready to use something. Shining jumped backwards and Wolf let his fire breathe do its job. The wolf dodge the move in time and decided to stand still and talk. "Well well look who we have joining us the royal dog. Did you come here to protect them now." Said the wolf Wolf heard the voice of the wolf and couldn't believe what he was hearing. "This is impossible you are dead." Said Wolf "Oh so you remember my voice that's nice but do you remember my name because that's the least you can do for the people you've killed." Said the wolf Twilight heard Wolf's voice and was joyed to hear his voice knowing he kept him promise but right when the other wolf said that he killed him Twilight was shocked. "Yeah yeah I remember your name." Said Wolf This sent everyone else in shock to hear Wolf say that so casually like he doesn't care at all. "So then Lightning what's my name." Said the silver wolf "Your name is Fenrir." Said Wolf "Good so you remember your victims but do you remember Shine Flower?" Said Fenrir Wolf started to fear that Fenrir knew about this secret and was going to tell everyone in this throne room. "Oh don't worry I won't tell them just yet. I first want my revenge!" Said Fenrir as he charged after Wolf with his katana Wolf pulled out his sword with one paw to block the attack. "I see your still using a katana." Said Wolf "I see your still a weapon for the USN to use." Said Fenrir Wolf slash towards Fenrir direction who dodge it with ease. Celestia charged right for Fenrir who blocked her attack. Shining came from behind and try to stab Fenrir but he kick Shining which sent him flying. Then he used a black magic spell to send Celestia fly across the throne room. Luna went after Fenrir next who he knocked out. "Good I got the princess of the night I my paws." Said Fenrir "I won't let get away with it." Said Wolf as he began to charge Fenrir opened a portal and threw Luna inside and went back to attacking the three. Wolf was caught of guard in what Fenrir did and got knocked towards Twilight's shield. "Wolf! are you ok?" Asked Twilight right when Wolf hit the shield "Yeah I'm fine Twi you just stay in that shield." Said Wolf "Yeah just stay in it so I can kill you alot easier when I'm done with him." Said Fenrir Right when he said that something snapped in Wolf. Wolf turned his head with anger now showing his fangs towards Fenrir. Wolf used his magic now to attack Fenrir. Fenrir dodge without a sweat. Wolf came after him now with only his bare paws and not with his sword. Fenrir took this as an opportunity to kill Wolf so he swung his katana at Wolf but was shocked to see what happen. Wolf caught the katana in his mouth, he lifted his paw that was giving of electricity and shot little lightning bolts toward Fenrir who let go of his katana because he got hit. Wolf spit out the katana and was still angered at Fenrir. "Where is Luna?" Asked Wolf "With my lord now and the only way to retrieve her is to go to our main base and take us all on." Said Fenrir with an evil laugh Wolf attack Fenrir again with lightning but Fenrir used a shield this time to protect him. Wolf then charged after the shield and tried to claw at it but that didn't work. "You can't break this shield unless you have solar magic." Said Fenrir As if on queue Fenrir was hit by a solar beam. Wolf looked to see who did that and saw princess Celestia up with some blood on her coat from her injuries. "So like that l, you mean assassin." Said Celestia Fenrir got up and was now angry at the princess for doing that. Before he could attack the throne room opened again to show Rush, Speedy, and Azrael entering. Fenrir saw the odds he was against and knew he couldn't win. "Well looks like the monster squad showed up and now it's my time to leave." Said Fenrir as he enter a portal Wolf charged after him in blind fury. The portal closed on Wolf before he could unleash another attack. Wolf hit the ground and was angry that Fenrir got away from him. Rush saw how who was acting now in anger and thanked Celestia that he got here in time. Rush went over to Wolf to calm him down after awhile Wolf's was back to his calm self again. "Was that Fenrir?" Asked Azrael "Yeah it was." Said Wolf "I thought you killed him." Said Speedy "Well I did but he didn't want to stay dead it looks like." Said Wolf "Well lucky we got here when we did." Said Rush "I agree I don't know how much longer I could have hold my shield." Said Twilight as she drop her shield "I'm glad that you were able to make that shield Twilight but I'm sad to say that they have Luna." Said Celestia "What!? They got Luna." Said Rush "Yeah he knocked her out and threw her in a portal." Said Wolf "Yeah and he was good." Said Shining getting though the ruble he was in. "Is everyone else ok though?" Asked Rush "Twilight and I are fine." Said Cadance "We all fine." Said Applejack pointed to the other elements "Well that's good that you guys didn't get taken either." Said Azrael "Good!? good!? how is this any good!?" Asked Rainbow in rage "Alot of ponies just died today and princess Luna was capture and all you can say is that it's good that the others weren't taken." "Rainbow calm down darling." Said Rarity "No Azrael as been a jerk ever since he's gotten here and now he says that." Said Rainbow "Rainbow your taking it the wrong way." Said Twilight "No I'm not all he does is make fun of the royal guards and now he says it's good." Said Rainbow "You have me all wrong Rainbow Dash." Said Azrael "Really cause it sounds different to me." Said Rainbow "I'm saying it's good that they didn't get all four princesses since that means we can protect them while sending a search team for their main base." Said Azrael Rainbow was shocked to hear Azrael way of putting and now she felt like the jerk. "Rainbow you should apologize for your rude behavior." Said Rarity "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you Azrael." Said Rainbow "Nah its ok it's not as bad as that asshole coming right now." Said Azrael as he pointed towards the window Everyone went to look at what he was pointing at and realized that there was an airship coming towards the city. "It's about time are reinforcements arrive." Said Rush "Well lets go greet him it's been awhile since we saw him last time." Said Wolf Everyone followed Rush out the castle and to Zeus, Litestar, and Sev who were waiting for the airship to land. When it finally landed a bunch of USN troops came off the ship and stood still waiting for their orders. That's when a gray wolf came off the ship. The wolf had a scar across his left eye and also had half his tail cut off. "General Tiberius Kanos it's good to have you here." Said Zeus "It my pleasure to give the elite six back up when they need it." Said General Kanos "Yeah about the back up thing you could have been here about 25 minutes earlier." Said Azrael "Well your peachy as ever Azrael and have you even tried to argue with the councils before." Said Kanos "Oh I had to get permission to come on field trip by my mommy and daddy." Said Azrael "Azrael shut up!" Said Rush "What do you mean argue against the council?" "They wanted to send Bravo company but I told them that my company should be the one going and not them." Said Kanos "How they take it?" Asked Wolf "They ask me if I had a problem with authority." Said Kanos "And what did you say?" Asked Litestar "I told them no I don't have problem with authority, I just have a problem when I'm not the authority." Said Kanos "Wow you told the council that." Said Sev "Yeah and they allowed me to come here." Said Kanos "And this is why I hate politics." Said Wolf "Well get your men settle in and while we discuss something with the princesses and Zeus." Said Rush "Lead the way Rush." Said Kanos The elites with the general and Zeus went to the princesses to discuss a plan. "So princess Luna was taken." Said Zeus "Well if they are after the princesses at least we know their targets." Said Kanos "Sorry and you are?" Asked Shining Armor "Oh sorry about that I'm General Tiberius Kanos but you may just call me Kanos." Said Kanos "He is the youngest general to ever live in the USN and he is also know as the iron wolf." Said Zeus "Why are you know for that?" Asked Twilight "Since I should have died about six times now but the enemy can never finish me off." Said Kanos "Ok now that the introduction is over lets get the issue on hand." Said Rush "Alright so one princess has been taken and we know that they are after the other three." Said Kanos "So what do you think is best course of action General?" Asked Zeus "I think we need to guards the other three with a personal guard and send a scout team looking for their main base." Said Kanos "I agree but I believe the elements of harmony will need protection too." Said Celestia "So assign a guard for each of them then." Said Kanos "I will be Twilights personal guard." Said Wolf "No I will assign Twilight her personal guards!" Said Celestia anger towards Wolf The room was met with quiet from Celestia's outburst. "I think Wolf should protect Twilight." Said Cadance Everyone turned to face her wondering why she was taking Wolf's side and not Celestia's. "Why do you think that princess?" Asked Kanos "Well cause Wolf held his own against Fenrir when he attack us and well he's already in Ponyville with her it might be the right choice just to have all six elites protect one of the elements of harmony." Said Cadance "Wait Fenrir was the one that attacked you guys?" Asked Kanos "Yes he was why do you know him?" Asked Twilight "Yes I do. Lets just say I would not be the wolf I am today if it wasn't for him." Said Kanos "So you all know him personally then?" Asked Celestia "No the elites don't know him personally for them he was one of the biggest threat to the USN but to me he was like an older brother that I never had." Said Kanos Wolf put his paw on Kanos shoulder to comfort him. Kanos now knew what exactly they were going against and was glad he came instead of Bravo company. "Well if we going against Fenrir I think Wolf should protect Twilight." Said Kanos "I agree and Azrael will protect Fluttershy, Speedy Pinkie pie, Litestar Rarity, Sev Applejack, and I will protect Rainbow Dash." Said Rush "Celestia do you agree with this?" Asked Zeus Celestia was thinking about what Rush just said. While Celestia was think Twilight was hoping that she would allow it since that means more time with Wolf. Finally Celestia pick her head up and sighed. "Alright we will have it like that then." Said Celestia "Now about your personal guards." Said Kanos "Do not worry General I have Cloudhunter and Fireblaze to protect me while Cadance has her husband and the crystal guards." Said Celestia "Alright then but I would like with your permission to send some of my troops with Cadance and some with you Celestia just for extra protection." Said Kanos "Well what about Twilight wouldn't she need extra troops?" Asked Shining "That is why I'm taking the of my men with me to Ponyville." Said Kanos "Will your men be on their uniform?" Asked Celestia "No they will look like tourist or residents make the enemy think we only have our force here." Said Kanos "Alright and what about this scout party?" Asked Celestia "I believe Delta can handle that with Captain Zone Hunter and some of his men help." Said Rush "You want one of captains to go on a scouting mission that might kill him. After the amount of Captains we lost in this battle I'm not authorizing it." Said Shining "Well Captain to be all fair that is war for you. War will take away lifes, split families apart, and worst of all is that some citizens will die from the crossfire." Said Kanos Twilight and the girls were shocked in horror how this general just made war out to be like. They started to shake in fear that their families might be caught in the crossfire. "Is there any way we can protect the citizens from war?" Asked Cadance "No there is no way Cadance." Said Celestia "I thought I would never wear this full time again but since this is a war now I will lead my troops." As Celestia said that, her gold armor appeared again on her while the battle axe she had was now in her right fore hoof. "If they want a war then we will give it to them. You have my authority to do what you like General and I'm giving you full command of the Royal guards." Said Celestia "Don't worry ma'am you won't regret this decision." Said Kanos "I better not or else Equestria will fall and it will be your fault." Said Celestia as she left them. "Well she was alot nicer than Azrael at least." Said Kanos "Hey no time for jokes now that we have our orders we should all head back to our homes." Said Rush "I agree with that." Said Shining "All right then I'll give the men their order place a security detail on Cadance, Celestia, and of course you Zeus." Said Kanos Zeus nodded his head knowing that the general was only doing his job. "Aright then we will see you in pony Ville then Kanos." Said Rush as he walked away with his men and the mane six. "So I think we should all stay at the place of who we are protecting." Said Rush "Agreed sir." Said the elite six "Alright then lets head back then Rainbow." Said Rush leaving with Rainbow Fluttershy, Azrael, Speedy, and Pinkie all followed Rush. "Rarity I hope you don't mind." Said Litestar "Not at all darling. We should probably catch up." Said Rarity trotting away Sev and Applejack looked at each other and nodded to follow the two girls that just left. That left Twilight and Wolf standing there alone. "Well thank you for volunteering to protect me Wolf." Twilight said with a blush "I will always protect you even if Celestia tried to send me to the moon I would find my way back just for you." Said Wolf which made Twilight blush more "Well shall we go my princess." "Yes lets go." Said Twilight Little did they know someone was watching from the distant. "Wolf what do you think your doing. This was not part of the plan." Said Rush to himself before heading back to Rainbow's side.
