The following day, Canterlot was bright and sunny. Celestia walked down the halls of the castle, and could hear the sound of two little foals already filling the air. As she looked out at the royal garden and saw Nightmare Moon and Blueblood playing happily. “He’s coming to you, Moony.” Blueblood said, as he pointed at something that Celestia couldn’t see, but then watched as a little fox cub went running up to Nightmare Moon and jumped playfully in front of her, as she held a ball covered in stars over her head.
“Catch, Bluey.” as Nightmare Moon tossed the ball it pounced, getting the fox cubs attention and running after it only to jump on it and roll a few times before it and the ball collided with Blueblood.
“Oh dear, is everyone alright?” Celestia said, as she teleported to the scene on to find Blueblood still on top of the fox cub.
“I’m fine,… OH NO!” Blueblood jumped off the ground and looked at the fox cub laying still. “Oh no, I hurt Sly...”
“You didn’t.” Nightmare Moon crawled up and looked down at the fox cub and nudged it a few times getting it to let out a little whimper before it started to move. “Blueblood, be more careful.” Nightmare Moon said as she picked up the cub in her forelegs and held it close. “Poor little Sly, did big mean Blueblood hurt you?”
“I didn’t mean to, honest, please don’t be angry.” Blueblood leaned in close only to be shocked when Sly jumped out of Nightmare Moon's forelegs and shack a little before he saw the ball and went after it again.
“He’s O.K.” Both foals cheered as they started to give chase as Sly kept running with the ball pushing it with his head.
“Alright you two have fun, and stay out of trouble.” Celestia said, not really sure if they heard her but knew that her royal guards would keep them safe, as would their new little friend. It wasn’t until later that day as Celestia presided over the day court that she had a new surprise.
“NOW INTRODUCING!” The royal crier was quickly silenced by two ponies dressed head to hoof in cloths and with bags over their heads.
“No names you fool, we don’t want anyone to know it’s us.” Celestia motioned for her guards to let the two pass, more curious than anything else. “Oh great and powerful princess me and my wife have been struck down by a cruel , and vile magic user, he has disfigured my wife and myself and all we know is that are attacker left this.” with that one of the ponies pulled out a white crystal and laid it on the ground. “Please your majesty, we know you to be a kind and wise princess, and we are hoping you can undo what this monster has brought upon us.” Celestia levitated the Crystal into the air, and brought it close, until she could words slowly started to appear.
“To see each other plain?” Celestia looked at the crystal and then set it down and pondered what to words meant for a few moments before she looked at the two covered ponies. “Remove the bags from your heads.”
“B-but princess, we are too disfigured for anyone to look upon us right now would strike them down in fright.”
“I understand your warning and I assure you what you look like will not strike anyone in this room down with fright, now please remove your bags.” with that both ponies looked at one another and then did as they had been commanded. The nobles in the room gasped as they looked upon the two before them, and watched as they bowed their heads in shame.
“I see… Well you are correct, I can undo what has been done to you, but I will also need to consult with my sister in this matter seeing as she knows the one who did it to you, and would be able to find out why he has done it.”
“W-who has done this princess? Who has done this to my wife? Who has stripped her of her radiant beauty and turned her into the mutated disfigured old hag that now stands before us?” The stallion said, as he pointed to the mare that stood beside him.
“Oh you will find out this evening when you return.”
“But can you not remove this curse from us now? So that we might face our attacker with no shame.”
“That would not be wise, you see the magic that is afflicting you is Kitsune magic, and it’s because you’ve somehow either wronged him, or have just gathered his attention, and to show him that you would try to get away from what he deems a punishment will only make him come after you even worst. Be thankful that this is all he has done to you, I have known a few Kitsune in my time, and a few would not hesitate to take your life to try and teach you a lesson. We will resolve all of this, during the night court, until then I would suggest going on about your day.”
“G-going about our day, looking like these monsters, looking like these freaks of nature, we only ventured out of our house in hopes that you would undo this spell placed upon us.” Celestia could understand now why a certain Kitsune would have placed a spell upon these two, but tried to maintain control as to not laugh at what they where saying about them selves in their current state.
“Very well then, you may remain in the palace for the day, but I warn you not to try and undo what has been done, for a war with this kitsune can never be won.” both ponies bowed and then placed the bags back on their heads and left the throne room only to be showed to another room where they could rest.
Elsewhere Nightmare Moon and Blueblood played happily with their new little friend. “Hey Sly over here.” The little fox turned and looked at Nightmare Moon. “Come on this way.” with that Sly walked forward and stopped in front of her. “O.K. now hold still.” with that Nightmare Moon reached over and placed a daisy crown on Sly’s head. “I now dub thee; Prince Sly.”
“Prince Sly? Blueblood crawled up and looked at Sly and then smiled. “Oh I got a great idea.”
“You did?”
“Yeah we can play castle, you can be the queen, I will be the knight and Sly can be your prince.” Nightmare Moon smiled slightly as she rubbed her two forehooves together.
“Oh, I like to be queen.” As the three started to play Spitfire walked up.
“Well hello there you two.”
“Three.” Blueblood pointed to Sly getting Spitfire to smile.
“Oh how could I have missed such a handsome little fox.” Spitfire leaned down to Sly getting him to yelp before running behind Nightmare Moon. “Oh I didn’t mean to scare him, besides I did bring some more play mates.” with that Sly stuck his head out from behind Nightmare Moon and watched as Spitfire motioned for her husband to walk up with two little foals. “I would like to introduce you to Night Mist, and Sky Hooves. I hope you can all be friends while me and my husband go and talk with Celestia about the next Wonderbolts show.” Spitfire then turned to her two precious foals and kissed them both on the forehead. “Now you two be good while mommy and daddy are gone.”
“O’Tay mommy.” Night-Mist said, as he smiled at Spitfire.
“We’ll be good.” Sky Hooves said, as he smiled at his new brother. It was after the two Wonderbolts left that Nightmare Moon and Blueblood crawled up to their two new play mates. “Hello, I’m Sky Hooves.”
“And I’m Night Mist.”
“Well I’m Nightmare Moon, and this is Blueblood.” It was then that all four of the foals heard a low whimper getting Nightmare Moon to smile slightly. “And this is Sly.” Both Night Mist and Sky Hooves looked at the little fox and leaned in close getting the fox to back up slightly before running behind Nightmare moon again. “You’re scaring him.”
“We’re sorry.”
“O.K. but Moony and I was about to play castle want to play?”
“How do you play?”
“Well Moony is Queen, Sly is the prince, and the rest of us will be royal guards, but I’m the captain of the guard, and we go out on quest that our queen sends us on, and fend off evil monsters.”
“What kind of Evil monsters?” with this Blueblood had to think for a minute, before he smiled sheepishly.
“Like golems and timberwolfs things like that.” Nightmare Moon said, as she looked at Night Mist and Sky Hooves.
“Oh… So you just tell us what to do right?”
“Yep, because I’m queen.”
“I guess that’s alright, what’s our first quest?”
“Well your first quest… Oh I know, you have to travel deep into the heart of the castle to find the chamber of cooking where you will find the jar a sweet disk.” all three colts looked at Nightmare Moon slightly confused. “Oh come one, I’m trying to make it sound exciting, the chief made fresh cookies this morning, see if you can get some.”
“I don’t know. Mommy said, to stay out of trouble.”
“Yeah Moony, if we get busted.”
“Fine, how about… Oh I know up in the play room I have a toy crown and wand, can you go get those?”
“Oh a quest to retrieve the lost jewels of the kingdom, now that sounds more like it, but we must be careful not to run into any monsters on the way.” Blueblood explained as he looked at his fellow guards. “Let us be off.” As the other two cheered and started to follow Nightmare moon picked Sly up and set him on her back.
“Let’s see if we can get some of those cookies.” While Nightmare Moon headed for the kitchen with her trusted new friend, our three brave junior royal guards headed down the hall for the play room that was 5 stories up.
“Come on we just have to climb this mountain.” Blueblood said, as he looked at Night Mist and Sky Hooves.
“No we can fly you up sir.” Night Mist suggested only getting Blueblood to shake his head.
“It’s too dangerous, the winds are too strong, because we don’t want to draw to much attention to our selves. The ones that store the royal jewels might have them heavily guarded.”
“Good point, let’s start climbing.” with that our brave trio started to climb up the dangerous mountain(/stairs). While elsewhere Spitfire and Soarin' sat with Princess Celestia enjoying a casual conversation.
“So you say that your two foals were left on your door step with a note from the mother saying that she couldn’t take care of them.”
“Yes your majesty.”
“Well then I should warn you to be careful, that’s almost like what happened with Rarity, and her little Onyx has shown to be very special.”
“In what way, princess?” Soarin' asked, as he looked at Celestia confused.
“The young foal has shown great power, even flight and more, though he appears only to be a normal earth pony.”
“Interesting, but are two haven’t shown anything like that.”
“Perhaps or perhaps that just means you don’t know what special gift they have yet.” As a royal guard ran into the room he gulped slightly as he looked at Princess Celestia, and her guest.
“Your majesty, the queen of the dragons is here with her son, she says that there might be a great threat in Equestria, one that bested her son and two of his friends in battle.” Celestia nodded a few times before standing up.
“Please show her and her son to the throne room, and clear out all the nobles, I am sorry Spitfire, it seems more pressing matters call.”
“It’s alright Princess, would you mind if we sit in, if this is a threat then the Wonderbolts should know about it.”
“Yes that would be for the best, and do not worry about your foals, nothing in this castle can harm them, and the royal guards know to keep an eye on them.”
“Thank you your highness.” It was only moments later that the three found them selves looking at two pony size dragons. “Ah T-mate I would say this is a pleasant surprise but I hear that you have a dire warning to give?”
“Perhaps my friend, but perhaps this is just a case of some creature giving my son a thrashing, also this is about him crossing the changeling boarders.”
“I see.” Celestia turned to the red dragon that didn’t seem all that worried about the charges being brought against him. “Is this also the same dragon that attacked my student and a few of her friends, when they tried to retrieve young Spike?”
“The very same.” with that T-mate pushed her son forward shocking the drake. “I warned you that you would have to face this before we came.”
“Fine.” with that Celestia looked down at the young dragon, before her horn and eyes started to shine with a golden light.
“Calm yourself I only wish to see the events from your point of view.” with that an image appeared above everyone and they could see the event’s unfold from Garble’s point of view.
******************************
“My name is Shadow Moon.” A humanoid like creature dressed in metal armor with emerald green eyes on his helmet said, as he walked towards Garble. “I give you this one chance to run, leave this place and never return, this is you only warning.”
“Boys, I think it’s time to teach this little bug a lesson.”
******************************
What followed was pure chaos in itself as Garble got into a fight, but what they did note was a few of the tricks in Shadow Moon’s arsenal, he was unaffected by dragon fire, could take to the air like a rocket and hover in place wielded emerald green lighting, and last but not least his strength as one point they watched as he was spinning two of Garble’s friends by their tails just before he released them causing them to crash into Garble. “It seems that this creature was much more then you bargained for young drake, but let us see what brought this on, why would one try to fight three dragons at once.” As Celestia went further back she watched as Garble pinned a Changeling to the ground with his claw and threatened to rip off its wings for fun. “I see.”
“GARBLE!”
“It’s just a dumb bug, what’s the big deal?” Celestia wasn’t amused by this statement and then looked to T-mate.
“I will send word to the Changeling hive, their queen will not be happy about this.”
“I understand, and she will decide his fate.”
“She will make her opinion known but she will not decide his fate, as for now though your son will have to remain here.”
“I understand, Celestia, I am in your debt for this favor.”
“FAVOR! THIS PATHETIC PONY PRINCESS IS HANDING ME OVER TO THE BUG QUEEN AND YOU CALL THIS A FAVOR!!”
“BE SILENT YOU IGNORANT LITTLE HATCHLING!!” T-mate started to grow but stopped before she hit the ceiling. “Be thankful this is all that is happening, by the laws of the kingdom it would fall upon the ruler of the kingdom that you wronged, if anything this Shadow Moon saved your life by preventing you from harming that Changeling. Now you will keep your mouth shut or I will de-scale your hide in front of all these witnesses.” With that Snarl gulped and lowered his head. “Again thank you my friend, and I will ensure my son learns the importance of keeping a civil tong before the meeting. Now let us take are leave my misguided son.” with that T-mate shrunk down and then grabbed Snarl by the tail and started to drag him away. “We’re going to have a little talk about that very tong in our private room young drake.” Once they had left Celestia placed one hoof to her head.
“I feel sorry for T-mate some days, but how her son grew up is of her own doing.” Elsewhere in the castle Blueblood and his brave explorers had finally reached the top of the final flight of stares.
“Well done team (*pant*) we’re almost done.” Blueblood looked down the hall and then smiled. “We’re in luck no one spotted us climbing the mountain.”
“Except for the three maids, two royal guards and I think one really confused Philomena.” Night Mist added, getting Sky Hooves to chuckle a little.
“Anyhow, are goal is in sight, the fortress that holds our queen's royal jewels is just down the hall, we’ll be their before lunch.”
“Speaking of which what time do we eat?” Sky Hooves asked, as his stomach growled.
“At high noon. Now come on my brave soldiers we must finish are quest.” As the two foals looked at each other they shook their heads and started to follow. “You know I wonder what Nightmare Moon is up to right now.”
“I am most glorious Queen is running the kingdom.” both foals roles their eyes as they kept going. While else where in the castle Nightmare Moon had ran into a bit of trouble.
“Come on Sly, open the door.” Nightmare Moon said, as she waited outside the door leading into the kitchen. Only to hear a few whimpers from the other side. “It’s not my fault Woona put a spell on the door knob so my magic couldn’t open it, please.” A few more sounds. “I’m sorry I threw you through the air duct, but I needed to get you on the other side to get the door unlocked. I promise when this is all over you’ll get the most cookies.” one whimpering sound came from the other side. “Oh please Sly, do it for me.” After a few minutes the door opened and Sly dropped to the ground and looked at Nightmare Moon, ears flat and tail slightly tucked as he moved away from her. “Oh Sly, I’m so sorry for throwing you through that nasty air duct, come here.” Before Sly could protest Nightmare Moon pulled him in for a hug. “We’re almost done, see we just need to get that jar.” Nightmare Moon pointed to a jar sitting on the highest shelf. “That shouldn’t be to hard now should it?” with that Nightmare moon started to flap her wings and started to fly up towards the cookie jar. “Now hang on tight and when we get there you grab the jar.” It wasn’t until they reached high enough that things went from good to bad, as Sly grabbed the jar and pulled it onto Nightmare Moon’s back it threw he off balance and the two went into a chaotic flight that didn’t end until Nightmare moon crashed onto the floor, but not before knocking into several shelves, pots, and pans. Sly quickly hopping off and staggered slightly before flopping on the floor. “Hey come on we have to keep going.” Nightmare moon said, as she looked at Sly. Sly looked up at Nightmare Moon slightly and then felt himself lifted off the ground and placed on her back. “Now let‘s get out of here.”
Back with our intrepid trio, Night Mist, Sky Hooves and Blueblood slowly made their way down the hall ducking behind suits of armor every time a pony came walking down the hall, until finally they reached the play room. “My friends we have made it to the treasure trove cove that holds are the Queens royal jewels, our quest is almost over, we just have to be careful once we enter we never know what kind of monster might be on the other side of this door.” with that Night Mist and Sky Hooves looked at each other and then smiled.
“LEROOOY JEEENKINNNNS!!” both colts charged into the room and then freeze on the spot when they find themselves face to face with a now slightly more awake Luna.
“OH NO, YOU’VE AWOKE A FOUL BEAST!” Blueblood yelled, as he looked at Night Mist and Sky Hooves.
“EXCUSE ME!” Luna’s full rage was now turned on Blueblood. “What did you just call me, my dear nephew?”
“Uh, uh what I meant to say was thought you have discovered a lovely princess captured by the foul beast that has taken our queens royal jewels.” Luna leaned close and could hear Blueblood gulp slightly.
“That’s better, now should you be in the garden with my little moon.”
“She sent us on a quest to retrieve her royal jewels.” Night Mist said, as he smiled at Luna hopping that they would all be forgiven. Luna took a deep breath and then smiled.
“Very well then, once you have gathered her royal jewels I will walk you back to the garden.”
“We’re in luck are party has been joined by a great and powerful, warrior princess.” Luna only smirked at Blueblood’s statement and then watched as the three colts gathered the toy jewels, and started to walk back with Luna following close behind. “Why are you up Aunty Luna?”
“We had a few things we wanted to take care of before the night court this evening, as well as I wished to make sure my little Moon is behaving herself. Now I guess it is my turn to ask who, are these other two you are with?”
“Oh this is Night Mist, and Sky Hooves, Spitfire and Soarin’s foals.”
“Oh well it is a pleasure to meet the two of you.” By the time the group returned to the garden Nightmare Moon smiled as she ran out of the toy play castle and ran up to Luna.
“Mommy!”
“Hello my little Moon. Have you been a good filly today?”
“Oh yes mommy, I even made a few friends.”
“Yes we have met them, Night Mist and Sky hooves.”
“And Sly.”
“Sly? Might we ask who this Sly is?” with that Nightmare Moon ran back to the castle and then came back with Sly on her back.
“This is Sly.”
“Oh we see.” Luna leaned down and looked at Sly for a few moments before smiling. “It is a pleasure to meet you little fox, I hope that you are keeping my little moon out of trouble.”
“Mommy, Sly is only a puppy fox, I’m older.”
“Oh well then we hope you are keeping him out of trouble.” Luna smiled, as she nuzzled her beloved little moon. “You four behave while we go and deal with a few things that seem to have surfaced this day.” As Luna walked away Nightmare Moon smiled, as she motioned her loyal royal junior guard towards the castle play-set. Once inside Nightmare moon smiled as she was given her toy jewels.
“You have all done well, and now for your rewards.” Nightmare Moon nodded towards Sly and the little fox pulled a sheet off an object in the corner to reveal the coveted cookie jar from the kitchen.
Hours later, Celestia, Luna, and Spitfire came walking out into the garden smiling and laughing as they talked about their little ones, only to find the garden surprisingly quite. “I wonder where those four have gotten off to.”
“I still can’t believe you found my two kids and Blueblood in the play room princess.”
“It was more like they found us, though we must say they are quite an adventures bunch.”
“Well our little troop have had a pretty big day, and I bet they’re all resting in the castle.” Celestia said, as she pointed to the play castle. Once she used her magic to remove the top. The three mares where confronted with a rather amusing sight. The four fours had cookie crumbs and chocolate on their faces, while a little fox slept peacefully beside Nightmare Moon with a few oatmeal crumbs in it’s fur. “Perhaps a little more adventures then we first expecting.”
“I’ll say, let us get them to a proper bed for a nap.” Luna started to levitate Sly up and smiled to her elder sister. “What should be done of their little friend?”
“Well take him as well, besides if I recall he is new to the gardens as well and it might do our little ones some good to have a little friend around.”
“I suppose, but it seems that he has had his fill this day.” Luna poked Sly’s belly which resulted in the little Fox letting out a burp in her face before slowly wake up. As he started to look around a yip, it slowly got the other foals to wake up and look to see Sly being held in the air.
“Mommy no, put Sly down.” Nightmare Moon cried as she ran out of the small castle structure and started to jump up towards the levitating Fox, which only triggered the other foals to do the same as they started to jump up and try to get Sly from Luna’s magical hold.
“I think you should let him go, Luna.”
“As I shall, here you go little ones I did not mean to hurt him.” Once Sly was close enough Nightmare Moon pulled him close and started to hug him, as he whimpered slightly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe.”
“I think maybe having the little one around will be good for both our little ones sister.”
“Agreed.”
CS: opens a box and then closes it) DISCORD!
Discord: What?
CS: when SS said give me a hand or a hoof, it was a figure of speech.
Discord: Oh,… then can I have my lion paw back?
CS: no I’m keeping it, it’s a great back scratchier (walks away with the box.)
Discord: HEY COME ON I NEED THAT!
CS: no you gave it away, it’s my back scratchier now.
its too funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SS: Ooo did it hurt putting your paw in that box Discord and you do know I said hand or hoof right cause paws don't count.
Looks like a minimal editing job for me. I was worried at the length first.
Also, Night--Mist, I know you'll be reading this comment. I want to know if you want the hyphens in your name in the edited version. Since normal names don't normally have hyphens no less two. So we have:
A) Night Mist (recommened)
B) Night-Mist
C) Night--Mist
Pick one. (Note: if A and B are chosen whenever someone mentions your FIMFiction account C will be used, makes only sense)
~Firebird the editor of fire

I choose A) Night Mist.
Thank you for asking.
3508549 No problem.

Yeah sorry for the errors, I proof read and ran through a grammar check program (that's about 6 years old) Kind of noticed a few things after it got posted my self.
3508555
Firebird the editor of fire-
I like that I may use that for when I mention you at the end of the chap
3508660 Same deal with my Nightmare Night chapter. Still better than Super-Stallion's. Still not an insult. The only noticeable thing I noticed were that the second name of ponies weren't capitalized (Ergo Rainbow Dash is Rainbow dash). Super-Stallion does that too. I love making back handed insults, but this isn't one of them.
3508698 K (for those who don't know, that's short for 'Okay')
Please put up the next chapter soon.
I still wonder how it's gonna go when we meet Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust. Also, I'm not sure me and Sky Hooves are gonna feel too good when we head home from Canterlot. Foals aren't supposed to be eating cookies, or any other solid foods at that young of age, even though we'll do anything to get the cookies. Why does my sweet tooth betray me so?
3508758
CS: looks into his crystal ball) oh Soarin, oh I am so sorry.
Soarin: What? what do you see.
CS: You,... needing a bath. Along with several poor ponies you fly over on the way home.
Soarin: NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Like it. Just wish I had a bit more text...
btw: What exactly happened to this two nobles?
3510103
The trick that Kit pulled on Jet Set and Upper Crust, he used a bit of Kitsune magic to make them see their true selves, this plays on a Japan legend about how when you live a bad life, mostly lying, stealing, ex. it deforms your spirit, and causes it to decay.
To every pony around them, including the princess they would look normal, but to Jet Set or Upper Crust, when they looked at each other they would only see a very aged and scared version of each other, when they looked into a mirror they would see a very aged and scared version of them selves.
Hmmmmm...you have Leroy Jenkins, but nothing on what the fox says.
3510206
Oh! I know this legend. I liked this the most but i had no idea it was a kitsune that can do that.
(Note to myself: must get a Kitsune for myself and bring him to the next "Equestria top model" show )
3510290
Well with a Kitsune there are many legends, most of their tricks on overly proud samurai, greedy merchants, and boastful commoners. This normally ranged from possessing their target, leading them astray on paths, but mostly illusions.
SS: WAIT! Wait, wait, wait, what was all those mean tricks he pulled on me in the beginning then? You know with all the kryptonite?
CS: Oh that,... Well you see Kit is still considered young for a Kitsune. Since most of them live for a very long time, they don’t even start to grow more tails until they reach the age of 100 years old, it’s only upon growing a ninth tail that their fur changes color, Kit he’s only 95 years old.
Kit: Yes I was corrupted by a bad influence
3510392
Bad influence? You mean like... Internet?
3510420
Discord: No I think they meant me.

(*STORY CANNON!*)
Later that evening while the foals where in bed Luna, Celestia, T’mate, and Queen Chrysalis sat in the throne room while Garble sat in front of them under constant watch by the Royal Guard, and his own mother. “As you can see Chrysalis, the young dragon prince did in fact attack one of your subjects, but was prevented from doing any further harm to them thanks to this Shadow Moon.”
“We have heard of this Shadow Moon from the very subject from Garble’s memory, though I was not fully informed on how my subject came into contact with the warrior, from what I just witnessed if not for the intervention of Shadow Moon my subject would have been tortured for the amusement of this welp.”
“WELP!” Garble snarled but was quickly stopped as his mother shot in front of him.
“You will remain put, and be thankful that is all she is calling you this day, most of all be thankful that you are still here to hear her call you such a thing.” with that T’mate returned to the other rulers and sat back down. “You have been warned countless times in the past to respect your fellow creatures, more then once have I come to your defense from punishments that would have scared you, but this time I will not, you will face the full punishment of your actions this day Garble, so you might understand just how important our laws are.” with that Celestia turned to Chrysalis.
“Since it was one of your subject that was attacked you may put in a request of punishment.”
“Since this is not the first time this Drake Welp has attacked one of my subjects I request that he be put down like the rabid beast that he is.”
“YOU INSIGNIFICANT BUG I’LL KILL YOU!!” Garble lunged with lighting fast movements only to be stopped as something came crashing down on his head sending his head into the floor and stopping the young dragon dead in his tracks. As the dust cleared and the royal guard started to use their magic to bind the now knocked out youth, the four rulers looked at what had stopped him, or rather whom, standing on Garble’s head, dressed head to toe in armor and emerald green eyes shinning stood Shadow Moon arms crossed and head lowered slightly.
“This is the second time I have prevented him from making a grave error in his life, I will not do it again.” Shadow Moon looked up at the rulers and then turned to T’mate. “Forgive my intrusion madam, I could already fill your power as well as that of your fellow rulers starting to build up, but I could not let a life be wasted because of pure ignorance, that and you where not intending to stop your son but to shield him from what the other three would have been forced to do am I right?” T’mate lowered her head slightly and nodded. “You are a good ruler and a loving mother.”
“Which is why I have a suggestion on young Garble’s punishment.” Celestia said, as she looked at T’mate. “As you know recently I use an age spell on my arrogant Nephew so that I might be able to raise him properly and make him into a respected royal member, I suggest that instead of taking his life we do the same to your son, give him a clean slate to start over.”
“I Object, this welp attacks my subjects and we give him a longer lease on life? What kind of justice is that?”
“The kind of justice that also over looked your attack on my kingdom during a royal wedding, that spared your life.” Celestia pointed out, getting Chrysalis to back down slightly.
“I do wish to do that my dear friend, but it is not up to me, by dragon law since my Son’s life was saved in this instance, his life belongs to the one that saved him, in short his life now belongs to Shadow Moon.” T’mate explained as she shed a single tear. “I only ask that Shadow Moon shows my son mercy.” Shadow Moon walked off Garble’s head and stood before the 4 rulers, then turned to Garble.
“This world is about second chances, so that is what he shall have. Turn him back to a hatchling, return him to his mother, and T’mate raise him well, this is his second chance there will be no more.”
“I understand, and thank you.” with that Celestia nodded and cast her spell turning the still knocked out Garble back into a hatchling, and levitating him into his mother’s waiting arms. “Before I go, I wish to meet your student and young Spike, if my son is to have this second chance I want there to be closure with those that he has wronged in the past.” Celestia nodded and smiled slightly.
“I understand, I will send word right away to Twilight Sparkle to come to Canterlot with Spike.” with that T’mate left the throne room holding her son. “Chrysalis thank you for coming.”
“I’m not even sure why I came, justice was not seen this day.” As she turned her attention to Shadow Moon though she couldn’t see his real eyes she could almost feel as if the person behind the helmet was glaring at her. “And what will be done should he decided to grow up and attack my subjects once more?”
“Then I will protect your subjects and end his terror, do not think me weak Chrysalis, I will not hesitate should it come to that.”
“See that you don’t warrior.” with that Chrysalis vanished in a ball of green fire.
“Forgive her, she is under a lot of stress.” Celestia said, as she looked at Shadow Moon who nodded once. “Though now that we have the honor of meeting you face to face might I ask where you come from.”
“A land of sorrow your majesty, and though I would love to stay and chat I must be off, night has fallen and those who wish to use it for their personal gain must learn that they can no longer hid in shadows.” with that Shadow Moon phased into his own shadow.
“Interesting creature, wouldn’t you say Luna?”
“Yes, now what is this other matter you said we needed to discuss?”
“Yes it seems our favorite Kitsune has been up to some old tricks as of late.”
“LET US THROUGH!” a stallion yelled, as he barged through the doors, dressed from head to hoof in cloths with a bag over his head shortly followed by another pony in the same state, if not for the type of cloths it wore no one would have been able to tell it was a mare. “Princess we have done as you asked, we waited until this evening, please remove this curse that has been placed upon us, order that kid’s song to undo what it has done to us.” with that Luna looked at the ponies slightly confused but then turned to her sister as Celestia let out a slight giggle.
“Sister what has happened to them?”
“I’ll show you what happened.” with that the stallion removed his bag and his wife did the same. “Look at what that monster has done to us, we’re hideous, we’re freaks, monsters, we can’t go through life looking like this.” Luna blinked a few times and then understood why her sister was finding this amusing. “My wife used to be the bell of the Canterlot ball, now she looks like something from a horror story, and I look like something that should be banished to the Everfree forest. Please find this kid’s song, make it change us back.”
“Alright first off dum dum it’s not kid’s song, it’s Kitsune.” a voice that sounded like it was coming from everywhere said as all the ponies in the room started to look around. “And second, I’m not taking it off.” Kit said, as he appeared behind the two ponies lodging the complaint.
“Kit, I will have to insist that you undo your spell unless you can give me a valid reason that you have cast it upon them.” Celestia said, after she composed herself.
“Oh Valid reason how about two really arrogant stuck up nobles that needed to be taught a lesson.”
“HOW DARE YOU!” the stallion yelled, as he glared at Kit.
“With every fiber in my body you sad excuse for a glue stick.”
“Excuse me?”
“Well over your little head.” with that Kit vanished and appeared next to Celestia. “Let me tell you why I cast this spell on these two nobles and then you decided if I have to undo my spell.” with that Kit whispered into Celestia’s ear getting her amused look to slowly turn into a scowl.
“I see.” with that Celestia looked at the two ponies before her and then leaned over and whispered into Luna’s ear getting the night princess to display a look of shock, just before she nearly blow the roof off with her royal canter lot voice.
“HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH THINGS ABOUT MY DAUGHTER!!” Luna stormed forward while the two ponies in question coward on the floor before her. “IF I EVER HEAR ETHER ONE OF YOU SPEAK ANOTHER HARSH WORD, OR SPREAD ANOTHER LIE ABOUT MY LITTLE MOON I WILL INSURE THAT YOU SUFFER A THOUSAND DEATHS!!”
“See I was trying to be kind.” Kit said, as he smiled up at Celestia.
“And I will commend you for it, and since my sister has just caused them to loose them selves perhaps you should remove your little spell.”
“Do I have to, it is rather funny to watch Jet Set and Upper Crust insult one another back and forth.”
“I will admit that is rather amusing but since nether one of them understands that it’s only an allusion you’ve placed on them to see their true selves, you might cause them more harm then good.”
“Well if they don’t like what they see then maybe they should change the way they live.”
“True, but don’t you think the royal tong lashing my sister has given them is enough punishment?”
“I suppose, but if I find out they’ve been speaking poorly about any pony again, the spell goes right back on. If they talk badly about a foal again, I’ll put on the addition to that spell.” Celestia’s face went a bit pail before turning to Kit.
“Please don’t, I don’t wish for the rest of my little ponies to have nightmares of what those two might look like.”
“Think walking road kill.”
“I really didn’t need to know that.”
“Gives you a better reason to make sure they behave them selves.” with that Kit snapped his fingers. “There now they can look upon their nice fake faces.”

I think sometimes Discord is less chaotic then the internet.
So Discord would be a good influence.
3510484
I like your short storys. They are funny and a good addition to the original.
3510484 I don't mind flu shots
3510493
I've been around, trust me depending on which country you're in would depend on how nuts the internet is, in some movies like SAW and hostile, those are normal. In fact SNUFF films completely legal. In other countries, Video games that show violence of any kind are band.
In fact and that’s not just counties, that’s also progression of time, when I was growing up cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Loony Tunes, and the like yes in a since they where violent, and I mean very violent, in real life Tom would have been dead along time ago, but it was funny and no big deal. Well from what I understand a lot of the old cartoons have been pulled from main stream T.V. because a lot of parent groups are complaining they are too violent.
Then again these are the same groups that every time there is a shooting they jump on the blame everyone else wagon, sorry people, before when there was really no ratting system on video games or T.V. yes you had a blame them card, but it was flimsy and not very well made, now that there are ratting systems in place, it falls to you to ensure the youth are watching, and playing age appropriate material.
Take, I think last year, there was this horrible shooting, and I still feel sorry for the victims of these cases, but in this case there was this news story about these kids, I would say maybe 11 or 12 years old, giving up their violent video games because they want to stop the violence, or some PSA statement like that, don’t get me wrong good for them, one minor chink in this little news story that no one seem to pick up on, the video games these kids where getting rid of. Not for their age group, in fact they showed a few of them, they where for the more adult gamer not for kids their age.

Discord: O.K. (pulls out a shot the size of a small missle.) You might feel a slight pinch.
3512941
Hmm... I wonder if, when a brony get violent in school and dont find ANY violent video games or movies in his home, if they then blame My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?
Looks like Nightmare Moon and Prince Blueblood are getting along pretty well. And I see Nightmare Moon is still as a big of a trouble maker as always. She just never knows when to give up does she?
3514095
No in that case they would most likely resort to another answer, mostly bulling, I’ve gotten into plenty of fights when I was younger mostly because I was standing up for other people. When I was in school, there were such things as bad teachers, even those that picked on students; I got into it with of few of them also.
Little side bit of history, my family has a very long history of serving in armed forces, I was taught how to fight at a very young age, but I was also taught how to only use what I know in self defense and to protect others, never to have the goal to hurt some one, never to have the goal to take a life, but only to neutralize a threat.
I got into fights ranging from basic play ground bullies; to people that had let the power go to their head. I used wit and my words and many times this only made them angrier, teachers mostly. But when said individuals got to this point they would mostly resort to physical attacks, depending on the situation depended on my retaliation, if it was an authority figure I let them get a blow in, mostly if it was in front of a class of fellow students, if they didn’t get hit with enlightenment at that point and tried for another attack, I would go for their weak points and leave them on the ground.
One of the reasons I like the Kitsune stories is mostly because a lot of them deal with trying to set things right against arrogant nobles, or those that let power go to their head. I never did like seeing a more powerful adversary going after the weaker; it was one of the main things my family taught me. Never be a bully, always help your fellow person, never give up hope, and always have a merciful heart.
3513773 its ok I can retell you that I beat you up with my bass cannon again

Alright so that brings up a mean joke I pulled on one jerk teacher i had, dude had very sensitive ears and I swear could hear a fly burp from across the class room, he was also belittled students in front of the class room when they didn‘t pass a test. So I rigged his desk with a small crystal speaker, bungee cords, and a nine-volt battery.
Every time the drawer shut it would close the circuit and make the small speaker make this high pitch screeching noise that you had to nearly put the thing next to your ear to hear, it was supposed to cause bugs to run away for some reason, at least that’s what the device I pulled the speaker from said.
It was so much fun watching him go nuts since the bungee cords forced the drawer shut for the first half of class, then he found it, and then it was just funny watching him trying to figure out not only how it was done but who could have done it.
3514969 I got to tell RD and pinkie about that

First rule of any fight
Know your enemy, know their strengths and weaknesses, and then target both. This is rather easy because a good portion of the time they are one and the same.
Or as one of my uncles puts it, find the chink in the armor and hammer away at it, as his wife puts it, even the smallest stream of water can bring down the largest mountain over time.

(*STORY CANNON!*) PUPPY TROUBLE
It was a peaceful afternoon, the kind that the night princess loved to sleep in just a little bit, not to hot not to cold, the kind of afternoon that she would love to sleep in, unfortunately this was not to be the case this day as she felt something moving on her bed, and she tried to hide her smile as she heard the most important filly in his life whispered quietly to yet another object moving around her. “O.K. now.” it didn’t take long for Luna to learn what her little moon was talking about as she felt something start to tickle her nose. She could just sit up but instead she decided to play along and just turn her head away from what was tickling her, but soon found her nose assaulted once more only this time with several feathers. “Tickle, tickle, tickle.” With that Luna felt her ear getting tickled. As she started to smile she could hear her little moon start to giggle.
“Alright you I give up.” Luna said, as she started to laugh and sat up then picked up her little bundle of Joy and started to return her wakeup call. “Who’s my little?”
“I am mommy I am.” Luna laughed happily as held her giggling little filly, then noticed her friend and
Co-conspirator. “Well hello there little one.” As she reached down and welcomed Sly into her arms she smiled as he climbed up and curled up with her little moon. “Alright you two mind telling me why you wanted to wake me up so badly?”
“We missed you.” Nightmare Moon said, as she petted Sly and then looked up at Luna.
“You missed me? Alright and have you two been behaving today?”
“Yes mommy.”
“Have you really been behaving?”
“Well,… I might have been trying some magic today, and I might have done something, that I really didn’t mean to.”
“Like?”
“It was a total accident honest.”
“What was it?”
“I changed Bluey.”
“Into what?” with that Nightmare moon blushed slightly.
“Into pinky.”
“Pinky?”
“I changed his coat pink.”
“I see and did you say you where sorry?”
“I twied.”
“What prevented you.”
“I was laughing too hard.” Luna rolled her eyes and let out a sigh.
“And what about you little one?” Luna asked, as she nuzzled Sly slightly, getting the little fox to look up at her. “Have you been a good little fox? Or have you lived up to your name and been a Sly little fox?”
“Oh-uh,… he got into a little trouble today.” as Nightmare moon started to explain Sly started to whimper.
“Alright, what kind of trouble did he get into?”
“Well it was kind of when aunty Celestia was scolding me for turning blue pink.”
“Oh, he didn’t try and bit her did he?”
“No.” Again Sly whimpered, then tried to hide his head with his front paws. “Well while she was scolding me, he found her jewels and ran off with one of her necklaces.”
“I see, well foxes do like sparkly objects, anything else I should know about?” with that Nightmare Moon looked at Sly and then back up at Luna.
“Sly made a mess on Celestia’s throne.” Thousands of years, being a princess, went flying out the window as Luna erupted into laughter. “He didn’t mean to,… Stop laughing mommy he already feels bad enough about it, and it wasn’t his fault that Aunty Celestia didn’t look before she sat down.” Else where in the palace Celestia blushed slightly as she heard her sister laughing in the royal Canterlot voice.

Doctor Needles: looks over medical reports and then slowly lowers his cross bow) Alright you check out Frankie2. (all of a sudden out of the cornor of his eye he sees a white blur.) Ah the big game, the elusive Celestia Royaltis. But mostly known as Princess Celestia.
Discord: Hey doc i got a bone to pick with you.
Kit: Yeah a tail bone.
Discord: Who's side are you on?
Kit: I thought we had established that?
Discord: any way, what give you the right to go around shooting ponies in the flank?
Doctor Needles: I'm a Doctor.
Kit: Doctor morbid maybe. (walks over and pulls several files out of the Doctor's bags.)
DN: HEY YOU CAN LOOK AT THOSE!!
Kit: Yeah, yeah hippa an all that, Doc you have a file on every living this in equestria.
DN: I do my best.
Kit: Well I was just wondering something, hasn't medicain evolved alot over 1000 years, and hasn't there been many enoculations, and vacciens that most ponies get as foals now adays to ensure their nice and healthy?
DN: Yes,... what are you getting at?
Kit: Nothing.
Discord: Kit I'm trying to be serious here, besides no pony would know anything from those times, only Celestia Luna and my self, and Luna was stuck on the moon all that time.
DN: Oh my you're correct, Princess Luna hasn't had alot of her shots that are way past over due. (Starts to pack things up.) Thank you both for reminding me, I'll have to give her these shots right away. (Starts to run off)
Discord: HEY! I'M NOT FINISHED TALKING TO YOU YET!! (Starts to give chase only to be stopped as Kit grabs his tail.)
Kit: Discord, think about it for a minute you get ahold of him we pulls a few pranks, we get yelled at we get into trouble, and possable get that walking tin can on our tails again, but should he shoot Princess Luna, Princess Celestia's little sisted with that cross bow of his. (Discord stopped for a momment and then had a wicked smile slowly appear on his face.)
Discord: Oh you're good, you're very good, so when do we get to watch the fire works?
Kit: Oh I'm sure we will know, I'm sure we will know. Besides i still have one other thing to tell our good Doctor.
Discord: which is
Kit: clears his throat) DISCORD HASN'T HAD THOSE SHOT EITHER DOC!!! (DN came grinding to a hault as he turned and looked in the direction of Discord and Kit, now only speks in the distants.)
Discord: WHY WOULD YOU TELL HIM THAT! (Starts to run off.)
Kit: CONSIDER IT PAYBACK FOR THE RPG TO THE BACK AT THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!!
3535716
Has Kit got his shots yet cause I don't ever remember him visiting the doctor?
3538682>>3535716
Yeah, I hope Dr. Needles can jump worlds if he hasn't. Even though he's chaotic, I don't want the poor guy getting sick.
Hope to see more of your chapters soon Super-Stallion, but of course, don't rush.
3538682 3539384
Kit: I'll have you know I'm very health unlike a certain little colt i know, though i must admit it was funny watching the good doctor go through ten needles trying to penetrate that hide of yours.
SS: It's not my fault he doesn't have stronger needles.
Kit: I'm not sure they can make them that strong, I could always tip Rarity off that maybe a few swats from that brush of hers might soften your hide up enough so it can be stuck.
SS: Hey she doesn't have to spank me with it just bring it close.
Kit: I know (vanishes from sight)
SS: VEGETA!!
Vegeta: appears beside SS) WHAT!?
SS: Oh sorry I didn’t mean you. (Vegeta roles his eyes and teleports away) Let’s try that again KIT!!!! (SS looks around and dosn't see Kit.) OH COME ON!!
3539786
N. Mist: Lost him again Super Stallion?
SS: Eeyup.
I hate asking stuff, but can you tell us how far in progress the next chapter is?
3543164
Well I'm 456 words in.
3543612 That definitely more than 455.
3545263
It's changed I work quite well.
3545578 That's nice.
I saw a number of times where 'are' was used instead of 'our'.
Is the dragon's name Garble or Snarl?
Where you have tong did you mean tongue or tone?
Who the heck is 'Leroy Jenkins'?
And I think you meant 'four foals' not 'four fours.'
As for the story, I liked it. I just wonder if Sly is the Kitsune that cursed the nobles.
