Chapter 19 Victory Celebration

A/n: and so we come to chapter 19 , are we far from ending this story ? Nope , we still have this and chapter 20 to get through , and thanks once again to Snowflake the pegasus for reviewing , enjoy :)

Moon City Castle

Everypony was partying , even the griffins and the changelings . Four humans were also chatting it up with there ponies .

Surprise was sure happy to see , Danny again and Shady was glad to see Molly but the one pony that sure surprised the most was Firefly , she was so happy she hugged the stuffing out of Megan .

And Adam ? Well he was talking with Rainbow Dash who was sure glad that every pony made it out safely . But something was off with Spike , something that seemed …. sad .

"hey Spike , what's wrong?" asked Adam concerned . "Well it's my race , did they make it out alive , are they okay?" asked Spike concerned .

"Well they didn't , we had a radio transmission telling us to not pick them up as they have accepted there fate and wanted to stay on the planet" said Adam .

Tears started to form in the young dragon's eyes , and he ran out of the castle crying . And yet Rainbow wanted to hit him upside the head but she knew he was right for telling him .

"You did the right thing in telling him, it was easier for him to find out the easy way than the hard way" said Rainbow .

"Yea , hold on where's Dusk shine?" asked Adam confused .

"I don't know at the moment , lets go find him" said Rainbow .so the two left the castle but to only find , Dusk Shine comforting the young dragon with Barbra there as well .

Dusk Shines POV

I didn't know what happened , but judging from how Spike was crying , it seemed that he found out he was the last of his king Barbra had also been told the samething .

When Zecora asked about her kind , well lets just say that she too ran out in tears and well we all hugged each other .

While I don't blame our human friend for telling the truth , he could have put it in a nicer way !

But I digress , this is a party after all , and we should enjoy ourselves , but I am not mad at Adam , he did do the right thing after all .

"we are going to have a talk about this" I said with a slight glare.

"I know" said Adam with his head hung low.

With that said Spike was feeling a bit better same with Zecora , but I wondered half the time he would be better emotionally , from what he had found out that is , we soon got back inside the castle and rejoined the party ponies party , I have to say that Pinkie Pie , Bubble berry and Surprise are enjoying themselves after all this .

And thinking back , I had wondered as to why Celestia or Solar Flare as she called herself became a tyrant , a madmare , and evil? . I decided to ask Princess Luna this and her answer was this .

"She became all of that , through power , passing unfair laws and taxes directed at business families like the apples , the cakes , or the cherries , many a time I tried to get her to appeal those laws but she didn't listen" said Luna with a frown on her face .

Well I guess that answered my question so me and Luna got to talking for a while the other ponies partied , that is until a guard came in with something to tell the lunar princess .

"Princess Luna , more pelicans had landed with injured ponies , possibly dead ones at that , but all air force squadrons had reported in , Town's like Trottingham , Baltimare , and Manehatten , were evacuated and secured from being blown away by the nuclear fallout" he reported .

"Very well guard , seems like the hospital is going to be swamped with more patents" said Luna .

With that said the guard turned to enjoy himself , he headed into the armory from where I was , and soon came out with no armor on him and well he just decided to join in the fun with Pinkie Pie for some reason , reasons that even I have no clue about .

I really felt bad for not saving Spike race like that , but how was I suppose to know Celestia would throw a monkey wrench like that , shaking it off I headed through the many hall ways and out onto a balcony just to gaze up at the stars .

Hours later I saw both Rainbow Dash and Princess Luna join me .

"tis lovely up here is it not?" asked Luna as she grabbed a chair with her magic . "Yea it is , hey why couldn't we save the dragons nor the zebras?" I asked curiously .

"Yea how come ? , both Spike and Zecora are both the last of there kind" added Rainbow with a frown. Princess Luna pondered this question , minutes later she came up with an answer.

"I suppose we weren't aware of the situation , nor could we reach them , just before the nuclear missile hit , they told us to not rescue them that there time has finally come and they wish to be with there ancestors , as for the zebra nation , they didn't have any modern ways to contact us , so I suppose they couldn't live in a wasteland filled planet" said Luna with a frown . I could tell that while we won the war , it was a bitter sweet victory .

I guess Pinkie is having the time of her life with her brother and her mother ,and here I am adopted with Rainbow's family , guess I should feel lucky I thought .

But on a happier note , I was able to help out in a war , have the rank of captian , a top of that make friends , and even meet one of my favorite ponies . I maybe only human , but that doesn't change that I couldn't save two more races. At least our allies the Changelings and the Griffins are okay . Thinking back I'm sure glad I was drafted , I wonder what would happen if I wasn't , looking at the stars some more I think that maybe ponykind can make there mark among the stars . "Hey Adam , you alright?" asked Rainbow .

"Yea I'm just fine , one thing is for certain , we need to find a new home for all of us ,while the moon is a perfect start , we are going to have to spread out" I said . "Your quite correct , which is why I'm putting together a special fleet to spread out and begin to colonize planets here in this solar system and I want you to lead that fleet" said Luna .

"I'll do it , no way am I passing this up , but what about our ships , fighter jets and many tanks that are on Equiss?" I asked . "I suppose we could go down there and begin to move them to either the frozen north and seal them in a cave until such time when they are needed , when we are needed" .

"ya know , I'm glad you drafted me , not only to fight , but I had my own ideas , first I suppose during this war I well decided to make some friends while fighting" I said . "Ah , well that would make sense since you are one our best captains in the Navy" said Luna . I nodded in agreement with her . Hours later Rarity came up here to join us .

"The stars do look lovely do that not?" asked Rarity . "Yea they do , hey since we never talked nor introduced ourselves , I'm Adam" I said sticking out my hand . Confused Rarity followed suit sticking out her hoof , the both of us shook . "So your the one that helped Rainbow when she was feeling down" said Rarity with a knowing smile . "Well yea , you all were there so you know already" I said .

"Well I guess I was , and I'm glad for that , but why did Twilight betray us like that , she was our friend for all those times we defeated Nightmare moon , defeated Discord, and even King Sombra counting Tirek, how could she turn her back on us let alone , Spike" said Rarity confused and angry . "I suppose so , but anyway we should celebrate that we won this war" I said with a smile .

"Thank you , oh poor spike finding out that he's the last of his kind" . With that Rarity took off in a trot to go find the young dragon and give him support. "and when do we leave?" I asked . "what do you mean?" asked Luna confused . "To search for a new home for ponykind to settle down on , cause sooner or later the moon is going to get crowded and we need to spread out through the stars and make our home there" I pointed out.

"Right , well several of our astronomers have found a new planet already first off it has the same atmosphere as Equiss , along with a breathable oxygen and even vegetation and just waiting for us to colonize it , but it's in another galaxy" said Luna.

I thought this over and it looked like it can be pulled off , this got me thinking . "Alright , we should have some colony ships built with ponies loaded on them and go from there" I said .

"That's a good idea , in fact after this party I'll get right on that , we should also spread out the royal family as well , decides who's going to leave the moon and who is going to stay" added the lunar Princess . "Right , I'll spread the message" . With that said Luna went back inside the castle while I headed into the town square to tell everypony the news of what is about to happen.

"Alright here's what's going to happen" I said into a megaphone . "we are going to be leaving the moon , not all of us but some of us in a few years time give or take , the moon is going to get over crowded as it is already , which is why colony ships will be built , so pack up what you can take , but only what you need , in a few month's time the colony ships will be built and I will be leading the fleet , other than that fighter jets are going to be loaded from Equiss , our navy vessels along with our tanks among other things are also being loaded into specially made pelicans".

With that said , the ponies became a bit worried but thankfully Rainbow dash calmed them down enough for them to think rationally , and did as they were told . Hours later a list of who was going on this expedition to a new galaxy .

Royal family

1 : Prince Orkan

2 : Prince Shadow

3 : Quil Feather

4 : Lunar Desecnt

5 : Lunar Nightmare

6: Princess Nightmare Moon

7 : Princess Star Chaser

8: Princess Luna

9 : Prince Concord

10 : Lunar Shine

I looked over the list and nodded in approval . "Alright this is it , now about those colony ships?" I asked . "The construction is coming along quite well , and might I add that we will soon be leaving in a few months' time" said Luna with a smile . "Most excellent , but should we not find every single last thing of the solar Empire and build a museum to put on display?" I asked . "We should in fact , one o f our scouting fleet found a nearly completed Death star and even found research notes on the what is called the 'Super Laser'" .

"yea no kidding , and what of the last of the solar fleet?" I asked . "they also found whole solar stardestroyers which are being towed back here to be stripped away with internal weapons and the like and yes a solar museum is being worked on here in Moon City" said Luna with a smile .

"Perfect" I said with a nod . And with that said I knew what to do . And it was time for the next chapter in the history of the New Lunar Republic , a new home for Pony kind to settle down on , and also we keep in contact with the moon , and also at the sametime I couldn't be much happier with what was about to happen

"Lunar Log : date unknown , well down to some good news , the New Lunar Republic is whole , we won the war ! , and also we are venturing into the emptiness that is space.

And also looking for a new home for the ponies that we got off New Equiss , also some good news , I met her father Spectrum Streak sure the guy 'interogated' but he had good reasons he also met Rainbow Blitz , Scootaloo and Scootaroll and you could say that the entire family was or is reunited as one , all of which are in some form of the military .

Which is fine with me though but now I don't have to worry a whole lot as this will be the only Lunar Log that I do , I may do these more often but eh work with what you have , and yes when I get the chance I do plan to head back to earth to grab my stuff , never could do that during the war .

But anyway moving on past that , I do feel happy that this solar lunar war is over and the last of the solar empire guard are being annexed into the New Lunar Republic , further more I'd like to add that the NLR is splitting off to find another planet . Oh! , there is one thing I want to say before I have to go and grab some stuff , The Shadowbolts are planing to add more recruits to there ranks , should another war happen , well that's all I have to say at the moment .

This is Captain Seville of the Navy signing off" I said . After that I shut off the camera and got inside my transport which later opened a wormhole and went through .

Location : Earth ,California , Salinas

This was the house or mobile home I grew up in . Thankfully it was night and we parked in the street everyone was out somewhere so I went inside and headed towards my room . I started to pack up my Xbox , my TV/DVD player , computers , clothes , my black and Red Star Caster Electric Guitar , my Acoustic , and even my Ukulele.

Hours later I had everything loaded into the transport thankfully it was still cloaked . Once everything was strapped down we then headed to storage and I managed to get more of my stuff such as my train sets , my tower .

That was it , I locked up the storage space and got back inside the transport . We silently took off and shot through the atmosphere at rocket like speeds . Once we were in space we opened the wormhole and went through , no government of earth could spot us , not even the US government . I sighed a big breath of relief that we were heading back to the moon .

Location : The Moon , Moon City

The wormhole opened on the other end and we made it back . "I want all of this transferred to my ship Once More Unto the Breach" I ordered .

"yes sir" saluted the pilot . With that said , several guards took my place and I well rejoined the party that was going on .

Looking around I spotted Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Blitz talking . However I decided to just head inside the castle and just look up at the stars wondering where this new planet would be .

Hours later Applejack and her sister Applebloom came out and wanted to well do what else ? , than talk my ear off , which I didn't mind one bit .

"So how you splitting the family AJ?" I asked .

"Ah can't , however ah know AB want's to come with me , and now ah don't know what to do , we have stuck together like glue from the very beginning , and poor old Granny smith , it's like she don't want me leaving but at the same time ah have to start my new life with the rest of the New Lunar Republic" said Applejack sadly .

"Look don't worry , I'm sure you'll figure out some kind of way to stay in touch with your folks" I said with a small smile . The country mare hugged me , I hugged her back. She soon pulled away as did I . "Thank you , now ah have to pack for this trip , and maybe we can make some history out among the stars" said Applejack .

"that's right , I will be in charge of the entire fleet , well special fleet while we have a home fleet stay behind and handle any and all problems should they arise" I said . "Rahght" . Soon the country mare took off back through the castle all the way back to lunar apple acres .

A few hours later I saw Crystal empire ships stopping but that's when I also saw , the crystal Empire it's self , I was in shock .

However , I saw Emperor Crystal , Empress Phenacite , Prince Aqua , Prince Charming , Prince Christoph De Crystal , Princess Crystal , Princess Crystal Shores , Princess Crystal Rose , Princess Secret Scrolls , a pregnant Princess Cadence , and Moonlight Chrystyshine along with several crystal guards , and city guards as well .

I was surprised to see the entire Crystal royal family here and alive no less . But that's when I got to meet Princess Cadence for the first time . "It's an honor Princess" I said with a smile . "Oh ? , do I know you?" asked Cadence confused .

"Yea I'm Adam of the New Lunar Republic" I said . "Oh , now I remember , your the one that was fighting against the solar empire" said Cadence .

I decided to walk beside her and into the front enterance of the castle ,where two lunar guards were standing outside . Hours later Cadence had to sit down , she was on her ninth month and boy that's when things took a turn for weirdville .

First off her water broke , that's when I saw Fluttershy order some ponies to get her to the infirmary so she could give birth . Frankly for me I stood as far away as I could as her team of nurses were right alongside her the whole way there .

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash and everyponyelse was in surprise but decided to end the victory party with a speech , it was mostly Princess Luna giving a victory speech as to how that we are free from the tyranny of Solar Flare , ya know not once did she mention the name of Celestia .

I simply hung back and well I didn't know what to do after that . Hours after Cadence had given birth , she had named the first filly Skyla , and the other Twila.

I couldn't be more proud of you Cadence , though I do hope Twilight is okay I thought in worry . But who am I kidding , she betrayed all of her friends and wound up on the loosing side . But to me it wasn't like that , our situation reminded me of the American Revolution at least in a few way's . Hours later the rest of the crystal family emerged from the infirmary with smiles on there faces .

The changeling and griffin families , well you could say that this was or is a joyous moment for them . All I had to do was … smile . So after the Crystal family left to make there mark among the stars we all wished them the best of luck . There entire fleet jumped to warp after that , along with there entire empire in tow .

Well for me , you could say that Cadence has no husband to speak of , i'm sure she'll find someone to marry and help raise her kids with her I thought .

Yea if you thought that I was going to bang one of these ponies , think again sicko's !. Soon the party ended with all of the ponies heading home with smiles on there faces . Firefly , Spectrum Streak , Scootaroll ,and Rainbow Blitz headed for home over in Shimering Stars . Leaving me with Rainbow Dash , and Scootaloo to also head for home , cause we are going to all leave the moon together as a family . Me , my adopted mother , my adopted father , Rainbow Dash , Rainbow Blitz , Scootaloo , and Scootaroll .

Moon City Castle

Princess Luna headed to her chambers to get some rest , along with the rest of the family . Well I should pack , same with my other sisters and brothers thought Luna .

"Listen , we all should start packing for this long trip a head of us , we need to seek out a home for the rest of ponykind , make our mark among the stars" said Luna .

"Luna, I know trust me , I know , everypony knows that they are on the list of those to join the new lunar fleet" said Nightmare Moon reassuring .

"Yea , don't worry , bigger ships are being built to house our naval vessels , while huger cargo ships house our fighter jets" added Star Chaser .

One thing was for sure , it pained all of them to see Celestia die like that , but they had no other choice they had to end her . She couldn't be reasoned with , she wouldn't surrender , nor would she be open to a cease fire at all .

With that the lunar sisters told each other good day , and began to head into there rooms and begin to pack , cause in several month's time they would be leaving the moon behind , as other colony ships would be colonizing other planets .

Location : Canterlot (what's left of it)

Underground

Twilight Sparkle along with what was left of the Solar empire , awoke but she had an idea . She decided that she would attempt to make , a home for the solar empire till she could form her own empire , The Stellar Alignment .

I'll do what I can , to at least try and make something out of this underground area , well for starters we could be working on making an underground shelter and live out till the radiation dies down enough to walk on the surface again thought Twilight . Hours later she found Shining Armor who was injured from the crash .

She looked him over and saw several things stuck in his side , most of that being shrapnel . "I need a medic here!" shouted Twilight .

Seconds later a medic showed up and had enough supplies to operate on him . The solar sky guards and the solar guards were mostly in shock of how they lost , mostly over how the New Lunar Republic was able to win the war . A few guards questioned about Twilight being in charge

"Look I know Celestia is dead , killed by Luna , Nightmare Moon and Star Chaser , but we need to at least get back on our hooves and figure out a way to live underground before we start to move above ground" said Twilight getting there attention . "I know some of you are still in shock over what happened , but don't worry , I know what i'm doing , and as of now , the solar empire is considered dead , from now on we are known as The Stellar Alignment , a civilization that is going to learn the mistakes from the solar Empire and better ourselves from it , the only thing I can say is this , if we stick together , we are going to be alright , everything will be alright" .

One of the ponies spoke up in protest . "Everything is NOT fine , look around you Princess , everypony is either sick or dying of where we are at the moment , how is everything going to be alright? , if you ask me we need to get off this planet" he said .

"Look , I know things may look bleak , but we can pull back from this , trust me" said Twilight softly. That shut the stallion up after he heard her say that . You will pay Luna , ALL of you will pay dearly , I don't know how , but I will find a way to get my revenge ! Count on it ! Thought Twilight angrily .

Hours later the shrapnel was removed from her brother , but when the final nuclear missile , she saw her parents burst into flames before they could even make it to a shelter and ride out the blast from missile had made .

My parents , I couldn't save them in time and now there dead because of me , NO! Because of the New Lunar Republic , they won ! , I hate them ! , no matter at least a piece of solar flare is with in me , so now I won't have to worry about anything at all . Of one thing was for certain , somehow someway , she would get her revenge and even bring about a new age among ponykind .

Former location of the Crystal Empire

Just before the Crystal Empire lead by Emperor Crystal and Empress Phenacite left , they both made a copy of the Crystal heart so King Sombra and his family could rule .

The entire family took phyiscal form . King Sombra was the first one to examine there surroundings and was in shock . "So Celestia did this ? , I'm not that surprised at all" said Sombra to himself . He looked around and then spotted a news paper article that talked about Celestia and her nuclear weapons project. He picked it up in his magic and examined it .

"Hmm , this must have been no more than a few years old" said Sombra to himself . He had his corrupted shadow ponies rebuilt his own crystal empire or better known as the shadow empire .

But how did Celestia get nuclear weapons ? , i'm sure I could find some answers to this question , but for now I must build THE SOMBRATIC EMPIRE! Thought Sombra evilly .

And he had some plans for his empire to be build . And yet his ponies were able to survive somehow even when the radiation was still high from the nuclear blast .

This does surprise me a bit , how is it possible? , normally I would die from radiation exposure or something , who cares about such things. The evil king went back to where his castle was and rose it up out of the ground . His construction ponies went about creating things out of crystal for him such as his throne among everything else .

Moon City

Sunset Shimmer , Trixie , Trixster , Clashing Blade , Sun Rise Shake , and Bullet Striker all celebrated as well . Only they were laughing at funny jokes about sunbutt .

"well I'd have to say , we sure won this war , but thing is , we are also going to have to leave for a new planet" said Bullet Striker .

"yea that's true , but I'm coming with you guys for sure , I'm sure somepony else can take over here on Moon City" said Clashing Blade .

"You sure about that?" asked Apocalypse who walked into the room ."Apocalypse , what brings you here?" asked Clashing Blade .

"well , figured I'd drop by and hang out with you guys , besides we won the war and some of us maybe departing together to venture out into the galaxy" said Apocalypse .

"Oh well , I think that maybe we should all soon head home a pack" said Clashing blade .

"Oh ? , I wasn't really told this" said Sunset .

"That's because Captain Seville , made the anouncement via megaphone so you might have heard it" said Sun Rise Shake . "Well I heard it clear as day" said Trixie .

"We all did , dear sister , now then I think we should just hang out and maybe just chill" said Trixster .

Apocalypse thought it over and decided it that maybe it would be a good idea , so for the rest of the night he spent it talking , laughing at solar empire jokes or jokes about Sunbutt , or even just gazing out at the stars whenever he could .

One thing was for sure , that he Clashing blade , Archangel , and Princess Star Chaser are going to be leaving as friends to venture forth into the vastness that is space.

Equiss , Equestria

On the outskirts of the nation of Equestria Princess Amethyst and Prince Brave Wing heard about the death of Solar Flare .

"So you heard huh?" asked Brave wing .

"Oh I more than heard , I saw it on TV , the death of the solar empress and surprisingly the solar emperor , it was something that I wasn't made aware of until today" said Amethyst looking out the window .

"I'm guessing the radiation didn't affect us one bit" said Brave wing . "Well I wouldn't be so sure , after all if there is one thing I am sure of is that" said Amethyst .

The two looked onwards in hopes of making friends on this planet , all they saw was sand , sand and more sand for as far as the eye can see. Other than that they really needed to create a military just in case something DOES happen , like another war breaks out .

Prince Brave wing had planned such a military and decided to go for it , using technology from the video game Starcraft , mostly from the terrans .

"well we should start building these ships" said Brave wing .

"Oh ? , lets take a look" said Amethyst . She looked them over and decided that building a military was the smartest thing after all .

On the other side of the planet

Discord was barely able to escape the nuclear blast . "Celestia what were you thinking doing such a thing like that" said Discord as he looked into the sky .

The lord of chaos needed something to do , that's when an idea came to his mind . I guess I could create my own civilization since Celestia's out of the picture thought Discord .

In fact it wasn't a bad idea at all , win in a few hours he gathered up changelings , the minotaurs , the scattered dragons and zebras along with the ponies and changelings and formed The Legion of Discord .

Hours later he picked two ponies to rule over the empire. There names you may ask ? Dark Heart Raven and Dark hollow .

Two ponies who can really cause chaos and destruction through out the entire dust ball that was once a flourishing planet.

However Discord himself , was very well aware that Twilight Sparkle and what remained of the solar empire survived due to a shelter underground Canterlot Castle .

Smart thinking Celestia , however you failed to notice that it is you who went mad with power , I learn to stay in control and keep my subjects safe , unlike you who became a tyrant , a madmare with power , an evil mare SOLAR FLARE what a real shame , I've only known you for so long and yet you died on me , well I'm glad that Luna and her allies took the both of you out thought Discord .

He left detailed instructions and teleported himself to earth to begin his new life. Away from any kind of war among there own kind . And change any and EVERYTHING about himself .

With Snowflake

Snowflake was looking over his shadowbolt uniform . He couldn't believe that all through this war he was second in command of the shadowbolts .

SECOND in command of an elite fighting and flying force .

Hard to believe that so much has changed since the beginning of this war , and I couldn't be more happier that we all helped shape our own destiny our own fate , soon we will venture among the stars , able to reach out into the heavens themselves , we of the New Lunar Republic will make our mark in space , and on a new planet while I like the moon I wouldn't mind seeing blue skies again , and should another war happen , the shadowbolts will be there , the entire lunar military thought Snowflake .

He packed away his uniform and looked over at his sister who was doing the samething .

"You know Lily , we all helped shape who we are , and our place now" said Snowflake while packing his things .

His sister looked over at him with the same expression on her face . "Yea we did , all of us helped shape us shape who we all are , weather it's the army , the air force , the marines , or even the navy" replied Lily .

The two soon had there things packed , shadowbolts uniforms as well .

One thing was for sure that they as part of a whole helped shaped the entire history , soon Shadow blitz came in and started to pack his stuff .

"Well guys, it was interesting doing something like this , making friends , those friends fighting alongside you , but I guess none of us will never know why Celestia became a dictator , a tyrant if you will" said Shadow Blitz .

"Well most of us know the answer already , for some it takes longer" said Snowflake . "Yea I guess that's true , but think about it , since when did the wonderbolts ever wound us?" asked Shadow blitz while packing .

"Well , maybe it's because that we are better trained , and know how to fight , the wonderbotls ? I'm sorry but they couldn't stop a dragon , not even the royal guard couldn't hold off the changeling invasion during the royal wedding" said Snowflake .

"Wait ? , you read that?" asked Shadow blitz .

"yea , I was in manehatten that day , and as soon as it hit the news papers ponies went nuts over it , news ponies began to question Celestia , good thing Luna nor Star Chaser were around at the time to hear said questions" said Snowflake .

"Pardon my rudness , but what were you two doing in Manehatten?" asked Shadow blitz curiously .

"well , we were visiting some family , so that's when we heard about the changeling invasion" explained Snowflake . "He's right , that's all we were doing , just visiting family" added Lily .

"well I guess your telling the truth , but one thing just bugs me , how or why for that matter did the changelings nearly pull off an invasion like that?" asked Shadow Blitz . "That's one question even I can't answer" said Snowflake shrugging .

Later Snowflake , Lily and Shadowblitz saw Archangel , Apocalypse , Sunset Shimmer , Trixie , Trixster and Sunrise Shake all walking down the street to there apartments with smiles on there faces just having a good time .

"well guys I have to be going , already the first few transports are loading up for civilians" said Shadow blitz .

"Hold on a sec , there are special transports that will be for military personel and families" said Snowflake .

"Well I guess I could wait till the military transports are ready" said Shadow Blitz .

He soon joined his friends , hanging out as if they were still in the academy .

However , they are all part of a team , an elite fighting flying team the shadowbolts , and they were also part of the air force .

"You know , we did reign vengeance from the sky all through the war" said Shadow blitz .

"yea we did , though now we can all move on with the next chapter in our lives , finding a new planet" said Lily . Soon there captain was heading into her room to pack up , same with her mother . "I wonder what captain Dash is up to?" asked Shadow Blitz .

"who knows , probably talking with her mother , it was sure a surprise during our days training , the captain wasn't even aware of it , heck neither were we" said Snowflake a bit surprised . "Why were you surprised?" asked Shadow Blitz .

"Oh you weren't there , well before we geared up to attack Fillydelphia during training one day , Rainbow was doing what she would normally do and surprise it was Fire Fly , we all knew her but kept it to ourselves , and let our captain find out for herself . That was when she chewed us out badly but , we did it since she told us to" sid Lily .

"Oh yea , what did Apocalypse know as well?" asked Shadow blitz confused . "at the time no he didn't , which was why he just went on with his training not even noticing what was going on" said Snowflake .

"Alright shadowbolts , there is a transport for all air force personnel , it's time" said Dash .

With that said , the rest of the shadowbolts who worked alongside her , Apocalypse , Snowflake , Firefly , Lily , Fire Blaze , Whizzer , Wind Whistler and Sky Wishes , who didn't talk much just focused on her training .

To Rainbow Dash , she hoof picked these ponies cause to her they were the best of the best . Ponies who past there exams and graduated with flying colors .

These ponies are the best of the best , that's the reason I hoof picked them , not because they were the top of there class or anything , I picked them because one : if they know how to fly , two : if they can fight , and three : if they can follow orders from a superior officer thought Rainbow as she boarded the transport .

Hours later she saw Rainbow Blitz , Prince Shadow and Dark Tide board with The Black Knights , The Nightmare Paladins , Nightmare Squadron and Lunar Squadron the best that the air force has to offer .

Hours later the army boarded theirs , same with the marines and lastly the royal family .

Soon the pelicans would take the rest of the royal family to there ships , along with her family and human friend . Well this is it , goodbye Moon and hello new planet thought Rainbow Dash .

Just before she took her seat she saw several long and short sword fighters fly in a V shaped formation to provide extra security . By doing this the population on the moon would drop dramatically . And so a new chapter of history to be made for the New Lunar Republic will soon be written down

Back at Moon City

King Cosmos and Queen Chernalia remained behind along with Lunar Storms , Nightmare Dancer , Nightmare Beat , Prince Eclipse , Lunar Wishes , and Lunar Flower .

Midnight Rose on the other hoof to go because of security .

"You know my love , I am going to miss my son's and daughters" said Cosmos tears forming in his eyes .

"that is true , I'm going to miss them too but this is for a good reason , many of the ponies are boarding there transports to free up some space on the moon , this is a good thing cause now we can continue to rule over these ponies in a kind an just way , not like Celestia and her family did" said Chernalia with an angry look towards the dust ball of a planet that was Equiss .

"Don't think about them , what I can tell you is this , let us look towards the future of the New Lunar Republic and the future of our subjects" said King Cosmos with a soft look . "yes , for the future of our civilization and for the future of our subjects" said Chernalia .

Adam's POV

I sure am going to miss the moon , but it's time I move on , I soon pack whatever it is I have left into various boxes and bags , thankfully several guards are waiting outside . "were here to take you to your ship" said a night guard .

"Sorry , but who are you two?" I asked . "Oh , sorry I'm Magnus Ventus , captain of the guard , with me is my commander Fossil Hunter , and we are here to escort you to your pelican captain" said Magnus .

"Alright , but I will need several of your unicorn guards to help carry my stuff" I said . "Oh not a problem" said Magnus .

He called several of his unicorn guards to load up my stuff in the chariot , the three of us later boarded and off we went towards the castle , minutes later we landed at the pad where my stuff was secured nice and tight. I later boarded as I saw , Quick fix , Lyra , Bon Bon , my first officer Silver Stream , and my security officer Bullet Striker who were all fastened in .

The door soon closed and off we went towards the ship which was holding at the head of the fleet . I'll see you all later I thought as I looked back at Magnus Ventus and Fossil Hunter .

NLR Once More Unto The Breach

Location : The Hanger bay

Our pelican soon entered and touched down on the ground with the engines shutting off . My entire bridge crew got out and headed for the elevator .

I later followed as it was good to be back on the ship , several security personnel asked me where I wanted all of this , I told them my quarters , they got in and started to unload everything .

While I headed towards the elevator . It was a short ride but it was well worth it . Hours later we made it to the bridge , every pony took there stations .

"Alright system wide check , need to make sure this ship can still fight in any situation" I said . A few minutes later the system check was done , from propulsioin , to energy shields , to even weapons . "Perfect" .

"This is captain Seville to all ships in the fleet , we are now leaving the orbit of the moon , I know that you are all going to miss the moon , but it's time we all find another home for ponykind to settle on , it is time we make our mark among the stars , already our allies are doing just that , allies like The Crystal Empire , The Changeling Swarm , and The Griffin Empire . Equiss is no longer our home , the moon is , and it's high time we start to find a home for the rest of pony kind to settle on . The point is , each ship has a full contengent of security and military on board and the more larger ships hold or navel vessels , army tanks , warthogs , and our fighter jets , so hopefully we can find another home to settle on, this is Captain Seville signing off" I said .

After that I decided to take my seat . "Plot us a course out of the solar system , send that order to the entire fleet" I said . "yes sir , sending orders now" said Lyra . "Sir helm reports course laid in" said bon Bon .

"as Captain Picard of Star Trek : The Next Generation would say , 'Lets see what's out there' , Punch it" I ordered.

With that said , the entire fleet jumped to slipspace as the ponies of the New Lunar Republic saw them go . A few cried , others smiled at this expedition , this was something out of Stargate Atlantis , or SG1. This was only the beginning of our journey into the unknown of space . May the stars guide us I thought .

Location : Unknown

The fleet had traveled out of the solar system and was soon venturing into the unknown and also headed for there neighboring galaxy.

In hopes of finding a star system the could find a new home , and set up a communications for talking to there real home , this was a branch out from the moon . All that the captain of the once more unto the breach could do , was keep them safe. However though , they were only half way through there journey .
