"You will have to answer each and ever question honestly. If you feel you can't tell the truth then you don't have to answer. Am I clear?" Celestia said.

"Very, anything else I need to know?" Siege asked.

"No, shall we begin?"

"Okay."

"First of all. What is your name and what are you doing here."

"My name is Siege and I am Guardian of this system and I am tasked with Defending and hiding this system from my faction and its enemies. My secondary mission is to keep all Factions from discovering a strange energy held within this system."

"How old are you?"

"Well physically and hormonally I'm 19, But I'm 79 in lifespan."  

"Why does our "System" as you call it, need protection and what is a system?"

"A system is a group of planets rotating a star and my organisation is trying to keep more Intelligent life from being force into our war, or wiped out." Siege said this without sign of emotion.

"War...... How long have you and your nation been fighting?"

"Since my nation has been fighting hmmm..... well Its hard too say. We have been fighting for more than a 1000 years, but to give an precise time would require so more research, which is something I rarely do. How long I've been fighting in this war. Well considering my age right now. I'd say about 15 years now. All I really remember is training for battle and then battling later on in my life."

"You said you have been in Equestria for 60 years now. Why show yourself now instead of long ago."

"Well I have been sleeping, technically, for about 60 years time in what is a called a chamber. I'm still conscious inside but have little awareness to the things around me. I was awakened a few days ago due to the threat of Cell discovering intelligent life here."

"What was "Cell" doing here what is it and what happened to the ones found on the planet?"

"They had set a mining station down by chance. They are a rival faction to that off mine." Siege looked down breaking the eye contact. "My job was to eliminate them without doing harm to the planet."

All the ponies in the room where shocked. Though the look of princess Celestia and Rainbow Dash changed from shock to understandment. He had only done it to protect them and all the other living creatures on there little planet, not only that but Rainbow Dash watched part of it happen. It was a harsh reality.

Celestia hesitated for a second before asking.

"Have you succeeded in your...... Elimination..........?"

"Yes......"

"I think we have had enough questions for now." Celestia ended. She could see the pain in Siege's eyes and decided that digging deeper would only lead to more pain for him and shock for the peaceful ponies.

"You are welcome to stay here in the castle for a while and when you are ready we shall continue our questioning."

Siege nodded and then left the room.

"Twilight, you and your friends may also stay is you so choose, I think it may help Siege handle all this. I can see his heart is heavy and we need to help take some of that weight off." Celestia said.

Twilight looked at the rest. They all nodded and Twilight turned back around. "We will do it, princess!"

Celestia Smiled and the ponies walked out of the room. They found Siege looking out a window.

"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked quietly. Siege turned to her and nodded. "I just needed some time to think. Anyways enough about my problems. Where do we sleep?"

Fluttershy and the rest followed Twilight to there rooms. This was not the first time she had stayed in the princess's castle and knew her way around. She showed them which room they would be staying in. There were six beds in the room, each with there own closest next to them. It was a large room with a bathroom next to it.

"I have to say, I'm gonna miss that forest." Siege said with a little frown.

"Why in the world would you miss such a place?" Rarity asked distastefully.

"It feels more natural and calm. The shadings and colors in the forest give me the feeling I'm home."

Rarity was trying to think of something to say and decided to change subject.

"I must say, your clothing to look quite nice, but don't you ever get sick of wearing them all the time? Don't you wear anything else?"

"Well, I have always liked these clothes, I guess the only thing I don't like is the visor... It doesn't really match but I need it so that I can do my job. Good news it i don't have to wear it all the time, as long as I have it with me." Siege realized that he failed to mention his cloths were part of his suit and that it would be very hard to change them on his own.

At that moment the ponies realized something important. There were only six beds, but there were six ponies and one human now.

"Where is Siege going to sleep? These beds aren't even big enough for him." Twilight said.

"I could just sleep on the floor. Or outside for that matter. One of those grass fields outside would be fine. Having the stars above my head would be nice." Siege said. He really didn't like sleeping inside. After sitting for his chamber for so long, he welcomed the outside with open arms. He even seen a lake with fish during his race with Rainbow Dash.

Twilight was about to say it was okay but then remembered what the princess had said. Instead she would go ask if Siege could sleep in her royal garden. That way he could stay close by and get what he wanted.

"If you wait here, I will see if I can have us both get our ways." Twilight responded.

"Fine by me." Siege ended as Twilight walked out of the room.

The ponies and Siege start a casual conversation which ended up turning into a minor argument between Siege and rarity about sleeping outside. The other ponies just kinda watched as the two countered each others arguments with one of there own.

There argument was abruptly ended by Pinkie Pie. "I completely forgot, I need to prepare a *Welcome to Equestria and thanks for saving us inside the Everfree forest twice* Party."

Instead of acting confused like the ponies thought Siege would do, he acted almost as strange as Pinkie Pie and started talking about the party.

"Will there be some more of those delicious muffins?" Siege asked.

"Ofcourse, there will be muffins and cake and cupcakes, Oh and even a cake made out of even smaller cakes which will be made by even smaller cakes with cupcakes all other it!"

"Each cakes will have to be a different flavor or else you'll ruin the effect!"

Both of them just kept talking about the party and what it would be like even after twilight had returned.

"The only question left is where are we going to throw it?" Siege continued.

"Throw what?" Twilight asked confused.

"His party silly. We're gonna have cake and cupcakes and muffins and they'res going to be balloons and slingers and...." Pinkie Pie said full of excitement.

"I get it, theres going to be party. Wait, why is there going to be party?" Twilight asked.

"To welcome Siege to Equestria and thank him for saving us twice. I mean duuuuuuuuh"  Pinkie replied.

"And your okay with this?" Twilight turn to Siege.

"Of course I am, Who would turn down a party?" Siege replied smiling warmly. He had never experience so much fun in one day. All his time training and fighting meant the only time he ever got to do stuff for himself was during trips from planet to planet.  He was going to enjoy ever moment of his time before a new problem came up. The leaders of the Guardian project tended to drop there problems on the guardians and now that one of there best had been awakened, it would take long for them to start. It helped keep the guardians on the tows and keep them ready for battle.

"Lets just have the party here, in this room." Siege suggested "Its not like tons of pe..... Ponies are coming to the party."

"Thats a great idea, I'll go get the party things!! Pinkie shouted out. She bolt out the door.

"Wait, I want to come with!!" Siege yelled as he rushed out the door after Pinkie.

The ponies left in the room just kinda stood there for moment. This never happened before and they didn't know how to react. Normally when Pinkie got a party idea in her head she would just gasp and shoot off but this time she waited for a moment. Maybe this was her way of helping Siege.

All the remaining ponies found something to do. Twilight went straight to the library. She remembered how Siege was able to calm down princess Luna nullify her magic and even teach them how to understand and speak his language. She was going to do research on the matter and see if there where creatures other than ponies that could use magic, aside from Discord.

Rarity began making drawing oh Sieges clothing trying to replicate and ponify the look. She had taken quite some interest in his clothing and wonder what is would look like on a pony.

Applejack and Fluttershy decided to look around the town some more. Applejack started checking out all the food stores whilst Fluttershy looked around for stores that sold medicine or ingredients.

Rainbow Dash went straight to bed. Her race with Siege had really tired her and she just needed some sleep.

After a couple hours all the ponies except for Pinkie pie and Siege. They were all getting ready for bed when Pinkie Pie came bouncing in, followed by Siege with tons of boxes in his hands.

"Whats in the boxes?" Twilight asked.

"The party stuff that Siege picked out. I thought you were the smarty pants of the group." Pinkie responded Impatiently.

"Well this it the first time you haven't just bolted off and prepared a party."

"Siege is not  a pony, Twilight. I don't know what kind of parties humans like."

"I never thought of like that." Twilight end the conversation. Even Pinkie Pie was getting tired and the rest were all in bed already. Siege set the boxes down next to Pinkie's bed and started walking out of the room.

"Wait!!" Twilight yelled. She almost forgot to tell Siege. "I asked the princess and she said you could sleep in her royal garden. Just try not to disturb the animals too much."

Siege nodded and continued walking. Though she hadn't told him were it was, it wasn't that hard to find. He had walked past the entrance a few times when he was getting everything for the party with Pinkie Pie. He liked her a lot. She was able to turn almost anything into a joke which is something Siege also enjoyed doing. Though he did it in a more subtle.

He looked around the garden. "This is nothing like the forest, but I guess it will have to do."  He looked up at the mountains and saw the peak of the mountain Canterlot was connected to. "I wonder what its like up there." He smiled and started to run. Clawing his way up on of the garden walls and made his way up the mountain. Climbing was one of his big joys and he took every chance he could to climb even when he was in battle using the excuse that he was checking enemies positions. This time he didn't need an excuse though and didn't miss his opportunity.

It didn't take to long to make it up the mountain. He looked down for a moment and everything look tiny. Even the tower he had been on the day before look like a simple dot from his height. Once he had made it to the top something surprised him.

There sat princess Luna. She was looking up at the sky. After all the had happened to her she just could look at the sky the same way. Now she knew that she was for from a lone in the universe and that it was full of life.

"I didn't expect to find you up here." Siege said, making Luna jump a little. She was just as surprised to find Siege here.

"Why did you come all the way up here?" She asked softly.

"I wanted to see as much of this land as I could. From here that would be easier." Siege wasn't lying. He could see the Everfree forest, tons of towns and villages and even some cities of in the distance. Using his visor he was able to get an even easier and detailed view of everything.

"Are you enjoining your stay here in Equestria so far?" Luna asked kindly.

Siege took of his visor and answered.

"I have enjoined it to the fullest so far and I'm hoping to have more fun experiences here. I kinda have to."

"Why is that."

"I am never to leave this system again, it is my duty as Guardian. Even if this planet were to gone down in flames I would stay and protect it. This place is now my home and I will do my best to protect it from all that might stand in my way."

"I'm glad we have such a protector, but don't underestimate me or my sister. We have guided Equestria for a very long time and do not plan on failing it."

"So we are a team then. Oh by the way, this might sound a bit odd but could you cast that spell that you tried to use on my again? It doesn't have to be on me of course but I would like to see what it should have done." Siege asked. He had been able to stop the magic by as he thought of it detuning the wave but he wanted to see if he could mimic as well.

"I don't see why not." Luna replied. Her horn started glowing as she pick up a rock with her magic. it was simple magic that almost any unicorn could do.

Siege focused on what he called the "Tune". He felt the waves of energy like tunes and songs. The more you pulled the strings of energy the more complicated the tune became and if enough where plucked a song would form. He had written his own song by learning how to change the emotional or mental state of a animals but that was all he knew.

He listen to the tune Luna played and replayed it focusing on some other rocks. They glowed deep red and he started lifting them at ease. The more rocks he picked up and the more strings had been plucked. Eventually he had written a new song making the rocks dance around him.

Luna watched as Siege started performing more complicated movements with the rocks. He started move the rocks to make the look like figures. She didn't know why but it kind of looked like the figures were playing out a story.

"I'm very impressed. Never before have I seen someone master a spell so quickly." Luna said smiling.

"I've had a very long time to understand this magic. I just never got to play a new song." Siege replied.

"A song......? What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, its just my way of saying a spell... I cast the spells like one would play a guitar, plucking away at the natural energy."

"But you said you had only been awakened for a couple days now."

"Yes, I have been awake for a few days but I was still able to feel and hear all the things around me. Considering I didn't have much else to do, I would focus in on the strange energy around me and slowly taught myself how to pluck the cords and play a song. It was quite useful to prepare my Successor."

"Speaking of this *Successor* What and who is it?"

"Little Fluttershy is my Successor and when the time comes and she has made her choice, she will become the new Guardian of this system."

"But she is a harmless young pony. Why in the world would you choose her to do what you do? She wouldn't have the heart!!"

"That is just it. She does. In the face of unrivaled danger she has shaken all fears away and confronted the danger. And she does all this without lose her kind heart. She will become a far better Guardian then I every would, as long as she can face the regret and sorrow it brings."

"Would you really do such a cruel thing?"

Luna would regret making that comment.

"Do not speak of cruel. She, nor you have faced what true cruelty is and I pray that you never will! The things I have witnessed and done will haunt me for the rest of my life. All for the sake of overs, not once in my life have I had the chance to change it other than the fact I stand here today. Survival and victory have been the only things I have been aloud to care for! I have watched close friends died or betrayed me, all in the hopes of some ill fated victory. So speak not to me off cruel! Siege yelled full of anger.

"You think I know not off cruelty?!? My own sister banished me to the moon for a 1000 years. Left there without anyone to comfort me or to speak to!! I was left alone with out a hit of life to help me!!" Luna started to cry.

"That was a fate you brought down on yourself!! You think I did not feel as you were released?!? You corrupted the world around you in hopes of revenge and hate only so be saved before doing any real harm!  Feel lucky they where there to save you! You got a new chance at life to redeem for what you have done! I have been given no such chance, nor will it ever come until the final moment, when I fall to my knees and end my use to the universe!"

The look in Sieges eyes changed from anger to full blown regret and sorrow. A single tear rolled down his face. He hated himself for what he had down and regretted taking it out on Luna even more. Siege took a few deep breathes as he tried to call himself.

"I'm sorry." He said. His voice reflected what his eyes were saying. "I'm sorry for everything."

The two sat there for what seemed like an eternity. Both of them regretted what they said, but also felt better just to get it out. Neither of them had gotten the chance to do so before. Luna finally wiped the last of the tears from her eyes and walked over to Siege. Since they ended there fight he had been looking at the sky, Staring at all the stars and moon.

"I'm sorry, I should not of reacted like that to you." Siege said turning his head to Luna as she sat down beside him.

"Be both regretted what we said. I would have not spoken in such a way and a known just how much pain you felt." Luna replied quietly.

The two sat there for awhile making small talk as the mended there emotional wounds.

"There is one last thing you will need to know about what become a Successor means. Once she accepts the duty she will no longer be pony..... You see our suits don't work on anything other than humans, something which is needed if she is going to protect all this which you have guarded for so long." Siege said softly trying not to spark anything.

"Are you saying that she will become like you... A human?" Luna asked with some enthusiasm, trying to stay calm.

"Yes...." Siege replied. "But she will only change if she so chooses. I will force nothing upon her."  Siege said. The look of regret in his eyes was almost gone.

Luna not knowing if to be happy or scared accepted it without any further question. She was finally back to her old self.

"Lets not talk about it any further. If I am correct you have a party tomorrow and we both need some sleep."

Siege nodded. "Thanks for the talk, I needed to get that out." He smiled at Luna who gave a little smile back and they started  making there way down the mountain.

Once down Luna went to her room. She walked past Celestia who had just gotten up. Celestia gave her a confused look but Luna just ignored it and continued walking.

Siege made his way the the Garden and found a nice place to sleep. I laid under a large tree found in the center of the garden and fell asleep peacefully. Yet another eventful night had gone by and as he fell asleep he wondered what life still had left to throw at him before he could find some true peace.
