Chapter 7 Alliance with the Griffin Empire and Discussion of Attacking Canterlot

A/n: well now we have the seventh chapter to My Little Pony : The New Lunar Republic , enjoy :)

Baltimare , Equestria

Everypony was already doing what they normally do , securing the town , building an army base and an air force base .

But something new was being built in Baltimare , a Naval base , now those ponies who wanted to enter the Navy can do so . Meanwhile a special ship was being built just for Princess Luna , the NLR eclipse.

A destroyer class armed with several thousand archer missiles , 10 50mm gun defense turrets and able to launch F 15, F 18, F 22, and F 14 fighter jets and 24 mil hind helicopters.

"Now my sister is going to be in charge for the day , I know I can trust her . You however , are going to be also in charge of the security here , making sure that everything is going smoothly upon my return as I am going to be making an alliance with the Griffin Empire" said Luna .

"No problem sister , everything shall be under control when you return" said Star Chaser proudly .

"Lets keep it that way dear sister, well I had best be off" said Luna . She turned and walked towards her newly built vessel got on board and it soon was underway .

After waiting I soon returned to my temporary home , and figured I'd wait for a while since hardly anything concerning me ever happens.

Hours later Rainbow Dash returned from training the newbie Shadowbolts as there names are Night Shade , Paradise , Purple Flash , and Star Catcher .

We talked about our days and she told me that not a single pony gave her lip about the training she was giving them .

I wasn't surprised as she does have a lot of authority over the others . As we talked I saw a small orange filly and her friends play outside enjoying themselves .

"Rainbow" I said getting her attention . "yea?" she asked .

"Isn't that Scootaloo?".

"yea that's my sister , I met her one night during a camping trip and I decided to adopt her as my own" said Rainbow Dash proudly .

"Well I'd have to say that it took a lot of guts to do what you did" I said .

Hours later Scoots came inside just plumped tired from all that 'crusading' that her friends to do earn there cutie marks . For the rest of the day or night doesn't matter , we had a good time just talking and hardly ever having to solve any problems , unless it DOES require our attention .

In Griffonia

a pair of griffins working at the docks saw a ship coming in . Thinking that it wasn't an enemy ship , they allowed it to dock a ramp was extended and lunar Princess emerged .

"Welcome , Princess Luna , our king is expecting you" said one of the griffins working at the dock. "Very well , I do want to see your king" said Luna .

Hours of walking later and she saw , griffins training ,both on the ground in a simulator , and with weapons . She soon came upon a castle and walked inside , where King Beck Slasher greeted her with a smile .

"Ah Princess Luna of the New Lunar Republic" said Beck Slasher with a smile . "I'm glad you made it , lets get you settled in" .

"That would be great as I was traveling on a ship instead of chariot" said Luna . A few minutes later and the lunar princess was all settled in .

The king gave her a tour of the castle he showed her the factory where they make there tanks and the place where they are tested .

Tanks ranging from there MBT70 main battle tank to , M55 Sheridan light tank to even there most powerful , the GDI Mammoth tank . "Is that?" asked Luna .

"yes it is the S-U 27 fighter jet along with our Harriar II , now we have a prototype in progress it's our Apocalypse tank , and will soon be built and ready to go , it will be sometime before we can get our own navy up and operational patrolling the seas" said Beck Slasher .

"I wish to discuss with you an alliance to stop my sister" said Luna getting down to business . "Very well , what happened" replied Beck Slasher .

"Sometime ago , my sister Celestia started to pass unfair laws and even pass an unfair tax on the farmers crops , a bout a week or so , She was going to give a speech , I was able to start a rebellion , which is why we are here talking about an alliance , we did take Trottingham , AFTER showing our strength , and just yesterday we took Baltimare" said Luna .

"Ah I see, well it makes sense to me , you wish to stop your sister , but can you really stop her ! Like kill her" said Beck Slasher seriously . "I can"replied Luna just as seriously .

"Good , I have just been informed that our tests for the Avcobra have been completed along with tests for our apocalypse tank . We are still working on tests for our Uh24 and our Beren Wren Gunship" added Beck Slasher .

"Anyway I also have news that we are working on our weapons as well ones like our P90 ,Walther P99 , P2K Wolfram , our MP5 , our M16 ,Vz58 assault rifle , also our energy staff and last but not least our Zat energy weapon" .

Luna was shocked and even surprised but kept her composure , she also saw works for another air to space fighter .

"Ah our pride and joy our Death glider like it's cousin the puddle jumper it can fly in the air or in space , now come I'd like you to meet my family" said Beck Slasher .

They soon found themselves in the throne room.

Where she easily spotted Gilda who had came to Ponyville once before only to cause trouble and ponies lives miserable ponies like Granny Smith , and Fluttershy but was shooed out by Rainbow Dash her only friend . "Gilda Griffin" said Luna . "Yea your highness?" asked Gilda .

"I heard what you did in Ponyville during you first visit". "Look I said I was sorry sheesh" said Gilda with a roll of her eyes .

"Don't you dare do that to the Princess of the New Lunar Republic young lady!" said Beck Slasher with a glare . That shut her up quickly . And a hours they signed the treaty and Luna was introduced to the family .

"This is Coldmoon , Kestrel , White Feather , Rodan , Tandy , Ice Flyer , Prince Avion , my daughter Gilda , Vesperion , Glider , Scissor salad , Cedric , and Claw Slasher" said Beck Slasher . "Tis very nice to meet you all , I am Princess Luna of the New Lunar Republic" said Luna .

"King beck slasher , do you have a wife currently?" . "No not at the moment as I don't know where she is" said Beck Slasher plainly . Nearly all the weapons were tested and soon built , over night .

All that the Griffins had to do was build there navy , which would take some time . Luna soon left to let them get some sleep . She boarded her ship and was soon underway back towards Baltiamre.

Where she would be able to get some rest from that long trip . Hours later she arrived in the harbor and the place was as normal as she left it .

Sighing she got off the ship and headed for a random motel and figured that sleeping in a real bed vs a cot would much more comfortable cause at least she would rest up and be ready for the next engagement , Manehatten! .

With Adam and Rainbow

Adam's POV

I was chilling with Rainbow cuddled up to me , I had to figure that over time she had taken a liking to me .

Though for the life of me I can't seem to figure out why … ah yea the betrayl of her friend Twilight . Looking around I saw Scootaloo , the orange filly really admires her even was adopted by Dash .

Something that I would like to do with Rainbow , but with the both of us having seperate duties with in the NLR , that would be next to impossible .

But then again , maybe it could work . Thinking back if someone told me that I would be fighting in a war , I would have told them to F off !.

Of course Rainbow would have to leave her life behind if we have to leave Equestria behind should it get too intense , like the place becoming a wasteland or something .

As for Rarity , she's been working eight hours and normally takes breaks when ever she can . I'm really glad that she joined Luna , same with Applejack and her family .

While she may have some kind of loyalty to Celestia , she saw what she had done , and frankly it makes sense to me .

Rainbow Dash joined because she knew Celestia was bad news all along .

In fact no one really disturbed me Rainbow or Scootaloo during the time that Princess Luna was gone . In fact all was quite , minus the testing of new naval vessels , beyond that hardly much required our attention .

However , with my video game knowledge I knew what ships were in front of us during that first battle in space .

Thankfully there was a knock at my door , I was able to get up in time to answer it only to find Dusk Shine there trying to look all composed .

"Excuse me , may I come in?" asked Dusk Shine . I allowed him entry and that's when the panic and ALL the commotion fell right into place thankfully Rainbow told scoots to head upstairs for the moment .

"Alright Dusk Shine, what is it" I said . "You won't believe what I heard from Elusive AND Rarity" said Dusk Shine in a panic . "Oh ? And what might that be?" I asked .

"CLESTIA IS BUILDING NUCELEAR WEAPONS!" shouted Dusk shine . I was in shock ! Celestia , Nuclear weapons !? She clearly is nuts ! . I looked towards Rainbow and she had the same shocked expression on her face .

"Warn Princess Star Chaser and her royal family!, it sounds like we need to kick this war up a notch" I said .

In a flash of light he was gone , I couldn't believe what I had just heard Celestia building Nuclear weapons , weapons that can destroy the landscape of Equestria as we , WE know it .

"Rainbow , this is going to sound really weird , but I think it's time that we call a lunar meeting , right away" I said Seriously . She nodded and flew out of my door and started to round up everypony of the military .

Hours later we met at town hall , looking around the room I saw the top officers of the lunar military even members of the royal family , ones like Prince Artemis , Nightmare Dancer , and Eclipse execpt a small alicorn filly by the name of Nyx wasn't here .

"Alright I had just heard from Dusk Shine , that Celestia is building Nuclear missiles and more than likely plans to end ALL life on Equestria !" announced Luna .

Everypony was in shock , some of the royal family was unnerved , others however were down right angry . Who can blame them .

"but we have a plan , which is why we are bringing up a new sub branch with in the both the army and the marines , I plan to bring in the black ops" . "Princess if I may" said Nightmare Dancer . "Do go ahead Nightmare" said Star Chaser .

"as you are no doubt aware , with that kind of power Celestia has , she could wipe out as my aunt Luna put 'All life on Equestria as we know it , it would become an uninhabitable wasteland , however I purpose a plan that we take Canterlot directly to end this threat before that can happen" said Nightmare Dancer .

"An excellent idea , as part of the Lunar Royal family we will ALL be there to see it through to the end , my sister Princess Luna has already made alliances with the Changelings and the Griffins our niece however Princess Cadence is somewhat allied with Princess Celestia but she will betray her niece and set out on her own" . Said Prince Eclipse.

"he's right , we should commit all of our forces for a push on Canterlot" added a new Pony named Midnight .

I looked around and spotted him , he looked different then that shining armor dude . Meanwhile while everypony was debating I kept my mouth shut and just simply let it go until they rested there eyes on me .

"Oh your looking at me for something to add to this?" I asked . "Well here it is , I say we make a direct assault on Canterlot , but we cannot as we need our allies to hurry up with there tech" .

"That does make some sense , however once they are ready , then so are we , it is then we make the march towards Canterlot , scratch any idea of taking Manehatten, Fillydelphia or Ponyville , everyother city will fall in place once the capital is captured" said Midnight Sky .

"He does present a good point, I have a question , should we check on our allies progress on there technology?" asked Black Knight . "I believe we can do just that , after all one of us can go to the badlands , while the other goes to Griffonia" said Luna .

"That does make sense , however , how are we going to stop Celestia from doing something like this?" asked Lunar Shadow.

"I have no answer to that , I guess after taking Canterlot or ALL of Equestria we execute her" I said . "What ? , does anyone have any better ideas than that ?" . All I got was silence , dead utter silence .

Sighing Princess Luna agreed to a public execution of her sister Celestia .

Once the meeting adjourned I got to talk with some members of the royal family , who were awesome ones like Prince Artemis , Nightmare Dancer , and Eclipse . And we all agreed that Celestia has to be taken down , one way or another .

The Very Next Morning

Baltimare , Equestria

Both Luna and Artemis went there own ways , Luna was heading towards the Badlands to check in on the Changelings development , while Artemis was going to Griffonia to check on the griffins . Hours later they were gone , Luna driving a warthog and Artemis on a ship .

As for the others everypony in the military contacted Trottingham and had there forces ready in case they had to march for Canterlot .

A few hours later both returned saying that it would take time for the final few things to get developed and ready in time , however both promised that they would be ready by the final battle .

Adam looked towards Rainbow who only nodded both knowing that this war is going to drag on and on until Celestia only dies .

Soon it was time , the other four ponies of the Lunar Royal family had to depart via pelican that was bound for Moon city , they had to head back there towns that were built before the Battle for Trottingham

Moon City

Prince Artemis and the rest of the royal family returned to Moon City .

Where they decided to colonize the rest of the moon with cities named Showering Stars , Lunar Eclipsed , New Canterlot , and New Ponyville . The other three members are working on a special project that will use the mono rail system to connect the three cities together .

"Listen , if this is to work , then our three cities will be connected" said Artemis . "I agree as it will for the population to interact with each other" added Prince Eclipse . Nightmare Dancer agreed .

"Very well then , here it is . Since the war is already going on , what we should do about this is just ready our forces to join Luna's and Star Chasers in space , on the ground, out in the ocean , or in the air . Really battle the Solar Empire" said Prince Artemis seriously . The others agreed however it will be time before there forces are ready .

Baltimare , Equestria

When the news spread quickly that Celestia was building nuclear weapons . Everypony was scared of what would happen next . How could I blame them , the fillies and colts wanted there parents , even Scootaloo and Nyx , she decided to stay here at Baltimare .

I looked towards the window and thought to myself at this point we will have to stop Celestia from turning Equestria into a total wasteland … if we can that is . I saw Rainbow Dash slip a wing around my arm giving me the best smile she could .

"Look I know Celestia's Evil and all , but after we capture those cities have to march to Canterlot , to convince her that this is wrong" said Rainbow urgently .

"yea I know , but I'm in doubt that she would listen I fear it might be worse than what we are lead to believe" I said .

Agreeing we put the two to bed . Thankfully me and Rainbow staid up and decided to watch TV , yea the ponies invented TV and now I hear that they might be inventing the news like they did with using news papers .

While I am very surprised for something like this , however though .

They will need it when they go live broadcasting the final battle and the aftermath . As always Rainbow fell asleep again , cuddling up next to me with a content smile on her face.

With Princess Luna

Luna finally awoke and figured she would head back to Moon City , to keep an eye on things , she wrote a quick note to her sister telling her she would be heading back towards Moon city to help with the defense network .

She soon placed it by her sisters side and called down a lunar pelican .

By the time it was here and gone Star Chaser awoke to find a note by her bedside . Opening it read the following

Dear Star Chaser ,

I am headed back to Moon City to over see the construction of the Lunar Defense Network .

Also we are construction a new building for the New Lunar Republic as we are going to be broadcasting news over something Adam told me is called a TV .

As it should help us with spreading the word about joining up with the New Lunar Republic , but onto more important business .

I am also going to over see construction of several new Vehicles , weapons , armor , and the progress of our Spartans as we are going to be using them in the coming battles

your sister , Luna

After putting the letter down Star Chaser got up out of bed and did her morning rituals . Finally she was ready for handling Baltimare as it would need a local mayor to help run it . Hours later a pony by the name of Candy Corn volunteered to run Baltimare .

Moon City

Luna was overlooking some of the designs for the new vehicles , and was very impressed seeing the entire arsenal line up .

This is perfect , just perfect ! Come Canterlot , we will easily take it over without any problems but knowing Celestia she's going to have the Canterlot Defense Force or the CDF defending Canterlot … however I plan to squash them with our entire arsenal of ground and fighter jets Thought Luna .

She soon came across several interesting blueprints for new fighter jets ones like .

The F a 23 tactical fighter , F 14 Tomcat , F 23 Black Widow , Fa 27 Sting Ray . As for tanks she had interesting blueprints as well .

Ones like , Vk2801 , JagdPzIV , Type S2E21 , Lunar Leopard 2a8 , TR 25 Caprelli ,Tigera and the S3E10 . For Helicopters she had blueprints like , the Mil24 hind .

And there was one more blueprint she had with her in fact it was several blueprints for new weapons , ones like the NLR Assault Rifle , the Xm24 lunar assault rifle , the NLR Sniper Rifle , Hk 417 dmr , and several shotgun blueprints .

She then took them to bubble berry who said he would have his men get right to work on those . He told Luna that he can have them done before the final battle . Soon Celestia you will know the true meaning of fear from the New Lunar Republic ! Thought Luna as she walked back to her chambers to get some much needed rest .

Baltimare , Equestria .

Everypony was worried sick about these Nuclear weapons that Celstia is building .

But they have no idea as to when she's going to use them .

Meanwhile Dusk Shine was working on a special kind of spell to create a pony from nothing . It's tricky , but Dusk Shine , being the smart unicorn that he is can figure it out.

Back with Nyx she was introduced to Sweetie Belle and Appelbloom , and Scootaloo along with there brothers Applebuck , Sweepie Belle , and Scootaroll.

Who all hung out the rest of the day , wondering when they grow up will they be able to help out in the war ? .

"Hey guys?" asked Nyx . "if and when we do grow up , you think we can sign up for the NLR Military?" .

Sweetie Belle thought it over for a moment and shook her head .

"No I really want to be like my sister Rarity , and have a career of my own like Singing" said Sweetie Belle . "If mah sis is leading the troops , then ah'll help her , any way possible" said Applebloom firmly.

"yea same with me , I'll help Rainbow Dash any way that I can not because I obsess over her , because she's my sister and I love her" said Scootaloo .

"yea with her , both me and my sister plan to help our older sister one way or another" added Scootaroll .

"Well I think I plan to have my career in music" said Sweepy Belle .

"Ah also plan to help mah family as well" added Applebuck.

Everypony nodded at what they were going to do when they were all grown up . As for Nyx she plans to help out more in the Lunar Royal Family .

Adam was still fast asleep with Rainbow , who just enjoys him as he was there for her when she was vulnerable from the beginning , though her friends tried to help her , they didn't know what to do at first .

He came along and helped her when she needed it , she was his shoulder to cry on , he listened while she talked heck even vented .

And over time they both became closer and closer as friends and co workers in the military . But she also had her team to help her , her own team that she trained and worked with , even one on one .

Even Spike has support as well , ponies like Dusk Shine , Elusive , Rarity , Bubble Berry , Pinkie Pie , Butterscotch , Fluttershy , Barbra , Applebloom , Sweeteie Belle his own fillyfriend , Scootaloo , Applebuck , Sweepy Belle , and Scootaroll .

The mane 5 came out stronger from the pain that they were dealt at the start of the war . Even her human friend just listened and not uttered a single word .

Meanwhile Star Chaser was also drawing up a new design plan for the NLR , said plan was a design for the Howitzer cannon . Once she got the chance she boarded a pelican back to moon city to deliver the blueprint to none other than Bubble berry .

Canterlot , Equestria

Celestia was soon grinning like a madmare , as she saw her first nuclear warhead completed , it had yet to be tested .

I think i'll save this warhead in case Canterlot IS taken Thought Celestia , like a tyrant , she became what is known to ponies as a madmare .

But for her she is able to keep her cool and not go nuts with power .

Meanwhile she was looking over a few things however hardly much interested her , it was either stupid or it just won't work .

Moon City

Bullet Striker and Bolt Tightener were once again laughing like colts when they heard what happened at Baltimare .

"Dude , Celestia building nuclear weapons ? , that's something new" said Bullet Striker . "yea I know , besides did you see the royal family , they seem nice to talk to"said Bolt Tightener .

"yea that Prince Eclipse , I can get along with him , without him being uptight like that Prince BlueBlood always is" said Bullet Striker .

"yea , hey did Clashing Blade ever meet him at the Gala?" asked Bolt Tightener curious . "No I don't think so , but he did ask about it when he was working with Rarity one day" said Bullet Striker .

"Oh ? What was he doing at Carrousel Boutique ?" asked Bolt Tightener .

"Well if I remember , he was modeling for one of her dresses , since she couldn't get Rainbow Dash to do it" said Bullet Striker with a snicker .

That got the both of them laughing at that . Just then Clashing Blade decided to join them along with his friends Apocalypse and Archangel . "Well what's so funny?" asked Clashing Blade . The two stallions stopped laughing and told Clashing blade who blushed .

"hey it was only one day , and Rainbow Dash wouldn't even do it , besides she couldn't stand still as she always needs to keep moving" said Clashing Blade .

Of course the five of them started to talk up a storm , and all through the day they talked about what things were like before all of this .

"you know since we have the Royal family with us and what not , I think we have a chance" said Bullet Striker . "Yea even Apocalypse is soon to be working with Rainbow Dash in the Shadowbolts" said Archangel .

"W-well I haven't had time to get into the academy as of yet , I think there most likely backed up in forms upon forms sent in by various ponies" stammered Apocalypse.

Everypony simply chuckled at that and just had a good ol time talking up a storm for as long as they could . "Hey what every happened to Princess BlueBelle?" asked Clashing Blade .

"Well no one really knows , I think I saw her , and what she saw horrified her so much that when she bolted some guards tried to shoot her but couldn't get a clean enough shot"stated Bolt Tightener .

Most of what he said did make sense however , Bluebelle fo the Royal family being shot at ? Now that's something of a Tyrant of a dictator .

Equiss , Equestria

Bluebelle didn't know how long she was running all she knew was that her own aunt had the guards open fire .

Why Celestia ?! , Why would you do that to me , I thought I was family to you?!. Thought Bluebelle angrily .

Though she was wounded thankfully a few doctors patched her up , when she reached places like Fillydelphia , or Dodge Junction , heck even Manehatten . She looked at all the propganda and was confused .

Luna and her sister a traitor ? That's unheard of ? But why … unless she betrayed her sister so she could restore harmony and balance to ALL Equestria .

Over the course of her travels she was taught how to fight by various teachers . Something she never had the chance to do in Canterlot , and one day she plans to take down Celestia , by any means necessary !.

She was on her way towards another city according to the map , Appleloosa . Where she would rest and maybe stay there for the moment .

Hopefully I can at least start to figure things out for a bit .

When she got the chance she would purchase a weapon for self protection and several clips worth of ammo .

Her weapon of choice was the NLR acr assault rifle , she also chose a side arm as well her side arm of choice was the walther p99 pistol , which she got from someone within the griffin Empire .

Celestia you ! Are going to pay with your life . Thought Bluebell .

Hours later she saw no solar guards , so quickly she entered the town , bought a room and set all her stuff down and decided she would unpack later after a nap .

Baltimare

all of the military ponies including Adam , Rainbow , the CMC , Nyx and , a few local guards for a the local NLR police who are going to be keeping the peace .

So frankly both Trottingham and Baltiamre are now under the direct control of the NLR and under the protection as well .

Other than that , everything was peacefull , heck even Star Chaser decided to leave , she had to get back to her sister and meet up with the rest of the royal family .

The pelican started to life off from the pad , and with it's door closed and landing gear up , it took off into the sky with all engines at full .

Not a word was spoken during the trip , as they needed to get back to there lives on the moon . And Dash should resume training for the rookies and even train the more experienced Shadowbolts .

So it was going to be a long day with everypony working hard , both in the army ,in the marines , in the Navy , in the Air Force , and even in Lunar Space Division .

Everyone had there work cut out for them and with hardly much in the way of breaks they'll have to find time to hang out with eachother .
