We are the voice of the people, apostles in the name of justice! We are rising up against those who would oppress the world with military force.’” Imamu slams at the screen and turns it off. “What the hell are they talking about?”

“Indiscriminate bombings acted out by a global terror network. Why isn't that surprising?” Wu asked.

“There's nothing we can do since we’re all the way up here in space.” Graham added. “We’re gonna have to leave this to the guys down there.”

“You don’t know who’s responsible either?” Amani asked the changeling queen.

“If my information network didn’t tell me about this yet then they’re an extremely carful group.” Chrysalis replied. “I already sent out some changelings to investigate, but so far they haven’t found anything.”

“Then until then we’re gonna have to move the Gundams to separate locations across the planet.” Said Lance. “Where’s Amanda?”

“She’s at the balcony near her room, probably cursing.” Hilary answered.

“Why am I not surprised?”

“Those bastards!” Amanda hissed, remembering what happened to her family.

Amanda stares wide eyed at the rubble of where the recreational area used to be. Turning around, she sees at least 100 bodies covered by black blankets, among them her little sister and mother.

“Amanda! Amanda!” Violet suddenly said, snapping Amanda back to reality. “You’re angry. You’re angry.”

“I’m sorry, Violet. Just leave me alone for a while, okay?” Amanda the walks into her room and closes the door, making sure Violet won’t get in. “I’ll shoot them! I’ll shoot them all to hell!”

“I’ve already contacted all of my sources, but they haven’t found any new leads.” Said Chrysalis.

“So we’re still stuck where we started,” Lance said as he review the data Chrysalis managed to obtain.

“I did hear that the worlds top investigative agencies are already looking into this.” Chrysalis added.

“There is a high probability that we’re dealing with an international terror organization, one with many resources to use when needed.” Said Amanda.

“Yes, but there’s still the chance that a country might be supporting it.”

“Guys!” A very familiar and unmistakable voice suddenly said.

“What is it, Cheesy?” Hilary asked as the golden earth pony trots in.

“I just heard about another bombing, this time at a city in Camelia run by Gorn Industries.”

“That means Equestria, Elephantia, Gorn Industries, Alpacatina and now Camelia, the worlds major trading countries have all become targets.” Said Amani.

“If that’s the case then we can surmise that the terrorist group has several operating bases. To make sure we attack them before they have the chance to switch basses we’ll have the Dusk Shine, Death Blades, Sand Dune and Evasive standby at arrange locations around the globe.”

“Are you sure they’re hiding in the castle, Starburst?” Starfall asked his Beloved Nemesis as they approach the castle form the forest.

“That’s where you were when you were still a thief,” she said. “Besides, the castle and the Everfree Forest are the perfect places to hide mobile suits as big as the Gundams.”

As they approach the castle, the ground begins shaking. “What the hell is happening!?” Starfall asked, when the roof of the dinning hall suddenly opens up. The white and purple Gundam then rises form it like a vampier, along with the white, pink and black Gundam next to it.

The trees then begin to rustle in the castle old garden, when the light pink and yellow Gundam suddenly rises into the air and takes off. The other two soon take off as well, but they’re flying in different directions.

Then the midnight blue and white Gundam appears from behind the patio and launches into the skies towards the east. “Star, I take back every doubt I was about to say.” The taken aback Starfall said.

“Maybe you should enjoy yourself before your flight back home.”

Illusion gasps at what his mother just suggested. “How could you suggest such a thing to me during such a time?”

“The national assembly erupted the other day.” Celestia replied. “Apparently the Traditionalists attacked and injured the captain of Canterlot’s Royal Guard, blaming him for the bombing yesterday.”

Night Light is circling the room, his father and sister watching with great worry. “He’s far too much like his mother. Night Light, calm down.” Flash said in a reassuring tone.

“I can’t with all of these terror attacks going on, and Mom talking to the victims' families.” Said Night Light.

“Nighty, calm down. Mom will be fine.” Starburst said, but Night Light is still walking around the room, beginning to wear away the floor. “Are you still shaken up about seeing that train exploded?”

“You should be,” the unmistakable voice of Princess Twilight Sparkle said as she lazily walks into the room.

“Mom! You’re home!” A clearly relived Night Light said.

“You look tired.” Flash noted as Twilight flops into her throne.

“Because I am tired. A potential civil war here in Equestria, terror attacks, and helping Celestia prepare an official statement for the funeral services in a few days. Demonstrations around the world that either denounce or commend the Gundam Meisters. Its like the entire world has fallen into a form of chaos that not even Discord could’ve dreamed of.”

“Well, to be honest…” Night Light tried to say, not wanting to sound offensive. “I always thought it was someone else’s problem.”

“What was?” Star asked her little brother.

“How to put it? Everything that’s been going on in the world,” Nighty admitted, getting a confused look form his parents and sister. “Even after the Gundam Meisters showed up, I never really gave them any thought since there wasn’t any real conflicts here, even arguments between the Modernists and Traditionalists. But then … that train was bombed. When I saw that, I realized that it did matter. It mattered a lot to me. I just couldn’t see it. I didn’t know anything.”

“I know how you feel.” Said Twilight. “When I talked to the victims' families, they were all devastated. I had to uses a spell to calm most of them down. They all didn’t do anything wrong, they just happened to be at the wrong place and the wrong time. And then their lives were over. I can understand why those families hate the Gundams.”

Suddenly, a cup of tea floats down in a multi-colored aura. “Here.” Starfall said as he gives more tea to the others.

“Thank you, Starfall. I need this.” Twilight said as she takes the cup with her own magic. Taking a sip, Twilight sighs in relief.

“To be honest, I’m surprised that the Gundams — or anyone for that matter — didn’t try to eliminate war a long time ago.” Starfall said.

“What do you mean?” Nighty asked.

“Well … As you all know, I didn’t exactly had an easy life after that monster killed my mother.” Starfall stopped to drink some of his tea for a second. “After I escaped that zony, I saw how twisted the world was, and that was way before Gorn Industries appeared.”

“I know.” Said Twilight. “And to be honest, I feel like me and the others could’ve done better.”

“What do you mean?” Flash asked.

“Until now, me, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie, AJ, Fluttershy, Celestia, Cadence and Luna only focused on ensuring peace and harmony here in Equestria.” Twilight admitted. “We never bothered to spread that harmony elsewhere outside of Equestria. Even when Celestia decided to aid our allies in their problems, it was done to ensure the peace and harmony of Equestria. I guess we just wanted to make an example of what harmony was, by ignoring the rest of the world.”

“Even if someone tried to do so long ago, it seems impossible to ride the world of war,” Starburst said.

“Something on your mind?” Flash asked his daughter.

“Well … Earlier today, me and Starfall went to the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, and…” Starburst stopped in mid-sentence, not sure how to put it. Luckily, Starfall knew how.

“We saw four of the Gundams take off form there.” The red, dragon-eyed colt said.

“Really?” Nighty asked.

“They’ve probably been using it as a base for a while now.” Starburst continued. “We saw them take off somewhere, but we didn’t go into the castle itself. We didn’t know what was in there, so we decided to wait and tell you when we got the chance.”

“What do you think they’re up to?” Nighty asked.

Lance observes the city from up in the mountains, inside the now invisible Dusk Shine. He just sits there, thinking about why Earth and Terra are so similar to each other. Cities that either have the same or similar names. The odds are far to great to be by chance. We’re the two worlds in contact with each other once? And if so, how?

He stays like that for some time, at least a few hours, thinking about why his old home and this planet are so similar. Looking at the clock, the local time is now 0800 hours. “I’ve been thinking too much.”

Suddenly his heat detector goes off, showing abnormal reading in Riyadh. “A heat source? Its close to where we thought another attack might take place.” Lance then gets a live video feed from where the heat source is, and sees a smoking bus and several dead bodies around. “Terrorists!” He hissed. His comlink then begins to beep. “Lance here.”

“Lance, I assume you already know about the new bombing?” Chrysalis asked.

“Indeed.”

“Well, while reviewing the security footage we saw a suspicious unicorn leave the sight of the bombing. He was seen escaping in a dark brown convertible with red trimmings. Can you look into it?”

“Roger. I’ll head to the site.” Lance opens the hatch of the Dusk Shine and steps out. Using his amulet he takes on his usual unicorn disguise, although he still has his purple leather jacket on. He then runs towards the city.

“Is it true that there was a terrorist attack nearby?” Illusion asked guard as he’s escorted to a limousine.

“Yes. It’s been confirmed, sir.”

“I would like to see the site of the terror attack, if that’s not too much trouble?”

“Sure. It’s not too out of the way.” The guard said as Illusion takes his seat in the limo.

Riyadh business district

Lance, ridding on a rental motorcycle, arrives at the site of the bombing. Police and firefighters are already doing everything they can to put out the blaze and find any survivors. Looking around, he sees no convertible cars that match the description he was given.

Suddenly the screeching of tires draws his attention to a nearby alleyway. Even though his goggles give everything a violet hue to what Lance sees, he can tell that the source of the screech is a dark brown convertible with red trimmings making a sharp turn as it speeds away from the site, right into the oncoming traffic. “Got him!”

Illusion’s limo

They’re close to the site of the bombing. The smoke is still visible. “It must’ve caused one hell of a fire.” Illusion thought out loud.

“What the!?” The driver yelled as a dark brown convertible with red trimmings nearly hits the limo. It screeches by the limo, with Illusion only getting a second to look at the driver.

Suddenly a unicorn on a motorcycle drives by. Even though he only saw his face for a split-second, Illusion intently recognizes the motorcyclist. “Was that…?”

After the suspect’s car enters the other lane, Lance’s rental bike catches up with it easily as he no longer is avoiding any oncoming cars. Driving up to the passengers side, a gun extends outwards from his jacket into his right hand.

He fires at the car, but the bullets all bounce off of the windows. “Bullet proof?” The suspect accelerates and then makes a sharp u-turn, forcing Lance to stop. In seconds the car is gone.

Suddenly a patrol car, it’s sirens at full blast, drives up to Lance. “Hey! What are you doing?” The office asked, forcing Lance to hide the gun quickly before raising his ‘hoofs’. “What do you think you were just doing, sonny?” The office asked, a gun pointed at Lance.

Lance replies with an emotionless: “Nothing.”

“Okay, let’s see some ID.” The office said as he inches closer to Lance, but he doesn’t do anything. “Hey, what’s wrong? Get your ID out now!”

The officer’s gun is now a meter away from Lance’s head, but a limo then drives up. A guard then exits and confronts the officer. “Excuse me but you should know that this colt here is with us.”

“Who are you?”

“This is who we are.” The guard said as he shows him the symbol of Equestria’s royal family.

“Oh! Sorry sir.” The officer said as he enters his patrol car. A window in the back seat of the limo lowers, and Lance sees Prince Illusion.

“I just wanted to help somepony from Equestria, is all.” Illusion replied. “You are an Equestrian, right?”

“Not really. I rather not say where I’m from.”

“I see, its personal.” Illusion scoffed as he looks into Lance’s eyes. “Why are you here, Lance? The last time I saw you, you were in Ponyville getting acquainted with Crys’ friends, nearly two months ago.”

“Crys?” A clearly confused Lance repeated.

“Oh! That’s what I call my marefriend, Crystal Clarity. It’s kinda like how she’s the only one who calls me ‘Lulu’. Anyway, are you here on a sightseeing trip?” Illusion asked.

“Something like that. Why are you here, Prince?”

“Diplomacy?” Lance asked.

Taking his question to heart, the young prince replies by saying; “Yes. As I’m sure you know, Lance, Equestria has split into the Modernist and Traditionalists. The country is sinking deeper into utter chaos. Because of my mother’s recent decisions, many ponies have begun to think that she’s abandon the traditions that Equestria has held for over a 1000 years, mainly protecting the peace and harmony within the country. Many even pointed to my mother’s and father’s marriage and me as more reasons as to why she ‘allegedly’ abandon them.” Illusion spat when he said that. “But the Modernists, led by Princess Twilight and Cadence, see her decisions as acts of love and another way to help spread the harmony in Equestria to other countries. But the ponies who feel abandon, now called the Traditionalists, aren’t listening to them anymore. Unless the two sides reconcile, that group will step in.”

“The Gundam Meisters.”

“Yes. They’re nothing but a group of fanatics, thinking that they can stop war with force. Sure, war isn’t right … but the reality is that ponies and other races are losing their lives in their unilateral interventions. Entire countries have had their economies ruined. Do those guys think they Faust, or some other god?”

“People die in wars, too.”

“I’m only saying that their interventions are too arbitrary. My mother taught me that fighting is not the best solution. Without holding talks or looking into peaceful solutions, all they’re doing is restraining others with the pressure of violence and that’s not right.”

“While talks are held, people die.” Lance said, some anger in his voice.

“Still-!”

“My homeland was destroyed by the Gorns because all talks failed! And whats more, my faith in my god was shattered! Never to be repaired!” Lance hissed.

“R-Really? Gorn Industries did that?” A disbelieving Illusion said. “But, as you said, your home and Gorn Industries sought a peaceful solution and-”

“Meanwhile, people died!” Lance was now casting a death glare at Illusion.

Whoa! He’s more intimidating then Starburst and Crys put together! “Lance, were you … fighting? How long ago was this?”

“Over a thousand years ago.”

“What!?” Gasped the shocked Illusion. “Gorn Industries has only been around for 5 years, and you’re only 26. Are … you really an alicorn? And how old is Gorn Industries? How could you have been fighting?”

“Gorn Industries is really a front, Illusion.” Lance replied. “They’re planning to first conquer, then enslaved, and finally drain Terra dry of resources.” Illusion gasps as he hears this. “And for your last question, I’ve been fighting them for years. And I’m still fighting. Against anyone who would desecrate this beautiful jewel called ‘Terra’ in the vastness of space. You should know as you nearly took me down near Aquania once.”

“I did?” Illusion asked, when his already wide eyes grow even wider. “Wait! You’re … a…?”

“That’s right! I am really a human from the planet Earth. And I am the meister of the Gundam Dusk Shine!” Illusion is just far too shock to even come up with a response. Lance turns around and begins to walk towards his motorcycle. He gets on and places his goggles over his eyes, but as he’s about to put on the helmet, he looks over to Illusion, still in shock. “If the conflict in Equestria doesn’t end soon, then we will intervene!” Lance then leaves, while Illusion can only stare as he loses sight of the apparent human.

“A … Human? How?”

“Why? By the time the royal guard would be deployed, they would be gone already.” Supernova pointed out.

“Well, because of our limited jurisdiction we can’t attack their basses directly.” The head of the EIA answered. “But the group we intend to receive that info is a little … different.”

It explodes in a fireball as the ship begins to sink.

Suddenly, just as he’s about to leave, giant claws burst out from the ships cargo hold and grabs the Dusk Shine’s legs. “What the hell!?” He asked before he’s pulled under, through the ship and into the water. Looking at his assailant, he see’s a giant octopus/crab hybrid. Its at least 60 meters long. Near it, there are several sea ponies, many of which carrying a weapon of some kind.

“Is that a kraken? How many mythological beasts are real on this planet?” Lance asked as he’s pulled towards the krakens beak. Quickly, he cuts off the claws of the beast and moves back. The kraken cries out in pain as the sea ponies fire many grenades and missiles at the Dusk Shine.

Even though they don’t do much, Lance get’s very angry. With the QN Buster Riffle at full power, he fires into the kraken’s mouth. The beast begins to expand in certain areas, while it’s armor begins to crack. After a few tense seconds, the kraken explodes, a giant pillar of blood, exoskeleton armor and flesh rain down for several meters in every direction.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you. Love you.”

“Love you.” Claire hangs up, Illusion following son after. Since he still has abut 13 more hours until they reach Equestria, Illusion gets up to go to his room to get some sleep. But he’s still wondering if what Lance said was true. And if so, why would he tell him? None of this doesn’t make any se-

“Hey, look! A mobile fighter!” A passenger suddenly called out.

Looking to where he’s pouting, next to the blimp on the port side, at about 100 feet away, there is a mobile fighter. The nose appears to have a blaster of some sort installed into it. Below it is a large, pointed blade with a raspberry colored outlining. The wings are similar to a birds, but lavender and white in color and lacking the feathers. The main body is midnight blue, with red and yellow lines along the vents and guns. The thrusters are emitting a strange, moderate cobalt blue colored light as well.

Illusion gasps in shock when he recognizes the machine. “Which country is it from?” Someone asked.

“It’s white … That’s a Gundam!”

All of the passengers move to the port side windows to get a better look, particularly the younglings. “Gundam.” Escaped from Illusions lips. Is this the Gundam Lance pilots, the Dusk Shine?
