Chapter 14 The Downfall of the Solar Empire , Final Stages of Training

Moon City

Several hours after the battle on the moon

Most of the military was helping the ponies get there lives back into order , all the while policing the streets for any solar stormtroopers , that were still left on the moon .

All the while Rainbow Dash and her shadowbolt squadron along with Nightmare Squadron had landed back at the hanger at Beta Delta 6 , she got out of her shortsword and found her human friend on crutches for some odd reason. Confused she ran up to him concerned about his well being . "Hey you okay , Adam?" asked Rainbow concerned .

"yea i'm fine , it's just the doctor told me that I'll have to be on crutches for a while , well that is until they can repair my legs , I'll tell ya all about it" said Adam . "I'm just glad your okay" said Rainbow with tears down her face . "Yea , that battle was one of my toughest that I had fought" .

"I know , and that dogfight that I was in well , I lost most pilots under my command but lets just be thankful that we are alive" said Rainbow . They soon made it back to there home , or what's left of it . "Well lets take a seat so I can put my feet up" .

Adam's POV

I was able to gently put my feet on the still standing table , hours later Rainbow soon joined me . "So how did you survive?" asked Rainbow . "Well let me tell ya" I said .

Flashback

Location : NLR Once More Unto The Breach

I had my weapons officer Quick fix , fire several missiles at the the solar ships hoping to get there attention .

Well it worked Rainbow , however though what happened was my fleet was starting to fall apart , others decided to try suicide runs once they exhausted there weapons, others however , stood there ground , me I did the samething , I stood my ground and did what I could to protect the moon.

"Status on the energy shields?" I asked as calm as I could . "Sir the energy shields are holding but with this much firepower I fear that they may fail at any given time" said Quick fix .

"Alright keep an eye on those energy shields , now then concentrate fire on the lead ship" . "Rodger , firing missile pods A-J" . "Helm begin maneuvers Sierra delta Charlie6" I ordered .

The ship began to dive erratically , dodging most of the heavy turbolaser fire from the solar stardestroyers , but as for those dual proton torpedoes there were hard to dodge , but it worked .

I soon had several longswords take out several of the said torpedo's before serious damage could be done . However we soon picked up incoming fighters , thankfully once again , Nightmare squadron lead by Major General Rainbow Blitz covered us .

"Don't worry Captain , we'll handle them , just take out those ships , they've been giving us problems since the start of this battle" Said Rainbow Blitz . "not a problem , just take out those fighters , we'll handle those morons" I said .

After switching off communications . I soon gave the order to open fire on the nearest enemy vessel . We chose a mark one stardestroyer .

"Target his engines and weapons , and fire when ready" .

The halycon class cruiser opened fire with it's archer missile pods , followed by it's 50mm gun turrets , the overpowering fire , disabled the ship thus either it slowing down or it colliding into another ship .

As they all exploaded into one big fireball . And they say ships aren't built like that , I'd say there right on the money I thought .

"Wow , that is really tactical thinking , but how did you wind up like that?" asked Rainbow . "Oh hold your wings already , I'm getting to that part" I said ruffling her mane .

So while we did some heavy damage a mark II SD got a really lucky shot , it fired it's turbolasers , really knocking out our engines , several longswords fired there missiles at it thus destroying the bridge , but the damage was already done .

I feared that several ponies on board already died , realizing what had happened they started there boarding action , but this time I was ready for them .

I grabbed my armor and weapons and headed down to find out what in the name of the moon happened .

I soon got down to the main deck to cryochamber one , and yea like normal the entire place was SWAMPED with our troops and solar stormtroopers . "Sargent Bulletstriker , what's going on?" I asked taking cover behind an overturned cryochamber .

"Sir it's bad , they have us pinned inside and the door that leads into the main hallway is blocked" said Bullet Striker .

Thinking up a plan , I quickly opened fire on several solar stormtroopers , yea they went down easy .

"We have to hold out , I'll call for reinforcements , while we hold out as long as possible, plus we will need a way to get to the armory , it's not far from engineering" I stated .

"Rodger that" replied Bullet Striker .

"Alright men , take as many solar stormies as you can , I want as many of them dead as you can empty those clips".

"This is Captain Adam Seville , I'm requesting Reinforcements we have been boarded , repeat we have been boarded !, I say again I'm requesting reinforcements to my location" .

I soon hear a response , from the other end . "Copy that , we are sending reinforcements over to your location , just hold out as long as possible , over and out" .

I sighed knowing this was going to be a long fight. Grabbing my assault rifle I opened fire and took out more solar stormtroopers .

Again more fell , however they started to return fire , strange though it was as if something clicked inside there heads or it was as if there commander told them to open fire . Whatever it was , I knew that this was going to be an easy win for us , or so I thought .

I saw a new kind of trooper , an elite trooper , this kind of trooper was wearing black armor with a picture of the sun on it . What a surprise , and what a complete moron I thought . I opened fire but this guy has shields .

Raising an eyebrow I decided to see how well he would hold up against a grenade , pulling the pin I threw the grenade , it landed right at his feet .

He stared down at it and it exploded right in his face . Now that's a guy that can take a grenade blast to the face. It was then that I saw him get back up and surprisingly he brought his weapon out .

Thinking quick I took cover , waiting for him to open fire , and he did , it was one of those old republic mini guns that the clones used .

Blast it ! , this guy must be some kind of super soldier or something , that or he could be some kind of robot I thought . I saw the solar stormtroopers aim where he was and they concentrated there fire .

"Alright , let them empty there clips , once that happens we return fire , hitting them however use grenades to at least distract the huge pony with the mini gun" I ordered .

We opened fire on the huge pony in black armor while taking out as many solar stormtroopers as we could as well .

Apparently grenades weren't going to be enough . "Quickly we need to use the new weapons" I said . "Alright what's your plan?" asked Private Moon Flare .

"My plan is this , we are going to use the plasma weapons , ones like the Plasma Pistol , The plasma rifle , and the plasma grenade , along with the carbine , coupled with the energy sword" . Thinking it over she knew that I was right and nodded in agreement .

"Alright I think we can go along with your plan for the moment , lets see how these new weapons work" said Moon Flare .

I soon ordered what troops that weren't firing to head to the armory and gear up , hours later they returned with the new weapons , heck I even saw a needeler , thinking it cool , they opened fire on that black pony with everything that they had . I soon joined in with my M55B assault rifle getting off an entire clip of 60 bullets , I then saw the black pony flinch in pain from all the plasma hits he was taking . "Alright move in with the energy swords" .

Nodding the ponies ignited them and started to stab him where ever they could , the huge black pony soon screamed out in pure pain as he started to smash whatever he saw in his sight , the solar troops or my own .

"PULL BACK , I REPEAT PULL BACK , THIS GUY'S BECOME A WRECKING BALL!" . The troops pulled back to a safe location , while the snipers took care of him with there sniper rifles .

And in an instant he went down easy as cake , however something was off I felt some shrapnel lodged in my leg , I started to scream my head off in pure pain . Thinking fast Sargent Bullet Striker , called in a medical unit to get me out of the combat zone .

After that I blacked out , I couldn't remember a whole lot after that , and in the end for the rest of the battle I was stuck in the infirmary which sucked as I should be with my men , but the doctor told me to stay right in that bed .

She understood my need to lead my men to victory , but they can handle themselves .

Sighing I simply put my head back on the pillow , just thinking about Rainbow Dash wondering if she's okay . Soon the doctor had a grim look on his face that had to spell something . "Well doc , tel me how bad is it?" I asked .

"Well captain , there is a lot of shrapnel lodged deep within your foot , more in your leg , and I also fear that the shrapnel is lodged inbetween your muscles and bone , so you maybe out for the rest of this battle if not the entire war" he said grimly .

I sighed knowing I fought the good fight even for as long as I could . "Do I have ANY broken bones?" I asked .

"No , but I'm amazed that you don't have any broken bones , but with that shrapnel lodged in between your leg muscles , you getting up and walking again would be a bad idea , as it would cut right through the muscle like a knife through butter , same for the bone, I can't risk having you do that to yourself , sir , but what I can recommend is that after this battle is that we can send you to the Moon City Hospital and well hope for the best" she explained . "so to put it bluntly , I won't be able to walk until this shrapnel is out of me , am I right?" .

"I'm afraid so sir" said the doctor grimly . "well I think I know a couple of ponies who can help with me , Fluttershy and Butterscotch" I said proudly .

"Well yea , I know those two , they have saved as many lives as they could , so I'm sure that they can get you right as rain again sir" he said with a smile . "Thanks , how soon till we drive off those morons?"I asked .

"Oh the solar Fleet ? , not long , there lines are already crumbling beneath the combined might of the Changelings and the Griffins along with us at that , in but a few hours they will have to retreat" he said . "You should be on the bridge , what you said" .

"Thanks but no thanks , my place is here , treating patients , and also just doing what I'm doing , cause without me or anypony to treat injured , then the entire ship would be packed full" . "Okay I guess that's true" I said .

"So who are you?" I asked . "Oh ? , well no ones really asked me my name before , very well I'm Nurse Plumsweet" said Plumseet with a soft smile . "Then you already know who I am" I said with a cheese eating grin .

"Ah you must be the human , Adam Seville from Earth , well it's an honor to meet you" said Plumsweet . I shook her hoof and she went back to work while I just laid there , not moving an inch .

"Ah you do care about me , that's really sweet , but how bad did you get hit with that shrapnel even with your armor on?" asked Rainbow .

"Well that's an easy one , several grenade blasts from the frag grenades well it tore a hole in my right leg exposing it , and that's how I wound up with that scar , thanks to Fluttershy , Butterscotch and Plum Sweet , they got me back on track , but they also said it would be a while before I can get back into the war" I said .

FLASHBACK END

I soon finished telling her what happened , so I rolled up my right pants leg and showed her the scar , Rainbow as amazed as she ran her hoof along it , I really didn't feel a single thing .

"This ones a keeper" said Rainbow. Hours later I heard a knocking , before I could get up Rainbow told me that she would get the door .

She opened it and surprisingly , it was none other than Fluttershy , more than likely wanting to check on me see how i'm holding up.

She told me to stand up , while Rainbow Dash wanted me to sit down , I did it but with difficulty , I walked around the house for a bit , as I would have to do this for a while longer , I'd say about maybe two or three weeks at that.

"Alright , no more than an hours worth walking then take a break and resume , if you keep doing what you just did now , then you'll be back fighting no time at all" said Fluttershy . I nodded and soon sat back down on the couch and well rested .

Hours later Applejack came by and told me to take it easy for awhile while Silver stream would handle any and all command duties .

"Thanks , and if you ask me , I wouldn't mind something like this , I just don't expect it to happen" I said with a slight chuckle .

"Ah know well , ya just take it easy , and don't worry , Ah'm sure you'll be right as rain , soon" said Applejack with a smile . "thanks".

She soon left saying she had to attend to duties down on the farm , heck who was I to keep her from her chores . I decided to take a snooze since I severally needed it .

Once I shut my eyes , unknowingly I soon felt a second body cuddle up to me , oh I know who it is , Rainbow Dash , yea she's as loyal as one can get , I'm glad I met her and I'm glad I'm friends with her .

In a bar in New Canterlot

Several ponies by the names of Truly , Silver light , Eternal Galaxy , Lunar Rave , Midnight Rave , Moon Petal , Skyfall , Victer Urhwerk , and Midnight Shade .

"Alright , word has it that the Princess Luna and her forces are going to attack , the solar Empire at Cloudsdale , all we have to do is transmit ALL there intel , that should give them an advantage of somesort to give them a victory in this war to help turn it in there favor" said Silver Light .

"While I do agree , how in the moon are we going to get there intel , it's not like they keep it in a folder locked away in a filing cabit somewhere in the castle" said Eternal Galaxy .

"You all leave that part to me , I'll grab there intel , while at the sametime deploy a custom made recorder , that will record everything , and then I'll have the recorder cloak it's self and go from there" explained Victer . Truly heck everypony looked at him like he was nuts , but they did agree like it was the best plan .

"However , once we deploy the recorder , we will have to make sure that it records automatically instead of one of us sneaking in and pressing record ourselves cause one of us or ALL of us would be caught , and arrested for treason , if were going to do this then we have to plan this out carefully , then sit back and watch it all unfold before our very eyes" said Midnight Rave .

She was right , it would have to be timed and executed , so that way , they wouldn't get caught nor arrested , however if that fails then plan B.

"Alright if this plan fails , then plan B" said Victer . Raising an eyebrow , Truly was eyeballing him . "Okay what in the name of the moon is plan B?" asked Truly .

"Plan B is this , we record what we can , if we get caught then we make a break for one of the cargo pelicans and make sure it's headed straight for Equiss , from there we deliver it to Celestia" . Thinking it over , they would have to meet in another location but somewhere more in secret.

The group soon disbanded and would later meet at the same place at the same time , and make sure they meet in seceret , instead of at a bar .

"Perhapes we could meet this time at say one of your houses" purposed Victer .

They thought it over and agreed as they left they noticed two ponies listening in on them . Said ponies were Octavia and Vinyel Scratch . "did you hear what they were going to do tavi ? , we have to try and warn the princess" said Vinyl urgently . "Vinyl , Don't worry yourself, I'm sure whatever it is there planning it will fail , the castle is normally locked up tighter than all of New Canterlot" said Octavia .

Calming down a bit Vinyl decided to at least try and let it go and just hang with her friend . However inside of her mind so many questions were and are running through her head .

Back at Moon City

Princess Luna was looking over the Intel that she had gathered about Cloudsdale and was arranging the briefing in the war room .

But however was unaware of what was about to happen tomorrow , somepony or someponies would betray her for her sister Empress Celestia .

I think we can pull this off , with only three victories on the ground , several in the air , and even several more in space I think we can win Cloudsdale , however , Celestia would have her guards positioned all over the city , yet it's the same with the cloudsdale guard as well , there all going to be under the command of Captain Shining Armor , I think this battle is going to be the hardest one we had ever fought in our lives Thought Luna .

The lunar princess decided it would be best to take a break and simply take a simple stroll through the castle to at least shake her mind off of that battle with Celestia.

Something was off about her , but maybe all that power is going to her head , maybe that's the reason why she nuked all those cities after the battle for Manehatten , and perhaps why we had to alter our plan so now we are going to attack Cloudsdale this time , but I wonder , is our military up to it , we did suffer some losses .

Luna shook her head and figured that maybe a nap would ease her mind from that battle with her sister Celestia , it was like she was different , in form and how she fought , it was like she had become more than just a simple alicorn , almost like a madmare with god like status and yet 'respected' by her own ponies , all praising loyalty to the Solar Empire .

She soon entered her personal chambers closed the door and simply collapsed on the bed going out like a light .

DREAM SCAPE

Luna soon entered the dream scape where she summoned a simple desk with several pictures of her and her family , and some of her and Celestia . Looking at them , she did feel the hatred and betrayel of her own sister !.

Shaking it off , she looked onwards , several ponies were asleep but no nightmares to handle , which was fine cause at least , she just wanted to relax for a bit . Hours later both Nightmare Moon and Star Chaser entered and saw Luna looking a bit shaken up .

Concerned they walked over to her with concerned looks on there faces clear as day . "Luna what's wrong?" asked Nightmare Moon.

"It's Celestia , She's Changed" said Luna simply . Nightmare Moon looked at her sister in confusion , as did Star Chaser .

"Luna I know , that Celestia changed , she did ever since she started to become a tyrant , this is why we have to stop her , heck even the united Equestrian Union is out for her blood" said Star Chaser .

"Yes but , how can I beat her without holding back , I see her as my sister and yet I held back in that battle on the moon , ON the moon" . Said Nightmare Moon .

The black alicorn wrapped her sister in a hug and held her there , Star Chaser soon joined in and hugged the both of them.

"Understand that Celestia did this to get rid of the both of you for 1,000 years while it worked yes , she failed to realize that the whole eternal night thing was a ruze and a start for the second Lunar Rebellion" .

Finally with a new sense of vigor Luna stood on all four hooves and looked to both of her sisters before hugging the stuffing out of them .

"Thank you both , now I think I have an idea on how to plan my next move for Cloudsdale" said Luna with a small smile.

She shimmered out of view , only leaving Star Chaser and Nightmare Moon . "Nightmare , you think we can win the battle for Cloudsdale ?" asked Star Chaser .

"I think we can , considering that this maybe one of our hardest that we have ever fought" replied Nightmare Moon .

"Your right , at the battle , we should be there and well do what soldiers do , fight until there nothing left to fight with" said Star chaser . "I agree , in fact I'll see if I can rally more of the Lunar Royal Family to partake in this fight"

And with that Nightmare Moon shimmered out of view only leaving Star Chaser to ponder her own thoughts .

It's weird , I did see Luna holding herself back ,when we were fighting Celesita , I could see it in her movements , and on top of that Celestia just simply pressed the attack , leaving us to step in for her and fight , though she did hold her own , she will need physical training in order to gain what she missed for 1,000 years thought Star Chaser .

NLR BOOTCAMP

With Lunar Gaming

during those days at the crucible , the recruits all trained there hardest , learning hoof to hoof , night and day operations , and dragging a dead body out of the combat zone . Alright Recruits , you can do this , don't fail me now thought Lunar Gaming .

It was winding down to the final days of the crucible and this was it , teamwork , working together in several setup exercises .

"Listen up Recruits , I want you to get over this wall , while at the sametime working with your teammates , I will be watching you all along with this changeling that had arrived , his name is black sun and he too will be watching you as well on how well , you all accomplish this task , remember what you did over the last few weeks , and put it to use" said Lunar gaming .

With that said , the recruits either scaled the wall , or climbed over it and swung across all the while working with there teammates , Black sun however saw some struggling but were able to pull it off , others did it quite well , and moved on to placing the C-4 on a moving solar vehicle and working with there teammates set off said explosive . "well Sargent , I'd say your recruits are doing quite well" said Black sun proudly .

"Thank you , after all , you have yet to watch Trail blazers recurits, he too has been working on the crucible as I have only in a different part of the sea of tranquility" said Lunar gaming once that was done , Lunar Gaming and Black Sun headed off back to the main part of Bootcamp .

However Black Sun headed over to see how Trail Blazers recruits were doing , and much to his shock , they were performing quite well , not a single complaint , not a single whine groan , nor 'mommy it's too hard' , he soon headed over to trail blazer who was working his recurits to the bone .

With Trail blazer

"Alright Recurits Sargent Black Sun of the Changeling Swarm is going to be overseeing your performance , thus far , I have trained you over the past few weeks for this , this is what you've all been trained for , don't fail me" said Trail Blazer . "AYE SIR" and with that said the recruits did what they had to do .

Much to black Sun's amazement he saw what a recruit or private should do , follow orders without any question at all .

THIS is what either a recruit or private SHOULD do , wait until the queen hears about this thought black sun with a smile .

He soon saw , Trail Blazers recruits work also on there night and day operations , battle field formations , along with there formations in general as well . Amazed he jotted this down in his head as he observed alongside , Trail Blazer .

NLRMC Graduation

Princess Luna , Princess Nightmare Moon , and Princess Star Chaser , along with Captain Appeljack , Captain Rainbow Dash , Captain Adam Seville , Major General Rainbow Blitz and even Brigadier General Dark Tide of Lunar squadron watched both drill instructors lead there sets of recruits in style and glory for all to see .

After said graduation , the parents of there family came to greet them . As for the high ranking military officers , well they too came to greet the graduated recruits .

"All I can say is wow , Sargents Trail Blazer and Lunar gaming , you both did a fine Job on these recruits" said princess Luna proudly .

"Thank you your highness , I know for a fact that these fine young marines will do there best in the field" said Lunar Gaming with a smile .

"I agree , we did what we could to train them , now it's up to them to use there experience they gained at boot camp and apply it in the field" added Trail Blazer .

Moon City Castle

Princess Luna , finally was able to wrap up going over the intel with a fresh mind and a clear line of thinking .

Celestia you don't have a single clue as to when I am going to strike do you ! , well it would come as NO surprise as to when you foolishly attacked the moon , but now , Your going to pay ! ,and soon you will be dead at my hooves , one way or another! Thought Luna .

This was it , the final preperations of the briefing of the Battle for Cloudsdale , an easy turning point for the NLR and the defeat of the solar Empire , and the death of Celestia !.

New Canterlot

Location : the sleeping pony

Truly along with her associates , met in one room to plan there defection to the Solar Empire , with the intel . "I take it , everything is ready?" asked Truly .

"Indeed it is , the cloaked drone is ready , and on top of that , I am also making sure it not only records , but stores the data on a secret file that only Celestia can view for her own eyes" said Victer.

He made the final adjustments on the drone , as it was shaped in a sphere like form with a single small camera mounted on the underportion of it and even had a shrunken down cloaking device that went off with a press of a button from afar .

One thing was for sure that , when they get the data that they need , they will have to guide the remote back to them and make a run for a landing pad , steel a ship , get to Equiss , and deliver the intel to Celestia herself.

"Alright , but one of us will have to remotely pilot the sphere , activate the cloaking device and make sure to record the briefing" said Night Shade .

One thing was for sure , that this wasn't going to be easy but it had to be done , FOR CELESTIA , FOR THE SOLAR EMPIRE! .

There is NO way , that Luna is going to stop us from getting this information to Celestia! Thought Moon Petal .

They agreed , and just hung out in there room for the rest of there time getting weapons off the black market via outside of New Canterlot , said weapons they purchased was a M55A Assault Rifle , a Colt 45 , an energy sword , an M6 Spartan laser , a customized Rocket Launcher , a mini gun , an M90 shotgun , a tactical shotgun , an M7 Submachine gun , and an AK 47 to round it all off .

Looking over Night Shade went for the M55A Assault rifle and the colt 45 , while Sky fall went with the AK 47 , and the M7 submachine gun , Truly had her weapon her BR55HB battle rifle and several frag grenades , Moon Petal spotted a magnum pistol , she grabbed it before anyone else could .

Aurora moon however spotted an M16 assault rifle , she too grabbed that weapon and hoisted it on her back . "This is going to be fun" said Eternal Galaxy with an evil grin .

Victer however chose an interesting weapon , the M14 battle rifle .

The other ponies all picked out weapons as well . "Now that we are all are armed and extremly dangerious , I also included ammo for us to carry with us so we don't run out and get locked up to top it off" said Victer .

They all nodded and grabbed there ammo for there weapon or weapons , they even grabbed a couple of both frag and plasma grenades .

"Soon Celestia , you will have the intelligence to beat the New Lunar Republic" said Midnight Shade with a evil smile .

Moon City

Adam's POV

Since it was always night time , I couldn't tell a whole lot , however though , I woke up after a MAJOR surgery and Fluttershy told me that I am able to walk again , yea they got all the little fragments OUT of my foot and thank goodness for that .

"Now that I'm going to be back in action , I think it's time that I now show those solar moron's how things are really done" I said . Rainbow looked up to me with a soft smile .

"yea and I'll be right by your side kicking flank , heck I'll always be there" said Rainbow softly . "yea and heck I was well adopted into YOUR family , how cool is that?" I asked .

"Well since Mom did that I'd say that's it's awesome , now your going to have to get to meeting my dad , thankfully you got the support of my mom to help in that department" said Rainbow . "yea thanks , so I think I can participate in this coming battle" .

"yea , hopefully we don't loose cause Cloudsdale is going to be a turning point for all of us , or it could be a turning point for them" .

"yea I think your right , well lets get some rest" I said .

losing my eyes , I felt Rainbow do the samething , yea her and me are connected since I helped her

Poor mare , she really was crying or nearly , I can't blame her , Twilight disowning her and the rest of her friends , that's just not cool oh she did disown Spike as well ! , well I'm going to be kicking more flank ! Count on it !

Canterlot ,Equestria

Twilight Sparkle was reading another book in the Royal Canterlot Archives , when she heard some kind of rumbling sound , shaking it off as nothing she continued to read , that was when she saw a dragon within the halls of the castle , getting curious she saw that he was known as Royal Ribbon.

"Oh you must be Twilight Sparkle , I'm Royal Ribbon a dragon working with the Solar Empire" said Royal Ribbon .

Sure he looked like spike but the color scheme was sure different but apart from the color scheme he reminded of Spike , the one dragon she would rather forget .

"Well it's nice to meet you Royal Ribbon , anyway what's Celestia up to?" asked Twilight curious .

"Well Celestia's working on upgrading the lightsabers herself , since she doesn't trust the solar research and development to do that , she would rather do it herself , other than that we are working on developing the thermal detonator , basically it's a grenade , kind of like the ones you've seen in past battles" said Royal Ribbon .

Celestia soon came out of the seceret room behind the throne room and told Twilight what Royal Ribbon told her a few minutes ago . "

Twilight while your plan was bad , we do need to step up our game , and what better way than having to spy on the New Lunar Republic to beat them at there own game" said Celestia . The two of them walked out of the throne room and into a hallway .

"Spy on them? , what do we hope to gain from that?" asked Twilight .

"Well we are going to be gaining Intel , from them of course , also we are going to need to develop our own spy network so we can gather more information" explained Celestia .

Other than that the two talked about various things like how to better improve themselves and start to win some battles against the NLR .

"Twilight , if it comes down to Nuclear fall out , I am instructing you to build your own Empire and carry on in my place , should the Luna and her forces and allies attack Canterlot" said Celestia .

"I'm Already doing that Princess , so you don't have to worry about a thing" said Twilight with a smile . "Alright, I'm trusting you" .

And so the two kept talking and enjoying each others company , one thing was for sure that sooner or later they would have to protect Cloudsdale from the NLR , even if by gathering there intel and hitting them hard as possible even if by surprise . Luna you are in for quite a surprise , trust me on that ! Thought Celestia evilly .
