Uni Clan: Knowledgable and wise, they study all forms of alchemy and battle tactics. Gaia Clan: The most experienced group of fighters and builders. Drago Clan: A clan that governs the others as both police, and if need be, executioner. ~But unknown to all, there was a empire that governed the four clans. Helping to build up there clans as time passed.~ Ali Empire: Masters of the styles of Pega, Uni, and Gaia Clans. Ruled by twin sisters, they dictate how each of the three clans runs and what they do. ~Yes, peace rained throughout the land with the help of these clans.~ ~Unfortunately, the peace doesn't last as trouble begins to come in waves of war, robberies, and destruction.~ Gar Clan: A clan that was built out of dangerous convicts, corrupted samurai's, and those who are rich and/or greedy for money and power. Wherever they, they leave leave crime and destruction wherever they go. ~Like a plague, the once beautiful landscape was reduced to scorch marks, broken and abandoned weapons, and gravestones scattered across the land.~ ~Having enough of the conflict, the two leaders of the Ali Empire decided to take action against the Gar Clan.~ ~Taking the two best members of the Pega Clan, Uni Clan, Gaia Clan, and Drago Clan, they sent them on a journey to defeat them, and bring them to justice.~ ~Unfortunately, things didn't go according to what they had planned.~ ~Upon finding the Gar Clan's secret base to be a abandoned temple deep in the forest, they tried to pull a two point attack.

But, even with the traitor, they managed to drive them back into the shadows that they came from, taking the traitor with them.~ ~As peace returned to the land, the seven warriors that remained of the group returned to the Ali Clan and gave the report. Upon hearing what happened, and fearing of the Gor's Clan return, the two sisters who head the Ali clan decided to give the remaining seven special training that would change the way they opperated forever.~ ~For a new era of secret warfare shall forever change the world as a whole.~ ~And eventually, far into the future, a new group shall rise and come together, following in the footsteps of the warriors of past that came before them, becoming the new unbeatable team to once again fight for the freedom of Equestria.~ ~For the era of the ninja has began.~ ~๐Ÿ‰~ > ~Welcome to Cantorlot City~ > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: July 7, 2020 Time: 8:35 A.M. Cantorlot City. The city where the high society nobles and royal prestige. Most would only dream of making it there at least once in one's life. Even as a employee at the many stores, restaraunts, or even a show, they would begin their way to fullfilling a dream. Or at the very least, discover one of the great mysteries that was left behind by the five noble clans that helped to bring Canterlot to life long ago. With it's tall skyscrapers, grand hotels, beautiful family friendly parks, stores and restaurants. The list of what one person can do to enjoy both the day and night life of the city itself as a whole. Within the center of the city stands the building of the biggest mode of transportation throughout the city itself, and to parts throughout the rest of Equestria itself. Canterlot Train Station. Built back in the early 1600's, it was built out of bricks, with cynderblocks every five rows up. Multi-colored stained glass for windows, steel insulated roofing, cobblestone steps with ornate steel railings leading the open green steel gate doors of the station itself. Just stepping out of the building, we see a young man that stood at five foot, six inches, musclular, green haired, white caccassion male with bright emerald green spiked hair. At the moment, he is wearing a purple muscle shirt, blue jeans, and grean and purple themed running shoes. As he stood there at the top of the stairs, he took in a deep breathe, relaxing as the city air relaxes him as he goes down memory road. "Yup, good to be home. Still really enjoyed going collage, but nothing beats being home to find some work. Wonder if Donut Joe's is still open?" Hefting his bag on his back, he went down the stairs and began making his way through town, seeing what all has changed over the last few years since he left highschool. Passing the local park, he noticed a few families playing and having fun. "Glad to see somethings never changed. Maybe I should call the old gang, see who is still in town. Maybe have a guys night." Sighing at the thought of his calling his old childhood friends, he turns to continue walking through town. Looking around, he began to notice how little the town itself changed over the last few years. 'Wonder what Twilight will say when I tell her I'm back in town. Probably gonna get a earful for not letting her know I'm back in town.' A light shiver went down his back just thinking of how she was going to react as memories of past lectures came to mind as he began to sweat. "Hehehe, really hoping she calmed since our childhood days." Pushing the thought aside, he made his way deeper into town, searching for the one place he knew she would be at. As Spike continued to walk, he never noticed somebody dressed in a black cloak on top of a roof, watching him as he moved through the city. 'So, the young green head returns. Maybe I should give him a little, "welcome back party." The last one he'll ever have.' With a puff of smoke ingulfing him, the mysterious figure vanished. Leaving nothing behind but a few scorch marks from a small bomb left behind. Back down below, Spike managed to find the location of his search a hour later. Cantorlot City Memorial Library. A brick building that was said to have been constructed over two centuries ago that surprisingly still stood tall and proud today. Some believe it would stand the test of time, some believe it was constructed by aliens. Most believe that if the city had a heart, this library would be that heart. "Welp, guess it's time to surprise a old friend. Wonder if they got any manga in here?" Stepping forward, he had no idea of what he was in for. All he hoped is that he could get the job, and try to keep his sanity at the same time. > A Librarian's Surprise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Cantorlot City Memorial Library Time: 9:45 A.M. Canterlot City Memorial Library. The number one location of all of Canterlot City to find any information, book, or to everyones surprise, the best cup of coffee anywhere. Being built out of stone, brick and steel, the library is the number one of most locations where people come to meet, study, and just relax to read a book. Inside we see rows upon rowns of shelves full pf literature for those of the young and old. People both young and old fill the isles as they browse the grand collection of literature that has been accumalated over the centuries. "~Doo da tada dee da.~" Down one of the many isles of the library, we find a young 28 year old woman pushing a cart full of books while singing a song she currently has stuck in head. She was a atractive woman that stood five foot five with violet long hair done up in a hairbun with a few pink strands of hair in the front. Currently she was wearing a white button up short sleeve shirt with a purple long skirt that reached down to her ankles with a six pointed star adorned on the side. With a purple pair of eyglasses over her purple eyes. Breast size: C-cup. To all who come to visit, she was a well known as Twilight Sparkle, the librarian of Canterlot City Memorial Library. "~La dada ta da da.~ Dancing around as she sings to herself, she never took notice of all the stairs she was recieving from the male, and on occassion, female variety. To them, she was like a dancing mistress. In fact, they learned that each form of dance she performed could tell them of her current mood she was in. "~Da da la, la da dee, dee dee dee, ta dada.~" Currently she was skipping around and twirling around, so everyone knew she was in a happy mood at the moment. So seeing her like this, it made them want to nickname her, to her anoyment as well: 'The Dancing Librarian.' If she's sad, she drags her feet. Excited means she's jumpy. Angry though, when she's in that mood, she stomps around while muttering to herself about everything that was bothering her. Heck, that last time she was angry, everyone thought she was going crazy from how much she was muttering on about the differences between a silver steak knife, and a plastic knife. After that day, everyone silently agreed to try and keep her happy. ~Doo da, tada data. Dattadoo.~ As they watch her twirl around the book cart and effortlessly place the book into it's designated spot. To most necomers that visit, they placed it to be dumb luck. Others, they would say it's her special skill. But as Twilight continue to dance happily as she works, she never saw the new figure come up behind her, smirking as he watches her dance. 'Yup, some things never change.' Seeing as she was too cought up in her work to realize the new occupant was watching her, he decided to have a bit of fun. Cupping his hands together, the person spoke loudly, yet firmly. "Say Twilly, what would you do if I placed a book on ramen recipes on the shelf for scientific machinery of today?! Think anyone would notice it?" It was then everything became so quiet, that a pin could of been heard if somebody dropped it. All the occuppants either hid behind a bookshelf, behind the walls of the library itself, or left the library all together. All just to stay out of what was about to happen. With anger showing on her face as she gritted her teeth, Twilight spun around in anger, wanting nothing better then to tell who ever asked her a question like that. "If I told you once, I told you a thousand times.... RECIPE BOOKS BELONG IN THE COOKING SECTION! NOT IN THE SCIENCE SECTION!!" Growing a smug face, Spike figured it was enough to rile her up. Raising his hands up, he acted upon a mock surrender to the woman. "Okay Twilight, you win. Cooking section it is then. Just trying to get your attention is all." It was here he began to count in his head of how long it'll take her to realize who she was talking to. "FURTHER MORE, YOU WILL-!" It was right then Twilight got a good look at who she was yelling at, as memories of her childhood with a young green spiked haired boy came to mind. As the memories continued to accummulate in her mind, her anger died down, only to be replaced by a joyful smile. Only for Spike to prepare himself for the onslaught of questions that were about to hit him. Leaning against the shelf, he instinctively relaxed as Twilight began. "Spike! Oh, it's so good to see you! When did you get back in town? Wait, how did you get back into town? Why are you here and not in school? Are you hungry? Tired? Are you on vacation? Why are you-?!" That was all she could get out before Spike pinched a couple of fingers over her mouth, causing her to stop asking questions from the action, and start to heavily blush from the mere contact of his fingers over her lips. To her, they were gentle, yet firm to the touch. "It's good to see you too Twi. I just got into town today via train, I'm not on vacation, I graduated, no, I'm not hungry or tired as I stopped over at Donut Joe's place for a quick pick-me-up on the way over, and the reason I'm here for is to hand you this." Releasing his hold on her lips, he dug into his pocket and pulled out a white envelope addressed to her. Handing it to her, he watched as she opened it up and read the paper inside, only to go wide eye as she realized it was a work form for him to work in the library. As she read the form, she noticed he was not just qualified for the job, but her mentor, Miss ink Well, had already signed her name, giving the okay for him to work in the library. She may not be showing it on the outside, but in her mind, she was worried about a secret she and her friends were hiding from him. "Um Twilight? You okay there?" Shaking her thoughts away from Spikes voice, she ragained a smile of joy knowing her youngest friend has returned. 'Maybe I'll tell him later. For now, I'm just glad he's back.' Placing his form into her pocket, Twilight surpisingly to everyone else in the building, and the envy of the young men in the building, she walked up to Spike and hugged him, pressing her breasts against his chest. Seeing her act like this brought a renewed smile to his face as memories of the past filled his mind, and warming his heart, he returned the hug in kind as she began to whisper low enough for only him to hear. "I'm fine Spike.Everything is perfectly fine. Come on, the form said you'd be needing a place to stay, and it just so happens that there is a spare room upstairs." Releasing the hug, Twilight gave him a warm smile as she took in the moment of him being back in town. Smiling, Spike reached back behind the book case, and to Twilight's astonishment, picked his bags up. Grinning, Spike hefted the bags up. "Thanks Twilight. Lead the way, 'boss.' I'm right behind you." Giggling at the tittle, Twilight twirled around in her spot, causing Spike to chuckle. Not only from seeing her danced cutely with a smile adorned her face, but also from thinking he opened a can of worms by calling her boss. "Okay, follow me! Twilight Sparkle, the boss. I love the sound of that." As she began to lead him away, the men in the library kept a close eye on Spike as he followed her, thinking of how lucky he is as everyone heard he'll be not only working under her, but also be living in the same building as well. Many would kill to get even close of a chance to get even to know her personally. If the men in the library didn't hate Spike earlier when he first arrived, they sure as tarterous did now for being very friendly with the librarian, Twilight Sparkle. > New Room, Plans Made > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walking up the stairs, Twilight led Spike to the upper rooms where she was currently staying. To say Spike wasn't surprised by this was a understatement. 'Only Twilight would find a way to live in a place full of books. Her love for books and learning is great and all, but seriously, I really gotta find somebody to agree with me that it's a addiction for her.' At the top of the stairs, she took a set of keyes, and to his shock, out of nowhere, unlocked the door, and opened it. Walking in, Twilight looked back to Spike and giggled a bit at his confused face. "Spike? Are you alright?" Hearing her speak seemed to bring him back to reality. But it did raise a few questions for him as from just looking at Twilight's attire, she had no pockets or place to put keys at. 'Did she have them in her... No, she wouldn't do... Then again... Nah! Maybe I missed them earlier?' "Spike? Earth to Spike?" Hearing her again, Spike filed the thought away for later and focus on her. Chuckling, he relaxed his mind by focusing on the hallway infront of him. Taking in the red brick walls with photo's of past librarians that work within the building years ago. "Hm? Oh! Yeah, sorry Twi, just trying to make and keep a map of the place in my head. Maybe find something embarressing to use against you when around your friends." Blushing a bit, Twilight smirked at the challenge. "Okay. But just keep in mind that if you do that, then you'll leave me no choice but to talk about... 'The Pool Incident.' Wonder what they'll think of you after I tell them about it." Glaring daggers at her, Spike's voice became monotone as he became serious. It almost made Twilight tremble from hos he was acting. "We signed a contract of agreement of silence, stating that we'd take what happened on that day to the grave. Or have you forgotten, seeing as you, may I remind you, not only fought to keep it a secret, but was also the one who wrote said contract? So, unless you placed a loophole in the fine print saying that you can use it as a weapon, I don't see how you can use that against me." Smirking, Twilight pretened to polish her nails before blowing on them. Seeing her act like this, Spike glared even harder at her. "You gotta be kidding me. You put a loophole in the contract, didn't you?" Giggling as she stopped infront of a group of doors, Twilight eyed him playfully. Unfortunately, Spike sensed a bit of evil intent behind it all as she giggled with a bit of mirth similar to that of a fox. "Oh dear, sweet, innoccent, Spike. I'll never tell you if I did or not. But what I can tell you is that we arrived to your new room." Using the keys she had, she unlocked a door and opened it to reveal a spacious room with brick walls and wooden floors, a king size bed, dresser, a full body mirror, a desk made of mahagony, and a walk in closet. Walking in, he set his stuff by the foot of the bed before grinning at the new surroundings of the room. Already picturing how to best set his room up to match his style of living. Watching him, Twilight pulled out her phone from out of nowhere and took a picture of him before having it vanish again. Walking into the room, she held a key out to him, who took it and placed it into his pocket. "Welcome to your new home Spike. Really glad your back." Chuckling, he smiled a toothy grin to her. Feeling nostalgia from being with a old friend again. "Glad to be back Twi. What say after I unpack we go and celebrate?" Giggling, she nodded before she had a idea. Turning and heading out side she remembered certain info she forgot to tell him earlier. "I'll go head back to the library. The bathroom is at the end of the hall, and my room is two doors down on the right. I'm gonna head back to work, so just take time to unpack and relax, and we'll head out tonight." Chuckling, Spike nodded in agreement as he watched her dance off with a smile on her face. Looking back to his room and placing his stuff on the bed, he got to work on unpacking. After making sure she was out of site, Twilight pulled her phone out again and began to check her messages. Scrolling through, she found the group chat she and her friends use active with messages. ~ยค~ A.J.: Hey Twi! Ya still coming tonight? R.D.: Yeah! It's your turn to pay tonight! Rare: Indeed darling. You did lose the game of poker. F.S.: We'll understand if you can't though. P.P.: C'mon, it'll be super duper FUN!! S.S.: C'mon Twilight. You can't spend all your time in the library. ~ยค~ Chuckling a bit, a idea came to mind to not only surprise her friends, but also get them to really have fun tonight. After afirming her idea, she began to answer her messages. ~ยค~ T.S.: Don't worry girls, I haven't forgotten, and we'll be there. R.D.: Okay, cya there egghead! ~ยค~ Waiting a few moment's, Twilight waited a couple of moments before she got the answer she was looking for from her friends. ~ยค~ A.J.: Wait ah minute... Twi, what do you mean by 'we'? Rare: Oh my stars! Did you meet somebody?! DETAILS!! T.S.: Sorry girls, no spoilers. You'll find out tonight. ~ยค~ Placing her phone away, Twilight began to skip her way back to the library part of the building. Showing just how excited she was for tonight. As she made it back into the library, she noticed a few men looking a bit angry, and a few distrought. Thinking nothing about it, she returned to her work, she continued to the front desk and return back to her work. > Night out with Friends! Explosive trouble begins! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Cantorlot City, Downtown Area Time: 7:00 P.M. It was dark out as night has fallen over Cantorlot City. As young kids are asleep, and friends, couples, and workers just getting off from work roam the streets. Walking along one of the many streets of the city, we see two certain individuals. "C'mon Spike, were almost there! Just a couple of more blocks to go!" Still in the same attire from earlier, in the day, but now carrying a violet purse over her shoulder, Twilight led Spike through the city on foot. Dutifully, he followed her, chuckling as he learned before they left the library that she still can't drive a car well enough to get a license. "Seriously Twi. Your older then me, and yet the only form of I.D. you have is your Canterlot I.D. issued to you from the library? That's just sad." Gritting her teeth from the jab of having no drivers license, Twilight tried to calm herself as they rounded a corner, grinning as she saw the location ahead before chuckling it off as best she could. "Oh please, who needs to drive? I like walking just fine. Side's it's not like you have a drivers license. Or even a car to drive! Right?" Smirking from thinking she was right, she turned to him knowing she won. Only for it to turn into a surprised jaw drop at seeing him holding a drivers license in his hand. "I may not have a ride yet, but I did pass the test on the first try while in school. If you want, I could give you a few pointers to help you pass the test." Growling at Spike, she pouted cutely before she looked away and continued onward to the destination, stomping with each step she took as she mumbled about how unfair it was that she was the only one in her circle of friends without a lisence. Following, Spike placed his lisence back into his pocket, smirking as he followed her along. As they continued to walk, they soon reached there destination. A three story tall red brick building painted light blue color with red tribal designs etched around the door and blue tinted windows, and a wooden sign etched to look like half of a sun and half of a moon merged into one. Upon seeing the place, Twilight smiled brightly again, forgeting about her lisence issue from before. She could already taste the flavor of her drink already. "Alright Spike, were here. Welcome to the best pub in town. The Sister's Eclispe. It's literally the only place in town that centers around where me and my friends each work. Plus, we enjoy having a poker night here every once in a while." Looking between the pub and Twilight, Spike began to have second thoughts on what he was seeing. His long time friend, Twilight Sparkle, not only plays poker, but drinks too. 'Last I remember, just a tiny whiff of anything with alcohol in it, and she freezes up before falling flat on her back, passed out, and drunk. Hm, kinda makes me wonder just how much she can drink? Plus, she has the worst poke face on this side of Equestris.' "Hey! Spike? Earth to Spike? ~Yoohoo...~" Shaking his head, he looked to her as she stood by the entrance motioning for him to follow her. Catching up to her, she opened the door and imidiately spotted her friends at there favorite corner table. "C'mon Spike! They are already here waiting on us!" Pulling him by the arm, he was hauled into the pub and was instantly amazed at the decor on the inside. Wooden tables along the main floor, nicely spaced to allow walking room for others without disturbing those who were sitting. Booths along the far wall with speakers built into the wall for radio brodcasts. On the opposite wall, he saw a fully stocked bar made to look like it was made out of strong and sturdy mahogany wood, allowing for taps, all forms of drinks, and ice machines, tools, and glasses to be placed along it. Lining the outside of the bar section were ten stools standing tall and ready for any who wish to take a seat. On the off side of the bar was a doorway leading into the kitchen. Looking to Twilights friends, Spike had a hard time managing a massive blush too appear on his face. For in a booth sat six women that were just as beautiful as he thinks Twilight was. "Hey girls! Been waiting long?" Upon hearing Twilights voice, her friends turned to her with smiles upon there faces. "Twilight! And just like that, they all got up and gave her a group hug. Seeing this, Spike had to turn away to hid his blush from seeing Twilight being smothered by her friends breasts close to her face. 'Don't think of it Spike. They're all friends with Twilight, Spike. It's not like she enjoys being smothered by six pairs of-! GAH! NO SPIKE! BAD SPIKE!! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE DAMN FORBIDDEN GUTTER!!' As they released Twilight from the group hug, the girls soon took notice of Spike, gaining confused looks from them. Seeing this, she gestered to him to step up. "Girls, I want you to meet a old friend of mine who just recently came to work at the library. Everyone, meet Spike Drake. Spike, meet my friends: Sunset Shimmer..." "Hey there." Sunset Shimmer - Standing at the same height as Twilight, she has orange eyes, long red and gold hair, she was wearing a black leather jacket with a print of a red and golden sun on the back, a yellow button up shirt that barely held her generous bussom within. With a pair of dark blue jeans, and yellow sneakers. Breast Size: D-Cup. "...Applejack..." "Howdy." Applejack - A green eyed, tan skinned girl with long blonde hair braided down to her lower back. Wearing a brown stetson on her head, she was currently wearing a red plaid shirt, barely containing her generous bust, she was definently the muscle of the group of friends from how she had muscular arms, and toned legs hidden within a pair of light blue jeans held with a brown leather belt, and brown cowgirl boots. Breast Size: DD-Cup. "...Pinkie pie..." "Hi! Pinkie Pie - Dressed in a pink t-shirt over her pudgy belly, blue shorts with a pink skirt that just barely covered her bubble butt that seemed to jiggle with every move she made. Her bright pink hair, that surprisingly matched her eye color, was poofy and full of sprinkles and buttons shaped into pieces of candy. Breast Size: D-Cup. "...Rarity..." "Hello darling." Rarity - With purple curled hair, Rarity wore a white button up blouse to both emphasize, yet conceal her bussom. Wearing a purple knee length skirt, ankle socks, and sneakers, she wor a diamon necklace around her neck to match her blue eyes. Breast Size: D-Cup. "...Rainbow Dash..." "Sup." Rainbow Dash - With short rainbow colored hair and blue eyes. She was currently wearing a blue light weight zip-up jacket over a crop top, leaving her mid-section open on display like Applejack. With blue sweat pants and sneakers to finnish her look. Breast Size: C-Cup "...and Fluttershy." "Um... U-Uh... H-Hello." Fluttershy - Waist long light pink hair and green eyes, dressed in a green sweater with a butterfly design around the midsection, dark blue jeans, and brown sandles. Even though her clothes emphasized her curves, she shyly hid behind her hair, only allowing her right eye to peek out. Breast Size: G-Cup Keeping his eyes on each girl as Twilight introduced each to him, he had a hard time keeping his eyes off there personal assets. Of course, it didn't help that he was blushing up a storm. "Hello everyone, pleasure to meet each of you. Hope we can be friends." Seeing him act like this, the girls began to giggle before Twilight spoke up. "Oh, do you still blush when you see something you like Spike? Seriously? I thought you would of gotten over this already." Blushing a even deeper shade of red, Spike looked at her with stern eye's, making her slightly flinch and feel highly uncomfortable from his gaze. "This coming from you? Seriously, just one whiff of your older brother's whiskie and you were knocked out on the floor, giggling like a school girl with a full on blush on your face." Hearing this, three things happened simotaneously. Twilight Sparkle blushed so red, steam began to pour out of her ears. Sunset, Rainbow, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie began to laugh whole heartedly from the tid bit of information of Twilight's past. And Fluttershy and Rarity only tried to hide there giggle fits, just trying to control themselves. Looking about, Twilight tried to look for a change of subject. Anything to get her out of feeling embarressed. It was then she seen the menu of drinks and food served at this establishment. Grabbing it, she held it up to hide her embarressment. "Oh! Look! The menu! Okay, how about we order our drinks, shall we?" Seeing her act like this only earned another round of laughter from everyone present, embarressing her further. Outside the pub, up on a roof of the building just across the street, we see the mysterious figure standing with a cloak still covering her face. Taking a calming breathe, she grinned with pure anger set into her mind as she raised a hand up to the front door of the pub. "Well, time to end a dragon spirit's life. Kinda sad though, he was so cute as a kid, and now he's a handsome young man. Oh well, orders are orders I guess." With a snap of a finger, explosions are heard as the the streets become filled with flames and destruction. All the while laughter is heaed from the mysterious figure, feeling as though she was gonna succeeded in her mission. 'Time for the real fun to begin.' Chuckling, she started to laugh with maliced laced into her voice, causing all who heard her begin to scream and run out of fear of the mysterious mad woman. "~ Time to begin the hunt!~"
