Chapter 1: Prologue: Joining The Guard

Load Full Story Next Chapter

It had been a little over a week since The Storm King & his forces had invaded Equestria and been defeated by the hands of Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Elements of Harmony. With their homeland and many lands beyond now freed from the tyrant's grasp Celestia had sent members of her peace corps to help restore nation's like Capper's home Abnysia and Skystar's origional home Mt. Arias to their former glory *though she had heard some of the Hippogryphs decided to stay in Seaquestria perfering the Seapony form meaning Queen Nuvo now had two nations to protect. They were also working with already allied nations like Griffenstone and the Changling Hive to help send additional forces to get Klugtown and its rather large organized crime element under control. Mix that with Captian Celano being givin an official buckannering licsense by both Celestia & Queen Nuvo things seemed to be on the up for not just Equestria but the lands beyond as well.

There was still one or two issues to deal with however. The first being the Storm King's forces. The brutish looking Storm Beasts were actually quite docile without the Storm King bossing them around but the Princesses knew that most ponies would not be too keen on them staying in Equestria so Cadence was working to broker a deal with the Yak's to allow them to make a new settlement up on the mountain next to theirs. And then of course there was Commander Tempest Shadow and her annoying sidekick Grubber.


Tempest under any normal circumstance in any other nation would have no doubt been executed for her crimes against the crown and betraying her nation. But given the death penalty had been outlawed in Equestria for over a thousand years Celestia came-up with a much more beneficial "punishment" Tempest would repent for her crimes by joining the royal guard and being the first guardspony assigned to protect Princess Twilight Sparkle. Oh and her little friend Grubber would share her fate as well of course. But before she could become a guard, she had to clear her training at the academy, and before she could start that, came paperwork of course.







Commander Goldspark set behind his desk looking at the assortment of creatures infront of him. To his left a small Dragon, next to him a young purple alicorn princess with an akward smile on her face. Then next to her a rather intemidating unicorn with a broken horn, scared eye and rather blank flank. And finally a short, well he wasn't sure what it was, a short fat Diamond Dog/Storm Beast hybrid perhaps?

Thd commander cleared his throat. "So let me get this straight. Celestia wants me to add a last minute edition to my current royal guard academy training program but you can't even properly fill out the paperwork?" He huffed.

"Well, we ah, filled out what we could" Twilight laughed nervously.

"Right" Goldspark replied sarcastically looking down at the paper.

NAME: Fizzlepop Berrytwist but prefers Tempest Shadow

Other/additional noted: Allergic to annoying ponies/creatures. Pretty sure being stuck with Grubber is my real punishment.



"So Ms. Berrytwist, you don't know your own age or name of your home town? You don't have any family to add as emergency contacts? No other friends?"


"W, well about that...." Tempest began

"C'mon brah is it really that surprising!?" Grubber interuppted "This mare ran away from home when she was like a little filly and she spent years, years traveling through the deserts and the outlands obsessing over restoring her horn. I mean pretty easy to lose track of time doing that man. Ecspecially when you got a hole in your head, desert sun will fry your brain!"

"My brain is quite functional thank you very much Grubber, but you may not be for long if you interrupt me again!" Tempest scowled, her broken horn flaring as she looked at him.

"Uh huh, ok. But not remembering the name of your hometwon, your parents?" The unicorn stallion asked.

"Well, uh....." Tempest stammered


"Well you see commander" Twilight interjected "Tempest suffered a severe trauma at a very young age. It only makes sense her mind would black out a handful of painful memories to cope."

The stallion just looked at the group. "OK, fine. Not like I can say no to a request by all four princesses anyway. Tempest can join the training program, but don't expect me to go easy on her." He huffed.

"That's fine, I don't expect to go easy on you or your guards either." Tempest replied with a confident smirk on her face.

The commander just smiled. "Hehe, I like your style kid. Welcome to the royal guard training program. Hope you survive the experience" he replied as he shook Tempest's hoof. "Now follow ol Flash Sentry over there and he'll take you to your room." He said pointing at the yellow pegasus in crytal guard attire.

Tempest just rolled her eyes and did as she was told as Grubber wobbled close behind.

"Good luck." Twilight whisper-yelled at her as she waved goodbye to her new friend before turning her attention to the gruff old unicorn stallion. "Don't worry about the rest of the paperwork commander, Luna is sending some of her night corps intel agents to gather information about Tempest's past. Hopefully we should be able to fill those holes eventually. " She said as she smiled nervously.

The commander just rolled his eyes. This was going to be an interesting class to say the least he thought.
