Chapter 9 Enter the Changeling Swarm

The Badlands , Equestria

Queen Chrysalis and her husband and king , King Metamorphosis was doing what they normally do . Stock pile barrels upon barrels of love , in cause the worst is to happen . "My love , how are things going in research and development?" asked Chrysalis .

"the same , but we are making progress , we have all of our fighter jets completed , we are now working on the tanks and personal weapons" said Metamorphosis.

"I see then , however I did find out that our ally the New Lunar Republic , has taken Manehatten in a brutal fight" said Chrysalis . Smirking Metamorphosis , knew that this was perfect that there allies were working together .

And to top that they are taking the fight towards Celestia and the Solar Empire .

"My love , we will need to begin construction on our fighters and find a suitable planet to build our ships" said Metamorphosis .

"In time we will , for right now , we are going to be staying here and do what we can" said Chrysalis sternly .

Sighing the changeling king knew she was right in most cases he would argue with her but on this subject it was pointless . "Very well , Chrysalis I'm sure we can adapt here for a while , before those Nuclear weapons hit us" said Metamorphosis worriedly .

"while that may happen yes , however most of the other queens of other hives are working on ways to escape , as we will be the only hive left here on Equiss" said Chrysalis sadly . "I know , I know , but this is one of the choices that you have made for all of us" said Metamorphosis .

"Yes , however I am going to be over seeing the final battle with our allies to see the fall of Celestia , but knowing her , she is more than likely to release the nuclear weapons , wiping out all life on Equiss as we know it , that means no more Ever free forest , no more ponyville , no more nothing , just a barren waste land" stated Chrysalis .

The changeling king nodded and figured that it was time someling got started on building a few fighters , like there own SU 27 among other fighrters .

While it would take a while for them to be completed , he didn't mind at all , they had the entire war to get there military up and running , there ground forces would take awhile longer considering there tanks , along with weapons .

While the changelings don't need external body armor , there entire body is there armor . "My queen" said a changeling captain .

"yes go ahead" said Chrysalis . "our ground tanks are completed , and we are now beginning work on our weapons , our weapons will rival those of the New Lunar Republic and best those of the Solar Empire" he said .

"Most impressive , keep up the good work , soon we will be joining the war a lot sooner than we think" said Chrysalis with a joyful smile .

"Yes my Love , indeed we will be , I'll have our drones and higher ranked officers organized into four branches of the military Army , Marines , Navy and Air force" said Metamorphosis .

"My love we are in the badlands , there is NO need for a Navy there" said Chrysalis with a deadpanned look .

"Oh sorry but we will need a city that hasn't been captured as of yet" said Metamorphosis . And with that he walked off to check on the status of the smaller arms among other things .

Sighing the changeling queen decided to go over a few things like updates among status reports and updates on the research as well just to keep her busy .

Location : The Lunar Moon , Moon City

Princess Luna was looking over the roster for candidates for the NLRMC , and yet she found only one candidate a stallion known as Moonseeker , while he had an interesting background no one was assigned for the NLRMC .

This time she found a few others but knew she would need more ponies to help out .

Hmm , I will need to form the marines , as we are going to be fighting a war on two fronts, at first this war was going to be me and Celestia one on one , but I was wrong , according to our intel , Celestia has allies , while I'm not surpsied but I should be very cautious about fighting a war on two fronts , as I fear that they may figure out where we are attacking from thought Luna .

Then she got an idea , she looked through the roster of candidates and selected moonseeker along with moonshadow to help form the marines .

Hours later the two ponies showed up , Moonseeker was your average unicorn , as for Moonshadow , sure she looked like Twilight Sparkle but however her coat was a darker purple as she had a cutie mark with a crescent moon and two stars .

"You called Princess?" asked Moonshadow curiously .

"I did indeed , it seems as if Celestia has allies , her ally among many is known as Emperor Great Sun , it is known that he infused a thousand suns to give him alicorn status , he drove myself and Celestia out of his territory , he is one you don't mess with ! Trust me on this , however I plan to hit him hard before he can have a chance to strike back" explained Luna .

Soon Star Chaser came into view and was filled in on what's about to happen .

"Moonshadow , Moonseeker I want the both of you to form the Marine Corp , as we are going to be taking this war to Celestia's ally Emperor Great Sun , which is why we have allies of our own the Changeling Swarm , and the Griffin Empire , I did hear that the dragons are looking some action , however me and my sister are going to handle an alliance" explained Star Chaser .

"Don't worry Princesses , we won't let you down" said Moonshadow .

"Very well as of now , you Moonshadow are appointed the rank of Master Sargent of the NLRMC" announced Luna proudly .

With a salute , she knew what she had to do now , recruit ponies for the marines , and send a message to Spike to open up a special place known as Boot Camp.

Dear Spike of the NLR academy ,

This is Sargent Major Moonshadow of the NLR Marine Corp .

I have a request , I would like you to open up a special building for training marines , as we are going to forming the Marine Corp .

As of now I am going to be leading this branch of the NLR military . So I need you to find somepony to train them , train them for war ! . other than that yea I hope you consider my request

sincerely Sargent Major Moonshadowof the NLRMC .

Moonshadow soon sent off the letter while Moonseeker was appointed the rank of Commandant , or in this case Moonshadow's second in command .

"I wasn't aware there was a platoon of soldiers" said Moon Shadow walking out .

"Well there is so we have our first platoon , but we are going to need a lot more than that" said Moon Seeker .

"That is true , however we plan to promote him to general , as is going to be our first general in the marines" said Moon Shadow proudly .

"That's right , but we will need more generals along with other ponies to fill in the other ranks" stated Moon seeker .

"Don't worry I plan to have that covered over time" said Moon shadow . "Oh ? How so ?" asked Moon seeker curiously .

"I plan to leave that up to 8 bit twist" said Moon Shadow . "Really ? You plan to leave the rallying up to her ?" asked Moon seeker .

"yea , do you have a problem with that ?" . Moon seeker decided to back off at that point . "I don't have a problem with that , lets just see what ponies we get" said Moon Seeker .

"Good , glad we don't have a problem though it's obvious , that most ponies will want to join , others are going to train at the academy" said Moon Shadow .

Dear Sargent Major Moon Shadow ,

This is Spike of the NLR academy ,I looked over your request , and I think I can do it , but as for the drill Sargent that's going to take awhile .

Though I can tell you that this request that you asked of me , like I said I can do it , a special building for the recruits will be built for them to train eat and sleep , they will train both indoors and out doors , it will come with cots for them to sleep in , and various places to train in .

Though as for the drill sargent pony I'll get right on that , however there is one point that I want to bring up ,who are going to be your generals ? That is the only question that I have at the moment .

Signed Spike .

Moon Shadow read the letter over a bit , and decided that four ponies would be the starting point for the marine generals .

"Moon Seeker" said Moon Shadow . Moon Seeker had no idea what was coming at him . "I want you to start finding and recruiting ponies for the rank of general" .

"Not a problem I think I have the first four in mind" said Moon Seeker .

And off he galloped heading in the direction of the center of town in finding Trixie and her brother Trixster .

He knocked on the door to there wagon , upon opening it , revealed a groggy Trixie while her brother was asleep . "Yes?" asked Trixie very groggy .

"How would you like to have the postion of general , your brother included , you'll both still have time to entertain the ponies" offered Moon Seeker .

Thinking it over , Trixie said yes and told her brother that they now have a chance to get back at the Solar Empire. Smiling her brother hugged the stuffing out of her .

He soon headed off towards the hospital where he found Sunset Shimmer and Sunrise Shake , and offered them the same position of general.

Moon Seeker knew everything was going to come together , with four generals all he needed to do was find more ponies for the positon of not only general now but other ranks as well . Hours later he spotted another pony by name of Sparkle works .

"Excuse me what is your name?" asked Moon Seeker . "My name is Sparkle works , and I normally just help sell , hoses among other things.

"Well how would you like the position of Master Sargent in the Marine Corp?" asked Moon Seeker . With an offer like that how could any one single pony refuse to fight for the New Lunar Republic .

"Well I have been wanting to fight for a long time but I'm just a sales pony , I don't know the first thing about fighting" said Sparkle Works .

"don't worry , before you can get the rank of Master Sargent , myself and my superior Master Sargent Moon Shadow of the NLRMC are going to send you along with other ponies to the NLR academy to be trained , some go on the front lines to fight others , will handle among handling communication , Desk job's , however some will take personal command on the battlefield it is optional that you Sparkle works can join your platoon or battalion on the battlefield" said Moon Seeker .

"Then count me in" said Sparkle Works .

"Excellent , you among others will be notified when your getting shipped to the NLR academy ran by Spike" he soon asked other ponies but had to explain what it all entailed , among what other positions that will be filled in.

His job was soon done for the day as he walked off back towards his place . Little did he know that , more ponies and three certain humans would be coming .

Moon City Castle

Star Chaser and Luna were looking out towards the stars when she had an idea .

"Sister do you remember the rainbow bridge from 5,000 years ago?" asked Luna . "I've read it in a book before , Sister you don't mean- .

"Oh I do , I plan to reopen it , as we need help while we have enough ponies , we are going to need 3 humans to lend a hoof in this case , but we have to direct it towards the moon" stated Luna .

"I thought it was an old ponies tale" said Star Chaser shocked .

"Oh no , it's not it exists 5,000 years ago there existed a different continent called Ponyland , with in ponyland it had different kinds of ponies kind of like today , however it also had 3 humans there as well from the human world , there names are Megan Williams who wielded the Rainbow of Light , Danny Williams and Molly Williams , sadly they were soon sent back to the human world and the rainbow bridge was closed off , for every year in there world it was only 1,000 years for the ponies there . So five years had past for them but in ponyland it was 5,000 years , so much has changed since then . Which is why I plan to reopen it and bring them towards the moon IF I can" explained Luna .

Star Chaser was in shock , three humans … this was unbeleivable sure she's read about it in books but never has she heard about this Megan Williams her using the Rainbow of light to defeat Tirek , and again to defeat Grogar .

Over time the ponies and the three humans had become attached to one another , but they were in for a surprise , a HUGE surprise at that . Luna soon called a pelican and was off towards the old location that she found on an old map of Equestria .

Location of the Rainbow bridge

The pelican soon landed near the location of the Rainbow of bridge's exit would be . It was an old well of sorts .

"This would be perfect" said Luna .

She charged up an old spell from 5,000 years ago and fired it at the well , soon in a bright flash of light the Rainbow Bridge was open once again in 5,000 years . "If I am not back , radio in for backup just in case" said Luna .

"Understood princess ,I think this would be a perfect time to do so" . He called in for lunar guards to land at his location .

Luna flew into the air and did a swan dive into the well while the lunar guards secured the area , and waited for there lunar princess to return.

The Human world

Year : 2015

Three humans were working at there parents house , things have been quite rough on them , however the eldest Megan , was able to keep the other two in line , Danny and Molly .

While they did miss there time with the ponies of ponyland , they had there own lives to live , but today of all days , things were about to change for the better for them . Megan is 18 and is 5'7 and her weight is 126lbs , Danny is younger then his older sister megan as he's 16 he's 5'10 and his weight is 145lbs , the youngest is Molly since she's only 13 .

"I really miss being with Surprise" sighed Danny while cleaning the floors with a mop . Dannie's older sister Megan put a hand on her little brothers shoulder in comfort .

"It's going to be alright , I'm sure something is going to change for the better" said Megan . Molly however wasn't having much of an easier time either .

Molly really did miss Shady as Danny does miss Surprise , as for Megan , she did miss being around the ponies , however she had her own siblings to look after .

Suddenly there was a knock at the door , sighing Megan told her siblings to take a break her as well , she walked over towards the door and opened it .

What shocked her the most that she saw a pony , five years and a pony is here in the human world , however this one had wings and a horn to match .

"Greetings Megan Williams I am Princess Luna , ruler of the New Lunar Republic , may I be granted entry int your house?" asked Luna .

"Uh sure come in , we were just cleaning up , in case there was company , our parents are working in the city at the moment" said Megan .

Meanwhile Danny and Molly were getting cleaned up , cause they have NO idea of what awaited them downstairs .

"Well you can call me Megan , but yea that's me , why are you here Princess Luna?" asked Megan curiously .

"Please no formalities , just call me Luna , listen , there is a war going on and we need the three of you to lend a hand" said Luna .

Megan wasn't sure of what to do , however Molly and Danny came down , and like children , they begged there older sister to at least consider it. "Alright lets go , this had better not be a trick" warned Megan . "Tis not" said Luna .

They all jumped back down the same well and were heading towards the old location of Ponyland , which is now Equestria .

Location : Equestria , old location of the Rainbow Bridge

Luna , Megan , Danny and Molly all exited out of the Rainbow Bridges exit , and were surprised to see troops , and some kind of drop ship . "Quickly get aboard" said Luna .

Not wasting any time Megan and her siblings were aboard the pelican , the lunar princess ordered all troops get aboard there pelicans.

The doors to all three of them closed up , the ships rose up and took off into the skies .

After hours of shaking , the rest of the ride was smooth , that was when the three dropships landed on the moon.

The doors opened and what shocked the three of them was that they were no longer on the planet that they have known for so long,

"Uh Luna?" asked Molly .

"yes Molly what is it" said Luna gently . "Where are we?" . "Well to put it easy , we are on the moon , away from my sisters spies . Now this had Megan's attention , as she wanted to know more about what is currently going on .

"Alright Princess , what is the world is going on here?" asked Megan sternly .

"Very well , me and your older sister have a few things to talk over , one of my troops will take you to your newly built home" said Luna. Danny and Molly were headed off towards there new home in Moon City , to get settled in .

With Luna and Megan

"Okay Luna , start talking , I want to find out EVERYTHING like what is going on , why there is a war , and who is Celestia" said Mean seriously .

"Very well , we are at war with my sister Celestia , who is a tyrant of her own Empire , The Solar Empire , a few days or weeks ago , she was giving a speech , I interrupted her and started a revolution , which is what this war is about , also Celestia and I were once Co- Rulers of a nation known as Equestria , which is what you and your two siblings were in mere moments ago , before this revolution , Celestia was passing unfair laws and tax's as well that were aimed at farmers , ones like my friends Applejack , Rarity , and Pinkie Pie . So all of them went to Canterlot that day which were the revolution began , also that was where the betrayal of the elements of harmony also happened which is why Twilight Sparkle , the element of magic betrayed her friends and disowned her dragon assistant Spike" said Luna sadly.

Now Megan understood what was going on , a war , her own sister a tyrant , and entire military , and various ponies walking around on the moon.

"So that's why you brought myself and my siblings here, you want us to help you win this war" said Megan . "yes , that is correct , will you help us?" asked Luna .

"Yea I'll help you , though I doubt that my siblings will , more or less they can't really fight , there more of staying out of fights now a days" stated Megan .

Knowing what had to be done , Megan walked out of the castle and back into the main city , and it was breath taking , using the moon as not only a place of refuge but a new home as well , for ponies to not feel like there being spied on .

Well Luna , you've got my help , now I just need to figure out where I would fit in this military Thought Megan .

The Badlands , Equestria

Chrysalis was with a couple of her generals , as they were going over plans to take a few cities , however she was also with a few other queens from other hives ones like Queen Vespa , Queen Penumbra , Queen Vencaia , Queen Universia , and Queen Sarracenia .

"So we are all in agreement , once our research is done, we join in with every single changeling and help take down the tyrant Celestia" said Chrysalis .

"while I do agree on taking down the tyrant , why must we help the New Lunar Republic ?" asked Universia .

"Yes , quite recently the new lunar republic offered an alliance , in exchange for our help to take down Celestia , nothing more nothing less" stated Chryslais .

"Alright most if not all my research with my hive is nearly done' said Vencaia. "Excellent in the next month we will reconvene and see where we all stand" said Chrysalis .

The other queens soon left to return to there hives and continue with research and development . "my love , I take it all is well?" asked Metamorphosis .

"Indeed it is , which is why we are going to be making sure that all research and development is on time" said Chrysalis proudly .

"Excellent , most of the tanks are completed , all we doing now is waiting on the weapons same with the air force , and we should be completed and ready to go before Canterlot" said Metamorphosis.

"This is good news indeed , however we should wait for the other hives until we are fully ready to take the fight to Celestia" said Chrysalis .

"Very well , I can wait , cause I wanted to deliver her a couple of blows from you for the Royal Canterlot Fiasco" said Metamorphosis .

"that is long and over with , as of now we are going to be fighting for our very survivial ,NOT about a simple invasion that happened a long time ago , I am over that and have learned to plan more carefully , and make sure that EVERYTHING goes according to plan" said Chrysalis .

"Very well , I do have some news about our weapons though , they are nearing completion , according to research and development they are making the prototypes and will be testing them soon before moving onto mass scale production" reported Metamorphosis .

"That is really good news , but to be clear on a few things , I will NOT repeat what happened with the Royal Canterlot Wedding that happned , oh no not this time , this time I have everything planned and this time I will crush Celestia with our Air force , our army and our Changeling Fleet , the Solar Empire won't know what hit them when they see us coming" said Chrysalis soon with a smile on her face . The two laughed a good laugh , knowing that this was going to be absolutely perfect .

Changeling Fighter factory

The two were working on several vipers , mostly the MKI and the MKII however the ships would have to be built in space .

"Ah my Queen , and King , I didn't expect the two of you here" he said surprised . "I take it most of the fighters are complete?" asked Chrysalis getting to the point .

"Indeed they are , however for the ships , they have to be built in space , but we have no way of getting up into space and building any kind of stations" .

"that does make sense , which is why however I want you to work on a transport that can transport , building materials and even a special suit for the worker changleings to wear while in space building the very first shipyard , we need our fleet before the final battle at Canterlot" said Chrysalis . "Also what's the status on those weapons?" asked Metamorphosis .

"we have just finished the testing and are now moving to mass production , soon they will be distributed through out the entire hive , mostly to the drones" .

The two thought it over and it did make sense . "Very well , continue your work , I expect an update with in the hour" stated Chrysalis .

The two soon walked out of the main factory and decided to making sure that production was on time , and not one single delay .

"I did hear recently that the Griffin Empire was able to lend a claw in the battle for Manehatten" said Metamorphosis .

"That is excellent ! , soon we will be joining them soon , however I must check on the other hives and other queens to see how they are doing" said Chrysalis .

And with that she took off on a changeling chariot towards the other hives , leaving the changeling King to handle things at the main hive. At least I can relax but I wonder how my children are doing thought the Changeling King .

He soon headed off towards where he saw Princess Cocoon practicing her magic , he soon saw Prince Cheytre working on his fire arms practice courtesy of his wife Chrysalis .

His other Son Prince Necromorph was working on his shapeshifting ability , Princess Larva and Princess Ivory storm were having several duals of strength and magic .

And the youngest Princess Pupa , was well watching her older siblings train while she could not , her brother Red tribe decided to let her watch .

"You see one day , you will be like them , training to one day fight , your just not quite ready yet" said Red Tribe.

"I don't understand brother , how come they were born to have abilities when I didn't" said Pupa . "Well that's really hard to explain , ah perhaps father can better explain it" said Red Tribe .

King Metamorphosis heard Red Tribe and decided to see what was the matter with his youngest of the family Pupa .

"Well you see while you were born a changeling , the abilities that you see your brothers and sisters have , they too had to practice like shape shifting and feeding on love , these things take time" explained Metamorphosis . Pupa seemed to understand , however she also wanted to take part in the war.

"Daddy , I want to help in the war , I want to stop the tyrant Celestia , she is a threat to the entire changeling hive and may wipe us out" said Pupa .

"I know you wanna help , but your just not old enough , and soon we will get our revenge for what happened before the Royal Canterlot Wedding" .

While the youngest Princess was confused with not being able to help out , it was princess Aurelia that helped explain things a bit better .

"I know you wanna do your part like the other hives like many of our kind are doing , but your just not old enough and we don't want to expose you this kind of thing, besides we want you to experience your younger years before your ready for a war like this , while others train you can learn how to shape shift and be ready to become a princess while you may have that title , you have to earn that title to truly understand what it means to become a princess in the changeling swarm" explained Aurelia . At that point Pupa understood now , and Aurelia got back to her training .

With Aurelia

I'm worried that once me my brothers and sisters go into this war , I fear that we may not come out the same way we came in thought Aurelia worriedly .

It was understandable , the drones don't understand any of these emotions all they do is follow orders and that's it , they don't understand what other changelings have to do during war .

All they do is take orders form who ever is in charge , who ever is either connected to the hive or has a higher rank to command an army .

And pupa I'm worried about her , I fear that once she grows up she'll want to get into this war , but i'm worried that she may not be the same sister that we all know and love … love it is strange yes ,but yet it feels natural , I have to protect her …. no matter what happens to me .

Aurelia continued to train , until she was beginning to huff and puff a lot more than normal , her brother Red tribe saw this and told her to take a break. Nodding she sat with her other brothers and sisters .

"You know , Aurelia , you train a lot more than any of us does" said Cheytre . "I agree , one day you will be strong enough , help advise mother on important decisions" added Cocoon .

With Queen Chrysalis

She soon arrived at one of the hives that was ruled by Queen Vencaia. And decided that a quick visit to her hive would be a perfect idea .

"Oh hello Chrysalis , I didn't expect you to show up" said Vencaia . "I decided that getting out would be perfect , to everyling with in the entire hive" said Chrysalis .

"That does seem to make sense , anyway , with Manehatten captured for the New Lunar Republic , I say that we also start to take some cities as well , and begin our own strike against Celestia" said Vencaia .

"Very well , by the next meeting we could all make it happen , we just have to pull our forces together" stated Chrysalis .

"Which is easy to do , and besides , while we don't have any ships that have been built in space as of yet , we can manage with our own viper fighters" said Venacia .

The changeling queen nodded in agreement at that , besides they haven't been tested as of yet and would be perfect for an attack.

"Very well , our ground forces are ready to go , what about yours?" asked Chrysalis . "Mine are about ready , same with our weapons and fighter jets , they won't know what hit them" said Venacia .

Soon Chrysalis had to depart to get back to her hive where she had to attend to her family. Where hopefully she can fully train her youngest Pupa to be ready .

Manehatten , Equestria

Princess Luna and the entire royal family along with the whole military simply partied just enjoying themselves .

But however , the first lunar allied meeting would be coming up soon . And allies of the NLR would be meeting for the first time since they had first been met .

Where should we hold this meeting while obviously it would be on the moon , I simply cannot risk security by holding it in any of the cities that we had captured , nor can I risk Celestia trying to figure out where we are either thought Luna .

She was right on one thing , she simply had to figure out a way to make sure that everything goes according to plan . Meanwhile Octavia , Vinyl and Clock music were entertaining the crowd with there songs .

Adam and Rainbow Dash were just enjoying the music , Dusk Shine , and his friends were simply talking upstairs about few things .

While Rainbow Blitz was , also talking with his friend Dusk shine .

"Listen , this war is easily going in our favor , I'd say that we step up our game and show those solar idiots , how we do things" said Rainbow Blitz .

"while I do agree on that , we should also make sure that if we do 'step up our game' we should make sure that we also know what targets to hit" pointed out Dusk Shine . Nodding Rainbow Blitz couldn't find any fault in what his friend was saying .

Fluttershy and Butterscotch , were talking about there animals and what hopes lie for the future of the New Lunar Republic . Soon Artemis decided to grab his sister Luna and talk to her about what he had found out about .

With Artemis and Luna

"Sister I had found out great news , our parents are alive" said Artemis happily . At first Luna was confused , seeing as to how she only knew her father King Cosmos .

"You see Luna , you only knew your father , however your mother was the one that gave birth to you" said Artemis . "Well pray tell who is my mother?" asked Luna .

"I think her name is Queen Chernalia , and she was the one that gave to birth not only you but the entire royal family , we are the ones that mostly handle the military but it's you two that are princesses on the throne" explained Artetmis .

"Your brother is right" said a voice . Luna spun around and saw her mother , Queen Chernalia standing in her full glory . "Mother is that really you?" asked Luna with tears ready to spill . "yes my daughter it is me , gather your brothers and sisters , we should talk in private" said Chernalia .

Hours later

everyone had met in the dinning hall and Luna practically exploaded with pure anger , her brothers and sisters were in shock .

"HOW COULD THEE !, HOW COULD THEE ABANDON US LIKE THAT , WHAT WAS THOU THINKING LIKE THAT , DOES THY MIND HAVE AN EMPTY HOLE IN IT?! , TO CALL US YOUR DAUGHTER IS AN INSULT!" shouted Luna in her royal canterlot voice . Her mother Chernalia remained calm and didn't raise her voice once .

But in the past , she did listen to Luna's problems and always helped her find a way to fix them . This time , this it was different .

This time Luna was right about her being abandoned and raised with Celestia's parents all through out her fillyhood , and through her young mare years , into the mare she is now .

"Luna I am sorry that I abandoned you like that , but at the time I had no money to speak of , while yes I acted foalish , now I really want to help you , I heard about what happened with Celestia , and sadly I wish I had been there same with your father , but now , now I want to make it up to you Luna ,I want to show you that I can still care for you , it's the same with all of you , and as for what happened I want to be filled in on what happened on this war' said Chernalia .

Luna was able to calm down for a bit before agreeing . Star Chaser however reverted from her Nightmare Moon form .

"Ah Star Chaser ,I see you have mastered your nightmare form?" asked Chernalia . "I have indeed , I am sorry about Luna being banished like that 1,000 years ago" said Star Chaser .

"but it is good to see you mother both you and father alive and well , oh some news , we are still deciding on where to hold the lunar Allied meeting , for reasons of security we can't hold it here on Equestria , so I was thinking we could hold it on the moon" said Star Chaser .

"That is an excellent Idea Star Chaser , so anyway after the party me and your sister are going to have a mother to daughter talk and catch up on what happened" said Chernalia . "Mom , where's father?" asked Midnight Rose .

"He's here , at the party , I'll go get him" .

She walked off with Luna in tow , not because she was going to be punished because she had a lot to tell her mother about what happened from the point she was sent to the moon a thousand years ago . She soon found King Cosmos her husband talking with the human captain .

"Ah so you were the one that helped win the first two space battles and now this one , congratulations" said King Cosmos .

"thank you , I did everything that I could , but overall I'm just doing my job nothing much to say in that department" said Adam with a sheepish grin .

"yea you should see him in action , he's great when it comes to space battles" added Rainbow . "now now RD , no need to go stroking my own ego , you do that plenty enough" .

RD pouted but broke into a grin and just hugged him knowing that he meant well. "Lets face it , you were there when I was vulnerable the most and now you and me are inseparable after that first day of the war .

"yea that's true , however you plan to look after Scootaroll , poor colt could use someone to help him" said Adam . "I guess so , I'll adopt both him and Scootaloo" said Rainbow Dash with a small smile .

"ya know you do make a fine ship captain wining three battles like that , soon I know each and every one of you will be awarded some kind of metal" said Cosmos .

" Oh please save it after the war" .

"I'll be sure to do just that my friend , after all you and the others including those of the royal family can help win this war" said Cosmos .

"Well that's no problem , the solar empire A : has a poorly trained royal guard , and there wonderbolts couldn't take down Spike when he was big , the guards couldn't fend off the changelings" said Adam seriously .

"Well that is true at least that's what we read in the news paper , which is why the New Lunar Republic has a better military a better trained guard and better trained Shadowbolts with a great pegasus to help lead them" said Cosmos .

The lunar king walked off as he and his wife were reintroduced to there entire family , of course Luna cried her eyes out seeing her father again after so long .

Can you really blame her ? Sure he's helped her , but I'm sure she was raised with Celestia's parents , I wonder if Celestia became a spoiled brat during her fillyhood ? Thought Adam .

Meanwhile Clashing Blade and Bolt Tightener decided to mingle with there captain for a bit since there wasn't a whole lot to do .

Griffonia

King Beck Slasher was working on some new design plans for some energy based weapons , like the energy staff and zat , one of the weapons the goauld used against the humans in the Stargate SG1 show . He soon sent off the plans to the griffin research and development.

While the P90 did the trick same with the walther p99 pistol helps , it also add's a whole new meaning to the word side arm .

With the first Lunar Allied Meeting coming up , I should get ready just in case it does happen thought the griffin king .

He walked off to get ready for the allied meeting, knowing that someone would have to run the kingdom while he was away .

Manehatten , Equestria

soon the party died down and everypony was back to there patrols , Rainbow told Scootaroll and Scootaloo that she decided to adopt them .

Both were esctatic and hugged the stuffing out of there older sister .

Adam however simply hung back and had a small smirk on his face . If I know the both of them right , it's more than likely they'll wanna help one way or another he thought . Not wanting to say a word , he simply let the scene unfold until both of them were hugging him around his legs . Before he could fall backwards rainbow had caught him with ease to get him to the couch .

With Scooaloo and Scootaroll

the both of them now have an older sister also one who is in the NLR military .

Not wanting to ask , knowing she would say no , they decided to flip through the signup sheets until they came across an add for the New Lunar Republic Black OPS , a special branch ran by the NLR SOCOM . Adam later looked at the ad and decided to talk it over with Rainbow Dash first to be safe .

"I saw this ad in the local NLR military pages , apparently Scooaloo and Scootaroll must of left it , if I remember right , they wanna help out plus there afraid if they ask you directly then you would say no" said Adam .

"While I would yes , there is a reason for it , I don't wanna loose them after I had just adopted them , though if they do want to join , then one of us is going to have to train them in order for them to be ready for Black ops" explained Rainbow .

"alright but who would train them in that field ?" asked Adam confused .

"I think I might know someponies who could help in this predicament" said Rainbow with a smirk . "Oh?" .

" Alright so there names are Moon shadow and Moonseeker both high ranking officers in the NLR Black Ops , also they have generals who basically if I remember answer to the Commandant , and the Commandant answers to the Master Sargent of the NLRMC" explained Rainbow . "well that makes sense , when do you think we can get in touch?" Asked Adam .

"I don't know as of yet I'll be working on that right now we will have to do what we can to help train them" said Rainbow .

While her reasons made sense , however one thing stuck out as odd , she didn't want them to join because she would be afraid of loosing them , and yet she totally changed her mind on the matter .

Perhaps she's afraid of seeing them buried in the ground if they return but dead for one simple screw up thought Adam. It does make sense and yet I'm confused of it all , oh well I suppose I could roll with it for a while , that is until something happens.

Hours later Rainbow Dash soon had some good news , she was able to get in touch with Moonshadow and Moonseeker , and they would be delighted to train them but they had to go to the NLR academy to train there .

Agreeing the both of them told them the news , while they cried tears of joy for considering it , they did tell them that the training is going to be NOTHING like what they both did in the past .

Another thing that they would have to do is address there drill Sargent as either 'sir' or 'ma'am' as he or she is going to be the one training them but others will be joining them at what Adam called 'Boot Camp'

"Basically Boot camp readies you for the military , for what branch you two would be going into , we applied you for the NLR Marine Corp , a special branch that would handle" said Adam . Both nodding Scootaloo and Scootaroll decided to get some early training early on long before they were going to be trained .

NLR Academy , NLRMC Boot Camp

Drill Instructor : Lunar Gaming

Rank : Sergeant

Drill Instructor : Trail Blazer

Rank : Sergeant

Lunar gaming and her friend Trail Blazer arrived at the building and got off the bus that brought them there .

They had some help from the bus driver as they unloaded in there office's. Meanwhile Scootaloo and Scootaroll were getting trained by Moonshadow and Moonseeker and brutally , both Adam and Rainbow stood back and saw it all .

"You think there going to be ready for Black Ops ?" asked Adam . "Oh I'm sure , after a few days , there going to be ready for any and everything , of that I am sure of" said Rainbow .

"great , cause I heard that we are going be working on training our troops while at the same time working on attacking Fillydelphia next" .

"yea that's true , however though I will be working with my shadowbolts to train the new ponies to get them up to speed on a few things" said Rainbow .

"well all I can say RD is best of luck , cause I'm sure that number one , the solar Empire knows that they can't beat us , they couldn't beat us at Trottingham , they couldn't beat us at Baltimare , and now they can't beat us at Manehatten , besides , you saw what there 'capbable' of it's pathetic really" said Adam .

"yea I know when I was a filly I wanted to be a wonderbolt go all around Equestria , but now I got what I wanted , I have my own team , a team that I can trust and rely on with the Shadowbolts I have a chance with them to lead them into battle , and come home safe and sound" said Rainbow .

Adam hugged the blue pegasus knowing she was right , though she was vunlerable he was there for her , as was everypony else .

But it was him who she counted on to be her shoulder to cry on , an ear to listen to .

A person she can open up to , to share feelings with to just vent when she needed to . She had come to care about this person this human being . While she may have had that with Twilight , it wasn't until that day that she betrayed not only Rainbow but her own friends saying that they were dead to her and disowning Spike . In the end she stuck with Luna for a better future , for change in Equestria . Something she can look forward to is a brighter future .

Now that I think about it here on the moon we have made Teleological leaps and bounds centuries ahead of our time , we have a new means of transportation , ships to command in , fighters to use , guns no longer bows and arrows no longer pathetic armor , enchant all you want but sooner or later the said enchantment would wear out thought Rainbow . She hugged him back with the warmest of smiles on her face in a long time .

"Yea I'm glad you came here to help us , and I'm glad I met you ,cause before I was a wreck , all five of us were , but Spike was the worst , every night he would cry , and we could only do our best to comfort him , that's where we met Dusk Shine , he took over the duties that Sparkle did as the local library and well that's how things got started he simply listened as each of us vented , mostly me and Applejack , for that I cared but you came along and helped me , you cared when my friends were getting help , it was as if you not only came here to help me but to help win us this war" said Rainbow .

"Trust me , you didn't hear this from me , but you and Twilight are my favorite ponies , but it was a shock to me to see Twilight on the wrong side on the loosing side" said Adam . "well thanks and all but we should keep that last part between you and me" whispered Rainbow Dash .

"Yea goo idea , lets go check on how Scootaloo and Scootaroll are doing on there Black ops Training" said Adam walking outside . "yea" .

The two of them walked outside to see the two orange pegasus ponies working harder than ever before on there training . Moon seeker and Moon shadow were doing what they can to make sure that they get it right .

"How's there training going?" asked Rainbow .

Stressful , but there training is going well , despite a few things" said Moonshadow with a sigh . "Oh like what?" asked Adam .

"Well despite Scootaroll's outburst but we got him back in line and the same went with Scootaloo , in a weeks time they'll be ready for our own version of Boot Camp" said Moon seeker.

NLR Academy : NLRMC Bootcamp

Lunar Gaming and Trail Blazer were finally setup for the recruits arrival . Both knowing that it was going to be stressful , for the first few weeks .

They looked out a window and saw an entire bus load of ponies pour out of the bus and enter the grounds of where they are going to be training .

"Welcome to Boot Camp recruits , as you know this is where your going to be training for the rest of your days here, don't expect us to hold your hooves , or wipe your muzzle or anything like that , you are going to sweat and work hard , and we expect NOTHING but the best out of you is that clear?" all he got was nothing but silence out of these ponies . "AM I CLEAR!" . "AYE SIR!" .

"good now then we are going to be splitting you up the mares are going to be following Sargent Gaming , you guys are going to be following me to your assigned training grounds" said Trail Blazer . Both groups were split up at that the mares headed with Lunar gaming who had plans for them .

Each pony handed them a pair of sweats , courtesy of Rarity , running boots and various hygienic products and of course . Once each of the two groups were settled in , they all got to know each other . Cause tomorrow training was going to begin .

Location : The Crystal Empire

Princess Candence found out that she was pregnant , sadly though her family was doing the best they can to help her through this pregnancy . As for her 'husband' shinning armor , he was nowhere to be found anywhere in the Crystal Empire .

Her father Emperor Crystal was doing what he could to help his daughter while her brother or brothers Prince Charming and Prince Cristoph de Crystale were also doing what they could to help out . Meanwhile it was her mother Empress Phenacite who handled Cadenc'es subjects .

"honey how could her husband not be here for his wife , this is insane" said Emperor Crystal while tending to Cadence .

"I am puzzeled as well , from what I heard is that this 'Shinning Armor' character is loyal to Princess Celestia of the Solar Empire and I think has or had , cut all ties with the Crystal Empire and yet remaines a prince , this is what puzzles me this most , why would Shinning Armor abandon his own wife when she needs him the most" said Phenacite . Thinking it over prince Charming and Prince cristoph formed there own theories on what was going on .

"Well perhaps before this war happened , maybe Celestia wanted him at her side the whole time which is why he can't see his own wife , who is pregnant with his foal" said Prince Charming . "While I would be inclined to agree I think your right , on what you said" said Crystal .

The small Crystal family agreed that it would be best if Shinning Armor never saw his wife , and would stop him either way with any means necessary.

"While I don't like this one bit , it has to be done , for the sake of our daughter and her own unborn foals" said Crystal seriously .

Hours later he ordered the guards to patrol the entire city , and have guards patrol the entire castle all corridors and have two more guard the entrance to his daughters chambers . After the order was given the guards knew what to do .

As for Twilight the same order was given to NOT let either Shinning Armor or Twilight Sparkle see Cadence for whatever reason , in fear that they might kill her and the foal or foals .

Moon City

Adam's POV

I decided tohead back inside to watch a bit of TV , or just to see what was new on .

I turned on the TV and this was new that the NLR had there own News Network , the New Lunar Republic 12 I guess it's like KSBW Action News 8 back on Earth or something like that .

"This is Iva for the New Lunar Republic 12 , as you already know we have been gathering information about what has been going on , apparently there has been a war going on on , we now go live to Trottingham with our corespondent Iggy Buffs , Iggy what's it like over there?" asked Iva .

Trottingham , Equestria

"I can tell you this Iva , it's like your normal city , but it wasn't like that before , before a faction known as the New Lunar Republic lead a bold attack on Trottingham and successfully drove out the Solar Forces the ground forces lead by Captain Shinning Armor , and the Solar Fleet lead by Admiral Twilight Sparkle , both defeated badly , there losses were staggering . However through tactical thinking and focused on winning the New Lunar Republic was able to win Trottingham" said Iggy Buffs .

Moon City

"well that was interesting … hold on this just in , Empress Celestia is about to give a speech , we now go live to Canterlot , with Sparkle Scribe on the scene , Sparkle what in the name of the moon is going on?" asked Iggy confused

Canterlot ,Equestria

"well Iggy , from where I am standing , apparently the entire crowd of ponies that either are working normaly take the time to listen , however guards are patrolling the streets looking for anypony NOT listening to Princess Celestia's Speech …. hold on here she comes now , lets tune in" said Sparkle Scribe .

Princess Celestia's POV

I walked onto the balcony of Canterlot castle and greeted by thunderous cheers from below . "Citizens of the Solar Empire" I said loudly enough . That got there attention and even those of news journalists. "As you know , the war is going badly for us , however I plan to change ALL of that I am going to in act a law that is going to enlist any stallion or mare into the solar Army , also we plan to retrain and restrengthen after our losses at Trottingham , Baltimare and now Manehatten . It is time that I get a couple of new ponies for the solar Army , I also plan to bring in a new branch for the Solar Military , The Marines , along with the Air force , and even restructure the Wonderbolts this time with Captain Lightning Dust replacing Captain Spitfire and Commander Brave Wing replacing Commander Soarin as of now the both of them are relieved of duty as they cannot beat the highly trained Shadowbolts . We need to restructure the entire military make it stronger and able to match wit for wit with those of the New Lunar Republic , also as of right this moment me and Luna are NO longer sisters on the field of battle , and now I plan to introduce them , Come on out Lightning Dust" said Celestia .

The light blue Pegasus walked out onto the balcony proudly , Lightning Dust couldn't be happier as she was finally wearing a solar wonderbolts uniform , it matched the colors of the sun perfectly .

"Come on out Brave wing" . Brave wing is an Orange pegasus with also the colors of the sun and yet no cutie mark . "These two , are going to lead the wonderbolts to highly combat the shadowbolts , as w now have a chance against them , we will soon have victory over the rebel group the New Lunar Republic" said Celestia proudly . I could hear the thunderous applause from below and it filled me with such joy that I walked back inside Luna your shadowbolts have finally met there match .

Spitfires POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing , Lightning Dust is REPLACING ME AS CAPTIAN?!.

This is outrageous ! , she dosen't have what it takes to be a captain of the Wonderbolts , I have lead those ponies battle after battle , and yes I am proud to say that Rainbow Dash , has a better team a team of fast flyers , but also a better team that can fight and hold there own .

I later head back to my office and just packup no longer caring where I go , my life is over , I hope your happy Celestia you have lost one of the most best captains that can really lead the Wonderbolts ! . "What's going on Spitfire?" asked Soarin confused .

"Celestia replaced us , apparently she's right the Solar Empire has taken too many losses and she's replaced us with Brave wing and …. Lightning Dust" I said sadly . "Well where are we going to go?" asked Soarin .

"I know one place , The Crystal Empire , there we can at least make a life for ourselves and hopefully this war can blow over" .

Shocked Soarin started to pack up , hours later we soon we headed to Ponyville and simply boarded a train that was bound for the Crystal Empire.

I lost my job to Lightning Dust , after she pulled several stunts to try and 'win' the competition , Rainbow Dash was right that day , she was endangering other ponies lives , now she has my job ! .

I really don't know what else to say anymore , is that frankly I can try and start a new life here.

Hours later we had a house to ourselves and well our wonderbolt days are over , and with time ponies are sure to remember us , but now well that's different . Who would remember Spitfire and Soarin , I doubt Rainbow Dash ever would .

Inside the Crystal Castle

Emperor Crystal and Empress Phenacite were thinking hard on something and finally they came up with an idea . "We could create a peace corp and go from there" said Emperor Crystal.

"I guess so darling , but who would lead the Peace corp , you and me can't heck none of us can as we have to take care of our daughter Cadence who needs our help" said Phenacite .

"that is true my darling , don't worry I know two ponies who can do just that, I met them sometime ago hopefully there still alive and here in the Crystal Empire" said Emperor Crystal .

He looked up two names and there were Hope and Pulsar . He showed the names to his wife who nodded in agreed . "I'll send guards out to bring them here" said Phenacite .

Hours later the two ponies were brought before the Emperor and Empress of the Crystal Empire . "Your hignesses , what is it that you require of us?" asked Hope .

"We are going to make you both Princess and Prince of this new faction we are going to set up , The Peace Corp we are already working on underground bunkers should nuclear fallout happen , and if it does then take what war refuges come across your path and get them into said bunkers and DO not open them for any reason until the radiation has died down" said Emperor Crystal . "Understood , and thank you both for this opportunity" said Pulsar with a smile on her face .

Both newly crowned Princess Hope and Prince Pulsar started to find a some war refuges and low and behold they found Spitfire and Soarin former Captain and Commander of the Wonderbolts .

Finally they started to setup a small refuge camp just outside the Crystal Empire with houses along with various things to do .

Meanwhile more refuges from the Changeling Swarm , and the Griffin Empire started to come to the small camp to settle down cause either A : they didn't want to fight or B : there should be peace in Equestria once again .

The amount of refuges from all over Equestria was pouring in and more and more houses were being built . Princess Hope and Prince Pulsar had to care for so many refuges that it wasn't even funny .

Moon City , NLRMC Boot camp

With Trail Blazer

Day 1 Training Begins

"Alright you good for nothing Ponies , get up!" ordered Trail Blazer . Quickly the stallions were scrambling out of bed and getting into line as quick as they could .

"Alright we are going to start with a nice and easy warm up , something the human race calls PT or Phyiscal Training , we are going work the lead out of you , make you real stallions , not like what I see before me" said Trail Blazer .

One pony was trying to hold back a laugh , and that was something that was really ticking off Trail Blazer . Briskly walking over to the near laughing stallion he got up right in his muzzle .

"DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY , WHAT DO YOU FIND SO FUNNY ABOUT THIS?!" shouted Trail blazer .

Quickly he shut up . " I want an answer right now recruit , I wanna know what you find is so funny , do share with the rest of the other recruits , come on out with it" .

"Sir I don't find anything funny sir ! , it's just well why us? , couldn't you have found a bunch of other stallions besides us?" asked Tinderbox.

"THEN WHY IN THE NAME OF LUNA DID YOU SIGN UP FOR THE MARINE CORP YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF MANNURE , WHILE I WAS OUT THERE TAKING ON THE SOLAR EMPIRE ,WHEN YOUR MOTHER WAS WIPING YOUR MUZZLE! , DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME 20 !" shouted Trail blazer .

Quickly Tinderbox started doing pushups like a mare would , oh boy I have a lot of work to do with these stallions ! Thought Trail blazer .

"alright , here's what's going to happen , while chuckles tries to do a push up , we are going to get dressed with the clothes that the ponies gave you before , I'm going to show you how a push up is really done , for those of you that are pegasi and never used those wings I'm going also show you how a wing up is done as well" said Trail Blazer .

Quickly Tinderbox got back up on all fours and didn't dare say another word .

Hours later beds , were made , and every single pony was freshened up for the day ready to take on what ever there drill instructor threw at them .

With Lunar gaming

if things with Trail Blazer were tough with his recurits , things were going to be even tougher with her recruits Time to wake them up thought Lunar Gaming .

Quickly she got dressed in her drill instructors outfit and marched down to the sleeping quarters and do what any good mother would do , wake up the pony with some sunlight .

All groaning the mares either threw the covers other themselves for some extra sleep or they didn't get up at all .

I can see THAT won't work , time to what all drill instructors do. She blew her whistle waking up every single pony in the whole room , several got out of bed and fell right into line smirking inwardly .

"Alright , for those of you that got up due to either the shades being lifted up or my whistle being blown good job , and for THOSE of you that are still asleep , expect me to this every single morning till I expect all of you to get up and fall into line" said Lunar Gaming

"this isn't a sleep over , and this isn't home anymore, so none of you get a choice this is boot camp , and you WILL follow my instructions and you WILL get up in a timely manner , and if I have to blow my whistle in your face to wake you up then so be it , if I have toss your entire bed from it's from it's frame and onto the floor for you to get up then so be it I am not your grand mother , I am not your daddy I am not your mother I am not your sister , nor am I your brother either , I am your drill instructor and I am going to train you into a marine one way or another , if you make it hard dig your back hooves in then your only making it hard on yourself and expect the rest of your days to be even harder" .

"if this is what those of you came from , then I will work the lead out of you from sun rise till sunset and repeat until your ALL marines , you will all learn team work , the easy way or the hardway" . All the mares were finally awake cause now things are going to be going her way .

"Now that everypony is awake hit the showers and meet me outside once dressed cause we are going to be going on a mile run" said Lunar Gaming seriously . Hours later of waiting the mares were finally ready to go fully dressed and in line .

"As I said before , we are going on a mile run , so don't expect this to be a morning jog I am going to load your saddle bags with rocks to give you a tougher challenge" said Lunar Gaming .

Each mare handed her there saddle bags and she found the heaviest rock she could find and put it in with out said saddle bag ripping open . Soon the mare recruits felt some weight on them . "Now follow me" . Each one taking off on a trot able to keep up but barely .

With Trail Blazer

Trail Blazer waited for his recruits to get done , and done they were with showering making there beds and even getting dressed . "Alright you sissy ponies , I'm gonna show you how a push up is done" said Trail Blazer .

He soon spotted Adam just sitting out on his porch reading a random book and thought of an idea . "Excuse me" .

That got the captains attention as he looked up and saw the drill sargent standing in front of him.

"Yea can I help you?" asked Adam . "yea I need you to show , these recruits how to do a proper pushup" said Trail Blazer .

Putting the book down , Adam said yes and followed the drill sargent back to the boot camp grounds and obviously showed them how to do it right , he told them to spread there legs apart and make sure there 'plot' was down in order to go down and back up . After seeing that the recruits were able to mimic it .

Hours later they got into PT and the captain went back to reading his book . Hours later Rainbow came out and decided to join him . "I didn't know you read books" said Adam curiously .

"Well I do , thankfully I grabbed everything that I could and left all my wonderbolt posters behind and only grabbed all my daring do books" said Rainbow with a grin . Confused she told him about Daring do and her famous book series .

"Oh Well Indiana Jones has a book series , and like 4 movies and even was in several video games , I'd like to see Daring Do top that" said Adam with a smirk .

Defeated Rainbow was right , Daring do couldn't top that , however she was interested in what Indiana Jones does .

"Well that's easy , he's basically like Daring do , only he's found the Ark of the Covenant , and eve the drinking cup of the holy grail , and oh lets not forget he was in the last movie known as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" said Adam . Meanwhile both Scootaroll and Scootaloo were tired and curled up on the couch sleeping after a shower and lunch . As for Adam and Rainbow , the both of them just smiled and talked for as long as they could . "You know RD , i'm kinda glad that the two of them are taking this seriously .

Once they make into the black ops there going to be all grown up" said Adam as he was reading Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark .

"yea that is true , but we don't want them to forget who they are when there fighting in the war" added Rainbow .

"yea but moving on from that , I finally have a family married or not , I have you Scootaloo and Scootaroll , just what more could I even well ask for" said Adam .

"Don't worry about that now , just make sure that you always come home alive" said Rainbow . "yea same with you RD" said Adam . He took her hoof in his hand as he put down his book .

He looked into her eyes and kissed her , surprised she kissed him back knwoing she now had somepony or in this case someone to support her no matter what .

Pulling back for air the both of them saw Dusk Shine in a panicked state . This can't be good they both thought .

"Alright Dusk Shine what's the problem now?" asked Adam . "I have some rather tragic news" said Dusk Shine . "well out with it" said Rainbow impatiently .

"Celestia used her Nuclear weapons on several cities in Equestria starting off with cities like Fillydelphia , Van Hoover , Hoofington , Dodge Junction , Las Pegasus , Tall Tale , she even nuked Hollow Shades and now I hear she may nuke places like Trottingham , Manehatten and Baltimare as well , she's wiping out all life on Equestria as we speak , we have to stop her as of right now" said Dusk Shine .

"For what reason would Celestia use her nuclear weapons?" asked Rainbow seriously .

"They were starting to look in our favor , starting to see us as the ones to win the war , the ones to see that we are right , the ones to expose Celestia for who she really is a tyrant , a madmare , and now a mass murderer to add to that, capturing her is out of the question now , heck the entire lunar family is meeting and you two are required to be there so come on" .

Adam and Rainbow looked at each other with worry , but also with pure rage in there minds capturing her wouldn't work .

Getting up they followed Dusk Shine to the castle of Moon city , they walked inside and into the meeting hall .

Where they saw the entire royal family ones like Lunar wishes , Midnight Rose , Prince Eclipse , Prince Artemis , Lunar Shine , Lunar Flower , Crescent Song , Northern Crescent , Prince Concord , Prince Shadow , King Cosmos , Queen Chernalia , Nightmare Beat , Prince Orkan , Lunar Rainbow , Nightmare Dancer , Night Wish , Lunar Storms , Lunar Descent , Princess Luna and Princess Star Chaser . Taking there seats next to the king and queen a lot was going to go down .

"As you already know , Empress Celestia has targeted and nuked several cities , ones that Dusk shine has already explained to Captain Seville of the lunar Space devision and Rainbow Dash Captain of the Shadowbolts , she has murdered so many ponies that not only that they had protested since she did threaten them with nuclear weapons but when that didn't work and they started to go to our side , it was no luck she nuked them right then and there, as of now this meeting has been called into order" said King Cosmos .

"I agree with my husband apparently training our forces for Fillydelphia just won't work , but we do need to train our forces now for Canterlot , waiting to attack Fillydelphia is now out of the question ! , we need to get the changelings up to speed , which is why we are going to be holding a Lunar alliance Meeting or a LAM for short here at Moon City , several cities were just starting to take notice of us , only for them to wiped off the face of Equestria , so now we have to train our troops hard" said Queen Chernalia angrily .

"Yes and we must get our new troops trained soon , cause if not more cities are going to be nuked if we don't act soon" added Lunar Flower . "True , and once we do act we should bring our full military might to Canterlot with our allies beside us" said Nightmare Dancer . This time Adam stood up to say something .

Adam's POV

"Every single one of you are right , cause if we don't stop celestia now , then your all right more cities are going to be nuked , and who knows how many more lives are going to be lost in this war" I said .

And yes I was referring to the lives of Cloudsdale and Ponyville , cause I have to break the news to Applejack sooner or later about Fillydelphia and the other cities .

"Also we should focus on training our troops yes , which is why we should get an army boot camp built at the NLR Academy and have our troops trained , I don't know how long it will take but we have to hurry soon" .

"I concur with what you had said there , which is why Spike head of the NLR military Academy is going to be doing such a thing , and as for the drill sargents I chose Aetherious , Cliff racer , Knight Shade , Retro Reck , and Star Keeper , they are all going to be at the rank of Sargent training all new troops and also frankly we have no choice but to do this , we are going to be helping the changelings with there technology and a means to build up there fleet" said Lunar Storms .

" I agree , and besides , since we are going to be helping the changelings we should also prepare the Crystal Empire for it's betrayal" said Eclipse seriously .

I nodded , however things weren't going to be easy , but we had no other choice Celestia committed murder on a massive scale , a scale unlike ponykind has ever seen in there history .

"Alright if we are going to go through with this , then we must know that she had forced our hoof , it is time that we end her' I said with an angry expression . For once Luna matched my expression with one of her own as did Star Chaser .

"For once I do agree , Celestia will be ended one way or another , as we will be bringing this up with our allies" said Luna .

"I concur sister , Celestia went too far , way too far and this time it is time we end her once our troops are trained" said Star Chaser .

"Hopefully we can help in that department" said Lunar wishes . "acutally , Lunar gaming and Trail blazer are working there recruits , which means that we should inform the changeling hive and Queen Chrysalis" I added .

I looked around and I saw that every single brother and sister of the royal family matched my expression and nodded there heads in agreement , in a few days time we would march upon Canterlot with the full force of the New Lunar Republic and her allies , Celestia you are going to pay very dearly for what you had just done! I thought angrily .

The lunar family meeting was over and I later told the apple family what happened , luckily Applejack didn't hit me but was so angry she nearly bucked Big Mac and or Macerina , in all my days I had never seen her so angry .

"Was it something I had done?" I asked . "Nope , you did the raght thing by telling us , ah now know what mah sis needs to do , I'll tell her" said Big mac .

The big red stallion walked off and told Applejack to let off some steam by workingit always made her calm down . And with that said she did just that . "Alright you joining up in the army?" I asked .

"Eyup , Celestia has gone to far with this war , and we need to end now" said Big Mac . "heck even Macerina is going to join up as well" . "and ah plan to , it aint going to be easy but ah have to" said Macerina . "Count' me in" said Applebuck . Big mac and Macerina were going to argue that he was too young , but this time they agreed .

"Alright sometime you all will follow the drill instructors order to the red letter , this won't be like what you do here on the farm , it's going to be Boot Camp , a whole new ball park" I said seriously .

"Don't worry we can handle it" said Big Mac putting a hoof on my shoulder . Much to my surprise even Applebloom wanted to join , she said Ponyville was her home and where she grew up .

I told her the same thing , Sweetie Belle even asked if she could join up .

"Well someponies going to have to teach you Magic 101" I said . She nodded and was more than ready .

"Rainbow relay the information to your shadowbolts , I think it's time we kick this into gear" I said . She nodded and took off like a rocket.

Rainbow Dash's POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing , how could Celestia do this ?! , this is an outrage , and I know what I have to do. Get my shadowbolts ready , ready for action once again !.

I have to do this , get my shadowbolts team , train them , and make sure that we can handle whatever the Solar Empire throws at us ! I thought as I flew .

"Alright Shadowbolts listen" I said . Every single Shadwobolt fell right into line Snowflake included .

"for those of you who don't know what is going on , Celestia had committed Nuclear genocide , she has nuke several cities ones including Fillydelphia , the very city we were going to take , but now that has changed , Canterlot is now our new target , as of right now , the marines have there recruits being trained , and soon the army is going to be joining in , we are too , I am going to train you all so consider me your drill instructor , most of you may know what to do so just consider this a refresher course , I know most of you have been out of action for a while , so it's time that we use guns and swords" .

Hours later I was training the shadowbolts , my hoof picked team , of fast fliers but also fliers that can fly , ones like Apocalypse knew what to do and didn't need my help .

All I had to do was sit back and watch the shadowbolts train there hearts out . I know you all can do this , do this for me at least I thought .

NLRMC Bootcamp

With Sargent Lunar Gaming

during her mile run with her recruits she received message via derpy hooves .

"thank you derpy" said Lunar gaming . She opened the letter and read what happened on Equiss and was in shock over what had happened .

Celestia your going to pay with your life for what you had just done thought Lunar gaming . "Ma'am what is it?" asked Glory .

" I had just received a message and it's not good , Celestia had nuke several cities who had protested and started to notice us for who we are and what we do" sid Lunar gaming with tears nearly spilling . The other recurits all stopped and surrounded her and hugged her while she finally cried . But she still had to train her recruits for something like this .

"Alright , listen , while something like this is very tragic , that doesn't mean we are NOT gonna stop , we are gonna finish this mile run and then it's on to hoof to hoof combat , much like the human version hand to hand combat' said Lunar gaming. I'm doing this for my recruits , for the future of the New Lunar Republic thought Lunar gaming .

With Sargent Trail Blazer

He received the same message and had a burning rage in his eyes .

"Alright Recruits listen up , several cities had been nuke by Celestia , not only for protesting but also for , noticing that we are not a rebel group , but to also help free them from the grips of Celestia , I fear that sooner or later she may nuke Ponyville or Cloudsdale next , BUT that doesn't mean we aren't going to stop training , we are going to train until I think that you lot are ready, " said Trail Blaze with a burning rage .

He wasn't directing it at his recruits but at Celestia . And soon enough they got back doing PT , along with soon to be the crucible .

Back with Rainbow Dash and the shadowbolts

"Captian Dash" said Commander Snowflake. "What is it Commander?" asked Rainbow . "is it really true that Celestia did nuke those cities?" asked Snowflake .

"Yes it is very true , which is why I'm training all of you and also the reason as to why the army is going to start as well" .

"Alright how long do we have before we attack Canterlot?" asked Snowflake.

"A week maybe longer" said Dash simply . And so the training really begins , with the marines , the army , and the shadowbolts in the air force .
