Under the Moonlight

Epilogue

"Sergeant Thunderblast?"

"Yes sir?"

"Captain Armor wishes to have a word with you. It is very important that you see him at once."

Thunder sighed. "I wonder what's wrong now..."

He trotted to the Captain's office, and walked up to the door which was...open?

Shining Armor noticed Thunder at the door through the open part, and smiled. "Ah, Thunder. Come in!"

Thunderblast trotted in and stopped, standing at attention.

"Before you salute, at ease soldier," Shining chuckled.

Thunder's muscles eased, and he walked up to the unicorn's desk. "You wanted to speak with me, sir?"

"Yes. I wanted to talk to you about something very important. Something about the next step of your career in the Royal Guard." Shining shut the door with his magic, putting his hooves together.

"Oh boy..." "Yes, sir?"

"You have reached a point where you are able to move on to becoming one of the higher ranks of the Royal Guard. You've been a sergeant for over a year now, am I correct?" Shining stared at the stallion with a bit of a smile on his face.

"Yes sir, I believe so," Thunder replied, staring back at Shining Armor.

"Well, as you know, everypony who makes it this far must be transferred into the military...and," Shining sighed. "I must transfer you to Manehattan...to begin your military training."

"...What?" Thunder's irises shrunk to pinpricks.

"You heard me. You have no choice either, Thunderblast," Shining stared at the stallion with a blank expression.

Thunder sighed. "I see. When do I leave?"

"November 3rd. Three weeks from now."

"How long am I supposed to be gone, sir?" Thunder gulped, his hooves trembling.

"It depends, anywhere from four months to a year. If you do well, you'll be home before May. If you do okay, or not well, you'll be home a year from then. I guarantee you, you will be a whole new stallion when you come back."

Author's Note:

And, there it is. The final part to Under the Moonlight.

After four months, it is finally done!

*Massive sigh of relief*

I hope you enjoyed it!

Although some parts of the story are a bit rushed, it was an awesome read. I especially enjoyed the final chapters where the revolution was taking place. - 8/10

[Vermilion and Sage]

Well, hello there! Thanks for the read, and I sure appreciate the follow. I figure I'll owe you some reading time in turn.

5084818 Aye, no problem!

I would suggest reading another one of my stories however (excluding The Search for Con Mane, my first story on this site) if you're against/have a grudge on OC x Canon shipping, as this one (and that one) are loaded with it.

That would make me a hypocrite. My longest story is a OC X Canon, in a war story (though with the caveat of the OC not being my ponysona) so in short, I'll give this a read in the next few days.

5085458 Oh, well, thank you very much. I hope you enjoy the story

[Thunderblast]

5153384 Yeah, pretty much I figured it'd be the only real way for Thunderblast to get his cutie mark (Because regular sonic booms are too mainstream).

[militarybrony43]

Hmm seems interesting, must give it a read if I want to start Before the Dawn.

[AmpUpHeart]

Is this supposed to be the backstory for your own oc? Because I find it amazing that you went into this much depth for it (plus the fact that it has a sequel).

[Thunderblast]

6202521 Sure is. I'm happy to see someone else likes it, because it really isn't my best story. Thank you.

You're welcome. I'm honestly still finding out my own OC's story. I don't know if I'll ever write it down, but I think it'll reflect more on my own life, especially since she's not a guard or a star magician or anything like that.

[Thunderblast]

6202547 Hmm, you know, if you ever need ideas, PM me and I'll see what I can come up with depending on what you want for you OC and stuff.

[AmpUpHeart]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
