Lightning Wolf

by litestardt

This is War

Applejack woke up to the sound of a rooster. When she open her eyes she notice she wasn't in her bed but on the couch instead. She looked around to see if she could find Wolf. Applejack saw Wolf on the ground curled into ball sleeping with a smile on his face.

Applejack decided to go into the kitchen and start cooking breakfast for the family and Wolf. When she got to the kitchen she saw Granny Smith already up ready to make coffee.

"Would you like a cup dear?" Asked Granny without turning around.

"I would love a club of coffee granny." Said Applejack

Granny bought over two cups of coffee to the table and Applejack took a seat across from Granny Smith. Applejack took a sip of her coffee and was glad that she had coffee to wake her up.

"Would you care for cup?" Asked Granny looking over Applejack

Applejack turned around to see Wolf up and standing in the doorway.

"No I don't drink coffee at all." Said Wolf

"Nonsense everypony drinks coffee at some point in their life." Said Granny

"Well lucky I'm not a pony I'm a wolf so I'll pass on the coffee." Said Wolf

"Lightning you seem different from when you were younger coming here." Said Granny

"Well Granny Smith if you been what I've been though you change alot." Said Wolf

Before Applejack could asked what he's been though Star Rush came crashing though the door. Everybody looked at Rush wondering why he was here so early.

"We have to go to!" Said Rush

"Why?" Asked Wolf

"Since Canterlot is in danger!" Said Rush

Applejack and Wolf were shocked to hear him say something so bad. Granny Smith on the other hand got up and started to walk towards the stairs.

"Granny where are you going?" Asked Applejack

"To get Apple Bloom to a safe place." Said Granny

"Why would you say that?" Asked Wolf

"Because darkness is coming and there will be war." Said Granny

They watched her go upstairs and vanish to a room.

"Ok that was weird but lets go we have to leave now!" Said Rush

"But wait we would have heard news about this already." Said Wolf

"No since the attack hasn't began yet." Said Rush

"Then how do you know an attack is going to happen?" Asked Applejack

"Since Litestar saw it in her vision." Said Rush

"So your going to believe a vision that..""Applejack before you finish your sentence let me tell you that when ever Litestar has a vision it's true. We don't know how she has this power but she does, so stay here with your friends and protect Ponyville." Said Wolf

Applejack could tell that Wolf was telling the truth but when he said they don't know she could tell he was lying on that.

"Alright but my friends and I are coming." Said Applejack

"What no you need to stay here and protect your family." Said Wolf

"No I don't they have big Mac here to protect them and plus I've been trained for combat." Said Applejack

Wolf was about to protest but Rush spoke first "Well actually I informed your friends Applejack since we might need you guys."

Wolf hated that Rush said that but wonder if Rush knew his feeling for Twilight. Wolf knew if Rush or Zeus found out about his feelings for Twilight they would lock him up for safety measures and he wasn't going to let that happen.

Wolf sighed in defeat "Fine but the moment they are in trouble I'm going to help them out." Said Wolf

"Deal. Now lets go everyone else is at the train station." Said Rush

On the train towards Canterlot

"So where are we meeting up with everyone?" Asked Sev

"At the royal guard HQ isn't that right Twilight." Said Rush

"Yes I got a letter from them this morning saying when we arrive head straight to the royal guard HQ." Said Twilight

"Then what sir?" Asked Speedy

"That when we assign a protection team for the princesses and Zeus." Said Rush

"So are we going to be separated?" Asked Azrael

"Most likely not since I need you five on the front lines." Said Azrael

"What about us will we be separated?" Asked Rainbow

"No the element holders are apart of the protection team." Said Rush

"Well that's a solid plan so far." Said Pinkie

"So far but we don't gave plan for the protection team nor front lines yet." Said Rush

"Well I'm going to need peace and quiet if I'm going to come up with a plan for the protection team." Said Twilight as she got up to go to an empty cart

Applejack whispered "Go with her for some alone time." To Wolf

Wolf nodded knowing that Applejack was helping him win Twilight's heart. Wolf started to walk in the same direction as Twilight when Rush stop him.

"And where do you think your going buddy?" Asked Rush

Wolf wonder if Rush knew about his feelings towards Twilight or if he just suspect it.

"I'm going to protect princess Twilight. You never know if they sent someone already to go after them." Said Wolf

"Alright but you know the plan right?" Asked Rush

"Yes sir." Said Wolf as he started to walk to the other cart.

Wolf enter the cart to see Twilight sitting down looking out the window trying to come up with a plan. He couldn't help look at how gorgeous she looked in the sun.

Twilight was trying to see what the best way to protect the princesses and her friends. She lost her train of thought when she felt something wrap round her and start kissing her on the neck. Twilight loved the feeling the her body was going though and knew exactly who it was. She wanted him to continue in till she realized that he's doing this in a public train.

"Wolf stop were in public." Twilight said though her moans from the kisses on her neck

"I don't care Twilight." Said Wolf as he continued

Twilight stopped him turned around to face him.

"What do you mean you don't care?" Asked Twilight

"I mean I love you and if Zeus and Celestia want to send me away I'll just come back for you." Said Wolf

Before Twilight could respond Wolf pressed his lips against hers. Twilight was at first shocked by his action in public but then she accept it knowing she wanted it back.

After a few moments they broke apart from they're kiss and looked in to each other eyes.

"Can you help me come up with a plan Wolf?" Asked Twilight with a blush

"Oh course." Said Wolf then kissed Twilight on the lips before they started to work on a plan.

As they thought up a plan they couldn't help but be next to each other. Wolf put his wing over Twilight to keep her closer to him and she rested your head against his body.

After 20 minutes the moment was broken up by a fake cough. They looked behind them to see Applejack standing at the doorway. Twilight became shocked and started to panic. Wolf and Applejack started to laugh at the way she was reacting.

"This isn't what it looks like Applejack." Twilight said

Applejack and Wolf continue to laugh. Twilight just kept wondering why Wolf wasn't freaking out like her for getting caught.

"Haha Twi your funny." Said Applejack

"What do you mean I'm funny?" Asked Twilight

"Since Applejack was the one that told me to come in here." Said Wolf

"What!?" Asked Twilight

"Twi you told me your true feeling for him last night." Said Applejack

Twilight stared to blush with embarrassment for not remembering something so important like that.

"And Wolf told me he had feeling for you and I decided to help him out." Said Applejack

"So you knew why he came in here?" Asked Twilight

Applejack did her famous brother 'Eeyup'. Twilight looked at Wolf then back to Applejack and flew and gave a hug to her friend.

"Thank you Thank you Applejack." Twilight said while hugging Applejack

"Hey no problem and I'll keep a secret for you guys." Applejack said while getting out of her hug "but now the real reason I'm here is that we're close to Canterlot and I hope you guys came up with a plan cause Rush wants to hear it now."

"Well we've been thinking but we couldn't come up with anything." Said Twilight

"Well why don't we use the elements to our advantage and Shining's shield to protect the other princesses." Said Applejack

"Applejack your genius." Said Twilight

With that said they all went back to the other cart to explain the plan to Rush, who agreed before they spoke making Twilight wonder how did he know the plan already. She couldn't ask him because they arrived at the train station.

Royal guard HQ

At the royal guard HQ princess Celestia, Cadance, and Luna waiting with prince Shining Armor and Zeus.

"Where are they?" Asked Shining

"Don't worry my men will be here with your um mares? I guess." Said Zeus

"Zeus please don't joke around with my captain." Said Celestia

"Alright but I'm just guessing your still upset about last night." Said Zeus

"I swear I will send you to the moon if you don't take this threat seriously." Said Celestia with anger

"Oh I am taking it serious that why I sent a letter for reinforcements." Said Zeus

"Yeah but we know how long that takes sir." Said Wolf from behind them.

They group turned around to see the mane six and elite six standing there.

"Well it's about time your late commander." Said Zeus

"Why do you think I had Wolf teleport is here." Said Rush

"Well we'll be in the planning room while you six get in uniform." Said Zeus

The six replied in unison yes sir and they made their way to the armory while everyone else went to the war room. After a couple minutes the elite six came in wearing their uniform.

Rush was wearing a outfit that looked like camouflage for the woods with a long crossbow with a scope on it on his back. Then Sev walked in he had the same camouflage as Rush but with out sleeves and had potions around his shoulders. Then came in Speedy with the same outfit as Rush but was blue instead of green, she also had two mini crossbows strapped to her back legs.

Azrael came into the room wearing metal sharp wings a holster on his chest for his mini crossbow, metal talons, metal tail with a sharp end, and knifes all around him. Litestar walked in with a camouflage jacket that looked like autumn with medic written on her back, she had a dagger around her waist. Then Wolf walked in wearing a urban camouflage jacket with a sword on his back and a hood connected to the jacket.

Twilight looked at Wolf and started to blush. She couldn't believe how he looked in his uniform. She just wanted to kiss him and have him protect her. Shining gave a look to Twilight that made her look away from the group.

"Now that your here commander what's the plan?" Asked Zeus

Rush looked around and notice all the people in here were captains of the royal guard and the Lt. Col. of Delta company.

"All right we are splitting into two groups. One group will protect the princesses while the other stay here to fight on the front lines." Said Rush

"Wait you want to split the troops into two groups that will lower are troops to face against impossible odds." Said Captain Cloudhunter

"What do you mean impossible odds?" Asked Azrael

"Once the princesses informed us of the attack we sent a group of Pegasus scouts to see the troop size." Said a different Captain

"And what did they report back?" Asked Twilight

"He reported that they have over 1000 guys." Said Shining

"He what do you mean he I thought you sent a group." Said Rainbow

"They did but only one survived the attack didn't he Captain." Said Rush looking at Shining

"He came back with that info but died afterwards from the injuries he sub stained." Said Shining

The girls gasps realizing that a pony hasn't died from a battle or being killed for over a thousands years.

"You guys are lucky we came or else this would have been impossible odds but we just need to hold off in till our reinforcements arrive." Said Sev

"Alright why do you say that?" Asked Celestia

"Since they took out 200 men by themselves. They are known as the Elite six for a reason." Said Zeus

"Wait if the six of them did that than why don't you guys fight them?" Asked a unicorn captain

"Since we didn't come out with everyone who went in." Said Wolf with a sad tone

"We only need to hold them off." Said Speedy

"Yes that's the plan for the front lines but we might have to actually kill them all if reinforcements don't arrive on time." Said Rush

Everyone was quiet now to realize that war has come to Equestria.

"Alright then what's this protection team?" Asked Shining

"It's a team to protect the princesses." Said Litestar

"So who's in it?" Asked Cloudhunter

"Well the elements of harmony, Shining Armor and 30 of your best men." Said Sev

"But wait I need to be on the front lines with my men." Said Shining

"Don't worry about them they will be under my command." Said Zeus

"Wait shouldn't you be protected like us?" Asked Cadance

"Oh don't worry about me. I was a captain after all in the USN." Said Zeus

"So your going to stay here?" Asked Celestia

"Oh course I am the elite six only take orders from anyways." Said Zeus

"With that said we should head out." Said Rush

"Wait I'm joining in the front lines too." Said Shining

"No your not since first of all your prince and second your the only one who knows a force field spell." Said Twilight

"Yeah but what do you need it for?" Asked Shining

"Just in case they chose straight for us." Said Twilight

Shining knew she was right and decided to nod his head in agreement.

"Good now protection team go to the castle everyone else get the cannons ready to fire on my mark." Said Rush

Everybody went to their respected position and the UNS with the royal guard kept watch waiting for the enemies to attack. Rush and Wolf were by the cannon waiting, Zeus was in the war room with Speedy and Sev as his guards, and Litestar and Azrael were in the back ready at command to attack.

The princesses were in the castle with the elements, Shining, and 30 royal guards.

The streets of Canterlot were empty thanks to the royal guard getting the citizens to a safe area. As they waited Wolf and Rush talked to each other.

"You know this will be the first war for Equestria in over a thousand years." Said Rush

"I know and the moment I see trouble at that castle I'm heading over there." Said Wolf

Right when Wolf said that Rush saw the enemy forces and realized how big it truly was.

"We are going to definitely going to have to hold till reinforcements come." Said Rush

The unicorn captain came up to Rush.

"Sir your orders." Said the Captain

"Get the cannons ready." Said Rush

"Yes sir." Said the captain as he turned to go give the orders

"And don't fire till my command." Said Rush towards the leaving Captain

"So how many do you think we are going to lose?" Asked Wolf

"Alot more than I wish." Said Rush

The troops were now getting close and everyone was on edge.

"Don't fire yet!" Said Rush

The enemies just kept marching closer.

"Rush I think you should give the orders." Said Wolf

"Not yet let them come in closer." Said Rush

The troops were only minutes away from the Wall surrounding Canterlot.

"Hold your fire." Said Rush

"But sir we should fire now."

"Hold your fire."

"But sir they are getting to close for comfort."

"Exactly my point captain." Said Rush

As the enemy troops finally were only 100 years away. Rush shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Fire!"
