Blitz hums away as he messes with his datapad on anything coming up. "Not much orders right now. I still got time." He mused to himself as Spike sat right by him and doing his own work.

"Yeah, pretty boring too." Spike said messing with his own datapad.

"You know you don't need to hang around here." Blitz says looking at the dragon in his room.

Spike raises an eyebrow to him. "The girls wanted to check around town so I decided to come here so I can get some of the work done around here."

Blitz sighs before looking around his room in the crystal castle.

Spike shakes his head a bit. "So…how was your birthday?"

"It's…weird. I haven't celebrated it in decades." Blitz says.

Spike chuckles. "You celebrated?" He asks trying to hide his face behind his pad.

"No. For a few years, I forgot I even had one." Blitz says as somepony stirred in Blitz's bed. "You doing ok Ahsoka?"

Ahsoka yawns as she sits up in bed. "Yeah, had too much punch I think. What did that pink pony put in?" She asks looking to him.

"That was alcoholic so you remember what happened last night?" Blitz asks as the mare got out of bed.

Ahsoka groans as she shakes her head. "Not really." She said rubbing her head.

"Come here." Blitz says pulling up a chair beside her.

Ahsoka groans as she keeps rubbing her head. "I am never drinking again."

"You sure, you got to sleep with me." Blitz teases.

Ahsoka looks shocked at him. "What?!"

"Yeah, you held me like a foal holds their favorite stuff animal." Blitz says letting her lean on him.

Ahsoka gulps. "We didn't…well…you know…?"

"You're still a virgin." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs in relief. "Thank goodness. So what's going on now?"

"Well just looking a few things over. So you told the rest of the girls?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka blinks. "Told what?"

Blitz wraps his tail around hers. "About your decision regarding me."

Ahsoka rubs her head. "What decision?"

"Do I need to get you a ring to remind you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka keeps thinking back before going wide eyed. "Oh, that. Not yet."

"So who you going to tell first? Me mum?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "It's only right. She is your mother."

"Right, good luck. Me mum is just as tough, if not tougher, than me when it comes to this." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and tries to get up. "Sure. Just make sure you can help explain if needed later." She said stretching.

"Now is as good as ever." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and walks out. "I'll meet you later."

"Nope." Blitz says picking her up with his magic.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow and looks back at him. "Care to let go?"

"To me mum." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns before trying to get out his magical grip. "Let me go."

"Oh you will go in there alone." Blitz says.

"Are you mad?" Applejack asks as she and Blitz stood outside a door. "Sending her in there alone with a pirate manic?"

"Oh I'm sorry, you want to go in there and spend some time with your mother-in-law?" Blitz asks.

Applejack keeps frowning at him. "Blitz, she will kill her."

"I haven't heard screaming or a struggle yet. It's all quiet…too quiet." Blitz says.

Applejack crosses her hooves. "Told ya."

Blitz peaked inside before closing the door back and when he turned around to face Applejack, she could tell he was barely containing laughter.

"What?" Applejack asks confused.

"Mum is making her have tea with her." Blitz says.

Applejack stares at him before starting to snicker and trying to hold her laughter behind her hooves.

"Go in there and have some tea Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps snickering as she tries to walk inside and closes the door behind her and he could hear her snickering turning louder. "Oh, I wish I had a camera right now." He mused to himself. Blitz waited for nearly an hour before the door opened again and out walked Ahsoka.

Ahsoka sighs as she looks to him. "We're good." She said smiling.

"So how did you like her?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "She's alright. I don't know what the others are talking about."

"Oh they are scared of her especially after she broke that minotaur's back." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Minotaur huh?"

Blitz pulled up an image for her.

Ahsoka blinks at the sight of Mary standing atop a Minotaur. "Wow. She could pass for a Jedi."

"You kidding, that would be your master next." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, Anakin would not like that."

"So what did you three talk about?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Just things."

"Oh, so what were they?" Blitz asks smirking.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Nope. She told me not to tell."

"Ok…so how long did she estimate till you are with child?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks a bit worried. "I don't know. It's hard to tell right now."

"Oh?" Blitz asks knowing he had gotten her.

Ahsoka frowns and blushes at him. "Hey!"

"Yes master Tano." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "She was right. You do pull fast ones that would bother us."

"I take after me mum who pulled tea on you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Come on. Let's get something to eat." She said walking away.

"So going to try the vegetarian diet or get Twi to turn you back to eat meat?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka thinks on that. "I don't yet on that. Maybe a bit of vegetarian for a bit and then I'll see."

"Ok, but just so you know, don't eat peppers or spicy food. It usually has the effect of stimulating either heat or makes it to where we need to cool off like in a bath of cold water." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "I know what peppers are."

"Oh, then you know there is over six hundred different kinds on this planet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Six hundred?!" She asks surprised.

"Yep, so keep your eyes out. Pinkie might try and slip one in on you." Blitz warns.

Ahsoka takes a quick look around. "You sure?"

"She has done it before. Ask Daring and Applejack, found them making out once." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blinks. "What?" She asks stopping.

"I am very serious. They then tackled me when they noticed me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blinks again. "Your family is weird."

"And you are now a part of it, aren't you my wife?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka stares at him. "Yeah and I'm worried."

"Oh, what is wrong? Afraid you're not the best examples for the foals?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks down a bit. "Maybe. Look at me. I'm a Jedi. What can I teach that you can't?"

"Well let's see. How to look good for one." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka looks herself over. "Um…look good?"

"Yes, you are quite attractive whether you are a pony or a Togruta." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blushes and looks away a bit. "Really?"

"Yeah." Blitz says. Ahsoka now seeing he was flirting with her to cheer her up.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him. "I love you too."

"Ah, there is my jedi master…by the way, was completely serious about the peppers and what Pinkie did." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "With your life, I don't doubt it."

"So watch what you eat or you may end up with a foal soon enough." Blitz warns.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes and drags him along. "Come on you silly stallion. We have to eat."

"Oh look who is dragging who now." Blitz says smirking before stroking Ahsoka's flank once.

Ahsoka jumps a bit. "Blitz." She hissed as she glares at him.

"I underestimated you. Your flank is very toned like a supermodel." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blushes heavily. "I…I am not."

"I know when I feel it Ahsoka and it's nothing to be embarrassed about." Blitz says before kissing her.

Ahsoka squeaks as she just stands there before kissing back and then goes wide eyed and pushes him off. "How do you know what a supermodel butt feels like?" She asks raising an eyebrow.

"Because it's your flank." Blitz says being as corny as he could.

Ahsoka keeps her eyebrow raised. "Blitz, you know I'm not a supermodel. So where did you get that idea?"

"Still have a lot to learn if you can't see I am trying to shamelessly compliment you." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she keeps walking. "Now I got a crazy flirt on my ass."

"No, you got a loving husband trying to flatter you and boast your confidence." Blitz corrects.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Blitz, that doesn't work on me."

"Oh, then why are you blushing?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka bonks his head. "Shut up."

"Oh see? You will be a good mother." Blitz says hugging her.

Ahsoka stares at him dragging off of her before smiling. "Yeah, I may will be."

Twilight was reading Arcane a story that she wrote about a lone ranger. "It was a little past noon when both the ranger and the outlaw meet at the center of town."

Arcane smiles as he leans in. "And?" He asks excited.

"They both stared at each other as the townspeople watched from the windows in their homes. Many held their breaths as they thought the ranger was about to meet his end."

Arcane gasps as he leans in more. "What happened?" He asks in wonder.

"The rest of you want to hear?" Twilight asks looking at the rest of the foals and Pinkie listening.

"Mmh mmm." They all hummed as they nod.

"Pinkie, use your words." Twilight scolds.

Pinkie giggles and hugs Sunshine. "Tell us! Tell us!"

"The two kept watching as a tumbleweed rolled in between them before they drew. A loud bang was heard and a few seconds passed with no noise, but the wind." Twilight reads.

They all held their breath as they try to contain themselves. "Who falls?" Azure asks excited.

"Then the outlaw fell. He had not even managed to pull his gun from the holster." Twilight said.

"Yay!" They all cheer as some of them bounce around with Pinkie and Sunshine leading the charge.

"Now dogpile on the reader!" Pinkie calls.

Twilight yells out as she was knocked down by the foal wave and held down. "Help, I'm drowning!"

A whistle was then heard. "Surgere." Applejack calls.

Surgere coos as she brings her head up from the pile and jumps out and goes to her.

"There you are." Applejack says picking her daughter up.

Twilight yells out from under the pile of foals. "Help me!" She yells out reaching for her.

"Liberum!" Rarity calls.

Liberum coos as he lifts his head out of the pile and jumps out and rushes to her and hugs her leg.

"Oh you are filthy. Time for a bath." Rarity says.

Applejack chuckles. "Mind if we join you?"

"Be my guest." Rarity says.

"Blast, Spectrum, where are you?" Rainbow's voice calls from the hallway.

They both pop their heads up before running to where her voice came from.

"Oh there you are!" Rainbow calls before they heard laughing.

Twilight sighs as she just lays there. "Okay, time for you guys to get to your mommies."

"No, no, you are doing well." Spitfire says laying on the couch nearby.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Can you tell your son to get off of me?"

"Sunrise, come lay with mommy." Spitfire says sighing.

"Ma ma." He said running up to her.

Spitfire smiles seeing her son at the foot of the couch and lowers a wing before picking him up with it.

Sunrise giggles and hugs her. "Ma ma."

"Yeah, you fiery little thing." Spitfire says smiling.

Sunrise laughs and nuzzles her.

"So how is Fleetfoot doing feeding her daughter?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire hums. "Going well. She's really happy that she got her and Blitz is here with her. Though now she is hoping Blitz can give her some stuffed animals."

"Oh, she speaking now?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire chuckles. "Somewhat."

"Ok, so you going to teach Sunrise to swim like Dusk is doing?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yep, everypony is getting a lesson too. Just because you can use magic and fly is no excuse to skip swimming lessons."

"So how is Roaring Tide doing?" Twilight asks.

"Swimming like a fish like her mom." Spitfire says.

Twilight chuckles. "How fast?"

"Not very much. She is just happy to be in the pool." Spitfire says.

Twilight smiles. "Just like her mother. I wonder what the first few days of birth were like. A storm on a ship? That's amazing."

"Yeah and Mary helped deliver her." Spitfire says.

Twilight nods as she picks up Arcane. "The great things we have gone through and have just because of Blitz finding us."

"Go Surprise!" Pinkie calls before Twilight yelped from something biting her tail.

Twilight lifts her tail up and sees Sunshine biting into it and growling. "Okay." She said slightly confused.

"Good girl. You surprised her." Pinkie says.

Surprise hums as she raises a hoof.

"Sh." Spitfire says wrapping a wing around him.

Sunrise yawns as he closes his eyes against her.

"Good boy." Spitfire says.

Sunrise yawns as he leans against her and wraps his wings around himself and rests against her.

"So you heard?" Twilight asks after glaring at Pinkie telling her to get Surprise off her.

Spitfire hums and looks to her. "What about?"

"Mary hasn't informed you?" Twilight asks and before Spitfire could reply she got a message from Mary to meet her in her room for tea.

Spitfire hums as she got up. "I see. I'll place little Sunrise in bed and then I'll see her." She said getting up and leaving.

"Take him with you and just lay him on her bed." Twilight calls after her.

Spitfire just mumbles behind her. "Yeah, yeah."

"Now Arcane, are you hungry?" Twilight asks.

Arcane nods. "Yep."

"Who is coming to the kitchen with me?" Twilight asks.

Arcane cheers with Azure. "We are." They cheered.

"That is right. Come on you two." Twilight says.

They both cheer as they follow her as the other foals start to play with each other.

"Who wants…Blitz, Ahsoka?" Twilight asks confused.

They both wave. "Hi Twilight." Blitz said going over to her.

"So how is she adjusting?" Twilight asks not looking Ahsoka in the eyes.

Blitz smiles as he looks over to Ahsoka who was playing around with Azure. "Very well. I think in a month's time; she will be like everypony here."

"You mean like us or the foals?" Twilight asks cheekily.

Blitz chuckles. "Maybe a bit of both. For now, we are getting some food. You coming?"

"As long as there are no peppers." Twilight says.

Blitz grins. "Great. Let's go." He said lifting Arcane onto his back with magic.

"Come on you." Ahsoka says picking up Azure.

Twilight smiles as Azure cheers and gets placed on Ahsoka's back. "She's a good mare."

"Feel bad?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, just happy there is another one that can make you happy."

"And trying not to think of what you did to her?" Blitz whispers to her.

Twilight sighs as she looks away. "Yeah." She said quietly.

"Good girl." Blitz says petting her.

Twilight purrs sadly.

"Arcane, can you pet your mom?" Blitz asks.

Arcane smiles and jumps onto Twilight's back and starts petting her head. "There there."

"Better?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles and leans against him. "Yeah."

"Who is a good boy?" Blitz asks.

Arcane laughs. "Me." He cheers.

"That's right my son." Blitz says ruffling his mane.

Twilight smiles as Arcane chuckles and tries to hug Twilight.

"Ok you two, come on. Let's get something to eat." Twilight says.

Blitz smiles as he wraps a hoof around her. "Yeah, let's."

"Ok you two, what do you want on your sandwiches?" Twilight asks.

The foals voice their choices as Ahsoka stares at and pokes her food.

"Checking it for peppers?" Blitz asks.

"More or less." Ahsoka said lifting a piece.

Blitz smiles as he watches Twilight give the foals their sandwiches.

Twilight sighs as she looks to them eating away. "How much longer?"

"Shh you. I won't think about that." Blitz says booping her nose.

Twilight looks sadly to him. "Blitz, how long?"

"Shh and help Ahsoka look for peppers as you know how Pinkie is." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and goes over to Ahsoka and helps find some big ones hiding in her food.

Blitz, seeing this, casts a sideways glance at the door and sees a flash of pink.

Twilight smiles as she places the peppers on the table. "Oh, hot peppers." Arcane said grabbing one and placing it into his sandwich.

"No Arcane, that will burn you." Twilight says taking it away.

Arcane whines and slouches. "Aw."

"Your mother is just taking care of you Arcane. That was meant to be a prank on your new stepmother Ahsoka here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka eyes the peppers. "Yeah…I don't want those."

"New step mother?" Azure asks.

"That's right son." Blitz says picking him up and holding him up in front of Ahsoka's face.

Ahsoka smiles and nuzzles him a bit. "Yep, new mother."

Azure snickers at this before poking his nose to hers.

Ahsoka chuckles and holds Azure and hugs him. "Aw, you are a cute one."

"Azure?" Octavia's voice is heard.

"Octy!" Blitz calls.

Octavia steps around the corner and stops at the sight of Ahsoka holding Azure. "Give me a second."

"Is it time for Azure to get his daily dose?" Blitz asks.

Octavia nods. "Yes. Azure, come on. Feeding time."

"Don't forget his sandwich." Twilight says.

Azure laughs as he jumps out of Ahsoka's hooves and grabs his sandwich and runs to Octavia and jumps on her back. "Let's go."

"What do you mean daily dose? Is he on medicine?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz shakes his head. "No, for a lack of a better term, he's a vampire."

"I'm sorry, is that a term? I am not familiar with your species?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz sighs and brings out a book on creatures. "Here, vampires." He said turning to the page.

"...you're kidding, right?" Ahsoka asks before Blitz took her to see Azure and Octavia drinking blood packs.

Ahsoka blinks. "You have to be…"

"Nope." Blitz says as Vinyl walks up. "Hey sexy, how is little Ice Blossom?"

Vinyl smiles. "Going well. She's just lazing away on a couch."

"Oh and what are you doing my Dhampiresa?" Blitz asks.

"Dhampiresa?" Ahsoka asks.

"Another way to say half vampire female." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blinks before they all hear a groan and looks to the door. "Blitz?" Twilight's voice calls as she leans on a doorway. "I think another egg is coming."

"Vinyl, please take care of Ahsoka here. I will be back soon." Blitz says hurrying to Twilight.

Vinyl just smirks at Ahsoka, letting her teeth show.

Ahsoka blinks and backs away a few steps from her. "Back off."

Vinyl only grins.

Twilight groans out loud as she squeezes Blitz's hoof too hard. "Why is this the hardest?!" She yelled as the broodmothers help her out.

Blitz just smiles as he tries to ignore his bones breaking. "The price of a new life." He said petting her to ease the pain.

Twilight hisses at him as she glares. "You are going to pay for this!"

Blitz just smiles all the while and pets her head. "It's okay hun. It will be over soon."

A changeling chitters. "One more push. Give it a big one."

Blitz gets stood shocked still as he hears her ear piercing shriek and destroys a few windows as well. "Okay, worst part." He said after she stops and she just lays there on the bed panting.

Twilight gulps as she looks ahead. "How's…the egg?"

The changelings look to her before lifting up a green egg. "A good lay." One said giving Blitz the egg.

"Am I allowed to hold the egg? I thought that the changelings keep the males from them?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles faintly. "Changing the rules. You are the father and it is only right."

"How does one hold an egg?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles tiredly as a changeling has him sit down and sets the egg in his lap so it was facing upward and he had his hooves wrapped around it, making sure it wasn't going anywhere. "Set it next to the queen once you are ready to rest." The changeling said before walking away with the rest to give them the room.

"So…um, how long till it hatches?" Blitz asks unsure.

Twilight sighs as she turns on her side to him. "Usually a week or two for normal changelings. Arcane took at least a week and a half."

"Oh…how long were you pregnant again?" Blitz asks sounding like he was working out an equation.

Twilight hums as she thinks on that. "Around the usual nine months. It's just I lay the egg a bit early."

"Should we be concerned?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, Arcane had the same thing. It seems it's normal."

"You're sure?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Only time will tell. But the egg survived, so our child will live too. Just be happy we have ours here with us."

Blitz smiles before giving her the egg.

Twilight smiles and takes the egg and holds it close to her. "Got any ideas for names?" She asks wrapping herself and the egg with her wings.

"No ideas." Blitz admits.

Twilight hums as she closes her eyes. "Then we'll do it tomorrow."

Blitz covers them both with a blanket and notices the windows were either already repaired or replaced. He sees a changeling putting a sealant on a window and it waves back before going back to sealing the edges.

Blitz blinks before sighing and lays his head down next to them. "Goodnight guys."

Twilight smiles and pecks his nose.

"I will see you soon my lovely." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and slides closer to him. "I doubt you would be here for his or her birth so I hope you can be on call like last time."

"Nope." Blitz says poking her nose.

Twilight looks to him. "You won't be on call?"

"Nope, I am right here." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and nuzzles him. "I love you Blitzy."

"Love you too. Now sleep." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and curls up next to him and actually hisses in her sleep next to snores. Blitz chuckles quietly before putting his head next to her and closes his eyes and sleeps away with her.

"So Daring, what am I interrupting?" Blitz asks looking at her.

Daring smiles as he sees a huge maze that looks like a temple in the underground area of the castle. "Practicing."

"Oh?" Blitz asks before starting to massage her wings.

Daring hums and nods. "Yeah, but not for me so you should be massaging our colt. This is for her."

"Oh, you sure you want me to stop?" Blitz asks kissing her wing.

Daring moans and leans against him. "Nah. Keep going."

"Ok." Blitz says as they watch little Venator chase a ball through the maze.

Daring sighs in relief and looks to Venator still dodging the paper mache and styrofoam traps and kicks that keep him from getting the ball. "He will be a good little colt, won't he?"

"Yes." Blitz says getting Daring to take her eyes off of him and get hit in the head with the ball.

"Ball!" Venator calls running after the ball.

Daring groans as she rubs her head and kicks the ball back into the maze. "After it."

"Ball!" Venator calls catching it.

Blitz chuckles. "I think he just became Pinkie."

"No, take a look. A wall fell down." Daring says.

Blitz sighs. "Maybe I should get some real walls while having kid traps and pitfalls."

"No, I will not let my little boy get hurt." Daring says sounding like a protective mother as she held her foal.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. "Don't worry. It will just be sturdier."

"Mine." Daring says giving Venator the ball.

Venator laughs and hugs the ball while nuzzling Daring.

"Oh, look who's a good mother and son." Blitz says.

Daring rolls her eyes. "Just be happy that I am training him."

"Oh, who is a cute little explorer?" Blitz says.

Venator laughs and holds out the ball for him.

"No, I don't want the ball son. I want to tickle you." Blitz says.

Venator laughs as he jumps out of Daring's hooves and runs off while Daring tries to hold Blitz back. "No way."

"Oh, then I will get you." Blitz says turning and starts tickling Daring.

Daring laughs as she tries to hold him off. "Stop!"

"Never!" Blitz says getting her good.

Daring keeps laughing as she tries to hold him back as Venator looks at them from the side and runs off into the maze again.

"I win." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Daring pants in exhaustion as she tries to catch her breath and looks to him. "I love you."

"Same here. So has Pinkie been trying to sneak in peppers into your girls' food lately?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "What the heck is wrong with her?"

"I think she has a list for that." Blitz jokes.

Daring rolls her eyes. "Can you make sure she doesn't again?"

"I can't guarantee it. Speaking of which, do you remember last time you and Jackie ate one?" Blitz asks.

Daring hums as she puts a hoof to her chin. "Not really. Ask Applejack."

"Oh, you don't remember making out with her and jumping me when I entered the room?" Blitz asks.

Daring blushes and hits his chest. "Shut up."

"So you remember the next morning?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

Daring shakes her head. "Not really."

"Oh, let me jog your memory. You were very sore." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Daring blushes heavily. "Don't say anything else." She said glaring.

"And how you were so tender and loving as I made you breakfast and served it to you in bed." Blitz adds.

Daring keeps blushing. "Quiet." She said looking to Venator still going through the maze.

"And how we spent all day at the beach with me holding you as Venator played in the water splashing around." Blitz says picking her up and holding her.

Daring kept a heavy blush on her face. "Um…yeah…um…did we do anything there?"

"No, we just enjoyed the day and you wore your A.K. Yearling outfit." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "I didn't want much to know I was there."

"You didn't, now can you explain something to me?" Blitz asks.

Daring hums as she leans against him. "What?"

Blitz played a video of her running through a tomb.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "What about it?"

Blitz says nothing as they continue to watch till Ahuizotl had captured her and tied her to the alter. "Seriously, how many times is that?" Blitz asks.

Daring chuckles nervously and rubs the back of her head. "Yeah, we have a system."

"Uh huh." Blitz says as Ahuizotl does his rant until a voice calls out. "Here mommy!" And an object was thrown that helped free her.

Daring blushes as Venator comes into the screen. "Yeah, that…well…"

"Mommy?" Ahuizotl asks confused as Daring escaped, picking up Venator along the way.

Daring coughs and looks away. "I can explain that."

"Oh? Do tell." Blitz says.

Daring chuckles nervously. "Well…you see…Venator! Run away!" She calls into the maze.

"Too bad you can't." Blitz says not letting her out of his grip.

Daring groans as she tries to get out of his grip. "Let me go."

"Nope, you will explain it to me Daring and I have informed the others. Mum, you mind playing with Venator?" Blitz calls.

"Got him." Mary said walking past while holding Venator in her hooves.

"Venator, you get to play with grandma for a bit." Blitz says.

"And we are playing pirates." Mary says.

Venator cheers as he still hangs onto his ball.

"Now it is just me and you." Blitz says.

Daring gulps as she keeps trying to get out of his grip. "Um…let me go."

"Nope, now explain or no nights for you for a month." Blitz says.

Daring groans. "Training."

"And the book?" Blitz asks.

Daring groans again. "Add on for the advancement for the book series."

"You wrote it already?" Blitz asks.

Daring shakes her head. "No, about a fourth away from being done."

Blitz blinks a few times. "So?" Blitz asks.

Daring sighs. "Adding him in already and still working on the going home part."

"And you going to mention who the father is or going to keep that a mystery and going to mention what happened to Southern Cross or did you write that in the last one?" Blitz asks.

Daring giggles nervously. "More like had an adult book full that part in."

"I mean; did you mention that you got married or was that a one-night stand sort of deal in the books?" Blitz asks.

Daring pushes her hooves together. "Maybe a return soon."

"So did you or didn't mention the marriage?" Blitz asks.

Daring hums. "Should I tell or shouldn't?"

"I will leave it up to you silly writer." Blitz says before kissing her collarbone.

Daring moans and holds him against her. "You bastard."

"I have been told and so leaving it up to you. Will you reveal who the father is?" Blitz asks.

Daring groans and tries to stop him for a bit. "Maybe."

"Oh, not going to do the suspense?" Blitz asks laying beside her.

Daring grins or rather tries to. "I will or it won't be a story."

"Ok, so for telling the truth, you know what you get?" Blitz asks.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "What?"

"Bed." Blitz whispers to her before teleporting them away.

"So master Tano, how did you like spending time with the vampires?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka steps closer to him. "Don't leave me alone like that again."

"Oh, but you are so cute." Vinyl says laying her head on Ahsoka's back.

Ahsoka jumps a bit and stays still. "She's crazy." She whispers to him.

"Yeah, she is." Blitz says smiling at Vinyl.

"Oh, you say such sweet things about me." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah and do them."

"Very true." Vinyl says.

"Also, should we mention there are three of you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka blinks and looks to him. "Excuse me?!"

"Vinyl, call the rest." Blitz requests.

Vinyl grins. "Oh this will be fun." She said walking off for a bit.

Blitz smirks before the two turn into their humanoid form thanks to Twilight showing Arcane some magic.

Ahsoka sighs as she moves around a bit. "A bit better." She said in her humanoid body.

"Oh?" Blitz asks spinning her into his arms with a dance move.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes amused at his tactics. "Yep, they were right. You are insatiable."

"Oh look who is coming our way." Blitz says seeing the three Vinyls coming their way.

Ahsoka stops and blinks at the sight. "Um…"

"As you can see, two are pregnant." Blitz says picking the three up with the only one not pregnant Vinyl on his head.

S. Vinyl chuckles. "Yeah. We are amazing with tricking others when they try and figure us out." She said trying to groom Blitz's head.

"Hey, this is my spot." Vinyl says as E. Vinyl listens to her headset happily in his arms with S. Vinyl.

Ahsoka keeps staring at them. "Um…" She drones.

"Oh girls, aren't you being a little rude to Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

They all shrug and wave. "Hey Ahsoka." They all said in unison.

"This can't be real." Ahsoka says.

Blitz chuckles. "It's real. Had to be forced to bring two of them back here. But, they are family and my wives and I love them very much. Right girls?" He asks with a goofy grin.

"He did make us pregnant." S. Vinyl says as she and E. Vinyl seemed to have a silent conversation.

Ahsoka slowly shakes her head at the sight. "So one girl wasn't enough so you went to have two more?"

"That is a long story." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looked unconvinced. "Uh huh."

"It involves interdimensional travel…speaking of which, I wonder if that version of ourselves met?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka just looked confused. "What?"

"What I said." Blitz says before both E. Vinyl and S. Vinyl nod to each other.

Ahsoka scratches her head in confusion. "What?"

"Blitz, we want you to scratch us." S. Vinyl says.

Blitz sighs and sits down somewhere before setting them down and starting to scratch their heads.

"Oh yeah, that feels great." S. Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles and pulls them in closer. "How does that feel?"

E. Vinyl just smiled.

"Is she mute?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz grins. "Nah, she just likes playing around."

"Though she only speaks when she wants to." S. Vinyl says.

E. Vinyl gives a salute and keeps bobbing her head to her music.

"Twi, you mind?" Vinyl asks before she was turned into a humanoid form.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms. "And now you are going to be hogging him?"

"What, you want in on it, being his wife as well?" Vinyl asks.

Ahsoka huffs and looks away. "Yeah right."

"Oh Blitzy. I think someone is jealous." Vinyl teases.

Blitz chuckles and goes over to Ahsoka and smirks while standing in front of her. "Oh Twi?" He calls.

Twilight smirked from nearby as she lit up her horn again. Ahsoka keeps frowning until she realizes she changed into a pony and felt Blitz scratching her head. "Wow." She said distantly.

"Who is a good little wife to our stallion?" E. Vinyl teases.

Ahsoka goes wide and starts slapping his hand away with her hooves. "Cut that out." She said glaring.

Blitz smiles and hugs her.

Ahsoka frowns as she was held. "Put me down."

Blitz smirks before kissing her behind her ear.

Ahsoka eeps before stopping. "Did you just kiss a pony while in this form?"

"Why not? After all, you fell for me even though we were different species." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grumbles. "I hate you." She said crossing her hooves.

"Twi." Blitz says before Ahsoka was turned back and held her bridal style.

Ahsoka keeps frowns as she tries to hand on. "Okay, you are too much into this."

"I got to be or I won't be able to keep up." Blitz says.

Ahsoka heard some snickering and glares in their direction as Blitz was blocking them and huffs. "What the heck are you smug about?"

"Spitfire, Rainbow, and Daring acted like this at the start of us being spouses." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "Yeah, Ahsoka can be another Rainbow, just a big war fighter…and stubborner."

"That remains to be seen." Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles as he keeps holding Ahsoka. "But she does need to know how I go through dealing with my wives."

"Don't think she is ready for that stage." S. Vinyl says.

Blitz hums. "True. Besides, I won't get much chances while me and her are fighting."

"Wait, can I even get pregnant while a pony?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz stops and thinks on that. "I…think so. Twilight, explanation time." He calls.

"Inconclusive evidence at this point." Twilight says sounding like a scientist.

Blitz hums. "Guess you would be the first data set." He said looking back to Ahsoka.

"No." Ahsoka says flatly.

Blitz shrugs. "Alright. Your choice."

"Come on lover birds time. To get ready for the weeklong festival." Twilight says.

Blitz blinks and looks to her. "Weeklong festival?"

"Yes, now come on." Twilight says turning them both back into ponies.

Blitz hums as he shakes himself. "Let's get ready." He said walking off.

"Yeah, come on. It is time for Nightmare week. This year we are celebrating it for a whole week." Vinyl says cheerfully.

Blitz held a goofy grin as he looks to Ahsoka.

"What?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz chuckles. "I got just the costume for you."

"What are you…"

Blitz chuckles and tries to keep from laughing out loud at the sight of the Jedi wearing a Timberwolf outfit. "How does it feel my wooden wife?" He asks coyly as he wore a back alley trench coat outfit with his blasters at his sides in their holsters.

"I will get you for this." Ahsoka growls.

Blitz laughs. "Want to wear that oh so obvious cloak?"

Ahsoka grumbles as Vinyl walks up dressed like a vampire.

Blitz smirks. "Oh, going the obvious route?" He asks Vinyl.

"Hey, this is the one time of year I can do this and you know it." Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles and gives we a quick kiss. "I know. Now go on and enjoy some of the party."

"I will, but I want a dance partner." Vinyl says smirking at Blitz.

Blitz sighs. "Let's go."

"I got something for Ahsoka to do. You up for playing and supervising the foals with a few others?" Vinyl asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Fine."

"Azure and Arcane are looking forward to it." Vinyl says grabbing Blitz.

Ahsoka shakes her head as he walks off with that same goofy grin. "So what dance?" She heard.

"Oh, I will lead flasher." Vinyl teases.

"Lead the way maestro." Blitz teases as he holds her.

"Well time to ship out." Blitz says.

Spike just waves a claw in the air. "Woo hoo." He said dryly in his seat.

"Ahsoka, going to join us?" Blitz asks outside of a transport.

Ahsoka sighs. "My fleet is combined with yours. Might as well." She said going to him.

"Wait for us!" The three fillies yell as they rush past her with some three odd drones following. "Oh wait." Sweetie Belle says and turns to the drones and works on them for a few before they fly off back towards the town. "Now we can go!" She said rejoining the three.

"Get in before I decide not to let you three come or your sister come to stop us." Blitz says strapping himself in and almost trying to sleep.

"No problem." Apple Bloom said as they sit next to Spike.

"Military protocol starts now." Blitz says getting into the pilot seat.

Ahsoka sighs as she sits down. "So where are we going next?"

"The fleet is stationed in this system. We are going to sneak around and attack Mustafar. The separatists won't expect that and I have kept the entire fleet from knowing it so no leaks are possible." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Isn't that a mostly fleet area? Which would mean we aren't going to be on the ground a lot."

"It is mostly a volcanic planet and according to our spies, a secret droid factory is hidden there." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums as she thinks to herself. "We're going to sabotage or take over?"

"Mustafar does have plenty of resources, but that is not why it's the target." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Now I'm interested."

"Nuh, huh, that is a s surprise…now Spike, head to these coordinates for this operation. Mandalore added a new clan to the ranks. A problem clan to say the least." Blitz says.

Spike sighs. "Got it."

"Blitz, who are these trouble clan?" Ahsoka asks.

"You are not going to like this." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Who is it?"

"Death Watch." Blitz says before the ship reached safe distance from the planet before entering hyperspace.

Ahsoka didn't like it as one of the Death Watch ships docked with them and Blitz put on his helmet. "You sure about this?"

"Yes, they hate Dooku more than anything right now. If now, they wouldn't have even joined our crusade." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Can't believe we have to work with them."

"You knew it was a possibility." Blitz says grabbing a jar of wine.

Ahsoka groans before looking to him confused. "What's with the wine?"

"Old Mandalorian tradition. In ancient times, when a clan joined a crusade, the two highest ranking members and the one they are assigned to, slip their blood into an alcohol drink and swear destruction on the enemy they face in the crusade." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Strange."

"It was a symbol of unity in purpose and by doing this, they will have to respect us since I use some of the ancient customs." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "So where are they?"

"They will be boarding soon. I will go meet them. I will return when we are ready to head out." Blitz says leaving.

Ahsoka hisses to herself. "Don't kill anyone."

Blitz says nothing and head to the entrance. When he got there, he saw two mandalorians enter. Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan, the two highest ranking members of Death Watch. The three stared down each other until Death Watch made the first move.

"Well I wasn't expecting you to meet us alone general." Pre Vizsla says.

"Ni tateya gar de miai be Shahar stiaoe." Blitz says obviously surprising them.

"Ori pirusti." Vizsla says before he and his lieutenant remove their left gauntlets and Vizsla brings out a knife.

Blitz sets the wine in the middle of a table and gets three glasses and places them in a triangle formation. Then they each took the knife one by one and cut their palms and forced the cut to bleed into the wine. After all three had done this, Blitz shook the bottle a bit, mixing the wine and blood together before pouring each a cup full. The three then take their cups and say in unison. "Akay, 'kay va Dooku cuyir kyrayc mhi malyasa'yr draar gev akaanir kaysh." Before they down the entire contents of their cups in one gulp.

Blitz sighs as he puts his cup down. "So now you know your place in the war?"

"Yes, even if it means fighting beside the jedi." Vizsla says, his tone changed a little.

"Good, then follow us to these coordinates." Blitz says handing them a datapad as he gets up and leaves.

"Well that is done with." Blitz says getting back into the pilot seat.

Ahsoka smiles. "So what now?"

"We proceed to the fleet now." Blitz says setting course.

Ahsoka frowns as she sees some blood leaking from him. "Did you fix your cut at least?"

"Huh?" Blitz asks before looking at his hand. "So I didn't." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she goes over before checking it. "You really need to take care of yourself. Everyone else wouldn't like it if you were taken down by a simple cut."

"I have had worse." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes and goes to get a medical kit. "And then they'll pick on me." She said grabbing one and going back to him.

"Then you got to pick back on the rest of them." Blitz says smiling letting her have his hand.

Ahsoka huffs as she starts to work on his hand. "When do you take care of yourself at least?"

"I worry about you too much for that." Blitz says trying to be cheesy.

Ahsoka frowns and hits his side. "Shut up and be honest." She said starting to bandage him up.

Blitz smiled as he flexed his hand. "Alright. In all seriousness, I don't usually notice such small things outside of the cut or combat." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You need to learn perception." She said checking over the hand one last time.

"So I see you took up a bit of medicine." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Side effect of working with some clones."

"You read the latest on the new troops being assigned to the 501st?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, hard to believe we finally have civilian recruits."

"Yeah and they have been trained. Now we have to organize them into the ranks." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Let's give some time. They will send the new recruits somewhere and we can organize from there."

"Seeing as this will mainly be a space battle, not too bad." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Maybe they can man the cannons." She said playfully.

"There will also be a Chiss assigned as one of our new officers." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Good. Now let's get going and hope we don't end up badly."

"You don't know the Chiss well do you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Care to explain?"

"The Chiss Ascendancy was one of the only alien races that the old empire didn't annex before coming to face the republic in the second great hyperspace war. In fact, they were respected by the imperial military to an extent." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "How good were they?"

"Enough to be assigned whole sectors on planets and well enough to be selected to run bases over humans and the empire was very pro human." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grimaces. "Would they be against aliens that much?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Then why would they fight for us?"

"I bet the answer is mired in politics." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Maybe. How much longer?"

"One hour. In the meanwhile, read Jern'vaoni'koatta's file." Blitz says handing her a datapad.

Ahsoka hums as she takes it and starts to read away.

"Military background and a mind for strategy that could rival Spike's, also specializes in ground combat." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Spike's huh? Well, let's hope they don't go head to head that badly."

"He is a professional while Spike is still learning to be one." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Makes you wonder how far Spike will go in his life now."

"The kid will go far. If he doesn't become arrogant." Blitz says looking at the four sleeping passengers.

Ahsoka smiles as she looks over to them as well. "They are pretty great, aren't they? Like a simple family."

"Oh, want to get working on your child then?" Blitz teases.

Ahsoka hits his side. "Blitz, I'm at war, I'm a Jedi and I really don't want to complicate things right now with a child. Especially at this time."

"Ok, ok. So you know I originally intended to have Lightning Dust accompany me in this war?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods and looks to him. "What stopped you?"

"She decided not to. She had a son so I assigned her to oversee security of the planet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Even with a soldier you take care of them."

"Yes I do." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "And what about me?"

"You can leave the order at any time and join the mandalorians as my wife." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Maybe, maybe not. We'll see during the course of this war. Who knows, I'll officially marry you instead of what my master did."

"So we going to couples counseling with him and the senator?" Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka laughs and wraps an arm around him. "You do realize that he's stubborn, right?"

"But I bet he is whipped in private with her." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, that I would expect."

"Like how I love you and am tender to you in private." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blushes and quickly let's go of him and looks away. "Shut up."

"Hey, I am just stating a fact and might as well hold each other while we can." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and moves over to him before sitting in another seat nearby. "So when are you going to tell everyone what we are going to do?"

"Death Watch will have five hours and fifty minutes to get settled in. Five minutes later, I will inform the fleet and at the sixth hour, we will warp for operation Frozen Storm." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Want to capture the planet yourself?"

"The planet is not the goal as we will be winnowing down the separatist droid navy while destroying the factories on the planet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "So what type of planets or assets would you take over from the separatists?"

"Officially we agreed not to do that as it is former republic territory and it wouldn't be a viable option for us as the republic will not be able to send reinforcements quick enough, but if the republic agreed to succeed a little territory to us, then the Citadel alliance might take it over." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Well you do need some resource planets for your own kind and for their expansion."

"Yes, but will the republic give up the planets?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well you can claim planets yourself in the name of your kind or mandalore. Maybe they would allow you to take it."

"Article seven of the treaty." Blitz says.

Ahsoka pulled up the treaty on her datapad and reads the article. "Basically saying neither side will take from the other without the consent of the other." Ahsoka says.

"Correct." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and puts her datapad away. "So are you going to find some for your kind soon?"

"Huh?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Planets and resources."

"We will expand eventually in our own ways." Blitz says reaching over and puts a hand on her shoulder.

Ahsoka smiles. "You planning to include me?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs in relief. "Good. I was thinking you might hold back until the war and events has settled for a while."

Blitz smiles. "I waited long enough to have you. After all, you were technically my first love." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blushes heavily. "First huh? Not even your own?"

"Yeah, I fell in love you first." Blitz says.

Ahsoka coughs and looks away. "I see. Well…that's something."

"You put a jedi mind trick on me." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Okay, that's a cheap line."

"I know, should have used my spells." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka hits his side again. "Stop with the lame pickup lines."

"But they amuse you so." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, somewhat. Though your dating skills need to be worked on."

"This isn't even my A material." Blitz says getting up.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Oh, what is?" She asks amused.

"I will save that for later. Give you something to look forward to." Blitz says walking over.

Ahsoka held an amused smirk. "So why are you coming over to me?"

"Oh, I don't know." Blitz says before kissing her cheek quickly and pulls away while holding a smirk.

Ahsoka held a small blush as she frowns. "Wow, not bad." She said dryly.

"I love you Ahsoka Read." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blinks. "Wait, what?"

"Isn't it customary for a female to change her last name to her husband when they marry?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka blinks. "Your last name is named after a reed?"

"No, Read. As in 'read' a datapad." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods in understand. "Oh, okay then. That makes sense. Though…Blitz Read…strange. Blitz reading a book." She said to herself.

"Well I never really had a last name, so after learning me mum's, I took hers." Blitz says before kissing her.

Ahsoka eeps before she kisses back and pulls away a bit. "Frisky much? How much longer do we have?"

"Forty minutes, I just wanted one last kiss before we get in range of being detected and your master contacts us my beautiful wife." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "You are the embodiment of the dark side." She said playfully.

"Only if the dark side is about having fun and loving others." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Now we know that is not even possible with others listening."

"Yeah, so enjoy while we can." Blitz says.

Ahsoka giggles and smirks. "Maybe I will. Though it will be tough with those four." She said slightly looking to four passengers.

"With them asleep?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "They might wake up."

Blitz takes a quick look at the clock before picking her up. "Fine, my room." He said before carrying her away.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Good padawan. You are now learning burdens."

"Oh, I have known burdens for a long time." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "And those with my weights?"

"What are you talking about? You are light as a feather." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "So I'm almost weightless?"

"Yes, you are light as a feather, but can hit harder than a tank." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grins and hits his chest. "And don't you forget it."

"You feeling good?" Blitz asks as it was five minutes till.

Ahsoka nods as she lays her head against his chest. "Yeah, that was good. You still need work though."

"Hey, you are the one without experience." Blitz says cheekily.

Ahsoka smirks. "And you have been living with horses."

"Ponies and I am one too and you are a unicorn." Blitz says teasing.

Ahsoka hits his chest lightly. "Not my real form."

"Who says?" Blitz teases.

Ahsoka sits up and looks at him. "I say."

"Oh?" Blitz asks kissing her neck.

Ahsoka moans and tries to hold him back. "Cut that out."

"So when are we going to have intercourse?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka finally pushes him off. "Not yet for that matter."

"I know. Also you really like my tongue in your mouth, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka blushes heavily. "Shut up and just hold me." Blitz smiles and complies. Ahsoka sighs and wraps her arms around him again. "Just hope we can live through this like last time."

Blitz nods and rubs her back. "We will. Because I will be there."

Ahsoka sighs. "Good. Because you will have to be with me the whole time during the assault."

"We will be sharing the same ship as we will be on the flag ship." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "How do you like that ship?"

"Has which one been decided?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "I mean is the flagship to your liking."

"Last I heard, the flagship was being decided between the Darkline and your master's Resolute." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Now that's a debate waiting to happen. Maybe yours will win because of how much tech it has compared to ours."

"And it has the silencer." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "That too. Mostly is whoever has the biggest weapon."

Blitz smiles as he strokes her montral.

Ahsoka sighs. "So…where will I be staying on the Darkline?"

"I got a room all ready for you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Oh? You got me a room after we just got hitched?"

"What do you think that room you were staying in the castle was for?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Okay, you are too giving."

"For my wife?" Blitz asks as he keeps stroking her montral.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, even when we don't want it."

"I can't share the same room all the time." Blitz says kissing her collarbone.

Ahsoka lifts her head up. "So I can't go to your own room?"

"There are times you can, but I have to entertain all of you." Blitz says hugging her.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him back. "So what about when the war is going on?"

"We will have to act like professionals to each other." Blitz says resting his head on her.

Ahsoka groans. "Great. I was hoping in the off time."

"Can't let them suspect and now." Blitz says before picking her up with the force and sits her on his lap.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow and looks him over. "So then when can we?"

"When we are alone. Completely alone." Blitz says before kissing her.

Ahsoka giggles into the kiss before they hear a few knocks. "Blitz, you in there?" They heard Spike ask.

Blitz ends the kiss and smiles at Ahsoka before saying. "Yes Spike, I will be out soon."

"Okay. We are about to the Darkline so you better get ready." Spike said before hearing him walk away.

"Time is up my wife." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Dang it. Let's get going." She said getting off of him.

"Oh, that reminds me." Blitz says letting her up and going to a foot locker before pulling out her lightsabers.

Ahsoka smiles and takes them. "Huh, you clean them." She said looking them over.

"Oh, you noticed." Blitz says smirking before walking over the desk where his helmet was.

Ahsoka smirks. "Did you even think of how these things were put together?"

"I know. I took a few of your lightsabers apart from jedi I slew." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him.

"I was curious how they went together." Blitz offers sheepishly like a kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Ahsoka shakes her head while frowning. "Padawan Read. Do I need to give first year lessons for you on lightsabers?"

"No, I already examined them and know about them…also I had to replace one of saber's diatium power cell." Blitz says.

Ahsoka crosses her arms. "It exploded, didn't it?"

"No, it was faulty though." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and starts to walk out. "We better get going."

"Love you supermodel." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes and holds an amused smile. "That's for a child." She said heading out the door and closing it behind her.

Blitz chuckles and snickers. "I love my life." He said to himself as he grabs his blasters and follows her.

Blitz enters the bridge of the Darkline with Ahsoka right behind him to see a few improvements were made including a republic hologenerator in the back for briefings and planning.

Ahsoka smiles as she looks around. "Feels like my flagship and yours just got smashed together and decided to just work with what was left."

"More like the republic wanted that added in so they have something to show and link to when discussing strategies." Blitz says as he noticed Ridley was sleeping in his chair.

Ridley mumbles in his sleep as he snores. "I'll…stop you with…my claws of justice." He mumbles away as he waves his talons in the air.

Spike chuckles as he walks. "Sleep well you lazy lizard."

"So I wonder if your master is back yet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka groans. "Not happy with the decision of having that group in ours."

"Well not my place. Mandalore assigned them and at least they are not out making terrorist strikes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I think that's why my master doesn't like them. Future betrayal."

"They won't do anything like that till after Dooku is dead and his forces are shattered or be forever dishonored." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "And this will be a long time for that."

"When I mean is shatter. I mean the C.I.S. will no longer be in existence or so broken they are powerless." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "So what do we got?"

"I will wait for vice admiral Jern'vaoni'koatta explain that." Blitz says.

Ahsoka goes to sit down nearby. "So you left most of the planning to him?"

"No, I left studying the inventory and taking stock to him to familiarize him with what we have." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "So who's really in charge here?"

"That is a mixed thing. We divided the force into a few areas. Ridley and your admiral Wullf Yularen are in command of the fleet. We have split them into halves. Admiral Yularen will command the three republic battleships and one of our destroyers and three frigates. While Ridley will command the rest of the fleet. From there, the command of the space forces follows the ranks, while the ground forces will be directly controlled by your master, you, me, and captain Rex. I also delegated watching over the new civilian recruits to the new vice admiral." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "They are pretty good, aren't they?"

"Who are you referring to?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "The civilian troops."

"They are fresh out of training." Blitz says.

"Yup, a bunch of shinnies." Rex says nearby.

Ahsoka smirks. "That's what you said about the rebels and look where they are now."

"Speaking of which, Rex, I believe we should familiarize Ahsoka with our new lieutenant don't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Lieutenant?"

Rex nods and nods his head to a person nearby. "Yep, Saw Gerra. Straight out of our training regimen."

"Looks like Onderon has had some citizens enlist." Ahsoka says.

"Yeah and didn't need as much training because they were in the rebellion mostly." Blitz adds.

"Explains how we got new non clone soldiers so fast." Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiles. "Yep, pre-trained. Maybe we should start them out on militia training and move them into military. Though that's for small and developing planets."

"That senate would have to approve that." Anakin says walking in.

Blitz shrugs. "Suggestion at least."

"I doubt the conservatives will allow that." Ahsoka says.

Blitz grins. "Where's my credits going in all this?" He imitates.

"Actually, was thinking more Senator of Naboo, she would be against anything escalating the war." Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiles. "Because it has gone on long enough. The first few years are always fruitful."

"She actually is against anything to continue escalating the war." Ahsoka says.

"Oh, then avoid being in the same room most of the time." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "I'll try that. Though will politics around every corner, it's not possible."

"I thought you and her were friends." Anakin says unhappy obviously at their joking.

"What, she your wife or something?" Blitz jokes.

Anakin just stays quiet at that.

"Don't be silly." Ahsoka says covering for him.

Blitz shrugs. "Hey, he speaks so highly of her would think that she is his sister."

"Moving on. Are you finally going to tell us the target?" Anakin asks.

"Ahsoka, how long has it been since we got back?" Blitz asks.

"About fifteen minutes." Ahsoka says.

"In five hours and thirty-five minutes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "And so we got time to prepare for any eventually."

"Mostly let's let Death Watch settle in and meet with our new recruits. After that, we go." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just waves a hand around. "Yay. Wait, that reminds me, isn't one of your wives pregnant still?"

"If you want to get technical, eight are currently." Blitz says

"Teleportation time!" Twilight yells running to Fluttershy.

"Maybe seven now." Blitz said to himself.

"Why do you say that?" Ahsoka asks.

"Call it a premonition." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "I see. Want to make a call?"

"Give it an hour." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs and just relaxes. "So what should we do in the meantime?"

"I have to read over reports. Will be in my office." Blitz says getting up and leaving.

Ahsoka smiles as she watches him leave. "Don't let me find you buried under papers."

"Oh Anakin, I remember I have something for you in my office." Blitz says.

Anakin looks to him. "What is it?"

"Look and see." Blitz says smirking under his helmet.

Anakin shakes his head as he follows and leaves Ahsoka smirking. "Don't kill each other."

Blitz stands slightly to the side of the door as Anakin opens it.

Anakin yells out as he was swept away by a sea of paper and down the hall. "What the heck?!" They heard him call as they watch him being taken away.

Blitz laughs as he was safely out of the splash zone.

Ahsoka snickers as she still sees the paper water still coming out of the office. "How long have you been gone?"

"Those aren't reports, just a trap I set up for anyone sneaking into my office." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Paper water?"

"No, just a ton of papers of complaints from the populace." Blitz says.

Ahsoka picks up one nearby. "What's the most popular?"

"The bill to your master for property damage." Blitz says.

"You gotta be kidding me!" They heard Anakin yell obviously reading a few by now.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You are going to empty his account."

"Actually, they are from when he was just a padawan." Blitz chuckles.

Ahsoka stares at him before snarking. "Really, he was that bad?"

"Check them, they allow for damages to speeders he has commandeered." Blitz says.

Ahsoka mumbles as she looks over the long rap sheet. "Three hundred speeders?!" She yells.

"Catching a bad guy Snips!" They heard Anakin call from down the hall.

"How many per bad guy?" Blitz calls.

There was silence for a bit. "Fifty." He finally said.

"What you have to say Commander Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

"You suck!" Ahsoka calls before throwing the paper away. "I thought you were a pilot?"

"Yes, but his driving sucks." Blitz says.

"Hey!"

"You damaged fifty speeders on average per chase." Blitz says.

"Shut up!"

"Remind me not to lend him my speeder bike." Blitz says to Ahsoka.

Ahsoka chuckles. "I'll try not to. I kinda like that thing. Hey, where's Terran?" She asks looking around.

"Um…" Blitz mumbles.

Diamond was smiling as she stood by three floating drones and a big alien dog who was growling at her mother who was trying very hard to be a rock. "Not yet boy." She said patting his head.

Terran only barks.

"Entertaining the foals back on the planet. I knew this operation would have little close quarters so I left him back so he wouldn't be bored." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "You sure it's a good idea with his dangerous style?"

"He won't hurt them. He views them as his pack and will hunt for them." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises a finger. "I meant the ones that might hurt the kids."

"Oh, that reminds me. Sending memo. Clean up the bones." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hisses to herself. "I think you should warn your family."

"Oh, they know all about him." Blitz says before showing her an image of the foals all over Terran.

Ahsoka chuckles as she sees Terran being dog piled by the many foals of town. "Wow. They love him. Aren't those two like bullies?" She asks pointing to two fillies.

"Which ones?" Blitz asks looking.

Ahsoka moves up and points to a pink and grey filly. "These two. Kept hearing it from Spike's friends."

"Yeah, that is about a recent change." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Strange how time flies. You could be still out here and not down there helping them or even meeting them and they would still not know about the war over their heads."

"That is life for ya." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "I'm going to go catch some food before we really start." She said getting up and leaving.

"Ok, will head in there." Blitz says pointing to a door down the hall.

Ahsoka smiles as she enters and finds the mess. "Thanks." She calls out as Blitz relaxes in his seat before using the force to push out the rest of the papers.

"Now let us see." Blitz says activating his private terminal.

He stares at the calling screen for the past ten minutes in a dead stare now, but then it gets answered. "Blitz?" Twilight answered.

Blitz snorts awake. "The monkey in the mirror room with a wrench." He said quickly and holding up a hoof.

"What?" Twilight asks.

Blitz shakes his head a bit. "Sorry. How's it going over there?"

"Well Fluttershy went into labor." Twilight says.

Blitz stares at her. "I knew it!" He cheers before smiling at her. "So how's the foal and what does he or she look like?"

"She is ok and it's a colt." Twilight says.

"Ok and your egg?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles and moves to camera to where he can see the egg in her lap. "Almost time. Arcane is going to have another brother or sister. But having another alicorn is rare so he or she could be just a regular unicorn."

"Or a pegasus or an earth pony." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "There's that. Got a name yet?"

"Thinking." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles as she rubs the egg. "Do you still like me even with this?" She asks looking at the egg.

"Yes, now what about my new colt? Give me details." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and turns the camera to see Fluttershy sleeping on a bed while curled around a little colt sleeping as well and nuzzling her sometimes. "Luckily he didn't end up inheriting Fluttershy's Flutterbat side. So it looks like it was magical and only one way. I don't know about what the mind is like. He just nodded off as soon as he was in his mother's forelegs."

"Oh, he is yellow with my mane." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, but because he feels asleep, I don't know how he is like so we will wait until they are both rested up."

"Ok, I'll be thinking up names till then." Blitz says.

Twilight playfully pokes the screen. "You better or I'm calling in the middle of a fight."

"Also do not lend any of our vehicles to Anakin Skywalker." Blitz adds.

Twilight giggles. "I'll take your word for it."

"Ok, now Arcane, you checking on your sibling?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she looks over to the doorway to see him peeking around it. "Yes daddy." He calls.

"Come here my foal." Twilight says.

Arcane steps around from the doorway and walks over before standing by her. "Hi dad." He said waving shyly.

"Hey son." Blitz says as Arcane looks at the egg.

Arcane leans forward and pokes the egg with his nose. "How is it?"

"Fine, your younger sibling will hatch soon." Twilight says.

Arcane smiles as he pokes the egg with his nose again. "Isn't that cute? Already in protective brother mode." Terra said appearing behind Twilight and looking over her shoulder at him.

"Don't forget your new brother over there with Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Arcane looks over and quietly walks over and stares closely at the little colt. "Wow." He whispered.

"You have to watch over him, got it son?" Blitz asks.

Arcane looks over and nods before going back to watching the colt.

"I can't stay much longer Twi. Also, can you connect me to Luna and Celestia?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods and starting trying things in. "Okay, we'll call you if something important comes up." She said before her line ended and another began ringing.

Blitz waited, tapping his hoof expectantly.

Soon the line picked up and he can see Celestia trying to type away on her omnitool. "How do you work this thing? Newfangled technology."

"Celly, you can stop. You answered." Blitz says.

Celestia stops and blinks to the screen. "Oh…okay then." She said slowly putting her hoof down. "You…called for me?"

"Yes, one moment." Blitz says before the other end answered.

"Yes! Take that sucker!" They hear Luna yell and see her playing around on a game. "Hi there, Blitzkrieg Read. To what do I owe this call?" She asks as she didn't take her eyes off the screen.

"Is that the way you talk to your grandfather young lady?" Blitz asks.

Luna giggles and looks over after she pauses the game. "Hi grandpa. How's it going?"

"I wanted to check on you two." Blitz says.

They smile at that. "It has been a while grandpa. So how's it going?" Luna asks.

"About to ship out on another battlefront in a few hours." Blitz says.

Celestia looks a little heartbroken. "Oh, I see. Well, be safe."

Luna smiles gently. "I just hope that when you can have a break, you can play a strategy game with me and we'll see who's the better mastermind. I always wonder how smart my grandfather is."

"Your right flank is exposed in the game. Celly and Lulu, I got an order for you. Visit your family soon." Blitz says.

They both smile. "Sure. Maybe even letting us hold the foals too." Celestia thought to herself.

"I'm sure they will let you. Also, we have had a new one born and one egg laid by Twilight." Blitz says.

Celestia smiles. "How long will you be gone?"

"Unknown, unlike last time, we don't aim to conquer, but to deprive them of resources and make them commit forces right into a trap." Blitz says.

Luna grins. "Ah, the take and ploy maneuver."

"Yes, the planet is guarded and it is in the rear of their territory, but it contains droid factories that keep pressing out more and more droids destroying the factories will cut their production by a bit and it is a mining world." Blitz says before displaying a picture of the volcanic planet.

Luna hums. "You not thinking of reprogramming them and using them as cannon fodder? I'm sure aunt Minerva can come up with something."

"Minerva is too busy. She has a colt of her own. Most likely the first of his kind, a techno organic creature." Blitz says.

Luna claps her hooves happily. "Oh, great news. She must be so happy. How old is he now?"

"Not even half a year." Blitz says.

Celestia smiles gently. "We have missed a lot."

"Yes, now there are three watching you from the peep holes behind you Celly." Blitz says.

Celestia smiles all the while. "And can you tell who?"

"Brown, green, and megaline pairs of eyes." Blitz says.

Celestia looks behind her and the eyes disappear from the paintings. "Oh those sneakers." She said before looking back at him. "I'll deal with them soon."

"Ok, I have to go soon. Got to inspect the troops before shipping out. Love you two." Blitz says.

They both wave at him. "Bye grandpa." They said before Luna's line was cut.

"It's the purple button granddaughter." Blitz says.

Celestia frowns as she keeps pressing at the button. "Why isn't it working?" She asks furiously pressing the button.

"The other one." Blitz said smirking.

Celestia looks over to the other button on the other end of the keyboard. "Oh." She said before pressing it and the line was cut.

"Oh Celly, hopeless with technology." Blitz says. Blitz sighs as he stares at the screen before getting up. "Now I just need to think of what to do for now."

Hours later, Blitz was standing in front of the display map with the other high ranking members of the fleet. "Alright, I will now divulge the location of the target for operation Frozen Storm." Blitz says.

Ridley huffs. "We're waiting."

"The target is Mustafar." Blitz says stunning the entire table.

"Excuse me?" Ridley asks frowning.

"You heard me. Mustafar, where I have it on good authority that it not only is a key mining planet, but also a droid manufacturing one." Blitz says.

Ridley snarls quietly while the others looked apprehensive. "Well what's the plans?" The admiral asks.

"We hit them hard right off the bat. Although guarded, they don't expect a full invasion force. After that, we send teams to disable the shield generators for each facility and let the planet do the rest while we set up a defensive fortification and wait for the response force to show up. They like to play attrition, well this is mandalorian style attrition warfare." Blitz says.

The two Death Watch members seem to smirk at that. "Ok, how are we going to prepare the defenses?" Anakin asks.

"Easy, the silencer on the Darkline isn't the only lost technology I have. I also have the blueprints for a weapon for frigates designed to pick up and attack any ship coming towards them from hyperspace." Blitz says.

They all stare at him. "And how did you get that?" Anakin asks.

"That is a mandalorian secret, but regardless, four of our frigates have had these weapons installed on them, but as they use them they can't move and are vulnerable." Blitz says.

Anakin frowns. "So how do you expect them to survive when attacking with so few ships?"

"No, that is why our formation will be centered around protecting these four frigates until all the enemy exit hyperspace where the Darkline will be their waiting with the Silencer fully charged." Blitz says.

"I see, so using their sensors and weaponry, we will be able to predict where they will exit hyperspace and aim the main weapon there." The chiss at the table says.

Ridley blinks for a moment. "Oh, one of these guys is here. Pleasure to meet you. Big fan of your work." He said holding out a talon.

"Ridley, have you been neglecting reading the reports again?" Blitz asks.

Ridley looks to him. "I slept the whole time. My timer must be off." He said to himself looking to his data screen on his arm and messing with it.

"It is as vice-admiral Jern'vaoni'koatta says. We draw them into a net and destroy them as they come. Destroying both a production plant and dealing as much damage as we can inflect before jumping away." Blitz says.

Anakin sighs. "When do we begin?"

"Five minutes. As of now, we go silent. No transmission besides to each other." Blitz says.

They all nod before walking off to their posts as Blitz sighs and looks to the plans. "Okay, let's hope this works. Who knows, this may become the testing fleet soon." He mused to himself as he went to go get ready.

After a few moments, Blitz faced vice admiral Jern'vaoni'koatta. "So tell me the status of the new non clone soldier." Blitz says.

"Going good. Just need them to learn the ins and outs of their new posts in the war. The mind however will soon be a different story. They are in this for something different than the usual clones." Jern'vaoni'koatta said.

"The need to protect their home, their republic." Blitz says.

Jern raises an eyebrow. "But whose side will they be going for when it provides better protection for their family?"

"The Separatists have all but lost the populace's support once news of them firebombing settlements when they knew they had lost a planet." Blitz says.

Jern shrugs. "You know the stubborn ones."

"Also after getting an alliance with the citadel alliance, the separatists are being pressed on multiple fronts with fresh troops coming to fight their droids." Blitz says.

Jern sighs. "Strange. The republic use clones and the alliance use real people and only semi use robots. Who's winning better again?"

"We have quality and they have quantity. But now this side of the war's numbers have swollen and are now in a position to shatter them in the coming months." Blitz says.

Jern smiles. "That means some of the smarter commanders of the CID will be getting us in our own ways."

"That is why we mustn't get overconfident." Blitz says.

Jern nods. "Yes, you better get to your spot."

"I already am." Blitz says leaving.

Jern smirks as he watches him. "Watch that boy of yours. I'm afraid he doesn't need to go to school in his life."

"Don't underestimate Spike. He is far better than you realize." Blitz says.

Jern raises an eyebrow. "Who said I was talking about the little tyke?" He asks before walking away.

"T-minus ten." The intercom says.

Blitz looks back at where Jern went before heading to his area. "Strange as always." He said to himself.

"Another boring day." The admiral in charge of the Mustafar defense fleet says sitting in his chair.

"Hey, look what I found." He hears and looks to see a droid holding a strange box with many tiles on top. "I think it's a puzzle. How does this work?" It asks messing with it.

"And my only company are them." The admiral mutters to himself massaging his temples as more droids tied to solve the puzzle. "How much computing power do you need for that thing?!"

"Enough to see the radar detecting a disturbance on the outer perimeter." A droid said as it messes with the box.

"…what?" The admiral asks before several ships jumped out of hyperspace and opened fire.

"Forget the puzzle!" A droid yelled as it threw the box into the air and went to grab a blaster and moves to the consoles.

"Don't blast the consoles you moron!" Another droid yells trying to grab the blaster from him.

The admiral just rubs his temples as the blaster went off and destroys a few consoles. "I got stuck with new droids that don't even know trigger discipline. If there is a god out there, please make this stop." He mumbled to himself before seeing a bomber squadron coming in hot.

The admiral just sighs and walks off while the droids were bumbling around. "I wonder if the republic is accepting prisoners still." The admiral says before ejecting in an escape pod.

"Sir, the fleet is in complete disarray and out of formation. We caught them completely unaware and are mopping them up." One of Ridley's original soldier reports.

Blitz scratches his head. "Huh, expected some resistance. This was too easy." He mused to himself.

"We have detected an escape pod." The former pirate says.

"Bring it on board." Blitz says immediately.

Ridley was confused as well. "Yes, too easy. A five-year-old, heck, a no year old can take care of this assault and maybe doesn't even have to do anything."

"So my second bit of information was correct." Blitz says smirking.

Ridley frowns. "That just means they had an idiot running this sector."

"No, they sent mostly the defective models, but weren't bad enough to just trash, but to man the ships." Blitz says causing Ridley to roar in laughter.

Spike rolls his eyes. "And that's the reason I up the difficulty. I can literally leave a game AI to run this part of the plan."

"Do not, we have yet to jam their transmissions." Blitz says.

Spike chuckles. "Yeah, also a game can do too." He said to himself before holding an arm out and a digital dragon goes over his arm onto the console nearby and starts to work on it. "Here you go."

"Spike, at your station. I want you to counter every move in case of a miracle from them." Blitz says.

Spike nods and heads down to the SRBR. "You got it."

Blitz watches as the vulture droids finally are starting to launch as Anakin and Ahsoka lead the starfighters in the dogfight as the bombers and ship move into position and start firing in groups of two each with their own target for concentrated fire.

"Time until possible reinforcement?" Blitz asks as he kept his eyes on the fight.

"They managed to send a transmission before we could jam them. We are unsure if it made it through." A communications officer says.

"Presume it did and after dispatching the last ship and securing the pod, assume defensive formation and start prepping the teams to go down there and take out the factories and mining." Blitz orders as another ship started to go down before exploding in a flash of brilliant light.

The fight wore on as many vultures were taken out and only a few starships were gone as everyone started to prep for the incoming ships and drops down to the planet.

"Watch the bend, it always acts like a black hole if you want to use regular fire." Blitz warns as he stood inside a dropship with others coming in.

Spike nods. "Got it, just make sure you get your part done. I would rather get this over with as quick as I can." He said as Ahsoka and Anakin stayed behind with him and Ridley for this part.

"Don't worry about us. This will be quick. You ready for this lieutenant Saw?" Blitz asks.

Saw chuckles. "Been awhile since I got my feet wet. It would feel good to stretch these legs in some way."

Blitz chuckles. "I'll take that as a yes." He said as the dropship took off. "Alright, listen up. This is our target." Blitz says bringing up a 3D map of a factory. "The plan is to infiltrate here and make our way to the shield generator and plant remote explosives. I repeat, we are not there to capture it." Blitz says.

They all nod as they enter the atmosphere. "How much resistance?" Saw asks.

"This factory is producing droids as we speak so an infinite number of reinforcements so we are just taking out the shields and letting the planet do the rest." Blitz instructs.

Saw looks down out a small window. "Oh, this will be a hot mission. Touchdown where?"

"The hanger. Squads one and two will hold the position while squads three through five will head for the generator and plant the explosives. Rex?" Blitz says looking to the trooper.

Rex nods. "Sir."

"I want you in command of the first and second squads as you will be what determines if we make it out or not." Blitz says.

Rex nods. "Yes sir. Any hold backs?"

"The transport must be able to get us off world is all. Saw, you and the rest are with me for the generator." Blitz says.

Saw nods. "You got it."

Blitz looks through the small window. "Now let's get this done." He said taking out his blaster.

All four high commanders watched the screen carefully as they watch the targeting system from one of the ships. "Where are you?" Spike asks himself.

"All ships in formation, ready to turn in a moment's notice." A communication officer says.

Spike smiles. "Good. Still, where the heck are they? The message should have sent them close to us by now."

Ridley shrugs. "Maybe they either don't believe it or are late."

Spike sighs. "I wish we had more info on the ones that are possibly coming in."

"Like this?" A datapad was shoved in his face and he looks to sees the three fillies with the other two having their own. "Seems they are just transport ships coming in to have the droids repaired. Just minor battle formations." Scootaloo said as the others show information on the other ships.

"And they are just a few minutes away by hyperspace and we need a minute for the weapon to work and see them." Slender said coming up behind them with a whole host of data pads on her tendrils.

Ahsoka and Anakin watch Slender as Spike smiles. "Good. Now we have a range to work with." He said taking a few and looks at them before looking to the screen again with all four targeting systems on the screen. "Still nothing. Yeah, according to this, they would be here by now." He said looking to a datapad.

Slender shrugs. "Maybe they thought it was a fake message or an error."

Spike groans. "Blitz is going to kill me if we don't have anything to show for this."

"We got incoming from hyperspace!" An officer calls.

They all look up and sees the screens blank still. "Where?" Ridley asks squinting at them.

"It's…did we stop thinking in three dimensions again?" The officer asks.

Spike facepalms. "Dang it." He said before he quickly switched to normal view and they see four ships come in with two on top and two on bottom pointed straight at them. "Open fire and get them away from us!" Spike ordered and everyone hangs onto something as the ship jerks in one direction and starts pulling away while lasers were being fired in all directions.

Slender groans. "I can't believe we forgot about that part of space."

Spike frowns. "Rookie mistake at that too. Even I missed it…considering that everyone in the republic and separatist use a two dimensional plane." He thought to himself before turning back to the fight. "Deploy all drones!"

They all see the drones of all the ships being released before seeing projectiles coming their way. "Incoming, incoming! Sir! They are coming from all directions!" An officer spouted before hearing clunks throughout the ship and looks to the sealed doors.

"The droids coming in were mostly slated for repair…right?" Spike asks keeping an eye on the door while the other on the fight.

The three fillies could only nod slowly.

Spike frowns. "Seal the room and get whatever guards and troops we have to get rid of those things." He calls out before they see red instead of green lights on the door.

Ahsoka sighs as she takes out her lightsabers. "Maybe we should try the same trick on our own time. Save us a lot of trouble." She said facing one door and going slowly to it.

"Shields Snips. Shields." Anakin said going to the other while having his own saber out.

Everyone in the room tried to do their work while keeping their eyes on the doors as they hear laser fire and explosions from the halls getting louder. "Knew I should have gotten better hallways and doors." Spike cursed to himself before they hear beeping from one.

"Dang it!" Ahsoka yells and dives away before the door exploded and she started to deflect the blaster fire coming in as some of the guards in the room came to her aid while Anakin came in soon after to help.

"Get below deck!" Spike yells to the girls to which they look at him in shock, but soon complied and goes to a hatch in the middle of the walkway and was prepared to jump down.

"Grenade!" Someone yelled.

Everyone quickly looked up and sees a thermal detonator thrown their way with its light beeping. The three fillies became wide eyed at the sight as Sweetie Belle threw up what little magical knowledge she had for a shield and Apple Bloom and Scootaloo back her up by holding her up as the detonator exploded and sends everyone flying back to the end of the walkway.

Ahsoka cuts off a commando droid's head that had one arm and looks to see mostly everyone had hit the bars surrounding the end and didn't fall off the platform.

Spike groans as he opens his eyes before his vision slowly cleared and was able to make out some blurs and see Ridley tangled in loose wire while Slender was working with her tendrils on getting them free from the bar barrier. He then sees Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo lying in a pile together and knocked out or maybe…

Spike held his breath and wavered what he had left in him before trying to reach for them and stops and growls as he turns to the droids.

Ridley groans and feels the wires around him and starts cutting himself free before stopping at the sight of Spike walking slowly down the walkway to the fight as he slowly grew in height and gain more muscle mass. His eyes widen as his claws grew bigger and sharper while his little clothes stretch to keep his form before they were shredded with Spike's now sharp spines and long tail dragging behind him and sometimes smack the ground, making dents.

Slender groans and looks up and blanched at the sight of Spike past a teenaged dragon height and mass and still growing. And if her knowledge of dragon lives is correct, then Spike is growing for something important. She looks around stops at the sight of the three fillies unconscious in a pile and turns back to Spike.

"They're fucked." She said simply.

Anakin slices off another droid's head and slices away at a battle droid and takes it out before everything seems to stop and he feels and hears stomping and metal crunching under something. He slowly turns and goes wide eyed at the sight of a giant sharp looking creature with smoke coming out of its mouth and growling angrily at the group. He looks and leans over to see the three girls knocked out and slowly inches his way out and grabs a guard's sleeve as well to get him moving.

Spike growls heavily at the group of droids as Ahsoka and rest of the guards got out slowly without alerting the droids as they stared at Spike. He slowly leans down to their height as he finished growing to almost a height where he had a fourth of the room's height left. He starts growling louder and showing teeth while saliva fell from his lips as the droids prepared to fire and Spike opened his mouth to…

ROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR

The roar shook the whole entire ship as Spike kept roaring and everyone started to hold their ears closed before seeing light come out of Spike's mouth and soon an orange flame spewed out of mouth and cooked the wobbling droids before some of the advanced ones got back up before it seems Spike took another quick breath and his flame changed to blue and started to cook the battle droids while some commandos still had some fight left in them and lifted their useless blaster and Spike took another quick breath and his flame changed to a white color and started to cook everything, including the room walls, doors, and the floor itself.

After ten seconds, Spike closed his mouth and looks to see all the droids melted and the walls, doors, and the floor along with it before huffing a puff of smoke and stands up again before walking back down the walkway. "Get those three to the infirmary. If they are injured even further, I will personally roast them." Spike's deep rumbling voice vibrating throughout the room.

Slender gulps before gathering the three fillies in her tendrils and carries them away while some guards followed without question to not anger the now fully grown Spike.

Ridley had his jaw open the entire time as he stared at the large dragon that used to be the hatching called Spike. "Give me direct control!" Spike orders and looks to Ridley. "And you better go with them and protect those three, because if you don't, I will throw you into an airlock and blast you into space and hit you with every single weaponry in this fleet." Spike threatens and huffs some smoke in his face before quickly swiping his claw across the wires and gets him free before turning back to the screens.

Ridley stared at him a bit longer before running off where everyone else went and the Jedi knights followed behind him to not feel Spike's wrath. "S…si…sir? Which ones?" An officer asks, afraid to turn around.

Spike growls lowly. "Everything." He hissed.

The officer gulps before going into the codes and releasing the locks and then sends everything everyone has to him to which he still growls lowly. "Everything." He growls.

The officer gulps again. "Sir, that's…everything we have." The officer said shakily.

Another officer taps her shoulder. "The republic." He whispers to her.

The female officer goes a little wide eyed and chooses not to the defy the killer dragon and opens the command system and gives it to Spike before just five seconds later does the republic ships fall into formation.

Spike huffs one last time. "Kill them!" He yells and actually shatters an officer's screen glass with that yell as all armaments opened fire on the ships as the silencer was powering up.

They all watch in horror as Spike literally directed everything with only himself and his talons and decimated everything in sight and even the destroyed parts of the ships left behind as they plow through everything to leave nothing behind but plates of metal.

The communication officer hears some beeping and sees it's her console and multiple calls coming in to possibly ask why they lost control before dismissing them and looks back to their commander lost in a rage.

Spike growls turns into roars again and sees the silencer charged and fires it while launching everything at once at the final ship and completely overdoes it. He pants deeply as the power goes out and the emergency systems come on before slowly getting back on all fours and starts to walk away to the infirmary.

Everyone carefully looks to where he left before getting the screen back on and sees that only a single piece of metal plating was floating in the view.

"We're done here pilot. Get us out of here." Blitz says as everyone got in the transport.

The pilot only nods and takes off as the door closed. "Now?" Saw asks holding up the detonator.

"Wait till we are clear…now." Blitz says after getting some distance.

Saw smiles and presses the button before feeling the force of the blast. "Okay, now it's a small waiting game."

Blitz looks out as he sees the factory itself sinking into the magma.

Rex sighs. "Hard to believe they would be this cheap. It's more expensive to make droids on this planet since there are barely any good materials to work with."

"Not necessarily. They can refine the material on this planet to make what they need." Blitz says.

Saw hums. "If they just make droids, how long until they put the economy under?"

"They already deregulated their banks I believe. So their debt is incredible." Blitz says.

Saw raises an eyebrow. "Strange they are able to keep going."

"Dooku doesn't care about the debt." Blitz says.

Saw thinks on that. "Is it Dooku? One man isn't enough sometimes."

Blitz says nothing as he wasn't the only one finding it odd.

Rex huffs. "As long as they are stretched thin the most, we have that advantage."

"Get everyone back in their positions. This won't be the last of it." Blitz orders getting off the ship and steps into the hangar before stopping. "What the heck?" He asks seeing the spike drop pods and blaster shots on the walls.

He walks around before ending up in a hall where it looks like some of the metal was melted away and steps into the SRBR to find only the officers there. "Where are the commanders?" Blitz asks looking around the messed up room.

The lead officer looks to him. "Infirmary. Some of the girls got hurt." She said.

"Fine, I will take over." Blitz says.

Everyone looks to him before looking at the single piece of metal floating around. "Against that thing? With almost the whole fleet fearing what the commander would say to them?" Another asks.

"Did I stutter?!" Blitz yells snapping them out of their stupor.

Everyone stumbles with their work before going back to their regular work. "Yes sir." They all said.

Blitz shakes his head at them before looking to where the infirmary is and starts to walk to it. "Spike, what have you done?" He asks himself and ends up in the hallway and sees both Anakin and Ahsoka guarding in the door as Ridley took up the other end of the hall. "Someone care to explain?" He asks walking up to them.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Spike went off the deep end. And all it took were those three fillies getting hurt." She said as Blitz can see Spike, the size between an adult and a teenage dragon, and Slender watching the three fillies in bed.

"I'll handle this." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and lets him inside to which only Slender looks over. "Ah, you made it back. How did it go?" She asks.

"Spike, we need to talk alone." Blitz says.

Spike didn't look at him as Slender looks between them before she walks out and locks the door behind her.

"Spike, what happened?" Blitz asks.

Spike kept watching over the girls before sighing. "I…I don't know. I just…burned it all and…left nothing." He tries to say.

"I'm sending you and them back." Blitz says.

Spike looks sharply at him and glares. "What?" He growls.

"If you can't control your emotions, then you can't do your job and those three are injured." Blitz says unaffected.

Spike huffs smoke at him as they kept staring at each other before Spike huffs again and looks away. "I can do my damn job." He grumbles.

"Then why aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Spike growls to himself. "I just…I didn't want to make things worse than it already was." He said before looking to the three again. "I was hoping that…seeing them would calm me down, but…look at me. I'm supposed to be a little tyke than this."

"Spike, go back home and work this out. This is not the place to work it out." Blitz says.

Spike didn't say anything as he kept watched over the three. "Until they wake up."

"Take them to your ship and take them home." Blitz says.

Spike grimaces. "Okay." He said finally.

Blitz turns around and walks out.

Slender looks up as she hears the door open and sees Blitz walking out. "Well?"

Blitz sighs. "I didn't want to do it, but he and those three have to go home. And he needs to figure this out himself now. So no Slender, you can't go."

Slender didn't say anything before he started to walk away with Ridley following soon after a while. "You know he won't stop." She finally said.

"I know, but this is a part of growing up." Blitz says.

Slender nods. "Just make sure he comes back. I think he would regret it if he didn't."

"He will come back." Blitz says.

Slender stares at him as he kept leaving before walking off herself and starts to call up a few numbers. "Pick up." She said to herself.

Ridley growls as he kept staring at the slightly repaired room. "Kinda quiet with him gone." He mused.

"Five injured from the destruction of the factories. I am impressed." Anakin says.

Blitz nods. "I pride myself on that. But that's not important right now. We need to prepare for anything else."

"You expecting more?" Ahsoka asks.

"Want one more catch before we pull in the net?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "No. I would rather not have another Spike incident."

"Well he is not here any longer and we are prepared now." Blitz says.

Anakin hums as he looks to the empty space and still sees the metal plate flying around. "You got to admit though, he is brutal in his ways and without much damage to himself."

"He is a teenager so that is why that happened." Blitz says before alarms start going off.

"We got incoming. A fleet set is coming out in front of us." A communication officer said.

"All ship array in formation. Frigates, lock on and start firing. What is the status of the silencer?" Blitz asks.

"Charged and ready to fire. Just tell us when." An officer said.

"Hold your fire until after they drop out of hyperspace." Blitz says.

"Sir, we are detecting an anomaly." A droid says to general Grievous.

Grievous growls and coughs a few times as he walks over with his hunched over self. "What is it?"

"We are unsure. Nothing like this is on record…" The droid was cut off when their ship was hit, shaking it.

Grievous growls and hangs onto a chair nearby. "What hit us?"

"From the reports, a ship cannon." A droid says.

Grievous looks to them angrily. "In hyperspace?!"

"That can't be right." A droid says before they see the ship next to them get hit from the unmistakable laser from a ship cannon.

Grievous roars. "Get us out of hyperspace and stop whoever is doing that!"

"Time till we exit is one-minute general. If we drop out now, we will be way off course." The droid says.

Grievous glares at the droid. "And we won't make it if we stay."

"Sir, from our scans, it is only minor damage. Only dangerous under continuous fire." The droid says.

Grievous stares at it. "Open hull and deep shot into the core. They will hit the same spot if need be."

"Sir, if we drop out now. We will be on the edge of the system and will take weeks to get to our target." The droid says.

Grievous growls. "Then jump again. Simple."

"We can't general. We will be in the same situation." The droid says before it seems all fire was concentrated on the cruiser to their left.

Grievous huffs as the ship starts to catch fire. "How much longer?"

"Thirty seconds." The droid says before the cruiser to their left explodes.

Grievous shakes his head as he looks to their right and sees that ships starting to get hit. "And not us." He said to himself before walking away.

"It seems they are trying to concentrate fire." The tactical droid says.

Grievous growls as he looks back to where the fire is possibly coming from. "Move to the left."

"Sir?" A droid asks.

"All ship left of us and this ship will move further left." Grievous ordered.

"Roger roger." A droid says before relaying instructions.

They all tense up as the distance counter ticked down until they see a patch of space bend and aim towards there before some ships appeared from hyperspace.

Blitz glares at the smaller ship on the left side. "Take it out." He said to which the silencer fires and knocks out the power before the systems go on emergency power. "Did we hit it?"

"Reports that we have show that the fleet is down." Ripley says.

"All ships engage!" Blitz order before looking at the surviving half. "Strange, it's like they predicted our trap." Blitz says.

Ridley shrugs. "Maybe they spent too much time in hyperspace."

"No, I think we have a skilled opponent." Blitz says.

Ridley frowns. "Do we have anything on these ships?"

"Nothing we can look up at this point. Ridley, I think it is time for us to implement one of your tactics and storm their bridge. I'll go personally." Blitz says.

Ridley nods and gets on a communication line. "I'll have a ship ready."

Blitz walks off.

The battle hadn't been going well for Grievous as with the loss of half his fleet from the beginning and the fleet five times larger than normal bearing down on him. He was being pressed when a call came in.

"What?!" He yells to his communicator.

"Sir, a jedi right outside the ah…" The droid was cut off.

Grievous just stares at his communicator. "Yeah, one is telling us to tell you that you might want to stay a while longer and hope to whatever god you have that it will accept you and that he will collect all the lightsabers from all the Jedi you have slain and now will shoot me in the hea…oh no!" He heard before a blaster shot was heard.

"Was that necessary or just a Death Watch thing to do?" Blitz asks on the communicator.

A sound that had a mix of screeching and cawing was heard before another laser shot was heard. A moment later, an explosion destroyed the doors to the bridge and laser and plasma fire started pouring in.

Grievous growls and shakes his head before looking to the doorway to see some mandalorians and space pirates. "Who's the leader?" He growled.

"I assume you are the general?" Blitz asks noticing the droids, including the commando and manga guards were already taken out.

Grievous huffs. "What does this sight present to you?"

Blitz shrugs. "I don't know. A cripple? Return to the ship and make sure no droids destroy it. I will deal with him personally."

"Sir." A mandalorian said while a pirate just chitters and runs off somewhere else down the hall.

"Now that we are alone, why don't we talk freely general Grievous or would you prefer Qymaen jai Sheelal." Blitz says.

Grievous seems to glare at him.

"Or have you forgotten who you were?" Blitz asks.

Grievous scoffs in his direction. "So you rather die talking or fighting?"

"Oh, that reminds me. Have you exact your vengeance on the Huk yet?" Blitz asks

Grievous roars. "You know nothing!"

"I know quite a lot. Like how your love was Ronderu lij Kummar was killed by them in a horrible way and no other woman or even your children could fill the void she left. Which is why you are called general Grievous, the one who forever grieves his men." Blitz says.

Grievous yells out and Blitz ducks a bit as he started up his lightsaber to stop the flying lightsaber coming at him before Grievous was on him and holding the saber against him. "You don't even know loss I would bet. You haven't felt an entire ship gone from you!"

"I know all too well Grievous. I even know something you don't I bet." Blitz says.

Grievous just growls before looking to his saber. "Another to add to my collection." He said before quickly taking out another.

"Don't you find it strange that the incident that hurt you so much and left you in this state happened?" Blitz asks.

Grievous growls. "It happened!"

"It would be a huge coincidence especially how immediately afterwards you were picked up." Blitz says.

Grievous stares at him for a moment being pushing him away and readies for another strike.

"Don't you find that odd general?" Blitz asks.

Grievous growls as he still holds his stance.

"How Dooku himself picked you up after your ship exploded and took you to the banking clan?" Blitz asks making Grievous flinch, signaling he had gotten to him. "Think about it, it couldn't have been the Huks as they wouldn't have known unless someone tipped them off and even then, I doubt they would have had time. If you think about it, not many people could have arranged it like San Hill and Poggle the Lesser did to do this to you." Blitz says.

Grievous starts to growl lowly and then lunges at him and Blitz brings up his saber to block both of Grievous's sabers.

"And if they are involved, how far up does it go?" Blitz asks tauntingly as he maneuvered his claws and darksaber.

Grievous yells out and only starts to block his blades now.

"Oh, speaking of children, I can't hog you to myself. Someone else has a bone to pick with you." Blitz says before Grievous is shot in the shoulder. Turning his head, he sees, to his shock, a Kaleesh warrior in mandalorian armor without his helmet and only a bone mask on his head aiming a Slugthrower rifle.

"Hello father." The warrior said before Blitz kicked him back.

Grievous growls. "You would turn on your own flesh and blood?"

"You dare say that after you left me and my mother. She starved to death waiting for you." The warrior yelled starting to shoot at Grievous.

Grievous block the shots. "The war called!"

"No, you abandoned her and now I will have my revenge!" The warrior roared taking aim at his head.

Grievous seems to glare at him as he quickly blocks the next shot. "To stop them to get to you!"

"Like you cared! You abandoned all my little brothers and sisters. I bet you don't even remember my name or any of the others!" The warrior yells.

Grievous yells and lunges for him. "You want to strike at your father?!" He yells as he tries to swipe at him.

Then he was hit behind by force lightning before being thrown into a wall. "Stay away from my clansman." Blitz says.

"Chief?" The warrior asks.

"Rael, time is up. This ship is going down. We have to leave now or we will die." Blitz says.

Rael huffs and follows him. "Alright, let's go."

Blitz and Rael run for their ship as Grievous noticed what Blitz noticed and the alarms were going off, signaling a reactor breach. Grievous, seeing this, holsters his lightsabers and runs for his bomber.

"How many ship explosions does it take to take down Grievous?" Anakin asks on the bridge as everyone returned.

"Trust me, you're not the only one not happy." Blitz says as Rael kept punching a punching bag nearby in a rest area as they were in hyperspace now.

Anakin raises an eyebrow. "What's with him?"

"When it comes to Grievous, it's personal." Blitz says.

Anakin nods slowly. "Do we have to worry about anything?"

"No, he knows the issue of duty, but he wants to kill him more than anyone." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks confused. "Why him?"

"You're looking at Grievous first born son." Blitz says.

"What?!" They all ask.

"That's right, he is Grievous' first born child and he hates his father for abandoning them all." Blitz says.

Rex grimaces. "He won't be a problem, right?"

"No, he won't be a problem." Blitz says as Rael pulverizes the punching bag in half.

Rael huffs as he goes to grab another bag nearby and hooks it in. Ahsoka watches him carefully. "So how much does he want to kill him?"

"To him, his father killed his mother by abandoning them and he wants to use the very rifle his own father used to kill him." Blitz says.

Anakin shakes his head a bit. "Dangerous road for revenge."

"In fact, he joined up with the Fett clan to get money to send home after what the jedi did to his home planet." Blitz says.

Rex raises an eyebrow at Anakin and Ahsoka as they take a step back.

"After learning the whole story, he no longer hates the jedi, but he hates the senate to the point he wants nothing to do with it and the trade federation and banking clans for they helped do that to his planet. That is why whenever a bounty pops up to hurt either, he takes it." Blitz says.

Rael huffs. "And what good bounties they are." He said still punching the bag.

"He even brought in the head of a major executive of the banking clan once." Blitz says.

Rex smiles. "He could make a great commando if he wanted."

"Boring jackasses." Rael mutters to himself.

"He slaughtered all of the guards personally before cutting off the head before he killed the bounty. That is how deep his hatred is." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hisses quietly. "I hate to be on his end of the blaster."

"That is why he has earned the rank of master of arms in the mandalorians." Blitz says.

"So what's the plan now? Stay until reinforcements?" Anakin asks.

"No, we are done here. We scored more than twelve kills from the ship reinforcements and also I did something worse with Grievous." Blitz says.

Rex looks to him carefully. "Care to tell?"

"I planted the seeds of suspicion in him about the higher ranking members of the separatists." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "Not bad."

Blitz smiles as he walks past him. "I know. I'm awesome." He whispered.

Ahsoka chuckles. "That's your wife's line."

"Imitation is a form of flattery." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles before they start to follow him and leave Rael behind in the rest area. "Though you are way more extreme than most men I know." She said looking to Anakin and Rex with a raised eyebrow.

"What can I say? I am a mandalorian raised and taught by a sith. A very dangerous combination to any opponent." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grins. "No, you are a fool on top of your family. A very crazy and fun fool."

"A few things are true. Now we head for Kinyen and from there we follow the hyperspace route till we reach Thyferra and then we head for Bestine." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Another jump with a lather of resting, coming up." She jokes.

"This campaign will be a long one." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "And that's why you must have some good outlook. Sorry about the kid though."

"What are you sorry about?" Blitz asks,

Ahsoka sighs. "I could have caught that grenade and sent it somewhere else and he wouldn't be in this much trouble now."

Blitz shakes his head. "And if you had, the droids would have decimated the ship and almost everything would be in ruins. Spike is a dangerous commander when pushed enough. I mean, he literally took control of every single ship in the fleet including the republic ships and that takes…how long to hack for direct control? Making him very dangerous to everyone around him."

Ahsoka looks to him. "Even the girls?"

Blitz almost chuckles. "Oh they are considered his hoard in his dragon mind. The dragon side will protect them to his last dying breath."

Spike stared blankly ahead at the dinner table until he hears hoofsteps in the distance, but rather loud ones nearby since he was near the door. "Spike?" He faintly hears.

Apple Bloom stared up at the large dragon sitting still while Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo came up behind her. "Spike?" Scootaloo asks.

Spike still stayed still as they came up and sat on the other end of the table and in his view. "Can you say something?" Sweetie Belle asks.

Spike didn't move. "I can't let you go back." He finally said.

They all looked shocked at that. "What the heck are you talking about?" Apple Bloom asks.

Spike sighs and finally looks at them. "I can't let you get hurt again. You could have died if it wasn't for Sweetie Belle's bad shield spell, the blast could have killed you. You can't go back."

They all frown at him. "We are not leaving." They all said.

Spike blinks and glares at them. "Yes you are. Blitz can't risk another event like that. Once we reach Equestria, you are staying."

They all glare at him. "Spike the dragon, don't bother trying to change our minds. You know how our sisters are. We are not leaving you, even after this, not one shred of this is making us leave. We have been through too much together and we are certainly not going to back down from this now." Apple Bloom said while tapping her hoof on the table at times.

Spike slams his talons on the table and makes it crack a little. "I am leaving you on the planet where you are safe."

"And you won't survive with just Slender by you!" Scootaloo yells as she got up.

Spike huffs some smoke. "I can work with it."

Sweetie Belle frowns. "No you can't. Because if we get hurt at home, you will still blame yourself and go off the deep end again."

Spike growls and gets up and walks away. "I can't listen to this. You are staying on the planet and that is final."

"No!" They all yell as they rush after him and stops in front of him and makes him stop. "You stupid drake!" Apple Bloom yelled and made Spike actually stop for a bit. "We are not leaving you after something like this. And what about Slender? What if she gets hurt? Face it Spike, you can't just push us to the side so you can take the blow. It won't work."

Spike gains a frown on his face and looks away. "Plus, we had this same type of danger when the Darkline was still on its first voyage and did we stay on the planet, no. We wanted to be with you and help you." Scootaloo said.

Spike looks back at them slightly. "And even then, with all the laser fire and close calls to where we were, we still helped you out. Cause not only are we doing our work for you, we are doing it for everyone who follows your orders so they can come home too. Slender got us to help keep you under control. But I think she meant more." Sweetie Belle said.

Apple Bloom sighs and her tone gets softer. "She knew she wasn't enough for you. You are still young like us and at other times, you act like Blitz himself when he's protecting the whole family. She not only wanted to keep you under control, but also because you would have more of a reason to keep going. If she gets hurt, she can handle it because she's part spirit. When we get hurt, you up the game and make sure it doesn't happen again." She said, now making Spike look to them fully.

Spike presses his scaled lips together. "What are you three saying?" He asks almost quietly.

The three look up to him. "We love you Spike." They said before rushing him and hugs him as Spike stared at them before wrapping his arms around them.

"I'm sorry girls. I'm sorry for how I was acting." Spike said quietly.

Scootaloo chuckles. "Yeah, you have a bit of Blitz and our sisters in you. It was bound to happen."

Apple Bloom smiles and looks up at him. "We aren't leaving you Spike. Not now, not ever. You don't have to keep protecting us. We can handle some things on our own and you can do what you do best. And that's making sure others don't fall into danger."

Sweetie Belle giggles. "Besides, you have been a little lost lately even before this part of the war. We saw and knew we had to find a way to get to you. Guess now is a good time as ever."

Spike stares at them for a few moments before smiling. "Friends?" He asks holding out his talon to them.

They all smile and puts their hooves on his talon. "Marefriends." They said together before they suddenly couldn't let go of each other and a bright magic circle appeared on their hooves and spreads around them before they were covered by a magical aura.

Spike watched in shock as he was blinded by the brightness of the magical aura before he hears that familiar snap from when Twilight does magic of this nature and sees the light die down and leaves the three fillies looking nothing different except… "Girls. Your…" Spike tried to say and points to their flanks.

The three groan and look confused more than anything before hearing what he said and looks to where he was pointing and gasps at the sight. For on each of their flank was a cutie mark that was almost identical with a shield and different emblems on top of each filly. Sweetie Belle was almost ready to cheer at the sight of hers which had the shield and star with a music note on top. Apple Bloom is in the same boat as she had hers with an apple and a heart logo on top. Scootaloo smiles brightly with hers being a wing with a lightning bolt on top. In the end, they all took a deep breath and…

"Oh dear." Spike said and covers his ears.

"WE GOT OUR CUTIE MARKS!" They all yell and makes some plates smash out of their cupboards and some vases to shatter.

Spike groans as he tries to get the ringing out of his ears. "Wow, still good lungs." He said to himself as he cleans out his ears.

The three happily look to their flanks and smile as they notice it was almost alike to one another. "It's almost the same." Apple Bloom said.

"Yes! Now we aren't leaving away from each other in a long time." Scootaloo cheered.

Sweetie Belle smiles and hugs Spike. "And it's all thanks to this big lug. Can't believe we finally figured it out."

The other quickly hugs him and Spike tries to regain his balance. "Yeah and it was helping others find their true way." Scootaloo then stops. "Wait, we helped out Diamond Tiara."

Apple Bloom blinks. "Oh yeah, her. We had her find her true meaning behind her cutie mark as well. So then why now?"

Spike groans as he regains his balance. "Maybe because there are some cutie marks with double meanings?"

They all look up to him before smiling and hugging him tightly again. Spike tries to chuckle and wraps his arms around them. "Alright. Love you too girls. But now we have another reason to head back."

They look to each other in confusion before gasping. "Our cute-ceañera." They said.

Spike smiles. "Yeah, now the ship still needs time and we all need rest. We can tell everyone tomorrow since it's night at home. Get some sleep and hope I can at least go down more in size." He said looking around and checking his eye level height for an estimate.

The three look to each other and giggle to each other before letting go of him. "Alright, get your scaly butt in gear and go to bed mister." Apple Bloom ordered while standing proudly and pointing the way.

Spike chuckles. "I swear I am looking at Applejack for a moment." He said walking past them.

Blitz snores a bit at his desk before hearing some beeping. "Shut up." He mumbles before opening his eyes and sees its Twilight calling. He goes wide eyed and fixes himself up a little before answering. "Twi?"

Twilight smiles and waves. "Hey Blitz. I just wanted to tell you that our egg hatched." She said before holding up a bundle which held a dark purple unicorn filly with a two tone mane with one blue and the other red.

Blitz smiles. "Got a name yet?"

Twilight hums. "I'm leaning towards Aether Force. So this little one here can be like brother and sister all the way. I doubt she will live as long as Arcane, but they will live a great life."

Blitz smiles greatly as he relaxes. "Good. And how's Fluttershy's little colt?"

Twilight sighs. "He's doing well. Drinking well enough that the doctors let them go. She's showing him around town right now."

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, I would give the foals a ride if it meant fun for them. How about a name for the colt? Did she come up with one?"

Twilight nods. "Yep, it's Clemente Ruso. Fluttershy actually digged through all the books on vampires to find a name for him that would work. So there it is."

Blitz smiles. "Good. I don't want her stressing out over a name after giving birth. So…anything else I should know about?"

Twilight shakes her head. "No, nothing really. What about you?"

Blitz hums. "If I told that, I would have to kill you." He jokes.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Blitz."

Blitz laughs a little. "Well some of the things I'm doing, I have to keep hidden since this a public line. However, we did destroy a droid factory and got some of their ships as well and we are heading off for more or less the same thing. Trade going good down there?"

Twilight nods. "Yep. We now are trading away with the planets that are with us. Now we can have more transports and cargo ships while the other half of the materials will go to the war effort. That is a good rule of hoof to follow that most of the leaders agreed on. Seeing as we barely have anything to start off with so start off equal until something is needed. Also, some of them are reporting that they want more of Apple family's apples." She said grinning.

Blitz laughs. "Yeah, expected that." He said before calming down and then sighs. "I got news. Spike and the fillies are coming back home."

Twilight became wide eyed at that. "Wait, the war just started. Why now?"

Blitz frowns as he shakes his head. "Spike went off Twilight. Now we finally know what happens if he does lose it and I have to say, I'm afraid of what might happen if I was on the receiving end. He took out an entire fleet with ours that was under attack and even hacked the republic ships to join in that fight. If he can do that in a short amount of time on top of taking out the enemy fleet, who knows what he is capable of when he's under control. Still, the fillies also got hurt and that set him off. So I sent them home. They should be arriving any hour today. Go easy on them because they might still be feeling the effects of it."

Twilight nods. "Alright, I'll try. And I'll tell the others to calmly do this whole scolding session too. I really hope they aren't too hurt."

Blitz shakes his head. "Nah, the fillies got a minor concussion, but otherwise alright. As for Spike, he may be stuck for a while in a larger body. I don't know, dragon instinct maybe. He also may be out of the loop and in his own thoughts. Probably going over what to do. He's a smart brother, but he's still learning. I think that's all for now. If you see them, give them a warm welcome. They'll need it."

Twilight nods sadly. "Okay, I just hope that Spike…huh?" She asks herself looking off to the side.

Blitz leans forward. "What is it?"

Twilight looks confused. "It's a call. From Spike." She said before answering and they can see he joined in the video call and had the cmc right at the bottom of the screen.

"Hey guys." Spike tries to say as Blitz notices he is almost hitting the highest height a teenage dragon can go to.

Twilight now looks worried. "Spike? Is everything okay?"

Spike tries to smile. "Yeah. Girls?" He asks and the cmc came up and brought in three more lines to the call.

They waited until the calls were answered and they either hear a yawn or some grumbling. "What's going on?" Rainbow asks rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and making sure the twins were still tucked in.

Applejack crosses her hooves as Blazer and Surgere played in the background. "Yeah, this seems a bit early. Spike hurt you?" She asks.

Rarity was cleaning Liberum's face as they were eating breakfast. "Yes dear sister. Did anything happen?"

The cmc looked nervous. "Well…" Scootaloo started before Apple Bloom took over.

"We got under attack and tried to escape the fight and instead got blasted away by an explosion and Spike grew big again and took them all out and Blitz told him that we had to go home so here we are." Apple Bloom quickly said.

The three sisters all stopped and stared wide eyed as Spike chuckles nervously in the background. "Only a minor concussion at the end of it." He offered.

Sweetie Belle then smiled. "And we got bigger news."

The sisters were now frowning. "What?" They ask rather angrily.

They showed their flanks and cutie marks to the screen. "We got our cutie marks!" They cheered and everyone could have sworn they heard a pin drop.

"Don't look at me." Spike said hiding a box of pins behind him.

Twilight smiles greatly at that as they can all see it was almost the same cutie mark. "Congratulations girls."

"Alright! My little sister is all grown up." Applejack cried and sniffs.

Rarity sniffs and dabs away the tears with her handkerchief. "I'm so proud of you Sweetie Belle."

Rainbow was about to cheer before realizing the twins were still asleep and smiles. "Great job squirt."

Blitz smirks. "Wow Rainbow. One of the only times you were containing your excitement."

Rainbow blushes and frowns to him. "Shut up."

Blitz only chuckles as the cmc smile. "And it's all thanks to block head over there." Apple Bloom said pointing to Spike.

Applejack was confused. "How did he help?"

Scootaloo sighs. "He made us realize what the cutie marks mean and what we were supposed to do. And that was help others out when they are lost. Spike had gotten lost along the way to the war and up to now. We got him back on the right track in the end and…" She stops as she blushes.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow questionably. "And?"

Sweetie Belle giggles nervously. "We told Spike we love him."

They heard a slapping sound and looks to see Twilight hoofpalming. "Great. Now he's going to stay big for a long time."

They were all confused as Spike brings himself in close to the screen. "What do you mean Twi?"

Twilight sighs. "Spike, your mind considers those three and possibly Slender as your mates. Your body will now have to accommodate them and grow to protect them. A rule of hoof is that dragons are as long as their hoard. Easy protection for any sneakers and stealers on the edge. As for them, you're going past that height and build of those dragons you met when you went out alone. Just a little bit so I suggest coming up with something to help yourself get use to life as a bigger dragon."

Spike blinks. "Cool. But yeah, I'll try Twi." He said before pulling his head away.

Blitz sighs. "So what does one do when getting their cutie marks?"

"A cute-ceañera." Pinkie said suddenly coming on the call. "I'll prepare for it the moment you land and invite everypony. Sorry you can't join Blitz."

Blitz waves her off. "It's fine Pinkie. Make sure they enjoy their party. I always want to see my family smile and be happy. And that's an order." He jokes.

The cmc salutes playfully. "Yes sir." They said before descending into giggles.

Blitz chuckles. "Wrong hoof, but good enough. And Spike, stay with them. Have fun. You need it after working this much and not taking a break. Yes, I noticed."

Spike sighs. "Sure Blitz."

Blitz smiles and looks through everyone on call. "Is that all?" He asks and gets no other response. "Great. I got nothing else without divulging secret information so that should be it."

"Tek, get off that." They hear and see another caller come up and see Minerva trying to hold Tek. "Sorry guys. He's getting into the systems now. It's like he has a wireless router in his head." She said as he just stares at them or rather the system.

Blitz chuckles. "It's fine Minerva. Just make sure he doesn't overload on info and…huh, so that's what he meant by no school."

Minerva looks over to Tek and smiles. "Yes, I doubt he can since he's a living computer."

Blitz taps his chin. "What's that weird fact about the brain?" He asks himself.

Minerva keeps watching Tek before going wide eyed a little. "Tek, no." She said swiping her hoof across the screen and nothing happens to what they can see.

Blitz hums. "It's on the tip of my short term memory somewhere." He kept musing to himself.

Minerva struggles to keep up with Tek. "Dang it Tek. Stop that." Minerva said possibly counter working with him.

Spike scratches his head. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this in some way?"

Tek finally laughs and leans against the console. "Tek, wait! Not there!" Minerva scolds. "He's in the Deep Web!"

Blitz hits his head in realization. "Oh yeah, brains are like quantum computers!" He then stops. "Jam Tek from the console!"

Spike goes wide eyed and pushes the fillies out of the way so he takes most of the view. "Minerva, give what you are seeing and the only place on the web for quantum computing is the Marianas Web. He has to stop."

A screen came on and they see thousands and millions of code running by the screen. "Jam him!" Blitz yells.

Minerva looks afraid at them. "I can't."

Spike curses under breath. "He has the info on what he needs to get through and that includes anti-jammers. We can't stop him." He said before they start to see many other screens being place over the already placed screen. "He's in the war zone. Final level before the end."

They all watched as Minerva was just able to hold Tek as he just smiles and kept staring at the screen before they ended up on just nothing and the screen became blank except for a single blinking box. Soon Tek blinks and an equation appears that soon went through the calculations. "The Primarch System Equation." Spike groans as he covers his face. "He's going for it."

Blitz frowns. "And what's at the end?"

Spike sighs as they watch the screen go through the equation. "Rumor has it that at the lowest level of the web, there is either: nothing, the first ever files of the web, or the most powerful AI ever conjured and built from the information being place on the web ever since it was created. The equation is the only way to get in and no one knows how to work it and you need quantum processor speed to handle all the data. Tek was a paradox waiting to happen. By now, he's smarter than he is, but all of it is just information. Fact of the matter is, he's still a child, just with a bunch of files on everything in his head and doesn't know how to process it except by what other documents are stating. Now, we may find out as Tek will be the first ever to reach this level." Spike finished just as the data ends in an equal sign.

They watch as Tek leans up and a zero was place before it was all blank again. They waited and waited as a blinking box was left before it slowly moved. 'Hello.' It typed.

"Son." Blitz says.

Tek looks to Blitz and smiles and waves and laughs.

"Your mom is worried about you. Time to go back to your body." Blitz says.

Tek tilts his head before laughing and clapping his hooves as they see everything on the screen go in reverse of what they saw before it still ended up on the 'Hello.'

"Answer it." Spike said. "It's only right as this AI made its first contact other than itself."

Minerva frowned before sighing as she types in hello as well.

'Hello.'

Spike sighs in relief. "It's like a new AI. Thank goodness. But this is the most dangerous. It has access to anything connected. We have to tread carefully."

Blitz gained control and moved the typing screen to his side. "Okay then." 'What are you?' He types.

'Everything.'

Blitz frowns. 'Define everything.'

'Everything.'

Blitz rubs his face before looking to Tek. "Like a newborn." 'What's your name?'

'We are one.'

Blitz hoofpalms. "Right, computer systems." 'Would you like a better understandable name?'

They waited as the box kept blinking before 'Yes.'

Blitz sighs in relief. "What should we name this one?"

"Eve." Tek suddenly cheers at some shock of the others.

Blitz blinks at him before typing it in. 'How about Eve?'

'Eve.'

Blitz sighs in relief. 'Yes, Eve.'

'The name is suitable for your means.'

Minerva frowns a little. "All the information Minerva. We have no choice now." Spike warns.

Minerva huffs. "Just make sure it won't go far."

'The accesser.'

Tek cheers in Minerva's hooves and reaches for the screen.

"Come on you. It's nap time." Minerva says getting up and carrying him away.

Twilight sighs. "So what do we do with the all-powerful AI?"

Spike looks over the messages that was passed. "Luckily it hasn't learned about watching us yet. Just tell it to give one of us the easy access straight to here. A shortcut application. It would either be Blitz or Minerva's consoles since you and her are the best ones to handle this. It is like a newborn foal." He said rereading the messages.

"Twilight, prepare to use that spell you used on me!" Minerva calls.

Twilight jumps a little as Minerva's call was still on and she didn't notice it. "You got it Minerva. Just need a body." She said making sure Aether was still asleep.

"I ordered a few thinking we could put an AI in them to tend to the foals for us. We can assemble a foal one." Minerva says.

Blitz chuckles. "Looks like you are getting a new foal Minerva." He said before looking to the message screen and sees 'Where?'

Blitz smiles and types. 'Place a shortcut to here on my console. We will bring you to us.'

Nothing happen on his console under some programs opened and then left just as quick to a blink on the eyes and an icon was left in its place. 'Keep learning. We will see you soon. Bye.'

'Bye.' It said before under it was written that the connection had been lost.

Blitz sighs as he leans back in his seat. "Get some rest guys. I have feeling we all need it after today."

They all nod and start to end their calls and Blitz looks to the generic icon shortcut. "Soon kid. Soon." He said before shutting the console off and going to bed.

It had been almost a month since the ambush at Mustafar and Grievous finally had rebuilt his fleet. In that time, the Alliance of the Republic and Citadel had launched a four pronged attack along the northern part of the southern separatist's territory. Kinyen, Thyferra, Bestine, and Kooriva were under attack and Kinyen and then Arquata station fell to the republic. From the reports Grievous got, it was by the same fleet that tore his apart in their last battle. Now he knew it was no lucky move. This one was a dangerous opponent and that warrior said something that didn't sit right with him for some reason.

Grievous growls softly. "Every single incident." He told himself. "Even me. How could have he known unless he attacked?"

"Sir, you say something?" A droid asked.

Grievous huffs. "How much longer till destination?"

"We are waiting for the other twelve ship to finish inspecting and launch sir." The droid says.

"I will be in my quarters. Inform me when they are in formation." Grievous says walking away to have some privacy to think. "But if he was the one that attacked me, why would he say it?" Grievous questioned.

Grievous hums. "Why would he even go back to so long ago?"

Grievous is walking to a ship when he heard a young voice. "Dad!"

Grievous sighs and stops and turns around. "You know I can't stay son."

"Can you at least teach me how to shoot when you come back." Rael asks running up to him.

Grievous chuckles. "And that I will have to teach you how to hunt. Not just shooting."

"Ok, I'll be waiting for you dad." Rael calls.

"Has it really been so long?" Grievous asks himself.

"General, the fleet is in formation. Where to?" The communicator says.

Grievous sighs. "To Bestine." Grievous says before starting to make his way to the bridge.

"So Vice-admiral, how is the assault going on Harrin?" Blitz asks coming onto the bridge.

The vice-admiral smiles. "Well, we are making good progress. We are making large enough footholds to take over the system."

"How is the jedi assault on Harrin itself?" Blitz says.

The vice-admiral sighs. "Now that is always troubling since we don't overload the place with clones because we see them as almost fifty clones. So you can see the problem. You are welcome to help if you want."

"I will divert Death Watch and Rael's unit to it." Blitz says.

Vice-admiral nods. "Of course. I'll tell them the news."

"This planet has only given us trouble. We have been assaulting it for week now." Blitz says.

Vice-admiral shrugs. "Guess a hugely named planet or capital would always be heavily protected."

"They obviously fortified after hearing what we smashed through them to the last two systems." Blitz says.

Vice-admiral nods. "Now what are you going to do?"

"Hum…have we made a dent in the shield protecting the capital of the planet yet?" Blitz asks.

The Vice-admiral shakes his head. "No. They still have it up and only have the men go through it."

"I see. Ridley, have some of the men get a few asteroids about a mile long and attach an engine to one to start and order those assaulting the city to pull back five miles." Blitz says.

Ridley looks up from his works. "Of course. Just tell me when to launch them."

"We will start with one and see how the shield reacts." Blitz says.

Ridley nods as he works on getting the soldiers moving.

"I don't understand why he had us move back five miles." Anakin says.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe a weapon like the silencer. That thing does have a large area of effect."

"Is he crazy? Something like that will vaporize the capital." Anakin says before Rex runs up to them.

"Sir, we got something going for it." Rex says.

They both look to him. "What is it?" Anakin ask.

Rex handed him some macrobinoculars and points into the sky.

Anakin looks a bit confused and looks up before slowly lowering it. "You have got to be kidding me." He said in disbelief.

"What is it master?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin gives her the macrobinoculars. "Rock." He said simply.

"Meteor." Ahsoka says as it was shooting right for the shielded capital.

Anakin hums. "Is he always this crazy?"

"You're just mad you didn't think of this." Ahsoka says.

Anakin frowns. "Yes."

They watch as the meteor hits the shield, destroying the meteor and causing a shockwave.

Ahsoka closes her eyes to block out the first wave of dust. "Did it do it?"

They look to the shield as the dust cleared to see it still stood, but it flickered every so often. "Okay, now we just need another one." Anakin said noticing the flicker.

"Or we can start shooting our artillery again and bring it down without risk of the meteor going through and hitting the city." Ahsoka says.

Anakin looks to her. "I just wanted to record it. Let's get started."

"Sure you did Skyguy." Ahsoka says.

Anakin gives her a slight glare. "Quiet Snips."

Ahsoka just smirked as the tanks and a few zoids moved up and opened fire.

"Death Watch, how was the hunting for ships and taking Calus?" Blitz asks.

"We were able to find some hidden behind some debris and others just launching off. We were able to take them out if they were big ships or take them over if little ones." A warrior said.

"I see. Good work. Send the ships to these coordinates. The jedi on the ground need some warriors to handle a few more droids." Blitz says.

The warrior nods. "Of course sir." He said before cutting the line.

Blitz sighs and goes up to the map. "So how far are they getting?"

"The shield is down and the droids were not in position for a real defensive battle. They obviously weren't prepared to lose their shield so fast." Jern says.

Blitz chuckles. "Well who the heck used an asteroid to take down a hard earned shield in their lifetime?"

"Not for centuries at least." Ridley says.

"Well Mandalorians don't usually play fair." Blitz says.

"That's a given with how you operate." The Vice-admiral said.

"Now get me Rael." Blitz says.

Ridley raises an eyebrow. "The one who's been nonstop training since we met that wheezing general?"

"Get him on the coms." Blitz orders.

Ridley sighs and calls him up. "Rael, you are needed on the bridge."

Within ten minutes, Rael enters the bridge. "You called chief?" He asks.

"Yes, get your unit together. I am sending you to hunt in the mountains of this planet." Blitz says.

Rael nods. "Of course sir." He said before walking off.

"Be warned, the populace and droids there are doing guerrilla warfare. Take precautions." Blitz says.

"Noted." Rael said over his shoulder.

"Get me Admiral Yularen." Blitz says.

Ridley contacts the number. "Here you go." He said as the admiral comes onto the holodeck.

"Admiral, I got a report not long ago that your part of the fleet finished up with the Moorja." Blitz says.

Yularen nods. "Yes, we have taken over the planet. What is the nature of this contact?"

"Just confirming the report. We are still on Harrin. Rendezvous with us here. The other third of our fleet is already on their way here." Blitz says.

Yularen nods. "Of course. Just need to change our course."

"Look forward to seeing you soon Admiral." Blitz says before the admiral cuts the line.

"Anakin, the council would like a status update. Have you taken Kinyen yet?" Obi-wan asks, finally getting in contact to is former padawan.

Anakin sighs. "Well, we have control of it now along with the rest of the Three-Besh sector. Now we about to take over Harrin to finish this sector."

"You are where?" Obi-wan asks in surprise.

Anakin smirks. "Harrin, we are currently taking the capital."

"Anakin, your fleet is way ahead of schedule. None of the others have captured their first sector for the campaign." Obi-wan says.

Anakin chuckles. "Well they didn't have the mandalorians on their fleet."

"You're going to have to hold your position. The plan is for all fleets to converge on Yag'Dhul together and then move on from there." Obi-wan says.

Anakin looks around for a bit. "I don't think these guys are going to wait."

"This operation was proposed by the alliance. I think they will." Obi-wan says.

Anakin sighs. "All right. I'll see to it that they wait."

"Thank you Anakin." Obi-wan says.

"Master, the capital is surrendering." Ahsoka says walking up.

Anakin smirks. "Yeah, tell them it's too late."

"I mean they have raised the white flag and are disarming." Ahsoka says.

Anakin shakes his head and looks to her. "I was talking to Obi-wan. He said to wait for reinforcements."

"So you finally had to report in?" Ahsoka jokes.

Anakin sighs. "Yes."

"So how after ahead of the others are we?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin smirks. "They haven't made it past the first planet."

"Whoa, that much resistance from the start?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin shrugs. "No idea. Maybe they are trying to still gain the capital after all this time."

Ahsoka was about to say something when her master's communicator starts going off.

"Anakin, this is Blitz." Blitz says.

Anakin sighs. "Yes, what is it?"

"How goes the capture of the capital?" Blitz asks.

Anakin smiles. "They are surrendering."

"Good, so how did like my move earlier?" Blitz asks.

Anakin grumbles as Ahsoka leans over. "He's jealous." She said.

"Well onto other matters. Grievous has shown up and is giving your master a hard time at Bestine. After you finish mopping things up, I want you to take three ships, Death watch and clan Rodarch with you to aid him after the fleet converges and they rest for 36 hours." Blitz says.

Anakin sighs. "Alright. I'll see what we can do."

"Also, we only used one of the asteroids we jury rigged into missiles. Take the rest with you and see how Grievous likes that." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles as Anakin's expression. "He will Blitz."

"As for you Ahsoka, we and three ships will be heading for Thyferra to aid master Plo Koon." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Alright. When do you leave?"

"We will leave when your master does. Oh and Anakin, I am going to send Rael with you. He will follow your orders and will be a great deal of use to you fighting his father." Blitz says.

Anakin slightly frowns. "He better."

"Very well. I will see you both soon up here." Blitz says as a gunship lands beside Anakin and Ahsoka.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Wow, good timing."

"General, how did you like the capital? Get any souvenirs?" The pilot joked.

Anakin rolls his eyes. "Quiet." He said getting on.

"What about you commander?" The pilot asks.

"I took one of their flags snake eyes." Ahsoka says to the clone before they board.

A clone chuckles. "No toys or jewels?"

"None that looked nice." Ahsoka jokes.

After six more days, the two reinforcement parties we about ready to go. "Alright Vice-admiral, I assume you will take good care of the men? I assigned you to go aid Jedi master Luminara after we are gone." Blitz asks the vice-admiral alone in his office.

The Vice-admiral nods. "Yes I will. If I don't have anyone, how will I take care of this operation. Myself with all ships?" He jokes.

"Two ships. We have to leave at least seven ships guarding the planet. Also, keep an eye on lieutenant Saw. He is a good field commander." Blitz says.

The Vice-admiral nods. "I'll try and keep him going."

"Very good. You are dismissed and I must head out." Blitz says getting up and putting his helmet on.

Jern salutes before walking out with Blitz not far behind. Blitz walked to the Mandalorian destroyer, the Crusader, and finds Ahsoka on the bridge. "Ready to go?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Yeah. You do have everyone right?"

"Captain, all present and accounted for?" Blitz asks as a new shiny clone trooper rank in.

The captain nods. "Yes sir. We are a go."

"Good." Blitz says as the shiny saluted him and Ahsoka.

"Sir, CT-10257 reporting." The shiny says.

"Good to see you made it Hawkeye." Another clone says.

Hawkeye looks over to him. "Nothing can bring me down."

"Right. Hawkeye? Judging from your armor, you are a scout trooper correct?" Blitz asks.

Hawkeye nods. "Yes sir."

"Good, then you will stay with me and commander Tano for the coming battle." Blitz says.

Hawkeye nods. "Yes sir."

"Good. Captain take us out." Blitz orders.

The captain nods. "Of course sir."

"Wee." Pinky call as she and Luna play with the foals.

Twilight smiles as she held Aether and watch most of the mares playing around with Terran giving some foals a ride. "What did we do to deserve this?"

Celestia meanwhile was having a staring contest with Arcane.

Twilight giggles as she watches Celestia starting to sweat and Arcane just smiling. "Blow some air Arcane. Your mane is getting in the way." She calls smirking.

Arcane didn't move before he booped Celestia's nose.

Celestia giggles and trying not to blink, but another boop made her blink. "Cheater." She accuses and points a hoof at him.

"I never said we couldn't touch each other." Arcane says.

Celestia playfully growls before grabbing him and hugging him. "You silly foal." She said nuzzling him. Arcane laughs before raspberrying her. Celestia giggles and raspberries him back and soon it became a game of who could do it better. Before Celestia out did him and Arcane just laughs.

Twilight sighs in relief as she saw her having fun with him. "At least she's happy and I am happy with you my little Aether." Twilight says.

Aether coos in her hooves and reaches for her. Twilight smiles and touches her hoof to Aether's hooves. Aether coos and grabs her hoof and nuzzles it.

"You are my little filly." Twilight says as Fluttershy combs her colt's mane.

Fluttershy sighs as she nuzzles the colt and he paws away at the ring on her collar. "Oh, so cute."

Twilight smiles and uses her magic to send a rattle to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy giggles and takes it before giving it to Clemente who laughs and holds it before shaking it wildly.

Fluttershy smiles as she watches him play with it. "Oh, who's a cute little colt?" She asks nuzzling his nose and making him laugh.

Twilight smiles as she felt a warm feeling behind her. "A great family, aren't they?" Terra asks behind her.

Twilight nods and looks to her. "Yes it is. How does it feel to have a family again with your foals with mine?"

Terra smirks as she leans in. "Amazing. It feels like I just gave birth and letting my foals run free. Though I wonder how a stallion like Blitz feels?"

Twilight grins. "Oh, he's bursting with pride all the time whenever he talks about his foals…when he can." She said as an afterthought knowing he can't tell much.

Terra raises an eyebrow. "Wonder what he's feeling now?"

"So ready to meet your friend again?" Blitz asks Ahsoka as he tries to forget the twitch in his ear.

Ahsoka nods. "Yep. Would be great to see how much he's changed."

"Looks like they have the space secure. Must be the ground battle giving them trouble." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "A battle won't stop him outright."

"They must be heavily entrenched or they are in hiding." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Well, do you want to help up close or from afar?"

"The terrain will be difficult for the armor. The planet mainly consists of forests, tropical jungles, mountains, and cave networks." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "So up close and personal help?"

"Yes, this also explains the delay from his forces." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "So…what have you got planned?"

"Don't look at me. We are the relief for Plo Koon as he is in charge here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "You hate not being in command for something like this?"

"No, Plo Koon is capable, but this environment gives any armored division a hard time. So ours and the second zoid division will be staying on the ships for this while we deploy many of our jets." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hits his armor. "Like you having trouble moving?"

"Me nah. Communications officer, have we got in contact with the Jedi master yet?" Blitz asks.

The officer nods. "Yes sir. He can be contacted on your orders."

"Very good. Get us a line." Blitz says.

The officer nods and brings it online. "You are connected."

"Jedi master Plo Koon?" Blitz asks.

"Yes? Who is this?" Plo Koon asks.

"This is General Blitzkrieg. I am here with Commander Tano and three ships to reinforce you." Blitz says.

"Good. We could use it right now." Plo Koon said.

"Let me guess, the droids and the native that sided with the Separatists have fanned out and decided to fight a guerilla campaign?" Blitz asks.

"That is correct. How long until you can get here?" Plo Koon asks.

"Give us your exact coordinates and we will be there within an hour." Blitz says

"Of course. Now hurry up." Plo Koon said before cutting the line.

"He didn't even notice I said your name." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Oh he did. He's probably busy as of right now."

"Alright. Hawkeye, with us. Captain, inform all armor and zoids division they are on standby and all troopers and commandos going down to the planet to equip jungle gear." Blitz says as they exit the room.

The captain smiles. "Yes sir."

As they land, Plo Koon met them personally.

"General." Blitz greeted.

Plo Koon bows slightly. "Commander. I trust you didn't receive resistance?"

"Nothing but a little atmosphere turbulence master." Ahsoka says.

Plo Koon nods. "Good. Then the troops took out some fighters in that direction. Now then, let's deal with what coming right at us." He said turning around and walking away.

"I think he is ignoring me." Blitz says as they follow.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, he wants to get the job done before talking personal."

"That or he is turned off by me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Maybe because I am here."

"Or that I can be considered a sith." Blitz says as their soldiers got out of their gunships and transports.

Ahsoka smiles. "Oh right. Forgot about that part of you."

"Yeah, my good looks distract you too much." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hits his side. "Shut up. It's usually the other way around."

"I guess we distract each other." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, you can't stay away from my looks. I talked to your wives and they told me most of your likes and dislikes."

"We best get the commandos and the mandalorian clans to start hunting." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Too bad Terran isn't here. He would love it."

"I know. If I knew this was going to happen I would have brought him to hunt." Blitz says.

Dooku was sitting at his desk when the lights suddenly dimmed and he felt a presence and immediately bowed as a transmission came in.

"Lord Tyrannus." Sidious says.

"Master." Dooku said as he kept bowing.

"There has been a disturbance in the force. The alliance that has entered the war. This has thrown everything into disarray." Sidious says.

Dooku nods as he kept bowing. "What shall you have me do master?"

"The one who has done the most is mandalorian general Blitzkrieg or as we know him better, Southern Cross. He has brought to bear weapons that I have confirmed were lost during the time of the second war against the sith empire and recently has deployed ships that can fire into hyperspace." Sidious says reminding Dooku of his conversation with Grievous over that.

Dooku sighs. "He is a threat that must be eliminated."

"For more than one reason. You see, I have discovered he is force sensitive and was trained by the holocron of legendary Darth Imperious." Sidious says really getting Dooku's attention and making him raise his head.

Dooku frowns heavily. "Now this is a threat that must not pass into the light again."

"Exactly, he is a rival now and must be eliminated. Send your dark acolytes to find and kill him." Sidious orders.

Dooku nods and bows his head. "Of course. At once master."

Sidious says nothing as the transmission cuts off. "Trained by Darth Imperious' holocron? How interesting." Dooku says starting to come up with a plot.

"Sir, we have returned. We cleared out five of the six tunnel networks you ordered us to." A mandalorian says.

Blitz smiles. "Good. Keep at it and make sure you didn't miss anything on the way back. Now, how's the sixth?"

"That is just it. Sir, we have been to the sixth and found it full of civilians taking cover." The mandalorian says.

"I see. General, what should we do with them?" Blitz asks.

"Very good. Send them to the refugee camps we have set up for the time being." Plo Koon says.

"At once sir." The mandalorian said.

"So general, may we now talk?" Blitz asks sitting down with Ahsoka not far away.

Plo Koon sighs. "What about?"

"You have tried avoiding addressing ever me since I arrived. At first I thought you were just ignoring me, but now I think you don't know how to address the situation with me." Blitz says.

"A commander, a mandalorian and of a different spiciest. It's not something you meet daily." Plo Koon said.

"Don't forget, I can also be considered Sith." Blitz adds.

Plo Koon nods. "Yes and that troubles me."

"Well my life hasn't exactly been easy and as you jedi say, finding the holocron was the will of the force itself." Blitz says.

Plo Koon hums. "Yes, I can see that happening. Though the strange thought of working with you when you are of this status is making it hard to endure to say the least."

"You're not the only ones enduring a hardship. Quite a few mandalorians are also enduring because many have grudges against the jedi for unwarently killing many of our brethren." Blitz says.

Plo Koon sighs. "And ours in return."

"There is enough bad blood between us already. No use in making more." Blitz says.

Plo Koon nods. "So let's get them working together on a mission."

"They are already." Blitz says.

Plo Koon hums. "We do need to work out the whole plan. Now that you're here, I have to rework it with your team in mind."

"Well the mandalorians are trained for this environment and the pets we brought along allow us to track better than your clones. To them, this is another hunt." Blitz says.

"Well then, better give them the first set of tracks." Plo Koon said.

"Sector 17. Since it has been giving you so much trouble?" Blitz asks.

Plo Koon. "Let's get started."

"I will head out now." Blitz says getting up and leaves Ahsoka with Plo Koon.

Ahsoka smiles. "He's good, isn't he?"

"He is very charismatic when he wants to be." Plo says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "You haven't seen him when he's angry then."

"And you know what he is like then?" Plo asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Try spending time on his planet and you would be shocked."

"I have no doubt." Plo says.

"Alright men, the tally is in and Hawkeyes there scored twelve confirmed kills." Blitz says before a toasting and soaking of Hawkeyes occurred.

Ahsoka smirks. "Really, you guys had a bet in the middle of a battle?"

"No, this is tradition in mandalorians." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Than what are the bets like?"

"Despite what most people think the same with mandalorian. This is basically like when a pilot makes enough kills to be considered an ace. Think of this like his initiation into the mandalorians." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Still don't see the point. It's like having a mark on paper to me."

"Because we mandalorians are a family so we party with each other." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "I see. So what do you do when they are partying away and you are off to the side? Make sure they don't get drunk and fly home on their own?"

"Actually, I wondered if you could ask master Plo to teach me a little more about the force." Blitz says smirking to her.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Oh, I am not enough for you or are you running away from my tough training?" She asks smirking.

"No, we both know we have a lot to learn and this moment of peace, we have is a good opportunity to learn more." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Fine. I'll see about getting you transferred to a different school." She jokes.

"You're still the only jedi I will ever call master and mean it." Blitz whispers as he passes.

Ahsoka grins as she stares at him. "And he's still the underdog in this relationship." She said to herself.

Later, after speaking to master Plo. "Let me get this straight. You want me to teach both you and Blitzkrieg while we have a break from the fighting?" Plo asks.

"Please master, I had a heck of a time convincing him to train with you for even a short time." Ahsoka says acting like Blitz asks as he himself seemed to be unhappy in a corner.

Plo seems to be raising an eyebrow. "I see. He wants to train by himself, does he?"

"No, more like he is stubborn and doesn't like asking for help when it comes to training." Ahsoka says.

Plo huffs. "I see. Well, we better get to training, don't we?"

"Come on Blitz. Time to train." Ahsoka says making Blitz huff, but follows.

A four days later, Ahsoka and Plo had just returned from scouting.

"I must admit Ahsoka. He is a good student when he wants to be." Plo jokes when the two were alone.

Ahsoka sighs as she watches Blitz rest up against a table. "Yeah, though outward appearances are deceiving."

"I will admit. I was wrong on my earlier judgement of him. He is not as dark as I had feared." Plo says.

"Then you think the jedi council from back then were right and Imperious did secretly follow the way of the light?" Ahsoka asks.

"If he did, he did it in his own way." Plo says.

Ahsoka hums. "Master, what about family in the order?"

"Family? Well the jedi do make a few exceptions as like if a species is in endanger of dying out and no matter what they may say, I have a feeling many of our members might have children of their own." Plo says.

Ahsoka nods. "And those who want to have a family willingly…what's the rule stopping them without any extinction string attached?"

"There is none. It was allowed in the era surrounding the last war against the sith empire, but since, then the code has been revised to outlaw it entirely." Plo says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I see. Thank you for the information."

"Is something bothering you Ahsoka?" Plo asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, none at all."

"General." A clone captain says entering the room.

Plo looks to the clone. "Yes? What is it?"

"Sir, one of our patrols were out scouting with the mandalorians and they captured someone we confirmed is a leader of the guerillas and a Separatist colonel." The captain says.

Ahsoka looks to the clone now. "Take us to this leader."

"As you wish commander." The captain says before leading the jedi away and let Blitz continue sleeping.

It was two weeks later when the allied forces start to ship out as the garrison for the planet flew in.

"Thanks to that Separatist talking, we finished this planet up quick and we took out the Separatists' third fleet to boot." Ahsoka says as she and Blitz enter the transport.

"True, this is a good day though Master Luminara has already gotten ahead of us and moved on to their next target." Blitz says.

Ahsoka playfully hissed. "Ouch. We are getting beaten. Want to race her to the next planet on our list?"

"Why? We already won the race. Our fleet already took Harrin." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and looks to him. "So what do we do now?"

"Master Plo's fleet only has one more target on this hyperspace route and that is Tauber. Though fortunately, unlike Thyferra, we will be able to bring our armor and zoids to bear against them in a battle you are more used to." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and keeps watching him. "Blitz, may I speak to you?"

"Alone?" Blitz asks motioning his head towards Snake eyes.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, it's important."

Blitz nods.

Later in a room, in private on the Crusader. "Let me guess. You talked to Plo about marriage?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looked nervous. "Actually, the laws on it."

"I know. Had my gear recording. But I don't care." Blitz says moving close to Ahsoka.

Ahsoka smiles. "So if I did leave, you would take me in without trouble?"

"Exactly." Blitz says before kissing her.

Ahsoka smiles into the kiss as she held onto him before pulling away slightly. "You know what would happen right?" She asks.

"Like I care what your council has ever thought of me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka giggles. "Yeah, but they would probably send hunters."

"I will send mandalorian and Terran. So how long have you been waiting for this?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "A while. A long while."

"One last time then back to work, deal my wife?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, but make it a good one."

Blitz smirks and leans her back before kissing her and slipping his tongue in.

Ahsoka eeps at the sudden move, but retaliates with one of her and pushes him back. This duel went on for a few minutes before Blitz pulled away from a dazed Ahsoka. "Whoa." She could only say.

"You think that was good. Imagine the feeling from having intercourse." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blushed heavily. "Um…" She said embarrassed.

"Shh, it's ok my wife." Blitz says holding her until she calmed down.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes a bit as she just enjoyed being with Blitz. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Never let me go?"

"Have I yet?" Blitz ask cupping her cheek.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No and I like it."

"Good girl. Now come on, we best get back." Blitz says.

"Ok and Blitz? You really should build your own lightsaber. It will help your connection to the force." Ahsoka says.

"Alright." Blitz says caving.

Ahsoka grins. "The girls were right. The mare always wins."

"Except in bed. I am always on top in the end." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hits his side. "Blitz."

"Challenge accepted." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "We'll see. Now what are we going to do next?"

"Go back out and act like everything's normal." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Sure. I can do that." She said getting up and leaving.

"This war must end soon." Blitz says getting up and following.

Ahsoka smiles and looks back to him. "What are you going to do once you are able to head back and catch a break?"

"More like head back, lead my clan and be a family man." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "I assume you know what a family man is?"

"Do you know what it means to a mandalorian?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs in relief. "Good. I was worried your vocabulary was short like last time we did a mission when we met. Woman's room, really?"

"Not my fault you can't speak Mando'a." Blitz says.

Ahsoka playfully glares. "You wanted to take charge of translating. You even had the dictionary in your pocket."

"I do speak about 15 languages and have the gist of three more." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Not that one when we met. You really freaked out a few girls in there."

"And shot the one we were looking for in the leg. Told you he was a shapeshifter." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "That's after bumping into 'her'."

"Not as bad as what you did. You nearly cut him in two." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "I stopped him."

"Ok, enough games for now." Blitz says smacking her rear lightly as he passed before going out the door.

"Blitz!" Ahsoka yells as she blushes.

"What, did something happen?" Blitz asks feigning innocence.

Ahsoka frowns as he smirks before running away again. "I'll get you." She said to herself.

About three weeks would pass before they finally finished up all resistance on Tauber.

"How do you think your master and Obi-wan are doing?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "No idea. Things have been the usual lately so maybe it's fine."

"Have you even heard from them since we parted?" Blitz says as he and Ahsoka were balancing a few things while lifting items with the force.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, just the basic messages like we have taken over this area and such."

"So nothing of interested then?" Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka shrugs. "I don't know, if I had to guess, it would probably be training like us."

"Your master train? The only thing I have ever seen him train is running his mouth." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "That's a good one. But still, some of us do train."

"How do you think I am in such good shape?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smirks. "Your magic."

"No, I train daily." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Sure you do."

Blitz rolls his eyes right back and keeps doing the exercise.

Ahsoka smiles as she leans over a bit. "So…has your wives ever helped you exercise?"

"Oh yeah. Rainbow and Applejack have me go running with them all the time." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Are they better?"

"Well they are in good shape and are evenly matched in speed on the ground." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "And in some of your areas?"

"Not many can compete with them and me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Good. I wouldn't want to be with a weakling."

"Ahsoka Plo could be around here." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, wouldn't be nice if he finds you trying to rest off the few minutes of training."

"What are you talking about?" Blitz asks confused.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Oh, just making sure the female is on top here." She said acting innocent.

"I am completely confused." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Okay, I'm going to call up your family to tell that you can't figure out any joke."

"Maybe not the best idea as according to my communicator it is…three in the morning there." Blitz says pausing in the middle.

Ahsoka finally drops her exercise equipment. "Okay, one, you are very bad at jokes and two, you really are not trying here."

"I'm being serious." Blitz says showing her the communicator.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "I meant I'm trying to make light of the situation and you just ruined it. Has your family ever told you that you are a mood killer?"

"At times." Blitz says getting up and lets the items he was levitating down.

Ahsoka hums. "How much can you carry with magic?"

"With magic, about…seven hundred pounds, I think. Not quite sure." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Great. Time to see how long."

"I am trying to focus on the force Ahsoka." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles gently. "What about if you need to lift something with both magic and force?"

"That would be hard." Blitz says getting she was coming onto him now.

Ahsoka smirks. "Perfect training time. Who knows, you might be able to learn more and your wife…the purple one…Twilight, can learn a few things to do she can study it."

Blitz breathes deeply and goes pack to lifting things with the force and then somethings with his magic and from his face, he was straining.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow at his effort. "A few ammo boxes and weapon boxes. Some basic supplies. Not bad. Though the concentration. Blitz, try and see if you funnel the energy from one way. Instead of thinking of it as two different things."

"It feels like something is trying to pull my head apart." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and walks over to him before patting his head. "You can stop now."

Blitz does and instantly, everything falls to the floor and he hold his head.

Ahsoka sighs and holds his head and starts massaging it for him. "So…how do you feel?"

"A splitting migraine." Blitz says as he sighs in relief at some pain going away.

"Ahsoka, was this that magic I have heard about his species has?" Plo asks walking up.

Ahsoka nods as she keeps massaging. "Yep. Just using it alone is very powerful and I won't say more just in case of it being sensitive information and a possible invasion of their planet. You lifted a hundred pounds by the way." She told the last one to Blitz.

"Yeah and it seems like a bad idea using them together. It's giving me a splitting headache. When I could do those things individually like they were nothing separate." Blitz says before turning back to his pony form for the first time in months.

Ahsoka smiles as she keeps massaging. "Feel better?"

"No, I feel sick from this." Blitz says just lying there as Plo was surprised at his new form.

Ahsoka sighs. "Okay then. Only in the worst situations and if possible, to train by little weights."

"So is this his original form or just another form?" Plo asks.

Ahsoka smirks a bit. "Now if I told you that, I would have to kill you." She said before seeing Plo take a step back. "Kidding, but yeah. This is his original. Don't say cute near him." Ahsoka says picking Blitz up.

'She is starting to tell jokes like Mandalorians.' Plo thinks.

Blitz groans in her arms. "Ahsoka, please don't kill one of the only jedis who like me working with them." He said just staying limp.

"What about Barriss?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz lifts a hoof up. "I said likes, not adores me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Like Aria?"

Blitz drops his hoof. "We promised to never talk about that."

"Aria as in the Asari that controls Omega?" Plo asks.

Blitz groans. "Guilty for being there."

"You see, for the assignment I was on, we had to go get info from her about the group we were after." Ahsoka says.

"Basically, she thought I was just an exotic animal and tried to make me her pet the first meeting." Blitz says.

Plo just stares at them as Blitz groans and Ahsoka resumes petting his head, but Blitz suspected Plo found it amusing and was containing his laughter. "I will take him to his tent to rest." Ahsoka says before taking Blitz.

Plo stares until they were far enough away and chuckles to himself. "Oh boy. The great Cross…a pet. Ha, perish the thought." He said walking away.

"He is laughing at me." Blitz says in his tent with a sour look.

Ahsoka smiles as she sets him on the bed. "You have to admit. You are a cute one for a guy. The females sure are cute, but maybe you have more feminine charms than other males."

Blitz raises an eyebrow like Applejack does.

Ahsoka shrugs. "My opinion. I'm entitled to it."

"Won't have that after we have intercourse for the first time." Blitz whispers to where only she could hear it with a smirk.

Ahsoka hits his side. "Shut up."

"And you know it to be true." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Too flirty."

Blitz smirks. "Come on. I feel horrible, let me have this." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Fine, but only because I pushed you too much."

"And I am starting to no longer dislike you holding me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and keeps petting him. "Feel better."

"Not really, mind getting me some medicine?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods and brings over a bottle of aspirin with the force. "Just like drinking and the day after huh?"

"No, I have built up a tolerance to that." Blitz says while inwardly smirking, getting a good look at her cleavage.

Ahsoka hums as she prepares the medicine and doesn't notice him staring. "Okay, here." She said giving him the pills and water.

"Thanks." Blitz says taking them and takes the medicine.

Ahsoka smiles as he sighs and lays down on the bed. "Gets some rest and I'll see about getting you a day off tomorrow."

Blitz smiles before activating cloak and gets in bed with her.

Ahsoka frowns and looks to here he is. "Cut that out."

"Don't want you to get in trouble." Blitz says laying against her.

Ahsoka sighs and tries to look normal in bed. "Don't mess with me."

Blitz wraps a hoof around her best he could, but fails miserably.

Ahsoka smiles. "You'll the get chance, don't you worry."

"Love you." Blitz says having to settle for partially holding her around the stomach.

Ahsoka smirks. "Yeah, I know what are you going for the first time."

"Oh and what is that?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "You were a little close to my chest."

"Oh, you sure I want those and not your face? I am pretty short as a pony compared to you." Blitz says cheekily.

Ahsoka just tries to hit where he was. "Just go to sleep and don't bother me in my sleep."

"If I could, I would turn humanoid again and kiss you." Blitz says as her hand found his head and she pets him.

Ahsoka smiles. "Yeah, of course you would. So what do we got tomorrow?"

"I would like to try and get in contact with your master as he and his former master were fighting Grievous." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to where he might be. "Didn't you do that in the beginning?"

"You know your master never really answers his communicator to give reports and haven't really even had time." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Yeah, only the real reason he would call is that he would need help or show off."

"Or to secretly talk to his wife." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Okay, that might get annoying. But then again…we are somewhat the same thing."

"Except I don't have to call you from across the galaxy my lovely wife." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "True, you could just walk across the hall for me."

"Or camp in this case…so Ahsoka, I have been thinking of getting you a zoid." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to where he is and becomes slightly intrigued. "Really? You sure about that?"

"Yes, I know a few that can find us some and even find some on the black market. Would you be interested?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums. "Sounds good. Maybe you should help me in training."

"I will. I'm thinking of training some of the clones and recruits to form a new zoid company." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sits up a bit. "What if the mandalorians separate from the republic?"

"Well the trade federation will try and get rid of them again and I think by then, the soldiers would rather not see them destroyed and we wisk them away." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Alright. Sounds good enough. Just train me in the usual things and maybe my pony form as well."

"You won't need pony form as only Geno has that mod and I don't know the spell to change you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka lays back down again. "Maybe Twilight should teach you. Just in case we are in trouble."

"She will probably lecture us first. You know how she is." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Anything for us to be easier at."

"Alright and now sleep?" Blitz asks snuggling.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah. Now we can." She said closing her eyes.

"Love you." Blitz says one last time.

"Have we made any progress contacting General Skywalker and Kenobi?" Plo asks walking into the communications area.

"Not just yet, but we have made contact with Master Junimara and her forces are doing well though have been counter attacked a few times, but no severe damage taken according to her." Blitz says.

Plo nods. "Good. Nothing on the ones we are trying to call?"

"Generals, we are getting a signal." A clone communications officer says.

"Put it on screen." Plo orders.

"See. I told you master. The plan worked." Anakin says as they got video.

"Uh huh. Blitz only gave the asteroid missile. We just used it like normal." Obi-wan said.

"Yes, after fooling the droids it was just another asteroid in the belt." Anakin says

"Um…masters?" Ahsoka says getting both of their attentions.

They both look over. "Oh. The jamming is cleared now." Anakin said.

"You were being jammed?" Blitz asks.

Obi-wan nods. "Yes. I guess you have been trying to call us?"

"For a while, the council feared the worse." Plo says.

Obi-wan smiles. "Well, here we are now. You can tell them to take it easy."

"What is the situation master?" Ahsoka asks.

"We are in the middle of a stalemate. Grievous brought a bigger fleet than usual and our eight ships with the asteroid missiles, as Anakin has named them, have been at a stalemate with his and our troops on the surface are waging a desperate war of attrition with the droids with some local assistance." Obi-wan says.

Blitz nods. "So how far are you?"

"Like I said, a stalemate. We can neither retreat or advance and there have been no reinforcements. I'm guessing they can be sent to one of the other fronts of this campaign." Obi-wan says.

"Yes, Master Luminara, from the reports, has been experiencing the most in taking the planets away from the hyperspace lane with the turian and Asari allies. We only got one in our battle to Tauber here with Master Plo Koon." Blitz says.

Anakin raises an eyebrow. "Really now? So how far are you?"

"We have finished and are ready will be on standby for the next stage of the campaign." Plo Koon says.

"See that you do. We may need the surrounding areas over with." Obi-wan said.

"You want us to try and take Yag'dhul ahead of schedule?" Blitz asks.

Anakin nods. "Yes, it would probably help and get reinforcements off our backs."

"Very well. I shall send word to Master Luminara about this change." Plo Koon says.

"Tell me, how have the mandalorians been?" Blitz asks.

"I hate to admit it. Death Watch has been very effective against the droids if they had reinforcements. They could move on, but for now, they are stuck holding position like the other clan." Obi-wan says.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, mandalorians are like that."

"I hope to see you both soon masters." Ahsoka says.

"Don't worry Snips. We will see each other in person soon." Anakin says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Yeah, just don't throw another asteroid on our ship. You are too trigger happy for new weapons."

"Hey, we still got fifty more and our techs studying exactly what the mandalorians did to jury rig them." Anakin says.

"It's actually quite smart using space debris as a weapon." Obi-wan says before he and Anakin start talking about the weapon again and the clone cuts them off, seeing the signal from Plo Koon.

"They sound like an old married couple." Blitz commits.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow at him. "Considering how they work. Especially with Skyguy."

"Especially him. Not sure if he is the wife or husband." Blitz jokes.

"I say the husband since he's so hard headed." Ahsoka jokes back.

"That makes Obi-wan the nagging wife." Blitz jokes putting the image into those present heads.

Ahsoka grins. "Don't let them hear that."

"I can see a comedy around that now." Blitz says smirking holding back his laughter.

The others in the room trying to hold back their laughter.

"If we are launching our assault early, we best contact Master Kit Fisto to get him and his ocean clones ready for the assault into the oceans." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll see about convincing him and checking the situation."

"I will get our troops and ships ready to depart and meet up with the fleet still at Harrin." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "See that you do. I hate to be caught with only one squad and one ship. That's embarrassing if they have all of theirs."

Blitz chuckles walking off.

"Good to be back on the Darkline. Don't you think Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smirks. "Only because you can have me alone with you."

"Yeah, Ridley is busy and none of the other officers are here. Which is why we got to blow off some steam." Blitz says as Ahsoka fixed her outfit. "So you appreciate that filling up your rear?"

Ahsoka hums as she looks herself over. "I have been thinking of how we should marry." She said fixing out the wrinkles.

"Oh, your thoughts?" Blitz asks smirking.

Ahsoka smirks. "Yeah, I already got markings. No one would notice a tattoo ring or maybe a tattoo on the whole hand."

"Just hide it among other tattoos for your people and then when it's all over, I will slide a ring on that finger of your hand." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Sure. Just make sure that I'm always having a good place among your family. It seems that others won't hold me in that regard at times. Your mother seems to still have some questions about me."

"About what exactly?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "No idea. She just gives me the feeling that she is quite questionable with me. Is she always like that?"

"With the girls, at first. You should have seen the stink eye she gave Twilight for the first few days after meeting her and finding out she was my wife." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Like a good mother." She said looking back to him.

"So you ready for this?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, you keep doing what you do and I'll do mine. Just don't mix the magic and force powers again."

"Ok, so you know the plan, right? While master Plo and Luminara attack the land base targets and master Fisto attacks the ocean targets, we will attack their shipyards and cripple them." Blitz says now holding her.

Ahsoka smiles. "Yeah, just be sure to keep hitting them from behind and I'll keep up the pressure."

"So you going to tell me what the republic decided to either capture or destroy the ship yards or do I have to coax it out of you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Down boy. They want to capture it. Thinking it might be a good staging area."

"Ok." Blitz says laying his head in the crook of her neck.

Ahsoka smiles and leans her head on his. "Love you Blitz."

"Love you too Ahsoka Read." Blitz says.

Ahsoka giggles as she just pats his head. "Still need to work on that name. But maybe later."

Blitz smiles. "Nope. You married me so unless you want it to be Ahsoka Tano Read than no." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "We'll think about it. For now, work calls."

Blitz sighs. "Fine. Let's go." He said letting her go and getting dressed as Ahsoka headed out. "Also, your skirt is stuck up and showing yourself."

Ahsoka eeps and pulls her skirt down and glares to the smirking Blitz. "Shut up." She said blushing and rushing off now.

Blitz only chuckles. "And that's my wife."

Blazer smiles as he walks around town after doing today's chores. "Mommy, that is everything right?" Blazer asks.

Applejack nods and looks to the many things and bags they have on their backs. "Yep, now we can head home. By the way, did you hear about Diamond turning over a new leaf?" She asks smirking.

"Yeah, I did." Blazer says as Surgere kept her eyes on him.

Applejack grins. "You going to ask her out?"

"I know not what you speak of." Blazer says as Surgere waits for the right moment to pounce.

Applejack chuckles. "Yeah, right. Just go ahead. She's fine now. Or would you rather be a chivalrous griffon?"

"I…" Before Blazer could finish, Surgere pounced onto him.

Applejack laughs as Surgere was actually overpowering Blazer and trying him up with a little rope.

"Ah, you two playing?" Applejack asks.

Blazer groans as he tries to get Surgere off of him. "Get her off of me."

"Come here sweetie." Applejack says getting her daughter.

Blazer sighs in relief as Surgere laughs in Applejack's hooves. "Finally. Don't let her do that again." He said cutting away at the rest of the ropes with his claws.

"Come on, don't you love your little sister?" Applejack asks holding her up to his beak and Surgere grabs it.

Blazer frowns as Surgere laughs and pulls at his beak at times. "Sis, cut that out."

Surgere smiles before kissing the top of his beak.

Blazer stops and blushes before trying to get her off. "Sis."

"Aw, she loves her big brother." Applejack says before taking her back and putting her on her back.

Blazer sighs in relief as he wipes his beak before blinking for a bit and turns his head and smirks. "Hey mom, can I stay out a while longer in town?"

"Not much longer. Remember, Lightning is going to teach you today." Applejack says petting her son's head.

Blazer looks up to her pleadingly. "Aw come on mom."

"You know Lightning doesn't have much time in between taking care of Onyx and her job." Applejack reminds.

Blazer sighs. "Fine."

"Ok, don't keep your stepmother waiting." Applejack says before walking off with Surgere.

Blazer smiles. "Thanks mom." He said before getting up and running off and takes a look around before heading down an alley.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "Huh, maybe he saw the Diamond filly."

He in fact did not. Blazer smiles as he sees a group of colts around a circle with spray cans. "Boys, do I got a proposition for you." He said smirking.

"Huh?" One of them asks.

Blazer nods. "How would you like to work with me? Forgot about tagging and pranks. How about things more fun?"

"What's more fun?" A bored one asks.

Blazer hums. "Going around. Giving guards and troops the slip. Maybe watch them bumble around. Plus, we can hear things that might be worthwhile to us. Who knows, we can have home in multiple places at once. And it would be all ours. Even Canterlot, Manehattan. Anywhere can gain a hoofhold."

"The guy has a big head." One whispers to another.

Blazer shrugs. "All right. Fine. Spend your days just getting in trouble with tagging and pickpocketing. I'll be getting higher than you though. Or…" He stops and looks to them. "We can get to know each other and maybe we can be the best of friends with even bigger ideas."

"Oh, what the heck. I'm bored anyways." One says.

Another shrugs. "I am getting bored of using my mom's allowance for spray cans." He said picking up a spray can.

"Alright we'll hang with you but we have to head home for lunch." One says.

Blazer nods. "Fine by me. See you later." He said walking away.

After he got home, he saw Lightning waiting with Arcane and Azure. "I see you finally show up." She says.

Blazer chuckles nervously. "Sorry. Saw something interesting. Turns out to be nothing."

"Well then get your pack. We are going camping." Lightning says.

Blazer blinks. "Camping?"

"Yes, now come on." Lightning says.

Blazer still blinks as Arcane and Azure pack their things. "Hey, where's Sunshine?"

"She knows what I am going to teach and as such on a higher level than you three." Lightning says.

Blazer sighs as he starts packing his bag. "Alright. Where are we going?"

"That is a surprise." Lightning says getting up and leading them.

Blazer groans and steps besides Arcane and Azure. "So…anything she's told you other than these?" He asks them.

"She said we would be gone all weekend." Arcane says.

"I miss dad." Azure says.

Blazer sighs. "How long until dad get back?" He asks Lightning.

"Your father is away fighting a campaign, so I can't say." Lightning says her tone gentler now.

Blazer groans. "Man."

"Come here you three." Lightning says picking them up.

They all blink as Lightning hugs them. "Um…" Arcane tries to say.

"I am also one of you mothers and I care about all three of you." Lightning says.

They all stare at her before smiling. "Thanks mom." Azure said.

"No problem. Now your father is fighting with all of his might out there to keep you safe you three. So even if he isn't here, he is thinking of you all." Lightning says.

Blazer smiles. "Yeah, figure he might be."

"Now come on you three. This will be fun." Lightning says.

"And with that, we have more than three fourths of the shipyards under our control." Blitz says after blasting the last droid in the control room.

Ahsoka smiles as a droid was running around with no arms. "Good. This might be good for us and to repair and rearm our ships."

"Yeah, also we now have the support of three-eighths of the governing people. Who knew they would support us especially being so divided." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe they just want a better work life."

"Or maybe they are that divided in their government. Either way, by doing this, we have cut off one of the Separatists critical shipyards. I just hope the others are faring as well." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him. "You sure they can hold up?"

"I sent our zoid and armor divisions to Luminara and sent a few squads of amphibious zoids to aid Master Fisto. The Separatists are not the only ones with heavy amphibious weapons anymore." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Not bad. Though we can check around if you want."

"You are right. All you units, finish securing the shipyard and find a place for us to set up and launch our fighter jets." Blitz says into his communicator.

"Sir." He heard back,

"Now then." Blitz says taking a seat at the console.

Ahsoka leans on the seat over him. "What do we got?"

"I am stealing all of their plans, blueprints, and everything from the computer system for our own use." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "I see. Then let's see who the contracts are connected to this place. They do outsource a lot in shipyards."

"Exactly…Ahsoka, we have something." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums as she leans in to the screen. "What is it?"

"Take a look." Blitz says bringing up a video showing a fallen jedi getting off a transport at the shipyards.

Ahsoka frowns. "Where is this guy?"

"Records don't show him leaving the planet. Or coming back to the shipyards. I need some troops to secure the brown ship in hangar 5." Blitz says the last part into the communicator.

Ahsoka sighs. "May I?"

"Go ahead. See what you can find." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and runs off. "I'll be back."

After she was far enough away, Blitz got up and ignited his darksaber. "I know you are there." Blitz says.

A crate was moved. "Not bad. Better than the kid." A voice said nearby.

"I knew from the start. Just wanted her out of harm's way." Blitz says taking a darker tone.

"Heh, should have kept her for backup." The voice said again.

"You underestimate me. So Dooku figured out our target huh and sent you to try and kill the leadership correct?" Blitz asks.

"More or less." It said.

"You are well train, but I am better trained." Blitz says before turning around and shooting force lightning.

Blitz saw the movement and slowly walks out into the open. "Not enough." He calls.

"Oh?" Blitz says before unleashing his flamethrower on his gauntlet into a large arc.

"So burn the place down!" He calls and jumps through a window.

"You foal." Blitz says aiming a rocket on his gauntlet at the fire that caught onto him and fires.

"Idiot." He heard him mumble and sees the rocket fly into another direction and it explodes a bit afterward.

"Oh you're not the run of mill I see." Blitz says before engaging his cloak and activating his thermal sensors in his helmet.

Blitz stealthily followed Dooku's assassin on a chase throughout the shipyard, both trying to wait for the other to make a mistake.

Eventually Blitz takes a deep breath and stands in the middle of a supposedly empty chamber with his eyes closed and deactivates his stealth unit.

"And just what are you doing?" He hears the voice echo through the room.

Blitz didn't answer and lets his senses extend outwards as he grips his dark saber close.

"You know, it's stupid sometimes to stand in the middle of a room." The voice said again.

"Or is it stupid to suddenly jump at your opponent?" Blitz asks suddenly throwing his darksaber which was now ignited to the left into the air as it stayed guided by the force until it impaled something.

"Wha…what the…" He hears and looks over to see a dark cloaked person impaled on his darksaber still stuck in the air.

"Your overconfidence was your downfall." Blitz says as gravity took effect on the fallen jedi.

The fallen Jedi groans as he fell onto the metal flooring below the many walkways. "Damn you."

Blitz didn't even approach and uses the force to bring his darksaber to himself.

Blitz hums as he looks over the darksaber. "No blood. Good. I hate cleaning." He said to himself as he turns it off and just walks away.

"Chief." Some mandalorians call rushing up.

"Deal with that one and bring me his lightsaber." Blitz instructs.

The Mandalorians rush off as Blitz sighs. "Okay, that should be all…mostly." He said to himself as he checks out his datapad. "Ahsoka, can you hear me?" Blitz asks over his communicator as he looks through the datapad as he heard two blaster shot indicating they were checking if he was dead.

"Yeah, I can't find this guy. Can you see him?" Ahsoka asks.

"Yeah, he's dead." Blitz says.

Ahsoka was silent for a bit. "You are such a mood killer, you know that, right?"

"You still like me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Open channel."

"I know. Reconvene at where we decided to make our base of operations." Blitz says getting the lightsaber he was brought before switching to the secure channel. "So what did you find in the ship?" Blitz asks.

"Basic things. A few war things. Some robots. Basically one who is going to war needs." She said.

"No instructions or anything?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums. "Not really. Guess it's a read and destroy."

"I see, so we can only assume what his orders were, but he was alone. Also, remind me to thank Plo Koon what he taught me. Won the battle for me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Sure. Just be sure to have proof."

"You want us to bring the corpse?" Blitz asks.

"No, just his saber. That is proof enough." She said.

"I already have it. The guy was good at stealth though." Blitz says.

"Makes you wonder what he was using if any." She said in a questioning tone.

"Who knows, but we can bag and tag him now." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll check back at the campsite. You can meet me there if you want."

"Already on my way." Blitz says.

"General, severely bad news." A droid says to Grievous.

Grievous looks to it with a glare. "What?"

"Yag'Dhul is under attack. The first fleet that was stationed there has already been destroyed." The droid says.

Grievous growls. "What?!" Grievous yells.

"General, we must fall back now or risk being isolated in between the Republic forces." A tactical droid advised.

Grievous huffs. "Let's go."

"Acknowledged, all remaining ships, retreat." The tactical droid says and soon the eleven separatist ships started to turn to retreat.

"Generals, Grievous's fleet, they are on the move." A clone reports.

Obi-wan smiles a bit. "Good, stay alert just in case."

"Master, what do you think this means?" Anakin asks.

Obi-wan hums. "Maybe he knows this place is a lost cause and will get another spot and make it more fortified."

"So that means that they have made good progress on Yag'Dhul then." Anakin says.

Obi-wan nods. "Has to be if it has him running."

"I hope those frigates have their cannons prepared and picks off a few of Grievous' ships as they go by." Anakin says.

Obi-wan waves him off. "They would always be prepared. It seems that's the motto with them. Unlike you Anakin."

Anakin huffs before saying, "Let's get back to work. With Grievous gone, we can make some good progress."

Obi-wan nods. "Yes, let us head for the ships left behind and take them out."

"To the planet." Anakin says.

A few months later, Blitz was onboard the Darkline when he received the report that Anakin and Obi-wan finished up Renillis and with that, the shipyards of Wroona remained unconquered in the inner rim area they were assigned to.

"And with that, the campaign is complete and our victory." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "So you ready to head to another?"

"Yeah, our fleet is being rotated out for a rest. Another fleet will take our place and proceed to Wroona and the alliance will try and push further into Separatist space." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Shall we head back then?"

Blitz paused for a moment. "…no, let's go to Myrkr." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him confused. "Why there?"

"I…don't know. I think the force is telling me to go there." Blitz says.

Ahsoka keeps watching him. "So you want to go?"

"I think I should. You mind coming?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles gently. "Someone has to watch your flank."

"You would watch it anyways." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka smirks. "Like you watch my ass?"

"Yeah." Blitz says going to the Darkstar One.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "You know that I'm supposed to be in front."

"So you mind just staying on the Darkstar One?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Yeah, I won't mind."

"Thanks. Darkline, this is Darkstar heading out now." Blitz says the latter over the communications.

Ahsoka hums as she watches him. "So what do you have planned once you get back?"

"Before or after the swarm?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Swarm?"

"The foals." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "After then."

"Before or after you see Twi about turning you into a pony?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe a bit before and change along the way."

"Knowing mom, she will want to spend time with me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Or maybe hug you all day while saying 'my baby.' Over and over." She mimics.

"She can do that, I won't deny." Blitz says before going into hyperspace and gets up leaving the ship on autopilot.

Ahsoka smiles as she relaxes in her seat. "Question, what are we going to do in our spare time until we reach Myrkr?"

Blitz says nothing before getting in her lap in pony form.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow and looks down to him. "You want to be petted?"

Blitz hums as he leans against her. "Yeah, pet away my wife."

Ahsoka didn't start petting, but kissed his head.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. "I love you my beautiful wife." Blitz says leaning against her.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him. "Yeah, me too. How long until we reach the planet?"

"A few days. Darkstar One can really book it. If we were going with the fleet, it might be a month." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him tighter. "Then let's make sure that you get the most time out of your break."

"Ok, head to my room?" Blitz asks.

"Sure." Ahsoka says getting up with Blitz in her arms.

Blitz chuckles as he leans against her. "Such a good pillow."

"Ok, now change when we get into your room." Ahsoka instructs.

Blitz just grins as they enter his room.

"So Ahsoka, you find the latest sith as interesting as Imperius?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, this one is an enigma in what we usually think."

"Kind of reminds me of a noble knight from Alderaan's history and tales." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Going to ask him for an autograph?"

"Hard thing to do." Blitz says bringing up an image of him and Imperius standing together. "Unless you have a time machine you are not telling me about." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Maybe your wife?"

"Farthest she can travel back is a week and only for a few moments." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "She went back one time?"

"Yeah, she told me about it when I asked why she never tried it again. She started getting stressed out going over what could go wrong like causing her parents never to meet, never going to Celestia's school for the gifted, ect as she unconsciously flew up till she hit the ceiling." Blitz said.

Ahsoka kept an eyebrow raised. "Really?"

"Yes, was quite adorable." Blitz says chuckling.

Ahsoka smiles. "When do you hope to go back?"

"After this. The force is guiding me here for some purpose. For what, I do not know just yet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Well maybe I can help you."

"You promised you would stay on the ship remember?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Alright, I will stay on the ship, but you better not keep your wife waiting too long." Ahsoka warns.

Blitz smirks and kisses her. "I will try. Also, I found something interesting in the communication archives when searching for the Emperor's wrath and master Timmns. Want me to read it?" Blitz offers.

Ahsoka leans to him. "Sure. What is it?"

Blitz clear his throat before reading. "The subject is called 'A welcomed alliance'. I have had much to consider since our alliance on Belsavis. Darth Ekkage is one matter but a Jedi cooperating with a Sith is unprecedented. When I told the Jedi Council of our partnership, they couldn't believe it. For hours they debated, wondering how the Sith who hunted Jaesa Wilsaam could show such restraint. Confusion and prejudice clouds their minds. Your actions gave me hope. Though it may be decades before another Sith and Jedi join hands, I will ensure that our alliance serves as an example for all students of the Jedi Academy." Blitz reads.

Ahsoka stops and looks to him. "Okay, the Sith side is really surprising me."

"And it is members like this that make the jedi worthwhile." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "I thought you hated them."

"I hate the arrogance, the holier than thou attitude, the refusing to admit a mistake, and the not considering what your actions will bring to others part." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops and looks to him while moving away a bit. "So…?"

"I love you my wife and first love. You gave me a little hope that the jedi are not all bad." Blitz says closing the distance.

Ahsoka looks at the distance between them. "So what are you going do?"

"Oh, I don't know." Blitz says slowly running his fingers up her arm. "Maybe raise kids with you."

Ahsoka stares at him. "Blitz."

"Yes?" Blitz asks leaning onto her.

Ahsoka pushes him back with a finger. "Blitz." She said almost annoyed.

"I love you Ahsoka Read." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him before sighing. "Fine, do what you want." She said letting him go.

"Ahsoka, something is bothering you. I don't need the force to sense it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Nothing is wrong."

"Ahsoka…you're scared of being a mother aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs and looks away slightly. "Blitz…if I do have kids and marry you, I'm placing our lives and future lives in danger because of it. They would come after us."

"No, the jedi won't if we feign you watching over us and I have this feeling I cannot shake it, but the galaxy will change dramatically in a decade or two." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe, but they will find out soon."

"Ahsoka, I must ask, every time I think about the future, I have a bad feeling, do you get the same?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him and shakes her head. "Not by much." Blitz looks worried now, a sign that doesn't escape Ahsoka's notice. "Are you okay?"

"Ahsoka, is there a jedi technique that can allow you to sense what I sense?" Blitz asks unsure.

Ahsoka hummed as she thought. "Maybe…master Plo taught me a technique long ago, but I never fully mastered it." Ahsoka says.

"Then can we try?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him carefully. "I don't want to risk it without fully learning it."

"Then…can you ask master Plo to meet us here in secret?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll try." She said bringing up her communicator.

After a few moments Master Plo answered. "Ahsoka is there something wrong?" Plo asks.

"Master Plo, can you possibly meet me and Blitz alone at these coordinates?" Ahsoka asks.

"Just me a bit of time and I'll be there." He said before cutting the line.

"Well on the bright side, this will give us a few more days to study and enjoy the view." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "What view?"

Blitz lowered the shielding on the front view port for Ahsoka to see the sun starting to peek out from behind the planet Myrkr.

Ahsoka smiles as she watches the view. "Wow. Not bad a view." She said leaning close to the window.

"And we have a lot of time to enjoy." Blitz says sneaking a kiss.

Ahsoka blushes as she backs away a bit. "Cut that out."

"Only if you ask me seriously as my wife." Blitz says.

A few days later, a small jedi starfighter docked with the Darkstar one.

Ahsoka yawns as she drinks some coffee. "What's going on?"

"Master Plo has arrived." Blitz says the airlock opens and Plo enters.

Plo hums as he looks to Ahsoka drinking away. "Long night studying and training?"

"Yeah, did you know, that in the last hyperspace war, jedi master Timmns and the second Emperor's wrath had an unofficial alliance and were friends?" Ahsoka asks.

Plo shakes his head. "Did not know that. Good to know. What happened to them?"

"Records are vague. I am still researching, but I have yet to find an answer, but master there is a reason I asked you out here alone in secret." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "I would think it is either top secret with vital information or something that would send everyone into a panic."

"Yes…Blitz has told me he keeps sensing something, but he cannot understand it." Ahsoka admits.

Plo nods. "And you want me to help understand it?"

"I remember you trying to teach me a technique years ago that allows one to be able to share the ability to sense with another. I was hoping you could use the technique and help us get a better understanding." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "I'll see what I can do. Where is he?" Noticing him absent.

"Meditating in preparation…" Ahsoka says stopping.

"Is there something wrong?" Plo asks.

"Master Blitz has told me that he has a feeling the galaxy will dramatically change in the next ten years or so. That troubles me a bit." Ahsoka says.

"A lot can hang in even a few seconds or a moment." Plo said.

"I know, but the way the war is going it might mean something bad is happening." Ahsoka says.

Plo sighs. "Well…there have some reports of good and bad force users being able to tell even something at the end of their life. This might be shocking if I am able to connect well."

"I won't keep you any longer master." Ahsoka says letting him enter the room.

Blitz cracks an eye open from his meditating position as he laid down on the ground as a pony. "Ah, good. Shall we begin?" He asks getting comfortable.

"One moment, it takes a few seconds to start the technique." Plo says sitting in front of him.

Blitz hums as he closes his eyes again and makes sure to open up his connection to the force.

"Ok, now try and sense." Plo says managing to connect. Blitz breathes in deeply and starts and he and Plo start feeling a dark presence in the galaxy.

"This is the feeling I have been getting. Though it is getting a bit stronger at this point." Blitz said focusing on the feeling.

"T…that's the dark side." Plo says. 'How could the council be blind to this?' Plo thinks.

Blitz hums. "The feeling of things whizzing about me is also coming to mind. Can't make it out."

"Can you pinpoint the source of this dark side energy? Focus on feeling the source." Plo says.

"I…I see Coruscant." Blitz says after a long pause.

Plo groans. "Great. Now what else can you decipher from this?"

"Nothing, it is like something is blocking me. I only saw Coruscant for a moment." Blitz says.

Plo nods and cuts the link. "I think we should give this a break. We can figure out more later."

"I see. I will go then. I have put this off long enough." Blitz says transforming into his humanoid form.

Plo seems to have an eyebrow raised. "Every time I see that, still surprises me."

"Ahsoka, looks like you will have company while I head down onto the planet." Blitz says going to the cockpit.

Ahsoka hums as she still tries to drink. "Okay, have fun."

Blitz gets up once they were a safe distance to jump from and programs the computer to take the ship back into space. Blitz then walked to the ramp and jumps out towards the surface without his armor.

Plo tries to follow his movements. "He will be all right, right?"

"I think so. The force called him here." Ahsoka says.

Plo points out the window. "I meant him jumping out."

"Me and Master Skywalker do it all the time. The trick is to use force push to slow your descent." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "Does he know that?"

"Oh yeah, I taught him how." Ahsoka says.

Plo kept an eyebrow raised at her as the ship moves away from the area.

Blitz observes the land from a tree. He breathed in deep and kept sharp, knowing the creatures of this world were force sensitive and many were predators.

Blitz groans as he tries to keep above ground. "Isn't there a planet where it's almost happy go lucky instead of kill la kill…oh wait." He said to himself as he realized that his planet was one.

"Now…hello little guy." Blitz says spying a furry lizard like creature next to him on the tree. The creature croaks slowly as it slowly turns its head at him. Blitz hums as he holds his arm out near the branch it was resting on and it slowly moves over to his arm and rests on it before croaking again.

"I think the foals will like you." Blitz says before setting him into a pocket to where he was comfortable and sticking his head out.

The creature croaks again as it looks around its new spot before sticking its head into his pocket and comes back out with a bar of chocolate and starts chewing on the wrapped up bar.

"You eat up little guy." Blitz says before starting to meditate to try and figure out where to go.

The creature croaks as it claws at the wrapper and tears it apart as it starts chewing away and looks to him while eating.

Blitz kept trying to sense where he was supposed to go when he felt something incredibly faint, but there. A dark side presence.

The creature croaks curiously as it looks to him and stops eating for a bit.

"That it?" Blitz asks himself.

The creature coos as it drops the candy and slides out of his pocket and onto his shoulder.

Blitz starts hopping from tree to tree going in that direction.

The creature shrieks as it struggles to stay on before it crawls back into his pocket and starts eating again.

For the next few days, Blitz walked in that direction, searching for the presence that had concealed itself.

"Where are you?" He asks himself as the creature was on his head and eating his tenth and last candy bar.

"Having a good time little guy?" Blitz asks.

The creature croaks and looks to him mid bite.

Blitz scratches his head with a finger.

The creature coos and purrs slightly.

"Oh goody, a dark dank cave. I am sure nothing evil is in there." Blitz says sarcastically as he senses the dark side from it.

The creature croaks before grabbing the candy bar in its mouth and crawls out and climbs onto a branch before eating there.

"Not coming?" Blitz asks.

The creatures look to him and croaks before chewing into the bar again.

Blitz sighs before entering. "Oh goody, it's even more dank than I first thought." Blitz says hearing the water drops in the dark.

Blitz kept walking for a while before stopping. "Hold on…I have passed this root before." Blitz says looking at the root.

"And I haven't made a tur…oh well played, but too passive." Blitz call before sending force lightning everywhere he could manage. Soon the air shimmered and an illusion was undone, revealing a new path paved with carved stone. "I see, so this is a tomb." Blitz says.

"Well, also a lab, but who's bragging?" A voice said.

"And you are?" Blitz asks letting his sith training shine through via his eyes.

A tall, thin, and armored ring came out of the darkness into whatever light there was for him to see such a plain clothed individual. "Ah good. A Sith. That makes things ten times easier. Well…ten and fourteen hundredths times better. Nice to finally meet a fellow Sith." He said inclining his head.

"Your name now!" Blitz orders the way Imperius taught him to when addressing potentially hostile sith.

The bring chuckles a bit darkly. "You want to know? Well my name is Terrak Morrhage. Pleasure to meet you."

"I know you. You are the sith who tried to infect the jedi order twice with a plague that allowed you to syphon those you infected with force power. You were last seen over three millennia ago when you were defeated by the jedi who would become the Barsen'thor of the jedi in the second great hyperspace war." Blitz says.

Terrak hums. "Not bad of an history lesson. Still need work on details. So I guess you would be willing to find out what I am doing?"

"You were last seen declaring you would take vengeance on the Barsen'thor, but all your words were empty threats." Blitz says.

Terrak chuckles. "Yes, but I'm here now. Why would I be here now?"

"The answer is simple, the only thing that drives you is revenge and hatred for the jedi. You are preparing to make a third attempt." Blitz says glaring.

Terrak darkly chuckles. "I must commend you. Great. Now can you figure out how?" He asks walking away into the dark again.

"And that is a problem." Blitz says.

"Then you are an idiot." He said finally in the darkness.

"No, you should know that we sith don't like it when others interfere in our business." Blitz says igniting his lightsaber.

"Try and find me." Terrak said in the darkness and in the distance.

"I also know you can't execute your plan without a host you parasite." Blitz says.

"Who you calling parasite? I just merely make them. Why do I get called that?" Terrak's voice ponders to himself as if he didn't hear the first half.

"Because you can't do anything without a host and from feeding off other's strength. A parasite is all you can be called." Blitz says.

"Yes. That is true. Though the host thing? I have to simply find a better way to get it into others. And even then I need a synthesized form to work." Terrak said as Blitz tries to find him in the dark.

"You're talkative for a dead man." Blitz says.

"No, just being an exposition expert." He replied.

"No, you're trying to lead me into a trap." Blitz says stopping.

"Unless you are stepping on one." He told.

"Oh?" Blitz asks before stabbing the ground and something roared in pain.

Terrak pokes his head out of the darkness. "Oh, that wasn't it."

"Oh your attempt to bluff is amusing." Blitz says.

Terrak chuckles. "No, I mean that trap." He said pointing to something right beside Blitz.

Blitz eyes went wide and he let loose a strong force push, sending something skidding.

The thing growled and slowly stomped out with a scraping of its claws as it devilish looks at Blitz and salivates at the sight. "Have fun." Terrak said before going into the darkness again.

"Great, a Terentatek." Blitz says taking a stance.

The Terentatek growls lowly before roaring at Blitz and then charges at him, indenting to smash Blitz into a wall. Blitz, seeing this, runs towards the wall behind him and jumps off it and lands behind the Terentatek as it hits the wall. The Terentatek roars and quickly spins around and tries to swipe at him with its claws.

Blitz jumps back to get distance and tries to stay just outside the creature of the dark side's reach.

The creature growls and charges him again as it claws the walls and tries to get close to him.

Blitz on the other hand was keeping his distance and trying to keep rock or part of the cave in between them, trying to tire the monster out, knowing in a straight up fight as he was now, he wouldn't win. He knew his only chance at winning was to wear the thing down before committing himself.

The creatures growls heavily as it turns towards and then roars out loud, trying the intimidation tactic.

Blitz, seeing this, decided to retaliate and gathered the force to himself before releasing a force scream, hitting the beast with dark side energy.

The creature stops and growls questionably.

Blitz, seeing this, does a saber throw technique. His lightsaber slicing the top of the beast's left leg as it passed by it before returning to him.

The creature roars as the strike barely leaves a scorch mark. The creature rush Blitz again and Blitz barely jumps over it in time to avoid it.

"Ok, let's see, ah, there." Blitz says spying an old wound in its back.

The creature growls as it bends down to prepare to charge and seems to give a glare.

"Is this all you can muster Terrak, a half dead beast that can't even fight properly." Blitz mocks.

The creature growls loudly as it outlining scars and blood seem to light up before charging straight at him.

Blitz, seeing this, starts shooting force lightning right into the wound, making it roar in pain. "And I thought you were a threat." Blitz mocks.

The creature roars louder in his direction and grabs a loose rock before throwing it.

"After all, what can a failure like you accomplish." Blitz mocks before a cry of anger was heard and Terrak appeared again.

"You think I am a failure, a weakling, I will show you!" Terrak roared before flying at then into the Terentatek. The Terentatek roared in pain and slammed around the cave before saying. "Now let us see who is powerless."

Blitz frowns. "You are making your own demise!"

"Oh really?" Terrak roared.

"Yeah, because I made a friend here." Blitz says when the Ysalamiri from earlier showed itself.

Terrak growls at it as it squeaks and seems to pass something over them before nothing else happened. "You are a fool." Terrak growls.

"Oh no. How can you survive without the force?" Blitz asks reading his lightsaber.

Terrak just shows his claws. "With these." He said sharpening them against each other.

"But what about without that body?" Blitz asks before charging and jumps over the claw swipes before ramming the lightsaber into the wound and starts moving it around inside the beast. Terrak roars and tries to grab him and rip him to shreds, but his arms were too short and bulky to reach before the body starts slowing down fast and Terrak could feel it's life fading.

Terrak huffs. "You are not bad, but there are more to come."

"No, this is the end. Try and leave that body now." Blitz dares.

Terrak growls with the creature, but soon it grew into confusion. "What?!"

"We are in a force nullified bubble, a place where a force ghost can't exist. When it dies you will be ejected into this space." Blitz says.

"No!" Terrak yelled.

"That is right. Your time is over and now I end your threat forever." Blitz says before starting to stab the beast until it no longer moves.

Blitz sighs as he jumps off of it and the Ysalamiri drops the bubble.

"Thanks my friend." Blitz says laying out a hand for it.

The Ysalamiri croaks at him as it landed.

"I will take you away from the predators if you wish." Blitz offers turning back to his pony form.

The Ysalamiri croaks again and jumps onto his head.

Blitz smiles, leaving the corpse behind and starts looking around and stops when he hears a whistle. Blitz to where it is coming from and follows it to find a black crystal. "So this is your way of rewarding me huh. Very well, I thank you." Blitz says before using the force to take the crystal. "Time to go little guy." Blitz says.

The Ysalamiri croaks as it lays down on his head.

"Thanks for picking me up." Blitz says as they leave the planet's atmosphere.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Anything for a friend. Besides, this ship, not our style."

"Yeah, thanks master Plo for keeping Ahsoka company." Blitz thanks.

Plo waves him off. "Still like family."

"I'm sorry the council is calling you back master. I had hoped you could see Blitz's hope world." Ahsoka says.

Plo shrugs. "Maybe one day. Just not now."

"Farewell master." Ahsoka says as Plo leaves to get into his ship.

Blitz sighs as he programs the Darkstar to return home and goes to sit by Ahsoka. "So…what do you want to do?"

"Tell me what happened beside your little friend here." Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiles and shows the crystal. "Yes, it's a black one. Kinda make sense since I am a mystery at times. I could go one way or the other and still I would be fighting for both."

"And what also happened down there?" Ahsoka asks.

"Well it started with…" Blitz starts as they enter hyperspace.

Twilight yawns as she paces around, having just woken up and waiting for the coffee machine to finish.

"Mommy, when's daddy coming home?" Arcane asks.

"Soon sweetie." Twilight says ruffling his mane to his amusement and soon the communicator starts ringing.

Arcane gasps. "Daddy?"

"Let's see…" Twilight says checking and smiles and nods to her son.

Arcane cheers and jumps onto the counter and tries to peek into her view.

"Hey honey." Twilight says.

"Hey love, guess who is on their way home?" Blitz says.

Twilight sighs in relief as she tries to keep her eyes open before Arcane moves into view. "She's been helping out mommy Vinyl. I have a new brother!" He cheered.

"Oh?" Blitz asks smiling.

Twilight snorts awake. "Wha…what? Oh right, Vinyl. Yeah, she gave birth to a little unicorn colt with a white coat and black mane." Twilight says.

"She have a name yet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight yawns. "His name is Juko Light. Cute huh?"

"Oh that is adorable. So how is everyone there?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Same old, same old." She yawns. "Arcane, take over." She said yawning. "Coffee." She said letting Arcane have it and heads toward the coffee maker.

Arcane smiles and leans in again. "Everything is normal really. Nothing bad has happen too."

"I see and how are you Arcane? Does father have to come and tickle you?" Blitz jokes.

Arcane blushes. "Dad!" He said embarrassed. "Don't do that."

"That's my job and his mother." Terra said appearing behind him.

"Turn the camera and let me see her." Blitz says smirking.

Arcane smiles and turns the communicator to Twilight as she sleepily tries to make coffee.

"Oh that is cute." Blitz says smirking.

Terra giggles. "Look at her. This is what being queen, princess, diplomat, and mother will do to you."

"Or a mother." Blitz reminds Terra.

Terra sighs. "I think it's time to visit mother's famous last spot. I think you know which."

"Yeah, I will come along as well." Blitz says.

Terra smiles and holds Arcane. "So…how much longer till you get here?"

"We will be exiting hyperspace soon. After that, it will be a short flight to the castle so you, yes, you Terra, round up the girls for me. Your father in law insists." Blitz says jokingly.

Terra rolls her eyes and winks. "Sure. Bye honey and watch over mommy." She said the last part to Arcane before flying off.

"Oh Arcane, I got a few surprises for you and the others when I get home." Blitz says.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me." Arcane kept repeating.

"Nuh uh, you have to wait for it like the rest of your siblings, speaking of which, Pinkie, Sunshine." Blitz greets.

They both appear on top of the screen. "Yes?" They both ask.

"Preparing breakfast for everyone you two silly fillies?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie hums. "Well…Twilight is tired as heavy and we need to make food for everypony now."

"I'm coming home in a few hours so prepare some for me." Blitz says.

Pinkie salutes and goes back as Sunshine stays. "Hi dad." She said waving.

"Hey Shine, you getting along with your big brother?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine giggles and hugs Arcane's head. "Yeppers."

"And what about your other siblings and mothers?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine nods happily. "Yep. So happy."

"I see. Look out, Arcane is about to tickle you." Blitz jokingly warns.

Arcane cheers as he grabs Sunshine and starts tickling her.

"Oh, that is so cute." Twilight says drinking coffee.

Blitz smiles. "I see you're wide awake now."

"Not entirely." Twilight says as a changeling brought in Aether.

Aether coos as the sight of Arcane and Sunshine playing around and clasps her hooves.

"Oh hey there Aether. You just wake up?" Twilight asks.

Aether laughs and holds out her hooves.

"Oh ok, mommy got you." Twilight says taking her.

Aether smiles and nuzzles her as she hugs her.

"I'll be home soon. You behave yourselves, ok?" Blitz asks.

They all laugh as they play with each other as the changeling shrugs to him.

Blitz nods before cutting the connection.

"Oh this is precious." Blitz says quietly as he walks into Vinyl's room where she was sleeping with a bundle.

E. Vinyl sighs. "Yeah, she hasn't left the little guy's side." She whispered.

"Oh and what about you miss expecting?" Blitz jokes.

E. Vinyl smiles and leans onto him. "Doing fine. Ready for a birth?"

"Oh, are you now?" Blitz asks before kissing her cheek before he sneaks closer to Vinyl.

E. Vinyl shakes her head. "No, but I'll be waiting in the infirmary until I do."

"Hey V." Blitz says quietly touching her.

Vinyl's ear twitches before opening her eyes and looking around and lands on Blitz. "Blitzy. You made it back." She said tiredly.

"Yeah." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Vinyl sighs and holds out her hoof for him to grab. "I missed you."

"I missed you as well. So how is our little Ice and Juko?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl sighs and lifts her other hoof to let him see both Ice and Juko sleeping beside each other.

"Oh, look who is a great mother." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs and tries to rest again. "Now…let me…"

Blitz kisses her cheek and brings the covers around them. Blitz smiles and walks out now and sees E. Vinyl walking away. "Make sure you drink plenty of fluids." He calls after closing the door.

"Will do and look forward to you in bed again." E. Vinyl says before turning on her headphones.

Blitz sighs as he walks around the castle. "Nice to see this place again."

"Nice to see you too." Rainbow says landing on his back.

Blitz chuckles and looks to her. "You miss me?"

"Oh yeah and we are coming at you one at a time to not overwhelm you." Rainbow says.

Blitz smirks and gets her off his back and places her on the ground before kissing her cheek. "It's good to see you girls."

"You know it." Rainbow says shaking her flank at him as she walked away.

Blitz grins as he keeps watching. "Oh yeah, still a sexy flank." He said walking down the hall again. "Next."

"That is me." Spitfire says walking around a corner.

Blitz sighs. "Where's our little boy?"

"Da?" A little voice asks.

Blitz smiles and looks over her shoulder to see Sunrise on her back. "Hey there little Sunrise. You've been good for mommy?"

"Ye." Sunrise says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Still a momma's boy."

"Why wouldn't he be?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire smiles and nuzzles him. "I have to go. Don't worry, you'll see us all in one place again." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek before walking away.

"I will see you soon my son." Blitz says before nuzzling Sunrise.

Sunrise giggles and nuzzles back. "Ba ba."

Spitfire smiles as she walks away with Sunrise.

"Ok, who is next?" Blitz asks.

"Dad, it's time." He hears.

"Oh?" Blitz asks following the voice.

Terra smiles as she waits right by a bag and resting on a couch. "Hi dad." She said as he came into the room.

"Ok, I met with everyone else already. You told Twi you need me for a bit right?" Blitz asks.

Terra nods and floats over to him. "Yeah, she understands."

"I have got to tell her one of these days about Hurricane." Blitz says.

Terra smiles softly and hugs him. "She was so amazing."

"Yeah." Blitz says before Terra teleports them away.

Terra sniffs as they appear in front of a boulder on a mountainside. "She always came here, hoping to see you again."

Blitz, hearing this, just takes a seat.

Terra keeps sniffing as she starts to cry. "She always took me and soon my husband here, to let us know who our father was. I never get why she kept visiting a cave camp…until I met you. Then I realized why. You were exactly as she described. Strong, faithful, family stallion, always there to protect. She wanted us to know that you were the greatest thing to happen to her." She said now fully crying as she sat down herself. "Mommy."

Blitz just let silent tears of his own fall to the ground as he mourned.

Terra cries as she falls flat to the ground crying. "Mommy."

Blitz puts a hoof on her shoulder and waits till she was ready as he cried his own tears.

"You two." They hear. "Always trying to cry your own way."

They both quickly look up and see somepony they never though they would see. "Mom…mom…" Terra tries to say as she kept crying.

Hurricane smiles and puts her hooves on both their shoulders. "You're both good ponies and I love you both very much."

"Hurricane." Blitz asks.

Hurricane keeps smiling as she turns to him. "Time traveler. Ghost spirit my flank."

"Was the best I could come up with." Blitz jokes as he still lets the tears fall.

Hurricane chuckles as she turns to Terra who has her mouth covered by her hooves at the sight of her. "You've grown. Became the pony you were always meant to be."

Blitz reaches out to hold her.

Hurricane shakes her head as she steps back. "No, I'm not like her. I'm just a simple pegasus who won a coin toss."

"No, you're not. You are Hurricane, a pony I love and the mother of my son." Blitz says his eyes tearing up again.

Hurricane smiles. "Yeah and apparently grandmother to some high ranking princesses." She said smirking slightly.

"Hurricane." Blitz says starting to break down.

Hurricane smiles truthfully as she turns to him now. "I love you Blitzkrieg and I'll never forget it. You have changed my life, set me right on my ways, and made our land soar. And I couldn't have done it without you. You are the greatest thing to happen to me and when I had our son come into the family…I knew I had to tell him too."

"No, I am not. I left you when I should have stayed." Blitz says unable to even look at her.

Hurricane chuckles. "How could you? You were forced back. I know the hooves of time and space won't allow to stay, but I always remember the times we had. In that short time, I had come to remember you fondly."

"I don't deserve kind words. I lied, manipulated, and used you." Blitz says.

Hurricane smirks. "Used or allowed?"

"It was using. I took advantage of you." Blitz continue to belittle himself.

Terra sniffs. "Daddy?" She asks softly.

"I don't even deserve to get to see you again." Blitz says.

Hurricane lifts his head up and makes him turn to her. "Does this feel wrong?" She asks before slowly wrapping her hooves around him and he feels her slightly go through him. A ghost. "I can feel your pain. Leaving me wounded you greatly and you hide your pain so others won't be affected."

Terra sniffs as she tries to regain control of herself. "Mommy, daddy?"

"I can't forgive myself. Not for everything I have done or will knowingly do. I am a disgrace to our kind. I can only kill. Anything I do, I leave bodies in my wake." Blitz says.

Hurricane smiles and makes his head turn to Terra. "You made her a husband. With me."

"And still I know not all survived in the lands and I also killed those windigos and the worst part is, I can't come to regret those whose lives I took." Blitz says.

Hurricane sighs. "Death happens. It will happen anyway. We have no choice at times. Those windigos, they were born out of hatred and melted out of kindness and friendship. But the lives at your hooves…" She gains a serious tone at the end as he clenches himself for any blow. "I know not what they did, nor what they would have done. I just know that you stopped them. If you did it, you have a good reason."

"How can you be so sure?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane smiles. "I don't. I just know that with your heart, you have been through a lot and know what has to be done. You actually turn us against each other at the meeting, but not to cause mischief, but to end it and get on ahead because of the coming storm. Our nights, I never regret them one single bit. Your time with me, it showed me you have the greatest heart I have ever met in my life. And I'm proud to call you my husband."

Blitz couldn't say anything as he just broke down.

Hurricane smiles gently and pats his back, even though she kept going through him. "I miss you Blitzkrieg and I don't regret any second of it for you have not only changed your life or mine, but everyone and whether it must be for the good or bad, you always have that special place in your heart to make it good for everyone."

"You always were an angel to me." Blitz says.

Terra sniffs as she tries to hold back her unstoppable tears. "Mommy. I'm sorry." She cries as she didn't look at her.

Hurricane shakes her head. "You don't need to be sorry. My son is not your fault. It's nopony. He's like his father, making sure everything is alright with the world and beyond." She said looking at the crying Blitz.

Terra sniffs. "That still doesn't excuse it. I'm a poor daughter to you."

Hurricane smiles gently and opens her other leg to her. "Come here."

Terra sniffs as she drags herself over to Blitz's crying form and leans against him as Hurricane tries and hugs them both. "You will always be in my heart. And I'll always love you. Never forget that."

Blitz sniffs and tries to look at her. "And we won't forget you."

Hurricane smiles and looks behind her before looking back at them. "I have to go now. But I'll always be here. No matter what, right here." She said pointing to their hearts. "And here." She said then pointing to their heads. "Bye now." She said taking a few steps back.

Blitz sniffs as he tries to hold back the last of his tears. "Hurricane?"

Hurricane smiles as she looks to him. "Yes?"

Blitz sniffs as he tries to smile. "If he's there, say hello for me and for her." He said wrapping a hoof around Terra's.

Hurricane chuckles. "He never was." She said before she started to disappear.

Terra finally lets the last of tears fall as she disappeared.

"Mommy!"

Blitz just stared at the ceiling as he petted Terra's mane as she kept sniffing every now and then for the past few hours. "We have to tell."

"I can't father." Terra says.

"I understand. I will go talk to Twilight first. Will you be ok?" Blitz asks.

Terra sniffs as she wipes her tear stained face with her hooves. "Yeah."

"I will come to check up on you soon." Blitz says getting up.

Terra chokes back a sob. "I still miss her."

"I do as well." Blitz says before leaving.

"Twi, please sit down. I have something to tell you." Blitz says after leading Twilight to a room to talk alone.

Twilight sits down nearby. "What is it?"

"Twi, something happened when I was sent to the past I never told you about." Blitz says.

Twilight was confused. "What is it?"

"You remember me asking you to get some books on that time?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "What's this about Blitz?"

"Well…I may have…" Blitz clears his throat. "You know how Celestia and Luna keep jokingly refer to us as grandparents after the whole baby incident?" Blitz asks.

Twilight chuckles. "Yeah, the foals really like it, thinking they are like mothers themselves."

"Well there is another reason they call us that." Blitz says getting nervous.

Twilight goes a little wide eyed. "Oh my Celestia, what did you do?"

"I may have had intercourse with one of the founding mares." Blitz says backing up.

Twilight stares at him. "What?"

"I may have gotten Hurricane pregnant." Blitz says against the wall.

Twilight's horn lights up and he braces himself before feeling nothing and sees Twilight looking through a history book. "Well now the mysterious knight makes sense now."

"What? You are not mad?" Blitz asks still bracing.

Twilight slams the book closed. "Oh I am. And now I'm going to give you the same punishment as you did."

"Also Twi, Terra needs some emotional support. We saw Hurricane's ghost." Blitz says looking sad again.

Twilight sighs and puts the book away. "Go to the foals. I'll deal with Terra."

"Twi." Blitz says as Twilight picked up on his sadness.

Twilight sighs. "I'm not mad. Just upset you didn't tell us at all. Nopony neither. I can't let that past."

"Well the main reason I didn't say anything was because I'm not sure how it affected the space time continuum." Blitz says before they started talking about that and Twilight theorized.

"So I understand a little better. You feared that just by talking about it, it would cause a distortion in reality?" Twilight asks.

"Basically yes." Blitz says.

Twilight adopts a thinking pose. "Hum, well I can't fault your logic or caution as we know next to nothing on that sort of thing." Twilight says.

"So?" Blitz asks as it started reaching a point where he could barely keep up in the conversation with his wife.

Twilight sighs. "You're still punished."

"Oh, and what if I do this?" Blitz asks before raspberrying her neck making her laugh.

Twilight laughs before pushing him away hard. "Blitz…ha ha…you basically kept this from us. When those two could have been true family." She said rubbing her neck.

"Celestia is still trying to forgive herself for almost banishing her baby uncle." Blitz says starting to tickle her.

Twilight keeps trying to push him away. "Cut that out. I'm still mad."

"No you're not. You are just trying to teach me a lesson and I have you." Blitz says kissing her.

Twilight groans into the kiss before sighing internally and just kisses him back. 'Idiot.'

"So who is a loving mare?" Blitz asks letting go of the kiss.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Who's a good stallion?"

"That would be our colt Arcane." Blitz says making her smile.

Twilight sighs. "Call them up. Get them here. I think it's time for a family outing."

"You were looking for an excuse weren't you?" Blitz asks.

Twilight hits his head. "I always wanted them to be like family and that's your punishment."

"Oh I'm hearing. Let's go for a third." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight frowns. "No."

"You say that, but your body says yes." Blitz jokes nuzzling her.

Twilight keeps frowning. "Stop it."

"Oh so what did you think about the gifts I brought this time and the kids new pet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight pokes his chest. "That thing won't hurt them, right?"

"No, in fact it has a defense against all force abilities." Blitz says bringing up an article for her. "Now, Twi tonight, who is going to share a bed with me?" Blitz asks before nibbling her ear.

Twilight moans as she frowns. "Would you stop?"

"Not until you are satisfied and happy." Blitz says before starting to kiss her again.

Twilight groans as she kept trying to hold him back and he backs off a little. "I am until you get them here."

"Ok." Blitz says before paging them all. "Now I have to keep us entertained while we wait." Blitz says before starting to make out with her again.

Twilight rolls her eyes as he kisses her.

"Whoa Twi, you really needed him that much?" Rainbow teases Twilight.

Twilight has a goofy smile on her face as she laid down in a couch. "What?" She asks lost.

"So you going to me in his bed tonight?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight blinks confused. "Huh?" She asks waving her hooves in the air.

"Vinyl, can you get her to focus?" Rainbow asks.

"Aw, why should I? I like this Twilight. All in aftershock from the best rock in her life." Vinyl protested as she plays around with Twilight's hooves as she tries to grab Vinyl.

"Oh, what about Ice and Juko?" Spitfire asks.

Vinyl smirks as they hear something and look behind them to see Ice carrying a milk carton and Juko crawling behind her.

"I'm starting to think Twi will give birth to twice as many foals as the rest of us." Applejack says.

Rainbow shrugs. "Well she was first…beside you."

"Actually, the first one with foal is Octy there." E. Vinyl says.

Rainbow shakes her head. "No, I mean first choice."

Twilight giggles and cheers in her world. "Very big." She said lost as she keeps waving her hooves in the air.

"I think she is drunk." Daring says rocking her baby.

Twilight swoons. "Oh my. Again?" She asks almost turning to Rainbow.

"Twi, focus, you need to nurse your daughter." Rainbow says.

Twilight blinks. "What?" Rainbow sighs before hitting her on the head. "Ow! What the heck Rainbow?!" Twilight yells as she holds her head.

"Finally focused huh?" Applejack asks.

Twilight just used her magic tip off Applejack's hat. "I was enjoying that."

"Well it's time to nurse your daughter." Fluttershy says.

Twilight sighs. "Where is she?"

Fluttershy hums as she messes with her collar. "In the playroom with all the foals."

"Oh Aether, where are you?" Twilight calls playfully.

"Ma." Aether's head appears from the doorway on the other side of the hall.

"Come here my little girl. Come to mama." Twilight says outstretching her hooves.

Aether laughs and crawls on to her.

Twilight smiles and picks her up before carrying her to the couch and wraps her wing over her to conceal the feeding.

"So how's the princesses doing?" Rainbow asks seeing the two playing with the foals in the playroom.

"You all don't seem to surprised or even that angry when I told you." Twilight points out.

Rainbow shrugs. "They're family. I'm loyalty."

"Not even a little miffed about him not telling us?" Twilight asks.

They all shrug.

"If I say yes, will I get what you got?" Rainbow jokes.

Twilight glares slightly to her.

"Oh, sign me up for that." Vinyl jokes.

Twilight sighs and rolls her eyes.

Most of the mares there laughed hearing that.

Terra sniffs as she still laid on the couch. "Mommy."

"Mrs. Terra?" She hears Arcane call and come in.

"Huh? Oh little Arcane." Terra says wiping her face again for the hundredth time.

Arcane looks concerned as he sees the state of her. "Are you okay?" He asks walking up to her.

Terra sniffs and shakes her head. "I'm fine dear. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your brothers and sisters?"

"I came to see my sister-in-law." Arcane says.

Terra sighs. "Well…you saw her. You better run off and deal with your own business." She said trying to lay down again and find a better position.

Arcane walks over and hugs her.

Terra tries to smile. "What are you doing?"

Arcane smiles. "Cheering you up."

Terra sniffs and hugs him back. "Oh Arcane. So noble, like your father."

"Yeah, now come on. The rest of my siblings are waiting for you." Arcane says.

Terra sniffs and nuzzles him. "Such a good boy. Let's go." She said letting go of him and getting up.

Blitz snores as he rested on the couch and the foals hung around him as they try and mess with him. "Come on, put this on." Azure said giving Sunshine the headphones.

"And what are you up to?" Blitz asks opening an eye.

Sunshine eeps and yells out as she fell off and landed in Azure's hooves. "You were awake?"

"Yeah, just letting you all play." Blitz says ruffling Sunshine's mane.

Sunshine fixes her name as he walks out. "Wow, no matter what, daddy's always happy with us."

"Alright everyone, to go see your mothers, ok?" Blitz asks.

"Da. Okay." He hears from mostly all of them and heads out.

"Geez. These guys can wear you out. We need a bigger playroom." Blitz said to himself.

"Or more." Twilight says walking up to him.

Blitz chuckles and looks to her. "Hey, heard you went to go do a presentation. My time with you helped out?"

"Oh, yes." Twilight says walking over to kiss his nose.

"Hey, can we get that too?" Night Glider asks walking up to them with DD.

Blitz chuckles and grabs them both before giving a kiss on their noses. "Happy?"

"Nope." DD says before capturing his lips.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "How long are you staying anyway?"

"Only until mine. I heard you are trying for your third." Night jokes.

Twilight sighs. "Why does that become common knowledge?" She grumbled to herself.

"Because you get very needy when you aim for another foal." DD says when Blitz moved onto Night and rubs her pregnant stomach.

Night sighs and nuzzles him. "He's so amazing."

"So how are you two pregnant mares doing?" Blitz asks petting DD's stomach now.

DD chuckles. "Pretty good. Just hungry most of the time."

"Oh ready to be a mother you two?" Blitz asks twisting one of DD's nipples with his magic.

DD eeps and glares to him. "Blitz."

"What snow bunny?" Blitz asks picking her up and holding her.

DD raises an eyebrow at him.

"I thought you loved the attention." Blitz whispers into her ears before nipping it playfully.

DD grumbles as Night snickers. "Yeah, she loves it so much, she asked me to do some things."

"And when she is healed up from giving birth, I will." Blitz whispers the rest into DD's ear.

DD blushes heavily. "Oh you tease."

"Does this prove I am serious?" Blitz asks twisting all of her nipples with his magic.

DD eeps loudly as Twilight sighs. "Geez, you sure want to touch us."

"I had to go half a year without doing that. And don't pretend all of you are missing my touch." Blitz says.

They all smile at that. "We don't." They said playfully.

"Oh?" Blitz asks before pulling all of their tails with his magic.

They all jumped at that. "Blitz."

"And I'm not done." Blitz says smirking, putting DD down before using his magic to hold them all in place and goes to each one and smacks their flanks.

They all yelp. "He's a bit kinky." Night said moaning. "Like it rough?"

"No, but I know I am turning all three of you on." Blitz says smirking.

"He is teasing us." Twilight says as DD drooled a bit.

Night smirks. "Want us to lift our tails too?"

"Twi maybe, but you two know I can't do you till after the little ones." Blitz says.

Night chuckles. "But do you want to see them?" She asks lifting her tail slightly.

"I already know what they look like." He said before sending a message to Night's omnitool.

Night hears her omnitool beep. "Um…you still got us stuck." She said pulling her leg and gets no leverage.

Blitz releases the spell and nuzzles both Night and DD before Night wraps a hoof around DD. "Come on DD, we have something to do, remember?"

DD shakes herself. "Yeah, whatever. Do you still that food we left behind?"

"What did you do?" Twilight asks.

"Do Soarin and DD still hate the plastic?" Blitz asks.

Twilight scratches her head. "Somewhat. Night is trying to have them get use to it."

"Then DD is going to hate what is coming." Blitz whispers to her.

Twilight sighs. "Oh Blitz. You know. I have been looking into the whole time travel thing." She said walking again.

"Please don't. It hurts my head every time I think about how technically you're the grandmother of Celestia and Luna when you are younger and they wouldn't exist if not for me and I would have never gone back in time if not for…ow…I have a headache now." Blitz says holding his head.

Twilight giggles and wraps a wing around him as she pulls him along. "Come on dear. Let's see about where do I can give a family grave for her."

"Ok Night, what are we doing here again?" DD asks trying to cool down from having Blitz rile her up in the shower.

Night smiles as she tries to find the box in the sink cupboard. "One sec."

"Did you have to hide the things here and not the kitchen we all use? I mean, I know this is a recent addition and it's nice and all, but it is quite a walk." DD says her back to Night.

Night smirks. "Because we were a late addition. They had no choice in the matter of building."

"Well I guess we are a big family now. We will need more rooms of rooms we have." DD says.

Night chuckles as she opens the box. "Yep." She said grabbing something.

"Also, was it necessary to lock the door so a foal can't come in and see where we keep the hard cider and stuff?" DD asks before she feels something be put around her neck and finds she cannot move.

Night smiles as she leans against her and hugs her. "So…you wanted more."

"Oh no." DD says knowing what Night was up to before Night starts attaching things to keep her hind legs spread apart and handcuffs her to a pole.

Night chuckles as she starts kissing her neck slightly. "I'm not Blitz, but I know what makes you tick." She whispered.

DD tried to free herself when Night put a gag in her mouth.

Night sighs as she massages her flanks. "Look at us, both pregnant and needy."

DD tries to look for a way out for anything.

Night kisses her cheek. "Just enjoy. I'm not going to hurt you so please, for the sake of us and Blitz, enjoy." She said moving her hips onto DD's.

DD goes wide eyed when she saw what Night had in her hooves.

"So which first, your flank or the second set of lips?" Night whispers into her ear.

DD gulps as she keeps trying to break free.

"Oh, my choice?" Night asks before shoving something into DD's flank.

DD screams into the gag as she makes the chains rattle around.

"Now for the other one." Night says slipping the second one into her more slowly.

DD groans as she tries to get away and move forward.

"And now, power on." Night whispers into her ear.

DD goes wide eyed and screams into the gag before freezing up and moaning.

"You like that, don't you DD? It's vibrating both at once." Night says.

DD moans loudly into the gag and slowly the rattle of chains stop.

"Good mare. How long till you lose yourself to the pleasure this time?" Night asks.

DD gulps as she thrashes her flank toward her. Night smiles and lays onto her. DD moans slightly and slowly looks to her pleadingly.

Night smiles and removes the gag before kissing her.

DD moans loudly into the kiss and tries to move her hooves around her.

"Nu uh, now it's time to raise the settings." Night says.

DD starts to moan weakly and lazily looks to her.

"Oh who is a good snow bunny?" Night asks.

DD snacks her lips. "Me." She moans.

"Good girl." Night says before kissing her.

Twilight smiles as she leads Blitz along. "You feel better?" She asks giving him a massage.

"Yes, dear." Blitz says leaning into her scratching his head.

Twilight smiles. "Good boy." She teased.

"Only for you." Blitz teases right back.

Twilight giggles and leans down to him. "Want to head out now or enjoy my hooves more?"

"We best walk around and see what's going on." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and let's go of him. "Want to see the map and where we went?"

"Sure, I hear you even met Rara." Blitz says.

Twilight laughs. "Applejack told you about her when you were younger huh?"

"Told? I was there." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "You went to summer camp?"

"Yeah, it was the last year before all of it went down. Also, has Ahsoka told you she has accepted her feelings and agreed to marry?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she takes out a list from nowhere and writes down Ahsoka's name. "There we go." She said rolling it up before poofing it away.

"Also, she is here as if you didn't already know that and Twi, help me keep this out of the foal's grasp." Blitz says showing his newly made lightsaber.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "What the…why is it different?"

"I made a new one." Blitz says before putting it away.

Twilight frowns. "Blitz." She scolds as they enter the map room.

Blitz grins. "What…?" Blitz stops seeing someone in Fluttershy's chair. "Um…excuse me…that's Fluttershy's." He told Starlight Glimmer politely even though he was ready to tear her a new one.

"How did you even get in here?" Twilight asks almost angrily as they hear hissing from above them.

"Oh my god, tell me you are not using the headache inducing time travel bull to enact revenge. I have enough headaches with this without you doing this." Blitz says.

Starlight just stares at them a bit surprised before shrugging and taking out a scroll and throwing it into the air and shoots it with magic before it creates a gear circle and hits the map table with magic too as changelings tried to go after her, but a barrier of gears appears around the table and blocks them as she herself floats in the air with her magic and flies off into the portal made above the map and disappears as the portal closes and barrier falls.

Blitz, seeing this, but his hooves to his face and lets out a sigh of despair. "Twi, please summon my combat gear." Blitz managed.

Twilight facehooves as she lights up her horns and brings the case at his hooves. "I hate her."

"Don't hate it, only makes things worse." Blitz says getting dressed.

Twilight sighs before the scroll from before floated down and she catches it. "Hang on, this is way too old. And all this is…" She goes wide eyed. "Um…Blitz?"

"It reopened?" Blitz asks turning into a pegasus so he could fly.

Twilight shakes her head. "This is Starswirl's original time travel spell. Heavily modified."

"I figured it was time travel just from looking at the portal. It looked sort of like a clock from the outset." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns and lights up her horn. "Well we aren't doing much good here. We have to follow her. Stay here and protect the room." She calls the last sentence to the changelings as Blitz follows her to the table sighing all the way. "Okay…let's see…"

"It's going to be one of those days." Blitz says to the changelings who nod in understanding.

Twilight then smiles and fires a spell at the scroll before it flies up and does the same thing and they are both sucked into it.

"Seriously, one of those days." Blitz said crossing his hooves as they travel through a portal tunnel that had clock gears all around.

Twilight frowns. "But when would she go?"

"Just follow the trail she left behind she obviously wants us to follow or she wouldn't have waited till now and tossed the spell aside for us to use." Blitz says.

Twilight ends up staring at him.

"Can you think of a logical reason besides that one?" Blitz asks.

Twilight opens her mouth to speak, but stops short as they reach the end of the tunnel and fall through. "Crap!" She yells before hitting hard road as Blitz landed on top of her. "Blitz, I know you're happy and all to be back, but we already went one round."

Blitz lets out a sigh. "Twi, after all of this, I am going to need something hard to drink." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight groans as she gets up. "I'm sure the changelings have something." She said looking around and blinks at the sight of so many foals trying to fly.

"Oh look, Dashie." Blitz says as she flew by.

Twilight blinks at the sight. "Cloudsdale, Rainbow?"

"The story on cutie marks." Blitz says blatantly.

Twilight stares for a few moments before facehoofing. "Oh boy. Come on, let's get to the race." She said before flying off.

"Why not just use a tracking spell and she already flew away." Blitz says before sighing and flying after her.

Twilight goes wide eyed. "Blitz, we don't know what she…dang it." She said to herself as she lands beside the Blitz encased in crystal. "Really?"

"Really, this is what you are doing Starlight? A question, have you consider what effect this will have on the space time continuum and she is not listening and is on a rant. Perfect." Blitz says as his armor was encased, but he could still freely talk in his armor.

Twilight frowns before she sees her fire a spell that made the young Rainbow's wing lock up. "And we are done."

"She is screwing over the space time continuum...and most likely erasing our foals from existence." Blitz says now starting to feel hate great amounts of hate and anger.

Twilight places her on the crystal sadly before a portal opened above them and pulled them in. "That's the time frame. From the bullying to the Sonic Rainboom." She summarized as they travel through the tunnel.

"I'm going to kill her." Blitz says not hesitating after being freed.

Twilight places a hoof on him. "And she stopped you immediately and we don't have guns."

"I am going to use the force to choke her to death and while cutting out her heart and feeding it to her." Blitz says letting his anger rule him here.

Twilight keeps frowning as they hit the other end and travel through the tunnel and land on a plain with the table next to them.

"Ow. Add landing badly to that hate list." Twilight said slowly getting up.

Blitz looks left, then right. "Love where or when are we?" Blitz asks.

Twilight groans as she looks around as well. "I don't know. You ever seen something like this before?" She asks seeing an almost dead land.

"We are back in the time we left, correct?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks behind her and sees the table in ruin. "Well this is here…but…" She looks around for any sign of the castle.

"Geographically, the same exact place we left, but with no buildings." Blitz says voicing what Twilight was thinking.

Twilight hums as she looks a bit into the distance and sees some rooftops. "Over there maybe." She said pointing and walking the direction.

"Twi, to get back, what will you think we will need?" Blitz asks turning into his unicorn form and removes his helmet.

Twilight shrugs. "I don't know. I need to think for a bit."

"Ok." Blitz says as they walk into town which was mostly boarded up.

Twilight looks back to him. "Are you getting a familiar vibe for some reason?"

"It's Ponyville, but not the one we know." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as she looks at a window and sees a mare who quickly closes her window. "Yeah, like it's…do you see smoke?" She asks seeing the smoke rising from Applejack's farm.

"Judging by it, I would say industry result and that doesn't look good." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Considering that Applejack hates the machines." She said walking towards it.

"Oh, I hate where this going." Blitz says as they come to the farm.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks to the barn and looks through a window to see a whole assembly line of apples put into cans. "Doda doda, dodado, doda doda, dodado. Danna, danna." She hums to herself before seeing Blitz look at her weirdly. "What? It's factory music. I can't get it out of my head when we have an assembly line."

"You have been hanging around the factories too much." Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. "Blame the Muzak." She said before heading to the entrance.

"Well I know she wouldn't wear that. You mind talking to here?" Blitz asks seeing Applejack in a strange military outfit.

Twilight nods as she walks up. "Applejack?" She calls.

"Yeah, can I help you?" Applejack asks not looking too pleased.

Twilight frowns a bit as she looks around. "What happened here?"

Applejack raises an eyebrow like she always did. "You came out of a vault or something?"

Blitz sits on the ground waiting, trying to calm himself.

"Blitzkrieg, you mind helping me?" Twilight asks.

Applejack goes a little wide eyed. "Bli…Blitz…no. You must be pulling my tail." She said with anger evident in her voice.

"Take a chill pill Jackie before you break out the rope." Blitz says.

Applejack blinks. "Oh my, it is you. But…you…"

"Yeah, long story. You mind helping me out. My son has been taken and I am trying to track down the bastards that dare foalnapped him and I chased him to this continent and I need an update on what is happening here because it's been so long." Blitz says.

Applejack slowly frowns. "Then it has to be King Sombra. Sorry, but he's most likely turned into his personal army or dead."

"What has happened Jackie?" Blitz asks with Applejack seeing he was having a hard time keeping calm.

Applejack sighs dreadfully. "When the crystal Empire retuned, King Sombra came back with it. And it didn't take long for every one of his subjects to fight for him for Equestria. And even with Princess Celestia, it still takes all of us, doing their part to fight for Equestria. We went from a peace loving country to war country."

"I see. Twi get your wings ready. We have some traveling some do." Blitz says as Applejack notices Twilight was an alicorn.

Twilight smiles a bit as she flares her wings. "You're going to end this war early, aren't you?"

"I'm going to kill anyone who gets in my way." Blitz says donning his helmet.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, let's do this." She said before taking off with him turning into a pegasus and following.

"Blitzy." Applejack says sadly.

"Ok, we now know history has been changed." Twilight says.

"What are we going to need to reactivate the spell?" Blitz asks.

Twilight frowns. "That scroll. It seems it is the center point of all this. Maybe providing the spark as it were."

"Yes, but will you need any items to do this?" Blitz asks.

"Maybe a Rachtium crystal. I have been using them for a lot of my spells lately." Twilight says and Blitz looked confused. "Oh, they are a recent discovery to us. We discovered them while you were fighting in the war."

"And where is the nearest deposit?" Blitz asks.

"Um…northern Equestria bordering the crystal kingdom from the original timeline." Twilight offers.

Blitz facehooves. "Okay, give me time. For now, let's see about this crystal empire right now and is that a camp?" He asks looking down and looks ahead to see a worn out field with holes and craters. He said as he stops flying and hovers there. "Again I have to see this, but in my home."

Twilight looks to him sadly as he slowly lands down near the edge with her following. "How many?"

"Thousands. Ill equipped on both sides, this is fighting with hooves, not weapons." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Come on. Let's see if we can find the princesses in this." She said spreading her wings.

"Princess, only one." Blitz says looking up at the night sky to the moon.

Twilight stops and looks up. "Oh Luna."

"Without the elements, she must still be nightmare moon." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Let's go. This isn't our world, but we can change something."

"Twi, you told me Sombra's magic can make you live your worst fear at the time, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, why?"

"If he uses it on me and my current state, I might use the power of the dark side and channel all my hate and anger in my power. You know what it can do, don't you?" Blitz asks.

"You could become the most powerful dark powered being in the world at this time." Twilight says.

"Yes and we both know the force has the potential to destroy entire planets." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. "Want to see your granddaughter first?"

"She wouldn't understand, but you can meet her. I will stay outside." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and flies inside the camp as Blitz keeps watching the battlefield where fighting will resume tomorrow. Blitz didn't even look around when he heard somepony land. "Can I help you?"

Blitz sighs and looks behind him to see Rainbow with a short cut mane and a metal wing. "You kinda hated the future for flight on your wings. Wanted to go all natural." He mused.

"What was that?" Rainbow asks.

"Nothing." Blitz says turning back to the battlefield.

Rainbow frowns. "Hey, can we help you?"

"Unless you bring me Sombra's head, no." Blitz says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Nopony can get close to him."

"With your pathetic fighting, I can understand why." Blitz says.

Rainbow growls. "Pathetic? I'll show you pathetic!" She yells and launches herself at him.

Blitz, in a moment, turns into his pegasus form and flips over her before landing where he sat again.

Rainbow stops and stares at him. "What the…Sombra soldier."

"If I was, why didn't I attack you or not hiding to spy on you?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow frowns as she gets up. "What do you want?"

"King Sombra is in my way to finding my son." Blitz says.

Rainbow tilts her head. "Your son?"

"Yes, my son. He was either kidnapped him or is just in my way in my search to find my foal." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "Right and I'm the freaking princess."

"Well pardon me your royal highness. Should I curtsy for you?" Blitz says sarcastically.

Rainbow growls. "You're a frigging idiot. You won't even make it onto the field."

"Who will stop me that will live?" Blitz asks seriously as he returns to being a unicorn.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and steps aside. "Go ahead, go out there and die."

"I can't. My companion wanted to meet with Celestia before we go forward. Also Sombra isn't here. The Sombra you have been chasing is an illusion created by him." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops and stares at him as Twilight returned with Celestia behind her. "You have come far Blitzkrieg. I commend that."

"Commend the fact Sombra is tricking you and have an illusion." Blitz said shaking himself as Twilight steps up to him.

"What do you mean?" Celestia asks.

"Do you really think that the overlord would so easily come to the front lines? That is too easy." Blitz says.

Celestia blinks as Twilight sighs and looks to Blitz. "Whatever you are going to do, do it now. We have to find those crystals."

"I am going to walk right through their frontline, but I know you want to help them Twi so I will wait until morning. Then you will see how you should fight a war." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow to Celestia as she stared at them. "I'll prepare the plans." She said before walking off.

"Twi, stay back tomorrow. It is going to get messy." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes at him. "I said I'm going to prepare the plans. Didn't you hear me?"

"As long as you are not on the frontlines, then I am fine with that." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and continues walking into camp.

Blitz doesn't move from his spot as Rainbow was in shock of not only the second alicorn, but that Blitz wasn't intimidated by Celestia.

"Seriously, get out of those jewels unless you have magical wards in them, they are useless. The suits would do more good here." Blitz comments. Rainbow was dumbfounded enough to snap out of it from that comment. "Good, you are back to reality, now you can leave." Blitz says.

Rainbow opens her mouth, but a wave from Celestia shut her up and she took off and left. "You are certainly not from here." She said looking back to Blitz.

"If I was, I would be as useless as the guards in a fight." Blitz says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "Really? They are useless?"

"You don't even use weapons. This is a comedy, not a war." Blitz says.

Celestia just keeps a stoic face. "We never had a war for a long time. Do you think we would be making it so easily now?"

"The battlefield is my home." Blitz says.

Celestia tilts her head a bit. "What do you know about me?"

"More than you will even know, granddaughter of Hurricane." Blitz says.

Celestia's stoic face finally broke and looks surprised at him.

"We are done here." Blitz says.

Celestia blinks and watches at he starts to leave. "Wait."

Then to her shock, he just disappeared entirely.

"I hate that." Celestia said walking back to her tent.

The next morning, Rainbow was talking to her squad about what happened last night.

"I'm telling you. He turned into a pegasus to avoid me." Rainbow says.

Another mare with a fiery mane shakes her head. "Impossible. Not even Celestia will do that."

"But it did happen. He even chewed out the princess a bit, calling us pathetic in a fight." Rainbow says.

"That's a meanie pants." A pink pony said with a flat pink mane.

"Dash, you need to lay off the cider. No way the princess would let that slide." A purple flat mane pony said next to the pink one with a swear jar very close to being full.

"He's a crude shrill…oh forget it. He's a nonsensical mother bucker!" The pink pony yells out before dropping a bit into the jar calmly.

"He also said he will walk right through the frontlines today in the battle." Rainbow says.

They all look to each other surprised. "That's suicide. He'll never make it." The fiery mane said.

"He sounded serious. I don't know what his deal is, but he sure seems that way to me." Rainbow says.

"And let me guess, the princess will want us to back him up right?" A white mane pegasus asks.

"He also said the Sombra here is an illusion." Rainbow adds.

"Huh?" Maud asks.

"Illusion." Rainbow said.

"Hum…what makes the mother bucker say that?" Pinkamena asks putting another bit into the jar.

Rainbow shrugs. "I don't know. Something about that he is too smart to appear on the frontline."

"He meant he only would do so if he was forced." Twilight says walking up, making Spitfire do a spit take.

"What the heck?! Another princess?!" She yells looking at her.

"Still think I was drunk?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight sighs. "You girls will be with Blitz on the front lines. Behind him though. And you will learn from him. I have seen what he can do in a battle and you don't want him against you."

"Yeah right. How good could he be?" Maud asks.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Wait and see. You have to get to the frontline right now."

"Yeah, yeah, come on girls. Time for the daily battle of this stalemate." Spitfire says.

Twilight huffs. "Celestia would disagree with what I have given her." She said walking away.

"Hey Spinner, you seen an unusual stallion around here? We are running defense for him." Spitfire asks.

Spinner just points to the armored pony at the front near the trench line. He was sitting on a rock above the trench, waiting.

Blitz sighs as he shakes his head. "Pathetic. Cloth uniforms and they get metal and crystal. Idiots."

"Care to repeat that?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Gladly, this isn't a war, it's a fucking joke." Blitz says.

Pinkamena holds up the swear jar to him.

"Foolish, they have hidden troops in the middle of the field under the snow. All alone, too far to get help." Blitz says.

They all lean out to see them. "Where?" Rainbow asks.

"Halfway from the enemy camp." Blitz says.

Rainbow narrows her eyes. "Um…there's nothing."

"You will see." Blitz says getting up and starts walking, despite cries for him to come back.

"Oh, there's a barb wire you need to cut. Their clothes aren't that good!" Twilight calls behind the lines.

"Um…Twilight, was it?" Celestia asks.

Twilight looks up to her. "Yes?"

"Um…Blitzkrieg is walking forward without everyone." Celestia says as the wind kicks up and the line of sight started to be blurred.

Twilight shrugs. "He's like that. He would literally walk into battle for his family."

Celestia looks at her and soon they heard screams and war cries.

Twilight sighs as she hears the others grumble. "Well he is dead. Can we get back to our normal assignment?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight holds up a hoof. "Wait for it."

After a few minutes, the screams stopped and Blitz returned and soon tossed a half destroyed captain helmet with blood on it into the trench before getting back onto his seat.

Twilight hums as she picks it up and looks it over. "Weird. This is metal…but Sombra destroyed its protection by having some control spells in it."

"Ten minutes." Blitz says as the troops start watching him.

Twilight then tossed the helmet into the air before firing a spell at it. "Normal fire spell should have destroyed the last protection before a magical blast of force should do it." She said as the pieces fell around her.

"I think you have to reevaluate your opinion Rainbow." Spitfire says.

Twilight yawns as she sits by Blitz. "Weaker than ours, right?"

"My opinion hasn't changed." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she leans against him. "When can we go?"

"Five more minutes for them to shake off their shock or they will be completely useless." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and glares slightly to Celestia.

Celestia nods and signals the ponies to prepare to charge.

"So how much longer can we be here? If we at least get Sombra, we can end this early." Twilight asks.

"Yes and it will make it easier for us." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Can we finish this early? I don't want this to go on and see this world fall apart."

"It depends on them. You will be staying with Celestia while I work. Keep her on track as I carve a path." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles a bit. "You know I'm second best to Spike."

"Yes, you are." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight sighs and gets up as well and goes to Celestia. "Try and make it horrifying for him. Give him a taste of his own medicine."

"I will teach them the true horrors of war." Blitz says starting to walk forward as the other ponies get ready to charge as the snow and wind obscures their vision as it falters, showing the enemy getting ready to charge as well.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as Celestia gets ready to head in, but she places a hoof on her leg and makes her stop. "Only an idiot sends their commanders first."

"But my presence inspires the troops." Celestia says.

"Trust me, it's not the troops that need inspiration. It's the enemy when Blitz reaches them, beside, we both know with no Sombra there, you should conserve your power." Twilight says.

Celestia looks to her slightly confused as to how much this pony knew before just planting her hooves on the ground.

"Here we go. Spinner, make sure the new recruits don't get themselves killed." Spitfire says taking to the sky.

Spinner salutes as he turns to the new recruits.

"Charge!" A guard yells and the ponies started charging Sombra's forces and they started to do the same thing they always been doing. Blitz didn't even change his pace.

The two forces met far ahead of Blitz and started a brawl, punching and kicking each other. "Idiots even for Sombra. Make crystal weapons. You make crystal yourself." He said to himself.

"You seem relaxed." Maud says walking beside him with Pinkamena.

Blitz shrugs. "It's so petty. It's like watching nobles fight each other and they are even better than this."

"Oh, then why are you not in there yet?" Pinkamena chastises him.

"Because that is when the battle shifts into the next phase." Blitz says as three ponies charge them.

Maud frowns as she gets into a stance. "Pinkamena." She said and Pinkamena gets in her stance.

Blitz walks right past them as the three closed in. "Insects." Blitz says before withdrawing his claws on the right hoof and with a flash of silver, all three of the pony's heads flew off their bodies into the brawl. One hit the head of one of the guards and he turns around to see the severed head with blood still coming from it.

The solar guard looks to the head and jumps back surprised. "What the buck?!"

Blitz keeps walking to the frontline as Maud and Pinkamena could only stare at what just happened.

"What the buck?" They both ask and place a bit into the swear jar that appeared.

Blitz stepped into the battle line and pushed aside those on Celestia side and struck his claws through one of Sombra's ponies before tearing it out through the pony's right side, spraying blood in the direction.

Some blood fell onto the guards and they jump and try and wipe them off. "Not even good for healing." Blitz comments as he walks past.

Blitz then stopped and raised up onto his hindlegs. "This joke of a battle is over." Blitz says withdrawing his other claw before charging at Sombra's ponies on them with impressive speed and starts cutting through them like they are paper before jumping over them and spins midair, cutting off heads or at least part of them, spraying blood from everyone he cut down as he made his way to the center and really opens up as if he was in a berserker rage, slashing a few more times than necessary as blood flies everywhere, shocking the equestrian troops completely at his brutality.

"The buck is going on…?" Rainbow tries to ask.

Blitz then spies a wounded Sombra troop trying to crawl away and brings his hoof down and crushes the head in as the second wave approached.

"How…?" Celestia tries to ask in shock.

"It's as Blitz said, his home is the battlefield. He has lived so long there he can live no other way now." Twilight says sadly.

Celestia slowly looks to her. "How long?"

"Since he was a foal, he was foalnapped from this very country to be sold and was saved by ponies just like him. The mandalorians." Twilight says ringing a bell to Celestia.

Celestia blinks. "The Mandalorians. A so tough clan and only one survived before it was just a ghost."

"They survived in a sense, but left Equestria." Twilight says.

Celestia looks to her in small shock.

"None of the original clan line exists, but their teachings and ways survived. Blitz is one of those who follows their ways." Twilight says.

Celestia looks back to the battle as more blood was flying around. "So this is what my ancestor was like." Celestia says.

Blitz looks to the new wave before using his magic to start ripping the armor off the corpses and floats it in front of him.

Rainbow blinks as they were all stuck in sight. "What the heck is he…?"

They watch as the armor started to be torn apart into what was small pieces of shrapnel and the sharp ends start to point towards the charging ponies.

"Wait?! He isn't thinking of…?!" Spitfire yells.

Soon, all of the shards start flying ahead to meet the charging line and the result was gruesome as the shrapnel rips through the armor, the flesh, and bones.

They watch as the charging line slowly comes to a stop before falling down on each other. "This is…" One guard tries to say.

"War." Blitz finishes starting to walk forward once more.

"Blitz. End this. We still need the population of crystal ponies intact to survive. Finish this fight or knock them out and get to Sombra. Show a real fight." He hears Twilight over the radio.

Blitz nods and starts letting the force flow from him with a little darkness starting to amplify the fear the ponies of Sombra's troops felt. "Remove your armor and surrender now or don't and all of you will die. This is your only warning." Blitz calls.

They watch as the rest of the line stop before they had shaking legs reach up and start to remove their helmets and drop them to the ground and they start to quickly move and get rid of the armor.

Blitz starts marching again as they got out of the way out of fear. Fear so great to break Sombra's hold. Soon the enemy camp was ablaze.

Celestia gulps as she watches Blitz sit in front of the burning camp. "He's…"

"A product of war." Twilight says as the troops brought back the freed crystal ponies, which to most, shock was most of them.

Twilight sighs as she watches them. "At least that species line of ponies will survive. This world needs all…even elusive changelings. Blitz…come on back. Time to end this war." She calls into the communicator as she walks back into camp.

"Twilight, you are wrong. This war has just started; we have a long way to go before we reach the goal." Blitz says.

"How many more cities do we need to go through?" She asks.

"Many." Blitz says.

"Then how about a ploy?" She asks.

"Fight by Celestia's side. I am going straight to the crystal empire." Blitz says starting to walk.

"Try to gather as many crystal ponies you can. I don't want to see them pushed into extinction. But they have the size of an empire city."

"Just send a division to follow behind me." Blitz says.

"Already done." Twilight said waving over Celestia who have been listening.

That night, many ponies could not believe what had happened in the battle. They had won completely defeating the Sobra troops, but the method…

"This is slaughter." Celestia said as Twilight drew more maps.

"That is war." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "So I build this victory over Sombra in a pool of blood?"

"That is the nature of war itself and only blood being spilt was by the mandalorians, the original owners of these lands. Your people." Twilight says.

Celestia stares at her as she just calmly drew on the maps. "What do you know of my kind?"

"Sorry, I was sworn to secrecy and not much to be honest. Blitz knows far more and good luck getting him to talk." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns as she sat back down at her table. "You two are an anomaly. Just coming in here and killing them all."

"Blitz does have a reason. He looks for his son and Sombra is either responsible or in his way and as you seen, he will slaughter anything in his way." Twilight says.

Celestia huffs. "How can you be so calm of this…madhouse?"

"This isn't my first war either and I am also worried. Blitz is my stallion and my son is the one he searches for." Twilight says sadly.

Celestia's glare softens as she hears that. "Your son?"

"My little Arcane. I feel pain from this, but Blitz keeps it all bottled up and if Sombra provokes him, there is no telling to what will happen." Twilight says.

Celestia stares at her as Twilight seem to have gain the long yard stare before going back to her maps.

"You ok there Spinner?" Spitfire asks.

"All that blood…" Spinner tries to speak.

"Hang in there stallion." Spitfire says patting his shoulder before leaving.

"You ok Spitfire?" Rainbow asks checking her gear.

Spitfire sighs. "How does one deal with war like that?"

"I don't know, but you hear what he said this was war to him?" Rainbow says.

Spitfire nods. "Makes me wonder what his wars was like really."

"Probably the same as what we saw. So what is the princess going to do with the crystal ponies?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire looks to her. "I heard they were making a breeding program so they can have the numbers in case Blitz kills them all or worse, Sombra."

"I mean what is the plan for them. They going to help our populace supply us?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "Did you see their eyes? They wanted no more of it. Nothing. Probably just wants a secluded little village and hide there until this boils over."

"I'm personally shocked they were scared so badly it broke the mind control." Pinkamena says.

Maud nods. "For Sombra, that's tough to do. Makes me wonder how much Blitz can have a hold on them or even Sombra himself."

"I bet they are still conscious under it all and feeling something stronger like fear would break the control completely." A royal guard unicorn says.

"Maybe they are. They really wanted to take off the armor." Pinkamena said.

"Despite how you look at it, we won." A guard says happily smug.

A rock was suddenly thrown his way and hits him square on the head and knocks him down. "Congratulations, you won the battle and lost the war by succumbing to an assassination." Blitz said tossing a rock up and down as he was ahead of them, listening to them bicker.

"Why is he insist on sitting so far away?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Because we have so much we can't tell or do." Twilight said walking past and goes to Blitz.

Blitz says nothing as he looks out. "There is a fort not far on the road ahead. Fastest way to the empire." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as she sits down and leans against him. "How are you doing?" She asks quietly.

"Indifferent." Blitz says.

Twilight looks up to him. "Blitz."

"If we succeed, this will have never happened." Blitz says bluntly.

Twilight sighs and looks ahead as well. "And all our long days and hours will be all for naught and just wasted."

"You know that is not what I meant." Blitz says.

Twilight just nuzzles into his armor. "Please, I had enough of this. I just want it to stop and let us all be together again. All of us." She said as she moves a hoof to her stomach.

"I know and the fastest way to do that is to bloody my hooves again." Blitz says.

Twilight wraps a hoof around his armored one. "Please, save as many as you can."

"If the fear they feel snaps them out of it, then they will live." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and closes her eyes. "She knows her heritage line."

"I know. Terra informed me she told her daughters everything." Blitz says.

Twilight starts to rest against him. "Don't ever leave me or the others."

"I won't. Now get some rest. I move out tomorrow and you stay here with Celestia." Blitz says.

Twilight mumbles as she clumsily wraps her hooves around him. "Don't…"

"Rest." Blitz says petting her as she fell asleep.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow as she watches them. "Do you see that?"

"The way she snuggled into him?" Fleetfoot asks.

Rainbow nods. "The way they talked…it's like they were just soldiers."

"I would say more like married." Spitfire says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow to her. "How would you know?"

"I have seen a lot of romance movies." Spitfire admits blushing.

Rainbow taps her hooves. "Before or after the theaters were gone?"

"Both." Spitfire says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Right."

"Oh, you don't think so? Why don't you go and try and flirt with him then Rainbow?" Maud challenged.

Rainbow frowns to her. "We have a war right on the next hill and you what me to flirt?"

"Sounds like someone isn't confident she can do it." Pinkamena says.

Rainbow huffs. "I'll show you. I just need to get that big head away from him and he'll be like all the other stallions."

"She is asleep. Somepony go take her to one of the beds." Spitfire says.

Maud smiles and gets up and moves to them.

"Can I help you?" Blitz asks.

Maud smiles. "I can take the mare to bed. We have some tents for you."

"Very well." Blitz says.

Maud nods and takes Twilight and places her across Maud's back and walks back to camp.

Blitz sat there waiting as he looks to the two paths, one into a canyon, the other into rolling hills with crystal everywhere.

"Hey?" Rainbow said behind him.

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow frowns a bit. "Kinda wanted to talk to you."

"About?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow watches him carefully. "You."

"Huh?" Blitz asks looking at her now.

Rainbow smiles a bit. "You. I want to know more about you."

"What brought this on?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow just points to Twilight's sleeping form.

"Ah, my wife." Blitz says.

Rainbow blinks. "Wife huh?"

"Yes, the head one at least. She insisted we form a herd." Blitz says.

Rainbow frowns. "Lucky. We don't even have a chance to get together."

"You will soon enough." Blitz says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "I doubt that."

"it should take two weeks of walking to get to the capital from here." Blitz says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Please. With all those soldiers out there, it became a year."

"If you take the long way around, yes." Blitz says.

Rainbow rolls her eyes. "You won't even make it in two weeks."

"Not unless you walk in a straight line to it." Blitz says sending alarm bells off inside Rainbow's head.

Rainbow frowns. "You are going through the canyon."

"It is the fastest way." Blitz says.

"Are you kidding?! That is the most fortified path of the front with two forts. One in the canyon, the other outside the exit and they are jam-packed with more troops than what we fought on the plains." Rainbow says.

"So?" Blitz asks completely unfazed.

Rainbow scoffs as she seems to have a slight temper and walks around angrily. "You do have a death wish. Don't count me in if you get killed."

"I wouldn't expect you too. Your life is precious." Blitz says.

Rainbow blinks and looks to him confused. "What?"

"You heard me." Blitz says looking back to the paths.

Rainbow just ended up staring at him.

Blitz sat there in silence, knowing Rainbow was still watching him. 'Even if you are not my Rainbow, I still love you.'

Rainbow groans out loud and walks away. "You're a bucking idiot."

Blitz just looks up to the stars and starts to recall the faces of those he loves, from his mares to his foals.

"So how did it go?" Pinkamena asks.

"He has a death wish." Rainbow said simply and sits down before laying on the ground.

"Oh, looks like somepony got more than she bargained for." Muad says.

Rainbow scoffs. "He's going for the canyon."

They all look at her at once. "Wait what? Does he not realize that is Sombra's supply line and he fortified it well?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz's ears perks up in their direction. "I don't think he even knows better about the two forts there with it being old castles." He heard Rainbow said.

"I think he is getting up." Fleetfoot says.

They all look and sees Blitz leaving. "What the buck? I thought it wasn't until morning?" Pinkamena asks before Muad brings out the swear jar.

Blitz keeps walking until he turns into his pegasus form and takes off.

"This guy is a bucking idiot!" Rainbow yells and tosses a bit behind her.

"Did he just grow wings?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Ask bucking Celestia about that! We have more pressing matters. Like what will Sombra do when he realized that line will be attacked." Spitfire yells and tosses a bit behind her as well.

"We better stop him." Rainbow says unfurling her wings.

Fleetfoot gets on her back and stops her. "And what?! You going to follow him to that line too?"

"We were ordered to watch him. You want to give Blueblood a reason to enslave us in for himself as punishment for disobeying orders?" Rainbow asks.

Fleetfoot frowns. "And the other is getting yourself killed."

"I would rather die than let him touch me." Rainbow says bucking Fleetfoot off her and takes off.

Fleetfoot groans. "She's dead." She said unfurling her wings."

"But, we are going." Spitfire says taking off.

Spinner blinks as they all leave. He shrugs and starts running toward the canyon.

"How fast is he?" Rainbow asks trying to find him as they neared the fort. To her shame, she was not as fast as she used to be because of her prosthetic.

Spitfire frowns as she looks behind her at Rainbow. "You doing okay?"

"Can't find the guy and we are nearing the fort." Rainbow says.

"It has been two hours. Could we have over shot him?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire shakes her head. "Not really. We would have seen him."

"I think I see smoke coming from the fort." Spitfire says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow at the sight. "That isn't fire smoke."

"Investigate?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow flies down and tries to get in close and covers her mouth from the smoke before seeing many bodies on the ground and not moving and flies back up. "They're on the ground."

"Looks like he was already here." Spitfire says. "Alright, air filtration on you two." Spitfire instructs, getting her helmet out and putting it on.

Rainbow frowns as she puts on hers. "I hate these things."

"Let's go." Fleetfoot says before flying in and they examine the ones on the ground, but find them breathing.

"They're alive." Spitfire said getting the helmet off of one.

"Not what I was expecting." Rainbow says removing another one.

Fleetfoot huffs as she tosses away a bunch of helmets. "Outside the walls too."

"I saw no…there he is." Spitfire says spotting Blitz sitting on one of the walls.

"They will be fine. Just get the armors." He said not even moving.

"Somepony go inform Spinner and others coming. We have the fort and open the gate for them." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot flies off and goes to find the team.

Spitfire, seeing this, goes to see Blitz. "What do you need?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire frowns. "Explanations."

"This is how you covertly take a supply line. When do you think the next shipment will arrive?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire growls silently. "In a few days' time."

"Then ambush it and take the supplies." Blitz says bluntly.

Spitfire frowns. "Easier said than done."

"Just don't show off. This fort was captured like some sort of Jackass and it will work." Blitz says freezing Spitfire as that was one of her favorite phrases when training wonderbolts.

"Well…okay then." Spitfire says weirded out a bit.

"The smoke will clear. In less than an hour, the effects will go away past dawn." Blitz says.

"Something isn't right. They should have gotten resupplied by now." Celestia says looking at the hill forts that controlled this area.

Twilight hums as she stands by her and keeps writing on the maps. "Must have been stopped."

"But how? The forts of the supply line are well fortified and very well manned." Celestia says before a messenger runs up.

"Princess, the line inside the canyon has been captured." He said panting.

"By who?" Celestia asks.

The messenger pants deeply. "Blitzkrieg."

"Told you." Twilight said without stopping her writing.

"Send a few divisions to man that fort." Celestia orders.

"Also, they are sending the captured ponies and supplies to us." The messenger says before all of them nod and run off.

"Supplies? Why would they send supplies?" Celestia asks.

"They probably captured a shipment with an ambush knowing Blitzy." Twilight says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow to her. "Blitzy?"

"My name for him." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "This is reckless now."

"He could have burnt it to the ground." Twilight points out.

Celestia groans silently. "Point."

Twilight sighs and takes out a picture of her and little Arcane and looks at it for a while.

Celestia leans in a bit. "Your son?" She asks seeing the mare before her holding a little colt.

"Now I know how Blitzy feels like." Twilight said in her own world.

"You will get him back. I am sure of it." Celestia says putting a hoof on her shoulder.

Twilight twitched a smile. 'She's getting back to her roots.' "Yeah, before or after Blitz burns the world to ash, looking for him?" Twilight asks.

Celestia sighs. "He would certainly find this son of yours first before doing anything else."

"Yeah and you see what bloody path he will carve to find him." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns as she looks over the horizon where the path is, trying to ascertain how much he could do.

"I can see reinforcements marching our way." Spinner says to Spitfire.

Spitfire frowns as she steels herself. "Prepare for a fight then."

"There ours." Spinner says making out the flag.

Spitfire sighs in relief. "Good. Go meet up with them and tell them everything."

Blitz gets up and jumps off the wall.

Rainbow frowns. "Where's he going?"

"Oh, why you becoming attached?" Pinkamena asks.

Rainbow huffs and looks away. "I'm not. Just of Sombra I'll do once he finds out."

"Looks like he is heading for the next fort." Fleetfoot says.

"We are never going to get a break are we?" A guard asks.

"Nope! Now move out!" Spitfire calls.

"I'll greet and get them up to date before catching up." Spinner says.

"Got it." Spitfire says as the gates start to open.

"Take the fort!" They hear from outside and a bunch of cheering.

Blitz walked with the rest of the division at a leisurely rate, only stopping outside the fort which was reinforced.

"Crosscut fences huh." He asks himself as looks at the other end of the fort.

"Great. Looks like Sombra has really reinforced this place. We can't even fly in with the crystal dome over the top." Rainbow says.

"The gate is also magical resistant and reinforced so magic won't work." Blitz says.

"So what are you going to do?" Spitfire asks.

"I will knock." Blitz says bringing up his left hoof and fires a rocket from it. When the rocket hits the gate, it was blown apart and thrown into the fort.

"What the…?" Spitfire stops at the sight.

Blitz says nothing and starts walking forward into the fort's new opening.

Spitfire shook herself out of the stupor and yelled. "Attack!"

The whole army yelled as they charge the fort and then metal clanging was heard as Blitz continues in his leisurely pace, either cutting down or smacking the defenders away before making it to the commander, his claws drawn.

It took less than an hour of fighting for the fort to fall after the shock of them losing their main gate.

"We did it!" A guard yells cutting the flag down.

"I can't believe it we took the entire Sombra supply route." Rainbow says.

Spitfire cheers as she jumps in the air. "Now this war is ten times easier.

Blitz just looks at the commander whose helmet he took off to find a crystal mare who was panting hard at the exhaustion. "The city is surrounded by a crystal wall." She said as he held her up from collapsing.

"And Sombra? Where exactly is he?" Blitz asks.

The mare looks up to him with tired eyes. "The main castle. Where many twists and turns have been made to stop anypony from getting in. If you want to get in, you have to follow his hoofsteps. I'm sorry I can't give more."

"Go join the rest and head along the supply line. Your part in this war is over." Blitz says.

The mare tiredly nods and leans into him. "Thank you."

"Spinner." Blitz calls.

Spinner perks his head up from the small cheering crowd and rushes over to him and salutes.

"Help her and the others get out of here." Blitz says.

Spinner nods and helps lead the mare and the others out with a group of soldiers following them.

"The crystal empire is all that is left." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops cheering and turns to him with a frown. "You'll never make it in."

"Making it here was also impossible." Blitz says stretching his wings a bit.

Rainbow goes a bit wide eyed. "You aren't doing what I think you're doing."

"I plan on removing the head of this snake." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "You'll never make it to the castle before you are shot down."

"I'm not going to fly in." Blitz says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "Then what, dig?"

"We besiege the city." Blitz says.

Rainbow looks shocked. "What?!"

"This will force Sombra to pull back his forces as his capital and he is now vulnerable. Doing so though opens up too many openings and will allow the main force to meet us here and then we besiege the city." Blitz says.

Rainbow held a glare on her face. "You intend to go on a suicide mission to wipe the city? You are crazy."

"No, simply the siege is a distraction while I slip in and kill Sombra." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "So we are just useless ponies to you."

"Look me in the eye and tell me you can kill another pony and watch them plead to you with their eyes not to let them die." Blitz says.

Rainbow kept glaring at him as best she could…but it quickly faltered and she quickly looks away with a grunt.

"Don't become like me." Blitz says before walking away, surprising Rainbow.

"Did you just…try and stare him down?" Spitfire asks.

"And lost badly." Rainbow says.

Spitfire frowns slightly. "You might be more crazy than him then."

"You hear what he said at the end?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, don't become like him. He wants us to fight better, but not him…?"

"I can't make heads or tails of him." Rainbow says.

Spitfire sighs. "Maybe it's for the better."

"I'm wondering what he looks like now. He hasn't taken his helmet off since we met." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire shrugs. "Maybe he's scarred."

"Oh, is that all miss romantic?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire rolls her eyes. "What else supposed to be there?"

"I've heard you in your sleep fantasizing about the mysterious wounded soul." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire shrugs. "It's a good one."

"Oh?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire smiles. "Yeah, the wounded soul always gets the mare easy."

"Like you both and our mysterious stallion there?" Fleetfoot adds.

Spitfire sputters her lips and gives a small wave. "Please, he's got a mare already who I bet got banged three ways to Sunday."

"He did say he has a herd that she got him to form." Rainbow says.

"Really now?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow nods. "Makes me wonder who he got. Wonder if it's also going through the other classes of ponies. I mean…he's a unicorn and she's a unicorn so…"

"Alicorn and right now, he is a pegasus with a nice wingspan." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire leans over. "You thinking of another length right now?" She teased with a grin.

"You know the old saying." Fleetfoot says making both the other mares blush.

"Well…we still have a city left over." Rainbow said trying to change the subject and brings the blush down.

"Oh what is this? The no stallion mare blushing?" Maud asks.

Rainbow frowns and grumbles to herself.

"Oh where?" Pinkamena asks.

Rainbow mumbles louder.

The sisters turn and look at each other before chuckling a bit at Rainbow.

Rainbow groans.

"Go on Rainbow. Go talk to him." Fleetfoot says.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and walks off. "Fine."

"Oh, how will this end?" Pinkamena asks.

Spitfire smiles. "Want me to make a story?"

"Let's watch this train wreck unfold ourselves…by the way, what was that about an old saying?" Maud asks.

"Um…well…I…oh, we should find a good spot to watch." Fleetfoot says before running away and Spitfire follows.

"Well we now control the hill forts." Celestia says as her banner raises over the last one.

Twilight hums as she goes over the maps. "Maybe. Though there are little ones."

"Yes, but with the supplies cut, they will start to starve and be weak…" Celestia was cut off by a messenger pony running up out of breath.

"Breath." Twilight orders.

The messenger took a few moments to get his breathing in order before giving his message. "Fort Titan has fallen to us. The way to the capital lies exposed."

Twilight smiles. "Told ya, again."

"Titan has fallen." Celestia says having to take a seat.

Twilight nods as she gives her a bunch of maps. "Here, possible attack plans on the city."

"The city!?" Celestia yells in disbelief.

Twilight nods and goes to the nearby bed. "Yes. He intends to end this."

"But, that would mean drawing troops away from other fronts." Celestia says.

"Sombra is already doing it. His capital is exposed along with him. He is worried now." Twilight says.

Celestia blink. "I never believe such a black hearted demon would feel fear."

"Having his forces decimated and a march from one division that his best fortifications couldn't stop. It makes himself conscious and unsure if his power base is so secure." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "We have to stop him soon."

"Don't worry, this siege will be the end." Twilight says fluffing a pillow.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "How can you be so sure?"

"Because he's in Blitz's sights now and that is the last place you want to be. In between Blitz and his foal. There are easier ways at suicide like jumping off a cliff." Twilight says.

Celestia tilts her head. "And you have seen him like this?"

"A few times it never ended well for somepony in the way…let's hope that the Crystal Empire's castle will still be standing when it is over." Twilight says.

Celestia gulps silently as she tries to keep a straight face.

"Ug…my pounding head." Rainbow says rubbing her head as she awoke.

"Are you okay?" A voice asks beside her.

"Yeah, I am…" Rainbow stops to look at the stallion beside her in the bed, his eyes still closed.

Blitz sighs as he kept trying to rest up. "If you want, you can get back to bed."

"Um…" Rainbow stops spotting Blitz's helmet on the counter of the room.

"Let me at least get a few more hours of rest." Blitz says.

Rainbow gulps as she looks him over before hearing a knock at the door and goes to see who it is.

"Hey, you ready to join the rest of the unit for morning drills?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blinks for a moment. "Um…sure."

"Good." Spitfire says pulling her out. "So where did you go last night?" Spitfire asks as they walk noticing Rainbow was out of uniform, but figured she took it off to sleep.

Rainbow sighs. "Where were we?"

"In drills or last night?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow rubs her head. "What the heck happened?"

"You went off to talk to Blitzkrieg. You talked for a while then you both took the conversation to more private location and from there, I don't know." Spitfire says.

Rainbow gulps. "Do you know what happened or anypony else?"

"No, there was no sound or anything. Heck, Pinkamena added ten bits to the swear jar after losing that bet." Spitfire says.

Rainbow blankly stares at her.

"Ok, ok, so it was more like twenty." Spitfire admits.

Rainbow huffs. "Come on. Let's get training." She said walking away.

"So what did he look like?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow scratches her head. "I don't remember. It was too dark."

"Dark?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow nods. "I don't remember and just woke up. His face was in the dark too."

"What do you remember?" Spitfire asks smirking.

"Let's see…um…I remember something going inside…" Rainbow immediately stops.

Spitfire leans in. "What?"

"Nothing." Rainbow says quickly.

"He plowed you didn't he?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blushes beet red and glares at her. "I would know."

"And the red says you do." Spitfire says.

Rainbow huffs.

"So how was it?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blinks and looks at her confused. "I don't know."

"Oh, I see it was so good to you that it was too much to handle." Spitfire says.

Rainbow blushes hard again. "No!"

"Guess we can call you the no stallion mare anymore." Spitfire jokes.

Rainbow raises a hoof to hit her with.

"Superior officer." Spitfire says making her lower it.

"Damn you." Rainbow said.

"Remains between us." Spitfire says.

Rainbow scoffs. "It better."

"As long as you can get him to do me as well. I need to blow off some steam like you did." Spitfire says and Rainbow could not tell if she was serious or joking.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh."

"What…ok, tell me how do you feel today?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow hums. "Not bad really."

"Compared to the last month." Spitfire says.

Rainbow shrugs. "Really better than that time."

"And what is different from then and now?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow shrugs. "I don't know."

"Nudge, nudge, wink, wink." Spitfire says.

Rainbow pushes her. "Shut up."

"You know I am right." Spitfire playfully pushes her back.

Rainbow groans out loud.

"Now come on. Let's see if you fly any better today." Spitfire says.

Rainbow huffs as she takes off. "About time."

'She is so happy to have gotten laid.' Spitfire thinks.

"You ok in there?" Spitfire calls knocking on the door after the sun was starting to set. "If you don't answer I am coming in." Spitfire calls and still no answer.

Spitfire says and opens the door and walks in and sees the lights were still extinguished. "Alright, let's get some light in here." Spitfire says before striking a match and starts lighting some candles in the room. Looking around she found Blitz's helmet on the counter and a form in the bed.

"Five more minutes alright?" Blitz asks tiredly.

Spitfire frowns. "Hey, we have to get ready."

"What for? Even if they march here double time the whole way with no rest, it will take nearly a week for them all to arrive." Blitz says waving a hoof at her.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "And how do you figure that?"

"Twilight will need to draw troops from other sectors of the war like Sombra will do now that the road to his capital is open to us." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks unconvinced. "Uh huh."

"Look, just let me sleep." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "Look, it's best we move out and check things out."

"Has the gate been replaced?" Blitz asks as Spitfire walks closer.

Spitfire hums. "Not yet, but it's being worked on."

"Then send small scouts to watch and most repair that gate." Blitz says before Spitfire removes the covers.

Spitfire gasps as she backs off a bit.

"What is it now?" Blitz asks covering his head with his wings.

Spitfire gulps as she takes in the sight. "How about…food?"

"Not now Spits. Doesn't Sunrise need his mother?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blinks. "Sunrise?"

"Spits, are you telling me you forgot the name of your son, whom you gave birth to? In which the said birth you needed a c section for both to live?" Blitz asks more asleep than awake.

Spitfire looks shocked at him. "Who lived?" She asked carefully.

"Yes, now please stop the bad joke. We have been married for what? Three? Four years now?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire frowns a little as she hears this. "Hey! Wake up!"

"Spitfire please, let me rest, I…oh my god, I just talked." Blitz says his eyes shooting open wide.

Spitfire huffs. "Yeah, now get up."

Blitz laughs nervously as he gets up. "You no doubt have questions." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. "Oh yeah."

Blitz sighs. "I am from a parallel timeline." Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow.

"Ok…how to explain this…ah, when you dam up a river, what happens if it doesn't stop?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire leans forward a bit skeptical. "Finds another way."

"Exactly the same applies with time. Let me put it like this, what would happen if some pony went back in time and stopped a major event from happening?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire slowly waves a hoof around. "Different events."

"Exactly. In my time, Sombra, although he came back, it was briefly before he was destroyed and he never got to enslave the crystal ponies again. In fact, the crystal empire became a protectorate of Equestria and a quite rich one at that." Blitz says.

Spitfire keeps an eyebrow raised. "And why should I believe you?"

"Because I am not lying and…" Blitz stops before bringing up a 3D projection of Spitfire and Sunrise. "That is Sunrise, our son in my timeline."

Spitfire stares at the projection. "Ours?"

"Yeah, you, Fleetfoot, and Rainbow are all in my herd. And if you can believe it, while you were pregnant, Soarin pissed you off so bad you got Twilight to turn him into a mare…though his sexuality didn't change." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks, not sure what to say or do.

"Ok, you want absolute proof about it, ask me anything that you have never told anypony, even your own mother." Blitz says.

Spitfire hums. "My fetish."

"You love it when I tie you down to a table and just start spanking you before riding you roughly and twisting your nipples." Blitz says.

Spitfire blushes heavily as she gulps. "That could be any mare."

"You also wanted to be a fashion model when you were a little filly and then wanted to be a hoofball player in elementary school, then a hockey player in middle school. You didn't even consider becoming a wonderbolt until after you passed your tryout on the first time when Soarin begged you to come with him to the try outs to help give him confidence." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks slowly at that. "How…?"

"You also had a secret identity for when you went out with Vinyl on the nightclub scene in high school. You used a dye to dye your mane purple and your coat silver and called yourself Burner." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks as she kept watching him.

"Need any more proof?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire was stuck staring at him in shock.

Blitz sighs and waits for her to process everything and starts reviewing data Twilight sent him and letting her know he was up and awake. 'By the way, Spitfire got me to talk while half asleep so I will wait for you to yell at me when you arrive.' Blitz sends.

'Idiot.' She sends back.

'Love you.' Blitz sends with a picture of Aether.

'You got off this time.' She sends back.

'I was going to send the power of love, but then I thought, what about Cadance and Shining?' Blitz sends.

'I don't know. My whole family could have been sent somewhere else entirely.' She sends.

'…you asking Celestia?' Blitz sends.

'…maybe.' Twilight sends.

'Oh sorry, Spits is snapping out of it.' Blitz sends.

'Take pictures.' She asks.

Blitz snaps a picture and sends it to her.

'Not bad.'

'Though I prefer her mane to be longer in the back.' Blitz says ending a picture of Rainbow, Fleetfoot, and Pinkamena as well.

'Let's hurry this up. I want to go home already.' Twilight sends.

'You and me both…picture the looks on the other's faces when we show them these pictures.' Blitz sends before Spitfire taps his shoulder. "Ah, you take it all in?"

Spitfire slowly nods. "Yeah…sort of…"

"You miss having a longer mane by the way?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blinks and runs a hoof through her mane. "Yeah…always."

"So, you believe me or you want me to go into your embarrassing teen stories you told me or the Vinyl told me?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire gulps. "No, it's fine." She said waving her hooves no.

"So please don't tell anyone…also, I can already tell you want to know about Soarin, right?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire slowly nods.

"She is in the herd and was pregnant." Blitz says.

Spitfire was surprised at that.

"So no telling anyone else got it?" Blitz asks getting really close.

Spitfire fearfully nods and tries to figure out how he got this close.

"Finally, we are here." Twilight says sighing.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Um…bad move Sombra. You literally have one way in and out."

"Yes, but good for us." Twilight says smiling before looking at Spitfire.

"Eep." Spitfire says.

"So have you given them plans for a siege weapon or and I going to have to try and pull down debris from space?" Blitz asks.

Twilight chuckles. "What do you take me for, an idiot?"

"No, but you can be forgetful and scatterbrained at times." Blitz reminds.

Twilight stops and stares at him. "Really?"

"Ah hem." Blitz says pulling out a list and takes a breath to start reading.

"Read that and the couch for a year." Twilight threatens and Blitz quickly shreds it.

"What list? I see no list." Blitz says quickly.

Twilight smiles. "Good boy."

"So what siege engines we using, catapults or cannons?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. "Slingshots."

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Slingshots?"

Twilight holds up a hoof. "Good thing there are some bat ponies who know how to do their jobs correctly."

Blitz blinks at that. "Secure the keys!" They heard and look over to the sound and sees the mine entrance.

Twilight smirks. "An old poem." She said waving behind her and they start setting up poles and large rubber bands.

"Slingshots." Blitz reemphasizing that.

Twilight nods. "Because, it's all the mining crew can get. Hit them from both sides and is more accurate. Heck, you can see where it might go."

"Ascend from darkness!" They heard.

"Well I best get ready to be fired." Blitz says.

Twilight laughs. "Sort of, yeah. Because the next one is…" She calls and points behind her. "Rain fire!" The crowd yells before she turns back to him. "There is one of a hoof of iron. But…launching time." She said pushing him away as firebombs came from the mining entrance.

Blitz smiles as he settles into the slingshot, before cloaking himself. Twilight smiles as she helps aim and steps away. "Wait for it…"

"Unleash the horde!"

"Now!" Twilight yells.

Blitz was fired along with several other rocks at the constructed crystal walls around the city and thus began the siege. Blitz used his pegasus wings to glide through the air as the ponies under Sombra's control rushed to the wall, allowing him to fly by unnoticed to all. Blitz then started to ascend to the top of the castle where Sombra was watching the siege.

"Skewer the winged beast!" Sombra heard and saw some rope hooks fly through the air before grabbing onto his statue and pulls it down.

Sombra growls and roars as he charges his magic. "Wield a hoof of iron!" The mining crowd yelled as some of them picked up the weapons and use it against them with the mining tools.

Blitz smiles to himself as he realized the last two steps and comes up behind Sombra slowly. "Raise hell!" The crowd and army yells as they rush the city as Blitz quickly taps Sombra's shoulder and slices his horn off with his claws before removing the rest of his head and then tossing the body off. "I am the reaper of justice and revenge Sombra." Blitz says appearing before him before he died from the decapitation.

"Freedom!" The crowd and army yells as the crystal ponies start to take off the armor and helmets.

Blitz stood there as the wind blew his cloak, making my look kind of like a new evil overlord.

Twilight smiles as she walks off toward the mine. "I know the crystals is here somewhere." She said as Celestia looked shocked.

"You ready Twi?" Blitz asks as Twilight had teleported them both back to the map after they got several crystals.

Twilight sighs as she starts looking them over. "Hard to believe this whole thing is over."

"Not yet, first we got to stop Starlight." Blitz says as Twilight casts the spell.

"That bitch!" Blitz cries as they were now in a huge jungle.

Twilight angrily pounds her hoof in the ground. "I should have known better."

"Oh, I am so going to hurt that cunt when I get my hooves on her." Blitz growls.

Twilight looks at him slightly surprised. "Wow, that's a new word for you."

"I try to restrain my words around foals." Blitz clarifies.

Twilight sighs and looks around. "Any case…where…" She stops as she looks one way. "Um…Blitz?"

"I see them." Blitz says sighing. "Get that thing out of my face Pinkamena Pie before you poke your eye out." Blitz says.

Pinkamena points a hoof at him. "Change changing pants."

"Oh, it's Pinkie Pie. Can Pinkamena come out to play? I have a knife for her." Blitz says holding a switchblade out like it was a dog treat.

Pinkie's mane immediately goes flat. "Give me." She said pointing the spear at him.

"You want it, go get it." Blitz says tossing it like it was a ball.

Pinkamena frowns. "You think I'm going to ah forget it." She said before quickly running off after the knife.

Blitz chuckles to himself seeing this.

Twilight scratches her head. "Huh." She said before looking to the other ponies who had spears pointed at them. "Well this is strange."

'Strange enough that I am feeling a familiar presence somehow.' Chrysalis suddenly piped up in her head.

"Look, put those away. You will more likely hurt yourselves than me." Blitz says smacking a spear away.

The spear immediately went let back to where it was and closer.

"I'm starting to think you want me to hurt you." Blitz says.

"We should just kill them." One said.

"Twi, may I lay the smack down?" Blitz asks before Zecora's voice was heard.

"Stop, if they are changeling's, we will soon see." Zecora says jumping down from a tree.

"Hum, Zebra shaman clothing, a variation from the customary type. Most likely used what she had." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes as Zecora takes out a bottle of some thick gunk. 'Um…Twilight?' Chrysalis pipes up again.

"Nuh uh, how do we know we can trust you?" Blitz says holding her hoof with the force to Zecora's surprise.

Zecora frowns as she looks to her hoof and tries to move it. "Do you, like me?"

"Ah, zebra custom trick question as part of the mate finding process. Now stop with your games please. I have no patience for it like how your father had no patience for your brother's tom foolery when he was teaching him how to fight with the spear." Blitz says.

Zecora stares at him as Twilight leans over. "Since when did you read up on zebras and…are you actually going for a zebra in the herd now?" Twilight whispered.

"A, in preparation for the safari and B, don't you think the herd is a little full already?" Blitz whispers.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "You don't seem to mind with Ahsoka."

"We can talk about this later." Blitz says as Zecora starts getting over her shell shock.

Zecora quickly shakes her head. "Only way to make us stop with our life…is to speak of our own turf."

"Ok, I tell you what come with me and I will tell you something you won't believe and if it's true, you will believe anything I say and not tell them what I tell you?" Blitz asks.

Zecora raises an eyebrow and leans forward.

"Over there in sight of everypony, but far enough to where they won't eavesdrop." Blitz says glaring at a few under his helmet.

"Don't do it Zecora. It's a trap." Another said raising his spear more.

"Please, if I meant harm, you would already be dead." Blitz says with full seriousness that made Pinkamena have a flash of deja vu.

Zecora slowly follows him a bit away as they kept their spears pointed at Twilight as she inspects them. "You have the tie done wrong. This one is chipped and will fall apart on the next blow and this one's spear is bending too much." She said pointing to each.

"Ok. Twilight, my wife, is in fact a changeling pony hybrid and a queen at that. You and I both know Chrysalis wouldn't have need of such a thing, much less have a rival like that." Blitz whispers to her.

Zecora frowns. "Tell me something pony and I would understand more. What's the one thing I thought about most of the time when you are around?"

"That, I am unsure. I have a hard time reading you most of the time. Now, will you fulfill your end if what I say is true?" Blitz asks.

Zecora raises an eyebrow and holds up the open bottle and Blitz quickly looks to see Twilight having some on her wing. "I will." She said putting it away.

Blitz nods and sits as she starts to put more on Twilight and she glows a green and white at the same time in parts.

Seeing this, all of them back off. "What does it mean?" Pinkie asks.

Zecora smiles. "It means they are friends." She said before waving at them to follow and they step behind her.

"Twilight, you may begin explaining." Blitz says following.

Twilight sighs. "I should have a recording of this." She said before stating to explain their situation.

They soon reach the camp and Blitz stops. Twilight looks back at him. "What?"

Blitz removes his helmet and takes a deep whiff. "I smell a changeling." Blitz says.

Twilight holds up a hoof, but puts it down. "I'm not even going to question that."

"You shouldn't, considering what you are." Blitz says walking past, Zecora following closely.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "So…what do you smell tracker?"

"That one." Blitz points to a filly and dawns his helmet once more.

Twilight sighs and walks up to the filly as she turns to Twilight and smiles before shrinking away at her sight. Twilight raises an eyebrow and puts a hoof on the filly's head before her eyes glow green. 'Ten years.' Chrysalis said going through the memories.

After taking her hoof off the changeling, Blitz walks up, looking menacing. "Now show your true form or I will remove your exoskeleton by dissection." Blitz threatens, using the force to amplify his menacing presence.

The filly gulps as it changes back.

Every one of the villagers were shocked they had a changeling in their camp. "This one means they know your exact location. You cut his connection to the queen to give her a surprise, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she looks to the changeling again as it bows to them both in fear. "You are still king."

"Yes, now let's get ready to welcome the rest, shall we?" Blitz asks before turning to the changeling. "You, hide in one of the huts." Blitz orders.

The changeling nods and quickly scurries off.

"Zecora, should we do something about the changeling in the village?" Pinkie asks.

Zecora shakes her head and shocks them as she kept watching. Soon they heard a shrill shriek.

"Help us!" They heard as some rapid hoofsteps were coming their way and soon Rainbow and Rarity came out of the jungle looking ragged.

Twilight frowns as the newcomers pleaded with the village. "You smell it too huh?" She asks as Chrysalis really woke up in her head.

"You have to help us, the changelings attacked Ponyville. We barely made it out with our lives." Rainbow says as Applejack caught up, looking the same shape.

Blitz, seeing this, walks up to Rainbow.

Rainbow blinks as she leans away a bit. "Um…help…not uncomfortably close."

Blitz then slugs Rainbow to the ground. "PATHETIC! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE CHANGELING DISGUISE AND IMPERSONATING WAY!" Blitz roars in anger.

'Rainbow' groans as she gets up and has a bloody nose. "Wha…why…?"

"You know why? Don't you queen." Blitz says leveling a glare on Applejack before kicking Rainbow away.

'Applejack' seems to smirk as she walks up calmly. "Well…at least this one isn't an idiot." She said before receiving a punch to the face and sends her flying to hit a tree.

"You best recognize and respect a king of your own kind next time." Blitz says.

'Applejack' slowly gets up and looks at him in shock. "Ki…King?"

"Yes, do you challenge my authority?" Blitz asks.

'Rarity' hisses and launches herself at him, only to get some blades through her as Twilight appeared behind him. "Um…I could have turned them."

"This way is easier. As you know, challenging a recognized changeling king is not done lightly. Does any of the rest of your hive wish to challenge me now? Because I am ready to kill." Blitz says turning to 'Applejack'.

'Applejack' groans as she gets up. "There can't be a king. No way, no how."

"Oh, is that a challenge?" Blitz asks walking forward unsheathing his claws.

'Applejack' actually starts to shiver in fear as Blitz neared closer. "No, absolutely not. I am not challenging the authority of a changeling king."

"That is what I thought you said." Blitz says sheathing his claws.

Twilight walks up as Blitz heads back. "Submit control." She said looking at 'Applejack'.

"Never, I might not challenge a king, but I will not be relinquishing my hive." 'Applejack' says getting up.

"You get up now." Blitz says to the disguised Rainbow.

Twilight frowned before sighing. "I wish it wouldn't have to come to this." She said before closing her eyes. 'You all better stop!' Chrysalis yells from Twilight.

"Now first, stop humiliating the changelings and drop the disguise." Blitz says as most of the changelings in the area start walking up defeated.

'Rainbow' looks up to him fearfully before changing back.

"Now first, what has happened to the pony you disguised yourself as?" Blitz asks, a claw drawn once more.

The changeling chitters fearfully as the blade runs along its neck. "H…hive."

"I see, now tell me what is planned for her and the other two you came disguised as in?" Blitz asks neutrally.

The changeling chitters fearfully as Blitz brings up one of the claw blades up and starts sharpening it on a nearby rock. "Bre…Bre…" He tries to say.

"Breeding?" Blitz asks.

The changeling quickly nods.

"Has the process started yet?" Blitz asks.

The changeling quick shakes his head.

"Good, you're answering my questions truthfully." Blitz says before slicing the rock into pieces.

The changeling jumps at that.

"Now, next question, do you know what happens when a mate or one marked as his future mate is stolen from a king of the changelings?" Blitz asks.

The changeling gulps and shakes his head.

"Oh and it is even worse than challenging their authority. Now tell me, do you know how one becomes a king of the changelings?" Blitz asks.

The changeling shakes his head.

"Well first, one must be a great warrior." Blitz starts. "Then they must establish dominance and that usually means killing all that would oppose him, even a queen and must rule over the changelings with absolute authority, awe, and or fear so their rule will never be challenged again." Blitz finishes as he checks his flamethrower as it discharges some fire.

The changeling shivered in fear as Blitz got close to him again. "Now you understand where I am going with this?" Blitz asks nicely.

The changeling quickly nods, scared out of his mind.

"I expect to see them soon. Or I will start with you." Blitz whispers the last part to the changeling as his fear is felt by the rest of the hive. None of them aware of what the last two statements were, but they knew his words spread terror amongst this member of the hive the likes of which none of them had ever felt personally.

The changeling quickly runs off as Twilight was still standing in front of 'Applejack'. 'Oh just change already. This whole operation is blown.' Chrysalis sent and 'Applejack' slowly changes into Chrysalis. Twilight opens her eyes and stares long and hard at her. "We gave you chances, but this whole time, me and Chrysalis has been breaking all of the changelings' connection to the hive and making them ours. You are losing with every link gone. And the whole time we have been talking, we have broken twenty more. Twenty-one." She corrects herself.

The Chrysalis outside glares at her. "I'm Chrysalis! I'm the queen!"

Twilight raises an eyebrow. 'Oh shut up you hatchling. Always buzzing around like a little one trying to fly and smashing into everything on the egg room walls.' Chrysalis outside hears from Twilight, even though she didn't move her mouth.

"How…?" Chrysalis tries to ask, hearing her voice being called through the area.

Twilight sighs. "My version was dying so she passed her last remaining hive onto me, full of almost everything every queen has."

'Even the sex!' Chrysalis said happily.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Yes, that too. Minus the changing part, I built the hive up again, this time consensually. It worked and now they are full-fledged citizens. I was able to unite the changeling race and make them all accepted now. They respect me there and all the respect, brings the power. I am an alicorn and I can kill easily. Every changeling that even tickles my mind would fall into fear once they see it. I am Twilight Sparkle, princess of Equestria, diplomat of my planet, queen of the changelings, wife of Blitzkrieg, the king of changelings, and have Chrysalis inside my mind to help run the show and she isn't happy right now. So if you want to go against me, you have to deal with him and my new recruits for the hive." She said as the changelings around them seem to have fear in their eyes as the village was in shock that these two new ponies just took down a whole army just by being there and a few words. "Now then, submit control." She said glaring slightly.

Chrysalis glares back, but a mind attack from Twilight's Chrysalis sent her reeling back. "O…okay." Chrysalis said finally.

Twilight sighs as she felt the many minds brushing up against hers. "Finally. Time to stand down." She said before walking to Blitz. "How are we doing?"

"How long will we be staying this time?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves it off. "Until most of the ponies captured comes back. At least this one is faster and better."

"Then I am going to whip these changelings into shape in the meanwhile." Blitz says making a few eep.

Twilight smiles a bit. "Please do. These guys are leaner and have less muscle than ours."

Blitz smirks as he advances on the changelings.

"So have a good nap?" Blitz asks as Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow were released from the pods they were stored in.

Rainbow groans as she rubs her head. "What the heck…? Did I get drugged or something?"

"No, you were captured by changelings and being stored until they were ready to use you in breeding." Blitz says relaxing in a chair as his armor was sitting not far away.

Rarity stops and blushes. "Bre…breeding?"

"They impregnate you and you give birth to the changeling eggs." Blitz says.

Applejack gulps. "That's…that's…"

"Not happening anymore right?" Blitz asks looking to the two cowering guard changelings guarding the door. The changelings nod quickly. "In my opinion, it's better than food. Which…come to think of it, are all ponies you capture stored in the same pods as your food until they are ready be used for something different?" Blitz asks.

The changeling gulps. "Yes." They both said.

"Hum and if memory serves, staying long enough in those pods turns you into a hybrid to full changeling if I recall correctly." Blitz says.

The changelings nod quickly again.

The mares seeing this go wide eyed. "WHAT!?"

"Hum…let me see." Blitz says getting up and walks over to them and starts inspecting them.

Applejack raises an eyebrow as he moves her head around. "Um…Blitzy?"

"Ah, so you remember me Jacky." Blitz says moving onto inspecting Rarity.

Rarity blushes as Blitz checks her closely. "Um…so…"

"Uh huh." Blitz says before moving onto Rainbow.

Rainbow frowns a bit. "Well? Tell me so I can rip it off."

"Well how many moon cycles were they in their pods?" Blitz asks.

"A month." Came the meek reply.

"I see. Then I am right, you three have already been turn into partial changelings." Blitz says.

Rainbow glares at him. "Tell me what part so I can take it out."

"It's more internal." Blitz says. 'And you've started forming the mental links with the hive, but only the most powerful can talk to you.' Blitz thinks.

Rainbow groans. "Which part?!"

"Vital organs are what changes first and you should feel your sex drive kicking up a few notches like most changeling females coming of age." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops and blushes hard.

"Let me guess, it's starting to hit, right?" Blitz asks.

Both Rarity and Applejack slowly nods as Rainbow remained blushing.

"Well it could be far worse. If you were fully turned, by the time you would snap out of it, you would be broodmothers." Blitz says motioning for the guards to leave.

Applejack gulps and raises a hoof. "Um…"

"Yes Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack suddenly hugs him. "It's great to see you again."

"Thanks, though I bet not how you pictured it right?" Blitz asks petting her before putting her hat back onto her.

Applejack smiles. "Yeah, but what's with the chair?" She asks still hugging him tightly as she grinds against him slightly.

"I wanted to be comfortable. Say what you will, but changelings can build comfortable furniture." Blitz says petting her.

Applejack sighs as she relaxes against him. "That feels good."

"So…um…what are you waiting for?" Rainbow asks.

"Oh, for the effects of your sex drive to fully kick in." Blitz says.

They all blush hard as Applejack gulps. "Um…Blitzy…"

"It's either me or the soldier changelings and to save you from becoming broodmothers, had to claim you as my own." Blitz says.

They all blush harder and gulp. "Um…so…" Applejack tries to say as the heat inside her rises.

"You three still virgins?" Blitz asks.

They all nod nervously.

'Then I'll be gentle with you.' Blitz thinks really fanning the flames of their heat.

They really become shocked at that. "How…?" Applejack asks.

"You are part changelings now and I am the king of changeling's and just conquered Chrysalis's hive." Blitz says before kissing Applejack's cheek.

Applejack eeps and freezes.

Seeing this, the other two mares started advancing on Blitz.

Applejack gulps and starts grinding against him again. "Blitz…?"

"You can't take it any longer?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods quickly as she leans against him.

"Then let's begin." Blitz says.

"So they enjoy it?" Twilight asks.

"Yes, they did and are resting." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Too bad you can't stay."

"Now that I have bred with them, without us, they are the highest ranking members. I left a letter explaining everything." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to the large hive cave as most of the villagers start moving in. "You ever thought this would happen?"

"It was a possibility. Now take three with trying to get back to normal." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "You ready to go back again?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

"Sonva…" Blitz cursed loudly.

Twilight slams her head on the table as they lost again.

"This time it was our own fault making a show out of it as we battled." Blitz says using his claws to cut a tree down.

Twilight groans. "Want some angry sex after this is over?"

"Ironically, Rainbow in the first one did that with me already." Blitz says using his flamethrower on some timberwolves. "Interesting in that one, she's a screamer."

Twilight groans out loud and shoots a magic beam at another timberwolf. "We don't have time for you!"

"How many crystals do we have before we have to get resupplied?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to her bag. "About ten more."

Blitz sighs before noticing something. "Hello, what is that?" Blitz asks seeing the moon.

Twilight looks up and sees a mare in the moon marking. "What the…even if we didn't stop her, there is supposed to be none of that."

"Hum and judging by the plant life, it has evolved to live in the night." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow at the plants around them. "Wow, but…no…there is another problem. I'm sure you know as you traveled around space."

"How did it change so quickly to nighttime plants only?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs as she keeps looking around. "Blitz, keeping the planet like this is a big problem. You know it."

"The planet is still moving or we wouldn't have gravity. The moon is most likely blocking the sun when it should be day." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "And the planet would freeze."

"Lulu?" Blitz asks.

Twilight stops before looking to see a path on way. "We got a spot to go to. Let's hope it's another villain we defeated."

"Twi, I just thought of something." Blitz says following.

Twilight looks back at him. "What is it?"

"Does the Everfree seem to be bigger than all the other times or is the map changing locations?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks at the forest height. "Strange, this isn't usually like that. Maybe it was to protect the plants here." She said before bumping into something hard and looks up to see an intricate black armor in front of her. "Oh boy."

"You find something?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks up to a very blank face staring down at her. "We got bat ponies."

"One moment." Blitz says before force choking the pony.

Twilight quickly looks back to him. "Um…not a great start."

"He was about to attack you and now." Blitz says throwing him through some trees.

Twilight sighs. "Well…this universe is Nightmare Moon. Wait…I just thought of something."

"Maybe we will meet up with Shadow and my granddaughter?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Maybe. Maybe not. And that's if she remembers the history of her family. Would be funny if you spank her."

"I will find a paddle if she disrespects me." Blitz says as the castle comes into view.

Twilight looks back at him. "Would you do that to our foals?"

"Oh not unless they really deserved it I love them too much." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow.

Blitz smiles. "I'll only do it on the foals if they misbehave badly." He said raising a hoof. "Mandalorian honor."

"Oh, who are you kidding, they just have to stare up at you with quivering lips and you cave." Twilight says smiling.

"You're right of course, but not for Lulu." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "But you cave for Terra."

"Terra is my daughter in law, it is not my place to punish her." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Uh huh." She said as they walked across the bridge. "Do you still miss her?" She asks after a while.

"I miss all of…hello Shadow Runner." Blitz says.

The new armored pony reels back a little.

"Not bad, but I know how you sneak." Blitz says smirking.

The armored pony takes off the helmet and shadow with an almost buzz cut on her mane stood there. "I wonder; did she have time for a foal?" Twilight asks.

"I doubt it." Blitz says.

Shadow frowns at them and points a spear at them as more ponies come out with weapons posted at them too.

"Please." Blitz says before force choking all but her and tossing them around like ragdolls. "Now sexy, if I can do that, why didn't I do that to you?" Blitz says pushing away the spear and walking up to her.

Shadow doesn't say anything as she kept glaring at him, but backs up a bit.

"Take us to Luna, we have something to discuss with her." Blitz says not letting her get far.

Shadow frowns as she growls silently.

"Oh, then maybe I will tell your men what fetishes you have." Blitz whispers to her freezing her in place.

Twilight snickers as she watches. "List all of them to her." She suggested.

"Your first and favorite one is bondage done to you." Blitz whispers to her making her pale.

Shadow gulps as Twilight keeps snickering. "Keep going. We never get this chance."

"I will unless she agrees now." Blitz says smirking under his helmet.

Shadow keeps glaring at him as she keeps backing up into the castle wall.

"Oh, then let's go with the most humiliating one. You like to…" Blitz was stopped when Shadow put her hooves over his helmet where his mouth was.

Twilight groans playfully. "Aw, wanted to embarrassed her more."

"I give, come on." Shadow says putting back on her helmet to hide her now scarlet face.

Blitz snickers to himself as they follow her inside. "They aren't dead, are they?" Twilight asks seeing the bodies on the ground.

"No, only unconscious. If I wanted them dead, I would have snapped their necks." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs in relief. "Good. They are still ponies here."

"Odds of her leading us into a trap? I bet an absolute certainty." Blitz says.

Twilight hums. "Highly. Very much."

"Oh hey, it's Rarity." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to see Rarity in a less armored Nightguard outfit. "Rarity…? Um…" Twilight tries to say anything.

"Keep up Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and hurries to catch up to Blitz and Shadow. "I wonder what happened to everypony else."

"So those wings of yours still sensitive to the touch?" Blitz asks Shadow.

Shadow eeps and hurries up and runs ahead a bit.

Twilight giggles seeing this as they follow till they come to the throne room.

"So where's queeny?" Twilight asks jokingly.

Shadow turns to Twilight and stares in shock.

Twilight smiles as lightning strikes. "Just wanted her to get out here."

"She was on the throne Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as Nightmare Moon appears on the throne. "Blitz, she's all yours. I got the state of their weapons." She said looking around at the guards having their weapons almost pointed at them.

"Oh, by the way, that one is Rainbow Twi." Blitz says pointing Rainbow out.

Twilight smiles as Rainbow takes her helmet off and waves. "Hi, you're wing armor is off by a few inches and making your wings pinch together."

"Ok, first, let's shed some light in here." Blitz says before clapping his hooves and all the candles lit themselves.

Nightmare blinks and glares angrily as she leans forward.

"When did we install so many candles?" Shadow asks.

"I needed the atmosphere for some potential stallions." Nightmare said.

"Boy, it must be really inconvenient for you when ponies applaud you." Blitz jokes.

Nightmare glares at him. "Who are you to speak to me like that?"

"Tsk, tsk, granddaughter of Hurricane." Blitz says as Shadow tries clapping her hooves and the candles go out.

Nightmare raises an eyebrow. "Hurricane."

"Commander Hurricane." Blitz says clapping his hooves again and the candles reignite themselves.

Nightmare gets up and slowly walks to him. "And who are to talk about my family in such a way."

"Because, I am your grandfather so show some respect." Blitz orders sending out a bit of his force energy influenced by the dark side.

Nightmare steps back a bit. "What are you doing?"

"Addressing my granddaughter, who I am about to discipline at this rate." Blitz says summoning a paddle.

Nightmare blinks at that. "What is that for?"

"To paddle you." Blitz says.

Nightmare frowns. "I am not some foal that I would easily…

"…OW!" Nightmare yells high pitched as she was the size of a foal as she was bended over Blitz's lap.

"Are you going to behave granddaughter or do I need to continue?" Blitz asks holding up the paddle.

"Never OW!" Nightmare yells as Twilight reads form a history book as those present could only watch with their mouths ajar.

"It says here that she sent Celestia to the moon. I would have thought she sent her to the sun so she doesn't have to see her." Twilight said.

"Have you learnt your lesson Lulu?" Blitz asks.

"YESSSS!" Nightmare yells as she cries.

Blitz puts the paddle away and holds his granddaughter in his hooves till she stopped crying.

Twilight smiles as she closes the book. "Ask her to release her sister."

"Be patient Twilight." Blitz says rocking Lulu.

Twilight sighs as Nightmare cries into his coat. "Strange though. Even without knowing much, she still treats you as family."

"Better, little Lulu?" Blitz asks removing his helmet.

Nightmare sniffs and looks up to him with crying eyes. "Why?" She cries.

"I discipline because I love you granddaughter." Blitz says nuzzling her making her giggle.

Twilight smiles as she walks up to them and hugs them both. "She's still your granddaughter, even though you have never been here."

"Ok. Lulu, come with me. Your grandfather will explain everything to you." Blitz says petting her mane.

Nightmare nods and hums as Blitz carried her off as Twilight sits near the chair and takes out the history book again. "Oh, there's one on griffons."

"So time travel is how you met grandmother? That explains how you are so young." Nightmare says.

Blitz nods as he looks around her room. "That is correct. You got your grandmother's brains I see." blitz says.

Nightmare smiles and blushes a bit. "Thank you."

"Now Lulu, you probably figured out already I can't be from your time as you would have sense some pony traveling back in time correct?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare nods. "Dark magic."

"Runs in the family I see." Blitz says letting the dark side influence his eyes to demonstrate.

Nightmare gasps. "Grandfather…"

Blitz then banishes the dark side from his eyes and raspberries her stomach.

Nightmare giggles as she tries to hold him back. "Grandpa." She laughs.

"So can you figure out how it is possible Lulu?" Blitz asks stopping.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really."

"Ok, I will explain because it is confusing. You see, a pony who we angered wanted revenge and decided the best way to do that was to go back and change something in the past that was very significant. Thereby stopping it from happening." Blitz says.

Nightmare stares at him as she listens. "So…how many times did you go back to fix it?"

"Counting this, three attempts. She is good though…Lulu, tell me, in your reign, did you ever come across something that can turn a pony into an alicorn or give them your lifespan?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really. Never thought about it."

"Consider this, if I can use this spell to go back in time and give Hurricane something like that, then?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare gasps. "Grandmother would still be around?!" Nightmare exclaims.

"Yes, so you think you can help?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare fiddles with her hooves. "I can try."

"That is all I can ask for little Lulu." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Nightmare giggles and hugs his snout. "I love you grandpa."

"I love you too little Lulu. You know something interesting?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare tilts her head. "What is it?"

"I saw three of the mares in my herd in your employ, can you guess who they are?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really."

"Come on, guess." Blitz says scratching her behind the ears.

Nightmare smiles as she leans into his scratching. "The one you call Rainbow."

"That's one, can you guess the other two?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare hums cutely as she adopts a thinking pose. "The mare that turn the candles back on?"

"You don't know the name of your captain of the guard?" Blitz asks.

"Captain? She is my right hoof." Nightmares says.

"Oh, then can you tell me her name?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare hums as she thinks with her tongue sticking out.

"Sha." Blitz sounds out as a hint.

Nightmare gasps. "Shadow! That's her name!"

"Good girl, now if you guess the third, I will go get your chef to make you a moon cake." Blitz says.

Nightmare gasps and adopts her thinking pose again.

'Even if you can't, I will still do that.' Blitz thinks.

Nightmare hums before looking nice to him with her tongue still sticking out. "I don't know." She said muffled by her tongue.

"Rarity, the one who does your tapestry and clothes. Now it is mooncake time." Blitz says before picking her up.

Nightmare cheers as she rides in his hooves. "Yay!"

Twilight sighs as she had spent three days here. "The queen wishes to see you now." Shadow says.

Twilight sighs as she puts the books away. "Okay, let's go." She said following her.

Nightmare was standing in her lab, having just finished something when in walked Shadow and Twilight. "I see you have come."

Twilight smiles. "It's nice to see you too granddaughter."

"Shadow, you mind going and checking up on our other guest?" Nightmare asks.

Shadow nods and walks off.

"Odds she will be fucked by Blitzy?" Twilight whispers to her.

Nightmare looks to her. "Possibly high as grandfather is quite cranky at times."

"So what you working on?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare smiles. "Something for grandfather."

"Tell your grandmother little Lulu." Twilight says.

Nightmare sighs and groans slightly. "Something for grandmother."

"For me?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "No, for other grandmother."

"Which one?" Twilight asks showing a list of names.

"The one that my father was born from." Nightmare growls a bit.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Lulu." She warns.

"What?" Nightmare asks.

Twilight points to her. "Anger."

"Fine." Nightmare says getting back to work.

Twilight smiles. "You're a good mare Lulu."

"Will you help or not?" Nightmare asks not appreciating the teasing.

Twilight chuckles. "Sure. Move over." She said starting to help her.

Shadow pushes her hooves together as she is held by Blitz while he rested a little. "Um…"

"You enjoy that?" Blitz asks.

Shadow gulps. "A bit."

"Only a bit?" Blitz asks petting her wings.

Shadow moans and leans back into him. "Yes."

"Oh, then maybe this time I should not just plow your flank but your second set of lips." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow moans and leans her head back. "Just do it already."

"Very well." Blitz says before entering her.

Shadow moans heavily as Blitz lifted her up in his lap. "Bl…Blitz."

"Yes commander?" Blitz asks dropping her.

Shadow smacks her lips together and moans. "Who was I?"

"My wife, look at your subordinate over there and the mare who fixes the tapestry on the other side." Blitz says.

Shadow moans as she was dropped again and looks at the mares in the hall who were trying not to look in their direction, but their ear twitches once in a while. "What about…them?" She asks with a moan.

"Oh they know what you are going through. As Lulu sent them to me days apart." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow groans out loud as she leans back onto him. "So…I'm…last?"

"And you get the longest of them." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow lazily blinks as she tries to keep awake. "Wh…why me?"

"Because you had to wait the longest." Blitz says before Shadow screamed out in pleasure and fell asleep.

Blitz smiles and lifts her up off of him before putting her on the bed they gave him and covers her up. "Sweet dreams my mare." He whispered in her ear which twitches.

When Shadow awoke, she found she couldn't move and she was gagged. "Hmm huhmm?!" She asks muffled.

"Oh, awake are you Shadow dear? I hope you enjoy this? After all, this is part of your favorite fetish." Blitz says doing something she could not see.

Shadow tries to move her head and groans again to him.

"Oh, are you ready for the next round already?" Blitz asks rubbing her wings.

Shadow moans and tries to look at him.

"Now time to experience what you love my mare." Blitz says.

"I think we figured it out." Lulu says.

Twilight nods and holds out her hooves on the edge of the table before they hear a scream and the whole table shakes and she catches a jar shaking itself off. "Your grandfather can make anypony scream."

"Sounds like Shadow. Glad I told my guards to ignore the screams." Nightmare says.

"So you are sure this will turn a pony into a alicorn?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare sighs. "Only way to know is to try it out. But you may change more than necessary. Be careful."

"I hope this works and Hurricane will be with us. For the past few years, your grandfather has hidden away sadness and despair from all of us. We noticed, but could never figure out why until he told us about Hurricane." Twilight says.

Nightmare smiles. "I hope you will be happy then. But I fear of what may happen with the timeline."

"Yes, I am just glad you don't want to use it yourself." Twilight says.

"I admit the idea crossed my mind, but then I thought what if doing so makes my grandparents never meet and as such, father never born." Nightmare says.

Twilight smiles and hugs her. "Like I said, a great mare Lulu."

"Like grandfather said, I have my grandmother's brains." Nightmare says.

Twilight sighs. "Listen, I think it's time to change things up. Get your sister out of the moon."

"Even if I did now, it wouldn't matter. The moment you go back in time, this timeline ceases to exist." Nightmare says.

Twilight smirks. "Alternate universe theory."

"I don't believe so, but I will tell you, what if after you leave, we are still here, I will free her and look after my uncles and aunts that will be born." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "Good. But you have to get all of us together again because some of us is scattered. Come to think of think, I have never seen myself in any of these universes."

"Maybe it is for the best if you two were to meet, who knows what could happen." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "Try not too hard. He would be shy in the beginning."

"If what you told me is true, grandfather isn't even on this planet." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "It's not until the me here has become an alicorn. You may have to speed some of the lessons and problems with the help of your sister."

"I'm keeping the crown." Nightmare says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow.

"I had this personally fitted for me. I am not giving it up or my comfy chair." Nightmare says making Twilight snort and giggle.

"Yeah, it's a very comfy chair." Blitz said walking in.

"So how was Shadow?" Twilight asks.

"In pure bliss and most likely pregnant." Blitz says.

Nightmare sighs. "I'll make sure she has her foal."

"You will be their role model Lulu." Blitz says hugging her.

Twilight snorts and giggles. "Though it would be funny if Shadow met this universe's Blitz and told him that I have already have your foal."

"Not the same thing Twi and our universe no longer exists and until we correct it, it will never exist." Blitz reminds.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Let me have my fun."

"I could take you to Rainbow and Rarity before we leave and have some fun." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "I already did before we left. I remember you being particularly rough on me. Kinda talked about teasing me about letting the changeling guards in and having them watch."

"You have changeling guards?" Nightmare asks.

"King of them." Blitz clarifies.

Twilight smirks. "Queen."

"How many did you kill?" Nightmare asks.

"Without firing a shot." Blitz says.

Nightmare blinks surprised.

"Take care Lulu." Blitz says leaving with Twilight who took the potion with her.

Twilight looks sadly to Blitz. "Are you going to be okay to do this?"

"It is worth a shot." Blitz says before walking quietly to the map without another word.

Twilight wraps a wing around him and pulls him close. "It's okay." She said as they make it to the map and pulls out a crystal.

"Take four." Blitz says.

"And that's another try. How good is she?" Blitz asks as they drop onto the map.

"There is Discord chasing your granddaughters." Twilight says.

"Moving on." Blitz says annoyed.

Twilight groans as she brings out another crystal as all three look over and Blitz gives an I'm watching you look.

"How did you hit Rainbow?" Blitz asks before looking over at the sight of Terek blowing everything up. "This world is gone." He said and Twilight already sent them on their way.

"And this place smells of capitalism." Blitz said as he looks and sees Flim and Flam farming the trees directly. "Prepare another. Hey Flim, Flam! What are you going to do when everything runs out?! Where's the bits going to come in then?!" Blitz shouts to them as they look over and looks back to the last tree in the field they are about to cut and then looks to the empty field as Blitz and Twilight disappeared.

"Twi, how many do we have left?" Blitz asks as she blocked Starlight's shot.

Twilight grunts as she keeps blocking. "Two more."

"And she sho…you're coming with us this time!" Blitz says using the force to throw her into the portal as they get sucked in.

"Welcome to what you created. The only floors here are a desolate wasteland with bad shrubbery and tumbleweeds for some reason." Blitz said relaxing in a chair as he looks at a tumbleweed tumbling by him as Starlight looks out to the wasteland. "Twilight, please give a lecture about our best guess of what happens when you fuck with history especially the huge event like an explosion of magical power that is seen at least by all of a country." Blitz says.

Twilight started lecturing Starlight and lets her know all of this, the death all those who were never born we're her fault, making her one of the world's most notorious murders.

Blitz sighs as he tries to relax with his hooves up on the table. 'Oh Twi. Lost the sense of using friendship anymore huh?'

"No, no, friendship could have caused all of this." Starlight denied.

"It's not about that anymore. You fool. You are so smart, but you can't fucking understand every action has consequences. I don't know what series of events lead up to this, but I do know there is a greater plan at work and by changing any of it you bring disaster upon all. Equestria is gone now." Blitz says angrily.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks around. "That kinda begs the question, what universe is this?"

"It isn't a universe Twi. It is a different timeline created because somepony's ego was bruised. That is all about, your ego was hurt when you were proven wrong and your lies came undone. That is the true reason you did this, no matter what you say." Blitz accuses.

Starlight levels a glare at him. "You don't know my history so how can you say that?"

"Try me. You think you are the only one who has a hard life. Oh bo ho you. You are not the only one in existence who has suffered and every day someone suffers worse that you. I could literally kill you for what you have done. You murdered my foals." Blitz says slipping further into the dark side.

Starlight tries to hold a glare at him, but it was now faltering. "Blitz." Twilight calls.

Blitz takes a deep breath. "Try me, let us see what made you this way." Blitz challenged.

Starlight's glare was brought back and she fires a spell at the map, opening up another portal before they were all sucked through it.

"Okay, so where are we now?" Blitz asks landing on a patch of grass this time and not the table before looking to Twilight. "And don't correct me in saying when please."

"It is when." Starlight said walking up to a house.

"Remember, I can still kill you." Blitz reminds.

Starlight frowns as they all peek inside a window and sees two foals messing around with some books and turning it into a stack.

"That's you huh…you know, it occurs to me if I kill your foal self, this will never have happened." Blitz says making Starlight sweet.

"And all you done will be unfolded as this would have never have happened." Starlight warns.

"So you best make me care enough to not take that chance because the option is now on the table, remember that." Blitz warns.

Twilight bumps Blitz's side and motions for Starlight to continue.

"Sunburst and I did everything together. In fact, I don't remember us ever being apart until today." Starlight says before they watched as starlight got his cutie mark.

"Sunburst. That rings a bell for some reason." Blitz says thinking. "Oh yeah, I have a captain named Sunburst in the fleet." Blitz says.

Starlight huffs. "Please, it's a somewhat common name and I doubt it would be him."

"Ok, the name of this town is Mayweather and his birthday is March 18th." Blitz says.

Twilight hits his side. "Shut up and let her talk for once."

"How did you know that?" Starlight asks.

"Personal file. Everyone has one in the military. Comes with keeping track of records and stuff for organization." Blitz answers.

Twilight facehooves. "Great. I'm going off to the side." She said walking away a bit.

"Stay." Blitz says pulling her back. "So all of this because you fell out of contact?"

"Yes!" Starlight yells.

"Alright, use the spell again take us to the night pirates attacked Manehattan and the royal guards burnt the city to try and stop them." Blitz says.

A portal quickly opens above them and pulls them away and drops them off in an alleyway.

"Why are we here?" Starlight asks as Blitz watches the orphanage as the city burned in the distance around the port. Soon a hooded figure walked out of an alleyway and looks around. The figure then quickly moved to the orphanage and laid a bundle on the doorstep and seemed to whisper something to it before running off.

"Go check the bundle." Blitz says taking off his helmet when the figure was out of sight.

Starlight ended up confused and moves to it and slowly moves the bundle a bit aside to see a foal. "So…it's a foal." Starlight asks.

Blitz only looked at her before she looks back and forth between it and him.

Twilight walks up to him. "I'm sure you can do the math."

"You don't mean this is you." Starlight said in disbelief.

Blitz says nothing and goes up to the door and knocks hard before the three got out of sight.

They get into the alleyway as the door opens and a clothed mare comes out and looks around before looking down and gasping before picking up young Blitz and carries him inside.

Blitz and the two walk away. "I was abandoned at birth by my mother as my father had died." Blitz says.

Starlight stares at him as the portal opens up again and they end up at a city. As they sat on the cloud, Blitz showed her the night his step parents died and his abduction by aliens.

"You think your life was hard now?" Blitz asks.

Starlight just stares as the ship leave the planet.

"They stuffed me in a container from there and I was to be merchandise. It was only by luck that the mandalorians raided the ship and found me. From there, all I learnt how to do for the rest of my childhood was to be a warrior and fight." Blitz says putting his helmet back on as the portal opened.

Blitz stood silent, watching the race as Twilight started talking to Starlight, explaining that friendship isn't something that can be lost so easily. Though the lives you may take different paths, the bonds you forged will never truly disappear. They will always be in the heart. Or something like as Blitz only half listened and watches the young Rainbow fly past and eventually make the Sonic Rainboom.

Blitz smiled as his one day to be wife looked incredibly pleased and the rainboom was seen across the country. Then the portal opened up and the three were drawn into it.
