Hightalon Czarina Dark Feather glared at the radio which had just stopped playing an emergency broadcast, each kingdom, empire, nation, or country, had one specialized radio which they could send everyone messages if need be to other kingdoms, empires, or nations. The message she had just received was troubling to say the least, beings of pure shadows where set to attack the entire world and anyone living. If this was to be true she would be completely stupid to ignore it, as such she turned to her general and spoke. "I want you to begin the evacuation of all griffons, and key personal along with myself to our fallback on the Griffon islands, our foes as described can't use tools or aircraft, so we shall simply flee to where they cannot follow, I want this done within the hour, go now." As for why she actually took the message seriously rather than disregarding it? Rather simple, Princess Celestia may be known for pranks sometimes, but the Solar Princess wouldn't dare risk international relations for a prank, let alone something supposedly serious.

Her Head General Stormclaw saluted. "Yes Hightalon Czarina!" He spread his wings and took flight out of an open window in the throne room, while Hightalon Czarina Dark Feather grabbed a few of her important items and headed to the head airship of the fleet and boarded, some of her soldiers would remain to fight the foes using their experimental arcane rifles which had actually been prototype designs stolen from Equestrian laboratories, these had been taken, and tinkered with for the past several months, and where nowhere near ready for implementation, but desperate times required untested solutions. Beings made of shadows would laugh in the face of grenades and rifles and machine guns, but energy blasts would likely be effective against them as logic would likely prevail in that aspect. She watched from the bridge of the airship as griffon military personal rushed to and fro, and civilians began to be herded onto the airships, some of the females clutching eggs in a cloth pouch, so unborn young would be brought as well.

Several massive lines of civilians where being herded over to the civilian transport airships, with several griffon soldiers each keeping order, a soldier waved to the airship as if to get the civilians to move faster. "Come on! We need to be out of here as soon as possible, everyone get into the damned airship already! Orders from the Hightalon is to be loaded and gone within an hour!" The line of civilians hurried their pace to comply with the order, that griffon held a gun after all, and the fact it was an order from the Hightalon. Not all would go, some had to be forced, a good majority would be left behind simply due to lack of time to force everyone onto airships, those who stayed would die as they wished, their punishment for being stubborn in the face of an enemy they'd have no hope to defeat in one blow. As sad as it was a good chunk of the griffons would die unless they fled to the clouds, this was a choice that Hightalon Czarina Dark Feather was given no choice in if she wished to see even a fraction of her empire survive this.

Mark tanks with experimental arcane cannon rolled up, they would be a last ditch effort to protect the civilians and military personal, trucks loaded with barrel after barrel of Diesel rolled onto one of the heavier military transport airships, this fuel would be needed to make the trip to the Griffon Islands. Troops carrying their experimental arcane rifles, and some carrying normal bolt actions and luger rifles marched around, they would also defend the airships for as long as possible should the enemy show up before they had been ready to leave. It would take a matter of hours after all, even when rushing. The ones holding normal ballistics had mostly been there to make the civilians feel better, and themselves feel better about the threat that was to come, but she wasn't stupid and as mentioned before, knew ballistics would be all but useless. If all went as planned, they'd be gone by the time the enemy showed up, leaving only a few hundred soldiers and a couple tanks to protect their city, their capital, and the citizens who refused or simply couldn't board the airships.

Queen Najam Alsahra rolled her eyes at the message which she had play over her personal emergency radio a few moments ago, likely just another Equestrian trick to fool her empire into fleeing, leaving behind their goods such as fine silks, and most importantly leaving their coffee trees unguarded and open for harvesting by some greedy enemy so they could plant their own. Her advisor looked up at her from a lower section of the throne room. "My Queen I think we should heed this warning, even Princess Celestia wouldn't joke about matters such as this, and it would be wise to heed her and her sister Princess Luna in this warning."

Queen Najam Alsahra glared down at her advisor, the mare beginning to cower under her gaze. "I will not fall for Celestia's pathetic little tricks and attempts to undermine my authority and claim to land of which belongs to us, begone of all your willing to do is play into their little tricks." The advisor bowed and quickly left in a hurry. Queen Najam Alsahra glanced at the clock on the wall, which read just past noon.

As such she clapped her hands and a servant walked up and bowed. "Yes My Queen?" She asked, before standing back up but keeping her head bowed down in respect of her ruler.

Najam Alsahra rolled her eyes as if the servant hadn't been doing this for several years. "It is time for my late evening meal, I wish for several slices of petabread and hummus, along with a glass of carrot juice, unsweetened."

The servant bowed again. "Yes my Queen, at once my Queen." And rushed off to get her Queen the desired items.

Najam Alsahra glared at the radio once more as it began to replay the message. "As I stated before, this is Princess Celestia, ruler of the Kingdom of Equestria, we have received confirmation that living shadows have begun to attack every living thing they can get their claws on, I advise all nations and kingdoms to take measures to defend and protect themse-" Najam had clicked the power button for the radio and sighed happily as it died a second later without power, before saying to herself. "Such foolishness."

-----------------------------------------------------Lorenzo's Empire------------------------------------

I had gotten a message from Princess Celestia over the radio I had in my pipboy about beings made of living shadows, which instantly made me think of my old pal Sombra, as such I had him called in. We had a long conversation which ended up with me wanting to beat the fuck out of Amore, since apparently she had known about the vault hidden deep below the crystal palace back in the abandoned Crystal Empire, and simply never thought to mention it, before I remembered her memories had been fragmented so horribly from what had been done to her, that she was still remembering things every day. Being turned into obsidian and then shattered to the corners of the globe does not do well for ones mental health, so I decided not to find her and scream at her while beating her face in with a powerfist.

Instead I took Celestia's warning and mandated the evacuation of all non military personal to the Crystal City starship, a few had tried to resist this, however I left no room for argument as any who refused to evacuate would be taken by force, the two jails within the Empire locked down and all robotic staff remained on alert with old Automatic Scattershot AER-9 laser rifles. The few who where allowed to ignore this evacuation order where those who could and would fight for the Empire regardless of the danger, however key military personal had been evacuated to give orders from orbit. The portal gates used to board the starship where beginning to spark, but all civilians who wouldn't hold weapons and use them against the enemy to come, was sent through and the portals closed, the portals to the Letera and Akun home worlds closed as well, but FTL communication kept both planets in contact with the starship fleet in orbit, I made sure Sunbeam Cuddle, and her husband Rewrite, a blue unicorn, he also worked for me, editing emails and the like the same as Sunbeam Cuddle did. I had the underground superstructure sealed off and the reactors below activate their own defenses, if they got damaged in the battle, they'd eject like a missile into low orbit and blow to prevent damaging the superstructure or the ground above. The Abyssians had actually done something which surprised me, they decided to do the exact same with their small fleet of ships to get their entire population off the planet.

Each Akun Conquest Fleet starship could hold a couple thousand each with their cryogenic sleep pods, and then they had facilities to hold workers and soldiers outside of cryosleep, which the Abyssinians took full advantage of using the cryogenic pods to store their own civilians and taking to orbit, their population wasn't that big since they had been moved closer to my Empire, they even had their own mini crystal heart to help protect them from the weather and other such things, which I had authorized them to have, so at the moment the city that sat outside my Empire sat empty, which would mean that the Abyssians would suffer no losses. I sighed checking the energy shields readings, the only living things left within the Empire had been soldiers and the few civilians willing to fight, the rest was combat robots using energy weapons, seeing as ballistics would be useless against things that had no flesh in which to punch through. Even the Akun soldiers had been switched to all energy weapons for this short time, I wouldn't allow ballistics. If the need came their aircraft would take off and drop cluster bombs which would drop small plasma grenades, thousands of them per cluster bomb.
