Lightning snores quietly as Blitz stared at her while she slept and strokes her mane out of her face. "Always lovely." He said quietly.

"And you know it." Lightning says.

Blitz smiled as puts his hoof on her cheek. "You okay?"

"Yeah, though how far on the list were you when I fell asleep?" Lightning asks.

"About a tenth of the way through." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "Guess you have to tell me later. Now what do we do now?" She asks getting up slightly.

"Get ready as the battle has already started." Blitz says getting up.

Lightning nods and gets out of bed. "Guess I'll see after the battle." She said heading for her armor.

"Yeah, make sure you help the Major very well love." Blitz says getting up and joining her.

Lightning giggles. "Don't worry, I will."

"Thanks love. I will be handling the tribe our unit is facing and those that you picked yesterday will be handling the one the colonel is fighting today." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Okay, we better get going or we might miss our timing on this. Are you ready?" She said getting ready to put the helmet on.

"Yes I am. You go see those you chose last night and get them ready. I will go on ahead." Blitz says disappearing and pausing only to smack Lightning's flank before leaving the tent.

Lightning yelps and glares to the exit before putting her helmet on and heading out as well as Silver looks over the battlefield as most of the army groups start to place themselves according to the plan. "Are they in place?" He asks Wind as they walk through the lines and head to the front.

Wind nods as she looks around. "Yes, haphazard and all, but holding when confronted."

Silver sighs as he looks to the morning sun and sees the dogs actually at arms, holding a strong line. "They have to be getting tired of standing." He remarked before getting his weapons and looks up the clouds approaching. "Our favorite rangers in position?"

Wind sighs. "Yes, they are ready for covering fire when we get enough of a range."

Silver smiled. "Well, let's make it so. Soldiers, get ready!" He said before walking to the runners getting ready. As he said this, it started to snow.

Blitz looks down to the land behind him as he spots the griffon army and the dogs getting ready, though the dogs are a little sluggish in their movements. "Expect and pay." He said before turning around and climbing again. 'Though it didn't hurt I gave my ghost orders to hit and run all three tribes every night for the last three nights.' Blitz thinks before knocking on a door in the cliff.

"Yes?" A dog asks opening the door only to be kicked as Blitz threw himself into the bunker.

Blitz sighs as he walks through and keeps knocking on doors and lets the others handle pulling them out and killing them before trying to make it look like the whole place was still operational. "How big is this…oh." He said stopping at a map on the wall. "Wow, they like connections." He said knocking on a nearby door and when it was opened by a dog, did he throw a knife into its throat.

"Now let's…hello, they got a security camera down that hallway." Blitz says smirking as he presses a few buttons on his communicator and out of it comes a fly sized and shape droid which flies over to it and slices into its systems. "Now let's see if I can't determine the location of where they are broadcasting to." Blitz says. "Let's see." He said before his communicator crackles. "Blitz, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Lightning asks.

"Not unless you are seeing cameras. I'm already inside a bunker." Blitz says.

"Cameras? Equestria isn't even that advance. You got anything from it?" Lightning asks.

"They are not anything you would find in a business on planets like Palven, but advanced enough to where I am hacking into it." Blitz says.

Lightning chuckles. "And what are you getting now?" She asks before he hears a metal clanging and some choking noise.

Blitz smiled. "You okay?"

He seems to know she was smiling. "Oh, just being pressed against the wall by a ghost member. No, he's not doing anything. Just waiting for a dog to pass." She whispered.

"Gotcha, oh and now I have the entire thing under my control and recording all sources." Blitz says pausing for thirty seconds before speaking again. "And now looping the recorded footage to the one watching." Blitz says before looking around on all of the cameras. "Oh love, wave to the camera." Blitz says seeing her and the ranger on one of the cameras.

Lightning blushes and waves while the ranger tries not to look in that direction. "Sorry sir." He hears him. "I'm one of the few wearing the appropriate color. Unlike her armor, no offense." He said to her.

"None taken." Lightning said smiling.

"The others have left and the only one left around the corner has his back turned. Take him out and hide the body quickly." Blitz says.

Lightning taps the ranger's shoulder and he nods before moving along the old hallways and window sill and Lightning follows on the other end before he pounces and slices the dog's neck quickly before opening a nearby storage room and puts the dog in there and messes around. "Jealous?" Lightning asks while looking at another camera.

"No, now keep moving. Five coming your way from the direction you just came from." Blitz says.

Lightning looks ahead. "Okay, just don't get insulted when he handles me better." She said to him as the ranger covers up the dog and closes the door before heading up with Lightning again as the dogs finally come around.

"Say that when you beat me to getting the target first." Blitz says bringing out both blaster pistols and kicks open the door before unloading, killing all on the observation deck, including the warchief. "By the way, just killed mine and it looks like I can give orders to the dogs for a bit without them noticing." Blitz says smirking.

"Oh, can't wait to hear what you got to say." Lightning said as she stood on one of the five bodies.

"Ok, sealing this shut first." Blitz says setting his blaster pistol to be used to light a soldering torch and starts sealing that steel door close.

Lightning taps her hoof a bit. "I'm waiting." She said as the ranger looks around the corner.

"Seven coming from the front, sixteen coming the opposite way and further off." Blitz says before walking over the end of the observation deck and starts sending orders purposely leading to the dogs getting killed or losing ground.

"Can't believe they made it a bit easy for us." Lightning said as she and the ranger reach the mess hall and sees the few dogs there gathering their things and heading out, but sluggishly.

"Not really, they would have already alerted about you if not for me taking over the cameras and they are exhausted as I have had our ghosts do hit and run attacks every night for the last three nights." Blitz says.

"Then I guess I should reward you later." She grabbing some food before she nods and the ranger knocks on the kitchen door and a dog comes out before he was hit by some food and ranger slits his throat before he could recover.

"Save that for…heads up, your warchief target just walked in the crude cafeteria." Blitz said directing the first line of rifle wielding dogs into range of the griffon artillery and open for the heavy infantry to charge.

Lightning and the ranger quickly close the freezer before she picks up a pan and sends it across the kitchen and makes the warchief go to before jumping onto his back and quickly slices his neck and keeps going until she cuts the throat completely. "Silence." She said while a few pots and pans crash onto the floor.

"His guards outside the door are suspicious now." Blitz says as he continues to give horrible orders to the dogs, giving his unit openings to exploit.

Both Lightning and the ranger move quietly up to the door and let them enter and after a bit of walking inside did they both jump on them and stab their head and slice their throat. "Finally, anything else?" Lightning asks as they move the bodies into the kitchen.

"None yet." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and she and the ranger head out into the hall and look to the map nearby. "You find anything in the other areas?"

"I can see the third team, but I can't contact them." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Where are they?"

"Let's just say they about to go ninja assault on the last warchief." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to the camera nearby. "Really, is it over now?"

Blitz smirks. "They're done." He said seeing the dogs falling down.

"So the dogs catch on to you are sending the orders to get them killed yet?" Lightning asks.

"Maybe as there is some unusual actions by the dogs in my bunker and now I'm looking at one that is glancing at the cameras." Blitz says.

Lightning tilts her head. "So they took it out now, right?"

Blitz sighs. "Yep, they took it out so you better get going and get things done here." He said getting up as he heard banging on his door. "Because I'm going to be busy here so no help for a bit. One moment, I just have to do this one thing." Blitz says setting up a bobby trap on the door.

Blitz walks off and looks to the rusted, dusted and busted windows and goes to it before breaking some windows and puts some charges down on the electronics in the room before heading out and climbs up before sitting on the ledge. He sighs as he waits before an explosion comes out from the room and a lot of smoke came out from the window. "Ah, explosions." He said before jumping back in and sees the whole room destroyed and walks to the busted open door. "Hi boys." He said the destroyed bodies on the ground as he heads out again.

"Cross, what happened?!" Lightning yells.

"They walked right into a trap and the explosion should have gotten everyone's attention." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs in relief. "You know, you are still crazy." She said hurrying through the halls which look like it was abandoned for fifty years.

Blitz looks around as well before he stops. "Weird, I'm getting deja v…oh no, I am not saying that, it only brings me trouble." Blitz says.

Lightning looks out the window to see Silver and his army muscling through the dogs and sending off some of them scared while others were pressed into an attack. "What do you mean, what does this place remind you of?"

Blitz shakes his head. "Nope, you are not making me talk. Nope, nope, nuh uh, nope."

Lightning shakes her head before her and the ranger keeps walking until the ranger rounds a corner and suddenly rushes back to her and pulls her into a supply closet and closes the door behind them. "Got a large group with a lot of rifle boxes there." He said before he realizes how close this is. "I'm starting to hate this situation."

"Surge, heads up, a lot of dogs heading your way. They might be looking to arm themselves. There are too many to take on, right now, set fire to the gunpowder and run for it." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and looks to the ranger before taking out an incendiary grenade. "Hey ranger."

The ranger glares a bit. "Seeka. Seeka is my name."

Lightning nods. "Seeka, how do you feel about females?"

Seeka just raises an eyebrow. "What are you, OW!" He yelled as the door opens and he hops out, holding his talons between his legs. "Damn she can kick!" He yells before realizing that there was dogs right in front of him. "Oh, hi guys." He said before an explosion threw some dogs through the windows and Seeka takes out the other two with a quickly swipe and kicks one through the window. He huffs and turns to Lightning who appears around the corner. "Next time, warn me before killing my chance at life."

"Why? Someone already stole your chance at manhood?" Lightning joked.

"Tch." Seeka clicks his tongue. "Why did you have to use me like that?" He said sitting down now and trying to keep still.

"So the guy went from suicidal to whiny little bitch." Blitz says hearing all of that.

Seeka frowns as Lightning was about to answer before watching Seeka huff and look away to ahead of them. "No, he just came up with a distraction since there was too much. I couldn't get close to plant something, even far away without him. He's fine, though a dog used a dirty trick." She said, making Seeka look back at her in a bit of shock.

"I see, will talk to you in a bit." Blitz says opening a door and sees a griffon he hadn't seen in months tied to a chair.

The griffon moans before looking up. "Come for another run?" He said before chucking painfully and then coughs out blood. "Bastard."

"Haven't seen you since the walk to our first posting of the war." Blitz says.

The griffon smirks as he looks up. "Ah Cross. How far you came. Past the camps, past the front line, past the second. Made it to third, but that's where it ended. And I got to tell ya, this is a good place to hold someone."

"You can tell me all about it when we get you back to our forces. Lieutenant Colonel Claw should be breaking through now." Blitz says cutting the bindings.

The griffon still holds a laugh. "Oh Cross, if only you knew what is ahead. The things I have seen on that line will possibly make you shiver." He said trying to get up and uses the wall as support.

"Lean on me and I know the Overlord's forces is up next." Blitz says.

The griffon groans as he starts to lean on Blitz before they start walking back. "I thought I heard something go boom." He remarked as they passed the blown up room.

"Yeah, that was the observation deck the warchief was on before I mowed him down with the others in there with him and the explosion was from a trap I set up after I started sending order to the dogs from there. They actually thought the orders were from their warchief." Blitz says.

The griffon shakes his head and smiled. "You know I'm as good as dead if I go back, right?" He said looking to the doors and their inscriptions.

"No, I have heard the dogs talking about someone sabotaging them and they had recently captured him and you are the only one here." Blitz says.

The griffon stops him by tugging on him and stopping in front of a door. "Do you know the history of this place?"

"No, this place was only built recently." Blitz says.

The griffon chuckles. "Only what you see." He said before kicking the door and it opens to just a line of file cabinets with one table at the end with a map of the whole place. "This was an old bunker back in the day. The one you see was just expanded. Files for this place are in here. It's yours if you want it."

"Later, you need a doctor." Blitz says.

The griffon smirks. "I sincerely doubt a dead griffon on paper is going to get attention." He said before continuing to walk with him.

"Well I can think of one griffon who would care. Gilda." Blitz says.

The griffon stops and looks at him. "You know her?"

"You could say that, now come on." Blitz says getting him to walk again.

The griffon looks through the window and sees the battle going on. "Huh, that's interesting."

"The dogs are started to be pushed back." Blitz says blasting any dog he sees in the hallway with his free hoof.

The griffon nods. "Let's stop here." He said as they enter a large courtyard with half of it in the building. "This is the big middle for the second line."

"Surge, lock in on my coordinates and get here immediately, we got an officer who has been tortured." Blitz says.

"Acknowledged." Lightning said before almost cutting off. "No, move that talon." She said before he heard it cut off.

The griffon just sits down on a bench. "Boy, I'm wiped." Blitz just stands guard. The griffon looks to him. "So how far have you and the boy came along?"

"The kid is well on his way to being a competent commander." Blitz says.

The griffon nods. "Good, at least he has that going for him."

"Also a knight captain he knew from the academy worked her way into his bed." Blitz adds.

The griffon chuckles. "He was always a great catch."

"You can tell him when you see him." Blitz says before a wall near them is blown open, making a path to the outside.

The griffon covers himself as some rubbles and pebbles lands on them. "What the heck?"

"And that's my number two now." Blitz says as Lightning walks in.

Lightning groans as she steps in with the Seeka. "So who's the captain we got?"

"Major actually." Blitz says gesturing to the griffon on the bench.

The griffon gives a wave. "Yo."

"Time to get out of here." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Yes, but wasn't our orders were to hold the line until they get here?"

"No, our orders were to mess with the chain of command at a critical time." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and looks to him. "So, we climb down?"

"There's the stairs." The griffon suggested.

"And dogs are starting to fall back to them." Blitz points out.

Lightning raises an eyebrow. "Alright then, but how for now? At least trying to find our own group. Considering the first line is still there."

"Why do you think I left the tent in the middle of the night last night?" Blitz says pressing a button on the communicator.

They all wait till the whole place shakes and they see a lot of smoke bellowing up from the first line outside the window. "Did you…?" Lightning asks, almost with a smirk.

"Here comes the fire." Blitz says as explosions were heard.

Lightning looks through the window and sees some of the smoke clearing and that the front line of the dogs were decimated, but almost half of the next part were gone and the other was injured or jarred from the explosion. "Wow, nice job." She said as the griffons charge and kill or capture the rest.

"The path should be clear enough now. Let's go Seeka, help the major. Surge, you are with me covering them." Blitz says.

Seeka nods before going up the major and helping him out to the army below while Blitz and Lightning decided to go through the windows and starts surveying the land. "Okay, what are we looking for?" She asks as Seeka and major appear in a small catwalk jutting from the side of the mountain.

"Any dogs that try and jump them. Show me how much your sniping abilities have improved." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and takes out the rifle on her back before making a few changes and makes it longer. "Alright, let's see what we got." She said looking through the scope and following the two griffons. She looks on ahead before seeing a few dogs at the end of a hallway and quickly fires and takes them out. "Group one down." She said as the griffons reach the next level down and walks past the dead dogs.

Blitz smiles as he watches her work. Lightning breathes carefully as she keeps looking through. "Boy, there are a lot of dogs." She said firing off a few more shots before looking around and then ends up on one. "Wait, OW!" She yelled as a bullet hits near her hoof and makes her drop the rifle. "Crap!"

Blitz pulls out his blaster pistol and shoots the one who shot at her through the head. "No one takes a shot at my girl and lives to brag about it." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled before she sees her rifle drop onto another catwalk below and the griffons stop right in front of it before they look up. "I'm done. They don't have time to bring it to me." She said as Seeka picks up the rifle and continues to walk before pushing themselves both into a room and closes the door behind them as dogs enter the far end of the hallway and takes random shots to keep them down. "Blitz, you got another blaster that isn't a pistol?" She asks, checking her hoof and just see a few scratch marks on the armor.

"No, I only carry these pistols, why?" Blitz asks.

Lightning looks to him. "Cause I think it's time to get up close and personal." She said messing with something on her belt and takes out a hook spear attached to a cable and smashes it against the wall behind them. "You ready for a little run?" She asks looking back at him with a smirk.

"Oh so you're modifying your armor now." Blitz says smirking.

Lightning smiled. "Yeah, needed it just in case. So, want to go for a ride?" She asks, making sure the line is secure.

"Conceding defeat here?" Blitz jokes.

Lightning frowns and looks at him. "Blitz." She said tiredly.

"Just kidding love." Blitz says walking over and wrapping a hoof around her.

Lightning shakes her head before they both jump and a whirring noise came from the reel on her belt as they head down and they look over to the dogs still firing before the door the griffons went into was burst open and Seeka comes out holding the rifle and aims it before steadying himself and actually moves a leg onto the barrel where what looks like a footrest was on the far end of the barrel and braces himself the wall and pillar before firing a lot and filled the dogs with holes. "Wow, now that's a modification." Lightning remarked as they reach the level the griffons were on.

"You missed a spot." Blitz says before shooting the dog as he tried to crawl away. "Make their deaths quick and painless." Blitz says.

"That is the sign of a professional." Lightning finishes.

Seeka looks back at them as they land on the catwalk they were on and Lightning shakes herself before the roll of cable rewinds itself and soon finishes with a clank. "I believe this is yours, sorry for destroying the integrity of it." Seeka said giving the rifle back to Lightning.

"Nothing that washing it won't fix." Lightning jokes.

Seeka raises an eyebrow. "Even the footrest?"

Lightning smirks. "Well, you gave me something to use in case I fall asleep now." She said looking at it and the barrel.

Seeka shakes his head before heading back into the room and grabs the major and they start walking again. "Come on guys. At least we get out first before doing anything else." He said as they walk past them.

"Speaking of which, here comes some of our unit now." Blitz points out.

They all look over and sees some griffons coming up and hurrying past them as some stayed behind. "Sir." One of them said as he looks to Blitz.

"Continue." Blitz orders.

The griffon nods before he and the others start going back the way Seeka and the major came from. "Come on." Seeka said as they continue to walk down the catwalk lines and soon they reach where Silver and Wind were waiting and watching the whole thing. "So, who have you saved now?" Silver asks, seeing the major.

"Your academy buddy. Turns out, he is the one that was sabotaging things, whom the dogs have been taking about." Blitz says.

Silver smiled. "Thanks major, but let's go get you healed up." He said as Seeka took him away to the infirmary. Silver then turns back to Blitz. "Now what else have you found in the second line?"

"The bunkers are being secured as we speak, but I think that the Overlord's personal army is bigger than we think." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Thought so. We better use the second line to our advantage here. At least leave us something." He said looking to the mountain.

Wind looks carefully to the bunkers all along the mountain. "Huh, who knew they would hold up well, mostly?"

"So how is the other two units fairing?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "They are holding up and right now, since we are getting the second line ours, we are sending help to them to end it quickly."

"It's in your talons commander." Blitz says.

Silver nods and walks off to the bunkers, leaving Wind with Lightning and Blitz. "So, how did your end go?" Wind asks after a while.

"As well as it could, though we lost one of our guys and two more are badly injured." Blitz says.

Wind sighs. "Well, at least we got that place with minimal loss. What do you want to do while we set up for the final push?"

"I will be preparing with Surge in my tent." Blitz says.

Wind nods. "Okay, I'll see what I can do with setting up the line." She said before walking away.

Lightning looks to Blitz. "And what are your plans now?"

"Get your gear and follow me, we have a few things to do." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Sure, just let me see how this rifle handles now and I'll meet you at…?" She asks.

Blitz nods and heads for the tent. "Sure, just meet me at the tent. I got something for you later."

"You got it." Lightning says smiling under her helmet.

Blitz chuckles as soon as she was far enough away. "Though, it is not the way you like." He said to himself, entering the tent.

Twilight pushes her hooves together as she sat down and Arcane nuzzled her side. "Okay, okay. Just calm down…um, list, yes, list." She said trying to fumble with a scroll before she drops it. "Oops."

Twilight goes to grab the list, but Arcane climbs up her wing before she could. She looks over and sees him getting it for her and picking it up with his mouth. "Mmmm." He mumbled.

"Oh you are mommy's little helper, aren't you?" Twilight asks smiling as she leans in.

Arcane laughs and drops it on her lap and speaks once. Twilight and looks over the list. "Maybe I should have changed a few things." She said seeing a few things the same thing in a line.

Arcane starts climbing up her wing again. Twilight giggles and lets him until he ends up on her head. "Aw, you want to help mommy, don't you?" She asks tickling him.

Arcane just laughs and tumbles off her, only to be caught by Twilight's magic as she hears fireworks outside. She looks over before getting up with Arcane in her hooves and looks down to the town square and sees a familiar sight. "Oh boy." She said as she sees Trixie's stage and herself performing again. Arcane just laughs and reaches for it. Twilight looks down and smiled. "Want to go see?" Arcane laughs as he keeps reaching. "Alright, let's go." She said heading out with him on her back and a few changelings following.

Twilight walks up to the show and watches with Arcane on her head. Twilight also catches sight Octavia, Azure, Applejack, and Blazer in the crowd as well. "Hey guys, how's she doing now?" Twilight asks, walking up to them.

"Doin great. She is just putting on a show the best of her abilities and not just showin off or putting others down." Applejack says.

"So how is Blazer reacting to staying at the farm?" Twilight asks.

Applejack smiled as he looks to him who was carrying a cloth wrapping with straps. "Pretty well. Though he is a heavy sleeper. Still want to practice with those knives of his."

"But you are keeping him busy with chores?" Twilight asks.

Applejack grins. "Of course, he can't stay on the farm if he can't do them." She said as Blazer stiffens a little. "Kidding, I would never throw him out." She whispered to Twilight.

"That and Blitzy would lecture you for who knows how long." Twilight whispers back before they share a giggle.

Arcane just jumps down and goes to Blazer who chuckles and wraps an arms around him as he messes up Arcane's mane. Twilight shakes her head and smiles before she sees Trixie finished her performance. "Thank you mares and stallions, fillies and colts. Also, thank yourself for letting yourself see the greatest show ever!" She yells and the crowd gives an applause and starts to disperse until Trixie sees what she didn't want to see yet. "Oh boy."

Twilight smiles as she walks up to Trixie. "Hey Trixie, how have you been?" Twilight asks.

Trixie huffs. "Well, after getting Trixie's mouth fixed, Trixie was able to make a few more performances again. At least Trixie made bits on those. Though there are still some who hold resentment against Trixie here." She said, looking to a few of them.

"I see. Want to come into my home and have some tea and snacks?" Twilight asks.

Trixie looks at her surprised. "Really, you would let Trixie come into your library?"

"Well the library isn't really my home anymore. The crystal castle is, but yes, I would. I can even introduce you to my son, Arcane." Twilight says happily.

Trixie leans closer. "Son?"

"Oh yes, I'm now married with a foal. Unfortunately, my husband isn't around right now, he is currently in the griffon kingdom." Twilight says.

Trixie looks closer to the group. "And…who's your son?"

"Arcane." Twilight calls causing him to come running.

Trixie just stared at the foal as he runs up to Twilight and nuzzles her leg. "How…wha…?"

"Yes, he is an alicorn. It is possible for a male alicorn to be born." Twilight says picking him up and nuzzling his nose.

Trixie's jaw slightly drops. "Um…wow…Trixie is surprised."

"Also he really liked your show." Twilight says as Arcane claps his hooves and cheers or as close to that as he could.

Trixie smiled a little. "Oh, good. Trixie guesses Trixie could go for some tea." She said as she jumps off the stage and kicks it once before the whole stage got packed up on her caravan.

"Also, feel free to stay the night as there are plenty of free rooms." Twilight offered.

Trixie blushes. "Um…Trixie doesn't want to be a bother."

"Oh you are no bother at all." Twilight says.

Trixie still blushes as they all start to head back until Trixie notices the little griffon with a long cloth bag on his back. "Um…griffon?" She asks the others while pointing at him.

"My husband sent him. His parents didn't make it during the war." Twilight whispers to her.

Trixie nods and keeps watching the griffon. "And the cloth bag?" She whispered back.

Twilight smiled. "Private, his own keepsake. Though I will tell you this, he will receive training on it soon enough. Now let us go into the castle." Trixie just stared at the big crystal castle. "Come on." Twilight said as the others walk in and Trixie tries to follow, but can't be unfazed by the many stares from the changelings as she stepped inside. Much to Twilight's relief though, they were in disguise.

As they had tea, Twilight got Trixie to open up a bit and she was actually laughing as they had maretalk until Arcane started to try to climb onto Trixie.

Trixie eyes Arcane as he giggles and keeps climbing until he ends up on top of her head and cheers. "Um…does he usually do this?"

Twilight smiles. "Looks like. We are still understanding his quirks."

Trixie tries to keep watch as he looks around on her head and jumps onto her back and starts playing with her mane. Trixie smiles as he plays with her mane, almost braiding it. "Wow, he's…resourceful."

Twilight smirks as she pours more tea. "Blame my husband for that."

"So who is your husband? Have Trixie met him yet?" Trixie asks.

Twilight sighs. "No, not really. And he's the prince now since he's married to me. However, his name is Blitzkrieg, we just say Blitz as an easier way."

"Trixie sees. So what this little guy's full name?" Trixie asks.

Twilight looks at her. "Listen, you're alone with me and Arcane now and a couple of guards, but you don't have to speak in third person, you know that right? I'm okay with it, but it can make it hard to speak sometimes."

Trixie sighs. "Thank goodness. I usually do that to enhance the performance. Until they started to take their bits back. What a letdown."

Twilight nods and drinks some more. "His name is Arcane Force."

Trixie looks to her back and sees that Arcane seems to have accidentally braided her mane. "He's…cute." She said as Arcane giggles.

"Yeah, he is and I hope to have many more foals with my husband." Twilight says.

Trixie looks a bit a surprised. "Really, more?"

"Yeah, that is the plan after all. I just hope my husband comes home from the war safely." Twilight says.

Trixie sighs. "Well, here's to a safe return." She said holding up a cup before drinking.

Twilight holds up her own. "Safe return." She said before drinking.

Trixie goes silent for a few moments after putting the cup down before her eyes shot open. "Wait, he's fighting over there?" Trixie asks.

"Yeah, he is a knight of the griffon's court." Twilight says.

Trixie looks shocked as Arcane gets back on her head and looks curiously to her. "Kn…knight?"

"Yes, I recently got word he was recently promoted to knight major." Twilight says.

Trixie tries to speak. "How…?"

"He is very good at what he does. Oh, here is a picture of him." Twilight says bringing out a picture of her and Blitz.

Trixie takes it and looks at it, seeing the stallion, she was a bit surprised. "So, this stallion is the one you married, right?"

"Yes, that is Blitz." Twilight says.

Trixie gives the photo back. "Thought I recognize him. He actually appeared in my one of performances or at least walked past it."

"Oh so you have seen him." Twilight says before smiling at the picture.

Trixie nods. "Yes, though he didn't stay and watch. He just gave a passing glance at my performance."

"I actually taught him how to use his magic. All he could do before hand was telekinesis and a blast of magic." Twilight says.

Trixie looks at her. "Really, that's all he knew? I thought he might experiment a bit more. Foals usually do that." She said as Arcane braids another length of mane and it falls into her view. "Now that's a good bind." She said seeing the end and making Arcane cheer before he slides down her neck and starts braiding another length.

"He was raised by earth ponies and mostly used physical things. I only discovered that is all he could do when he asked about a low level spell he found from a book." Twilight says.

Trixie nods. "So…he's never been officially taught?" She asks carefully.

"No. You see, he was orphaned while still a foal and his adopted parents died while he was still a foal and then was kidnapped by slavers." Twilight says.

Trixie gasp quietly. "Then…is he…you know…one of them?" She whispered to not let Arcane hear.

Twilight looks carefully at her. "No, he got out and was found by another family. They took him and train him so as to not let it happen again. Now, I guess you can say, he's a mercenary. After all, I doubt they would let slavers be knights on the griffon army."

Trixie sighs in relief. "Ah, good. So what are you doing now?"

"Mostly raising Arcane there." Twilight says.

Arcane laughs as he drops another braided mane length and cheers again. "He keeps going like this and he will run out of hair." Trixie said looking it over. "How old is he now?"

"Not even a year old." Twilight says.

Trixie hums as she grabs Arcane and puts him down on the table. "Still cute. Though, I now wonder, the others, how are they?"

"Rainbow and Pinkie are now pregnant, Applejack is working on her farm, Rarity is running her shop, and Fluttershy is looking after her animals." Twilight says.

Trixie nods before looking at her. "Rainbow and Pinkie are pregnant?"

"Yeah and are expecting soon enough, though it is driving Rainbow crazy as she hasn't been able to fly since the doctor told her not to for the foal." Twilight says.

Trixie started to smile. "Heh, that's funny. And Pinkie?"

"Not much has changed." Twilight says.

Trixie raises an eyebrow. "Really, her?"

"Yeah, no changes." Twilight says.

Trixie shakes her head. "Unbelievable. At least she isn't out causing panic and making an angry mob."

"It would be really easy for her to do." Twilight says.

Trixie looks around. "She isn't, is she?" She asks looking around for her.

Twilight waves her off. "Don't worry, she won't do that to a friend."

Trixie blushes. "Really, a friend?"

Twilight nods. "Yes, Pinkie would never bring an angry mod to a friend. At least, without a reason."

Trixie sighs. "At least I have that going for me. Not like…well…"

Twilight smiled. "It's okay. That's the past. Now then, more tea?"

Trixie nods and holds out her cup. "Sure."

Blitz looked out the watchtower and sees some of the army that is waiting for them. "At least they are holding."

Silver comes up behind him. "Hey, how's it looking?"

Blitz sighs. "We got a line. Looks like you have to come up with a convoluted plan that's even more convoluted than the last."

Silver presses his beak together. "At least I can work with that, so, you find anything of interest here?"

Blitz shakes his head. "Not really, just rust and snow."

Silver takes out something from his coat. "How about this?" He asks, showing what Blitz recognized as an old tape recorder.

"That is…hold on, we got movement from the Overlord's army." Blitz says.

Silver grabs a nearby telescope before looking through and seeing some of the lines moving forward. "Can you make anything out from your end?"

"Looks like they are coming out of their fortifications. Seems he wants a straight up fight." Blitz says.

Silver groans. "Great, let's hurry this up then. I want you and the rest of ghost team to take out the sides one by one. Try not to make yourselves known, but do some damage. If you can place traps, then do it." He said placing the tape recorder away.

"I was correct, they have more than we suspected." Blitz says.

Silver eyes Blitz. "Numbers isn't everything."

"Considering they are probably close to the combined numbers of all three units combined and we have lost men from the earlier battle and they are fresh and ours aren't." Blitz says.

Silver frowns. "I guess I'm on my own here, aren't I? Well, let's get to work, by the way, you are doing this. I need a thin out. If you can't get to them, at least hurry and place down traps ahead for us and we will thin them out in another way. The bunkers here will provide some cover." He said, eyeing the broken part of a roof of a viewport room.

"I suggest against that, we will never be able to fortify the all the way. I suggest pulling back and setting up at choke points to hold the line so we are not overwhelmed." Blitz says.

Silver looks around and sees a few paths in the mountains and some on the bunkers themselves. "Alright, want to sound the signal or should I?" He asks as he looks through the telescope again.

"You're the commanding officer here." Blitz says.

Silver held back a chuckle before grabbing a nearby horn and then notices a little crank on the wall nearby. "That isn't an alarm system, is it?"

Blitz raises an eyebrow before looking at something ahead of them and sees something. "I recommend a musical instrument." He said before grabbing something from his pouch and grabbing Silver by the collar and drags him away and sticks a bar of white paste on the ceiling. "I recommend that you don't for now, they will get a wakeup call soon." He said before they hear an explosion from where they stood.

Silver looks a bit surprised. "Wow, thanks for that." He said after they stop for a bit. "Better get to the others. See what you can do with the other checkpoints. I'll see to it that the soldiers are ready, the ghost team is yours." He said before running off.

"Surge, get all members of the ghosts able to fight and meet me at point Dragma 5." Blitz says into his communicator.

"Copy, on the way." Lightning said as he hears all the nearby soldiers gathering their weapons.

"Tell them we have to hold that point at all costs because if we don't, we will be overruned." Blitz says.

Lightning was silent for a bit before he hears her yelling a bit. "They now know. Now we just have to worry about getting there in time. How fast can you get there?"

"I'm going too held up by some dogs." Blitz says withdrawing his claws and looks at the elite troops coming at him.

Lightning chuckles. "Since when are you held up?"

"Since what looks like a company is coming at me." Blitz said as he swipes at one of the first dogs to reach him.

Lightning shakes her head. "Just get here or I will do it personally by the one thing on you that I know you like and need." She said with a chuckle.

Blitz rolls his eyes as he stabs another one and then kicks him into his friends. "Okay, even I know you would like it, but take command till I get there."

"You got it sir." Lightning said a bit humorously before cutting off.

"Now where was I?" Blitz asks facing the dogs who took a slight step back before trying to set themselves forward again.

"He's late." Lightning says to herself as she and the members of ghost and the soldiers guarded the checkpoint from the funneled dogs.

"The next one who says I'm late again, will be dealt with, harshly." A voice said behind her. 'Some, in more ways than one.' He sent to her.

Lightning smirks as she turns around and throws something over her shoulder. "What took ya?" She asks as an explosion came from the pass.

"Elite company of dogs. Hence, why my armor is covered in blood." Blitz says sounding winded.

Lightning taps his shoulder. "Well, you're with us now. Now you can relax a little and by that I mean, man a turret or what these guys can have as a turret. Carefully, it's weak already and low on ammo."

"How are we doing?" Blitz asks.

"Twenty nine wounded, but luckily no casualties yet." Lightning informs.

"I see." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him. "Got anything fun for us to do?"

"Surge, lay down a barrage and keep the dogs pinned down, we are reforming the line." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and heads out around the area before stopping and trying to hold down the dogs. "Yes sir." She said grabbing her rifle and firing it on full auto.

"Reform the lines while Surge pins the down all soldiers, grab your rifles and form three ranks. Front ranks will fire then move to the rear to reload then the next rank will move up and fire as well then repeat the order." Blitz orders.

All the soldiers start to grab their rifles and start to set them up as lines in front of the dog army and soon they aim and fire before ducking and moving behind the formation and starts reloading as the next line fires. Blitz looks ahead to the bend where the dogs were coming from and still sees them coming. "I really hate equal numbers." Blitz says withdrawing his blaster pistol and starts firing with them.

After four hour of fighting, the dogs started to thin out and only the few that are meaning or coming in are now hiding behind the rocks and walls. "Stay in formation and pin them down with cover fire!" Blitz yells. "Surge, how are we looking on ammo?" Blitz asks.

"At least enough for a sixty shots for each and as for me, I just have enough energy packs for five more runs, gun not included." She said moving about.

"I see, I think the Overlord is wising up to what is happening." Blitz says as Lightning started to see signs of exhaustion from him.

Lightning stops firing for a bit. 'Blitz, are you okay?' She sends.

"I'm fine. I'm just wishing I could take a stim right now, but I swore I would never inject myself with anything ever again." Blitz says.

'Blitz…' She tries to send, but stops after the word.

'I'm fine love.' Blitz sends. "Get back to shooting Surge!" He yells as he kept firing.

"Roger." Lightning says. 'I underestimated how much energy Blitz used up already. The truth is, I'm not much bette… no.' Lightning thinks finally seeing an injury in between the gaps in Blitz's armor. 'Blitz?' She sends.

Blitz doesn't reply as he keeps firing, but Lightning noticed he fires once with his right forehoof for every three from the left one.

Lightning sighs and blocks out everyone else and messages another number. "Minerva, give me a progress report. How are we looking from up there?" Blitz sends.

"Pretty good on most fronts, the ones having trouble is the one having the bunkers as their defensive position. However, the passes are holding them back." Minerva said.

"I need a volunteer to make a run to Captain Gilded." Blitz yells.

One of the soldier runs up to him. "Sir, what do I tell him?"

"Tell him that the dogs are tunneling into the bunker and that they may start redirecting troop to those assaults." Blitz says.

The soldier nods before running off and then flying off. Blitz turns back to the fight and fires at a head peeking out and kills him. "Ok, we are changing tactic, a third of each line report to me." Blitz orders.

The soldiers run over to him and takes cover as Blitz turns to them. "Ok, while they keep them pinned, I want all of you to start making cover from anything you can find." Blitz says trying to keep the tired soldiers morale high.

The soldiers nod before heading off to the nearby entrance to the bunkers and starts grabbing boxes and metal plates and place them around the firing spots of everyone still there.

Blitz was about to go help when he spotted something. "Men, double time it, there are new reinforcements coming and they are wearing unique armor." Blitz says.

They soon see a darker color armor coming around the bend and just marching up to the line and actually knocks the helmets of the dogs to shake themselves out of it. "Surge, try to hit them and only them. I want a third pinning the regular dogs, everyone else, shoot the new ones." Blitz calls out.

The soldiers starts moving to their positions and starts firing on the dogs they are on as the armored ones kept marching. "Um…sir? They are just bouncing off." One said.

"I see. Anyone got anymore grenades?" Blitz asks.

Everyone stops and grabs at their belts and take out some grenades. "Hold until they are close enough and once you see a clump of them together, throw it after pulling it and wait two seconds. Remember, two seconds or you're losing a talon." Blitz said.

They all line up and kept firing at the armored dogs or the ones still taking cover before they reach a small point and start to squeeze through before a few griffons cook theirs and throws the grenade down and soon lands right by them. The grenades explode and only leaves the legs of one dog and breaks the armor of another who was immediately pelted by bullets while it also created a bigger pass. "Oh boy." Blitz said to himself as he looks to the entrance of the bunkers ahead. "Move back!" He calls as he moves backward and keeps firing.

"Surge, fry them." Blitz orders.

Surge grabs a few grenades and throws them down before they beep a few times and then explodes into a rain of fire into the dogs and even the ones still hiding. "Who wants cooked dogs?" She calls as she meets up with them.

"Don't go celebrating just yet. They have forced us from our position and those won't burn long." Blitz says.

He was right as some of them shake off the fire and continue on. "Any other bright ideas?" Lightning asks.

"We got bigger problems than what you think." Blitz says as more started to come and with them a huge dog in the middle who was obviously important.

Lightning takes a look closer. "That's the lead chief?"

"I believe it is the overlord or at least another warchief." Blitz says.

Lightning looks back at him. "So we take him out and the part of this war is a bit easier for us?"

"Surge, check what is surrounding him right now and do it quickly as they are marching on us." Blitz says nonchalantly.

Lightning hits his side. "I know that, just tell me you got a plan in place or anything that might give us an edge."

Blitz does his best to hold in a groan and cringe from that hit as he tries to think. Lightning watches him carefully. "Blitz, are you okay?" She whispered.

Blitz waves her off. "This is troubling. Maybe…no."

Lightning looks back to the bunker. "How far can they go in the bunker before we fail?"

Blitz looks to the bunker as well. "Not much. We don't have a lot of leeway."

Lightning groans as she turns back to the walking group. "So what, we just keep hammering them until they fall?"

Blitz shakes his head. "No, there has to be a…that's it." He said now putting away his blaster and soon slides down and stops in front of the now stopped dogs. "I want to speak to your leader, one on one and challenge him to a fight to the death. Winner takes all." He announced as some of the dogs look amused.

They soon part to a surprisingly lighter armored dog with a bit lighter colors and having more gold lines on his shoulders than the rest of the dogs. "So the resistance wants to challenge me?" The dog asks as he steps forward.

Blitz nods and ignores the twitch in his back and shakes his hindleg a bit so no one can see, but Lightning did. "Yes, but I do alone. If I win, I gain control of your army and the ones who don't listen, well…I'm sure you can guess."

The dog laughs. "And your weapon of choice?" He asks taking out a sword from his back as Lightning quickly rushes down.

Blitz reaches for his pistol. "Mine is…"

"Wait." Lightning calls out as she reaches the bottom and pulls Blitz aside for a bit. "Don't, I've been noticing." She said whispering.

Blitz turns slightly to her. "It's the only way as we have no other options with what we have other than an intergalactic army." He whispered back.

Lightning looks to the dog before turning back to him. "Then I'll do it."

Blitz looks shocked. "No, this is a fight to the death."

Lightning smiled. "And I intend to win." She said before stepping away from him and walking forward. "I intent to take his place and my choice is this." She said taking out her long knife.

The dog laughs. "What's wrong? You afraid so you send your own second in command to do it for you?"

Blitz growls a bit. 'Dang it Lightning. What are you doing?'

Lightning chuckles. "Come on, you want to be marked as the dog who killed an exhausted stallion or the dog who killed the most agile mare around using nothing, but your sword and me with my knife?"

The dog grins. "You make a most perfect offer. All right then, have at you." He calls as most of the dogs back off and the griffons still keep their rifles aimed at most of the dogs' weak spots as Blitz backs off to the bunker door to not let any dogs past him during the fight. 'Be careful.' He sends to her.

'I love you Blitz.' Lightning sends back before she starts running around him in a square shape and the dog tries to follow him.

The dog laughs. "Good, I will certainly be promoted after this." He said trying to follow her.

Lightning chuckles. "If you live." She said taking a quick swipe at his exposed jugular.

The dog growls as he pulls away at the last second and feels his neck cut a little. "Damn you!" He yells before slamming his sword down onto the ground of where he thought she would be and smashes the ground as Lightning jumps over it and takes a swipe at the hilt of the sword and hits the paw only a little.

Lightning chuckles as she lands on the rock jutting out from the wall. "Damn yourself bitch."

The dog growls lowly. "No one calls me a female." He said before heaving his sword with two paws now and readies a swipe at her. "Come on!" Lightning skillfully dodges him, showing off her pegasus agility.

Lightning chuckles some more as she jumps over him and lands on the other side of the wall. "You know, I expected more from a warchief." She taunted as she twirls her knife around.

The dog growls a bit and swings it towards her in a downward motion and breaks the cliff she was on. "Whoops." Lightning said in front of him and just messing with her knife. "Missed." She said bored.

The dog frowns and smashes the sword at her and cracks the ground underneath her as she jumps up and out of the way a bit and swipes at the hilt again and cuts away some of the bindings and nicks the paw before jumping on the sword and then jumping away. "Missed again. Come on, we got better things to do. I had more fun shooting at you guys from behind cover than this." She taunted again as she puts the knife over her shoulder.

The dog roared as he threw his great sword at Lightning. Lightning, seeing this, dodges it and the sword lodges itself into the wall. "Yeah, you suck." Lightning said as she landed on the sword and throws the knife at him and actually embeds it near his neck and into his armor. "I can do be…woah." She said as she tries to balance herself as some rumbling came about and some loose rocks fell from the top of the cliffs.

"What's that?" Blitz asks on a channel to Minerva.

"Um…Blitz, you might want to get out of there, now!" Minerva yells panicked as he hears the engine on the ship start. "This is a problem for everyone, including the griffons. Get out now!"

"Everyone move, the bunker is coming down." Blitz says as he noticed the heat starting to rise.

All the griffons and ponies immediately fly away and the ones inside start to come out before joining their friends and the ponies stuck on the ground start to run back to the first through the passes left behind and free of trouble as more rocks and bigger ones start to fall. Blitz and Lightning immediately get out, but not before Lightning jumps onto the front of the dog and hang onto his collar. "I believe this is mine." She said grabbing the knife and swiping at neck and cuts it open. "I was playing around by the way." She said before flying off.

After they all got out, Blitz was about to say something to Lightning when a roar was heard. They all look down as they see a wall of rock form cracks in the wall and soon they see the wall start to push outward as the dogs nearby start to back off and head back until the whole wall burst open in a shower of rock and dust. Lightning and Blitz cover themselves as some rocks hit them before they look and see the dust to settle to see a large rock ball of spikes roll out with red cracks before it stops in the middle of the pass and soon another thing came out that Blitz could only describe as a walking monster that had spikes on its back and roars out as it spews fire from its mouth before climbing the wall and heading toward the dog front line in the middle of the whole place. Soon another one came out that looked like an octopus that had arms and legs and soon screeches out loud and all of its tentacles waves away from it before it actually jumps and start to float away to the front line as well. Then more of the first fire spewing monsters start to come out as well and follow where the others went and they see the dogs were already fighting them with mostly close range attacks before they were either stomped or burned to a crisp. Both Lightning and Blitz look back to the hole again and sees some something moving so fast that it left a trail of energy in its wake before it stops at the entrance of the pass to the valley where the dogs were and flies up a bit and spreads it claws and flicks it's tentacle legs a bit before heading back to the ground and flies around fast, taking quick swipes with its long sharp claws. They soon look back to the ball that was left behind and sees it start to move before what looks like arms come out and stamp on the ground before the ball soon moved and created legs and a head with bull horns near its jaw and roars out loud as it sends some embers into the air before it slowly climbed and lumbers slowly to the army.

"Blitz?" Lightning asks after a while.

"Blast it." Blitz orders.

Lightning grabs his collar and holds his blaster in the holster. "Um Blitz, this is a lot of monsters and I don't think swords and spears are going to win here. Only ours will probably win this fight, especially with that heavy ball one. We aren't going to win without help. So call it in!" She yells shaking him slightly.

"Surge, after this is over I want you to help me get Daring to forgive me." Blitz says bringing out a syringe.

Lightning grabs his hoof, stopping him for a bit. "Blitz, call it in, please. At least let's hope of getting help with this before we go out there halfcocked."

"I already ordered a strike." Blitz says before injecting himself.

Lightning could only watch before Blitz starts to shake and then growls a bit before running off faster than usual and heads toward the group of monsters who were decimating the dog army and the griffons who were getting out of there. Lightning sighs and calls up Minerva. "Minerva, what do you got on this?"

Minerva comes on screen as she sees the Darkstar fly overhead. "Four types of infamous monsters. Our first one is called the Goliath." She said as the information on it appear on a second screen. "Mostly basic, like the monster movies you may have watched and has fire breathing as its biggest assets. Next up is the kraken. Expect this one is the land version and its specialty is lightning powers. Orbs of electricity that track you, lightning strikes, and being able to fly. Up next is the stealth type monster the Wraith. Able to make decoys and go invisible, able to supercharge itself and attack wildly as possible while possessing a high defense, make a charge explosion on where it is and abduct targets back to its location and do what it pleases. However, the last one, the rock ball is an unknown for now. You're on your own for that." She explained. "I already called for some help just in case it gets out of hoof and targeting the kraken." Lightning watched as Blitz withdrew his claws and lets out a battle cry, challenging the goliath in front of him. Soon she sees the Darkstar come around and drops some missiles and hits the kraken who immediately screeches loudly at the ship as she flew off. "Get to work honey." Minerva said.

Lightning shakes her head before flying off and taking out her rifle and starts firing at the goliath who weren't fighting Blitz as he gets onto the top of the head of the one he got and starts swiping away at it as it roared and tries to swipe at him. "Die!" Blitz yells before plunging his claw straight through the goliath's skull.

The goliath roars before slowly quieting down and soon fell down and all of its glowing lines and cracks on it start to die down. Blitz takes out his claws and heads to another goliath and starts to climb onto it and starts swiping at it. Lightning in the meantime was firing at what she could and keeps saying when the kraken was ready to be strike.

"Lightning, even injured as it is, you won't be able to harm it with that level, increase the power to your shots." Minerva says.

Lightning frowns as she messes with her rifle and soon fires a powerful shot that made the kraken roared at her to which Minerva sends more missile at it and hits it as well, blowing off some of its tentacles off and makes it bleed heavily before it electrifies itself and cauterizes the wounds. "Again." Lightning yells and fires again and trying to lead it her way.

Minerva comes around again as Blitz finishes with another before the wraith swipes him off the head and into another who then hits him and launches him into a rock. "Bastard!" Blitz yells as he gets up again and heads after the one who hit him last and jumps around on him as the Darkstar launches more missiles at the kraken and it screeches with lightning running about it and strikes coming down around it, taking out some dogs that were underneath or nearby and soon stops before falling to the ground gracefully and screeches weakly.

"Minerva, next one that can be hurt." Lightning asks as she reloads the rifle.

The Darkstar flies straight toward the last few goliaths and hits them with two dropped bombs and hits the last two, not counting the one Blitz just stabbed, and soon the whole area and monsters were engulfed in flames. "They are weak now, go for it!" Minerva calls out.

Lightning quickly flies over and fires her rifle as she goes along and soon overcharges her next shot and hits the head of one and it drops to the ground before reloading and trying to hit the other as it roars at her.

Blitz groans as he gets off the head and looks around until a giant rock ball rolled his way and stops before unwrapping itself and then roaring at him and blowing some snow off of him. "Wow, that's some bad breath." He said before running onto it and trying to hit before he realized he was only making sparks and takes out his blaster before turning it to full power and starts firing it at the crack on its head and trying to keep still as it tries to shake himself off of it.

Lightning flies out of the way as a fire breath came her way and tries to keep firing before the goliath roars and jumps at her and tries to reach for her as Lightning files up before feeling her wing get clipped and soon feels herself start to fall and then lands hard on the ground. "Ow." She said before grabbing her rifle and starts trying to run as she glides across the ground as the goliath now has its attention on her. "Great. At least I got this thing, but where's that quick one?" She asks as she keeps firing at the goliath's cracks in armor.

A dog was quickly scampering away as he looks back to the fight before some more dogs came to him and then a dark screech came from behind him and he was quickly swept up and then taken away before being dropped and soon killed. The wraith looks to the battle before seeing the little creatures run by and seems to not notice her. She shakes her head before just staying there as the one flying tries to get his attention and the one on him keep striking his head. Soon he rolled up in a ball and the one on his head gets off as he rolled around and tries to hit them before he unrolled right in front of them and then throws it's claw into the ground and grabs a rock and throws it at them as it splits into many pieces with molten magma before smashing it's claws into the ground and sends a shockwave into the ground that made some magma come out as some rocks start jutting out behind them and then a wall of rock spears come out behind them and literally create a wall of rocks and he starts trying to hit them as the one that was on his head went on him again and this time heads for his back and starts dropping something along the way before jumping off and his back explodes and some of his skin fell off. The one flying around soon strikes at those points and aims especially at two points before the he finally slowed down and tries to reach for them one last time before it fell down.

Lightning tries to catch her breath as Blitz starts calling someone. "Need a cleanup crew. We got a lot of creatures that should not be here." He said.

Lightning turns to him as he finally looks around. "Blitz, are you okay?"

Blitz chuckles before he stops and then falls to the ground. "Cross?!" Lightning yelled as she rushes over to him.

The wraith sees the one who was able to open her brethren's armor fall to the ground and seems down and out as the other one tried to help it. She growls slightly before looking to the area behind them and sees a large amount of creatures running to them and the one flying grabs it's weapon and tries firing at them, but they kept coming. She growls before charging herself and then launches a decoy that had the past ability and goes to the army approaching and attacks it as her invisible self moves to the front of the of the two left behind and after the decoy was gone, she appeared in front of them and then screeches as it spreads it claws out at the approaching army.

Lightning keeps staring as the wraith stood in front of them and just faced the leftover dog army coming their way. The wraith screeches again before it seems to spreads itself out and then glows blue and looks like electricity was running along its body and then charges at the dogs and then starts swiping at them fast and crazily. "Wow, it's good." She said as body parts were sent flying.

Lightning then turns back to Blitz as he was still knocked out and tries to see his status on her omnitool and sees him stable now. She breathes a sigh of relief before grabbing him and placing him on her back and runs off back to the griffons.

"Scans complete, a high dosage of poison number 7 in Blitz's cartridges will render the Wraith unconscious." Minerva's voice said over the radio. Lightning puts Blitz down and checks his packs and finds the cartridges and takes out her rifle. "Be careful, one drop can kill an elephant." Minerva says. Lightning nods as she makes a few changes to the rifle and puts the cartridge in and aims it at the wraith as it swipes at the last dog before turning to them and sees the flying one aiming at her. "Sorry." She said before firing and hits the wraith as it looks to the cartridge embedded in her before she moans and falls down. "Let's try something different with this one." Lightning said as she puts her rifle away and grabs Blitz again as the Darkstar lands nearby and she heads for it.

"I'll try to send for a particular team to get her. I can tell she will be really valuable." Minerva said as Lightning enters the ship and heads for the infantry.

Lightning nods as she places Blitz onto a bed and starts to get out of her armor and then gets Blitz out of his. "What did he take that made him like that?" She asks starting to work on the armor after taking off his helmet.

Minerva comes in as she starts up the systems. "A stimulant. Increases strength and speed. Drawback is that you can be knocked out at the end of it because of the express energy."

Lightning nods as she takes off his armor and starts to work on getting him attached to all the systems. "So he's just asleep now, right?"

Minerva sighs. "Yes, just resting and since we are in giant airship hologram disguise, he won't get mad and yell at us later." She said, the last part to the sleeping Blitz.

Lightning frowns. "Minerva, keep him here until he's well rested. Put this place into lockdown if you have to. I got to deal with the war we have been fighting for a while." She said heading back out, grabbing her rifle and heads to the armory and grabs another armor and more ammo before heading outside again and sees the wraith breathing softly as another ship came in and drops some personnel as they wrap straps around it and they head back into the ship before it takes off with the wraith itself.

Lightning then takes off and flies toward the camp Silver had in the bunker and finds him watching the whole thing. "Care to tell me what's happening and where's Cross?" He asks turning to her.

"He used up all he had left killing those monsters and collapsed." Lightning answers.

Silver sighs. "How long would he be out?"

"I'm unsure, he had been pushed very hard and was injured before they even showed up. I think they were hibernating underground and the dogs digging awoke them." Lightning adds.

Silver nods his head to the one being flown away. "And that one?"

"I can't kill it, don't have the experience or the ammo to kill it. That is why I had to tranquilize it with a poison that could kill nearly anything with a drop." Lightning says.

Silver raises an eyebrow. "Huh, and the dogs?"

"Seem to be holding, if they pressed now they would overwhelm us and kill us." Lightning says.

"Could the overlord have been injured or killed by one of those monsters then?" An older looking griffon with a colonel rank insignia asks.

Lightning shakes her head. "Doubt it, he probably held back or ran off. But that's still a mystery as I haven't seen any lead dog that looks super important. But at this point, I would think he would attack with everything he's got and hope to take out our exhausted and injured self.

"It is unusual." A middle age looking griffon with a captain insignia says walking up.

Lightning tilts her head slightly. "Now these guys show up. Well, what should we do Silver? What crazy plan have you got now?"

"None right now. Our troops are exhausted and we are low on ammo." Silver says.

"Hang on, what's that?" Lightning says, seeing a dog approach under a flag of truce.

Silver looks through a telescope and sees the dog. "A white flag. Looks like the leader wants to talk. Have the ghost team up and running. Fully stocked up on what we have. I don't care if you have to take it from the back, but do it. Don't take from the frontline through. We may need it. Have the frontline also guard the entrances to what we got now and tell them to apprehend any dog, kill if you have no choice." Silver said grabbing his armor and weapons. "Let's go Surge."

Lightning followed along with the two other officers. After a while of walking and passing the now cleared plains, they come across a large camp and sees the dogs looking at them with a steel gaze before they part and let them through and soon was joined by another dog who leads them to a bigger tent and they find the dog they have been looking for sitting on a throne or what could be one, wearing just fancy clothes and no armor.

"General?" Silver asks questionably.

"My people call me overlord." The dog says.

Silver nods. "Overload, why did you call a cease fire when we could destroy each other right now?"

"Because there is no longer any benefit for us to continue this battle, let alone war." The overlord says.

Silver tilts his head. "And you want to end this in a treaty, do you?"

"That or I can order my remaining forces to surge forward and destroy you even if you kill me you still will lose." The overlord says.

Silver sighs. "So just too illiterate, you are open to negotiations and will stop fighting for the time being and will stop fighting if we go through with the treaty?"

"Yes." The overlord says simply.

Silver and others still stare at him. "Okay." Silver said suddenly. "It's a deal. However, we do this on grounds we don't have either control over."

"We will remain here and will wait for your diplomats to come." The overlord says.

Silver growls quietly and sighs. "Fine. Just remember, there will be a lot of guards. Overlord." He said before walking away with the others.

The overlord said nothing before looking to Lightning. "So who was that one who slayed most of those monsters?"

Lightning stops and looks back at him. "That would be my commanding officer, Southern Cross."

"I see. Pass on my thanks, he saved many of my soldiers." The overlord says before leaving.

Lightning looks a little surprised at that before she turns back to the others and kept walking. "So what now?" She asks after they got back to the bunker.

Silver tries to drink. "We have sent a letter to the capital. Though, now we play the waiting game and hope this will end. I, for one, wants it to end."

"A request Lt. Colonel, in private." Lightning says.

Silver nods. "Sure, come on." He said getting up and leading her away from the now cleaned mess hall and into an office. "What's this about? What do you need?" He asks sitting down.

"Since the war is all but over, can you give Knight Major Cross leave?" Lightning asks.

Silver chuckles. "At this point, he might need it. I'll see to it that the paperwork is filled out."

"Thank you." Lightning says.

Silver shrugs. "Anything to help a friend, especially a brother in war."

"You can relax, he was sincere in what he said, but keep on guard for the radicals in both his and our armies." Lightning warns.

Silver nods. "And that's the only thing that really stop this from happening. Well, here's to a successful treaty and end of the war." He said before drinking.

"I would join you, but I must check up on Cross." Lightning says turning to leave.

"You and him are more than just comrades, aren't you?" Silver asks.

Lightning stops and looks at him. "What do you think?" She asks before walking off and only hears his chuckles and ice clinking the glass.

After a while she arrives back at the ship and sees Minerva standing outside the door of the infirmary. "He okay?"

"He is fine, I even fixed up that stab wound. Now help me get him to bed and then you go take a shower, you stink really bad." Minerva says.

Lightning rolls her eyes and they both head inside and grabs Blitz off the table and carry him to his room before setting him down on the bed and Lightning leaves Minerva to take care of Blitz. Lightning sighs as she enters her room and finally takes off her armor and heads for the bathroom. "About time we got a break. This is long overdue." She said to herself, stepping inside the shower.

"So the war is over?" Twilight asks as almost everyone was online with her, waiting to hear what happened.

"Yeah, I think the overlord finally had enough as they were taking such losses without gaining much." Lightning says drying her mane.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "So when are you three coming home?"

"We will be there tomorrow, have to go slow for a while to keep up appearances of this being a giant blimp." Lightning says.

The foals cheer and Blazer smiles. Twilight smiled as she looks down to Arcane. "Guess you are going to finally going to meet your dad tomorrow." She said tickling his stomach, making him laugh.

Fluttershy looks a bit concerned. "What about Blitz, where is he now?"

Lightning sighs. "Still resting a bit. He really worked himself to the bone and left himself injured the whole time. Now Minerva has him healed up, but we're leaving his body to do the sleeping. By the way, Daring, he used a performance enhancement syringe." All the mares saw her twitch at that. "But there was a good reason. If he hadn't done that, I don't think any of us could have survived that onslaught of monsters. He saved us Daring and all he got was a good knockout punch. He'll be fine and just to make sure, Minerva has flushed his system of that thing. He'll be fine, just let him pass on this only." Lightning said, trying to ignore the now slightly mad Daring.

"Let me see what these monsters were." Daring says.

Minerva comes into the call now and giggles a bit. "And I made a cute little video for each. Almost like it's a roll call for each." She as she played them and tries to hold back snickers at the faces everyone makes, expect Lightning. "So? Forgive him now?" She asks after stopping the last video.

"This one time." Daring says.

Lightning sighs. "Good, now then. We also have a visitor coming over. Blitz's squire named Whirlwind. So be nice. Also, when will your introducing Arcane to Celestia be?"

"She is supposed to come tomorrow." Twilight says.

Lightning nods. "We should be there a bit sooner, but we'll try to make getting there our first priority." Twilight nods as Arcane giggles at her. Lightning smiles and waves. "Hi Arcane."

"He is just so excited." Twilight says smiling.

"Oh, by the way, this is the fiefs we are aiming for." Lightning says sending pictures and copies of the documents.

They all soon start looking over all the choices and smile and goes wide eyed at some of them. "We don't have to do it now. We can choose when Blitz is properly woken up and well rested." Lightning said finished up.

"Oh look at the lovely ballroom." Rarity says.

Lightning shakes her head and smiles. "Yes Rarity, you can have dances with him soon enough." She said teasingly. "Now then, I have to rest as well and really get some sleep. If you need anything, ask Minerva. She will take control for the rest of the way. If anything pops up that requires our attention, tell her and she'll get to us." They all nod as they kept looking over the choices and even the foals and Blazer got into it. "Well, night everyone." She said before cutting off her connection.

Twilight looks up for a bit and sees Minerva winking at her. "Night cuties." She said before cutting off as well. Twilight shakes her head as Arcane keeps looking around at the choices.

Spike sighs as he looks to the three fillies sleeping around a bit in his bed as he kept looking over the information as Slender comes up behind him and wraps her hooves around his shoulders. "I think I can take over now. Want to send them back?" She asks him.

Spike nods as he kept looking at them. "Yeah, it's been long enough and you are back now. I kinda get what you planned out for this. You wanted me to keep calm and steady minded. Only those three and you could do it. Well, you did fine on that. Though now, we have to send them back before Twilight and the others start bucking my tail."

Slender giggles. "Or…we could have them stay here for a little while longer. Maybe have some fun."

Spike stares blankly at her. "Slender."

Slender sighs. "Fine, we'll send them back. I'll have that cute pilot fire up a ship since we are so close to Equestria."

Spike smirks. "Except you are still cute to me, same level as the girls here."

Slender giggles. "That's true. I'll get them home now." She said picking them up with her shadow tendrils and placing them on her back. "I'll be back and remember, your test is coming up."

Spike sighs. "How could I forget?"

Blazer yawns as he wakes up and gets out of bed and pokes his head into the hallway. "Mom, is there any chores?" He asks her as Applejack comes out of her room.

Applejack shakes her head. "No, the princess is coming over to Twilight's castle to see your brother. We have a break today. So grab your things and let's grab a bite and head out."

Blazer nods. "Okay mom." He said heading back into his room and grabbing his wrapped swords and puts it onto his back and heads out and grabs an apple off the table in the dining room and gives a wave to Big Mac and Granny Smith before they both head out.

"So daddy is coming home today?" Blazer asks.

Applejack nods. "Yep, Blitz is coming home. Now remember when princess Celestia is there, try to be on your best behavior or at least yourself since Pinkie would just jump in her face. I'm sure she will understand all of you." She said as they reach the castle. "So, have you ever seen the princess?"

Blazer look at her. "Just miss Luna."

Applejack smiles as they enter the castle and sees the others already there. "Hey there guys. Sorry about being late, but I couldn't let this guy look groggy when the princess gets here." She said as Blazer goes up to Azure and let him get on his back.

Applejack then noticed the sour look on Rainbow's face. "Still sore you can't fly huh?" Applejack asks.

Rainbow growls. "Shut up, shut up, shut up."

"Don't worry Dashie, you're in the final stages." Pinkie says cheerfully.

Twilight smiles as she sees the state of Pinkie. "And you are close in front of her since Rainbow was after you."

Pinkie giggles. "Yeah, I'm going to have a bouncing baby foal soon and we're going to have so much fun."

Applejack smiles and wraps a hoof around. "It isn't all fun and games Pinkie. I'm sure you know that."

Pinkie nods. "Yep, foalsitting the cake's foals taught me that."

"My queen, the sun princess is coming." A changeling said from the window before it climbed onto the ceiling.

Twilight takes a breath. "Alright guys. Get ready. Arcane, come here." She said grabbing him and holding him.

Soon the door opens and some solar guards come in and line up on both sides before they see Celestia walk in with a stoic face, yet trying to smile all the while. "Hello my little ponies. How are you this fine day?"

Twilight smiled. "Just fine princess Celestia. Also, Luna is here and will meet you later. For now, you wanted to meet my foal, well, here he is." She said holding up Arcane as he coos at Celestia.

Celestia smiled. "Well I am glad to see you have a healthy unicorn colt. Blitzkrieg must be so proud of his new family."

Twilight nods. "Yes, but he's not a unicorn."

Celestia now looks confused. "Oh, then what is he, as I can see a horn right there?" She asks pointing to the horn.

Twilight turns Arcane around slightly. "Well he's an alicorn. See, wings." She said as his wings flap a little. Celestia still stared at him as Twilight turns him back around and he laughs a bit. "Um….princess Celestia, are you okay?" Twilight asks, seeing the shocked look on her face.

Celestia then starts to frown. "No." She said.

Twilight and the others get confused. "What?"

Celestia points to Arcane. "No, he must not be alive." She stated, making the others gasp or start to frown and slowly move closer around Twilight and Arcane. "He cannot be here nor must he ever. I want him gone!"

Arcane whimpers a bit before starting to cry as Twilight stares at Celestia in shock. "Princess, what…?"

Celestia kept frowning until she hears a hiss and looks up to see dozens of changelings staring at her with malice before they all land onto the ground and surround everyone, protecting them. "You disrespected the prince and our queen." One said.

Celestia looks even madder than before. "So that was the magical explosion. The bug gave you control. No matter, I want him gone." She stated.

The changelings hiss again as they try and back everyone up. Soon the royal guards move to Celestia and moves their weapons ready to attack while the guards that Twilight had move in front of the changelings and point their weapons at them. "Please, don't do this." Twilight whispered.

Celestia growls. "I will say it one last time. That colt is now ban…"

CRASH

All of the occupants in the room were sent to the ground from the force of the crash and they all groan as they all look up and sees the smoke clear to a four prong metal spike. "Wha…?" Applejack tries to ask before the prongs spread themselves outward and revealed a hole which then something jumps out that they could only describe as crawfish creatures with large claws that look metal. "Oh no." Twilight whispered as she pushed Arcane behind her.

The changelings were the first to rise and hiss at the new occupants of the room and they responded in kind by opening their claws and firing laser bolts at the changelings to which they killed a few. Everybody screamed as they all backpedal away.

'Twilight, screech.' Chrysalis said.

"What?" Twilight asks.

'Screech!' Chrysalis yelled.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH

Everybody covers their ears as Twilight opened her mouth wide and screech so loud that the new threat had to cover theirs. Twilight soon stops as everybody puts their hooves, talons, or claws down and look back to where they were looking.

Blazer groans as he puts his talons down and looks down to see his sword bag open and loose. He goes to grab the black one first before the new threat growls at him and points it's claw at him as Blazer holds the sword against him until it fires and Blazer covers himself up, sending the sword out a bit from his swung arm. He waited and waited, but the burn or pain never came. He looks up again and sees the two things growling some more before they both fire again and hits his sword as he covers himself up and sees the shots hitting the sword and actually getting sucked in. "What?" He asks himself taking out the sword now and sees it glowing the same colors at the shots fired at him.

The two things roars now and open both their claws and starts to fire at him as Blazer holds up the blade and absorbs the shots until he smiled. "Cool." He said before thinking and then holds the blade behind him and takes a swipe at them and actually sends an energy cutter through the air and hits the creatures and makes them stop as it went through them. Everyone stops and watches until the two fell apart in half.

Blazer keeps breathing until he looks down and sees the blade glowing a bit before dying down to its usual black sheen. "Huh." He said to himself before grabbing his other sword and taking it out as he then sees more come out and they all aim at him as Blazer holds up the white blade and feels a bit of recoil as each shot sent to him is actually reflected back at them, though it was spread widely and only hit them a few times. Blazer frowns a bit and quickly switches to the black blade and takes some shots before switching back to the white blade and while holding it up as best he can, he swings his blade at them and sends the energy and takes out a few of them, leaving only two again.

The other changelings immediately pounce on them and starts tearing away at their armor and biting into them until they fell. Everyone in the room tries to breathe as they try to understand what just happened. "Blazer, that…was…" Rainbow starts to say.

Blazer stops and turns around to her. "I'm sorry mommy." He pleaded.

"Awesome!" Rainbow finishes.

Blazer blinks as he stood in his pleading stance. "Um….okay."

Applejack smiled as she puts the swords back into their place and quickly puts the straps around him. "You definitely earn these." She said as Arcane and Azure cheers for him as everyone else crowd around him and give him their own thanks.

However, it was soon broken once they realize that Celestia was still there and they look to see her staring at them as the changelings and guards surround them again. "This doesn't change the fact that the colt is banished." She said coldly.

Twilight closes her eyes before glaring at her. "Shut the buck up!" Everyone in the room looks wide eyed at Twilight as she steps forward. "I want you to listen to me good Celestia. I'm the princess of magic, I'm queen of the changelings, I'm married to Blitzkrieg and have a son named Arcane Force who is in fact an alicorn. So if you think you spilt my life apart like that, then you got another thing coming. So if you want to do it, then say it to my face princess!" She yells now up close to her and glaring right in her face.

Celestia stared wide eyed at her as Twilight breathed hard from her rant. "Twilight…" She tries to say.

"Tch." Twilight clicks her tongue and turns around. "Come on guys. Let's go." She said to the others as they all start to walk off.

"Guys! Get the bunkers now!" A voice suddenly came through.

Twilight holds up her leg. "What's going on Minerva?"

Minerva looked frantic as she runs around. "Listen, you got space pirates inbound. The one that hit your castle wasn't the only one. You got to get out now! I'm hurrying the ship over and waking them both up and I'll be with your step in every way. Just run!" Minerva yells as she got close to the screen and then it shuts off.

Twilight stares at where the screen was before putting her leg down and looks to Celestia and her guards as they stare at them. "Next time you mess with my family, you won't get a second chance." She said before turning to the others and Arcane who coos from her back. "Come on guys, let's go. I want all changelings watching us and helping anypony who comes our way as well. That bunker is for everyone, no matter who it is. I also want you two to help Blazer. Those swords may help get us there." She said to two changelings who nod and pick up Blazer. "Blazer, try to hide behind those swords, you are not yet ready to fight head on, but at least you can give some time for us to get through, okay?"

Blitz's eyes suddenly shot open as he awoke. "Aw, good, you're awake. Now then, get your things and suit up. We got trouble." Minerva said through the coms of the ship.

"What is the situation?" Blitz says getting off bed, making the sleeping Lightning fall off.

Minerva suddenly comes in through the door. "Space pirates. They already launched a landing spike to Twilight's castle. I think they took care of it and they are heading towards a bunker. Now they are sending more spikes, dropships and attack ships flying through the air. Mandalore has already been notified and he has an attack plan in place, however, he has left the other things for us to deal with. Now get up." She said leaving before poking her head back in. "Oh and Celestia tried to banish Arcane." She said before really leaving this time.

Lightning groans as she brings her head up. "Suit up?"

"Minerva, add Celestia to the list of things I want to kill most and prepare my Raptor for launch from here." Blitz says.

"Yeah, about that, we didn't receive your Raptor, but we did receive a fighter jet." Minerva says.

"Come again?" Blitz asks.

Minerva giggles nervously. "Yeah, Mandalore had your ship rearmed and changed some vehicles you had in the docking bay when we were attached to the Darkline."

Blitz frowns. "Well why in the bloody hell did he do that?"

Lightning shakes herself before heading for the armory with Blitz following. "I would think he has something for you. Now, you got something for me in the meantime Minerva?"

"He sent you something new." Minerva says.

"If it is a Tomcat or a Super Tomcat or even a Su model it, might not be enough for this." Blitz says.

"So I guess you don't want it then." Minerva said as they almost swear they see a smirk on her as they enter the armory.

"I guess even a Mirage 2000 will do." Blitz says.

"Ew, no. I actually like something different than the standard jets that the enemy uses in those video games." Lightning said getting her armor on. "Maybe a super hornet."

"Hey, the Mirage is a good multi-role fighter for newer pilots to fly. I should know, it was one of the jets they let us fly while in training." Blitz says.

Lightning rolls her eyes as she stayed quiet before they got all their weapons and armor and heads down to the hanger. "So what do we really got down here, because I need something than can turn better if those pirates can almost turn on a bit."

Blitz raises an eyebrow as they stop at the bottom and heads out to find an aircraft Lightning had never seen before in her search through all the files in her studies, in the hangar waiting to launch.

Lightning just steps up to the jet. "Um…what is this?"

"I can't believe it. I thought they were still in the design stage of this. The CFA-44 Nosferatu." Blitz says stunned.

Lightning looks back to him. "So is this yours then?"

"It is now. Mandalore says that this might just give you the edge you need. It is also equipped with the two special secondary weapons that were developed with it and electronic countermeasure pods." Minerva says as Blitz starts to smile.

"Minerva, send him my thanks, but…" He looks to Lightning. "What about her? What do we got for her?"

"Unfortunately, she hasn't trained to fly a jet and we only received the Nosferatu." Minerva says.

"Very well. Love, looks like you are my copilot for this sortie." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Good, I hate to be on the ground again. My hooves are killing me."

"Very well. Minerva, what is our ETA?" Blitz asks.

"Thirty minutes from the shore of Equestria with the Darkstar One with our current fuel being low and the engines running on slow to be able to fly. But if launched from the magnetic catapult, you would make it in five on the Nosferatu." Minerva says.

"It's funny you know." Blitz says.

"What is?" Lightning asks.

"One of my greatest fears in my life has been vampires and now I am about to fly a vampire of the sky. Minerva send out the word, commence operation Dawn Hammer." Blitz orders, his voice going from humorous to serious, walking towards the fighter.

Minerva smiled. "You got, prepping the catapult."

Lightning smiled a little. "You have three wives who are vampires." She reminds as she gets in with Blitz and the jet starts to move.

"One vampire, one hybrid, and one artificial." Blitz corrects placing on the fighter helmet.

"Oh, one last thing, before I launch you two." Minerva says.

They look up as they start to head down on a platform and Lightning puts on her helmet. "What?" They both ask.

Minerva shows them both the emblem on one of the fins of the fighter to see an eagle holding a constellation of stars shaped like a cross in its beak. Blitz chuckles a bit seeing that. "He even branded it with my emblem." Blitz says.

Lighting chuckles as they reach the end and they start to hear some electricity running and a door opening ahead. "Minerva, once you're there, try to get the others and stay low and get out fast as far as you can. I don't anyone hurt in this." Blitz said as he watches the light. "Lightning, you did empty your stomach and everything, right?"

Lightning looks at him. "Of course, it was a rough few days, why?"

Blitz smirks as he puts his visor down. "Cause it's about time for me to fly again. Southern Cross launching." He said before the light changes to green and they were both pressed into their seats as the jet launches away and Minerva just chuckles at their reactions. "Oh, this is one for the scrapbook." She said to herself as she saves the photo.

"Wake up boy!" A voice yelled, making Spike yell out as he fell out of bed.

"What, what's happening, are we under attack?" Spike asks as Slender looks down to his covered self as the bedsheets wouldn't let him go.

"Time for your final exam. Report to the room immediately. If you are late by even a second, it is a failure." Mandalore says.

Spike tries to salute. "Um…yes sir." He said before shoving the blankets off of him as Mandalore runs off. "Looks like we got a big one. Can you head to the observation deck?" He asks as he gathers his things and actually puts on a coat that was given to him as a gift from one of his other commanders.

Slender jumps off the bed and shakes herself. "Do you have to even ask?" She asks gathering him up on her back with her tendril and runs off before dropping him off at her stop and lets him run off to the room as she heads up.

Twilight watched as the guards try to herd all the populace into entrances of the bunker as she saw ships starting to descend.

"We got everypony from the east part of town." Octavia says as a few ships land about a mile outside of town.

Twilight nods. "Good, how far are the west coming along?"

"We left that to Applejack." Octavia says as Azure starts making noises on her back.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, you and Azure head down and take Arcane. I'm going to stay a bit longer." She said taking him off her back and giving Arcane to her.

"Twilight, we got incoming." Octavia says as her eyes widen.

Twilight looks up and sees a wide ship settle almost over the town before it starts to open a hatch under its front end and they see it light up before a loud whistling came from behind them and they quickly look to see a missile fly straight toward the gunship and hits it as it fires off a shot and aims widely to which it hits the nearby mountain before exploding in midair. They soon hear a roaring sound as a jet passes by where the gunship was and flies up before leveling out and circles around the town. As it flies by, Azure is reaching out to it.

"Sorry I'm late for the party." A voice came from their omnitool.

Octavia and Twilight put their hooves up and sees Blitz on the other end, sitting inside something. "Blitz!" They yell.

Lightning leans a bit into view, behind the seat Blitz was in. "Yeah, I'm here too. Just in case anyone was wondering."

Blitz smirks. "Miss me?" He asks cheeky.

Twilight then frowns. "I'm really going to slap you once this is over."

Blitz playfully looks hurt. "Why Twilight, you would hit me after saving you and coming back after such a long time?" He asks, trying to hold back chuckles. Twilight growls a bit as Azure and Arcane cheers at him. Blitz smiles as he sees them. "I'll be there soon as I can you two. Just need to take care of these goons and daddy will be back with you soon. Lightning, you ready?" He asks turning his head to her.

"You know it." Lightning said holding up a hoof.

"Don't start the party without us." A voice said over Blitz's jet radio and they look to see a line of jets coming in from the direction of the base they established a long time ago. "You always kill the fun before we get there."

Blitz laughs out loud as he recognizes the voice and jets. "Oh guys. Where have you been? I just killed one already."

"Told you we shouldn't have stopped for a snack." A female voice said.

"Hey, I was hungry." Another male voice said.

"You're always hungry enough to eat a whole fridge." Another male voice remarked.

"Eh, shut up!" The male said.

Blitz was trying to hold in his laughter now. "Jeez guys, what made you take up comedy?"

"War." They all said as they start to line up and follow Blitz's jet.

Blitz shakes his head as he looks back to Twilight and Octavia. "I'll help finish the fight up here. You guys get to safety. We got this, right?" He asks the new pilots.

"Right!" They responded as the line cuts off from Twilight and Octavia.

Lightning leans in. "Um…who are they?"

Blitz smiled as he turns to one jet. "Razgriz 1, is your X-02 Wyvern flying well?" He asks.

"This is Blaze, she is flying pretty nice for a new gal. Still need to work on the sticky trigger." A male voice said as Lightning sees a man waving at him.

"Roger and it looks like you brought your ball and chain. Razgriz 2, how is yours?" Blitz asks.

"This is Edge. Ready to rock and roll. Though they still need to fix this screen. Come on dammit!" A female voice said as Lightning sees a female pilot hitting her dashboard a bit. "Got it!"

"Roger, Razgriz 3, what's your status?" Blitz asks.

An old chuckle sounds out. "This is Swordsman. Still kicking it. And those idiots forgot some armament in the rush for us to get up. I think mine just has one of them missing."

Blitz shakes his head. "Don't worry about it and take down as many ground targets as you can. After all, you still got your machine guns and your BDSP." He said before turning to another. "Razgriz 4, how about you?"

"This is Archer. Still working like a beauty after being built from so long ago." A male voice said.

"Yeah, you best not insult that model, it shares the name with my copilot." Blitz says.

"Sorry ma'am." He apologized.

"None taken." Lightning said.

"Ok, Demon Lord, did your son Blaze have to dig you up for this?" Blitz jokes.

"Hardy, har, har. Just wait till I beat in the amount of kills Cross. And this is Cipher, signing out till our kill count and when you guys want me to hold your hand." A male voice said.

"Right, right. Anthares 1, how are you and your terminator doing?" Blitz asks.

"Don't make me do a terminator joke. This is Scorpion, ready to strike." A male voice said.

"Right, Mobius 1, how are you and your Su-47 Berkut?" Blitz asks.

"This is Ribbon. Ready to cut them into shreds." A serious male voice call out.

"Right, Gryphus 1 here confirming all things are optimal. You get all that AWACS?" Blitz asks.

"Ghost Eye here, confirming all planes. Be advised that the enemy is landing at two locations on the continent. Most of our ground forces are engaging the other site and ground reinforcements are an hour out from your location."

Blitz smirks as he sees more dropships and attack skiffs coming in. "Then let's get to work. Raise the shield over the continent and charge the hypervelocity gun and start taking pot shots at their spaceships. Don't let them land. Razgriz squadron, you're your own squadron. All others are with me in the other. Assume double echelon formation and take them."

"Roger." They chorused as they move around and then into formation with their squadrons.

"Question though, this seems a little small for an attack force, don't you think? Where's the rest of them?" Blaze asks.

"In space, they were not expecting a defense like this and with the shield, they can't start bombarding us from space and they can't land without risking being destroyed with our hypervelocity gun firing at them." Blitz informs.

Blaze chuckles. "Wonder what defense they are facing against. Is Mandalore taking the chair again?"

"He is amongst the reinforcements coming, but enough talk, starfighters inbound. Let's show them who rules the atmosphere." Blitz says.

"Oorah!" The yelled as they all speed off at high speeds to reach their targets.

"Keep those drones spinning around the ships. Get our dreadnought into there, use the asteroids and get under them. Tell them aim their turrets around a ninety degree angle. Shred them. Get all fighter pilots between them and the planet and hold off the dropships. Do the skiffs if you can. Have the drones fire in a straight line if the ship is pointed at a cruise ship and when you have a clear line of sight. Use the asteroids as help against beam fire." Spike called out to which the commanders on the second level below him filled out and the many pilots on the side of the room ran the small ships as he kept moving the view around to make sure he saw everything.

Slender sighs. "So, they finally came. Never thought they would come here."

Mandalore sighs. "To be honest, they would have come here eventually. This is a mineral rich system and it has the biggest amount of minerals needed to build hyperspace relays and drives. What pirate couldn't pass that up?"

"Really, what is so valuable on the planet?" Slender asks.

"Well, platinum for one." Mandalore says.

Slender nods and looks to Spike as he messes around with the Darkline itself personally. "And maybe gems? They are good focusers for laser systems."

Mandalore nods. "Yes, you can hardly find those on other planets that are right near the surface. One square acre can contain enough gems to build an advance armory, but the element that the populace has yet to discover yet is one of the most valuable resource in the galaxy. This planet is like a gold mine of Element Zero."

Slender tilts her head at that. "The fable element that makes hyperspace and weapons possible? Fascinating, though you may want to speak with the rulers when they ask why they were attacked. I couldn't as I am…well, you know."

Mandalore snorts a puff of air as Spike turns to one of his commanders. "What's the status on the EMP cannon?"

The commander looks it over. "Fine, but they got shields for that. Good enough to take enough shots until we are blown up."

Spike thinks for a few. "Bring up the energy displacement settings on the EMP cannon system."

The commander turns to him. "Sir?"

Spike looks at him sharply. "You heard me."

The commander shakes his head before making a screen pop right in front of Spike and he starts editing it. "You want EMP, you can have it." He said to himself. "Activate the systems for the EMP cannons and send this to all of them." He said as he hits one last button and pushes the screen down.

Mandalore raises an eyebrow. "Changing the settings?"

Slender almost seems to smile. "You ever played a game for so long and then figure, hey, I brought this to have fun, so let's have fun and you start getting into the console system and messing around with the numbers?"

Mandalore looks at her. "Can't say that I have. Never had time to play games, not even card games."

Slender shrugs. "Pity. You missed out on grand ideas. Those who breaks the rules on how it's supposed to play, will make the opponent of the game suffer when played fairly again."

Spike grins as the ship carrying the cannons moves closer to the pirate cruise ship. "Fire the cannon." He said to which the commander hesitated a bit as she saw the shield still up before hitting the button and fires the cannon and sends a beam of energy to the pirate ship and hits the shield. "It soaked it up."

Spike smiled. "That's the plan." He said as the energy starts to look like it was going the opposite way. "Tell them to fire their main laser cannon and hit the ship in front of them. Use the energy for the cannon from the energy they are collecting from the pirate ship and redirect their own energy for the shields."

"Yes sir." The commander said as she smiled at what he was thinking.

They all watch as the ship's shield lit up before their main cannon fired a blue beam at the pirate ship in front of them and hits the shield, but kept going until the pirate's shield died out and the beam went right it, making it start to explode all over.

"Impressive, using an EMP the opposite way." Mandalore remarked.

Slender grins. "Told you. Cheaters in games, can be smart in real life."

Spike nods as he sees another down. "Good, now back off and recuperate." He then turns the view around as he sees the destroyer move along steadily, but not firing as the pirates attack them. "How are we doing?"

"Shields holding, but it will go down soon." A commander of the ship said.

Spike nods. "Tell them to arm everything and have at least seven cannons of any kind aimed at all the ships around it." He said moving his talons around and taking control of the drones. "Tell them to not fire until my signal." The commander nods as all the turrets start to move in the direction they need to be. "Hold." Spike said bringing out a flat map of the area and directs a fleet of drones to the destroyer before sending them into the pirate ships and the drones swarm them, mostly in the places where they view and windows. "Descent and open fire on the belly of the ships." He said before the destroyer descends downward before firing into the ships as the drones fly away before some could be completely destroyed and heads back toward their battle groups. "Nice job. Finish those guys off and get into the midrange fight."

"Sir, fifth of the pirate fleet is decimated." Another commander in front of him said.

Spike smiled. "We are making good time. Keep up the attacks and make sure to holds those dropships and skiffs away from the planet. Don't have the starfighters come back to our positions or they will risk it."

Mandalore watches it carefully. "Not so gung ho now. He's holding the ones that can destroyed by explosions away from the fight. That placement is at least twice the amount between his and the pirate ships."

Slender sighs. "When you present numbers, they use everything they got. When you present real lives, they hang back and think long and hard before taking a jump to where they would have normally just walked slowly though to get there."

Mandalore nods before looking at her carefully. "You seem more knowledgeable then you let on."

Slender keeps still. "I'm over a few thousand years old, of course I would be smart enough for this."

Mandalore nods as he turns his attention back to the fight. "Get those drones back to a clockwise rotation and have them clump together. Send out our EMP again. I want him moving as quickly as he can to the far side. Have the drones start making a circular disc shape between us and them, but only a small area. Give me layers upon layers and have them keep spinning, the next layer in an opposite direction and have them fire in between the gaps they have. Have the Darkline get up behind it, but go silent." Spike orders.

The ship lurches forward as everyone in the room hangs on for a bit before the Darkline starts to move. "You sure it was a good idea having the room connected to the Darkline?" Slender asks.

Mandalore seems to smile a little. "I just thought it would give him more incentive to keep things going."

Slender shakes her head as the Darkline gets behind the drones. "Now have them wrap around us." Spike said before the drones moves slowly around them in a box shape before it trudges along and moves to the pirate ships. "Charge up the laser system. Move all other ships away and have them have their shields at max to whichever is pointed to the pirates. Keep them busy and have the drones still fire. I want my EMP cannon firing and hitting a ship, this time, send another EMP cannon laser to us and have it connect to our cannon collection orb." He said as a large barrel comes out of the top of the Darkline and an orb comes up behind it as it spins freely. "Make sure the ship is behind as soon as it got a connection." He said as the ship fires it cannon and hits the shield of another ship bigger than most and then moves behind them before firing another laser at the orb and it starts to spin widely. "Have all forward shields at maximum using our own energy. Aim the laser at that cruiser." He said as the large barrel moves and aims towards the cruiser in the middle of all the ships. "Are we ready?"

"Yes, the silencer is fully charged." A commander said.

"Fire."

A large red beam fired out of the cannon and heads toward the ship before breaking through its shield easily and then hits the ship before exploding the area in a blinding explosion. As soon as the light died down, there was a few destroyers, some cruisers, a few dreadnoughts, and some carriers. "Take them." Spike said as most of the fleet reengaged again.

Mandalore nods. "I thought that thing would come in handy. Never thought he would use the enemy's shield against them to power the laser."

"What the heck was that thing?" Slender asks as most of the pirates regrouped.

Mandalore smirks. "Our secret weapon can decimate an entire fleet to scrap. At the cost of losing power to your ship since it requires so much power. Of course, our young Lt. Commander has just found an alternative that can be used in more ways than one." He said before turning to an assistant that was nearby. "Have the settings sent to the R&D center. Have them make ones that are specific to it and others that can change between regular and the collection ones as well." He said before turning back to the fight.

"Lt. Commander." Slender asks.

Mandalore smirks. "He has come far, but he would be proclaimed a junior before he could really earn the title. Until then, let's see what can survive this fight."

"Sir! New contact from hyperspace!" A commander called out. They all look and see a larger ship come in out of hyperspace and stops right behind the pirate fleet. "We are reading something that is opening in the back. It contains a lot of energy." He said as they see something dark and with wings heading towards the planet.

"Give me visual from the starfighters." Spike said and a video comes up and they see the object that looks like a dragon with metal parts covering its flesh parts and what looks like energy wings and a long tail whips around behind it and it roars as it flies right past. "Okay, now we are in trouble. How long until the silencer is ready again?"

"Just now, we can use the ship's energy, but we would be blind for a bit." A commander said.

Spike sighs and steps back a bit. "Keep the pirates held back and get me a line to the one in charge on the ground."

A video monitor appeared in front of them. "This is Southern Cross, reporting, what's the problem?"

"Blitz?" Spike asks a bit confused.

"Ah Spike, kind of busy right now. Razgriz squadron, they are trying to set up artillery!" Blitz yells.

Spike shakes his head. "No, this is not a courtesy call. We just had something that looks like a dragon fly down toward the planet and boy does it look mean. I'm not planning to get into that though as I still got what looks like a mother ship here. What do you got as planetary defense?"

"Only a shield and one hypervelocity cannon is all we could make, while keeping it hidden." Blitz says.

Spike nods. "Okay, but I think this thing is too fast. At least the shield will hold up."

"Um…Cross, something just went through the shield and it has a lot of energy." A voice said over Blitz's radio.

Spike facepalms. "Dang it. Well it's flying so you might be able to take it down a notch."

Blitz nods. "Gotcha. I'll see what I can do about it. For now, get that space battle over and done with."

Spike gives him a thumbs up. "Yes sir."

Blitz chuckles as he cuts the line. Spike sighs and turns back to the battle. "Alright, let's deal with this new threat."

Blitz stares ahead and looks at the skiff in front of him before launching a pair of missile at it and it explodes in midair. "You okay back there Lightning?"

Lightning shakes herself before looking to the instruments. "I'm fine. How are we doing?"

Blitz looks around for more targets. "Well, we got a space dragon coming our way and at least the town citizens are safe as well. So then, all we have to do is hold the line and keep those guys away from the citizens."

Lightning leans over. "And the dragon?"

Blitz chuckles nervously. "I haven't got anything yet."

Lightning keeps staring at him. "Blitz." She said accusingly.

Blitz then looks at another skiff flying past. "Oh look, another target, let's have some music for this one." He said messing with his computer on the jet for a bit and plays some music. "Hope this will get some mood up and running." He said as music started up and chases after the skiff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI1CVbW9r6g

Lightning shakes her head as she starts to help him with taking it down the skiff before another call comes through. "Cross here, what's going on?"

"Sir, some of the dropships and skiff are headed up north. Looks like they are trying to find something." Ghost Eye said.

Blitz glares a bit. "Dang it. Squad, report in. We are going for a road trip." He said turning towards that direction as the others catch up with him and then some skiffs follow them.

"Cross, we got company and looks like they want to ruin our road trip." Ribbon said.

Blitz watches the skiffs as it catches up and tries to hit them. "So they want to try that huh? Alright then. Let's try out the first of the special weapons. Lightning, bring up the ADMM." Blitz says.

Lightning hits a few things and leans over. "It's up." She said as another effect appears on Blitz's visor.

"Alright, have a taste of this." Blitz says as several targets were locked onto.

Flaps were opened on the jet above and below it and suddenly, lots of missiles were launched and then heads for the targets before splitting into four more and soon a whole barrage was sent into the skiff who were promptly blown up in a huge cloud of explosions. "Write that down. ADMM works, but need to work on launching." Blitz said to which Lightning puts down before going back to helping him.

"Skiffs are down. Five clicks to target." Cipher said.

"Gryphus 1, we have a reading. More incoming forces inbound to the settlement, Ponyville." Ghost Eye says.

Blitz glances at his hoof as it held the stick. "Blitz." Lightning tries to say. "Blitz." He hears before sighing. "Squad, pull back to the settlement." Blitz says pulling back on the stick.

Lightning looks to him. "Are you okay?"

"Fine and I see a large carrier ahead. Bring both the ADMM and the EML to bare, we will take it down in the first pass. Ghost Eye, keep an eye on that dragon. I want to know exactly where it is going." Blitz instructs.

"Ghost Eye copies, but you have to hurry back. Those forces are closing in faster than normal." Ghost Eye said.

Blitz frowns. "Squad, pick it up." He said speeding up with the others following and then finds the town on the outskirt on fire as some skiffs firebomb them. "Take them out!" He said trying to target them all before firing the ADMM and aiming the EML at the carrier before firing them.

The ships and vehicles hit by the ADMM all explode and the carrier actually jumps in midair before being hit by a few ADMM missiles and then gets sent to the ground before it explodes a bit. Blitz stares at it before seeing more ships fly in from above them and tries to attack them with laser strikes. "Break!" Blitz yells and everyone separates and goes their own way.

Blitz tries to follow the skiffs before noticing that it was a bit faster. "Alright then, Lightning, turn off the assistant system."

Lightning stares at him before flipping a switch and shuts off most of the systems and then quickly brakes and turns so sharp that Lightning was pushed into the side of the cockpit as Blitz was able to quickly target a skiff and fires the EML at it and makes it be torn in half before exploding.

Lightning was marveling at the flying and couldn't believe it, but she was starting to feel a lot of pressure from the flying and was getting a little air sick. She tries calling out to Blitz, but he didn't respond.

Blitz quickly goes up as one skiff follows him before he brakes and turns hard and starts firing the machine gun and then fires the EML and hits it right down the middle and moves the jet off to the side as the skiff starts to fall before exploding in midair and crashes into the ground. "Well, that's that." He said to himself. "Lightning, you okay?" He asks trying to turn his head to her. "Lightning?"

"Blitz?" Lightning tries calling weakly.

Blitz goes wide eye before leveling out and slowing down. "Lightning, squeeze your fore and hindlegs, now!"

Lightning did so and felt a lot of pressure leave her. "What happened?"

Blitz sighs in relief. "You had your blood spread to your fore and hindlegs. With the blood away from your brain and heart, you almost passed out. I guess I shouldn't have flown like that."

"No, keep flying as you wish. Don't let me hold you back." Lightning says as Blitz pulls as maneuver and avoids a few missiles before getting on the starfighters' rear and shooting it with the machine gun till is tears apart and explodes.

Blitz tries to keep level as he kept going. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, in this battlefield you can't afford not to. After all, you're protecting the lives of not only your mother or wives' lives, but the lives of your children's." Lightning says and Blitz felt like something snapped and like restraints were just removed as he turns back to the front his vision seemed clearer than ever as it began to rain.

Lightning sighs as she looks up and sees the rain pelt the glass and start to be pulled away by the speed and wind. "You're right, but you're one of my wives too." Blitz said.

"And I want to protect our children so show me the reason why you are feared as one of the greatest ace fighter pilot of all time." Lightning says.

Blitz sighs and nods. "All right. Let's get this done." He said before rushing off and heads toward the skiffs still there and Lightning turns the switch back on and he starts to aim with the ADMM. "Screw you." He said before launching and hits them, but also hits some of the houses. "I hope they forgive me for that."

Lightning smiled. "Yeah, they would. It isn't the first time houses have been demolished."

Blitz chuckles a bit. "Good, that also means the citizens won't kill me for it." He said before quickly turning around and aims toward the dropship that is slowing down and stopping. He then fires as it starts dropping off pirates before it was hit and exploded in the air and crashes down as some of the pirates ran from it. "Not on my watch." He said to himself as he goes up before coming down and killing them with the machine gun and pelts them with bullets. "Dropship down. How's your end guys?"

"Ribbon here. Going along well. This will definitely be another sticker on my jet." He said.

"Scorpion still stinging everything trying to get me. Hah! Fuck you!" He cheers.

"Cipher racking up that kill count. You ladies better catch up." He taunts.

Lightning smiled as she hears that and looks over to see them going at the pirates very hard. "Ribbon, I don't think your fighter is big enough to carry all those stickers. They got the apple fields, we got the town."

"Burn." Blitz, Scorpion and Cipher said.

"Oh Ribbon, seems Lightning here gave you a compliment." Blitz says eyeing a few pirate tanks.

Ribbon was silent for a moment. "Why do you have to rain on my fun?"

Lightning giggles. "The real rain already has that taken care of." She said making them all laugh as Blitz flies across the ground and swerves one way before firing the machine gun and swerves the other way and hits all the tanks before they all explode and flies up again.

Blitz chuckles as the laughing dies down. "Ah, I love you Lightning." He said trying to find more targets, but barely sees any.

"Love you too." Lightning responds in kind.

"Aw." The others said.

"Ah, shut up you pansies." Blitz said flying the plane around in a circle, keeping an eye out and then calls up some numbers. "Switching to private channel. Girls, you there?"

"Blitz!" They all cheer as they come online.

Blitz smiled to see them all in good shape. "Did you all make it?"

"We are all fine and have been watching the majority of the battle." Spitfire says.

Blitz grins. "So how's my flying now?"

Shadow chuckles. "Give it a few more years."

Blitz gives a hurt look. "Why did you have to do that?"

Shadow giggles. "Cause its fun and I want a laugh, see." She said gesturing to the others who were snickering and giggling.

Blitz sighs. "Hey, where's the young ones?"

Twilight smiled and brings Arcane into view who laughs at him. Octavia giggles and brings Azure into view who cheers at him. Applejack moves slightly to let Blazer see him. "Hi dad." He said waving.

Blitz smiled. "Hi son, I'll be there once this whole thing is over."

Blazer nods. "Got it dad."

Blitz looks at the many screens. "Where's Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo?"

"With Spike on a spaceship." Rarity growled, surprising everypony.

"Geez Rarity, what got your fancy tail in a twist?" Blitz asks.

Rarity still growls. "Just a little thing that starts with Slender."

Blitz shakes his head. "Oh boy, I'll talk to them later, but she wouldn't do that without a good reason. But, we will all sit down after this and talk it over. I'm sure you will get why she did that. Twilight knows and she doesn't even know it."

Twilight looks confused. "Um…what?"

Blitz smiled. "Growth, greed growth. That can remind you of a few things."

Twilight then realizes what he was saying. "Oh, that. Yeah, there is another form of growing. They grow also to protect."

Blitz sighs. "And how are my pregnant mares?"

"I am contemplating snapping off your horn." Rainbow growls.

Blitz grins. "When you use words like that, I know you're fine."

"I want pancakes." Pinkie says.

Blitz laughs. "Now I know you're fine. How's my other mare in there?"

"Wishing we were out there helping and how are you such a good pilot?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz grins. "Lots of training. More than Wonderbolt life."

Spitfire chuckles a bit before saying. "You will pay for that comment."

A beeping sound came from his console. "More so than normal. I kinda wasted some fuel getting here. Sorry, but looks like this thing got part of it." He said moving the jet to the direction of an open field near the apple family's orchard. "Gryphus 1 here, I have to make an emergency landing. Can you guys take care of the rest?"

"This is Cipher, can lead these guys here for you. Good luck Cross."

"Roger that." Blitz says turning off the radio. "Love, engage all terrain landing equipment."

Lightning salutes a bit slow. "Roger that." She said flipping a few switches.

"You know, you're my first copilot I ever had." Blitz says leveling them off.

Lightning looks up a little. "Really?"

"Yeah, only others who have ever flown with me were instructors. For the longest time, I never understood why people flew with copilots. Now, I think I have an idea." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "And what's that?" She asked as he started to hit the ground and roll.

"Someone to manage part of the systems while the other concentrates on flying." Blitz says as they started to slow down.

Lightning sighs as she takes off the helmet and the cockpit opens. "So what are you going to do next time?"

"I think you need a little more training before you fly with me as a copilot again." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and gets out before jumping into the ground. "So never?"

"I didn't say that. So how do you like this vampire of the sky?" Blitz asks.

Lightning giggles. "Needs more sexiness."

"That is why you're here." Blitz jokes.

Lightning nods her head to the jet. "How about some decal, pony style?"

"I think I will change the colors and unfortunately, she might not be able to fly for a while because lack of fuel." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "Walking time." She said starting to walk.

"Let's just watch from here as there aren't many left." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him. "Don't you want to see Arcane and the rest?"

Blitz chuckles. "We would have to cut through the defenses of the bunker first as they won't open the doors yet." Blitz says offering her a seat.

Lightning sits down. "Blitz?"

"Just enjoy the fact we don't have to act like there is nothing between us." Blitz says.

Lightning looks up at him. "Blitz?"

"Yes love?" Blitz asks leaning into her.

Lightning leans a bit closer and takes off her helmet. "Can you…you know?"

"Not right here, but I will soon." Blitz says smiling.

Lightning smiled and nuzzled his head. "I love you."

"I love you too sexy." Blitz says.

"And I love you too lover." Vinyl's voice says from on top of the Nosferatu's wing.

They both look up and sees Vinyl resting on the wing. "Why aren't you at the bunker?" Blitz asks.

"I never went into it." Vinyl says jumping onto him.

Blitz chuckles as he wraps a hoof around her and puts it on her cutie mark, stroking it all the while. "So what have you been doing out here then?"

"Watching, now I don't know about you, but I need to feed." Vinyl says before biting him.

Blitz yelps before staying like that for a few and then sighs and puts a hoof behind her head and leans back. "Sure, go right ahead." He said sarcastically as Lightning leans on him.

They stayed like that for fifteen more minutes until Blitz's communicator started ringing. "Cross here."

"Blitz, its Twilight. Since they are telling us it's over, we are coming out." Twilight said.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Okay, just give me a few more minutes. Vinyl here is taking her mid-morning snack."

"I stopped ten minutes ago." Vinyl says.

Blitz looks at her. "Then why are you eating my emergency snack?"

"Because it is a pretzel covered in cinnamon and sugar." Vinyl says.

Lightning smirks. "I for one want a burger."

"And I for one can't wait to see everypony." Blitz says getting up.

Vinyl shakes herself as she moves against Blitz as they walk. "Nice stallion." She said licking his neck.

"You already drank my blood today." Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles deviously. "Still the foal needs some."

"I know you haven't taught him to go around biting random ponies right?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl raises a hoof to her heart. "Scout's honor."

"You are not a scout. Where's your baseball cap and bat and why haven't you smacked heavy with it yet?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl laughs as she leans against again. "I love ya you stallion."

"I know. I'm awesome." Blitz jokes.

Lightning bumps against him. "Rainbow has that title."

"And I stole it along with her hoof in marriage." Blitz jokes.

Now they both bump against him as they enter town. "Shut up." They both said.

Blitz chuckles as he grabs them both and hugs them tight. "I love you both." He said giving them a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh we want more than that, don't we Lightning?" Vinyl asks.

Lightning nods as she grins. "Oh yeah."

Blitz sighs. "Later. It's been a long day and I need some rest."

"Oh don't worry, we will give you al…" Vinyl was cut off by Blitz's hoof covering her mouth.

Blitz points over to Twilight, Octavia and Applejack with the foals and Blazer on their back. "Later." Blitz says before walking over to them.

Twilight smiles as she stops in front of them. "Hey Blitz, say hello to your new son." She said taking Arcane off her back and giving him to Blitz.

"Hey there Arcane. I'm your father." Blitz says smiling as he holds him.

Arcane coos gently and reaches out for him as he laughs. Blitz smiles as he brings him closer to him. Arcane giggles as he hugs Blitz and nuzzles him.

"Aw." Most of the mares said, but one cleared her throat.

Blitz turns his head to see Rainbow. "Rainbow, my love." Blitz said in a cheery sort of way.

Rainbow glares at him. "You bucking idiot."

"Oh no." Blitz says starting to charge his magic for a spell.

Rainbow walks over to him before hugging him tight. "You idiot."

"Starting to sound like Pinkamena love." Blitz says placing Arcane on her back and hugs her back.

Rainbow nuzzles him. "Love ya."

"I love you too and nice to see you too Pinkamena and that knife won't penetrate my armor." Blitz says.

Pinkamena looks to the knife before placing it in her mane. "You're a bucking idiot."

"See Rainbow, that's her thing." Blitz says.

Rainbow keeps nuzzling him. "And you're still my idiot."

"I say that as well." Pinkamena says dryly.

Applejack chuckles as she walks up. "You wouldn't believe what Blazer here did when they put a spike into the castle."

"Actually I can and know, I installed hidden cameras in the castle." Blitz says before giving her the smile.

Twilight hits his side. "Blitz, invasion of privacy."

"I call it security." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "So you worried about his training now?"

"We have a few more issues before we start and speaking of which, where is Celestia?" Blitz asks bringing out a shotgun and smiles.

They all look at him before pointing. "Town center." They said.

"Excuse me. I have to go give Celestia a live demonstration of this to her face." Blitz says running off.

They watch him as he rushes over there. "Should we stop him?" Octavia asks.

"Yes." Applejack says before lassoing him.

"Hey!" Blitz yelled out as he was dragged back and then lassoed up before being carried.

"Let's go." Applejack said walking to the town's center.

Blitz looks to them. "You're going to let me see her?"

Applejack nods. "You won't rest until then."

"Pinkamena, help me decide which way to kill Celestia horribly. I already have forty seven ideas." Blitz says.

Pinkamena chuckles evilly. "Well there's…cupcakes!" Pinkie cheers.

"We aren't eating her and it's too good for her." Blitz says.

Pinkie looks confused. "No, I mean these." She said taking a box of cupcakes out of her mane and showing it said 'You're a dumbo.' written on them.

"I was thinking more her screaming in agony from pain." Blitz as Applejack still drags him along.

Pinkie giggles. "Silly, the best to make them hurt is by going away." She said before hugging herself. "Being alone, is the worst thing you can feel."

"Pinkie, right here, being dragged away." Blitz reminds.

Pinkie smiled. "I meant her." She said as they approached the town square and sees a crowd of ponies being ushered and quieted by the guards and Celestia. "Luna already caused her pain."

"Applejack, undo the lasso so I don't have to cut it to pieces." Blitz says fully serious as he brings his helmet onto his head. Applejack sighs as she undoes it and lets him walk up. "Celestia!" Blitz yelled as he marched right up to her. A solar guard tries to stop him, but Blitz punches him right in the face and an audible crack was heard, causing all to wince. "You got some explaining to do about banishing my son!"

Celestia tries to stand firm. "He is not supposed to be alive."

"And are you to decide that? Who are you to say my son is not worth life because his mere existence threatens your superiority? Who made you god?" Blitz asks.

Celestia glares at him. "He's male and what he is makes him a threat."

"Very well Celestia. You want it that way, it means war and I will give no quarter to protect my son and I will kill you." Blitz says unsheathing his claws as his intent to kill was starting to be felt.

Celestia's horn flared up. "Fine." She said before shooting a spell beam at him.

"Dad!" Blazer yells as he got in front of him and blocks the spell with the black sword and absorbed the power before she stopped and the sword glowed bright yellow. "You're crazy." Blazer said to him.

"Two things you forget Celestia." Blitz as if spitting her name out of his mouth as if it was poison.

Celestia huffs as Arcane started to crawl to him. "And what is that?"

"First, I am a mandalorian you pick a fight with one of us, you pick a fight with all of us and second." Blitz stops as Celestia fell as she is being choked by a great force. "I'm not squeamish from my time in the flames of war and will literally crush you." Blitz says using telekinesis as he then smashes her against the statue of herself in the center of town.

"Da…" A voice said below him and he looks to see Arcane leaning against his leg and looks up to him, reaching for him.

Blitz uses his magic to bring her at his hooves before glaring down at her. "Know you have made your last mistake Celestia. Your rule is at an end. The only reason I give you your life this time is because I owed you. That debt is paid now." Blitz says before picking up Arcane and walking away with him.

Celestia just stared at them as they all walked away and the citizens started to talk amongst themselves.

"Celestia tried to banish a foal for being born." One mutters.

"Now that's just horrendous." Another said.

"Wait…look at the foal he's carrying." Another said pointing at Blitz and Arcane.

"An alicorn, but I thought that all were female."

"Looks like that the old rule is broken." Another said as they watch them walk away before Blitz stops and whispers something to Blazer who nods and takes out the sword before swinging it into the air and sends the energy away.

"Twilight, it seems what we discussed has come to past." Blitz says.

Twilight snorts. "That's why I told her to shut the buck up. Nopony talks to my family like that."

"Minerva, send word to all our forces. Celestia has declared war on us over my son being born. We will destroy her and the next in line to the throne will claim it." Blitz says.

"Belay that." Twilight said before turning to him. "It's already done." She said before looking back and they see the citizens start to walk away, still talking. "No point in going to war when she has a civil one by talking."

"We only have those of Ponyville on our side. She will lie and manipulate the rest of the country to try and turn them against us. Just like she had her solar guards kidnap and torture ponies." Blitz says.

Twilight stops and turns to him. "Then do it where we are not fighting, but by talking. Word can travel fast if you do the right things before they could."

"True, but there is one thing you are forgetting." Blitz says as a solar guard jumps out of the shadows with a spear in hoof. "Die abomination!" The guard yells before he found himself trapped in Blitz's telekinesis. "Everypony, if you see a foal, cover their eyes." Blitz orders.

The mothers in the crowd covered all the foals' eyes and Arcane, Blazer and Azure were covered too. Seeing this, he kept applying more and more pressure to the telekinesis over the guard's entire body. The guard screamed before they couldn't hear anything as another bubble appeared around him and they just saw a silent scream before blood started to pour from his mouth before his blood shot everywhere and what was now a corpse floated there.

Blitz gives a huff before dropping the now dead body into the bush and covers it up. He then turns back to Celestia. "Now, cover their ears." He said to which the foals now had their ears covered. "Hey Celestia!" He yelled which made her look in his direction. "Fucking buck you, you loser of a princess who also lost her only sister!"

Celestia could only stand still as he huffs before turning back again and takes off his helmet and laughs as he holds up Arcane and nuzzles his head who giggles from the sensations.

"Send everything you have at us Celestia. I will return all that's left in a match box." Blitz says, his eyes now boring into Celestia.

Celestia actually takes a step back and that made everypony talk about it before they take one last look at her and either went home or went back to their day.

Blitz sighs as he looks Twilight. "We're going to need more security and more places to sleep now."

Twilight nods as they came to the castle and finds Luna and Trixie standing at the door way with Luna looking at Blitz.

"Also, I will need to send some of the clan to go and route out all the remaining solar guards." Blitz says.

Luna raises an eyebrow. "So…she finally did it." She stated.

"Yes, so will you be taking the throne or will Twilight?" Blitz asks.

Luna sighs. "I may have to. They will lose trust in her eventually and Twilight is not yet ready. After all, you still are queen." She said winking to Twilight.

"That will be your title once Celestia is officially deposed as you will be the sole ruler." Blitz reminds.

Liam giggles. "Not really, see, Twilight is in fact holding some part, so we are still princesses."

Twilight sighs. "It's true. Celestia was planning on that."

"And you are now a queen. I think that destroys her plans." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles as she sees some changelings. "Only changelings."

"The fact still stands, you can't be a princess and a queen." Blitz says as Azure and Arcane started playing on him.

Twilight shrugs. "We'll out something when that huddle comes. For now, I think our young ones want to play with their dad for a bit." She said smiling as she sees them playing with his mane.

"Indeed, also, we will be expecting guests soon. The other seven who flew with me are old friends." Blitz says.

Luna squeaks a little. "Oh boy, I can't wait to meet off world flyers. I wonder what they will be like."

"Just so you know, one is married to another and there is only one female." Blitz says walking into the crystal castle and starts at the spike lodged into the room through the wall.

Twilight chuckles nervously. "Yeah, we are still working on that." She said as changelings try to get it out. "Which reminds me, what was that screech for?" She asks knocking her head.

'That was a call to all changelings to protect the queen and hive and all who are deemed friends to be kept safe. It was never used in all our lives except for one time and that was the time it was made.' Chrysalis said.

"Rarity, do you mind putting that on the list of improvements to the castle you have been making?" Blitz asks.

Rarity smiled. "Well, this is a time to redecorate." She said looking around.

"Please put it at the top so we don't have to redo any of it?" Blitz asks as Arcane was having a hard time trying to braid his hair as it was very short.

Arcane whines as he finally puts the hair down before moving to his head and doing those or rather trying.

Blitz chuckles as he grabs Arcane. "You're still cute and trying to braid, really?"

Trixie giggles as she walks up to him and shows her mane. "He can really do a good job. He will be the sight of many mares."

"He already as the sight of one unfortunately." Blitz says turning to her. "I'm sorry, I don't think we have been introduced." Blitz says.

Trixie smiled. "The name is Trixie or The Great and Powerful Trixie!" She yelled as fireworks came out from behind her.

"Apple Blitzkrieg or more commonly known as Southern Cross." Blitz says.

Trixie nods. "Pleasure."

"Ah, surprising, usually most ponies have a different reaction." Blitz says.

Trixie giggles nervously. "I can't afford the newspaper that much."

"Ah, I see. So Twi tell you everything including how she and the rest of the girls got me to marry them and how before she knew I was Southern Cross, she had a borderline obsession of me?" Blitz asks.

Trixie looks surprised at Twilight. "You had an obsession?"

"An entire wall dedicated to newspaper articles, pictures and rumors of me." Blitz says smirking.

Twilight blushes. "Shut up."

"Now Twilight, look at Arcane, can you say no to him." Blitz says showing her Arcane with a puppy dog face on.

Twilight tries to looks away, but groans. "Dang you Blitz. Dang you." She said playfully shaking a hoof at him.

Blitz chuckles. "Now Rainbow, Pinkie, why don't you come join us?" Blitz asks.

Both mares move up beside him. "Idiot." They both said.

"Oh look Arcane, messed up hair." Blitz says barely containing his laughter.

Arcane cheers before jumping onto Pinkamena and braiding her mane. "What is he doing?" She asks looking back at him.

"Seems he has picked up braiding hair." Blitz says as Rainbow started to sweat.

Blitz picks him up as he finished the first bit before placing him on Rainbow. "Here you go boy. Braid away." He said before chuckling as Arcane starts to braid Rainbow's mane and she started to shake as she tried to stand still.

"So Pinkie, tell me how long till you and Rainbow go into labor?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie comes back and hugs him. "I don't know. This is even beyond my scope of expertise." She said letting him go and placing some glasses on.

"Pinkie, look, cotton candy. You get it if you tell me." Blitz says levitating the cotton candy just out of her reach.

Pinkie starts salivating before shaking herself and huffs and turns around and crosses her forelegs. "I won't take if it is not raining chocolate milk."

"Oh, oh, what is this? Am I pouring chocolate on top of it now?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie shakes before pouncing on him and slurps it all up. "We're going into labor now."

"What?" Blitz asks a little shell shocked.

Pinkie points to Rainbow who stops and looks under herself before fainting and Arcane cries out and tries to push her up. "See." Pinkie said as Blitz felt some liquid from her before she fainted as well on top of him.

"Twi." Blitz says.

"Already on it." Twilight says as some changelings pick up the mares.

Blitz shakes himself after he got up. "Ready for two more?"

Twilight smiled as they were taken to the infirmary. "Always. They are family."

Blitz nods as they follow them and so does everypony else.

"My king." A changeling hissed as he woke Blitz from his nap.

Blitz groans as he shot up. "Are they okay?"

"Yes, they have also regained consciousness and are now holding their foals." The changeling warrior says.

Blitz quickly rushes in and finds them both laying on their sides as they both smiled at him. "Hey Blitz. Come see your new foals." Rainbow said as they faced each other.

Blitz walks over and Pinkie moves the blanket out of the way to let him see a little red earth filly with her mother's pink mane and tail drinking her milk. "This is Sunshine Smile."

Rainbow chuckles a little as she moves her out of the way to let him see two bundles against her. "Say hello to Lightning Blast." She said pointing to the light blue unicorn colt with Blitz's mane color sleeping soundly. "And this is Rainbow Spectrum." She said pointing to the little light purple pegasus filly with half of her mother's mane colors. "Twins, I can't believe it. I was carrying twins."

"Mom!" Blitz calls.

Mary suddenly barges in and actually comes over so fast, she creates a smoke trail. "Oh boy, I can't believe this. Where are they?" She asks looking around.

"In their mother's hooves and I was going to ask if you can add another set of foal supplies." Blitz asks.

Mary grins. "Of course I will. They're my grandfoals."

"Sunshine Smile, Lightning Blast, and Rainbow Spectrum." Blitz says.

Mary laughs and hugs him. "Oh Blitzy. You certainly can make a mother and a wife happy."

"Yes, now I want an up close look at them." Blitz says.

Rainbow and Pinkie smile as he sits down and lets them see the foals. "My foals, my family." He said looking closely at Lightning and Rainbow before looking to Sunshine who was now looking at him with sleepy eyes before closing them and snores actually with a giggle in between. "Wow. She is a lot like her mother."

"Which one?" Pinkamena asks.

Blitz smiles and kisses her head. "Both of them. I love you both. So?" Blitz asks raising his eyebrows.

Pinkamena sighs. "Idiot." She said smiling now.

"So should I wear my armor for when I see your sis…?" Blitz was cut off when the door opens and in walks Maud.

"So, where's the foal?" Maud asks in the same tone she always had.

Blitz points to the foal in Pinkamena's hooves. Maud walks over and pets the sleeping head of the foal gently. "She's beautiful. You did a good job Pinkie."

Blitz, seeming this, tries to sneak away. "Where are you going? At least sleep the night." Rainbow said, noticing him.

"She will kill me." Blitz mouths to her before a knife imbedded itself, not an inch from the right side of his head.

Pinkamena puts her hoof down. "Blitz, go away. You can stay with them the next night." She said before putting her head down and starting to close her eyes.

"Yes ma'am." Blitz says the color draining from his face as Maud grabbed his hoof.

Maud stares at him. "Stay, the foals needs you also. I'll make sure she doesn't do anything."

"Ok. Truth be told, more scared of you than her." Blitz says.

Maud moves him over and has him sit down. "She doesn't say it, but she needs you. So be there for her."

"Ok…so going to inform the rest of your family?" Blitz asks.

Maud nods. "Have to. They always have to know how their daughter is doing."

"So you also going to inform them that Celestia declared war on the family to banish Arcane?" Blitz asks.

Maud nods. "Yes, I have to also inform them of that. Are you going to kill her?"

"She tries anything again. I will make an example out of her. Nothing threatens my family and lives." Blitz says.

Maud now smiled. "Just don't kill her. Then you would be seen as a tyrant yourself. After all, everypony as different views and they would see their own way."

"I really don't care how others see me, besides I owe her. She had Shadow tortured along with the other Shadowbolts. She is raking up a huge debt with me and I will collect at this rate." Blitz says.

"Maybe you are good enough for her." Maud says.

"Thanks." Blitz says.

Maud sighs. "I better get the message sent. I'll come back in the morning." She said before walking away as Rainbow smiled at him.

"Love your new life?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz sighs as he puts his head back against the chair. "Yep, with all of you and my foals here."

Rainbow nods and puts her head down. "Good. Night."

Blitz smiled. "Night."

"Cross, come in, Cross, this is Ghost Eye."

"This is Cross, what is it?" Blitz says.

"We got the location of the dragon who we have identified as Ridley. Upon doing a subterranean scan, we found a base filled with space pirates." Ghost Eye says.

"Roger that." Blitz says seriously.

"Also, there will be something there to guide you and no, it's not Mandalore." Ghost Eye said.

Blitz gets curious. "And who's that?"

"Someone named Spike."

"I see, the young soon to be Lt. Commander. Unfortunately, my fighter is currently out of fuel and the Darkstar is also running on fumes." Blitz says.

"The Lt. Commander saw that. He asked for Mandalore to give you some help. Something about Zoids." Ghost Eye said.

"Ghost Eye, repeat that. Did you just say Zoids?" Blitz says as Rainbow sees him with a huge smile and shivering every so often.

"Repeat, he is sending Zoids. Apparently the Lt. Commander wants a ground assault." Ghost Eye said.

"Tell the Commander roger that and I will assume command when I arrive." Blitz says.

"Ghost Eye copies. Will pass the message."

Blitz drops his hoof before actually giggling and jumping in place. "Oh boy, oh boy."

Rainbow smiled. "Great, we got a big foal as well." She jokes, petting Spectrum's mane.

Blitz stops in mid-step. "Oh, sorry." He said quickly placing a hoof behind his head and trying to look innocent.

"Oh how adorable." Pinkamena says smirking at him.

Blitz still was chuckling before he hears the foals yawn and wake up. He smiled and walks to them and nuzzles them as they all look at him. "Hey there, I'm your dad."

"So the Space Pirates have a base on the planet?" Pinkamena asks.

Blitz sighs and gently pets the foals' head. "Unfortunately. I now have to go and deal with it. Get them off at least so we don't have to worry about it."

"How long has it been there?" Rainbow asks.

"Well, I would say being so secret, it had to have been made y…" Blitz stops as his eyes shot wide open in realization.

They both look at him. "What?" Pinkamena asks.

"Something just clicked." Blitz says seriously.

Rainbow sits up a bit. "And what is that?"

"I always wondered why those bounties ran here. Now it makes sense. They were seeking asylum in the space pirates' base." Blitz says before turning on his communicator. "Girls, can you come here and someone get the maps and files label B.C. in my room?" Blitz asks.

"I'm closest, I'll get it." Shadow said before every other mare responded with something else random.

"Daring, bring a map of where we first met as well." Blitz says.

"Sure thing. I think I got it somewhere here." Daring said.

"Blitz what's all of this about?" Rainbow asks.

"It's all a little too convenient now that I think of it." Blitz says.

Pinkamena sits up as well. "What do you mean?"

Blitz sighs. "You know the original reason I came here?"

"Chasing bounties." Pinkie says as she rolls around with her daughter a bit.

Blitz nods. "Yeah, those guys were probably not coming here to cause more mayhem, but hiding. Hiding from something possibly badder than me."

"Or working for." Shadow says walking in.

Blitz nods and takes the files from her. "That too." He said taking them out and putting them down on a table before setting up a huge map of Equestria and starts pinning pictures of each of the bounties.

"What are you looking for?" Daring ask.

"Ah Daring, can you show me right where that space ship was located in the valley?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods and points to a canyon. "Right here."

"Calculating the location and position, I would say the course was like this." Blitz says running a simulation on his communicator. "Which means the ship was damaged before entering the atmosphere."

Daring looks to him. "And you think the one who hired them is the one who wanted them to keep quiet?"

"I can't say because with the discovery of the pirate base, it's impossible to tell and now take a look at each location of the bounties. Why would they be so spread out?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks at it carefully. "Guess it would be for running away."

"Or the escape pods ejecting at certain angles." Blitz says.

The two mares walk up beside him. "So what are you going to do?" Shadow asks.

"I think the terrorist and the pirates are connected somehow." Blitz says staring at it.

Daring nods. "And what are you going to do?"

"Look into this more for starters." Blitz says. "Minerva, get me a status report on all these bounties." Blitz says.

"Checking their tags." Minerva said. "Status: Dead. Sorry Blitz."

"No, that confirms it someone wanted them silenced with their capture." Blitz says.

Rainbow now fully sits up. "Then this is a problem. How long would this be?"

"Judging by their time off deaths, they seem at random, but take everything else into account and they stop looking that way." Blitz says.

Daring turns him around slightly. "Blitz, what are you going to do in the meantime?"

"Well, I think I will go and conquer a pirate base for starters. Maybe it will give a few more hints." Blitz says.

Shadow leans against him. "Then you better go and deal with it as soon as possible."

"Can't, they are delivering something to him." Pinkie says walking over with her daughter in her hair.

Blitz looks to her. "You shouldn't be out of bed. And yes, they are getting a new ride for me. A type of vehicle I love."

"Which means…" Daring says with a look in her eye that Shadow shared.

Blitz grins. "Yep, I'm getting a bad flank vehicle. Possibly cooler than the jet."

"I'll take the right, you take that left." Shadow says.

Both Daring and Shadow moves beside him and nuzzles against his body. "How about now?" Shadow asks.

"He has requested. To his room." Daring says before winking at Rainbow and Pinkie.

They both drag him off before they get stopped by Lightning at the door. "He promised me when we got back." She said pulling him by the collar. "Come on honey." She said dragging him along.

"He didn't say we couldn't join in." Daring says following.

Blitz just sweats a little. "Oh boy. Can't I have a say in some of this stuff?"

Shadow grins before stopping. "Um…actually, can I have him alone? It's personal."

Lightning looks at her in silence for a bit. "Ok, go and try and make a foal."

Shadow smiles before taking Blitz's hoof and leads him off before taking him to a room that Twilight setup for each of them. She sighs as she closes the door behind them and just stares at the door. "You know why I'm doing this, right?"

"Yes, I do." Blitz says before kissing her.

Spike sighs as he looks on to the aftermath of the battle. After all the scrap and explosions settled. Only the mothership, which got away, and a few cruisers were left behind which are now being boarded. "Overall numbers?" He asks the commanders.

"Ninety percent still combat operative." A communication officer reports.

Spike sighs as he brings it all on screen. "And our ten percent, what did we lose?" The officer sends him a report on it. "Damn it." He said to himself as he saw that most of it was drones, but the rest of them were the starfighters.

"The enemy also sacrificed several of its ships to land some planetside." Mandalore says.

Spike sighs. "Does it matter when you lose of your own, when you know you could have gotten them out? They did it intentionally."

"That's the life of military and pirates." Mandalore says.

Spike looks back at him. "I get why most do it, but why do those who don't really have a reason fight?"

"They have reasons." Mandalore says walking away.

Spike still stared at the numbers as Slender walks up behind him and puts her hooves around him. "You okay?"

"No." Spike says.

Slender looks up as well. "Then what are you now?"

"I'm…" Spike starts.

"The transport to the planet is ready." An officer says.

Spike nods and moves away. "Let's go. We worried them long enough." He said walking away.

"Spike." Slender says.

"So was it worth the wait?" Blitz asks.

Lightning nods as she slept on his chest with Daring. "Yeah, is Shadow fine?"

Blitz nods and nuzzles them. "Yeah, she's fine now. Really loved it too."

Lightning looks over to the cloud bed now far away and sees her sleeping on it with a huge smile.

Blitz sighs as he lays back. "So, now that I have dealt with you, can you tell me the order of you girls?"

"No." Lightning says bluntly.

Blitz frowns playfully. "Now you girls are no fun."

"Except we were playing with you for a long time and you were loving it." Daring said looking up at him.

Blitz chuckles as he sits up now. "Yeah, at least I got you all."

Daring gets out of bed and shakes herself. "So who wants breakfast?"

"Mine just got up." Blitz jokes.

Daring chuckles as she shakes her flank at him. "Really, you want a piece of me?"

"No, I want the whole thing. Oh wait, I already got it." Blitz jokes.

The mares laugh as they hear a groan. "If it is not really breakfast, then shut up. I like to sleep because my legs hurt. Ow." Shadow said raising her head slightly.

Blitz walks over and smiles at her. "Hey love." He says at eye level.

Shadow smiled at him before giving him a kiss on the nose. "Hey, thanks for using that suit again and for…you know."

Blitz nods and nuzzles her nose with his. "I know. Want to travel on my back until we get to the dining hall?"

Shadow nods before slowly getting off and getting onto his back. "Onward." She said pointing forward.

"Ok." Blitz says walking forward feeling Shadow wrap her tail around his.

Lightning and Daring smiled as they follow them and found the rest of the mares eating way, especially with the new foals. "Hey guys, how are they?" Blitz asks, setting Shadow into a seat.

"There you are." Octavia says cleaning Azure's face.

Blitz chuckles as he sat down near Twilight and some changelings gives some of the food to him. "Thanks." He said before turning back to them. "Well, we might get three more soon enough."

"I wonder where you went." Applejack says rubbing against him.

Blitz smiled and looks to her. "Missed me last night?"

"What do y'all think?" Applejack says.

Twilight giggles as she wraps a wing around him and Arcane jumps onto his back before going onto Applejack's and started to do her mane. "I think we all miss you. Now eat and Applejack, do you like braids in your mane?" She asks while holding some food up to Blitz by magic.

"Arcane has tired, but my mane is just too short for him." Blitz says smirking.

Applejack frowns a bit before looking back at him and seeing Arcane finished up a braid before moving on to another batch. "Well, I could get used to it." She said now looking carefully at the braid. "Even knows how to tie it without bands too."

"Oh, I have an idea." Blitz says bring out his desperado hat and putting it on Arcane. Arcane coos as he moves it out of his view. Blitz then uses his magic to shrink the hat to where it gets his size. Arcane laughs and claps his hooves as he looks at it.

"I think he likes it." Blitz says.

Applejack chuckles. "Yeah, but would you send him to the farm for work?"

Blitz smiled as he sees Arcane returning to braiding her mane. "Soon, just give it time."

Twilight sighs as she leans back in her seat as everyone else still eats. "Blitz, have you seen Spike? As for that matter, where's our little fillies that usually cause trouble?"

"Spike, I can tell you. As for the CMC. I have been out of the loop too long. Spike is being trained to be a commander." Blitz says.

They all stop and look at him. "Excuse me?" Twilight asks.

"Not my idea. Mandalore saw potential and had him trained." Blitz says.

Twilight now look at him carefully. "And he just went with it?"

"Best ask him, he is coming down to the planet." Blitz says petting Twilight's mane.

Twilight purrs before slapping his hoof away. "Dang it Blitz."

Blitz chuckles as he keeps eating. "Too cute, as always. At least we are back again. Though I will warn you all, I'm going to deal with a base soon. I still got a few days before that though. So I'm spending it with family here, especially my kids." He said looking to them all.

"And at night, you are all ours." Shadow says.

Blitz grins. "Yeah, though give me a break here. I just dealt with three of you."

"Nope." Applejack says.

Blitz sighs. "Dang it. Then could you go easy?"

All the mares lean in. "What do you think?" They all ask.

Blitz groans. "I see sore areas in my future."

Pinkie bounces over with Sunshine laughing in her mane. "And showers."

Blitz groans. "Please give me something to steer it away."

"Hey girls." Spike said walking in with Slender.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Thank you."

"You!" Rarity yells at Slender.

"Oh no." Blitz corrects himself and Rarity started throwing things.

Slender just stood still as her tendrils grab every single thing. "Is this about your sister?"

"You dang right it is." Rarity yells throwing a chair now. "Where are they?"

Spike sighs. "They should be here in a moment. Now can everyone just be quiet for a minute. I just came by to grab some food and head for my room." He said grabbing some food.

"Spike." Twilight says hugging him.

Spike barely reacts, but leans into the hug. "Hey Twi. Sorry for going away without telling."

"We will talk about that later. Arcane." Twilight calls.

Arcane looks up and then cheers before jumping off Applejack's back and running to him before stopping and looks up at him and coos at him.

Spike smiles and pets him. "Hey, guess I'm sort of the uncle or big brother."

"Big brother." Twilight clarifies.

Spike sighs. "Yeah, guess I am."

"Rarity, put down the machete!" Blitz calls.

Slender just stands there as she cuts the tendrils. "That doesn't hurt you know."

"I will kill you for foalnapping my little sister." Rarity says before Blitz restrains her.

Slender looks carefully at her. "I called them for help. For Spikey Wikey over there." She said pointing to him, now playing a bit with Arcane and the others.

"Rarity, calm down, we have to find them first." Blitz says as Rarity throws the machete at Slender's head.

Slender just moves her head to the side. "After all, don't you also care about Spike? You don't want to see him down and out forever?"

"I will kill you." Rarity growls.

Slender nods. "I see, so you don't care about him. Alright then, Sweetie Belle, what do you think?" She asks to the door.

"I think sister is right now, very hysterical. You sure she isn't pregnant?" Sweetie Belle asks walking in with the others.

Slender chuckles. "Trust me. She doesn't have the anger of a real pregnant mare. That was more like sister rage."

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity yells as Blitz let's go of her and she hugs Sweetie Belle tight. "Oh, I was so worried. She didn't do anything to you, did she? Quick, show me where she touched you." She says looking her over.

Sweetie Belle pushes her away. "No, she didn't do anything. She merely asked for us to help Spike and we agreed."

"Apple Bloom, I hope you're ready to get grounded." Applejack says.

Apple Bloom just huffs. "For what, helping a friend?"

"For running off from yer home for months and worrying everypony." Applejack says.

"That is right. You will be grounded as well Sweetie Belle." Rarity says.

Both of them just look at each before looking to them. "If it was for Spike, fine." Apple Bloom said.

Both mares just stared at them. "Why would you say that?" Applejack asks.

Scootaloo shakes herself a bit. "Because Spike was feeling down after he realize that some of the training was real and he almost lost real lives. Slender knew she couldn't do it on her own so she called us and boy were they really messing with him. He almost had an emotional breakdown, three times. Probably would have if it wasn't for us."

"The facts still remain, you ran off with no word and left us worrying about you." Both say sternly.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both hold out their hooves. "If it's for Spike, we'll do it." Sweetie Belle said.

"I say a month is sufficient, don't you think?" Rarity asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "Oh heck no. They left for months on end. Might as well give them the same time."

"Two months?" Rarity asks as Spike had finished playing and was leaving with the food.

Applejack taps her chin. "I'm thinking two and a half." She said as Spike puts something into each of the fillies' manes before leaving, with Slender now playing with the foals.

"Seems a little bit excessive." Rarity says.

Applejack huffs. "I think it's just right and how about some free labor? Work at the farm with no pay also to go along with it. Which means no allowances." She suggested as all three fillies look through their mane and pull out something to see a note and smiled at it before putting it back.

"Can't, need Sweetie Belle's help at my shop and we can't speak for Scootaloo." Rarity says.

"I'll take care of it and for her, no flying around the same amount of time." Rainbow said.

"Weee." Pinkie says rolling around with her daughter, getting confused looks from the CMC.

"Why is Pinkie foalsitting?" Scootaloo asks.

Rainbow waves her off. "So, two or two and a half?"

"Two." Rarity says.

"I say two and a half." Applejack argues.

"How about you both be quiet." Blitz said behind them. Both eeped. "As for your earlier question Scoots that is Sunshine Smile, her daughter."

All three looked surprised at that. "She…had a daughter?" Sweetie Belle asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep and Rainbow here got twins. Lightning Storm and Rainbow Spectrum." He said before turning to the two mares. "And Slender was right. Spike is still fragile and she alone can't keep him in shape if he finds out he killed some troops and he realizes he could have done something about it. If they didn't go, we would be seeing him in a psychiatric hospital. Now, if they told you, would you have let them go?"

"No, they still need to be punished for their actions." Both says

"You know, both of you sound like mothers now." Blitz says.

They both blush. "Still punished." Rarity said.

Blitz nods. "Two months Applejack, at most." Blitz says. Applejack growls a bit. "And they are still allowed to see Spike half the time. He's bonded with them in a dragon sort of way. Keep him away and he would do anything to see them. I mean, look at the notes in their mane." He said to which both mares look through their sister's mane and finds notes in there.

Applejack opens it. "What is…oh, if you get grounded, I'll try and see you if I can figure out the schedule." She reads before taking out a small picture. "And this picture has them on a ship with Spike and Slender and they're…happy." She said noting the smiles.

Blitz sighs in a bit of relief. "See, now then, go see Twi on how dragons are in this stage. I think we should all hear it."

Rarity clicks her tongue. "Please, he's with her and…"

"Quiet." Blitz said suddenly.

Rarity recoils back. "Blitz, wha…"

Blitz stares at her. "I can't have hatred like this. Besides, taking care of family is worth the pain sometimes. Right girls?" He asks the CMC.

"Right." They chorused before being pounced on by the foals and laughs from their attempts to beat them.

"Now for your first punishment, you can paint the new fence outside." Blitz says.

Twilight gets confused. "When did we get a fence?"

Blitz smirks. "When Daring wanted to try the Equestrian dream. By the way, how's the setup for the lake house?" He asks her.

"It's renovated." Daring says.

Blitz chuckles. "How about when I finish dealing with this base, we all head there? Just all of us and just relax from all this?"

"After you deal with Celestia?" Daring asks.

Blitz holds the hoof in the air. "After I deal with her. No doubt she would sending guards there which means I have to send some of ours there."

"Tell me where it is and I will." Twilight said.

Daring smiled. "Just don't have them touching my new electronic toys."

Blitz looks to her. "You renovated it with new tech?"

Daring smirks. "The whole nine yards. Equestrian and your mandalorians."

Blitz stares at her. "You made them had a movie network installed, right?"

Daring chuckles. "What fun would it be without movie night? Now then, what are we doing today?"

"Having fun." Blitz says smirking as Applejack and Rarity escort the CMC outside.

Twilight smiled. "Oh boy, better place multiple changelings on guard. How about our new playground in the back?"

Blitz looks to her now. "Okay, what other buildings and projects did I miss?"

"We will show you." Rainbow says as she smiled at her foals who just woke up.

Blitz smiled before seeing everypony getting up and most of the mares then go over to him before lifting him onto their back. "Um…?"

"You worked enough." They said heading outside.

Blitz sighs as he opens his eyes and sees the troops being lead down from the ship. "Spike, where's our rides?" He asks as he gets up and moves over to them on the makeshift base.

"Should be there in a few. I still need a few things from that base, remember that." Spike said as he watches from a mobile, yet very small simulation center.

"I'm more interested in that Zoid Mandalore sent and…ah, Gustav." Blitz says as few Gustav pulling carts with tarps over them.

Spike sighs. "Hope you like the new presents. I think yours should be in front. I'll tell ya, he's…something."

"Ah, so you have seen the Zoids then?" Blitz asks as Twilight walks up.

"How could I have not? After seeing them on camera on the Darkline, he actually asked if I wanted to see them. Faced your favorite one too. Got something crazy in him." Spike said as he watches him on the cameras from the base.

Blitz slowly turns his head. "What did you just say?" Blitz asks.

Spike was about to respond when he remember what Mandalore told him. "Don't tell Blitzkrieg, I am sending him his Genosaurer. I want it to be a surprise." Spike sighs. "Actually why don't pull the tarp yourself?" He asks him.

"I see." Blitz says before turning to Twilight. "Love, how did your brother and your parents take Celestia's actions against our son?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Well, my BBBFF is thinking of giving a stern talking to her along with my sister in law. And my parents, they decided to come to the castle to watch over him at any time since any guard might attack."

"That is why I'm letting Terran stay with him." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled. "You think Arcane would like him?"

Blitz chuckles. "Terran always take care of family."

"And the fact Arcane is riding on his back as we speak." Spike says.

"How do you know that?" They both ask.

"Remember the cameras Blitz installed in the castle?" Spike asks.

Twilight looks at Blitz. "You think we should limit his access to systems?"

"Already done." Blitz says.

"Sorry Blitz, secondary." Spike said. "Besides, how else would I know if Celestia comes in? You might be busy at one point."

"Oh, didn't you see already?" Blitz asks.

"See what?" Spike asks.

Blitz shows them a video of a solar guard trying to sneak in, unfortunately, he was vaporized.

"What did you set them to and by that I mean tags?" Spike asks.

"Oh, I have all the records of the solar guards, even the unofficial ones and I set the defense system to vap." Blitz says.

"So kill?" Spike asks.

"Yeah." Blitz says.

Twilight looks at him carefully. "You know, this isn't helping our case."

"Neither is Celestia sending her guards to kill Arcane." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "At least stun them. Set them straight."

"Yeah not really an option with quite a few. Turns out Celestia likes brainwashed obedient pawns." Blitz says showing her some papers recorded with his communicator.

Twilight sighs as she looks at them. "Guess she is going off the deep end. You really intend to take her off the throne?"

"She has been doing this a hundred years if not longer according to this and yes or we may eventually have another ruler like Sombra was." Blitz says. Twilight was about to rebuke that, but recalls Celestia used dark magic in front of her in the past. "Yes?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "At least he turned out to be good. I just hope Celestia follows his example."

"Well he didn't rule long before Celestia and Luna invaded the crystal empire and conquered." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and looks over to the tarps. "You better go and finish this up. I'm hoping to at least stay by you as we watch something." She said as she starts to lean against him and nuzzles him.

"And this is where I get off until you get going." Spike said.

"Alright, get the tarps off the Zoids." Blitz orders.

The troops starts pulling off the tarps and Blitz stops at the one in front. "Is that…Genosaurer?"

"He was right. You would like it." Spike said.

Twilight looks to Blitz, but founds him gone and looks back to see Blitz hugging the Genosaurer. Twilight just stares at him before stifling a giggle with her hoof. "Spike, is he that much in love with it?" Twilight asks Spike.

"Apparently it is the third member of his team and he, while piloting it, conquered a planet." Spike says.

Twilight still tries to stifle a giggle as he starts to nuzzle it and the Genosaurer just looks down at him. "Does it say how much he likes that thing?"

"Well he must have really bonded." Spike says.

Blitz chuckles as he lets go of the hug and looks up to the Genosaurer. "You ready to being mayhem once again?" The Genosaurer just roars into the air before it bends down a little for him to get on. "Oh yeah, now things are fun." Blitz says getting in.

Spike chuckles. "Okay, the base should be ahead about a few miles. Careful though, apparently there are some patrols and you are already going." He said seeing them all run off now with Twilight waving at them. "I suppose I should mention the electrical field on the ground and turrets scattered throughout the base. Then there's that dragon. Oh well, he and that thing can handle it." He said to himself, shrugging.

Blitz cheers as he finally gets the feeling back. "It feels so good to be back in you again. And about to fuck things up again too." Blitz says before turrets raised with the space pirate's armored vehicles. Blitz turns serious. "Alright, let's destroy them completely." Blitz says as the Genosaurer stops and anchors itself to the ground.

Everyone else and their Zoids did their part at keeping them at bay before the Genosaurer has the cannon on its back light up before recoiling back a little as it sent off a charged particle beam from its mouth and all the things got caught in it were obliterated, while all the things near them either melted or were burned into ash in moments.

Blitz smirks as the beam dies down and he unanchors him out of the ground. "Just like the old days. Let's give that a break and see if everything else works." He as the Genosaurer roars before starting to fire from the laser on its back.

Spike smiled as he watched the whole thing. "So…how are you doing?"

Blitz smiled. "Like I'm back in the old days. At least this time, I'm really doing some damage." He said before a shield made of hexagonal pieces came up around the main base. "Okay, that can hinder it."

"Unless I shoot at the underground generator." Blitz says before starting to scan as the other zoids catch up and the rest of the forces start bombarding the shield with fire.

Spike sighs. "I would think they would be smart enough to have it inside the shield at least. Have it outside and well…even the worst bad guy would know not to do that."

"Something like this require huge amounts of power and a power generator that size can be very unstable so they would require many smaller generators to power the shield without fear of a meltdown." Blitz says.

"And how far are you?" Spike asks.

"The shield is just on top of the mountain and most likely doesn't go beneath the ground. So have three options, one, we keep up the assault until the shield collapses which could take months. Two, we tunnel beneath the shield and attack them or three, we find and destroy the power generator or the shield generator and take it out of commission." Blitz says.

Spike nods. "Then take it out. Though we need to find it first."

"Which is why I am scanning instead firing again." Blitz says.

"And?" Spike asks.

"Got one, the other is on the other side of the base." Blitz said sending the data. "I got the one here. Direct the ships to take out the other for me."

"Sure." Spike said as some of the ships above start to move away.

"Geno, let's melt our way to it." Blitz says starting to fire the lasers on the back of the Genosaurer's back.

Genosaurer roars and charges at the pirates as they personally come out and try to deal with them with flying units too. Genosaurer aims it's back to them before looking around and ends up on the generator and while the laser fire it. The armor either started to melt from the assault or it started to buckle under the assault as the Genosaurer started to first use the gun on its head at any enemy that came into view and clenches its claws grabbing a tank and cutting through it with the claw.

Blitz then sees a panel fall and sees a round machine with an orange pylon on top, sending electricity through it and sending it to the shield through a lightning strike each time it looks like the shield starts to fall. "Take it out." Blitz said to which the Genosaurer roars and spins, aiming to destroy it with a tail whip.

The generator gets hit and starts to spark from the dented area before the lights on it die down and the pylon goes from its orange color to the same color at its body as the shield starts to look like it's dimming out. "First one out. How's your end?" Blitz asks.

"Well, we were able to unveil it before our fighters got shot out of the sky by some air turrets. Either you deal with it on your own or take out the turrets and then you can head over to the entrance of the base and let the new fighters take out the generator." Spike said.

"Give me the coordinates." Blitz says.

Spike sighs. "Sending. Go deal with it, but careful. With the fighters out of the sky and I had to pull them back, they might turn to you."

"Let them if they have a death wish." Blitz says.

"Your wish." Spike said as the generator spot came online.

Blitz launches the Genosaurer's claw which tears through a pillar of stone as those trying to hide behind it to ambush them and they scream as they were either crushed by falling debris or were unfortunate enough to be cut in half by the claw.

Blitz looks to the area and soon leads the Genosaurer to the other side of the base and actually runs over and stomps a vehicle and the many pirates trying to hit them. "Useless bobble, don't worry about them. Let's get rid of the last one and we can kill many more." He said to which the Genosaurer roars in acceptance and soon was peppered by turret fire as they approached the area.

"Unfortunately for you, we have the range." Blitz says as he targets the turrets outside of their range.

The turrets soon either died down from the laser fire that cut their circuitry or explode from the fire and soon most of them falls from the fire and only one was left as it seems to look around before looking back at them. "Yeah, you're dead." Blitz said through the speaker system before they fire at it and makes it explode. "Onto the generator." Blitz calls out. Genosaurer roars again before proceeding before they came to the generator with its own barrier. "Oh, wise guys huh? Well, let's see how they handle a charged particle gun shot." Blitz says smirking as the Genosaurer anchored itself again.

The Genosaurer roars as it opens its mouth and aims at the generator before charging up a shot and firing at it to which the shield holds up a bit before the particle beam went right through it and makes the generator explode and the pirates close by before the beam dies down and the Genosaurer closes its mouth and unanchors itself. "Nice, now then." Blitz said looking to the base and sees the shield start to dim down and soon falls.

"Shield down, all units, commence assault. Zoids, lead the charge and no, that doesn't mean those piloting Gustavs." Blitz says on the radio.

He gets a chorus an agreement as most of the forces finishes off the pirates in front of them and starts to move into the base as some ships fly overhead and bombs the base, making holes in the thin buildings. "Sending teams into it by foot. Blitz, you better go out and meet up. Scans show they went underground a bit." Spike said. "I'm sure he's eager to do things on his own for a bit."

"Who needs to get out? Geno, show Spike what you can do." Blitz says.

Spike raises an eyebrow as the Genosaurer roars and then backs up a little before charging at the front entrance and smashes through it, firing most of what it had after a while. "Really Blitz? You sometimes take the fun out of stuff. Besides, I need some tech and some of the ships can really use it."

"You can just as easily obtain it from the black market. Samus, come in, where are you?" Blitz asks.

"Landing now. I'm outside the base and…why is there a giant hole in the front door?" Samus asks.

"I told him and I don't want to do a black market deal. I rather put these things to better use than blowing it up to kingdom come." Spike said.

"That's my secret weapon. Let's see Ridley stand up to it." Blitz says as Samus joins the mandalorians charging in.

"Remember, I want to fight him alone." Samus said as she sees the ramping Zoid ahead.

"Fight him if you want, I'm only interested in capturing this base." Blitz says as Genosaurer crushes a turret with its claw. "Stay behind me and Genosaurer as we clear the way."

"Good, he and I had a score to settle." Samus said as she kept following until they ended up close to the middle of the base.

"You guys should be close to the middle now. Scan shows it is a large collection area. If I wanted a fight with a flying dragon, it's there." Spike said.

"And if he knows I'm coming by now, he will want room to maneuver. All squads, fan out and secure all areas, prioritize the hanger, armory, and security rooms first. The barracks are optional at this stage, but if you see a chance to secure one, take it." Blitz orders as Genosaurer crushed the last turret between them and the huge double doors to the room.

They soon burst through to a large platform that had a large cylinder walls around it, leading to an opening up high. "Huh, this just screams, 'Get ready for a big monster coming.'" Samus said as she walks carefully through the area while the mandalorians head down through the other doors in the room. As soon as they all went away and left Blitz and Samus in the room, do they change color before a metal plate goes over it and locks down. "Told you." She said before looking up.

"I didn't say anything." Blitz says as he and Genosaurer scan the room for Ridley.

Samus sighs as she keeps watching the opening. "Just like I met him for revenge." She said to herself as she aims her arm cannon upward and makes Blitz and the Genosaurer look up at well to see nothing, but a steady rain coming down. "Wait for it." She said before they hear a roar and sees an orange glow come from an edge and soon Ridley flies in and heads downward to them. "Told you." She said before firing at him.

Blitz says nothing as Geno fires his claw at Ridley, barely nicking him. Ridley roars before opening his mouth and sends out a large beam at them which makes them both dodge out of the way before Ridley lands.

Genosaurer, seeing this roars at him. "Ridley!" Samus yells.

"Samus, got a new pet?" Ridley mocks.

"Oh no, he did not. Not again." Blitz says agitated.

Samus frowns. "Ridley, come on. Remember our talk at the Hall? The one where you needed my help?"

Ridley growls. "That was nothing."

Samus keeps looking at him before noticing the blue sparks running along him. "Fine. Guess we will do this the hard way." She said as she aimed at him and the Genosaurer follows.

Ridley chuckles before taking off and hovers above them. "I love this sport of ours." He said before roaring and then launches missiles at them which they head to the other side to dodge.

"Put some rounds into him." Blitz says as Genosaurer's head gun started to turn.

Samus helps them by firing her arm cannon as the Genosaurer's head cannon fires away and Ridley flies around as he took some hits. "Come on! I hoped better from the great Cross!" Ridley yells as then dives and aims towards Samus before tries to swipe at her with his claws and she dodged to the side before sending out her grapple hook and latches onto his tail before pulling back hard and then whips it up before sending it down and sends him crashing to the ground.

Ridley roars as he quickly gets up and fires a beam at her and she dodged to the side, firing at his open mouth and Genosaurer fires at him, trying to hit a spot. Ridley roars again before he feels a hook on his chest and soon was pulled opened before Samus fires at it and causes some damage before Ridley slams it close and takes off again.

"I think he insulted us Geno. What do you think we should do?" Blitz asks.

Geno roars and charges at him to which Ridley moves out of the way and tries to fire at them with missiles again and hits Geno all over, but he just turns and roars back as he fires his laser guns at him, hitting him in the chest.

"Not even a dent in the armor." Blitz says.

Ridley roars at them before flying up to the wall and behind a pillar and then doesn't come out. "Nice try, we got one for that too." Blitz said before anchoring Geno and then he opens his mouth and charges the cannon.

Samus sees this happening before looking to where he was. "Wait, don't fire!" Blitz looks at her too late before the beam fires and Ridley flies out and the beam goes through the wall and creates a hole as it dies down. Ridley chuckles before heading out the hole.

"Damn it. Get back here!" Samus yells jumping on top of Geno and then jumping out of the hole.

Blitz sighs and unanchors Geno before he roars and charges at the wall and smashes through it to find Ridley on the ground again as Samus hooks his chest and pulls it open before she changes a bright blue and has blue sparks running over her as she fires a blue beam at his open chest faster than normal before Ridley closes his chest again and flies off as Samus's blue glow dies down.

Blitz eyes her carefully. "Spike, scan Samus for any other energy that shouldn't be in her or her armor."

"Give me a few minutes. Oh and Ridley is charging something up." Spike said.

They all watch as Ridley roars before backing away in the large raining field and soon sparks a little before glowing bright blue and then sends a large blue beam at Geno and hits him hard enough to make him roar and actually slide backward from the force from it.

"You got three minutes." Blitz says.

"Need one and a half now." Spike said as Ridley dives down again and heads straight for Samus before picking her up and she tries to fire at his open mouth as then throws her into the building with a clang. "Ow." She said before pushing herself out and jumping down to the ground.

Blitz makes Geno run around as he makes the guns turn a bit toward Ridley as he still glowed bright blue and then sees laser balls hitting his shoulder as some of the blue areas of his armor changes color a bit from each hit. Blitz then fires a few laser fires at his shoulders before Ridley roars at them and then gets hit in the mouth and gets sent to the ground. Samus runs up as Ridley got up before attaching her hook to him again before pulling back a little as energy seems to travel along the line and into her. Ridley roars at her as he slowly moves closer to him as he gets hit in the back from Geno and Blitz who has actually come out of the cockpit and fires his blasters at him as well.

Ridley roars at Samus as he glowed bright blue again before his chest was pulled opened and Samus glows blue again. She then runs up to him and actually jumps at him and pounces at him before grabbing at him and fires point blank range at his chest before he grabs her and throws her off a bit away as his chest closed again and he clutches his chest.

"Scan done. She has something in her bio system. Something called phazon. She's 75% filled with it." Spike said.

Blitz watches carefully as the laser fire dies down and they just watch as Samus gets up again and then limps over to Ridley as he groans and tries to open his mouth and fire at her, but recoils as sparks runs over him. "Ridley." Samus said to him before hooking his chest again and pulls it open.

Blitz then watches as Samus aims her cannon at him before hooking him again, this time onto the open chest and pulls back a little as he sees blue energy start to run along the line and she grunts from the pain. "Spike?" Blitz asks.

"She's draining his phazon energy. Stop her, now!" Spike yells before Blitz jumps down and runs to them before Samus finishes and lets her hook retract on herself and starts to step backward as sparks run wild all over her and the blue glow on Ridley dies down. "What…Samus…you didn't…" Ridley said as he watches her carefully.

Samus looks up a bit and takes off her helmet and throws it to the side and holds her chest as she lets him see the scar running along her face and through her eye. "I did." She said smiling.

Blitz stops between the two. "This was your plan? Take the energy?"

Samus laughs. "What else? I need it to beat him. After all, you want your army back anyway. Now if you excuse me, I got to get back to work and then maybe I'll see you later." She said before grabbing her helmet and starts to limp away as sparks kept running along her.

Ridley groans as he gets up slightly before hearing a click and sees Blitz pointing his blasters at him. "Don't even." He said.

Ridley growls before looking to Samus. "Samus!" He yelled, grabbing her attention. "Forgetting something?" He asks while turning his head to the side and they see an energy orb just floating there.

Samus smiled as she walks back over and touches the orb before it gets sucked into her grapple gun and glows bright blue before dying down. "I better go deal with everything there now." She said looking at him. "I'll come back soon enough." She said before starting to walk away.

"So Ridley, care to surrender?" Blitz asks pointing all of Genosaurer's guns at him.

Ridley scoffs. "Like I have a choice."

"What do you think?" Blitz asks.

Ridley frowns at him. "Oh shut up. I already made a deal to her."

"Yes, but not with me. You invaded Mandalorian territory and a planet." Blitz says.

Ridley seems to raise an eyebrow. "But was it with my own distinction?"

"Care to try that with the rulers of this planet?" Blitz asks.

Ridley chuckles. "I'm sure they had their own fair share of it except mine is something of a mineral, ain't it? Powerful, but yet strong drawbacks."

"Then why do it?" Blitz asks.

Ridley smirks. "Being strong, what else?"

"Ok, well, since you caused all this trouble, you now owe a debt. Understand?" Blitz asks.

Ridley chuckles. "I already owe a debt to her and it would be the same for this. I made a deal with her in exchange for ending this."

Blitz keeps watching him. "So, you will do it?"

Ridley looks at him. "Don't have much of a choice."

"Good, first thing you will do is order your men to stand down as they are dying pointlessly right now." Blitz says.

Ridley growls a bit before roaring out loud and then stops before the firing stops in the distance. "Happy?"

Blitz huffs. "Oh yeah. Now stay there." He said getting back into Geno and closes the hatch. "Spike, how are we doing?"

"They're standing down. Most of them. Those using Phazon right now are still going, but they got quickly taken out. As for the base, still holding up. Samus is now getting in her gunship and heading out right now. She's 100% filled with Phazon now. She's going on a suicide trip at this point." Spike said.

"I doubt that. More like she is going after the one behind this." Blitz says.

Spike sighs. "And with the level of this stuff, it's going to kill her anyway."

"It ain't the first time she has been in this situation. Now prepare accommodations for our prisoners and finish securing the base." Blitz says.

"Oh, we got beds for them ready and waiting. As for the base, just give it until the end of the day." Spike said.

Blitz nods and looks to Ridley, just watching the sky. "Thanks and get one super comfy for our star guest." He said before turning to Ridley. "Come on, let's move it." Ridley huffs before getting up and starts to walk on all fours as Blitz and Geno pushes him along.

(Line)

"You want to do what?" Spike nearly yells at Blitz.

"You heard me, he has the experience this planet needs to really learn how to live in space and he owes a debt…no Spike. I know what you're thinking and after all of this, we can't cover it up." Blitz says.

Spike narrows his eyes. "And what if he turns again?"

"You think I'm stupid enough not to have precautions?" Blitz asks.

Spike sighs. "And just what is he going to do?"

"It's not what I'm going to do, it is what I have done. You see, I sent his food laced with nanobots keened to his genetic signature. If he gets too uppity, they can be activated and disassembles his atoms one by one." Blitz says.

Spike looks to him carefully. "I meant what is he going to do now?"

"He will most likely be the first admiral of the space fleet of this planet." Blitz says.

Spike raises an eyebrow. "Really, you would place him in that when many don't trust him at this point?"

"It's not a question of try, more of ability with the added insurance provided he will have no choice, but to do the best job he can." Blitz says.

Spike groans. "Why do you make things hard?"

"I don't, the world is just a hostile place sometimes, right Midnight Twinkle?" Blitz asks turning to Twilight.

Twilight leans her head in the doorway. "It's Twilight Sparkle." Twilight growls.

"Yeah, I got it Flashlight." Blitz says smirking. Twilight still growls. "Now how about that vacation? All of us." Blitz offered. "By the way, nice try sneaking Evening Glitter."

Twilight growls before going over to him and pushes him against the wall. "Say that again."

Blitz grins. "Evening Glitter." He said before he was banged against the wall again.

"Where is my camera? This would make a good sitcom." Spike says.

They both look to him before Twilight huffs and lets him go. "Take them." She said walking away. "I'm staying."

Blitz chuckles. "So is that a no to movie night?" Blitz asks following her.

Spike chuckles as he watches them leave before looking back to the large mecha dragon in the cell who was given a screen. "Hey, just reached the planet. Might be back sooner than later. I'm just going to give his present back. Kinda clashes with my style." Samus jokes.

Ridley chuckles. "It kinda does, though that scar really fits you. If it stays, you can say that my claw got you."

Samus shakes her head and smiles. "Oh boy, I really hope it doesn't."

Ridley nods. "Hey…thanks for getting that stuff out of me."

Samus nods. "No problem. After all, we still need to see who can beat each other in a fight."

Ridley sighs. "Yeah, guess we do."

Samus looks him over. "How did you get some of your body parts back?"

Ridley looks over himself. "Oh these? The Phazon has a side effect of regrowing flesh. I am just missing half of my tail, claws and my wings." Samus keeps looking at him until she smirks. "What?" Ridley asks seeing the smirk.

Samus chuckles. "Oh nothing. Anyways, better give the present back. And once that is over, if I'm still alive, I'm coming to see you and you better hope to be ready for a fair fight."

Ridley grins. "Since when is our fights fair?"

Samus shrugs. "Good point. Bye now." She said waving before the screen shuts off.

Ridley sighs as he puts the screen down before seeing the young dragon outside his electrical cell door. "Yes?"

Spike stares at him. "You do know what your punishment consists of, yes?"

Ridley waves him off with his tail. "Yes, yes. I'm supposed to teach you insects how to live in space."

"Hey, we are the same breed. We are dragons." Spike says annoyed.

Ridley chuckles. "Oh kit. If only you knew what I grew from."

Spike narrows his eyes before huffing some flames. "Yeah right." He said walking away.

"You better take a look at what she collected on me if you're curious." Ridley calls out.

Spike only looks back a little before continue to walk out of the prison full of pirates and heads toward the waiting ship, where Blitz and Twilight were now talking about which movies to watch when they get to Daring's home.

"So you forgive me?" Blitz asks leaning onto her.

Twilight smirks. "Cuddle me during the movie and we will talk about that."

"First come, first serve love. You have to beat the other mares to me." Blitz says smirking.

Twilight giggles. "I'm the mother bucking queen and you're my king. I will do what I want."

"But can you beat the rest in a race to me without help?" Blitz asks starting to tickle her.

Twilight laughs and giggles. "Yeah! I'm also the…not right there…alpha of this family!" She laughs out. "I will get you!" She keeps laughing as the dropship closes up and takes off.

"No, you won't because I got you." Blitz says continuing his assault.

Spike just mimic a barf. "Geez, take that somewhere else why don't you?"

Blitz smirks. "Aw, Spikey Wikey hate this because he doesn't have his own to play with. Should I call up Slender?" He teases.

"Oh most certainly…not." Twilight says laughing.

Spike growls as his flames come out of his mouth a little before dying down. "Careful Twi, remember what happens when you keep dragons from their future mates." Blitz reminds as he still kept tickling her.

Twilight giggles as she waves him off. "Oh please, she's still in trouble." She said laughing less as Blitz let's up now.

"Ug…at this rate we will have another alicorn running around." Spike says huffing.

"That's the plan." They both said which elected another groan from him before laughing at him.

"So girls, for movie night, a challenge has been put to each of you. The first one who can reach me here in the theater gets to sit next to me." Blitz says to the girls on his communicator as the foals climb all over him. "Now there are a few rules. One, no changelings. Two, no teleportation and finally, no popping out of nowhere Pinkie." Blitz says.

"Done and done." They said.

Blitz grins. "Okay, on your marks, get set, go!" He calls out before all the mares leaves the call and start running to the Darkstar a little away from town before turning to the foals. "Alright guys and gals, your moms are going to be busy for a few. What do you want to do?" He asks as Arcane still tries to braid his mane.

Blitz smiles at the foals playing around. "So Minerva, did you change the call a little to make it appear I was in the ship?" Blitz asks.

Minerva grins. "Of course. It wouldn't be a proper race without it. Now, what do you want me to do next?" She asks as Sunshine starts to climb on her.

"I don't know about you two. But me and little Sombra can play with the little chaos bringers. Oh they are so adorable, especially Loki's great granddaughter." Discord said.

"What?" Blitz asks.

"Nothing." Discord says picking up Lightning. "Yes, you are going to cause much chaos little one."

Blitz shakes his head as Sombra stares down Blazer. "Wank." He said to Blazer. "Sup." Blazer said as Sombra is petted from behind by Azure.

Blitz sighs as he sits down. "Oh boy. At least I'm spending time with them." He said to himself as some of the foals starts to climb on him again. "So taking bets, who will come through that door first?" Blitz asks.

Discord chuckles. "Oh yes. I'm betting the young queen first."

"Wank." Sombra said.

"Rainbow." Minerva said.

Blitz sighs. "All of them once they figure it out."

"I'm leaning more towards Octavia or Vinyl as their enhanced sense of smell can lead them here." Minerva says thinking it over.

Blitz chuckles. "You think they would be angry once they figure out where we are?"

"Well you never did say where you were exactly." Discord says.

Blitz shrugs. "Guess so. Still, I hope my little ones will protect me." He said as all the foals look at him before looking at each other and then back at him. "They are not, are they?" Blitz asks noticing the stares.

The door suddenly opens in Daring's home and Twilight stares at him. "Really, the winning circle is here?"

"Should have made no magic a rule." Blitz says.

"Oh, I don't know, we found you quick enough." Vinyl says leaning into him from behind.

"Master." Fluttershy said near him.

Blitz looks around and notices all the mares at the windows or doors. "Huh, this is surprising. Who won anyway?" Blitz asks looking at the other three.

"Hard to say as you can't fully trust any of us because we will just say we won." Octavia says booping Azure's nose with her own.

Blitz nods. "Okay, Twilight and Vinyl on the side of me. Fluttershy, my lap. Deal?"

"And me?" Octavia asks.

Blitz thinks on that. "How about at the hoof of me? Just sit down near me, you kinda came later so you get that. Fair?"

"Ah no, I just grabbed Azure before he fell off the desk here instead of grabbing you." Octavia says obviously not happy, causing Blitz to sweat.

Blitz chuckles nervously. "Well…"

"Uh oh, somepony is in the doghouse." Spike says.

"Not helping." Blitz says through his teeth.

Spike chuckles as Octavia moves up to Blitz and stares him down before sighing as Azure climbs over to him. "Take them. I'm fine anyway." She said before moving away.

"No, I think Octavia should spend some time with him, don't you girls think?" Twilight asks with a mischievous smirk.

"This is about me playing around and teasingly getting your name wrong, isn't it?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles. "Oh yeah. I'm willing to let her take my place. Now then, it's getting late and we need to get started on the movie." She said walking over to the living room and sitting down on the far end of the couch.

"Oooh, what did you call her?" Pinkie asks bouncing in.

Blitz nervously laughs as Twilight sets up the movie and the others move to the room. "Midnight Twinkle, Evening Glitter, Flashlight." He said weakly.

They hear Rainbow laughing as she enters. "Really, thanks for the names now." She laughs.

Twilight glares at him for that. "Oh don't be so grumpy Flashlight." Pinkie says shining a flashlight on Twilight.

Twilight glares at her and takes the flashlight away before shining it on the large TV on the wall as the sun starts to set.

"Here." Daring says.

Blitz sighs as he sits down on the couch as Octavia and Vinyl sit on the side of him and Fluttershy sits down on his lap and leans into him. "Wait." He said to himself. "I just realized I got vampires around me." He said before looking to the three mares who were smirking at him and then hisses at him. "Dang it Midnight Twinkle!" Blitz calls.

"Midnight who?" Spitfire asks walking in to see a laughing Rainbow.

Twilight groans as Rainbow sits down beside her as she kept looking up movies.

Blitz looks helplessly at the rest of them as the mares start licking his neck. "Help." He squeaked.

The foals just run in and sits down as close as possible before their mothers pulled them back a little.

"Dang nabbit, I lost." Applejack says walking in and soon was followed by the rest.

"Help me." Blitz calls out as the mares continue to lick his neck.

Applejack just pats his head. "No thanks Blitz."

"Ok girls, that's enough. Don't want the foals to try and start imitating you." Blitz says.

The mares let up and just lean against him. "Fine." They said.

Blitz sighs in relief as they start to sit down and watch the movies on the screen pass by. "Daring, whose account are you using?" Blitz asks.

Daring smirks. "Spike's. He's got no use for it that much anyway."

Spike nods as he leans against Slender. "Yep, use to. Not so much now that Mandalore decided to leave me with the ships left in the fight against the pirates."

"What did you pick anyways?" Blitz asks.

Twilight and the rest of the mares smiled at him. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." They said as the movie pops up and starts to play.

"No! Get me out of here!" Blitz yells as he tries to get out of the grip of the three mares.

"Tie him down." Daring says smirking.

"Please, I'll like you very much later." Blitz pleaded as Applejack tied him down as the rest of the mares ignore him as they laugh at the movie.

As the credits rolled, the mares looked to Blitz who was asleep with his tongue hanging out. "Aw, he's so cute when he's asleep." Vinyl said.

Fluttershy giggles and nuzzles his head. "Master is so handsome too."

Twilight sighs as he snorts a bit. "Let's go to bed everypony. Time for bed."

Daring smiled. "Good thing I prepared for the whole family too." She said waving her hoof at the lights and they start to dim down. "Bedtime foals." She said to them.

The foals actually whine before one yawns and soon they all yawn. "Bedtime." Twilight said getting Arcane and walking off to the foal's room with the others following.

"I'll get this one to bed while y'all do that." Applejack says.

The other mares voice their agreements as Applejack pick him and puts him on her back. "Blitz, you can open your eyes now."

Blitz pops open one eye. "Is it over?"

Applejack chuckles as she heads to the room at the end of the hall. "Yeah. The movie is over and everypony is heading to sleep."

"I haven't used that meditation technique to put myself into a light sleeping trance in a long while." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "You really hate mare flicks?"

"I think I should be nicer and not tease you girls so much and avoid the torture sections, though Rainbow and Daring didn't seem to care for it much or even you for that matter." Blitz says.

Applejack looks back at him as they enter his room and she sets him down and unties him. "Because you were my cousin once. And now my husband. There's no point in hating you, you have nothing to do with much as it is. Besides, I sometimes hate the competition like that."

"I meant the movie love." Blitz says.

Applejack blushes. "Sorry. Kinda worried about you at this point. You really worked yourself to the bone for the last few months."

"Yeah, well, it is my job and now I'm going at a slower pace. Now tell me your real feelings on the movie element of honesty." Blitz says.

Applejack smiled. "It was cute, but could have used something like us. Unpredictable and crazy."

"And you about nodded off a few times." Blitz says leaning against her.

Applejack sighs. "Okay, it was boring enough to put me to sleep. Can ya blame me?"

Blitz chuckles. "Not really. Why don't you head off to bed and we will all have a really fun time tomorrow."

"What are you talking about…you haven't checked out the master bedroom yet, have you?" Applejack asks. Blitz gets confused before looking over to the bed and sees multiple different beds, either cloud beds or even a bunk bed. "Daring really wanted us to be together. The foals have their own rooms and you also have your own just in case you ever feel like you need to be alone for a bit. I know we can be a bit clingy sometimes, but we'll respect that privacy. And then there are our good old night stands full of whatever we need. And with Twilight's changelings acting as servers here now, well, it got better." Applejack explained.

Blitz looks to her as every mare comes in and starts to take their place. "I kinda want a request."

"Yes?" Applejack asks.

"First, a few questions. Are the foals asleep in their bed?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiled as she got onto the cloud bed. "Yep, though Blazer is a bit nosy." She called down the hall and they hear scampering.

Blitz nods. "And this room is fully stocked and equipped?"

Daring leans against him. "Costumes and all, but we all made it clear Fluttershy could not bring her toys in here. Not enough room. We are already pushing it." She said.

Blitz nods. "Okay then. How about a little costume party?"

"Too tired." Twilight says collapsing on the cloud bed.

Blitz sighs. "Oh well. There goes that fantasy of just sleeping with hot nurses." He said heading to the bed in the middle.

"Don't worry, we got all the time you need." Daring says laying next to him.

Blitz chuckles. "You mares sure know how to treat a stallion."

"Although some of us will have to leave every so often." Spitfire says.

Blitz shrugs. "As long as I got you girls here with me, I'm fine."

Fluttershy jumps on top of him and lays down on him. "Consider that part done master."

"That reminds me, where is angel and the rest of your animals?" Blitz asks.

"Luna." They all said.

"She kinda agreed to let us have fun while she looks after them." Twilight said raising a hoof in the air sleepy before letting it drop.

"So they are not staying here?" Blitz asks.

"One day, just not this time." Rainbow said.

"Oh yes, this our time alone and with them here, we would have less time with you." Rarity said.

"So who calls dibs for tonight?" Daring asks getting on a cloud bed.

Blitz watches as Fluttershy just looks at him and then Rarity moves over to him and lays down next to him. "Me and Fluttershy has been missing some fun for a while."

"The reason I will never join in with Fluttershy again is because what happened last time." Daring says giving her the stink eye.

Fluttershy smiled before turning to her with a grin. "Would you like it again?" She asks licking her fangs.

Daring just grumbles as she covers herself up with the bedsheets. Blitz shakes his head before wrapping his hooves around them and puts them on their cutie marks. "That's weird. I just noticed it now." Blitz said.

"What?" Rarity asks giggling.

Blitz sits up a little and looks at her. "When did you get such a big flank?" He asks bluntly.

Rarity stares at him for a second before smacking him.

"Ow." Blitz said as he stayed turned to the side. "It was an honest question. I mean, it's bigger than Fluttershy's." He said making Fluttershy look to her flank before looking at Rarity's.

"Why I never. I've been insulted by my husband, not once, but twice." Rarity whines.

Blitz looks back at her. "What are you talking about? That's a compliment."

"A compli…what now?" Rarity asks.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "A compliment. Besides, I got a little bit more interested when I saw Fluttershy's jiggle a bit. Remember that Daring?"

"How could I not?" Daring asks back.

Blitz chuckles. "Besides, if I'm right." He said before poking Rarity's flank and makes it jiggle a bit. "And I am. There's more of you to love."

"Note to self, go on a diet." Rarity says.

"Oh now you have done it." Applejack says.

Blitz sighs before grabbing Rarity and flipping her over. "Come on Rares, I love you like this. It doesn't matter. Besides, you weren't complaining when you confessed your love me." He said winking. "Couldn't say my right name right."

"She's going to starve herself trying to lose weight." Rainbow say getting on a cloud of her own.

Blitz leans close. "And you no doubt loved it because you got my name right, right after I hit you there. Don't you want to revisit that time? Us in that way, trying to say my name?"

Rarity blushes at the thought. Blitz smiled and leans in close to her ear. "What do you say? You and me and that memory, trying to remake it?" He asks.

Rarity whines a bit. "Why did I let you talk me into this?" She asks as she tries to stuff her face with some of the food they have for their private picnic.

Blitz chuckles as he holds her in his lap and wraps his hooves around her. "Because you love me and you secretly like the way I do this." He said in her ear as he rubs his hooves around her hindlegs.

"I hate you sometimes." Rarity cutely huffs.

Blitz nuzzles her neck. "No you don't." He sang in her ear as it twitches at him before he playfully nibbled it.

Rarity squeaked as she freezes up. "Blit…Bli…" She stammered.

"Oh, starting already are we?" Blitz whispered before continuing.

Rarity eeps as she tries to squirm away from his grip. "Bli…"

Blitz doesn't allow it and renews his assault with increased vigor.

Rarity gulps as she keeps trying and pushes his hooves away. "Bli…please…"

"Oh ok, I will cut the foreplay and go straight to the part where I…" Blitz leaves off there as Rarity feels something entering her.

Rarity blushes hot red as she tries to look around and sees the others playing around on the other side of the lake. "Bli…please…somepony will eep!" She squeaked as Blitz lifted her up a little.

"Not likely, I set up a cloaking generator." Blitz says.

Rarity still blushes red as he nuzzles her a bit. "Bli…"

"Shh. It's ok, I'll be gentle like how you girls taught me." Blitz whispers before Rarity feels her tail being pulled.

Rarity eeps as he keeps nuzzling her with the occasional kiss there. "Bli…" She tries to say, but goes into a half comatose state now.

"Think they're okay?" Daring asks as she sets up supplies for the fencing.

"I'm sure they are fine, though Rarity is tricky. She manipulated it to where she gets two turns." Shadow says huffing a bit.

Fleetfoot chuckles. "Well, he did insult her a bit. What do you expect?" She asks as Terran plays with the foals and lets them ride him.

"I don't think she was even insulted. She just said that to get this." Shadow says.

"Um…mistress Rarity likes using that to her advantage." Fluttershy said meekly before looking to her flank. "Maybe I should make it bigger."

"Remember what he said Fluttershy. He loves all of us just the way we are and to not change." Rainbow says laying on a cloud with her wings acting as blankets to her sleeping foals.

Fluttershy blushes. "Um…okay." She said before hiding behind her mane.

"Aw, cheer up Fluttershy." Pinkie said hopping over with Sunshine on her back as she hangs onto her mane. "If you want, we can give you an experience, putting those assets you have to their full potential." She said before giggling and snorting. "Assets. Flank pun."

"May not be the best time to discuss this girls." Spitfire says from the top of the house.

Twilight giggles. "Please, the foals won't understand why we are laughing at this and when they learn the words, they would have different meaning. Assets is called something you have for bits like bank accounts. They won't figure it out until they really get older."

"No, I mean there is a griffon coming this way and he is being led by Minerva." Spitfire says.

They all look up and sees a griffon flying next to the large blimp that Minerva uses to hide the Darkstar. "Minerva, what's going on?" Twilight asks through her omnitool.

"Remember when we told you that Blitz was assigned a squire?" Minerva asks.

Lightning chuckles as they both landed, Minerva more slowly that the griffon. "Hello Whirlwind. Sorry, Cross is a bit busy right now."

"So this is Whirlwind." Twilight says.

Whirlwind looks over to Twilight. "Hi." He said holding out a talon. "Squire Whirlwind."

"Sorry, but my husband is currently busy like Lightning over there said." Twilight says.

Whirlwind clenches his talon. "Okay then. So what should I do in the mean time?"

"So can you talk now?" Blitz asks.

Rarity nods and just strokes his chest. "Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for this Blitz."

"So what have we learned about manipulating?" Blitz asks.

Rarity looks up at him. "What do you mean?"

"That whining, I saw that smirk of yours when you looked away." Blitz says before kissing her.

Rarity moans into the kiss before he lets go. "Um…yes. Do you really like my flank?"

"Oh no…I like every part of you." Blitz says smirking.

Rarity blushes as he kept stroking her flank. "Um…thank you."

"Now, shall we return or do you want to stay like this a while longer?" Blitz asks.

Rarity smiled and sits up a little. "I like to get back and clean up too."

"Alright, come on Rarity." Blitz says getting up.

Rarity smiled and looks to him before blushing. "Sorry for…you know…hitting you."

"It didn't hurt love." Blitz says as she walks in front of him and he smacks her flank. "Although fair is fair." Blitz says.

Rarity moans as she feels her flank still move. "Okay, fair is fair."

Blitz chuckles as he wraps a hoof around her and pulls her along. "Come on. I'm getting hungry for a big meal."

Rarity smiled and nuzzles him. "I love you Blitz."

Blitz nuzzles her back as they head back. "Love you too, my fabulous mare." Blitz says smirking as he taps their horns together.

Rarity gasps as she feels a spark run through. "Oh, that feels good."

"I know, now tell me about the fief Lightning showed you." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Rarity smiled. "Well, I like the one with the ballrooms. How about the one that is slightly up on a mountainside? Large windows and a great view while we dance the night away."

"Is this the one with a hot spring as well?" Blitz asks.

Rarity giggles. "Oh yes, in the mountain too. Part of the home in there. It sounds so good with our own hot spring."

"And you can be the lady of the castle." Blitz says knowingly.

Rarity smirks. "With me as your wife, yes I will be."

"Oh the balls you could hold in the castle." Blitz says egging her on a bit.

Blitz smirks. "And some balls I will hold for myself at nights." She said while moving her tail under him.

"And you are already planning your possible daughter's debutante ball, right?" Blitz asks.

Rarity nuzzles under his head. "Oh yes. She will love it."

"Unless she somehow ends up like Rainbow or Lightning." Blitz says chuckling.

Rarity frowns. "Oh no, she will be a proper mare."

"Of nobility like Vinyl." Blitz jokes in a sarcastic voice.

Rarity looks to him. "Nobility, Vinyl?"

"She is the daughter of the king of vampire ponies." Blitz says.

Rarity looks surprised. "Kind of the vampires?"

"Bloody Mary wasn't always a pony. Different types as sometimes it varies from specie to specie. So you're going to be with Octavia on how you raise foals?" Blitz asks.

Rarity nods. "Yes, my parents took care of Sweetie Belle when she was a foal before giving her to me once she was old enough."

"Oh, so you planning on attending her next concert with me and Azure?" Blitz asks.

Rarity smiled a little. "Maybe, if I had something to lower the volume a bit."

"This is Octavia, not Vinyl love." Blitz reminds.

Rarity blushes. "Sorry, it's just the way you dealt with me kinda put me out for a bit."

"It's still adorable how Vinyl chases Azure around." Blitz says.

Rarity giggles. "Oh yes, the way she makes a face when she fails each and every time. Even Azure laughs at the way she makes faces."

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, she does that…why is the Darkstar here?" He asks as he sees the blimp.

"What?" Rarity asks seeing it.

They both quicken their pace and soon reach back home. "Someone want to tell me what's going on?" Blitz asks.

"Oh honey, someone just arrived. I believe you know your squire." Twilight says.

Blitz looks to the griffon as he was being pulled by the foals. "Whirlwind. Well, this might be interesting." Blitz says smirking.

"Sir that is you, right?" Whirlwind asks.

"Atten hut soldier. Eyes forward, back straight, claws, eight inches apart." Blitz orders.

Whirlwind immediately falls into it as the foals just coo or poke him. "Sir!"

"Answer your question Squire?" Blitz asks.

"Yes sir!" He said as the foals now climb on him and he tries to stay calm.

Twilight smiled. "So what now, training him on sword fighting or tactics, maybe some old fashioned board games?"

Blitz looks at her. "Well I was thinking all the above as he stays with us. Come on foals. Come to your father." Blitz says. The foals immediately rushes over to him and jumps on him all over. Blitz laughs as he lets them knock him over.

Twilight smiled as she turns back to Whirlwind. "I got something for you. Vacuum the house for us. Talk to the changelings inside and they would lead you to it. Every single room. And make sure you get every spot."

"Twi, he is my squire, not a man servant." Blitz says as Spectrum crawls onto his face.

Twilight smirks. "But isn't vacuuming like planning a battlefield and how to deal with it. Instead of a flower formation in one spot, you go at it line by line and cut off small areas before taking care of them?" Blitz couldn't say anything because of the foals crawling all over his face. Twilight smiled and lifts Spectrum off of his face. "So, what do you say? Teach him something simple?" She asks reading a book.

Blitz tries to look at her. "How about letting me and Lightning take care of that?" Blitz asks.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Then why aren't you? He's still standing there." She said motioning to the griffon just standing there and trying to stay still.

"And I'm under attack." Blitz says as Arcane stands on his hind legs as if standing triumph.

Twilight giggles as most of the foals try to beat Arcane. "Come on guys, give him a small break, but not too much."

Arcane, hearing her, tries to jump to her. Twilight just smiles and catches him with her magic. "Sorry dear. Better luck next time." She said as Arcane squirms in her magical grip.

"Oh, give him a hug love. He obviously wants you." Blitz says as he starts to roll around with the rest of the foals.

Twilight giggles and floats Arcane over to her before hugging him and nuzzling him. "Oh, you are so cute and smart, aren't you?" She asks tickling him now.

Arcane giggle as Pinkie grabs her daughter and rolls around with her. "Weeee."

Whirlwind just watches before looking straight again and tries to not notice the hatchling looking at him right beside him.

"Blazer, come get your food." Applejack calls from a grill full of corn and other veggies on aluminum. "And leave our new griffon alone."

"Applejack, help!" Blitz calls.

Applejack looks over. "You look fine Blitz. I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle." She said smirking as she turns back to the grill.

Blitz tries to get, but all the foals were now fighting over getting on top. "Um…guys. Can you get off me now?"

The foals look at him before they have a lasso around them and pulled off a bit. "Okay, that's enough." Applejack said.

Arcane laughs a bit as his desperado hat slips a little on his head. Twilight giggles and puts him down as the hat covers his view a bit before he pushes it up a bit and smiled as he can see again. "Like the hat, don't you?" Twilight asks.

"Maybe he has Applejack's southern spirit." Blitz jokes.

Arcane giggles and claps his hooves before trying to walk over to Applejack and she looks down before picking him up. "What, you want to see what I'm cooking?"

"I think I was right." Blitz says.

"Does this mean I lose my son?" Twilight asks humorously.

"No. Arcane, your mother wants to tickle you." Blitz calls, making Arcane eep.

Twilight giggles as Arcane starts squirming away before getting out of Applejack's grip and getting onto her back and trying to hide in her mane.

"Oh where could my little Arcane be?" Twilight asks moving close to Applejack who smirks at her.

The hat on her mane shakes a little before stopping. "I think he's right here!" Twilight cheers and grabs into her mane before seeing Arcane running out from the other side. "Okay, now you come back here." Twilight playfully said as she chases him as he runs away as fast as he could while the other just watch.

"Sir?" Whirlwind asks still stuck in his position.

"At ease." Blitz calls

Whirlwind sighs in relief as he relaxes his stance and then just watches them all just play around. "At least, it's a new experience." He said to himself.

"We are informal here Whirlwind." Lightning says.

Whirlwind looks at her. "I just need something to do." He said quietly.

"Rest for today. Tomorrow, we continue your training hard." Lightning says.

Whirlwind nods and looks around. "So…where am I sleeping, tent?"

"We have a few empty rooms inside." Lightning says.

Whirlwind looks to the house. "Um…"

"Hey Twi, call one of your subjects to come show him to a vacant room." Lightning calls as Twilight catches Arcane.

Twilight looks over and nods. "Okay, they would be out shortly." She said before returning to Arcane as a changeling comes out and pulls on his talon, catching his attention, before leading him inside.

"Rainbow, I think your twins are hungry." Blitz calls, hearing their stomachs rumbling.

Rainbow hovers over and picks them up and leads them over to the grill and grabs some food for them. "Who's hungry?" She asks, grabbing some food.

Blitz chuckles as he sits up and hugs Azure who still on him. "You heard her, who's hungry?" He asks him.

"I think he is." Octavia says.

Blitz smiled and nuzzles him before getting up and heading to the grill. "This vacation is turning out great." He said placing Azure on his back and grabbing some food. Octavia smiles and pets Azure's mane.

Shadow snores as she was pulled by some rope tied to Arcane and Sunshine as they pulled her out of the house on her cloud bed. She sniffs a few times before opening her eyes. "Is that barbeque I smell?"

"Oh Shadow, look who got you tied to the cloud." Spitfire says.

Shadow looks down and sees the two foals. "Hi guys."

Daring smiled as she untied them and heads to Blitz. "So what are we doing tomorrow?"

"Who knows?" Blitz says before stealing a kiss from her.

Daring eeps before he lets go and has a smirk on his face. "Just know that we have to do that fence sometime." She said pointing to the stack of wood.

"Don't worry love, we have a long time." Blitz says.

Meanwhile on Tython, the jedi council had convinced.

"So what is this about?" Ahsoka asks as she and her master and commander, Anakin Skywalker, stood in the council room.

"We have all felt a disturbance in the force." Mace Windu says.

Anakin looks around at all the masters. "And what exactly do we have?"

"We don't know what it is exactly. Could be a sith mistaking revealing himself or it could be something mistakenly using the dark side." Kit Fisto says.

Ahsoka looks confused. "How could someone use it mistakenly?"

"Possibly a member of an underdeveloped planet is force sensitive. Probably practicing without knowing what it is going on." Plo Koon says.

"If that's the case, we need to find them before our enemies do or if the worst, deal with it." Mace said.

"The problem is that the alliance and the republic have very strict rules with under developed planets and interfering with them." Obi Wan says.

"And the fact that the last time we did something like this, a jedi fell to the dark side and conquered and enslaved the planet." Shaak Ti says.

Ahsoka looks around at them. "So what do we do?"

"We could send someone to investigate." Plo Koon says.

"Do we at least know where it came from?" Ki-Adi-Mundi asks.

"Know, we do not, but work together, an answer may be found." Yoda says.

All of them soon start to concentrate and after a while, they start to thin out the direction before they stop and look at each other. "We have it." Mace said.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "So where is it?"

"Here." Yoda says pointing to the star map which zooms in on the equestrian system.

"Do we have any data on it?" Anakin asks.

A few screens pop up on and shows all the information on the system. "Huh, equines." Ahsoka said interested. "Wait…"

"Someone you know Padawan?" Plo Koon asks.

"Yes, they remind me of a bounty hunter I worked with to bring down that crime syndicate on my first solo mission." Ahsoka says transferring data on Southern Cross.

"This guy? This one came from that system?" Anakin asks as a picture of him comes up.

"The body type is the same, but how could he, as they are not even space faring?" Windu asks.

"I can answer that. I asked him what species he was as I didn't know what he was and he told me his wasn't a spacefaring race. When I inquired, he told me he was abducted as a child by intergalactic slave traders." Ahsoka explained.

They all look to her. "And he got out or did he join?" Mace asks.

"He is a mandalorian and all he said about the slavers was, 'There wasn't enough ashes left to fertilize a small garden.'" Ahsoka says.

They all look a little surprised. "Mandalorian? This might complicate things." Anakin said.

"We contact mandalore to see if they will give us some information." Kit Fisto says.

"That is if he isn't with the mandalorian warrior clans. As we all know, Mandalore has dismantled that and is trying to take the path of pacifism." Obi Wan says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow before looking to Anakin as the rest of the masters try to come up with something. "Can I go and deal with something? It might help this whole situation."

"Wait young one, you have met this one in person, correct?" Mace Windu asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, like I said, it was a solo mission that we did."

"Can you get in contact with him?" Mace Windu asks.

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to for a long while. He dropped off the grid a while ago and no one has really heard from him or even come in contact with him since he cashed in seven bounties." Ahsoka says bringing up the bounties pictures.

"Weren't they the ones that bombed the council?" Windu asks.

"Correction, the assembly of the alliance representatives. I think they call it the united species." Plo Koon says.

Anakin chuckles. "At the rate the system might be going, they might have to join."

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Anyway, the only thing we got was transactions for his bounties. That was all we got for information on him last."

"You said you were unable to contact him. Does that mean you had the ability to?" Obi-Wan asks.

"Yes, I have the number to his private channel, but I haven't been able to call him in years." Ahsoka admits.

Anakin smiled. "Space trip?"

"I have no idea where he is. For all I know he has become one with the force already." Ahsoka says.

"Or he could be unintentionally doing it and it could be something else. Also, is there something you are not telling us?" Obi Wan asks.

Ahsoka flinched at that and stayed silent for several moments before speaking. "I am unsure, but I think he may have had feeling for me at one time." Ahsoka says.

They all stare at her. "And what did you do about that?" Anakin asks.

"I never got the chance to do anything as we fell out of contact." Ahsoka says.

They still watch her carefully. "As for now, let's not head for the system or try to find him until we get into contact with the mandalorians." Windu said.

"Send the padawan, we should." Yoda says surprising everyone.

They all look at him. "Excuse me?" Anakin asks.

"Padawan, what do you sense?" Yoda asks.

"I…I sense something calling out to me." Ahsoka admits.

Anakin watches her carefully. "And what does it say?"

"I can't tell. I'm not even sure it is using words." Ahsoka says.

Yoda hums before speak. "Go young Padawan. There may be destiny."

Ahsoka looks to Anakin before nodding to them. "Okay, so when do I leave?"

"Gather your essentials. Provide a ship, we will." Yoda says.

Ahsoka nods and walks out, leaving the rest much to discuss.

Ahsoka walks through the old temple that had been only recently reconstructed. 'The planet of the first jedi and origin of the order.' She thought. 'I wonder if he remembers.'

"Board." Blitz calls out as best he could as he holds the nails in his mouth. Daring and Applejack hold the board in place for him to nail in. He grabs the hammer and nails the board in. "Thanks, how's the foals doing?" He asks getting more nails.

They all look over and sees the foals standing on each other as they try and hold the board up while Shadow smiles and hammers it in. "They're doing fine." Applejack said.

"It's too adorable." Fluttershy says.

Blitz was about to hammer in another board when he got a shiver down his spine.

Daring notices his mane stand on end for a bit. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just have a feeling of something. I can't place it though." Blitz says.

Daring looks a bit concerned. "You'll be okay, right?"

"I don't know." Blitz says.

Daring leans in. "Want me to tell Minerva to be on the lookout for anything strange?"

Blitz hammers in another board. "Minimal, just be on lookout near us."

"Spectrum, Blast, how are you two doing?" Rainbow asks as the twins start to wake up from their nap.

They both look up at her and hold out their hooves.

"Come here my foals." Rainbow says nuzzling them on the cloud.

Blitz smiled as he watches them. "This was a great idea Daring." He said looking to her.

Daring grins. "I know, I'm awesome."

Rainbow looks to her. "Hey, that's my shtick."

"Too bad." Daring said before sticking her tongue out at her.

Blitz chuckles. "Ladies, please. Let's not fight, especially with the foals here." He said motioning to the foals now trying to balance a new board.

"Ok, fine." The two mares say in unison.

Blitz smiled. "That's good. Now then, how's your end going Whirlwind?" He asks while grinning a bit at his predicament of being the stock griffon and carrying all the supplies.

"Doing well." Whirlwind says.

Blitz smirks and raises an eyebrow. "Do you remember my order?"

Whirlwind grunts a little as some of the supplies weighs him down. "To take care of the supplies and not let it get tarnished."

Blitz tilts his head. "And you didn't think of another way?"

Whirlwind looked confused before realizing what he meant. "Dang nabbit!" He yelled before all the supplies went down with him and landed on top of him. "Ow."

Blitz chuckles as he walks over. "Yep, you could have used a tarp." He said grabbing another board and wood brace while using his magic to lift those supplies off him.

Whirlwind groans as he sits up. "Sorry sir."

Blitz waves him off. "It's fine. Just try to think of what you remember back in your young days. I'm sure your parents may have to do maintenance on the house. Even if you didn't participate, you may have seen it from time to time on how they deal with it."

Whirlwind nods as he looks up. "Um…yes sir."

Blitz smiled. "Good." He said making a tarp come out of the house and placed on the ground before putting the supplies there.

"You will be missed Daring." Blitz says hugging her.

Daring chuckles as she hugs him back. "Hey, I'm coming back. Just need to keep up my job don't I?"

"Yeah, but we won't be able to see you for a while. Also I added your omnitool with a distress signal that will alert me if you are in trouble or you go into labor." Blitz says.

Daring smiled and kisses his cheek. "Thanks Blitz. Now then, my train leaves in a bit, so I better go."

"You two make sure nothing happens to her." Blitz says to the pony guards that Twilight gave.

They nod as Daring giggles and kisses him again, this time on the lips before letting go and then grabs her bag. "See you honey." She said before walking away. "Bye everypony."

"Bye." They all say, waving or the best the foals could do.

Blitz smiled as she left, but not before she actually blew a kiss at him before the door closes. "That is definitely my wife."

"And now she is like how I was." Rainbow says holding Spectrum and Blast.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, though, I still like a bit of change here and there, I don't want to lose the real you. Remember that." He said to the rest of them.

"Now Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Daring are away now." Twilight says.

Blitz nods. "If there's anything you girls need to do and that requires you to be away, do it. The vacation is coming to a close anyway."

"What vacation, we are temporarily living here?" Applejack says.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Considering that Mandalore might contact me and call up for another mission or anything. He's like that to call me when I'm on my off time. Did it once in the middle of a massage too."

"I know, but you are building up this planet. That reminds me, we have we have a meeting with the griffon king in three days and Luna wants to see us soon." Twilight says.

Blitz groans. "I hate meetings."

"There, there, Blitzy." Twilight says as Arcane is on his head laying down.

Blitz looks to her. "Can you do the talking?"

"Maybe, but will need to consult you as some of the meeting will be about Ridley and starting to mine materials to start making starships." Twilight says.

Blitz stares at her before groaning. "Dang it. At least I can convince them this will give a lease on life and able to have a bigger military. When do you want to go?"

"It's not for six days and you have a concert to attend to tonight." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. "Then I'll see you later Twi. Who knows what Vinyl may be doing now?"

Twilight giggles. "I can guess. Drinking and hitting the tunes already."

"Yeah, she is always like that before having to go to one of Octavia's concerts." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled and gives him a kiss. "Better get going." Blitz nods and heads off as Arcane jumps off and lands on Twilight's head. "Bye honey." She said waving at him as Arcane gives a little wave as well.

"Alright, see you all soon." Blitz says walking away with a smile.

They all wave at him as he heads out the door before running off. "Okay, now what?" Twilight asks looking to the rest of them.

Spike watches the meeting happen as he runs some of the ships on a small escort mission. "So, to recap. You will get a larger military army, have access to the world provided that you follow the newly established rules as followed and you would get new access as time goes on and you gain more experience in the area." Blitz said to the griffon king as Luna stands in for Celestia, a dragon was there, with a diamond dog, a zebra and many others. "Also, you will have to put some differences aside as the whole planet will contribute to this effort and always work with personnel and soldiers from all sides." He further explained.

"We dogs have little choice in the matter. We will agree with this." The overlord of the dogs says.

The dragon huffs some flames from his mouth. "As long as we can send some young hatchlings on board. I don't think the experienced and wise ones would even bother moving. At least make a ship for our size to follow and we will follow."

"Considering the size of the admiral that has been chosen, I don't think that is a problem." Blitz says.

The griffon looks to him. "And where is this…Ridley?"

"On his ship. We are currently constructing a space station in orbit to be bases for either the defense system of the planet or a shipyard." Blitz says.

The zebra keeps looking over the papers and then looks to the tablet on the table. "And how long would it be?"

Blitz sighs. "A few years at least. It does take a while to build ships, let alone a station."

The zebra stares at him. "We are still searching along the world, but if there are other places, we want to be a part of it."

Luna smiled. "We kinda have no choice anyway since we have already sent some of our own for a test run as it were. And boy did they like it. So, we're in."

Spike stared at the griffon king on the monitor as he redirects the path of one of the ships as Ridley comes up behind him. "This is your kind on your planet?"

Spike huffs. "Yeah, we don't look like it, but we would pack a wild punch when it comes to it. Everyone has already agreed, but the griffon king is still holding out."

"So what, he still coming to term about all of this about other species living out beyond the solar system and they can travel through space?" Ridley asks as he is handed a large datapad.

Spike smiled a little. "Somewhat. Especially after this thing." He said making a screen come up and shows a creature in the bay in a room with a large clear window as it just stared at the personnel nearby. "Once this thing and its friends pop up, the griffon king ordered a full examination, but Blitz got them away first."

"Never seen anything like them before." Ridley says.

Spike shrugs. "Records show it is a Wraith. A very stealthily monster. Deadly when facing alone."

"How old are those records?" Ridley asks.

Spike looks carefully at him. "At least a thousand or so galactic years from an abandoned colony after they found it there. Of course here, they were hibernating."

"Then that begs the question, what were they doing here?" Ridley asks as the sensor net sounded. "Report!" He ordered.

"Sir, unknown vessel has been detected." A communication officer says.

Spike sighs as he leaves a few more orders for the escort ships to follow before turning to him. "Where?" He asks as he turns on the radar map.

"Coming towards the planet from quadrant Q." The officer says.

"Sharp Shot, get to the main gun, all other units, battle stations!" Spike orders.

Ridley eyes the little dragon. "Have you always commanded this ship?"

Spike scoffs. "Not until the fight with you and your army. Then I could have some fun with it." He said as the ship comes online and starts to move around to the new vessel. "How many we got?"

"Only one. Scanning, it looks like a small ship used for smuggling or a privately owned transporter." The officer says.

"Check the schedule, do we have any incoming shipments?" Spike asks.

"No sir." The officer says.

"Could be slavers or a smuggler. I want that ship captured!" Ridley ordered.

"Yes Admiral. Should we inform the chief?" The officer asks.

Spike brings up the screen and sees them all signing the papers and datapad now. "No, this might hurt the planet's chance. Let's do this quietly as possible and let's try not to make such a big light show if we can."

"Alright, launch fighters, use ion weaponry and have the Darkline go stealth and sneak up onto the ship and get it in a tractor beam so it can't jump to hyperspace while simultaneously jamming their communications." Ridley orders and soon the Darkline disappears from his view.

Spike looks to him. "I see why Blitz wanted you with us like this." He said as the ships move closer to each other.

Ridley smirks. "Of course, I know you can do tactics, but for longer times and basic life, you know almost the basic stuff before you run short on a replicator." He said as the ship unknowingly moves past the Darkline. "Tractor beam, now!"

They soon watch as the little ship stops in place before shaking itself and soon was pulled inward to the Darkline as it revealed itself and has its cannons pointed right at it. "Guess we better greet our new visitor." Spike suggested.

"Send a message to the chief, now tell him we have a guest, a possible smuggler or maybe a slaver." Ridley says.

"Oh Blitz isn't going to like this." Spike says.

"Very good. I'll have the official papers signed with me and give it the seal of approval and send the others to the galactic council for you to start living life in space. For now, is the waiting game as we still need to build everything. Though you might want to start selecting soldiers and troops to be sent for training in space." Blitz said taking the papers and messing with the datapad.

Luna leans over. "So what now?"

Blitz smiled. "Well, like I said. Start selecting soldiers and troops for life in space and then…" His communicator beeps before he could say anything else. Blitz sighs and turns it on. "Cross here, what's going on?"

"Chief, we caught something we think it might be a smuggler or even a slaver based on the ship." A communication officer says.

"Roger, I will come up there personally to interrogate them later." Blitz says

"Um…yes sir." The officer said before cutting the line.

Blitz smiled as he turns to the rest of them. "Well, looks like I have something to look to. You can also discuss any other matters, but I have to get going. I promise I'll file the paperwork and you'll be legal to go into space then." He said before gathering the datapad and papers before walking away. "Ta ta."

"So what now?" Luna asks.

"Allow me to take over. I am one of the geographic experts that Mandalore himself assign to help with this planet's development. Now there are a few important resources you sh…" Blitz heard as he left.

"Sir, we just confirmed it. The chief is on his way up to the Darkline." The communication officer says. "Hang on, we got an encrypted message incoming from the Darkline. The…prisoner…is…a…jedi."

Ridley narrows his eyes as he watches the spectacle. "Great, now we have another party interfering."

"I haven't really read up on the Jedi. You mind bringing me up to speed?" Spike asks.

Ridley sighs, feeling a headache coming on.

Blitz docks the Darkstar into the Darkline, feeling weird without Minerva being in the ship with him. "I'll give you some time Minerva, don't you worry." He said getting out of his seat and heading down to the ship and sees more security than normal. "Who do we have?" He asks Rough Rider.

"Don't know for sure. But I'm told it is a she and an alien I haven't seen yet." Rough Rider says.

"Got it." Blitz says putting on his helmet.

"So what is with the small cape on your shoulder?" Rough Ride asks.

"Symbol of rank simply. Formal dress for the armor. Felt appropriate, considering." Blitz says.

Rough Rider only nods and leads him to the prison sector and they come upon a lot of guards at the doorway of the cell which housed someone just sitting down. "Alright, who is it?" Blitz asks.

"She won't give her name. She demanded to speak to our leader sir. But she had this." A mandalorian says holding out two lightsabers. A normal one and a short one.

"I see, so the jedi are investigating, but I wonder why news of the battle is being kept a lid on and even the informing of the species moving into space fairing is only known to the highest levels of the alliance." Blitz says thinking out loud.

"What do you want us to do with the prisoner?" The guard asks.

"Take these and secure them and only two guards remain. I will speak to her myself, but increase security to all nearby sections of the ship and set your weapons to wide burst mode or get shotguns or shotgun like weapons." Blitz says.

The guards all nod and starts to leave with the weapons and soon only Blitz and two guards were left as Blitz walks in as the electrical door sealed itself behind him. "I thought I recognized those things."

Ahsoka smiled as she looks up and quickly moves over and grabs his ears before stroking them. "Still cute ears."

"It's been a long time Ahsoka Tano, still a padawan?" Blitz jokes as he removes his helmet.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, still working on my life. But what about you? I haven't heard from you for a long time."

"Going on to eight years now." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Really, that long? Guess I haven't kept track that much. Though, what has been happening since we left each other?"

"Well I continued on my path and in the last two years, Mandalore assigned me to lead a new clan and watch over this area as it progresses into the next stage." Blitz says taking a seat.

Ahsoka nods. "Well, I'm sure you can guess as to why I'm here." She said sitting down as well.

"How did the jedi learn we were here?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka just looks at him and crosses her arms. "Really, that's your idea of why we got involved? Come on, where's the great Cross mind?"

Blitz tilts his head. "Then what are you here for?"

Ahsoka leans forward. "Why don't you figure it out yourself?"

"You and your jedi ways. I still don't understand them and I still don't like jedi in general." Blitz says levitating his helmet onto the table.

Ahsoka narrows her eyes. "The jedi are doing what is right."

"Look, let's not get into that argument again. We just met after all this time." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and leans back. "Sorry, now why don't you guess again? You get two more chances."

"Is it because of the recent space pirate attack and by that, I mean those that belong to the faction Ridley is in?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Try again."

Blitz goes silent and starts to think, tapping his hoof against the table.

Ahsoka just props her head against her arm as she kept watching him trying to think. "Well?"

"Don't tell me the force is trying to play matchmaker with us." Blitz says in a tone that Ahsoka couldn't tell was serious or a joke.

Ahsoka meanwhile got a slight blush. "No and you are out of chances. We picked up a dark user from here. I've been sent to find that being."

"I see. Force related stuff." Blitz says leaning back.

Ahsoka nods as she relaxes a bit. "So…want to give that being over?"

"I'm not fully sure there is such a being here. I mean, it is possible with there could be a force sensitive individual on the planet." Blitz says thinking it over.

Ahsoka tilts her head. "Then would you allow me to search the planet?"

"That is also a touchy subject. The leaders of this planet just agreed to work together to make the next step in their development not an hour ago. Besides, we aren't in the republic and you are an alien to the species itself. It goes without saying, things are very delicate as a war was recently settled with the natives." Blitz says.

Ahsoka narrows her eyes slightly. "Then how would I find the being?"

"You sure it is a force sensitive being? I mean, after seeing what I could do, you wanted to drag me off to your jedi council." Blitz says a little humorous.

Ahsoka blushes. "I thought you could use the force. Can you blame me?"

"Turns out that my powers are in everyone of my species sub-breed. If it is on how can you be so sure they aren't just a normal one of my species?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Well, we picked up a dark side of the force from here. Any ideas?"

"It's a big planet and it's not like we can just take blood tests for it." Blitz says.

"What happened to you Cross? You are a lot mouthier than last I saw." Ahsoka says smiling.

"Yeah, yeah, and you are more composed and mature. You ditch wearing just that tube top and you said what was it again? Oh yeah, I had to get that stick out of my ass and lighten up." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "I like this thing. Besides, you never did get that far with me. So you don't have any idea what so ever?"

"Three things wrong with that one. You're a jedi and I'm a mandalorian, second, completely different species, and finally, Jedi can't have attachments." Blitz says the last one more soberly than the other two.

Ahsoka frowns a bit as she looks away. "Look, just get me close enough to the planet and I'll find the being."

"You realize now that you have seen all of this, I can't let you report back to your council for sometime." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks slightly back at him. "Then what are you going to do?"

Blitz sighs. "I have no choice, but to take you down to the planet itself. There are only two places on the planet that have the capability of intergalactic communications without rerouting through one of the ships in orbit." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Fine. Just don't forget to remember like last time."

"You realize why I can't let you report back, right?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Yeah, the many possibilities with this planet that may be false and possibly extortion."

"Especially from the republic especially as your master is so chummy with the supreme chancellor." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns a bit. "Cross, I think we're done talking."

"It's Blitzkrieg." Blitz says catching her off guard.

She looks over a bit. "Blitzkrieg." She said, testing the name.

"It's my name. Now come on, the Darkstar One is waiting." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and gets up and follows him out as he puts on his helmet and he leads her out and to the Darkstar.

After they get there, Blitz gets into the pilot chair and powers it up. "Darkstar One, returning to the planet." Blitz reports as he separates from the Darkline.

Ahsoka hangs on as she watches him pilot the ship down to the planet. Trying to stay quiet for now as she kept her eyes open for the landscape.

"The planet is not your conventional planet. Because of the ability of my subspecies, things have developed in a whole different way." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks over to him. "And you are telling me this, why? I thought you said I couldn't report back to them about this."

"You can't, at least not until the alliance has officially recognized us as a sovereign planet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs as she turns back to the view as they come up to a base. "You know this would be like all those time after we separated."

"Our partnership was only temporary, we both know that no matter how much we bounded." Blitz says in a neutral voice, but Ahsoka felt pain from him through the force.

Ahsoka tries to calm down herself. "At least it was a good partnership back then." Blitz didn't reply as Ahsoka felt the pain increase. "Blitzkrieg…never mind." She said trying to keep her eyes on the view.

"We've landed." Blitz says getting up.

Ahsoka stares at him as he starts to leave before she follows him and he leads her to a small living quarter on the base. "This will be your room for now." He said as Mandalorians approached him asking about those ponies who had come there. "If they wish to join, let them. Also, tell the engineers to inspect the Darkstar One. I want a complete overhaul of it." Blitz orders.

The mandalorians nods as they deal with it as Ahsoka looks around. "So what are we doing while I'm here? I can't obviously stay in here for the whole time I'm here." She said.

"And I can't let you walk free and you will need a guide so you will be moving in with me while you are here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "What do you mean staying with you?"

"It's like I said. Look, I got to deal with a bit of political stuff and make arrangements. I'll explain everything later." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just watches as he leaves now and just leaves her alone in the room. "Well, this would be fun." She said to herself as she sat on the bed and started to meditate.

"I see the zebra tribes weren't the happiest that we wanted to mine there." Blitz says to the representative of the Zebra.

The zebra sighs. "Yes, we consider it a sacred area."

"I know where that one very important alchemist taught the ways of medicine to all of the tribes, but without that platinum, production will fall behind or the planet will have to go into debt just to get off the ground." Blitz says.

The zebra groans. "Try telling them that. The elders deal with areas like that and they are starting to get second thoughts. I tried telling them the advantages we could have, but like all old beings, they are stubborn."

"Then ask them this. Is that what the Alchemist would want, to jeopardize the future of the Zebras because of where she choose to teach all the tribes?" Blitz asks.

The zebra sighs. "I'll try, but you may need to find a backup if it doesn't work."

"I wanted to keep this a surprise by tell them we have already made plans to open an academy for the healing art in the Alchemist's name, a gift to the Zebra's for letting us mine the platinum." Blitz says sighing.

The zebra raises an eyebrow. "So then…"

"Make the argument what honors her memory more, letting the site remain as it is or following her example and teach all how to heal others." Blitz says.

The zebra stares at him. "Okay, this might work."

"I will leave it to you representative." Blitz says.

The zebra nods and walks away. "I'll see to it."

Blitz sighs as he ends the communication and walks off. Eventually he makes it back to the room Ahsoka was in and enters. He sees her just sitting on the bed as she meditates and he just goes over to the table and sits down as he waits for her.

"So…how did it go?" Ahsoka asks as kept trying to mediate.

"Aspirin needed. I really hate playing diplomat." Blitz says turning on the coffee maker in the room.

Ahsoka chuckles. "What do you think I have to go through at times?"

"Unlike you, I don't negotiate with a lightsaber." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka smiles. "My master calls that aggressive negotiations. It works all the time with him."

"Yeah and he still has yet to be promoted to jedi master." Blitz counters resting his head on the table, waiting.

Ahsoka finally opens her eyes and looks at him. "You're really that tired?"

"I'm a hunter and a best field commander. This is not my specialty or my preference. I understand why Mandalore gave the job to me being a native to the planet and the inhabitants are more likely going to listen to me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "At least you are getting them to work together."

"Come on, work faster." Blitz says growling at the coffee maker.

Ahsoka smirks. "I don't have to request another machine, do I?"

"That was one time and I still stand behind my statement, it was rigged to blow up." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Sure it was." Ahsoka says, getting up and walking over to him.

Blitz didn't notice as he was too focused on the coffee maker. "So, you asked about me, what about you? What have you been doing?" He asks.

"You know…"

"Being a jedi." Blitz and Ahsoka say in unison.

Blitz chuckles as he said that. "Oh, how I wish we could have the classic hunt again, just so I can rest easy."

"Oh, speaking of the good old days." Ahsoka says smirking before starting to scratch his mane, freezing him up.

Blitz tries to look at her. "Cheater, oh, that feels good." He said leaning into her scratching.

"I'm probably the only one who knows about this, now, just relax, I will help relieve your headache." Ahsoka says smiling.

Blitz grins as he leans in more. "Maybe I don't need that aspirin."

"Maybe this won't be so bad after all." Ahsoka says.

Blitz could only lean more into it as the coffee maker beeps once, signaling it was done.

Fluttershy drops her plate causing all of the mares to look to her.

"Something wrong Fluttershy?" Rainbow asks.

"I sense a new rival has appeared." Fluttershy says cryptically.

They just tilt their heads at her.

"So why do you put up with all of this if you hate to?" Ahsoka asks now petting his mane on the bed.

Blitz sighs and adjust himself on the bed so he could relax without his armor on. "I guess because I have a sense of responsibility to my home planet even though I didn't really grow up here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods as she keeps trying to get behind his ears. "So that's all?"

"I have my reasons another is this way slavers won't be able to waltz right in and kidnap another one like me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "So you're doing it so no other has to go through what you went through?"

"If not worse." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "You're still a good person."

"Your jedi would disagree. After all, I have killed twelve of your order." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka sighs. "How could I forget? But to me, you're always good in my eyes."

Blitz goes silent for a few moments before speaking. "I have always feared that one day we will come face to face on opposite sides and be forced to…" Blitz leaves off there.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, to tell the truth, I am too. Back then, it felt like you were there to keep me going. That is why you cut off communication with me, isn't it? You thought it wouldn't be as hard for both of us."

Blitz nods. "So it would to easier if it does come to pass."

Ahsoka sighs. "Your heart is just too kind sometimes." Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiled a little. "Can you blame me? I really like to keep others safe. Just those that deserve it of course."

"In that case, why did you kill those jedi?" Ahsoka asks.

"Simple, most Jedi are too arrogant and see the world in black and white. They think something is wrong or doesn't agree with them, they label them evil and something that needs to be destroyed." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just stayed silent.

"The jedi order has demonstrated time and time again they are bloodthirsty hypocrites who, if they don't commit genocide directly, let it happen." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops scratching his mane. "And how did you come to that?"

"History. Your order has shown it time and time again. The sith empire, during the first hyperspace war. After they had defeated themselves, the republic didn't stop there. They and the jedi were furious that someone had dared challenged them and as such tried to wipe them out completely and planted the seeds for the second hyperspace war." Ahsoka just stared at him. "If you look to another world war on a certain planet, the world punished a single country for what it did and that lead to another world war because everyone was harsh to them, but instead of imposing harsh restrictions and bills on them, the republic and jedi decided on genocide." He continued.

Ahsoka had now stopped completely as she almost looks past him as if he wasn't there.

"Ahsoka, please don't tell me that the jedi were doing as ordered because like in the mandalorian war, the jedi could have sat back and not participated." Blitz says.

Ahsoka tries to speak. "I…wait, how do you know of this such details have never been given to the public. Heck, I doubt even members of the republican military knows of this."

"Simple, I have had access to the jedi archives once before I met you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Once?"

"The code has since been blocked. I used the access code of the first jedi I killed. Back then, I wanted to learn more about the jedi through their own records. Little did I know, it planted a great hatred in me. If those records were ever made public, your order wouldn't survive long." Blitz says.

Ahsoka narrows her eyes slightly. "I know you Blitz, you would have done something else other than watch it."

"You're right, I would probably hunt a few of your masters and create a haven for some like you. The jedi order isn't all bad and there are parts that are worth saving." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks carefully at him. "Really and where would I fall?"

"Before or after I skin the one who did it alive?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka slightly hits his head, noticing the dark look in his eye. "I meant where do I go in your categories?"

"You are worth saving." Blitz says simply.

Ahsoka watches as the dark look goes away as he slightly looks away before she resumes scratching his mane. "You really know how to spin stories from our current ones."

"Like how the jedi know how to create enemies and do dark deeds in the name of 'justice'. Like in the recent war of the Kaleesh and the Huk. The moment the invading slavers come in, the Huk start to lose greatly and the Kaleesh about to go on the offensive, the Huk went to the senate and fabricated a tale that the Kaleesh started the conflict and the republic, without sending anyone to investigate, took the Huk's words at face value and sent a navy and a Jedi task force to intervene. Now with this new force set against them, the Kaleesh were being butchered to the last once more, leaving the republic none the wiser and proving the jedi are either blind or just bloodthirsty once more." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops once more. "And what have you done with this information?"

"Unlike most, the Mandalorian forces have a good amount of informants and spy networks." Blitz says.

Ahsoka leans in a little. "I meant you. What did you do?"

Blitz looks up at her. "Didn't reveal it for one thing. Words of these things got out, the whole life of everyone will fall and we will have a galaxy wide war or maybe the universe if that was possible. I'm not dumb. Besides, your order would fall and the republic would be next for without the order's help, the war will come to a quick close. As the sith has their own inside the military, the republic and jedi order is separated. You see the problem now?"

"So you fear the sith than?" Ahsoka asks.

"No, but I am wary of them as almost all are consumed by rage or hatred and betray everyone eventually." Blitz says.

Ahsoka tilts her head at him. "And us? How about jedi?"

"Most are so corrupt or blinded by your own arrogance that you can't see that your order is no longer what it was meant to be. Now you are fighting a war against those of the separatists. You can't even see that their complaints and anger is justified and the sith have used it to bring about your current situation." Blitz says. Ahsoka stops as she thinks about it. "War has its own life. It's not something that can be controlled that well. You always end up on one side and see it as good while the other is bad. You still have yet to see it haven't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks carefully at him. "What's that?"

Blitz lifts his head up and looks at her. "See why this war is happening by looking at the other side and then check yours again. After that, make your two choices."

Ahsoka frowns. "Why can't there be three?"

"Because the sith have controlled the war from the start. As an outsider looking in, the alliance noticed several things off about it and unless one has been controlling it from the offset, then it makes no sense." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "I thought you said two choices. Why did you say, outsider looking in?"

"Have you ever been sent to one side and told to obey it? I didn't. I got the choice to either or go on my own. Guess being antisocial helped with that." Blitz asks.

Ahsoka chuckles a bit. "You know, this is just like last time, you are starting to make me question everything again." Ahsoka says.

"That just speaks to my argumentative strength." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, looks I have some digging to do when I get back."

"I will give you access to our communications just to check the jedi archives." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Thanks, but I wonder what will others say about me poking around?"

"It's not like the files are restricted. Just buried." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grins. "Then I better go dig it up."

Blitz waited for hours as Ahsoka read from the Jedi Archives, all the while, making sure she didn't communicate with anyone.

"So?" Blitz asks after she finished.

"Compelling, to tell the truth." Ahsoka said.

"Yeah, did you know the sith emperor in the second great hyperspace war, actually returned during it, after being supposedly struck down?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Guess I do need to keep quiet, but there are still question unanswered."

"Do you remember the recent war I pointed out?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Yes, why?"

"Someone you know is a product of it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka becomes interested. "Who?"

"His name itself means despair." Blitz says.

Ahsoka becomes confused. "Well who could…" She stops as another meaning comes to mind. "Griev."

"He who grieves for the warriors and love he lost in his war with the Huk." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks back to him. "So…the jedi order caused this whole thing? Leading up to now?"

"Not the whole thing. My digging discovered that his ship was sabotaged before taking off and he was then picked up by the sith forces, possibly Dooku himself." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Could we have salvaged it?"

"Doubtful, unless one could go back in time and stop Dooku from leading the jedi strike force." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "He what?"

Blitz chuckles a bit. "Yep, he was with you guys once."

"I know that, but…how long has he been a sith?" Ahsoka asks.

"That I cannot say, but…someone is trying to contact you. Answer but don't reveal anything." Blitz says ducking under the bed.

Ahsoka snickers and tries to cover her mouth. "This looks like something a daughter and a boyfriend would be dealing with." She said before answering the call.

"Ahsoka." Obi-Wan answers.

Ahsoka smiled. "Master, can I help you?"

"Have you found anything or anyone that has the clues of the dark side of the force?" He asks.

"Nothing just yet. In fact, I'm letting my ship calculate the best way to enter the atmosphere since there is no spaceport here and thought I would do some research into the history of the order and master, I came across something interesting." Ahsoka says.

"Oh really and what is that?" He asks.

"I was looking around military operations the jedi were involved in the previous years before the clone wars started and during the intervention of the war between the Huk and the Kaleesh. A name came up I think you know well." Ahsoka says.

He leans a bit closer. "And what name is that?"

"General Grievous." Ahsoka says.

Obi Wan narrows his eyes at her. "And just where did you find this information?"

"Here I'm sending you the page now." Ahsoka says sending a page which contained names of the commanders in the war. "Take a look at who the Kaleesh named their general."

Obi Wan takes a look at the names. "Unbelievable. Now I have to take a look at the old wars myself."

"Master, does this mean the jedi created its own worst enemy?" Ahsoka asks.

Obi Wan sighs. "If this is true, then we might have made our own war against us. It can happen if all the old information is true."

"I wonder how the council missed this." Ahsoka asks.

"Our archive is different than theirs, more on the financial side of things than who fought." He said.

"Maybe we should strive to keep better records of such things ourselves, lest we start to fall to the dark side like our forbearers who tried to commit genocide on the sith in the first hyperspace war." Ahsoka says with a sorrowful voice.

Obi Wan watches her carefully. "Well, find the dark user and come on back as soon as possible. Try to stay quiet, unlike last time."

"I still blame master for wanting to blow up the factory." Ahsoka says.

Obi Wan chuckles. "Yes, he does have his style. You still need to develop yours however."

"Understood master." Ahsoka says before Obi-Wan signs off.

"Nicely done." Blitz says coming out after she turned off her communicator.

Ahsoka shrugs. "It's simple when I follow my master's example."

"Your master, I read up on him. He is very skilled but he is also arrogant. That will cost all of you in the long run." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "He's also still leaning."

Blitz was about to say something, but he bites it back. "Look, I can't let you have free roam as you are an alien to the planet, but you conduct your search with me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "So when do we start?"

"Not for a while. I'm going to my summer home after I rest." Blitz says hopping onto the bed.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "So where do I sleep?"

"We are sharing a room like back then." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and lays down on the other side of the bed. "Don't hog the sheets like last time."

"What, I thought you were fine with little coverage?" Blitz jokes.

He only receives a hit on his side. "Shut up."

Blitz chuckles as he feels her get under the covers.

"We got the report on the escort. Done and they are heading back and gave us some of their excess cargo as also payment." A communications officer said as Spike kept staring at the radar map of all his ships.

"Good, have them filled up and ready to go for the next mission when they get back. For now, have them on standby. I got to deal with something." Spike said as he starts to walk away.

"No, no, you can't just eyeball it." Spike hears one of the instructors start lecturing as he passed.

He looks over and sees the instructor with a pirate with a collar around its neck nearby helping out as they taught some of the volunteers and soldiers the kingdoms sent over. "You have to really think. One misstep or bad timing for taking too long or even too short, will cost lives. Now again!" The instructor said as Spike walks in to see him teaching about finding weak spots on ships. "Ah, Lt. Commander." The instructor called him as some of the recruits looked surprised at what the rank for the one who walked in had. "Can I help you?"

Spike shakes his head. "No, continue on." He said with a small smile.

The instructor nods and turns back to the recruits to see a hoof up. "Yes?" He said pointing to the hoof.

"The engine?" He tried.

The instructor just stared before grabbing a ball and throws it and hits the head of the recruit and sends him down. "Your ship is dead and so are you. Again!"

Spike then stops by a gunnery chief lecturing some more recruits. "This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton's First Law?" The Gunnery Chief yells

"Sir! An object in motion stays in motion, sir!" The recruit answers.

"No credit for partial answers, maggot!" Gunnery Chief yells.

"Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, sir!" The recruit finishes.

"Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire a husk of metal, it keeps going until it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you're ruining someone's day somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your fucking targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a fucking firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Flitter, we do not "eyeball it!" This is a weapon of mass destruction. You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip." Gunnery Chief yells.

Spike chuckles before sending the chief something from his omnitool. "I just got word. It seems that the gun and ammo is a bit faster. Must be some new equation system put in. That's another thing. You are going to be learning physics! And I will tell you this, its way harder than college shit itself."

Spike then walks past out of everyone's notice as he heads to the bridge where Ridley was. "I see you haven't left your fleet alone for a while." He said as he walks up to him.

Ridley shrugs. "I have other things to keep an eye on. Yours is still a small fleet so you can have a little off time or let it handle its own way for a long time."

Spike raises an eyebrow. "I hope that doesn't mean plan the next attack."

Ridley scoffs. "Please, I would never. Not when I could die at a moment's notice. I would rather I have some things and do some things that I never could."

"So you hearing some of the lectures going on with the instructors?" Spike asks.

Ridley chuckles darkly. "And loving the torture when they get a wrong answer. I may have come to your side, but I sometimes love a good misery."

Spike shakes his head. "I wouldn't even bother to understand your mind at this point. Want to join me for some lunch? You have been stuck here since everyone has got up."

Ridley holds up an empty bag. "Already had mine here. Why don't you go on? I'm sure your mate is waiting." He said with a smirk.

Spike huffs as he sends some wicks of flames out of his closed mouth. "She's not my mate…well…not yet." He said to himself as he starts to walk to the mess hall.

Grabbing some food and sitting down, Slender walks over to him after getting hers. "So, how did your mission go?" She said as she takes a small look around and notices most of those eating are recruits.

Spike shrugs. "Finished, got paid and got a little extra cargo. I'll tell ya, escort missions are the worst, no matter where it is."

Slender giggles as some recruits casually sit down at their table. "Can you believe that guy? Thinking we don't know much about flying." A pegasus said, barely noticing the rank Spike had on his coat which had a similar look to the recruits'.

"Well we don't know about flying in space." One says as he just kept looking out the window.

A griffon huffs. "Come on, what's so hard? Besides, we got gravity already on the ships. What's the harm in it?"

The pegasus points his fork at him. "I'll tell ya, he thinks we're know nothing's who don't even know the ground style. We have been flying since we were foals."

"And then the power goes out or something hits the drive and the gravity gets turned off. Soon you are floating in space and of course you can use your wings, but you be would like a fish out of water going nowhere." Spike piped up.

The pegasus huffs as he looks at him. "And what do you know little tyke? Come on, tell me these classes suck when we could do it out there at least." He said motioning to the sky.

Spike blows on some meat with his fire before eating it. "I wouldn't know. I'm not in them." He said with his mouth full.

"What?" One asks.

"I was tutored on this stuff one on one before all of this was revealed to the rest of the populace." Spike says.

The griffon shakes his head. "That's impossible. The only one is that giant space dragon and a…little equestrian dragon." He said as he finally realized who it was. He then saluted. "Lt. Commander Spike!" He yells as he tries to stand up, but ends up banging his legs under the table and holds it in pain. "Ow."

Spike just throws a hard piece of meat that hits the griffon in the head and sends him toppling back as the others in the room stand at attention. "One, work on that. Two, you guys are all dead." He called out before everyone hears clicks outside the room and looks to see a line of mandalorians aiming their guns at them.

"He's right. Saluting may seem easy, but you forget that you will also salute during battle. You may be getting that one spot and time that stops your enemy and you miss with it because of it. I am not saying don't salute, I am saying, pay attention." The weapons instructor yells to the room.

"Ouch, even him." The pegasus says.

The griffon groans as he gets up and sits down again as does everyone else and the mandalorians leaves. "Okay, was not excepting the Lt. Commander to be here."

Spike huffs as he keeps eating. "You guys really don't get it, do you?"

The pegasus looks carefully at him. "Get what?"

Spike narrows his eyes at them. "The reason they are teaching you from scratch is because when you're out there, things can go anywhere and you won't have control. The reason they go so hard is because when you are entering that situation, you have to act fast, act hard and act accurately. One small misstep can cost you your life. Perhaps the lives that are on the ship with you and you could have prevented it. These teachings will save your life and many others, don't forget that part. I except you all to pay attention when you go back and really show them what this planet can do. I did, a little baby dragon made it this far, why can't grown pegasus and griffons do the same? Heck, why not all of us?" He said before picking up his plate and heading away while putting the plate near the trash bin. "Come on Slender."

"Coming." Slender calls as she does the same and follows him, leaving behind a stunned room.

Blitz starts to wake up groggy as he feels something holding him around his stomach. "Wha…oh no." He said to himself as he looks down and sees a certain arm. "Okay, I can get…okay I can't." He said to himself as the arm tightened around him. "Ahsoka, time to wake up." He tries to call to her.

Ahsoka moans a bit. "Cute ears." She mumbles.

"Ahsoka, wake up, your daughter was just born." Blitz says snickering.

Ahsoka snorts as she quickly got up. "What?!"

"Could you let go now?" Blitz asks now off the bed completely as she was still holding him.

Ahsoka looks to him before blushing and letting him go. "Sorry."

"Starting to think you like me a lot." Blitz says groggily and feels around for the coffee maker all the while putting on an amusing show for Ahsoka.

Ahsoka was still blushing, but almost snickered at his attempts to get some coffee. "Can't use a syringe like last time?" She asks, trying to hold her laughter.

"I was made to swear off those. Now where are you?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka now giggles as he reaches for the toaster and puts his hoof inside. "OW!" Blitz yells as he pulls his hoof back. "That is definitely not the coffee."

"Here, let me help." Ahsoka says walking over and getting it.

Blitz groans as he walks over to her. "Thanks. I haven't slept well enough in a while anyway, so forgive me if I blow something up by walking near it."

"Can't be any worse than when you got glitter all of your pillow that one time." Ahsoka says chuckling causing Blitz to grumble.

Blitz sighs. "That was because of that merchant. I didn't know it got stuck on me."

"Really, I thought it was your subspecies equivalent of wetting the bed." Ahsoka says snickering.

Blitz blushes. "No it's not."

Ahsoka grabs the two cups and bends down and pokes his horn. "Yeah it is. Right here, isn't it?"

"Why you…" Blitz stops, taking a deep breathe.

"So why not sign up to fight in the war with us as a mercenary?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz stays quiet.

Ahsoka watches him carefully. "You don't want to, do you?"

Blitz takes the cup. "It won't be any different than what it is now."

"At least you would be there with me." Ahsoka says.

Blitz frowns. "But it won't be any closer. As much as we want it to be."

"I know, but at least we would be better off and Rex would have someone who appreciates coffee like him." Ahsoka says smirking.

"Yes, together we will expand the church of coffee!" Blitz says in an overly dramatic way.

Ahsoka giggles before realizing another meaning. "Let's say, in a hypothetical world, I left the order, would you take me in?"

"Faster than the jedi would give up on you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled as she starts to drink. "You really want to take care of others that are close to you, don't you?"

Blitz smirks as he takes a sip. "Of course, I take care of all my friends and family."

"Oh, proposal accepted." Ahsoka joked causing Blitz to spit out his coffee and choke.

Blitz pounds his chest a bit. "What?"

Ahsoka smirks. "Didn't you just propose, didn't you?"

"Your screwing with me, aren't you?" Blitz says blushing madly.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Oh yeah, I knew you were kidding. It's nice to talk normally than just the talk about how something is the whole time and nothing else."

Blitz nods as his blush goes down and he tries to drink. "Yeah, how's your meditation go?" He asks mockingly. "Did you do your multitasking training?" He asks again in the same tone.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "At least I'm past that area now. Just from time to time."

Blitz sighs. "Good, it got annoying back then." Blitz says taking another sip

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, now, how would you like to screw?" She asks with a smirk.

Blitz spits out his drink again and coughs.

Ahsoka laughs as he pounds his chest again. "Kidding Blitz. Just messing with you."

Blitz glares at her. "I hate you."

"I know. I find you adorable too." Ahsoka says.

Blitz grumbles as he blushes and looks away. "Dang it Ahsoka."

"Oh come here." Ahsoka says picking him up and pets his mane.

Blitz blushes a bit more as he was carried. "I'm not a foal here. Put me down now."

Ahsoka shakes her head and keeps petting him. "Nope, you're getting petted and you will like it."

"What are you, my wife?" Blitz asks smirking, noticing she stiffened a bit.

It was Ahsoka's turn to blush now. "Um…"

"Put me down."

"Putting you down." She said putting him down.

"That is what I thought." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns a bit. "Since when do you get so grumpy with this stuff?"

"I'm not grumpy and it seems I do the jedi mind trick better than you." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka kicks him slightly. "Don't go that far. I'm still the user here."

"And remember last time you tried it on me?" Blitz asks. Ahsoka frowns. "You will stop doing stupid things like this." He said waving his hoof in front of him before chuckling.

Ahsoka points at him. "Don't disrespect me."

"I'm not, I just demonstrated I'm not weak minded." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and covers her face. "I hate you Blitz."

"I find you adorable too." Blitz says smirking getting a giggle from her.

Ahsoka sighs and looks to him. "I really miss you Blitz."

"And you're happy you finally know my real name now?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, it was getting awkward calling you Cross."

"To tell the truth, I nearly forgot what my name was." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "And what made you remember?"

"Minerva, my computer system's name, constantly telling me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Well, it's good that the AI constantly used your name. It sounds cuter."

"Yeah, yeah, let's go to the transport ride to the house." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, but can I have weapons back?"

"What do you think?" Blitz asks altering his voice to be a little more frenchy.

Ahsoka sighs. "Dang you Cross." She said playfully.

"Now all I need is a stupid moustache and a cat in my lap." Blitz says in the same tone.

"Ok, stop with the insulting fake accent." Ahsoka says giggling a bit.

"What, I didn't surrender fast enough?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka groans. "Let's just go before you come up with more stupid ideas."

"Oh I thought you like that." Blitz says putting his armor on.

Ahsoka frowns. "Actually hated is more like it. That was bad."

"Oh, you're hurtin ma feelin now." Blitz says a southern accent coming out.

Ahsoka shakes her head as he puts the helmet on. "Yeah, you suck at it."

"Actually, that was my native accent. Was raised by farmers." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Ironically enough was picked up by the fett clan of mandalorians. You know what that translates into?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "What is it?"

"Farmers." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Shouldn't we get going?"

"We are walking, aren't we?" Blitz say walking to where the Darkstar One was and sees the engineers at work. "I'll get my speeder bike and don't laugh like last time you saw me drive one." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Please, you smashed yourself into a wall. How could I not laugh?"

Blitz groans as he gets his bike and leads it into the Darkstar with Ahsoka behind him. "Simple, don't laugh."

"You know, I just noticed this is a new ship." Ahsoka says.

"Was a prototype I stole years ago, ok?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "It looks good."

Blitz sighs as he gets on the speeder bike. "Yeah, still not the same yet. But it will be soon once we get back."

Ahsoka leans on the seat. "And what's that?"

Blitz grins. "You'll see." He said as they are dropped onto the ground and take off.

"Now which one is the carrot?" Twilight asks with three cards in front of Arcane, each with a different picture.

Arcane looks at each one before pointing to the middle.

"That's a cow Arcane sweetie, try again." Twilight says nuzzling his nose.

Arcane keeps looking before pointing to the left.

"That's right." Twilight says smiling.

Arcane cheers and hugs her leg.

Twilight smiled and hugs him back as Applejack walks up. "Come on Twi, let him learn at school."

"I can teach my son if I want, isn't that right my smart little foal?" Twilight asks before nuzzling him again. Arcane giggles and tries to nuzzle her back. "See, he likes it."

Applejack sighs. "Oh brother. At least give him a chance in school."

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Fine, just for social reasons."

Applejack chuckles. "Yeah, social."

"Now Arcane, which one is an apple?" Twilight asks bringing out three new cards and Arcane picked the wrong one.

Applejack smirks. "Still want to send for social reasons?"

"He is a foal who just started. Now Arcane, try again." Twilight says sweetly and he points at Applejack.

Applejack laughs out loud. "Oh boy. He's right on that one. He's an Apple alright." She said while laughing.

Twilight says nothing and hit her in the face with a pillow using her magic.

Applejack was still laughing as Arcane giggles and claps along. "Oh boy. That was a bad question with an Apple in the room Twi. Now I got to get Blazer his medicine." She said getting up and walking away.

"How is he? Still fighting that cold?" Twilight asks.

Applejack nods. "Yeah, probably from trying to hear us at night and not sleeping. I told that boy to sleep, but does he listen, nope. At least he's able to sleep now. I should probably give him a stuffed animal too. He's starting to talk to his knives and actually sleep with them."

"Ok, that is unhealthy an…" Twilight starts before Minerva interrupts.

"Oh, he does that too?" Minerva asks.

They all look at her. "What?" The mares asks.

"Oh, Blitzy did that all the time when he got a new weapon." Minerva says.

The mares just either get confused or annoyed. "Really?" They asked.

Minerva giggles. "Oh yeah. Treats it like his own foal."

Applejack facehooves. "Blazer better not be following that example."

"I think he already is." Pinkie says bouncing through with Sunshine.

Applejack shakes her head. "Oh boy. Can we at least find a way to deal with that?"

"The best way is to let them grow out of it." Minerva said.

Twilight groans. "Somehow, I don't think that's possible with this family. It's always crazy."

"Ok, I'll be with Blazer." Applejack says.

Twilight sighs as Arcane gets on her head now as she gets up. "Okay, I think this calls for some food." She said starting to walk to the kitchen. "Minerva, want something?"

"Nothing really, though I maybe should inform you of…but then again Blitzy might want to inform you himself." Minerva says before starting to ramble.

Twilight tilts her head. "Inform us of what?" She asks herself before heading into the kitchen and places Arcane on the table. "Wait here while mommy gets you something, okay?" Arcane just nods and kisses her nose. Twilight giggles and kisses his head before looking around for anything.

"No Ahsoka, we cannot stop by one of the settlements. We are cloaked and the citizens are mostly not ready to see an alien yet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Come on, where's that rule breaker Cross go to from way back then?"

"You want the local to come at you with pitch forks and other farming equipment?" Blitz asks

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Nope, had enough with a planet me and my master crashed on."

"Yeah, I thought as mu…what?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks at him. "What?"

"Go back, what was that about you being attacked with farming equipment?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka tries to look innocent. "Well, they mainly hated violence until the droids came over. Their lives went out the window with that."

"Following you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, accidental warp."

Blitz looks at her intently. "Ahsoka, what is one of the saying of the jedi?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka chuckles nervously. "Um…don't lie?"

"There are no coincidences, there is the…" Blitz stops.

Ahsoka sighs. "Okay, the clankers just came down to the planet for a testing of their new weapon. Kinda destroys a large part of the land by fire. They didn't even know we were there."

"So?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka stares at him. "You think our good friend, the force, lead us there?"

"I'm not saying anything." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her before watching the landscape pass by. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka takes a glance at him. "Do you wish…that things were different?"

"What, you think of defecting?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, I really can't. But do you wish it was different?"

"…Maybe." Blitz says after staying silent for a while.

Ahsoka watches him for a bit before sighing. "So do I."

"We are heading for trees, watch your head." Blitz says.

Ahsoka ducks down as he keeps riding. "Sometimes…I guess it's better to leave."

"So you contemplating the order?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "It's starting to get closer."

"This from my argument?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka stayed silent for a bit. "And my own thinking over time."

"Things not as simple as you once thought?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, really worried about what the others might think of me at this point. I'm really trying to figure out why."

"Do what you think is right. If they look down on you for it, than they are not worth it." Blitz says trying to comfort her.

Ahsoka looks carefully at him. "And you? What would you think?"

"It's your life, you should choose how you want to live." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, still…it feels like something is still there."

Blitz stays silent as he keep driving until a cottage like building starts to come into view.

Ahsoka looks ahead and sees it. "Huh, kinda considered mud huts for some reason."

"We are starting to go into space, you really think we would have those?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smirks. "I have seen places built into rocks and still have high end space travel."

"Point taken." Blitz says stopping beside the house.

Ahsoka looks to the house. "So who's here?"

Blitz shrugs as he gets off. "How would I know? I'm just the advisor and helper."

"I don't even need the force to call bull on that." Ahsoka says before picking him up and holding him like a stuffed animal again.

Blitz frowns as he sighs. "Okay, this is getting problematic now. I can't teach you or do my job if you keep picking me up."

"I'm carrying because of two reasons. One, you lied to me. Second, you are just too cute when you are pouting like this." Ahsoka says smirking.

Blitz just crosses his forelegs and frowns at her. "Put me down, now."

"Nope." Ahsoka says before walking up to the door and knocking and going back to petting him.

Blitz groans. "Okay, I would really like it if you put me down, because it's a bad idea at this point. You won't know how the ones inside may react."

"Oh, my curiosity is peaked." Ahsoka says as someone approaches the door.

Blitz faces hooves as the door opens and Fluttershy opens the door. "Ye…AH!" She yelled as she saw what was holding Blitz and immediately turned to Flutterbat. "Let him go!"

"Flutter, it's ok. She is an old friend who likes to hold anything she finds cute like this." Blitz says annoyed.

Ahsoka just eyes the fangs. "Should I be worried?"

"No, unless you are an apple…wait, that came out wrong." Blitz says noticing the look in Fluttershy's eyes.

Ahsoka looks a bit confused. "So what are we doing here exactly?"

"You are staying here so I can keep an eye on you." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka smirks a bit. "So where do I put you down?"

Blitz still frowns. "Couch."

Ahsoka smiled as she walks in and sits down with him in her lap now. "Okay, now what are you going to do?"

"Other than humiliate me?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka keeps petting him. "Yeah, so what are you going to do?"

Blitz was about to say something when he hears a coo and looks down to see Arcane. Blitz smiled and lifts him up and into his hooves with his magic. "Hey there. How are you doing?" He asks tickling his stomach.

"Huh, who is that?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz smiled as Arcane laughed. "My son. My good little son." He said nuzzling him.

"Son!?" Ahsoka says surprised.

Blitz smirks. "Did I forget to mention I'm married?"

"Yes!" Ahsoka yells.

"Wasn't originally my idea." Blitz says before starting to explain how he ended up married.

"So the female population is that much greater than the male huh?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep and I ain't complaining. Got a bunch of great wives and foals too. Along with an adopted one too."

"Pardon me love, but Blazer is down with a cold." Fluttershy says shyly.

Blitz looks to her. "Really, well how is he?"

Fluttershy scraps the floor with her hoof shyly. "In bed, talking to his swords now. Twilight thinks he's delusional now."

Blitz says nothing as he glares at the snickering Ahsoka.

Ahsoka tries to look innocent. "Hey, come on. You use to do it. How could I not laugh?"

Blitz grumbles as he mutters something as Arcane tried to imitate his expression.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Aw, looks who's trying to look like his father."

"Watch yourself, he is a prince." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled as Arcane looks at her and she pets his head a little. "Well he's a cute one."

"Not even a year old, unlike my eldest." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Eldest?"

"He is my second child." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just ends up confused. "How does that work out?"

"Arcane was born second, making him the second of my children." Blitz says as Arcane climbs onto Blitz's head.

Ahsoka frowns a little. "I meant your eldest."

"Well his mother isn't the same as Arcane's here." Blitz explains.

Ahsoka sighs. "Now you're confusing the heck out of me."

"Arcane's mother is named Twilight and my eldest's mother is named Octavia. He is an around half a year older than Arcane here by this planet's time." Blitz explains.

Ahsoka looks carefully at them. "You sure you told them everything?"

"They have met face to face and Twilight shares responsibility to raise Azure as much as Octavia is obligated to raise Arcane here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka still watches the. "I meant your life."

"They know quite a bit…" Blitz goes quiet.

"Some more than others." Fluttershy says meekly.

Ahsoka looks to her. "And what is he to you?"

"My husband, but to Applejack he was a cousin before her husband." Fluttershy says hiding partially behind her mane.

Ahsoka looks back to him with a certain look.

"Adopted and don't give me that look, I explained it to you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "You are leading a strange life."

"Tell me about pot." Blitz says.

Ahsoka finally puts him down. "So what now?"

"I'm going to spend some time with my family. Now please let me go so I can go and see my adopted son Blazer." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "I just did." She said showing her open hands.

"You manipulative little…" Blitz stops as he secures Arcane to his head with his magic and jumps off.

Ahsoka smirks. "Be nice."

"I am to my children." Blitz says as Arcane hung on as he headed upstairs before Ahsoka turned to the only pony left in the room and smirked.

Blitz stops outside Blazer's room and knocks on the door.

"Come in." A tired voice said.

Blitz walks in to see Applejack and a sleeping Blazer. "Hey, you okay?"

Applejack nods. "Yeah, he just went to sleep."

"I see, that's good." Blitz says sitting next to her.

They both watch Blazer as he slept with his swords nearby. "How long have you slept with your guns?" She asks after a while.

Blitz lowers his head in humiliation.

Applejack chuckles. "I'm guessing a long time."

"He improved any Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "He seems to be getting better, but there are still some things he's going through. Sniffles, coughs, dry throat, simple things."

"I see. You have been feeding him meat like I told you to, right?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Trying. It's hard to feed him at the farm."

"Here?" Blitz asks as he feels her lean against him.

Applejack sighs. "Trying to get him here all the time, but I think its best he stays in the castle at this point. We can't keep doing it at the farm."

"That is fine, but you have to visit him every so often and be one of his mothers." Blitz says as Arcane coos at Applejack.

Applejack smiles as she looks at Arcane. "Still wearing the hat I see. And I will see to it that I'm like a mother to him."

"Good. Also we have a guest/prisoner." Blitz says.

Applejack looks to him. "Oh really, who?"

"A jedi. So she is an alien." Blitz says.

Applejack looks carefully at him. "So you know her?"

"Remember, I told you about a certain jedi?" Blitz asks.

Applejack tilts her head. "So you just left her in a cell somewhere?"

"She is downstairs. We struck an accord. She searches for what she was sent to search for and in exchange, she doesn't try and contact her order and inform them of this. Because if that happened, the republic and separatist will try and pull us into their war as our system is very resource rich." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Just try and keep her away from the foals."

"Too late, she already petted Arcane." Blitz says.

Applejack shakes her head. "Oh boy. Now I really have to watch her." Blitz grumbles again. "What did she do to you?" Applejack asks now smirking as she knew that tone.

"Nothing." Blitz says.

Applejack chuckles as she wraps a hoof around him. "Oh Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says frowning.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says frowning harder.

Applejack shakes her head. "You are needing a hug Blitzy. Come on, give one here."

"No." Blitz says frowning even harder as Applejack's smirk grew bigger.

"Please shut up." Blazer moaned as he turned over.

"Sorry son." Blitz says patting his head.

Blazer moans as he tries to look at him. "Don't you guys every quiet down? It sounds like a megaphone in my ear."

"Don't worry, we will go and let you rest and we will be sending your lunch up soon." Blitz whispers.

Blazer nods and turns back around. "Get going."

"Alright, now don't kiss your swords goodnight." Blitz whispers as he gets Applejack to move.

Blazer just grumbles.

As they walked down the steps Applejack started to pry again.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says frowning again.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says now scowling on the couch as Ahsoka was outside petting Fluttershy.

Applejack chuckles and keeps nuzzling him. "You need to really talk more."

Blitz grumbles again as Twilight comes down the stairs yawning. "Morning everypony and…what or who is that?" She asks seeing Ahsoka.

Ahsoka smiled and waved at her. "Hello, Ahsoka Tano."

Twilight tries to wave back. "Blitz!" She calls.

"He's over here being adorable in his grumblings." Applejack says.

Twilight quickly walks over to the pouting stallion. "What the heck is she doing here?" She hisses with a real hiss at the end.

Blitz just glares a bit at Applejack. "Visiting or rather on a mission to find a dark magic user in a sense."

"It's the force. Please call it that, I don't want her to go on a rant about how they are different." Blitz says.

Twilight hisses. "Blitz, why here?"

"I don't want her out of my sight." Blitz grumbles getting Twilight curious as to why he is like that.

Twilight frowns. "And why is that? Why not a mandalorian?"

"Because she has a technique called jedi mind trick." Blitz says.

"Don't mind him, he is just pouting from something I'm trying to find out about." Applejack says.

"I am not." Blitz says.

Applejack pokes him. "Yes you are."

"No I'm not." Blitz says.

"Yes you are." Twilight joins in. Blitz frowns and just pouts between them. "Blitzy." They said poking him.

"No." Blitz says trying to keep a straight face.

"Blitzy." Ahsoka pipes up.

"No!" Blitz says.

"Oh, are you still mad when I carried you around like a stuffed animal?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz frowns and sticks his tongue out at her.

"Well now." Twilight says smirking.

Blitz groans. "No!"

"Oh, wait till we tell the others about this one." Applejack says smirking.

Blitz rolls his eyes and sighs. "I'm getting tired of this."

"Welcome to marriage life." Twilight says getting Arcane to cheer for her by picking him up.

Blitz looks to him. "You're supposed to be on my side." He said poking his stomach.

"Well he is his mother's son." Twilight says sticking out her tongue.

Blitz frowns. "And he is my son as well."

"Well he's a momma's boy, aren't you?" Twilight asks before raspberrying Arcane's stomach.

Arcane laughs and giggles as Blitz shakes his head. "Does anyone have aspirin? I feel a headache."

"I got something better." Ahsoka says before scratching his mane.

Blitz sighs in relief. "A little to the left."

Ahsoka smirks as she had him.

The mares glare at her.

"The benefit of having fingers girls." Minerva says walking up

Ahsoka looks over as she kept scratching. "Ah Minerva. Nice to see you again. Though a body now? What took ya?"

"The price and finding a good manufacturer." Minerva says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "So?" She asks pointing to Blitz.

"I spent most of the bounties Blitzy caught here to order it." Minerva says smiling.

Ahsoka looks to Blitz before looking at Minerva. "And how do you…?"

"This one has quite interesting powers, now, I am a cyborg." Minerva says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Really, how much of it?"

"Sixty percent organic." Minerva says.

Blitz leans in more to the scratching. "Still haven't spent more time with her yet. Planning too though."

"Oh, I'm up for a ni…" Minerva is interrupted by Applejack.

"I'm next." Applejack says.

Minerva groans. "Dang it."

"Isn't that right love?" Applejack says leaning against him.

Blitz was still staring at Minerva. "Still debating." Applejack smacks him with her hat. "Joking." Blitz says.

Minerva smiled sadly as she walks over to him and nuzzles him. "Still want a night."

"Then take tomorrow's." Applejack says.

Minerva giggles. "I would like that."

"Whoa, you are so whipped Blitz." Ahsoka says smirking.

Blitz pushes her slightly. "Shut up."

"So you four are his wives, who are the rest if you four are not it?" Ahsoka asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Busy with other stuff. Not here now and some are traveling."

"She want to know the names girls." Blitz says.

Twilight started to list off the names that made Ahsoka stop at each one. "Wait, so you got three fangers?"

"Oh the irony." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "I thought you hated and feared them?"

"That is why I said, oh the irony." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You certainly do have a way with others."

"More like they are attracted to my sexiness." Blitz says striking a ridiculous pose.

They all slap him behind the head. "Shut up."

"Even Ahsoka isn't immune." Blitz says and gets forced pushed.

"Didn't they said to shut up?" She asks.

"Well at least Arcane found it funny." Blitz says as Arcane is laughing and clapping.

Ahsoka smiled and picked him up. "Ah, he's so cute."

"And Twilight there is his protective mother." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "Still cute." She said as he giggled.

Twilight growls at her as Blitz gets up. "Twi, can you have them prepare some cooked meat to go along with Blazer's soup. He could really use the protein." Blitz says.

Twilight hisses at her before leaving, leaving Ahsoka confused a bit. "Do you guys hiss a lot?"

"No, that is just Twi." Applejack says.

Ahsoka just looks at Blitz for an explanation.

"Let's just say that the galaxies records of the planets inhabitants are incomplete." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head at him as she kept petting Arcane who leans into the petting.

"And that is their prince, so try not to hurt him or the three hanging from the ceiling will try and attack you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka quickly looks up and stops petting as she sees blue eyes and insects chitter at her. "Wha…?"

"Changelings, an insect species of this planet that can shapeshift." Blitz explains.

The changelings chitter some more as they eye her. "Um…why here?"

"Because Twi is their Queen." Blitz says.

Ahsoka still eyed them as one was now crawling away and two more took its place. "They won't…attack me…will they?"

"Not unless you attack the King, Queen, or Prince." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "King?"

"Well you call the husband of the queen that." Blitz say.

Ahsoka's eyes widen. "You're king?"

"Well, Twi became their queen after she married me so I became king as a conquincidence." Blitz says.

Ahsoka now just raises an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yeah. Isn't that right Twi?" Blitz asks petting her.

Twilight hisses at her again.

"Twi." Blitz says shaking her a bit, getting her to stop hissing.

Twilight clicks her tongue. "Make sure she doesn't harm him and we would be fine."

"She not Twi." Blitz says petting her again.

Twilight purrs at his touch as she leans in a bit more. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiled. "Can you check on something for me?"

"What is it?" Blitz asks petting her more.

Twilight smirks as she look to him. "Check on the breeding chambers for me. I haven't heard from them in a while."

"Ah, I can't do that Twi." Blitz says blushing madly.

Twilight giggles as she wraps a hoof around. "Aw, don't worry. I know you won't join in anything."

Blitz face went a full blush at those words.

Twilight giggles some more. "Just go check on your subjects sweetie, okay?"

Blitz did the only thing he could think of at the moment and collapsed into unconsciousness.

Twilight sighs as she looks at him. "Still embarrassed over public style action."

"Twi, I don't think he will ever be ok with them." Applejack says.

Twilight grins. "I'm not. Besides, he like being in the same room as them one time."

"No, he likes being with you in a room." Applejack corrects.

Twilight giggles. "Yet he also likes sleeping with us with more than one at a time."

"But he can't take porn of any kind." Fluttershy whispered into Twilight's ear.

Twilight stares at her. "He took you."

"I tried to show him some of that to try to turn him on, this is what happened." Fluttershy whispered.

Twilight sighs. "He'll come around one day."

"Not likely." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka just stared at them. "You guys are crazy."

"Comes with the terrioto…" Twilight starts.

"Blitzy I'm home!" Vinyl calls, kicking open the door.

Twilight points to her. "See."

"So which one is she?" Ahsoka asks as Vinyl walks in half drunk.

Applejack sighs. "Our usually drunk DJ wife."

"Who is a half vampire." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks to Vinyl as she stumbles her way over to them. "What's up guys? Wear Blitz out again?"

"He's on the floor right there." Twilight says.

Vinyl laughs as she falls to the floor next to him. "Hiya Blitzy."

"He is asleep." Twilight says.

Vinyl groans. "Dang it." She said before snoring out loud.

"Push her into him." Fluttershy says.

They push Vinyl a bit and she wraps her hooves around Blitz as they slept.

"Pay up." Fluttershy says holding out a hoof.

Applejack grumbles as she gives some bits to her.

"And you?" Fluttershy asks Twilight.

Twilight hisses at her before giving her some bits.

"Thank you." Fluttershy says happily as they hear Octavia. "Really Vinyl, can't even help me get Azure out?" Octavia asks walking in with Azure closing the door behind her.

Twilight smiled. "Ah, good. You're here too."

"Yeah, so is Blitz baccccccccc…what is that?" Octavia asks seeing Ahsoka.

Twilight looks between the both of them. "Alien."

"Old friend of Blitz who Twi made faint and Vinyl collapsed onto him on the floor." Minerva says.

Octavia groans. "Dang it Vinyl."

"Arcane, look who is here." Twilight says bringing him over to Azure.

They both cheer as they run off and start to play together.

"Twi, please stop trying to do that with him. Didn't you learn anything from our wedding night?" Applejack asks.

Twilight huffs. "I just want all of us to have a good time. Together." She said stressing the last word.

"He had nine nosebleeds and fainted twice." Applejack says.

"I only fainted once." Fluttershy says.

Twilight blushes from embarrassment as Ahsoka giggled. "Boy, when did he become a lightweight?"

"He could barely talk to mares when he wasn't in his armor when we first met. Expect for Applejack, because he grew up with her briefly." Twilight says as Octavia looks over Ahsoka.

Ahsoka nods. "That would explain the stutter I heard from time to time from him. Even with armor on."

"Picture him barely able to talk to other females." Applejack says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "I'm female. He probably had a hard time even trying to come up with something."

"No, I mean if he didn't have his armor on around you, he probably would have been tripping over his words and everything." Applejack says.

Ahsoka still chuckles. "At least he's working on it."

"Yeah, he can at least show us a great night, but he can't take others doing that." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Pity, he would probably have more fun doing that."

"No one is more disappointed than our most perverted member…Fluttershy." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks to her and sees her hide behind her mane a little. "Um…?"

"Always the quiet ones. Like I bet there is someone on your jedi council who is a massive pervert." Vinyl says, making everyone nearly jump.

Ahsoka just watched her carefully. "Um…how long were you awake? And what do you know of the council?"

"Never went to sleep and I know because I researched you jedi." Vinyl says hiccupping.

Ahsoka just raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh."

"Now, I'm off to bed with my pillow here." Vinyl says dragging Blitz along as she walks off, swaying drunkenly.

Ahsoka just watches as she leaves. "That one is a few bottles short of a mind."

"No comment." The mares say together.

Ahsoka then looks to Fluttershy. "And what do they mean perverted?"

Fluttershy just pushes her hooves together as she blushes hot red.

"Ok, you can open your eyes now love." Vinyl says losing her drunken voice immediately.

Blitz sighs in relief as he opens his eyes. "If I have to keep using this trick, I might as well be making a brand new drug while I'm at it."

"Then Daring will beat you down." Vinyl says smirking, causing Blitz to chuckle nervously.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, she would. And probably destroy the whole case and all the drugs she can find while she's at it."

"So?" Vinyl asks smirking.

"What?" Blitz asks.

"Where is my reward?" Vinyl asks showing her fangs.

Blitz groans. "Fine. Just let me get on the bed first. I have had a heck of a day." He said getting on the bed.

"I could hold you." Vinyl says smiling.

Blitz smiled as he settled down on the bed and Vinyl gets on herself. "I'm supposed to be doing that."

"Well you want to sleep." Vinyl says poking her nose to his.

Blitz shakes his head and boops her nose back with his. "I'm not now."

"Ok then, let me do this." Vinyl says mounting him.

Blitz chuckles as she leans down and starts to lick his neck. "Since when did you become so frisky?"

"Since I'm getting impatient even though I have Azure." Vinyl whispers before sinking her teeth in.

Blitz winces a bit before sighing and wrapping his forelegs around her. "Love you." He whispered back.

Vinyl just keeps sucking.

"I'm bored." Apple Bloom said as she leans on the windowsill like a ragdoll.

"Your punishment is not over yet." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom groans. "Can't I at least have my omnitool back?"

"That is up to Applejack." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom looks back at him. "Well what about Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo? Can't they at least come over once in a while?"

"They do." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom frowns. "I meant with at least staying a while. Come on, Spike gets more time."

"Well y'all should have thought of that before runnin off without tellin anypony." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom now really frowns at him. "Come on, what would you wouldn't do for your friend?"

"Told somepony first." Big Mac says putting up his load of apples.

Apple Bloom rolls her eyes and looks out the window again and stayed silent a bit as Big Mac started to cook something up. "At least he comes around once in a while." She suddenly said.

"Y'all think Applejack will come back pregnant this time?" Big Mac asks.

Apple Bloom shrugs. "Maybe, just give it time. Why? Want to be an uncle to the little one once it's born?"

"Nah, she just seems to be tryin hard at it." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom shrugs again. "She was the second choose, what do you expect?"

"Ah, she is the second in charge you mean." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom nods. "Yeah, in a sense."

Big Mac looks to her as she kept watching out the window. "Why don't ya help me? It may help once you are with somepony?"

"Like you and Soarin?" Apple Bloom asks.

Big Mac freezes up and blushes. "Um…nope."

"Uh huh?" Apple Bloom asks.

Big Mac frowns to her. "And what about you and that dragon?"

"At least I'm not gay." Apple Bloom mutters.

'She is definitely entering that rebellious age.' Big Mac says.

"So…you left to help a local dragon deal with emotional problems?" Rarity's dad asks Sweetie Belle.

"Yes." Sweetie Belle says getting poked by the needle as Rarity uses her as a model.

Rarity's mom looks to her husband before looking back at her. "Is he cute?"

"Don't encourage her." Rarity says.

Sweetie Belle frowns at her. "Hey, I will like who I want."

"Not on that. You are still grounded for worrying me to death." Rarity says.

Sweetie Belle huffs as she stomps a hoof. "You know that once I'm older here, I can go out how long I want. You can go however long you want and do you see me worrying that much about you? You don't even tell me."

"Actually I do." Rarity says.

Sweetie Belle frowns. "No, you say 'Sweetie Belle, I'm going out. Watch the store. Don't know when I'll be back.' That's what your excuse is always when you go somewhere, sometimes across the country."

"I give you fair warning. The only time was with the Nightmare Moon incident." Rarity says working on the collar.

Sweetie Belle huffs. "You really like not being worried, but you can make others worry like crazy."

'She has definitely entered that phase.' All three of the members of her family think.

Scootaloo grumbles as she sat down on the hill. "Alright, got the broad game." Rainbow said coming with a box.

"These two don't give you a break do they?" Scootaloo asks as Spectrum and Blast were climbing all over her.

Rainbow giggles. "They're my pride and joy. Of course they don't, but it's worth it. Right guys?" Both cheer and they make Scootaloo's wings extended. "You know Scoots, your wings have really developed. Perhaps you are ready to fly." Rainbow says.

Scootaloo looks to them. "I doubt it."

"I think they are. After all, look at Roidrage." Rainbow says.

Scootaloo raises an eyebrow. "I don't think I will."

"Oh really, I guess you won't impress Spike that way then." Rainbow says playing on her ego.

Scootaloo frowns. "I'm going to impress him a lot of ways."

"It's ok if you can't impress him with flying." Rainbow says egging her on more.

Scootaloo huffs. "I'm going to impress him and you'll see it's not just flying."

"I know, I know, but if you can't do it?" Rainbow turning around to not let Scootaloo see her smirk.

"I will show you. I will fly!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

'She has so entered that phase.' Rainbow thinks as the foals hugs her.

"I'm not sure which is better, the feeling of being drunk or the feeling of us making love." Vinyl says as she runs her hoof over Blitz's scared chest.

Blitz smiled as he rubs her mane. "Yeah, guess love is better, but sometimes it doesn't beat a good drink."

"You are the best ever." Vinyl says.

"Oh, then you don't want to share a drink with me later? I got a drink from trading with the alliance." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks up at him. "Oh, what kind?"

"Turian style brandy, but safe for us to drink." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins. "How's the taste?"

"Don't know, haven't tried it yet." Blitz says smirking.

Vinyl giggles. "Where is it?"

"Nuh uh, got to wait for me love." Blitz says.

Vinyl frowns. "For what?"

"For your brandy. After all, I want the full moon to be out tonight and us sitting outside enjoying the last night before winter sets in." Blitz says.

Vinyl hissed quietly. "That sounds good."

Blitz smiles and kisses her lightly. "Ok love." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles as she keeps stroking his chest. "You better get back out there. No telling what they are doing to each other."

"You mean how it has gone so quiet?" Blitz asks nibbling on her ear lightly.

Vinyl twitches her other ear at him. "Yeah, too quiet. You don't think Twilight killed her, did she?"

"Oh heck no. The house wouldn't still be standing if they fought." Blitz says confidently while pulling her tail playfully with his magic.

Vinyl hissed at him. "I don't think so. Twilight can be very careful with things, even fighting."

"But Ahsoka…yeah, not so much and she has a lot more power than you think." Blitz says seriously.

Vinyl points to the door. "Then why don't you go check?"

"Only if you come with me." Blitz says.

Vinyl groans. "Too tired. You deal with it."

"Oh too bad and here I had Twi pick up a load of cinnamon bread." Blitz says getting up.

Vinyl's head shot up. "Cinnamon bread?"

"Yep." Blitz says walking.

Vinyl quickly jumps out of bed and lands beside him and starts following him. "That sounds good."

"I know my wives. You sure your fangs were not replaced with sweet teeth in a reincarnation?" Blitz asks smirking.

Vinyl grins and hugs him and licks his neck. "I like one right here."

"Oh the corniness. If Octy ever heard that, she would never let you live it down." Blitz says walking out.

Vinyl rushes and catches up to him, but as they enter the living room, they find Ahsoka holding and petting Twilight who was enjoying it greatly.

"Vinyl, go crazy with your teasing." Blitz instructs.

"Aw, look at the little pony." Vinyl starts saying in a foal's voice. "Who likes to be petted, you are, yes you are." She said pointing.

Blitz stands just out of sight as Vinyl keeps going. He look around the kitchen and tries to find something to eat before a magical blast was heard and Vinyl was sent into the kitchen. "How many insults did you do?" He asks casually as he opened the fridge and tries to find some eggs as Vinyl's tail hangs in the way.

"Twenty three and totally worth it." Vinyl answers.

Blitz nods as he takes the egg carton out and moves her tail out of the way before closing the door. "Good, she can learn a bit of humility."

"Help me down please." Vinyl asks and Blitz used his magic to help her down.

Blitz smiled. "How and what do you want in your eggs?" He asks starting up the stove.

"Scrambled, like you did me." Vinyl whispers.

Blitz suddenly grabs her and bits her neck and shakes a bit before letting go. "Sorry, kinda wanted to do that." He said making some eggs.

"Oh I am so turned on now." Vinyl says smirking.

Blitz chuckles. "Good, but next time. For now, breakfast."

"Oh you tease." Vinyl says walking out.

Blitz stares at her flank as she walks away and actually sees her give a few extra shakes to him as he smirks. "And that's my wife."

"And the other one is here." Twilight says appearing on his other side and leans against him.

Blitz chuckles and nuzzles her. "Aw, did you like the petting?"

"Fingers are magical." Twilight says before kissing his cheek.

Blitz kisses her back. "Good, how is she?"

"She doesn't believe pegasus can control our weather." Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, she thought my magic was her power. The force."

"Oh, I can't wait to see her reaction when we get one of the pegasus mares to do it in front of her. Fluttershy won't because she is too nervous." Twilight says.

Blitz shrugs. "I'm sure we would get that done. However, I still have to watch over her and make sure she doesn't cause a panic. So Twi, what do the changeling guards with Daring say?" Blitz asks as Twilight nuzzles into him.

Twilight smirks. "You knew they weren't the original guards I got, didn't you?"

"They got the eye color wrong." Blitz says smirking back.

Twilight sighs and shakes her head. "They say she is fine. And her foal is coming along well."

"There, there, my little pettable wife." Blitz says patting her head playfully.

Twilight frowns before lunging at him and pushing him against the counter. "Who's pettable now?" She asks about to pet him too.

"Who is the one Vinyl will never let it be forgotten?" Blitz says picking her up with his forelegs and holding her.

Twilight wraps her hooves around him. "At least I'm being talked about."

"Oh, you like how she will tell everyone of the mares that you were petted like a pet dog or cat?" Blitz says nuzzling her neck.

Twilight shivers. "Maybe, if it sends other mares to you."

"Oh, so you want to be petted by me?" Blitz whispers into her ear before nibbling her ear.

Twilight shivers much more now and starts to let her body weight fall onto him. "Yes, by you and treated like one." She whispered.

"Ok, I will pet you more my brilliant beautiful wife." Blitz whispers into her ear as he rocks her back and forth a bit.

Twilight moans. "I love you."

"Same here love." Blitz says setting her down before going back to cooking. As he does, he feels his tail being pulled a bit.

Twilight smirks. "I want mine pancake style."

"You mean sunny side up?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "I always let Spike do the cooking and he knows what I want."

"So you going to keep pulling my tail?" Blitz asks smirking at her.

Twilight giggles. "I wanted to try it."

"I would rather you stand by me." Blitz says as a song starts playing.

Twilight looks to the sound of the music before looking back at him. "Really?" Blitz just wiggles his eyebrows at her. She sighs. "Fine. Just put yourself in a dancing mood before I mop the floor with you." She said smirking.

"Let's see how much I have learnt." Blitz says as he puts the scrambled eggs onto a plate before grabbing Twilight and he starts leading her in a dance.

Twilight giggles as he starts moving around the kitchen with her in what she could describe as a classical way of dancing, but still stepping on her hooves now and then. "You're better than last time." She remarked.

Blitz grins. "I know." He said before hearing clapping from the doorway of the kitchen and sees Ahsoka leaning against the frame and watching them.

"Oh, don't stop on my account." She said.

Blitz dips Twilight back before pulling her back up.

"Wow, who knew he could dance without tripping." Vinyl said coming back into the kitchen and grabbing her plate. "Thanks love."

"One moment love." Blitz says letting her down before grabbing Vinyl and starts dancing with her as Twilight holds the plate and eggs with her magic.

"You dance better than a rave." Vinyl remarked.

"That's because I'm not drunk." Blitz says as he holds her close as they dance.

Vinyl hisses as she puts her head on his shoulder. "Since when did you gain a dancing mood?"

"Just felt like spending time with you girls. So Octy, when you going to speak up?" Blitz asks spinning Vinyl a bit.

Octavia leans around the corner. "Now if you want? Think you can dance with all of us?"

"I think Vinyl will allow you to cut in." Blitz says.

Octavia smiled as she quickly gets in and Blitz dances with them both or tries to.

"Not too bad, but I am definitely going to give you lessons later." Octavia says.

Blitz gives her a little kiss. "I really want to spend time with you girls, so yes. Shall I call you Mrs. Octavia?"

"You may." Octavia says as Azure walks in.

Twilight passes the plate to Ahsoka and picks up and holds Azure and dances around with him. "Your mother teaching you this?" She asks.

Azure reaches up and boops her nose with his hoof.

Twilight giggles and keeps dancing around as Blitz now had both mares against him. "I love you all."

"You going to join?" Ahsoka asks, looking around the couch.

"Um…I don't dance." Fluttershy said.

"Or are you just nervous around me?" Ahsoka asks.

Fluttershy looks up at her. "Um…yes."

"Oh really?" Vinyl says grabbing Fluttershy's hoof and drags her to the kitchen.

"Um…I really don't want to." Fluttershy said meekly, but let's herself get dragged.

"Blitzy, somepony is cutting in." Vinyl says as she switches Octavia for Fluttershy.

Blitz grins and chuckles as he leans close to her ear. "Hello pet." He whispered. Fluttershy smiles as she leans against him as she follows his lead. "So pet, what have you been doing without my permission since I've been gone?" He whispered.

"Watching the foals mostly." Fluttershy whispered back.

Blitz chuckles. "I know you're lying pet. Now tell." He said subtly pulling her mane a bit.

"Maybe I made out with Daring after hypnotizing her."

Blitz grins. "Naughty mare. You know what you get?"

"Punished by you later?" Fluttershy whispers.

Blitz smiled as he looks over to Vinyl. "Think you can help me? Just preparing her for a good run."

"I can't hypnosis her, I have tried." Fluttershy whispers.

Blitz pulls her mane and makes her whimper. "Come on Vinyl, you get to take a little revenge on her taking me first."

"No, I mean seriously. I have tried several times, it has no effect." Fluttershy says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow to Fluttershy. "Did I say you can speak now?"

"You asked me, didn't you?" Fluttershy asks being cheeky.

Blitz pulls her mane harder and pulls her head back a bit. "No. I was talking to Vinyl. Now quiet." He hissed before turning to Vinyl. "So…want to get revenge?"

"I already have plans for you lover boy." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yes, but she can take anything at this point. Maybe something from the both of us, what do you say?"

"We have company." Vinyl reminds.

Blitz smiled as he looks and sees Ahsoka still watching Twilight and Azure dance. "True, maybe somewhere private. Isn't there a cave nearby that Daring owns as well for when she has foals who wants to explore?" He asks Vinyl.

"Not sure about that." Vinyl says turning her head.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Really, then why are you looking away?"

"I'm not. Octy, did you know about this cave?" Vinyl asks her dancing partner.

Octavia smiled. "Well, after taking a little walk, I noticed a small cave. I think that might be the one."

"And you didn't tell me?" Vinyl asks.

Octavia shrugs. "I thought it wasn't important."

Vinyl hissed at her. "Thrall, you may be joining that washdown mare with us." She whispered.

"Oh Vinyl, didn't know you were so maleficent." Blitz jokes.

Vinyl hissed at him. "Shut it blood bag."

"Oh Octy, Twi, I think somepony needs to be petted." Blitz says smirking.

They both immediately rush over to Vinyl and starts petting her and makes her hiss a bit. "Blood bags." She tries to say.

"Oh, who is a cute pony who likes to get petted?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl glares at him. "I am going to suck you dry."

"Oh, that reminds me Twi, I have a little wager for you." Blitz says.

Twilight looks over. "Yes?"

"I bet I can disappear with no magic or any technology." Blitz says smirking getting all four mares attention.

Twilight huffs. "Yeah right. Go on my little colt."

"Oh, you don't think so huh?" Blitz asks.

Twilight clicks her tongue. "Yep, come on. What do you got that will be so bad?"

"Oh so you won't mind setting a few terms then? What do you want if you win the bet?" Blitz says.

Twilight thinks for a few. "I want you to have some fun with more than one of us for one whole day. Dates and all."

"And if I win?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks carefully at his smirking face. "Then you can go off and do something on your own for the day then."

"Ok. I have a week to do so, sound fair?" Blitz says before laying on his stomach to be face to face with Arcane.

Twilight huffs. "Fine. Just remember our deals."

'Oh boy this ought to be interesting.' Ahsoka thinks.

Blitz chuckles as he rubs noses with Arcane. "Yeah, yeah. Just be ready to lose."

"What is this I hear about losing?" Applejack asks walking in.

Twilight looks to her. "Blitz here choose to challenge me that he could disappear without his tech or magic."

Applejack looks to Blitz carefully. "Y'all tryin to lose on purpose?" She asks.

"Oh no, I will win. Right Arcane?" Blitz asks holding up his hoof.

Arcane grunts as he jumps and smacks Blitz's hoof back and cheers.

"That's my boy." Blitz says smirking as Azure paws at Octavia's hoof.

Octavia giggles and holds up her hoof and lets Azure hit it. "Aw, you want to play with your little brother?"

"I think he wants his mommy to hold him." Vinyl says.

Octavia giggles and nuzzles Azure. "Aw, you want mommy to play with you? Do ya?" Azure seems to cheer at that. Octavia nuzzles him again. "Alright, mommy will play with you. Just let her give us some food, okay my little vampire?"

"Shouldn't they be hungry?" Blitz asks the thought dawned on him.

Octavia looks at Azure as he licks his lips and shows his fangs a little. "They should. My little one here usually wants some of his mommy's blood. Right Azure?" She asks tickling his stomach.

Azure giggles under her assault as Arcane start to whimper. "Oh, looks like someone is hungry. I'll be feeding him in the living room." Twilight says picking him up.

Blitz waves at him. "Be good for mommy, okay?"

Arcane waves back. "What did she mean by feeding him in the living room?" Ahsoka asks.

"Arcane isn't ready to be weaned off his mother's milk." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks a bit confused until she looked at the other mares and then realized. "Oh, that. How long as Azure there been off?"

Blitz shrugs. "Still on, but he's changing to solid food now. No Applejack, I don't think he is ready for an apple."

Applejack pouts cutely. "Dang it Blitz."

"He is too young, besides he has fangs. No other teeth have grown in yet." Blitz says.

Applejack spreads her legs out wide. "Well how about apple juice or even some pie? Those don't require that much chewing."

"Juice yes, pie, not there yet." Blitz says.

Applejack frowns. "Apple Bloom ate her first apple at Azure's age right now."

"Octy, your thoughts?" Blitz asks.

"Oh, who is my blue genius? You are." Octavia says lifting Azure into the air.

Blitz chuckles as he looks back at Applejack. "That was Apple Bloom. This is Azure we are talking about."

"Overprotective." Applejack mutters.

"What was that?" Blitz asks.

Applejack waves him off. "Oh nothing. Nothing."

"Something about being protective." Blitz says pulling her closer with his magic.

Applejack clicks her tongue. "I hate you."

Blitz just smirks at her and wiggles his eyebrows where Ahsoka couldn't see his face.

Applejack just stares at him. "Yeah, I hate you."

"Oh, that isn't what you say all time." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Applejack still holds a frowns and moves his hoof slightly to point at Ahsoka where she couldn't see it.

"I know. I'm trying not to embarrass you." Blitz whispers.

Applejack moves her tail over his a bit before pushing him off and walks away with a frown on her face.

"See you later tonight, you sexy flank." Blitz says in a low tone that Applejack catches as she walks away.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You got a weird family." Blitz opens his mouth to comment. "And don't do the pot and kettle line." Ahsoka finishes.

Blitz chuckles. "You know me so well." Blitz says before being lassoed and dragged away. "Well, there I go." He said being dragged past her.

"And my previous statement is affirmed." Ahsoka says.

Octavia giggles. "What was your first clue?"

"The white one." Ahsoka says.

Octavia just raises an eyebrow. "Not going to question."

"Octy, do we have any cider?" Vinyl asks.

"Yes, but it is locked away." Octavia says.

Vinyl frowns. "Poo." She said making Azure giggle.

"So Applejack, any reason you dragged me to your room?" Blitz asks cheekily.

Applejack smirks and pushes him against the wall. "Simple. I wanted to spend time with you."

"Really and asking is beyond you now?" Blitz asks, his smirk not faltering.

Applejack chuckles. "Well there is the fact in our family, when the wife wants something, she usually hogties the husband…or wife…and takes them away to somewhere they want."

"Well, all you had to do is ask." Blitz says using his magic to yank her tail.

Applejack yelps. "You bastard." She said smiling.

"Oh, then what if I do this?" Blitz asks as he used his magic to lightly twist Applejack's nipples.

Applejack eeps and backs off a bit. "Now you're a complete bastard."

"And?" Blitz asks before teleporting out of the lasso and beside Applejack.

Applejack stares at him before smiling. "The greatest cousin and then husband I could ever have."

"Let's drop the cousin all together, shall we?" Blitz asks hooking a hoof around here.

Applejack smirks. "Okay." She said before lifting him up and carrying him to the bed before throwing him to it, making him jump a little as he hits the bed.

"Oh, getting physical are we?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "Nope, just showing who's stronger."

"That is one point in your favor." Blitz says as she gets on the bed.

Applejack smirks. "I know." She said before hugging him.

"But I have one in my favor." Blitz says.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "And what is that?"

"I have position." Blitz says flipping them both.

Applejack smirks. "Oh this will be good."

"Oh you shall see." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka sighs as she stands behind a pillar in the living room. "So…how much does he drink at times?"

"Till he is full." Twilight says using her wing to cover Arcane from sight as he feeds.

Ahsoka nods. "So how long have you known him?"

"Blitz, years now." Twilight says.

Ahsoka sighs. "How was he at first?"

"Nervous and tried to keep a low profile." Twilight says.

Ahsoka giggles. "How was he at that?"

"Pretty good, considering it was a small town which notices new ponies quite easily." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks in her direction. "How small?"

"No more than eighty residents at most I think." Twilight says.

Ahsoka nods. "I see. Well how about new residents?"

"It is a rarity, even for new born foals like Arcane here." Twilight says lifting her wing to pet the feeding foal.

Ahsoka looks confused. "What do you mean?"

"Not much happens." Twilight says smiling.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, I mean Arcane. What did you mean?"

"Oh, he is an alicorn including myself and him, there is currently only five and he is the first male alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Five huh?"

"We are a combination of all three sub breeds. Pegasus, earth pony and unicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks back forward. "Huh. So what trouble would you have being this different?"

"Oh, it's that Arcane is the first one to be born in a long time and the oldest and former ruler of Equestria had a big problem with Arcane being a male alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks over to her again. "What's wrong with a male?"

"She is kinda…well she was a little sexist. She tried to banish him for being a male alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka just pauses a bit. "Banished huh? For being male? What was wrong with that?"

"Well his very existence threatened her superiority for being a female and an alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka pauses a bit before realizing what she meant. "So if a male is born, he is a shoe in to be a sole ruler?"

"Well…no, it is just that she and everyone else thought alicorns could only be mares and that means they were superior. Which for several centuries, stallions were looked down upon here and treated differently." Twilight says.

"How were they treated?"

"Some were seen as mere objects to be bought and sold others were slaves. The pegasus stallions didn't take it well. That is why the pegasus were at war with the rest of Equestria for most of the centuries were stallions were treated lesser." Twilight says.

"Do you?"

"No. How could I if I treat my little Arcane so well? Mommy loves you so much my little foal." Twilight says smiling.

Arcane was still feeding as Ahsoka smiled. "Good, because I would have had to take Blitz away if you were."

"So like I was saying, when she tried to banish Arcane. Blitz didn't take it well and nearly killed her." Twilight says.

Ahsoka hissed. "Yeah, he would do that. What happened then?"

"The only reason he didn't was he didn't want Azure or Arcane to see it." Twilight says.

Ahsoka nods. "I see. Anything else then?"

"Want to join his little harem?" Twilight jokes taking Ahsoka completely off guard.

"Um…" She tries to say. "Well…"

Twilight starts to snicker. "Oh I got you." Twilight says trying to keep a straight face.

Ahsoka just blushes. "I never…well…he is cute." She whispered the last part.

"Minerva, please bring me my books. I have some research to do." Twilight calls.

"Yes ma'am." Minerva said walking past.

"Such a sweet mare." Twilight says.

Ahsoka watches as she walks past. "Huh, never thought she would ever become one of you."

"Magic." Twilight says getting a weird look from Ahsoka. "Force in a sense."

Ahsoka slowly nods. "I see." She didn't. "Do you hear that?" Ahsoka asks trying to change the subject.

Twilight listens as well. "Yeah, sounds like…oh Applejack."

"Huh?" Ahsoka asks.

"Oh nothing." Twilight says casting a sound proof barrier spell.

Ahsoka soon doesn't hear anything. "What did you do?"

"Nothing. Oh Arcane, are you full?" Twilight asks as Arcane let's go.

Arcane looks up at her before burping and then looks at her cutely.

"You can come out now. I'm finished feeding my little angel." Twilight says.

Ahsoka sighs as she comes around and sits down on the couch. "I'll say this, you guys are interesting enough. Between dealing with a ruler bent on destroying this little one and then future life with space mixed in, you must be having a wonderful life."

"It is interesting to say the least." Twilight says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah. If I was crashed landed here, I would definitely stay a while."

"Oh you don't really have much a choice do you?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, mostly traveling or in the temple. Not much fun when it's just meditation most of the time. Though my master certainly likes to keep things interesting with unorthodox ways of getting things done. That will certainly keep you awake."

"Ok, so random question, if you were a pony, which would you be?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka looks at her. "Those questions huh. Alright, I think something like Blitz is."

"Oh, a unicorn, huh?" Twilight says making a mental note.

Ahsoka nods. "Well I still have to use the force somehow unless is transfers over seamlessly, then I need something close to it."

"I see." Twilight says. 'Well she will be a good member of the harem. All I need to do is turn her into a pony and then use Fluttershy to hypnotize her into being obedient.' Twilight thinks.

Ahsoka soon turns to her again. "Blitz told me you guys tried life in space. How was it?"

"It was weird." Twilight says jolting out of her thoughts.

Ahsoka chuckles. "I'm sure you and the rest will live there like its normal and you're on your home planet. Still, how would you like it if you lived your whole life in space?"

"Maybe, if I didn't have my position." Twilight says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Ah yes, princess." She said with air quotes.

"Queen actually." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks at her. "Oh right, ruler of a species of bugs. Strange because I may have fought some bugs before. Wasn't fun. They turned the dead into zombies essentially."

"A, what? B, they feed off emotional energy." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks at her. "It had a queen that controlled these worms which controlled the minds of even the jedi themselves. Could have been bad if it wasn't for one of my other master to bury the queen."

"There was always the alternative." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks carefully to her. "And what is that?"

"Like Blitz says the first time he fought a timber wolf. Kill it with fire." Twilight says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, of course he would say that…timber wolf?"

Twilight giggles. "A wolf made of timbers."

Ahsoka just stares. "I don't even know how to respond."

"Oh, the cockatrice turns other creatures too by looking them in the eyes." Twilight says.

Ahsoka still stares at her. "Um…I'm starting to lose you."

"I didn't believe it either until it happened to me." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks her over. "So how did you get out of it?"

Twilight shrugs. "My guess is Fluttershy dealing with it and I followed. Now are you ready for a nap my little angel?" Twilight asks as Arcane yawns.

Ahsoka sighs. "You certainly keep Blitz and Arcane safe, don't you?"

"I keep Arcane safe, as for Blitz, well I can't control him, could you?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Nope, he left when I was asleep one time and he came back with a bad guy tied in a chair when I woke up."

"And?" Twilight asks pulling a blanket onto Arcane.

"He was about to start cutting off his horns for starters." Ahsoka says.

Twilight giggles. "That's him for sure. Let me guess, he was drinking coffee at the same time, wasn't he?"

"Actually no. The coffee is something he picked up the way. He says it's in honor of his late flight teacher Z.O.N.E." Ahsoka says.

Twilight just gives her a look. "Okay. That's something. Makes sense with every time he wakes up though."

"He used to use stims to keep him going after three days if he didn't sleep." Twilight says.

Ahsoka groans. "I thought I told him to take it easy on those things. How much did he do in one go of just being awake on stims?"

Twilight sighs. "At least a week until Daring stopped him and forced him to go to sleep. She hated that he was staying awake by those things. The last time was when he was almost out of energy and had to take a performance stim to deal with some monsters. Daring almost took it badly, but she knew what was happening after explaining it to her and by that I mean Lightning Dust."

"Actually love, she got mad I was using a sleep poison to get some sleep." Blitz says walking down the steps.

Ahsoka glares at him. "How many times have I told you to not take stims again?"

Blitz smirks. "At least almost a hundred times before we left each other."

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Dang it Blitz."

"Wait, how are you not an addict than?" Twilight asks.

"That is a mandalorian secret." Blitz says smirking before setting a stuffed animal in Arcane's grip and sets a pillow next to his head.

Ahsoka just gives him a look. "That basically means he drinks too much coffee."

Blitz chuckles as he pets Arcane. "Yeah, caffeine really destroys the process."

Twilight and Ahsoka just stares at him. "Don't do it again." They both said.

"Jeez Ahsoka, what are you, my wife?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka blushes. "Dang it Blitz. Don't bring that up again."

Blitz smirks. "Aw, you don't want to remember that time Ms. Puffypants?" Blitz asks, his smirk never leaving his face as Arcane held the stuffed animal in a strangle hold as he slept.

Ahsoka huffs. "They are right, you are an idiot. When did you become so cheeky?"

Blitz grins. "When my life got more fun."

"Thank you Minerva." Twilight says as Minerva handed her a few books.

Blitz looks over to her. "What are those for?"

"Thought I would take this chance to catch up on my studying on magic." Twilight says innocently.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Twi, I know that tone. What are you planning?"

"Nothing, but what are you planning with that bet?" Twilight asks.

Blitz wags a hoof at her. "Uh nuh, you are not going to learn my secrets as magicians say, show the trick, not the trickery."

"Oh, so…wait, what do you me…" Twilight was cut off by the door opening.

"Blitzy, me and Sunshine Smile are home." Pinkie whispers walking in.

Blitz smiles. "Lay her right here." He said pointing to Arcane and seeing Sunshine sleeping on Pinkie's back. "I think these two will enjoy the company."

Pinkie sets her down on the pillow with Arcane before jumping onto Blitz and hugs him. Blitz chuckles. "Aw, you're too cute. You really can make anypony's day."

Pinkie giggles and nuzzles him. "I know. Who else could make you guys have fun?"

Blitz thinks for a few. "Maybe Vinyl with a huge rave."

"Um…" Ahsoka says getting Pinkie's attention.

Pinkie suddenly moves up close to her face. "Hi there. What's your name?"

Ahsoka reels back a little. "Um…Ahsoka Tano, you?"

Pinkie sits down on Blitz's back. "Pinkamena Diana Pie." She sang.

"Hey Pinkie, get this, Ahsoka doesn't believe pegasus can control weather." Blitz says causing her to gasp.

Pinkie suddenly grabs Ahsoka's head and pulls her close. "Doesn't believe it. No, that can't do." She said as she lets go just as well. "We have to find a pegasus quickly. To the Pinkie mobile." She said before jumping off and out the door before hearing a screeching sound and an engine going away.

"I was going to let it be a surprise when…" Blitz was cut off by a new voice.

"One of the mares like me gets back?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz nervously chuckles as they hear the same screeching sound coming to their house, but it isn't stopping. "Oh no." Blitz said looking to the front door as well as everyone else. "Please don't crash, Daring will kill me." He said as the screeching gets closer before they hear it stop completely and then a few knocks comes from the door and Pinkie walks in with a sleek pink vehicle almost an inch away from the doorway. "Found Spitfire." She called.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Dang it Pinkie. You almost got me killed…from Daring. And where did you get that car?"

Pinkie tilts her head. "What car?"

They both look behind her and see nothing in the doorway. "Wha…?" Ahsoka tries to ask.

"Pinkie Pie, don't question it." They all said to her.

"Anyway, can you show her that pegasus can control the weather Spits?" Blitz asks with a small grin.

"Huh…who is this?" Spitfire asks.

They all point to Ahsoka who waves back. "Hi and yeah, don't believe it."

"I'm asking who the alien is." Spitfire says blankly.

Ahsoka sighs. "Ahsoka Tano and I still don't believe you guys can control the weather. It's not possible without a terraformer."

"You mind love? I think she could use a shower." Blitz whispers the last half into her ear.

Spitfire grins and flies outside from the back and straight into the sky before grabbing a dark cloud and pulls it back down and into the house. "Okay, I believe density here, but not controlling it." Ahsoka said before Spitfire kicks the cloud and it immediately starts raining on her. "Okay, believe it now."

"You better." Spitfire says resting her head on Blitz.

Blitz chuckles as he nuzzles Spitfire. "Thanks Spits."

Spitfire chuckles and wraps a hoof around him. "You better my horned stallion."

Blitz keeps nuzzling her. "In more ways than one." He whispered.

"Oh yeah." Spitfire says before pecking his neck.

Blitz smiled as he looks at her. "What are you, a vampire?" He asks before seeing Ahsoka blushing out of the corner of his eye.

Spitfire grins. "Nah, just hungry for some fun. I can still wait for the real thing though."

"Minerva, please take Ahsoka to the bathroom so she can wash up while we wash her clothes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grumbles as Minerva comes up and leads her to the bathroom as Spitfire snickers. "When can we do a proof of magic here for her again?" She asks after she leaves.

"Already did that." Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "What's that?"

"Twi went lecture on magic on her." Blitz as Spitfire lays on his back.

Spitfire smiled as she starts to cover herself with her wings. "That's good. It looked like she needed a good breakdown on what we do."

"She better, Twi went on for nine hours." Blitz says,

Spitfire looks to where she went. "Hard to believe she is still awake."

"That was yesterday." Blitz says.

Spitfire clicks her tongue. "Boo. Still, what is she doing here?"

"Will explain later. For now, let's spend time together." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiled. "I would like that." She said as he starts to walk to their room.

"No drinks for now love, wait for tonight." Blitz says.

"Boo." Spitfire said slightly hitting his head.

Ridley groans as the pirates dropped another box. "How many times have I told you all to not to drop these?!" They just stare at him. "Do you?!" A pirate just holds up a claw. "No, not just one time, many times?! Why do you think I tell you to steal everything when we attack a ship or colony? It's because you insects can't even move them around properly without dropping them to pieces. Now pick it up or it is these for you." He threatened while holding up his talon.

Every single pirates quickly rushes their job now. "They always like this?" Spike asks as he walks past.

Ridley huffs. "That's not the half of it. What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be up there and deal with your fleet."

"They can be taken care of on their own now. Its way too simple and ordinary for the mission I have signed them up for." Spike said stopping a few pirates and looking into the boxes they were holding. "Here it is." He said taking out a circuit board. "I was wondering when the lab would get these." He said waving them off and walking away.

Ridley watches him leave. "Board for what?"

Spike grins. "My new AI buddy." He said as his omnitool lights up and a blue tail slithers around him. "Minerva kinda made this one for me based on the shape of a full grown dragon. Cool huh? Just came for his permanent placement on a computer." He said showing the large board and the dragon hovers over it, looking it over.

Ridley just stares. "And how does it help?"

Spike frowns. "Simple, handling the small calculations while I run the big ideas. There seems to be that almost every time I run something." Ridley just tilts his head. Spike sighs. "Just forget it. I just an AI now. Hope you have enough brain left to know that." He said now walking away.

Ridley frowns. "Hey, I still got my brain intact!"

"After the many times I blasted you, I doubt that." A voice said behind him.

Ridley turns around and sees Samus without her armor, but in a blue jumpsuit. "Your scar." He said noticing the scar on her face was gone.

Samus grins. "Yeah, told you I would deal with it and end it. I was surprised that once I killed that thing, everything else fell apart. No more phazon in the universe now since there is no brain to keep it alive."

Ridley then grins. "Came back for a rematch?"

Samus smirks. "Maybe, for now I just came back to talk. I like our last one that might have been our last since I was going into the belly of the beast so to speak. Now that I'm back though, how a little chit chat and then we can see who is better."

Ridley chuckles. "Good, now stop showing yourself off so these fools can get back to work." He said as the pirates who were staring at her immediately went back to work.

Samus chuckles. "Oh this is interesting. Maybe I should use that trick when we fight."

Ridley grins. "Really, just like a little bitch?"

Samus grins back. "For you so I can get a clean shot, yeah, I should."

Ridley laughs. "This is going to be an interesting fight."

Samus smiled. "We shall see. Now then, what do you have for drinks?"

"Jack Dodgers." Spike said standing in the elevator. "You guys coming or not?"

They both looks to each other before shrugging and getting on and heading up. "I still hate you." Ridley said.

"Hate you too." Samus replied.

"So love, how are you feeling?" Blitz asks sitting in the swing on the front porch, watching the sun set.

"Better now that you're here." Spitfire said as Blitz pets her mane.

"I'm still waiting for the drink." Vinyl says.

Blitz rolls his eyes as he pets Vinyl's mane too. "Yeah, not yet. Waiting for the last and best part."

They both look up at him. "Drink now." They said.

"Nope." Blitz says using his magic to yank their tails playfully.

They yelp a bit before glaring up at him. "We hate you."

Blitz smiled and kisses both of their heads. "I love you two too. Now just relax, this is the last night before winter and we are scheduled for heavy snow for the next week."

They smirk as they look at him. "Then we're stuck inside with you which is good." Spitfire said.

"Yes, but we won't be able to relax like this for a good long time." Blitz says.

They shrug. "Ah well, we still got something to do at times. Besides, snow would be good for the foals." Vinyl said.

"But you both will be busy playing with the foals or with me at night." Blitz whispers into their ears.

They lean close to his. "Worth it." They said.

"Then don't rush it loves." Blitz says.

They both giggle as they nuzzle him. "Love ya."

"I love you too and I think I see somepony coming." Blitz says.

They all look over and see Ahsoka coming around the building in her fresh clothes. "Hey there alien girl." Vinyl said.

"I see Minerva found you something to wear while your clothes are being washed." Blitz says.

Ahsoka pulls on her sleeve. "Still tight."

"Well I'm surprised we even had anything in your size." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "I'm surprised you had anything for my type of body shape. What was Minerva doing with those clothes anyway?"

"My guess, possible back up clothes for a visitor." Blitz says.

Ahsoka thinks for a few before blushing. "Oh come on, she knows what I follow."

"Not for you. For any visor, like for example one of the foals starts throwing food." Blitz says.

Ahsoka folds her arms. "You planning on bringing them out there?"

"A guest who has business with me, yes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "I meant your kids."

"Why wouldn't they be here? This is one of their homes." Blitz says raising an eyebrow.

Ahsoka groans. "I meant taking them out into space."

"When they are old enough." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Really? You do realize you may have to go into space again, right?"

"Oh I know. So Ahsoka, you find yourself a spouse yet?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka frowns. "Blitz, you know the order doesn't allow that."

"That's not answerin me question." Blitz says in a sing song tone.

Ahsoka sighs. "No." She said almost in a whisper.

"Aw, don't worry Ahsoka, Azure will marry you." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka glares at him. "I hate you."

Blitz sticks his tongue out. "Love ya too."
