Chapter 47: Chapter 47. Filler.

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I woke up to a wonderful sight. Summer was back in her spot snuggling me underneath my chin, I felt amazing, and I was going to murder a certain Princess of the Moon when I find her, but that last one can wait for now. I nuzzled the top of Summer's head, leaving a small kiss on her forehead. "Mmm~" she cooed as she nuzzled back, leaving a sweet peck on my neck. I smiled as I felt her wings wrap around me, but that smile died when I heard the sound of flapping in my room.

I looked over my shoulder and found a very curious Feather Flight looking us over with an innocent smile. I groaned in annoyance that it was time to get up, and gently unwrap myself from Summer's warm embrace. She frowned at that, but I put Midna in my place, causing that frown to go away as she cuddled with my teddy bear while I left the bed with Feather.

I yawned and put on my royal wear and flew down to the bathroom to have a shower. Once I was done cleaning myself, I flew back up to my bed and left a kiss on my love's cheek and left a note on the end table to tell her why I was going to be missing for a while. I don't want to involve her in the meeting that was going to take place in a few minutes in the war room with my government. If she knew that I was planning on destroying Equestria's economic infrastructure with tactical sabotage, I don't think she will want to see me for a while. With that sour thought in mind, I flew off of the bed and onto the floor below where Feather was waiting to escort me to the war room, even though I didn't eat yet, but that could wait for later. With a tired sigh, I raised my head in a dignified way and walked out of the room, thinking happy thoughts.


I sat on the table map in the war room and watched Mendez place hundreds of small figurines on the map. Each figurine showed the location of every single military warehouse in the world both enemy and ally. As he placed the toys on the map, several ponies walked in and looked over the map along with me in confusion. I could understand that they didn't understand what I was doing with these locations, but that could wait for know.

I moved my gaze away from the map and turned on my Air Sight to see if there was a spy amongst my most trusted. I knew that there had to be a spy as the only ponies that knew about the special escape route back to the keep was in this room. One of them was a rat and he or she was going to pay for their betrayal.

"Alright everypony, gather around the map," I said in a calm voice as I looked for anyone that may be the rat as I formulated my plan for Equestria and all the new information that I had gathered over the past few days. Once they were all in place and giving me their full attention. I spoke up to find and end the rat before the real meeting starts.

"Before we star the meeting, I have something to tell you all," I said and watched them all whisper things to each other. Even Luna to Green Eco shared a concerned word as to what I was about to say. Once they were done, I spoke up again.

"As you all may or may not know, but I have a special skill in my possession," I said as I turned on my Sharingan spell, causing the entire group, except for Luna as she knew that it was just a trick, gasp, and shuffle in place. "This lets me see who is a liar and see one hour into the future. So with this in mind, I won't kill the spy in the group if he reveals himself. If he does so willingly, I will just simply banish him out of Arcadia, and he won't face charges. So please, speak up now, or die in the next few seconds."

Everyone in the room shuffled in place and looked around to see who was the rat, but I knew in an instant who it was as their fear skyrocketed. I am quite a surprised though that the thestral was the one to rat me out, then again, Dark Knight was the one that helped Spitfire train the guard with all the new weapons that were recently delivered. He was the only one that took a part of the creation of that route, but as for his motives for betraying me? I think that good 'old fashion torture was in order.

"I don't understand yours, Highness. Who could possibly be a spy amongst ourselves?" Good Will spoke up. I gave him a warm smile and pointed to Dark. "Ask him as he was the one to tell those mercenaries the route I took yesterday during the attack."

The life in the dark gray bat ponies eyes died after I said those words before he was grabbed by the two guards by the door and tied up in chains to prevent him from escaping. Luna gave the poor thestral a heartbroken stare that one of her ponies of the night was plotting with the Princess of the Sun. He didn't care and glared pure death at me before he spoke up to defend himself.

"You are a Dark Mage! That eye just proves it! Princess Celestia was right to kill the Black Queen and any who follow you!" he shouted at me. I just raised a brow at him as his little speech let a tear in my eyes.

"This isn't dark magic," I pointed to my eye again. Dark just looked at me with confusion. "This is Chi magic or Spirit Magic. Spirit Magic is as pure as an infant soul. It can't be tainted by darkness and it can't corrupt the caster, however. It can be used to cause harm, but its general nature is peaceful by design. Calling me a Dark Mage is just stupid and ignorant...Guards, take him away," I said with indifference. Dark Knight scowled at me before he was knocked out by the guards that were holding him, and taken him to the dungeon. Everyone else in the room didn't dare utter a word about the arrest nor the big ass lie that only applied to the world of Naruto. In any case, with the spy out of the room. I can begin making my plans come to fruition.

"Now that, that's out of the way. We can begin the meeting," I said causing every person in the room to give me their attention again.

We talked about trivial things that were rather boring. Things like income and what we should do about the color of the streets. Every pony agreed to those things while I looked at the map to plan out my regime, but one thing that Green Eco said during the talk about propaganda to join the Arcadian military, pointed out some problems. With Equestria making us look bad in every way, shape and form. We would be feeding that fire of hate if we were to send out ads to become an Arcadian, Black Knight.

"Green Eco, do you know what we could do to counter this?" I asked as I thought of a new design for the armor. He looked over his notes for a second and spoke up for everyone to hear.

"If we place evidence of Celestia's true nature on the front page for all to see and provide evidence to support it, it could move towards our favor," he said. "But with how our military's aesthetic design is like, that tactic won't last for long." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Mendez, I want our armor to look like the Flames of Azure and Brimstone protecting our soldiers like a dragoness to her eggs. I will have the new design done in a few hours after the meeting, and I want it implemented immediately," I said ordered Mendez. He gave me a nod and wrote down his order on a notepad before I spoke again. "Eco, I want that tactic also implemented, but in the short term. Once we have the necessary bodies for defense. End it that order." He too gave me a nod and wrote it down on a notepad before we went back to discussing boring things again.

It wasn't until late in the afternoon until we got to the topic of the map. Everyone was tired from the whole ordeal but was happy with the choices I have made. The Diamond Dogs and Khajiit will be getting a genetic mutation to simulate the body structure of a human to increase their longevity and overall strengths. Of course, it is all voluntary.

Taxes have been altered a bit to help fund the military more but by a small amount. Clothes are to be more practical, and less frilly. Weapon advancement is a top priority after I told them what Celestia has. The new armor and vehicles, and the implementation of the flesh golems in the military that Japapony gave the blueprints to us. That last one was a bit concerning to the old general as those golems were only met for sex and not war. I countered him that we could reprogram them and make sure that they can't be used against us. He conceded his argument and Green Eco volunteered to begin production. Princess Luna was the one to pipe up about the map, causing everyone to look at the map and all the objects on in. I knew the question was going to pop up sooner or later, I was glad that it was the latter as it was the last topic of the meeting.

"Miss Rose," Luna spoke up as most of the ponies left the room as they didn't need to know about the map. I perked up as I took a sip of coffee and listened to what she had to say.

"A few days ago, you asked General Mendez to acquire information about every countries information regarding their military resources. Is this map a representation of this information?" Luna asked. I placed my coffee down and gave her a nod.

"Yes it is, but with all the new crap that is going on; like the militia groups that are infiltration Arcadia and threatening everyone that they come across, I won't be able to use it yet. So you are going to have to wait and see like everyone else."

Author's Notes:

It's filler as my brain didn't want to work for me.
