Captain of the Royal Guard

Warning: This Chapter has scenes of violence. If you dont like that, skip the part after the first ***. to the second ***

Tempest Shadow was trotting through the plains, the castle of her only friend already visible to her eyes. Once the byzantium unicorn reached the entrance of Ponyville, she started receiving stares, and they weren't all friendly. Tempest shifted uncomfortably under the hostile looks. Funny, she thought that Ponyville was supposed to be the most caring and understanding place in Equestria. They started to whisper things about her.

"Its the pony that tried to take over Equestria."

"There's no way she can be a good pony with a horn like THAT!"

Tempest's ears drooped a little at this, thinking she should just turn back, until she realized that she had reached the tree-like castle's gate. She gulped when she craned her neck to look at the top of the building. She moved to open the gate expecting it to be locked, only to find that it wasn't. She was greeted with a very long hall.

She decided to let herself in and was walking down the hall before her slow pace turned to a gallop as she saw somepony lying on the ground.

"Hey! Hey! Are you alright?!" She said as she frantically shook the unconscious orange unicorn in her hooves. She didn't receive a response until she shifted and groaned in pain. She spotted a couch to her left and moved to place the pony there instead of on the cold marble floor. She then proceeded to move around the castle cautiously. Searching every room for a hostile entity of some kind. She went upstairs when she found Nopony on the first floor. When she ascended the flight of stairs she was greeted by more rooms, so many rooms. The byzantium mare made her way through the hall looking into each room she passed. She heard a loud cry of fright coming from the room directly to her right. She opened the door to find a masked stallion standing over two baby dragons, one of which she recognized as Spike. The unicorn lept into action, kicking the stallion's hooves out from under him then grabbed him by the tail with her maw and swung him around then slammed him into the ground. She then noticed a second pony in the room rushing towards her, hooves raised for an attack. She ducked underneath the pony's attack and with a cry of anger she bucked the intruder with a loud *THWACK*, sending the assailant into the wall. The pony slid off the wall and hit the ground, right next to the stallion. Tempest then tensed as she felt two forms cling to her hind-leg, but calmed when she saw that they were the two young dragons whom she had just saved. She picked them up and hugged them, she tried her best to comfort the two quaking forms in her embrace.

"Um hey now it's ok. I uh took care of the big bad ponies that were gonna hurt you." Tempest tried nervously. It was this scene that Twilight burst down the door and charged inside, followed by her three pets. Tempest's hold on the two dragons tightened a little as she got ready to defend them once again. Her head shot up to find Twilight standing above her. Her glare as well as her grip softened when her eyes laid upon the Alicorn goddess. She let the two dragons go and they rushed to Twilight with a cry of. "MOMMY!!" The two baby dragons shot into the purple princess in a hug. Tempest Shadow then shifted from her sitting position to bow in front of the purple mare before her.

"Your Highness." Tempest greeted. "I didn't want our reunion to play out in such a way, but I-" A lavender hoof pressed against her muzzle, shushing her. She looked up to see the Princess smiling down at her.

"You protected my son and his new little brother from harm, I thank you for that, Tempest." Twilight told the bowing mare before helping her up. Tempest gaped slightly as she got to her full height. Twilight was taller than her now by six inches, her body filled out in all the right places. Muscle and curves accentuating her perfectly. Tempest couldn't help but stare at the gorgeous Alicorn for a few moments. The aforementioned Alicorn's chuckle broke her out of her stupor.

"S-Sorry, Princess." Tempest said while looking at the floor with a small blush spreading on her muzzle. Trixie walked up to her Mistress and tapped her side with her hoof. Once Twilight's attention was directed to her blue pet, Trixie pointed her hoof at the two intruders she and her sisters tied up. Twilight nodded in understanding and petted the blue mare, causing her to purr happily as she nuzzled into it. Twilight and Tempest walked up to the two ponies who were tied up on the ground.

"Now, what were you two trying to do to my sons?" Twilight said with an angry glare. The stallion scoffed and refused to answer. The other pony who was revealed to be a short stallion instead of a mare like most of the ponies present thought.

"We won't tell you! This isn't over, Sparkle!" One of them screamed. Twilight sighed and facehoofed. She turned to Tempest and light her horn with magic. The Alicorn used the same spell she had used on Trixie on Tempest to give her the lay out of the castle. Afterwards, Tempest shook her head to get the fuzz out of her eyes. Tempest then grinned menacingly at the two stallions on the ground, needles to say, her grinned unnerved the two of them.

"Do you want me to do what I think you do?" Tempest asked the lavender mare. Twilight simply smiled at her byzantium friend.

"Yes, Tempest. Take them to the castle dungeons, please. You may use any means you want to get information out of them." Twilight informed the unicorn.

"Yes, Ma'am." Tempest said with an affirmative nod, excitement in her tone.

"And Tempest. It's good to see you again." The Alicorn smiled. Tempest's body shuddered at the fact that the one pony who accepted her was happy to see her. Tempest dragged the two stallions away to the dungeon with a pep in her step.
Mistress, may ask who that was?" Trixie asked from her owner's right side. Sunset had took the dragons from the purple Alicorn and was trying to get them to go back to sleep.

"Her name is Tempest Shadow, Trixie. She is a very powerful unicorn despite not having proper control of magic and on top of that, she is probably physically the strongest pony that isn't an Alicorn." Twilight informed her pet.

"I noticed her horn was broken, can you fix it, Mistress?" Starlight asked from her owner's left side.

"I am not sure. It has been one of things I have been constantly looking into, but I haven't found any leads that would properly restore her horn. Sure I could fix her horn physically but her magic nodes wont reconnect because of how long ago her horn was severed. I won't stop until I can find a way to fix her, though. I do believe I have one way to restore her horn though. Anyways, she is just as important to me as you all are." Twilight informed her pets.

***

Tempest reached the dungeon of Twilight's castle and whistled to herself at how impressive it was, at least to her. She threw the two stallions into a chamber and chained them up on a wall.

"Now I'm going to give you one chance. Tell me what your plan was and who you work for." Tempest stated flatly.

"NEVER!!" The bigger of the two shouted defiantly full of confidence, his partner nodded with him. His confidence faltered how ever upon seeing the terrifying sadistic grin on the byzantium mare's muzzle.

"Heheheh, I am so glad you said that!" Tempest giggled maniacally, pulling a metal studded whip from a wall. She struck the wall in between the two of them with the whip. The smaller stallion gulped in terror when he saw that Tempest put a huge crack in the wall from it.

"H-Heh, you dumb cunt, do you think I'm sca-AAAAAAARGH!!!!" The larger stallion screamed as Tempest slashed him right across his barrel. She shivered at his scream of agony. She then turned her predatory gaze the smaller pony who was shivering with fear. Tempest struck the wall right next to his head, once again cracking the wall. He let out a terrified yelp.

"D-Don't tell her anything, you useless newbie!!" The large stallion snarled at his companion. Tempest then struck him on his left hind-leg's knee. hard. He let out a shriek of pure agony as it shattered his knee joints. Tempest's sadistic grin grew wilder.

"If you want to take all of the beating that's fine by me." She said. She then pummeled him with the whip, striking him all over his body while the smaller stallion watched in terror. Only after ten minutes of whipping the stallion did she relent. The stallion was gushing blood from tons of gashes in his body from the whip. Tempest had moaned more than once while beating the stallion, getting off on his pain. This fact utterly terrified the small stallion. She then walked over to the bigger pony and roughly grabbed his head and forced him to look into her eyes.

"Are you willing to talk, now?" Tempest asked. The stallion spit in her face in response.

"Fuck you, you freaky bitch." He spat. Tempest, showing no emotion on her face and simply used the smaller stallion's mane to wipe the spit off of her. Before punching the bigger stallion so hard it shattered his bottom jaw.

"Oops, now you can't talk." Tempest giggled before beating him even more. Eventually, he fell unconscious from the pain alone. Once he did, she once again turned her attention on the small stallion. He was crying in fear. She approached him and stared him directly in his eyes, drinking in his fear.

"Will you talk?" Tempest asked, which he furiously nodded to.

"Good boy." Tempest grinned. "Now Talk" Tempest demanded.

"W-We w-were ordered t-to kidnap somepony c-close to the p-princess f-for blackmail." He confessed.

"Who ordered you?" Tempest prodded.

"I don't know! I'm sorry! I'm just the new guy and we're mercenaries we don't directly work for anyone PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!!" He begged.

"They definitely wouldn't tell the newbie on the team who they were working for if they were somepony who would be in huge trouble if they were to be found out." Tempest contemplated to herself.

"Alright I'll believe you. But if I find out you are lying to me, you will wish that the only thing that happened to you was what happened to him." Tempest promised. He furiously nodded. She whipped the large stallion once more to wake him up.

"I can't have you bleeding out on me." She said simply. He gave a one jaw grin.

"Oh? Look how many cuts there are on me. You'll never stop the bleeding with stitches in time. I'm proud to die if you don't learn anything." The large stallion's eyes smugly conveyed. The smaller pony wisely refrained from telling him that he told her everything he knew. There attention was on the byzantium unicorn once again as she started cackling like she was insane. She moved over to a drawer and pulled out a canister.

"You have heard of cauterization, right?" She asked with a huge grin on her muzzle. The large stallion's eyes widened in realization. Tempest stalked her way towards him, the stallion shaking his head in horror. She drank in his fear as he finally seemed to realize just what kind of predicament he was in.

She was sure Twilight and her friends heard the screams he let out after that as she burned him, not being careful in the slightest.

***

"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHGH"

Twilight and her pets shivered as they heard the scream tear through their home. They have no remorse for the ponies who tried to do who knows what with members of their family. Pain to those ponies is pleasure to them.

"Mistress, how close are you with Tempest?" Trixie asked, just as aroused as Twilight at the screams.

"She is a very close friend. I would've asked her to stay with me in my castle as another student alongside Starlight, but she insisted that she wanted to roam around the world searching for a purpose." Twilight informed the cerulean mare leaned into her side.

"Will she become our new sister, Mistress?" Trixie asked.

"If she want's to that would be lovely." Twilight answered with a smile.

After Tempest cauterized the stallion's wounds, she knocked him out. She turned her gaze upon the small stallion once more.

"You are one hundred percent certain that you don't know who gave you this job?" She asked for clarification. He frantically nodded.

"Do you know who might?" She prodded further.

"Ei-Either him or our associate, Onyx." He admitted. Tempest smiled appreciatively at him.

"I'm going to knock you out now, little one." Tempest said before doing just that. She unhooked the small stallion and threw him in a cell separate from the one they were already in. She then left the dungeons of the castle and made her way to the owner of said castle. Tempest searched for the princes of the castle and finally found her in her throne room.

"Princess Twilight, I have some news for you." Tempest said before bowing to her.

"You may rise Tempest, and come over here!" Twilight told the byzantium unicorn, who did as she was told and was now directly in front of the lavender Alicorn.

"While were on this topic, did you find an orange unicorn when you came inside the castle?" Twilight asked with concern in her voice.

"Yes, she was unconscious on the ground and I moved her to a couch. Who is she, if you don't mind me asking?" Tempest replied.

"She is my secretary and a friend. I hope she isn't hurt badly." Twilight said.

"She was only knocked unconscious, Princess Twilight. She'll probably have a bad headache for a few days." Tempest comforted the lavender princess.

"Anyway, I need to tell you the information I got out of those ponies. They were mercenaries hired by somepony to kidnap somepony to blackmail you for something, They decided to go after Spike because he is your son. That was all I got from the one who was willing to talk. I unfortunately broke the other pony's jaw in my efforts to persuade him. The one was willing to talk was a newbie so he didn't have much information, I apologize for not getting more." She informed the princess.

"There is somepony who wants to kidnap somepony close to me? Well hehehe WHO DARES?!?!?!" Twilight screamed.

"I'm sorry but there is no way I can get that information as the only one who is talking without issue doesn't know because he was a new recruit. The one of them who might I broke his jaw, though the kid did mention an associate, somepony named Onyx." Tempest told Twilight.

"Hmm, if I'm going to deal with stuff like this, maybe I should enlist a royal guard." Twilight contemplated to herself.

"Tempest would you want to be the Captain of my Royal Guard?!"

"YES-ahem, I mean uh yes, I would very much like that Princess Twilight." Tempest said happily. 'YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!' She inwardly screamed.

"Well then, welcome to your new job, Captain Tempest." Twilight smiled. Tempest Shadow bowed before the her princess.

"Thank you, my Princess, I will serve you to the best of my abilities." Tempest said with glee. Twilight got up from her throne and embraced her into a great hug. Tempest after recovering from her momentary shock returned the hug to the princess.

"We'll get you an outfit befitting of my Royal Guard Captain as soon as possible." Twilight told the byzantium unicorn.

"Yes, my Princess." Tempest accepted, more excited at the idea of getting Twilight's Cutie Mark over her flank than she probably should be. Twilight then started to pet the byzantium unicorn, expecting her to pull away with a blush, but she was pleasantly surprised when the mare leaned into her and started purring.

"Do you like being pet, Tempest?" Twilight inquired with a teasing grin on her muzzle.

"Only if it's you, my Princess." Tempest admitted, blush forming on her muzzle. Twilight's grin grew wider at this revelation. Tempest then nuzzled her cheek against the taller mare's own. Twilight's three pets cooed at the adorable scene, happy to share there Mistress if their Mistress cares for the pony. The adorable scene was sadly ruined however when somepony burst through the doors.

Tempest whipped around and saw another pony with a mask similar to the ones the other two she...apprehended earlier wore. She detached herself from Twilight and stood in front of her Princess defensively. The stallion charged him and she stood her ground. Ducking under the stallion's attack she uppercut him in the jaw before jumping after him and throwing him into the ground. He kicked at her as she approached him which she sidestepped easily before stabbing him in the chest with her horn before activating her magic, sending it flowing through the stallion and watched him as he was electrocuted, growing a sadistic grin as she watched him convulse on the floor.

"Looks like there was a third." Tempest said as she ripped off the mask the pony was wearing. Twilight then cast a spell that swept through her entire castle.

"He is the only other pony here aside from the two in the dungeons, Sunbeam, and everypony in this room." Twilight informed the ponies in the room. She then teleported the stallion into a cell in the dungeons.

"Good job, Tempest. Just what I expected from you." Twilight said with a smile, causing the byzantium unicorn to shiver at the praise.

"Well, I'm going to go get a uniform fashioned for you, Tempest. I'll be back feel free to wander the halls and get used to your surroundings." Twilight informed before teleporting herself and Sunset and Trixie, leaving Starlight behind at her behest.

"Any particular reason why you asked her to stay behind?" Tempest asked with curiosity. Starlight walked over to the taller mare.

"I want to get to know you. Your Mistress's best friend are you not?" Starlight asked.

"I would definitely say she is MY closest friend and the most important pony in my life, but I'm sure she has way more important ponies to her." Tempest Shadow admitted.

"Well the way she was talking about you earlier says otherwise, not to mention the fact that she is making YOU Captain of her Royal Guard. You mean a lot to Mistress, Tempest." Starlight assured.

"Do you really think so, I'm sorry I don't think I caught your name earlier." Tempest said sheepishly.

"My name Is Starlight S. Glimmer and I know so, Tempest." Starlight said, leaving no room for argument.

"If you don't mind me asking, what does the S stand for?" Tempest inquired curiosity written on her muzzle.

"We all have an S in the middle of our names, now. It stands for Sparkle." Starlight said with a suggestive grin on her muzzle. Tempest's muzzle began to grow red from her blush.

"I-I thought that this Mistress thing was just some sort of fetish play thing." Tempest said.

"Nope. We have given ourselves to Mistress one hundred percent in every way." Starlight clarified proudly, showing off her collar with pride.

"Is she looking for a fourth?!?" Tempest all but demanded, worry written on her muzzle thinking the mauve unicorn was going to say no.

"I asked her if she was going to ask you to join us and she told me that she would let you join if you asked her to. Now I had no idea how you felt about this before now, I can obviously tell now." Starlight informed the byzantium unicorn.

"Well not only being able to be her Captain, but also her pet would mean so much to me. She showed me the error of my ways, not to mention she saved my life more than once. It would be such a pleasure being able to please her in any way I can. But I'm worried about how you three would feel about sharing her with somepony you hardly even know." Tempest confessed.

"I would love to have you a sister pet, Tempest." Starlight said whilst putting a reassuring hoof on her fellow unicorn's shoulder.

"R-Really?" Tempest asked with hope in her voice. Her hopes were met when the mauve unicorn nodded.

"Thank you, Starlight." Tempest said happily. "Now we'll have to wait for Twilight to gets back from getting my uniform before we can make this official." She continued with a smile.

"Oh, she didn't go to get you a uniform, I asked her to make something up and leave with the others so I could talk to you alone." Starlight clarified when she saw the byzantium mare's ears droop in disappointment.

"Well I suppose it didn't make sense to get me a uniform without my proper measurements." Tempest said after breathing a sigh of relief. Tempest then decided to wonder around the castle, Starlight tagging on.

A thought raced through her head and she broke into a gallop. Although she was surprised, Starlight quickly followed her new friend.

"Tempest? What's wrong?" Starlight asked frantically.

"I left Sunbeam on her own on a couch out in the open while she was unconscious. Three ponies have broke and there is no telling what that third pony did to her if he did anything." Tempest said frantically, skidding as she made a sharp turn to her left. After galloping down the hall she came to stop in front of the room she left Sunbeam Crush in. Tempest let out a sigh of relief as she saw that the orange unicorn was safe and sound right where she left her. She then whipped her head back into Sunbeam's direction as she heard her groan and shift. Tempest and Starlight then went over to her as she continued to shift.

"Mmmh....huh?" Sunbeam groaned as she sat up.

"Miss Starlight? What's going on? Who is this?" The confused mare asked.

"Hello Sunbeam. This is Tempest Shadow, she is the one who found you when you were unconscious and moved you somewhere comfortable." Starlight informed the creamy orange mare.

"Is that so? Thank you Miss Tempest." Sunbeam said gratefully, before shooting up suddenly.

"W-Wait a minute There were two ponies who attacked me and knocked me unconscious! We need to inform Princess Twilight about the intruders!!" Sunbeam said frantically. Tempest chuckled at the mare's antics for a minute before calming her nerves.

"It's alright, Sunbeam. I have already taken care of the two intruders. There was a third, but I have taken care of him as well." Tempest assured the mare. Sunbeam calmed down at the assurance that the intruders were taken care of.

"I wonder why they were here in the first place." Sunbeam contemplated to herself.

"They were here to kidnap somepony close to Mistress and they went after Spike. Tempest here found this information out after...persuading the two stallions to talk." Starlight informed the orange mare. Sunbeam gave the two purple mares an inquisitive look at this.

"You mean like torture?" She inquired with a speculating look on her muzzle. Tempest nodded in response to the question.

"Good. They deserved it for messing with Princess Twilight." Sunbeam said happily.

"Oh I can tell I'm going to like you." Tempest said with a smile.

"Oh Celestia! I'm behind on my work now! I'm so sorry I would love to stay and chat with you two but I need to get to work see you later!" Sunbeam hastily said before rushing off to her office.

"As Twilight's Secretary she must be pretty busy." Tempest commented.

"Anyways, If Twilight didn't leave to get a uniform for me, what do you think she is actually doing?" Tempest asked the mauve unicorn next to her as they began to walk through the castle halls.

"If I had to guess, she probably went to get you a collar, anticipating you eagerness to become her pet." Starlight told the byzantium unicorn with a suggestive grin. Tempest gained a hopeful look.

"Do you think so?" Tempest asked, her hopes ever present in her voice and expression.

"I'm positive." Starlight assured, having known that's what her Mistress went to do via their mental link.

"In that case, I hope Mistress will be pleased with my services. Oh fuck it feels good to call her Mistress." Tempest said happily.

"I know, right! Anyways, allow me to be the first pony to welcome you to our loving family." Starlight said as she embraced the larger mare in a hug, which she returned happily.

"Thank you, Sister." Tempest grinned.
