A funeral was held a few weeks after Lacoden has awaken her hate, there were two seperate funerals. One for the workers and one for Knight Storm's team, Echo, and Voyager. Celestia and Luna attended the workers funeral to apologize for what had happened. Knight Soul and Storm and the others were silent during the ceremony. Five caskets were lowered 6 feet into the ground, all in a row. They were empty caskets, they didn't want to get the bodies back, they were too frightened by Lacoden's power to. Dirt covered the caskets as soon as they touched the ground, no tears were shed. They were all too sad and too angry to cry. They went to the frontier, to Shadow's place.
Soul told them all,"If you want to avenge our friends you cant stay, if not you have my permission to leave. Anyone leaving?"
Shadow replied,"I think we all have a score to settle with her."
Lancer added,"We are prepared for whatever happens next."
"Good, I will be making my own group of elite flyers, Royal Airborne Knights(R.A.K.). There will be four divisions: Scouting/intelligence, attack, defense, and support. You will be able to choose your division, you will be training for a long time, about three months at the most. Since this is the very first time this has been formed we do not know our full potential."
"When do we start?" Hail was eager.
Storm said,"After we go back to the clouds, we got a gift for you all."
They flew back to the clouds and were led to the barracks. They all saw solid bronze armor.
"I know it's kind of late but, you are now officially in our military. Do you accept our gifts to you?"
Aero walked over to the armor and placed his hoof on it,"I'm in."
None of the pegasi left, they were loyal to Equestria.
"A start for a new beginning." said Soul.
Garren and Lacoden were having a conversation at the warehouse that was used to torture innocent beings.
"When do I get to kill her?" Lacoden asked.
"In time. Merciless and death haven't been awoken yet. Our powers take more time to mature, not like the others."
"It was fascinating how you got the yeti to attack Shadow and to activate his power."
"Yetis aren't intelligent it wasn't that hard."
"And how Orcusin(or-kiss-in) convinced those reptiles to attack their own for no reason, genius."
"You are the only one of us that has their power activated but, like the positives it can't reach it's full strength without all three activated. The positives have already got their power activated, they know only need to learn their light command. Once we've all learned ours the war can begin."
"How should we awaken death and merciless?"
"A simultaneous attack on both the Crystal Empire and Canterlot. I will be visiting Shadow and Dawn while, Orcusin will be having a family reunion."
"What about the after effect?"
"Me, Shadow knows I can break out of their bars so, I won't have anything to worry about because, they would just leave me be. Orcusin, I don't know."
"I can work on my teleportation spells to get him out."
"You're thinking smart now, nice job."
"I learned a lot after the siege."
"I hope you liked killing those griffons as much as I did."
"Oh, I did."
They both walked to the back of the warehouse wear the bodies were kept. Lacoden moved the bodies to the side, there was a door under all the limbs and blood. She cast a spell that opened it, the door led to a underground foundry, they followed the great staircase going down. It was large, they didn't need a ventilation system for Lacoden used her magic to filter out the air. There were hoof- swords, blades, and armor in a distribution part of the foundry. This foundry was ran by Changelings, they were obedient to Garren. They obeyed his every word in return for food and Equestria as their new territory. There were hundreds of Changelings, they worked day and night. The only time they were allowed to rest was when they were fed.
"The metal we stole from them will come to be useful in the future." Lacoden said.
"The foundry in the Everfree Forest is nothing compared to this."
"I can't believe you gave them your blueprints for your weapons. Why did you do it?"
"I want to have some fun killing others with weapons than rather killing defenseless ponies. That would just be boring don't you agree."
She chuckled,"I hope they know how to use them. That way we can make a sport out of it. Hehehe."
"Once we activate the Magnas Lumen on Fallen Star the world will be pure."
"Too bad, we all have to be there for it to start."
"Our troubles will be paid off. We watched our friends and family die because, the princesses didn't even help us. They will regret the day they were born."
"We wouldn't have to do this if they only would've helped us!" Lacoden kicked a pipe down into the foundry out of anger.
"Calm down, once they have fallen we can lead a world for the greater good."
"How can we get the amount of ponies we need to get to Fallen Star?"
"They will come of their own free will. After the world has been purified they can bow to us. How does that sound?"
"If Dawn suffers, I'm all in. She deserves pain for abandoning me."
Garren was silent then said,"I will be attacking Canterlot alone, I feel the need to encourage the citizens of the frontier and Canterlot personally."
"Are you sure? I will be at your side if you wish."
"Yes, if we both went we would destroy everything."
"You're kind of old. Are you sure you can?"
"I'm not that old but, until our spy informs us that they are complete with their R.A.K. training we will wait to attack."
"How can you trust our spy? Maybe they will reveal them-self."
"Our spy won't, don't forget we have leverage. A single life in your control can give you command to another."
Next Chapter: Chapter 15 - R.A.K. Briefing Estimated time remaining: 8 Hours, 33 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
I changed the pronunciation of Orcusin to or-kiss-in because or-kuss-in just sounded weird after i typed it and i said it. I wanted it to be or-kiss-in in the first place anyway.
