Celestia stared hard at the arrow and used her magic to unravel the letter on it. Rainbow walked towards her and grabbed her sword. Celestia's eyes scanned the letter.

"Well?"

Celestia read the letter aloud. "Hello Commander Dash and Princess Celestia. I guess you've got my letter. I hired the best archer to aim at you Celestia but I know that Commander would protect you by using her sword. She's very good with that sword, I'll be careful. So how did you like my sneak attack? I'm sure those ponies would of wanted you to help them, wouldn't they Commander? But you just watched. How helpless you are. I thought that you were a good swordspony. Seems like you were no match. I'm now choosing a place to attack next. I'll see you soon Celestia, and you, Commander Rainbow Miriam Dash. Ta Ta for now. Sir A.N."

"How the hell does he know my full name? Not even Twilight knows my middle name!"

"He has his ways. Rainbow let me look at your sword." Rainbow pulled out her sword.

It was a pure silver rapier sword with gems across the handle resembling a rainbow. It also had R.M.D carved onto it. Rainbow's intials.

A yellow glow surrounded the sword. It began to sizzle and pop. Then blinding light shot out. Everyone covered their eyes in protection. When Celestia had finished she handed it to Luna and the same thing happened. The sword was done.

The sword was glimmering gold with diamonds on the handle. Carved on the handle was Rainbow's full name. Carved on the blade was 'FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC'.

"This sword is made from the suns gold and midnight diamonds. It should now protect you from dark magic. It can also use the elements of harmony's magic when it suspects an over power of dark magic."

"Wow! It beautiful!"

"Well, diamonds and gold always go together, that's why most of my dresses are gold and diamond." Rarity commented.

"Now, Rainbow Dash. We now need to plan about these attacks." Celestia walked over to a table that held a map of Equestria. The others followed.

"I'll get at least 30 soldiers guarding every town, city and village. I'll will protect Ponyville myself with my best soldiers."

"Why protect Ponyville more?" Luna asked.

"I have a gut feeling that he'll attack there."

The girls left and Rainbow Dash went to order the soldiers.

Half an later, everypony in Ponyville was surrounding Town Hall. All were muttering away.

"Please ponies calm down. We have an important announcement to make. Rainbow Dash, if you please." Mayor Mare stood to the side as Rainbow came on.

"Okay everypony. Rumors say that Equestria is at war. Unfortunately, it's true." Everypony gasped. "That is why I am here. I am the Commander of the Equestrian Army. Therefore I'll be protecting Ponyville. But if there is an attack, I want you to go to your cellars and basements and stay there. It's important that you do this as the opposition is a ruthless killer. Questions?" Everypony just stood there. Still shocked by the news. But one hoof crept upwards. It Diamond Tiara's dad, Filthy Rich.

"Yes there's war, but why should we trust you? For all we know this could be a prank."

"You want proof?! Why don't you go to Horseshoe Village, I'm sure the blood stained roads is enough proof. Besides, do you really think I'll stab myself. I don't think so. But if you don't want to believe me that's fine. Just don't ask me to help you while your blood spreads through your floor. Celestia and I want to protect Equestria, and I'll die for Equestria's and your safety." Rainbow walked of the stage leaving a gobsmacked crowd behind.
