Captain Fenris Lore

"Thanks. Thanks a lot Serioil."

Serioil nodded, and trotted off. He was disguised as a Royal Guard.

The short guard, known as Gill, shook his head. He was a unicorn with stereotypical white coat and blue mane, and sapphire eyes. He was worried about working with Serioil, but thought it was a suitable risk to take.

Meanwhile, Starswirl walked up to him. She had an orange coat with red and yellow striped mane, and deep green eyes. She was sad, distraught by Serioils appearence.

"Why'd you hire him?"

Gill sighed. "Come on, you know we had almost nothing to find that son of a bitch. He does. I want to help you Starswirl, but I need his help to do it."

Starswirl shook her head, tears appearing in her emerald eyes. "No. You just... We were in LOVE! I mean, I... Can I tell you a secret?"

Gill nodded. "But you really think I, of all ponies, should know?"

Starswirl nodded. "That night, at the party... He took my virginity."

Gill laughed. He couldn't help it. Their had been rumors that that bastard had stolen her virginity that night since he carted her off to a more private place that night eight years before.

Starswirl looked at him angrily. "It isn't funny!"

"She's right Gill."

The two looked, and saw the tall guard walk up. Gill promptly stormed off.

Kel, as the tall one was named, was elegant, with a scarlet coat and a violet mane. He smiled faintly at Starswirl.

Starswirl sighed. "I realized he betrayed us, but to kill him... It just doesn't see right."

Kel immediately saw Starswirl breaking into full crying. Trying to comfort her, he wrapped his arms around her, which she lightly accepted. "It'll be alright. Come on, look at what he did with us. He can take care of himself."

Starswirl sniffed. "Yeah, but he *sob* was so nice to us. He *sob* was like a *sob* great friend." With that, she buried her face into Kels fur, sobbing uncontrollably.

Kel sighed, sadly looking at the once strong willed mare. "It'll be ok. Don't cry, I promise... He'll be ok..."

...

Fenris sighed, closing his eyes at the memory of losing his virginity. Felon, meanwhile, looked at him skeptically.

"So you lost your virginity to a guy? Does that make you gay?"

Fenris chuckled and opened his eyes. "No. I like both, to be truthful. You know, we ought to get moving. I feel there's a town nearby, and I wouldn't mind some actual grub, even if it's as simple as a hay and daisy sandwich."

As such, in the evening they began moving one more.

After about an hour, just as the sun went down, Fenris asked "Felon, what's YOUR sexual preference."

Felon twitched. "Ur, well, I really, haven't decided yet."

"You're gay aren't you."

Felon looked at him angrily. "Really!? You just suppose because I haven't shown any preference that I'm gay!? That's ridiculous! I mean, Fenris, come on!"

Fenris backed down. He realized he'd done something wrong, and immediately let it correct itself.

An hour or so later, they stopped and set up an early camp. Fenris sat down next to the fire, while Felon looked for firewood.

Suddenly, their was a green flash in the distance, and the sound of an explosion followed just after. Fenris lept to his hooves, put the fire out with astounding speed, and met with Felon, who had run out of the woods.

"What WAS that?" asked Fenris.

Felon shook his head. "I have no clue. Let's check it out."

They sprinted thought the forest, only to find a devastated clearing, and a wounded changeling. They quickly went over to the changeling, who was bleeding and was in a VERY bad condition.

"Who are you?" he asked his voice raspy.

"Lord Captain Fenris Lore, Seventh Airfleet."

The changelings eyes lit up. "He... He told me to give you this..." he handed a letter to Fenris, then continued. "He... My squad... He killed them all... 31st..."

He expired, and Fenris knew what killed him. It was all in the letter:

Dear Captain Fenris Lore,

I see you are smart, trying to go to the mountains for cover. Where else could you be going? Anyway, I know your girlfriend, Elicla. I have her in my custody. If your smart, head to Los Haygus. There, you will find a bar called Blue Death. Ask the bartender "To be or not to be" and he will give you an address outside the city. Go to it, enter, and I will give you your girl. If you do not, then she dies, and the rest of your squad will be on my top priority list.

Sincerely,

Colonel Erasalo. 31st Equestrian Renegade Marine Infantry Division

Fenris looked at Felon. Felon immediately said, cocky, "What, afraid of an old Colonel."

Fenris shook his head. I need to tell you more stories. Anyway; how the hell does this guy know so much about me?"

...

Erasalo smiled. While the Genral was away for a while, he could control the Division, and this Fenris figure was too tempting. According to an informant, he was simply a prize too easy to give up.

As for his girlfriend, Elicla, simply to easy to catch.

His butler walked up to him. "Sir, the Royal Guard squad are here."

Erasalo smiled. "Great. Bring them in."

So Starswirl and her squad trotted in, to which Starswirl asked "Sir, you requested us?"

Erasalos smiled widened. "Yes, I would like you to head to Los Haygus and look for this changeling." With that, he held up a picture of Fenris.

Starswirl blinked, and fainted as memory overtook her...
