A/N: This is the beginning of the arc! I hope you all like this one; it is going to be good. I am thinking of having it be around 7 or so chapters, depending on what I feel should go on. Remember what I said in the blog, expect the unexpected! On with the chapter!

“Kyle, what do you want to do?” Rainbow Dash asked me with worry.

Umm, I want to live? “Well, they know that you conspired with me to get out of Grydon, so you are in as much trouble as I am. I am going to go to Canterlot right now to talk to Celestia, I want you to go to the house and keep yourself and Stratus safe, barricade the house if you have to. I will see you when I get back, I will not let anything happen to our home” I said to her confidently. I have to protect my family and friends, even if I have to kick ass to do it. HOOAH!

I kissed her for a good few moments to reinforce what I just said and then turned to Vinyl “Vinyl, you have to pretend you never knew me for a while, I am supposedly in a lot of trouble, as you already know. Do you know how to handle it?” I asked her with seriousness. I am so scared right now I can already feel the bricks!

“Yeah, just be careful. I don’t want a repeat of what happened the last time. Get out of here” Vinyl said to me with a reassuring smile.

OK, time to make like a car and roll out! Wow, that one was bad! I smiled and ran out of the club and stood in the street. I looked around and saw some griffons a little ways down the street, but they were busy talking to ponies about probable where I was. “Good, to Canterlot” I said before I took off and flew towards the city.

I got out of the town safely and was now flying full speed towards the capital. Gotta move fast, gotta move fast. I need to get there and tell Celestia what I plan on doing, but I also need to be there for my family! God diggity doodles this is irritating! Ugh, another Tobuscus reference.

It took me about 15 minutes to get to Canterlot at the rate I was flying. I landed right out in front of the castle doors and knocked on it repeatedly and irritatingly. I kept knocking until the door opened and Celestia herself answered. I smiled at her for a quick moment but then seriousness took over once again “Your majesty, I am not sure if you are aware or not, but a large band of griffons have come to Ponyville and are searching for me and anypony that has conspired with me, they are going to do public executions in the town center if they find anything.”

Celestia frowned “Mother of Equestria, I could have sworn that the reinforced barriers and cease and desist letter would have had at least a little more effectiveness. Come with me, you seem to know a lot, we will discuss what to do next, this is something that the elements can’t handle” the princess said before leading me through the corridors of the castle.

I followed her and soon we entered a room that looked strangely like a situation room, only royal status. I took a seat on the table like a baws and looked at her “Ok, I need to make this really snappy if you don’t mind me saying. I have to get back and protect my family, we are all going to be held accountable and I am not going to let anything happen to them so long as I am still breathing” I said to her. She better listen to me or so help me god I will smack a princess and get sent to the moon, at least there I won’t have the risk of dying!

“Yes of course, I currently have no valuable aid in the situation that is upon us, but I will listen intently if you do. Please” Celestia said as she stood in front of me.

“Here is what I managed to come up with in the past like half hour. Twilight is your personal student, and is very good with magic. I know that you have a lot of business here. I was thinking about a way to deceive the griffons to think I and my pony would die, but not actually die. If there is nothing that can be done about that I don’t know what to do, but I will kill the dang things before I go and give up” I said to her with a stern face. Faking death, now that is a new concept on the whole thing!

“I can see what you mean. I know of one spell that will do such a thing. It is currently being held in the archives, but this situation calls for such a thing. I will send it to Twilight so she may study and learn it, as well as tell her why she needs to. It will take at most three days to prepare for this to work properly. If it is used beforehand there may be dire consequences. Do you think this will work?” Celestia asked me.

I don’t know, but it is better than anything you have! “Sure, I need to get back now. Send the stuff to Twilight to tell her to get started. The sooner we get this over with the better. Talk to you soon” I said to her before leaving the room to head back home. I walked outside and took off back towards my home.

Rainbow Dash made it home without being seen and found Stratus sitting on the couch like she left him. She walked over and hugged him tightly. “Dad will be home soon, he needed to go see the princess for something. When he gets home he is going to explain what is going to go on for the next few days” she said to him.

Stratus looked at her with worry “What is going on? Is something going on with dad?”

“You sure are a smart one; I guess you got that from him. It is not just him; we have all been given a horrible accusation by the griffons. When he gets home we will talk about it, but right now I have to keep us safe from them until he gets back” Rainbow Dash said to Stratus with a reassuring smile. I sure hope he knows what he is doing, things are going to shit real quick, and I want him to be here so I can at least be near him while it happens.

Stratus nodded and Rainbow Dash got to work. She closed all of the blinds in the house and lit all of the candles that were in the house. She then locked all of the doors and even put a chair under the doorknobs so they would not open. She smiled at her work that took her about an hour to complete.

Rainbow Dash got up onto the couch with Stratus and held him close. “You know that neither me nor your father would ever let anything bad happen to you. I want you to know that for both of us” Rainbow Dash said to the little pegasus before kissing him on the head and rubbing his mane.

“I know, you and dad are the coolest parents I could ever want, and I know that we will overcome anything as long as we are a family” Stratus said to her.

Rainbow Dash bit back the urge to hug him tightly and cry. Celestia knows that I would not be able to go on if something happened to either you or your dad, you both are too important to me. “I know, we can do this. He should be home anytime now” Rainbow Dash said to him with a smile.

“Who should be coming home soon?” Kyle said as he walked over and sat down on the couch with them.

“Dad! What’s going? Dash said that we would talk about it and I want to know if it is bad” Stratus said to Kyle worriedly.

“Ok, we can talk about it” Kyle said to the little pegasus before rubbing his mane. He then turned to Dash “Thank you for doing all of this, this is not looking good for a little while but it will get better….I promise” Kyle said to the cyan pegasus before kissing her on the lips.

A/N: There you go, the first chapter of the arc! I am hoping you are going to like this one, I have already got it planned out, and someone gave me some very good ideas for what to have in it. He is not from the site, but he is my friend from my town. I will be updating again tomorrow, I need to get back to my break now. See you all soon!
