Prologue


"My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am twenty years old and I live in Canterlot, Equestria. I am a unicorn and I am the personal student of Equestria’s monarch Princess Celestia herself.

I am pretty close to my personal assistant Spike who is a baby dragon, my parents and my big brother best friend forever who is also the captain of the royal guard Shining Armor as well as his marefriend Princess Cadence who was my foalsitter.

Twilight is playing with Shining Armor, Spike and Princess Cadence with Shining and Twilight’s parents Twilight Velvet and Night Light watching with a smile on their faces.

I myself have my own coltfriend, his name is Flash Sentry and he is a cadet at the Royal Guard Academy, Shining does not really that me his little sister is going out with one of his cadets.

Shining watches disapprovingly as Twilight and Flash kiss.

I am also the Green Lantern of Sector 2812!

One night I was taken to the Everfree Forest where I saw this dying alien called Ord Mergel, he said he had been a part of the Green Lantern Corps a police force that protects the entire universe using these rings which work on green energy powered by willpower and can be used to create anything you can imagine, and i had been chosen to be his replacement!

Ord Mergel offers Twilight his ring as he is dying from his wounds that Nightmare Moon gave him.

This new job sometimes has me stopping bad guys in outer space.

Twilight in her Green Lantern uniform was fighting an alien creature in dark blue and black hi tech armour which was beetle shaped. “Who did you guys say you were again?” Twilight asked them in a bored tone as she was fighting him using a green sword construct made by her ring.

Ignorant Green Lantern, I am a warrior of the Reach and we will destroy you and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps!” one of the Blue Beetles said before Twilight used her sword construct to slice open the blue scarab on his back which was his power source.

Whatever, perhaps we will fight again if you are able to pose a challenge.” Twilight yawned as she flew off as the Reach warrior fell onto an asteroid, defeated by the Green Lantern.

Other times it takes me to the Green Lantern home planet of Oa where I usually meet my three teachers and mentors in the Corps: Kilowog, Tomar-Re and Sinestro.

Twilight was in the library of one of the many citadels of Oa where Sinestro was reading out accepts from the Book of Oa with Twilight sitting and listening eagerly.

But most of the time I mainly spend my job in Canterlot stopping bad guys.

I will be Green Lantern! I will kill you and I then I will be able to take all that I want, it will all be mine, mine, mine, MINE, MINE!” Larfleeze shouted at Twilight as he flew away after his foiled attempt to rob the Canterlot bank.

I will get your next time Larfleeze....” Twilight muttered as she helped get the gold back into the bank.

Yeah that was Larfleeze or Agent Orange, he has his own ring which is powered by his own avarice or greed. Here is something I think you should know though:

A month ago all across Equestria, this villain called the Pony of Shadows tried to take over Equestria with his army of Shadow Ponies but he was stopped by me and nine other heroes who them formed the Super Friends of Equestria!

Twilight and the heroes of Equestria were fighting against the Nightmare Moon and Draconequus hybrid form of the Pony of Shadows.

I have not seen my fellow Super Friends of Equestria in a while now, though I probably will someday when we are needed again, until then I continue doing what I do.

Twilight was on another planet in Sector 2812, using a construct of a cannon against an alien with three eyes and was using his third eye to take control of the residents of the planet as wel las emit purple energy which he was shooting at Twilight.

GREEN LANTERN, YOU WILL FALL TO THE MIGHT OF DESPERO!!!!!!!” the alien taunted as Twilight managed to hit him several times  the construct cannonballs which left him dazed and released the residents of the planet from under his control.

I have had to deal with about a hundred would be alien conquerors who all have said the exact same thing to me and they have all suffered the same defeat that you will suffer, right now!!!” Twilight shouted confidently as she knocked out Despero with a sword construct and managed to lock him a construct cage so she could take him away.

YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!!!” Despero ranted as he was forced into his prison cell on a prison planet that Twilight took him to “I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE!!! YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME, YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS GREEN LANTERN!!!!

They have all said that as well after I am done defeating them.” laughed Twilight as she flew off the prison planet.

Despite having to deal with some tough villains, I love my job as the Green Lantern. It gives me a sense of honour and duty that I get to protect Equestria! Basically the same reason Shining loves his job as Captain of the Guards, only my job extends my duty to about a billion other planets in my Sector!

I also get a real sense of honour whenever I need to recite the Green Lantern Oath to recharge my ring!

Twilight was in her room with her horn pointed to her Green Lantern Power Battery as she recited the Green Lantern Oath:

IN BRIGHTEST DAY

IN BLACKEST NIGHT

NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT

LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP EVIL’S MIGHT

BEWARE MY POWER

GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT!!!!!!

So yeah that is my life and my job, I am pretty happy with how things are right now!


CORNHOLIO4 PRESENTS

AN EARTH 52 PRODUCTION




SUNSET CORPS WAR






**

Inside the illustrious Canterlot Palace, Princess Celestia was in her throne room as she was with one of her assistants, it was that time of the day where she would meet with government or military officials and  they discusses what possible concerns they may have.

Sometimes they had valid concerns, sometimes they had not so valid concerns and some had concerns which made her question their sanities.

“Who is next to meet with me?” Princess Celestia asked having already met with three officials that day: one about the high taxes, one about building a new factory and one about relations with Saddle Arabia.

Princess Celestia’s assistant looked to his notebook and said “Cadmus Director Waller wants to speak to you concerning what he believes to be an urgent matter.”

Princess Celestia’s face darkened: Cadmus was the section of the Equestrian Government that deals with military action like fighting against land that Equestria could be fighting at the moment or helping to capture war criminals.

Trask Waller was Cadmus’s director and she believed she knew what he wanted to talk to her about as she had recently met with him several times, each about the same thing.

“Send him in.” Said the Princess, wishing Trask would not persist in this argument since she had no intention of backing down on it.

Trask Waller entered the office: he was a large brown furred and blonde maned earth pony and the shape of his head and body resembled that of Equestrian farmer Big Macintosh. He had a serious look on his face and he was wearing a black shirt with a long silver buttoned up jacket that stretched so far up his body that his Cutie Mark was not able to be seen. Also on the back of his jacket was the Cadmus logo.

“Princess Celestia.” Trask greeted bowing in a Trottingham accent which was where he was from before he moved to Canterlot.

“Director Waller.” Princess Celestia greeted back looking down on the smaller earth pony “What do you wish to discuss with me?”

“I believe you already know what i wish to discuss with you.” Trask responded with the serious look on his face staying as well as a calm tone in his voice “I wish to discuss with you the dangers of Equestria who the public of Equestria are calling ‘superheroes’, including that so called Green Lantern that you seem to persist in defending.”

“The Super Friends of Equestria Director Waller have done nothing but help keep Equestria safe.” Princess Celestia stated managing to keep her calm tone “My faithful student as well as my elder brother Tydal has done nothing that has made her even seem like a threat to Equestria’s safety.”

“They have powers that could bring Equestria to its knees!” argued back Trask his calm tone slipping a little “That Green Lantern has that ring which could be used to create any weapon she chooses! We have to stop her before she decides to use that ring to enslave Equestria!!”

“Director Waller without the help of the ponies you are claiming as threats, Equestria may have been destroyed by those Shadow Ponies.” Princess Celestia argued back her facing getting closer to anger.

“How do we know that they did not just set the whole thing up so they could brainwash Equestria into serving them!” Trask shot back his serious face into an agitated face “Who knows what insidious plans these ponies have concocted!”

“That is quite enough Director Waller!” Princess Celestia shouted now at the point of being mad “please stop in this argument unless you have actual evidence to back up your words and not just unverified and claims!”

“I think you might be showing favouritism and protecting your student from any possible repercussion of her future actions!” Trask shot back and a second later he immediately wished he had not just said that last sentence.

Princess Celestia shot the government agency director with an ice cold glare which made him shrink under it and Princess Celestia’s assistant even hid his face under his hooves in fear.

“Please get out of my sight Director Waller and go back to looking at verified threats at Cadmus.” Princess Celestia stated calmly doing a remarkable voice of keeping the furious anger she had in her face out of her tone or voice “Next time you want to bring nothing up with me please bring some evidence to back up your concerns.”

Trask scampered out of the throne room as fast as he could and as soon as he was outside Princess Celestia switched back to her pleasant and friendly demeanour.

“So who is next on the list?” Princess Celestia asked her assistant giving him a moment to recover.

**

In the head office of Cadmus inside the Palace, Trask Waller ranted and fumed as he entered and furious slammed the door shut with his hooves. Next to his desk was his assistant a red Pegasus mare who had served in the Royal Guard.

“The meeting with the princes did not go over too well, did it Director Waller?” the mare asked although she could already guess the answer.

“No it did not, Lieutenant Trotter!” roared Trask furiously as she sat down at his desk “There has got to be a way to make the Princess see reason of the threat these so called superheroes possess!”

“Maybe we can talk to her about making a law requiring these heroes to register with the government?” offered Trotter but Trask shook his head.

“These freaks need to be destroyed, not registered.” Trask responded and his angry look had turned into a “I guess I will have to take matters into my hooves.”

He then got off his chair and told his assistant ”Come on L.T. Trotter, we are going to tell Task Force X they have a new mission!!”

**

Trask and Trotter walked  out of the palace and then started walking to a shed near the garden of the Canterlot Palace. After making sure the close was clear they then entered the shed.

With Trotter on the lookout Trask pushed a secret lever with his hooves which opened up a down staircase to an underground CADMUS facility which would take them to the cells containing Task Force X.

Task Force X was a secret unit of Cadmus that was classified to all but the higher ups of Cadmus, not even the royal family of Equestria knew about them for they would not approve and would shut it down immediately.

The project aim was that Cadmus would have criminals from Blackgate or Arkham Asylum moved to their custody in these prison cells. They would then become part of Task Force X who would go on to do highly secret black ops missions for Cadmus.

In exchange for their loyal services after five years they would all be allowed to go free time served and their records wiped clean. Each Task Force X soldier was made to wear an electronical collar which would shock them into compliance if they tried to escape or disobey orders.

That is if they survived after five years as the mission for missions had a incredibly high mortality rate. This had been created twenty years ago by the Cadmus director at the time, Colonel Patriot Flag Sr.

“I should have done this a lot sooner.” Muttered Trask with an annoyed look on his face “but I decided to wait and see if the Princess would do the right thing and take care of these threats to Equestria waiting to happen, my mistake then!”

“Be careful the next time you criticize the princess in front of somepony else as I don’t think they will be able to tolerate it.” Trotter told him sternly “Not everypony is as open minded as I am.”

“Noted Trotter.” Trask said with a nod of his head as they had finally walked down to the end of the stairs and were in front of the many hundred rows of cells that the base had. All used to hold Task Force X members or possible candidates.

They then walked up to the five cells containing the current roster of Task Force X. “Time for you criminal scum to once again be called upon to serve Equestria’s greater good.” Trask shouted to the occupants of the cells:

Inside the cell marked “BANE” was a giant minotaur with no horns on his head, who was wearing a black wrestling mask with a skull on it, a vest, trousers and a backpack which used tubes connected to his skin to pump a chemical called “Titan” into his veins which gave him greater strength.

He was ‘the One Born and Raised in the Darkness’, the legendary  champion fighter at the infamous brutal prison known as St Barbwires prison and was said to have been born and raised in the prison and had spent the last years of his life as a mercenary.

In the cell marked “BRONZE TIGER” there was a huge anthropomorphic tiger wearing brown shorts, a brown vest and metal gloves with claws on them. He was a mercenary that had came from the land of Tigeria who done his contracts with the code of honour that his people held. Trask did not believe it as he was a strong believer in the phrase “No honour among thieves”. Criminal scum had no honour, it was as simple as that.

Then in the cell marked “DEADSHOT” there was a blue furred unicorn stallion in metal armour and a grey ski mask with half of a red visor over his left eye. Connected to his left hoove was a gun weapon and he was known as a marksman assassin with an almost one hundred percent never missing record.

Then finally in the cell marked “RED LANTERN” there was the Task Force X soldier who was about to go onto her first mission and was recently delivered to them by a new ally.

The occupant was a female griffon with a red ring on one of her fingers and was wearing a red and black bodysuit. She was running around her cell spitting blood from her beak. The newest member of Task Force X had already fought the Green Lantern Twilight Sparkle before and the ring she wore was like the one that Twilight Sparkle possesses but with one major difference:

While Twilight’s ring runs on the green energy of willpower, the griffon Gilda’s ring ran on the red energy of rage.

“Are you sure we can control this beast?” Trotter asked looking uncertain and afraid at Gilda the Red Lantern griffon. Trask smirked as he took out a remote control and pressed the button with his hoove causing Gilda to shout in rage as the collar shocked her with electricity.

“Yes of course she can be controlled, all beasts can be with the right equipment.” Laughed Trask as he put remote control away “this monster along with her three fellow soldiers in Task Force X will be able to find and destroy the Green Lantern and then we can go onto destroying the rest of the so called ‘Super Friends of Equestria’ like that Supermare or Wonder Mare for instance.”

“You know that new ally who delivered her to us?” asked Trotter and Trask nodded in reply “how do you think she captured it and why did she gave her to us?”

“She probably wants to help save Equestria from a future threat, the reason doesn’t matter anyway as she has given this new weapon for us.” replied Trask with a dismissive wave of his hoove “after we are done ridding Equestria of those threats we will remove that ring from the griffon and have the thing executed.”

As the two Cadmus officials were talking a yellow unicorn mare was smirking as she was watching this from the shadows. “Some pawns are too easy to manipulate...” the mare thought in her head as she silently laughed.

She then began flying out of the base while on her horn was a glowing yellow ring.
