"Why are we going to Cloudsdale, Twilight?" A soft and smooth voice asked. The voice came from the ever so shy butterscotch yellow pegasus. Her long, silkly rose pink hair draping over her face. Covering her large aquamarine eyes.

"Well, something about war and the Pegasi Lords. But I've never heard of these, Pegasi Lords." Twilight pondered. Her and four other mares sat in the pink basket of Twilight's balloon. It was being pulled by five of the Wonderbolts, including the captain of the Wonderbolts. It was being pulled up to the grand floating city in the sky. The city where many famous pegasus ponies came from. Including the world-wide famous, The Wonderbolts. It was also the home of the Equestrian Air Force. Equestria's second best defence apart from The Creed and the Elements of Harmony.

"If I may ask, darling, why are the Wonderbolts taking us to Cloudsdale? All I managed to hear was Applejack jibbering on about, the Wonderbolts, Rainbow, Pegasi Lords and war." Rarity complained as she glared at the orange farm pony. The unicorn flicked her perfect indigo curls to emphasise her point. The curls bouncing swiftly around her face.

"Excuse me, Miss Rarity. Ah was in a hurry. Rainbow told me ta be quick." Applejack said snidely as she smirked at the white unicorn. "Where is Rainbow anyway? Ah haven' seen her since tha library." The amber mare turned towards her alicorn friend. Who just shrugged her shoulders as a reply.

"I wouldn't know. It's Rainbow Dash, remember. " Twilight weakly smiled. Remembering what the pegasus had said earlier. About the war. And how the pegasi have turned. It's only been two years since the last big threat to Equestria. So far, there have only been small threats like terrorists and rebels. And Rainbow had made sure they knew their place. There would be times where Rainbow disappeared for weeks. All her friends worried for her safety, but as she returned, she assured them that she is fine. That they don't need worry about her.

"Yoo-hoo. Twi. We're here." A bouncy pink pony sang. Twilight blinked numerous times as she was brought out of her thoughts.

"Sorry. Let me just put the spell over you, Rarity and Applejack." Twilight quickly explained as her horn lit up with a rose pink light. Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie's hooves lit up with the same aura.

"Wow. I haven't seen this many guards since the Royal Wedding. I think that there's more." Rarity stared at the rows of pegasus stallions in white and light blue armour.

"Yeah. It's kinda creepy really." Applejack turned to the Wonderbolts in front of them.

"It's usually like this. Cloudsdale have a lot of guards. I guess we just haven't really noticed the increase until now." Silver Lining pointed out to the mares behind them. The group of ponies arrived to a set of grand white doors. Patterns and swirls were engraved onto the cloud doors, giving them a unique and eye catching design. Two pegasi guards stood by the sides of the doors. Holding spears that crossed the doors.

"Your purpose for entering the House of The Pegasi Lords?" One the stallions boomed.

"We shan't tell you as it is classified, but let us pass." Twilight ordered. She was used to giving guards orders now, since she has been a princess for two years. But the guards shook their heads.

"Sorry, Your Highness. By the orders of the Lords, we cannot let you pass." The other guard explained.

"What about us? Let us pass!" Spitfire demanded, her yellow wings flared out.

"I am sorry yet again, Miss Spitfire. You and The Wonderbolts are not allowed to pass. Your ranks are not high enough."

Spitfire groaned.
"Not bucking high enough?! I am the Captain of the Equestria Air Force!! Now bucking open the bucking door before I kick your heads in!!!" The pegasus mare yelled. The guards not flinching at her loud and harsh voice.

"No can do ma'am. Orders are-"

"To obey the commands given to you by the higher authority. That includes Captain Spitfire Speed, co-captain Soarin Skies and Princess Twilight. And me." A voice instructed. Everypony turned to the source of the voice, and saw a pegasus mare in a long, swift black cloak. Soarin growled as he saw his dream mare wearing a similair cloak to the pony who killed his parents.
"Disobeying orders to them is a high offense. You're lucky I am not going to report this." She glared at the guards who gulped. Knowing how dangerous it would be to get the leader of The Creed mad. Nopony wanted to be near Rainbow when she was angry. She's like Spitfire....but a lot worse.

"Yes ma'am." The two guards nodded, put their spears down and opened the doors with their large white wings. "Sorry ma'am. Sorry your highness."

"Rainbow. 'Bout time you got 'ere. Where were you?" Applejack grinned. But when she saw Rainbow's expression, her grin fell. The shadowed pegasus did not smile. Instead she frowned. Many things were stressing her out before. And now war, she wished to the times where it was peaceful. With nothing to worry about, and to be a care-free pegasus.

"I...was...just busy. I was busy. Sorry." She weakly smiled to her friends. Applejack had an idea what she was on about. She had mentioned it earlier. A few days ago, the pegasus explained to her honest friend that her fellow assassins are leaving and disappearing. Making The Creed smaller and smaller each day. Yesterday she said there was less than fifty around Equestria, and less than five outside of Equestria.

Rainbow lead the others down the corridor. She remembered the last time she was here. And she wish she didn't. Remembering the fight here. She shuddered at the thought. Rainbow lead them up to another grand white door. With a completely different pattern. One with pegasi bowing down to five elders with large wings. There were no guards. Rainbow sighed before opening the doors.

"Back again? Hmm, what is it this time, Rainbow Miriam Dashery?" Somepony asked with a hint of evil laughter in his tone. Rainbow's eyes opened wide in surprise.

"Oh crap." She croaked.
