Ch. 2 The Battle Plan

On a warm July evening Shining Armor sits in his ten with his Battle Commander and his Best Friend. They try to think of a plan that could get them an easy victory. His Battle Commander was the first to come up with a plan

"Shining Armor sir what if we make a bombs that the Cloudsdale Air Force can drop the Changelings. But the only drop them on groups of Changelings so we can maximize the number of Changelings that we kill."

Shining Armor replied

"Thats a good plan I want you to find somepony with the knowledge of making firebombs."

The Battle Commander gave a nod. Shining Armor's Best Friend spoke up and said

"Sir is there a certain battle formation that you want the soldiers in so we can hopefully minimize the number of casualties?"

Shining Armor replied with a nod and said

"I want a space in between each pony so we can make it easier if I decide that we need to charge at the enemy."

His Right Hand Man gave a nod.Shining Armor  sat a d started to think of a speech to boost morale he said

"Gentlemen I think we have our battle plan."

Ch.3 Memories And Grief

Shining Armor stayed up considerably late trying to think of a speech to give to the soldiers but he fell asleep when he was about halfway done writing his speech. he had a dream last night its was his fondest memory when he became a Royal Guard. But outside of his dream he was smiling it made him happy to see his whole family again but sadly as Chrysalis was ravaging through the land  he lost his mother and his father but he was happy to still have his sisterTwilight and Cadence.Then the dream faded away to when he became captain of the Royal Guard  once again happy to see his mother and father there. then suddenly Celestia walked up and put the Royal Purple helmet on him the suddenly the dream faded. Shining Armor was waken up by a messenger the messenger said

"Captain Shining Armor I have a note for you."

Shining Armor took the not from the messenger and read it to himself Shining Armor felt  a sudden rush of depression and sadness come over him, At that moment Shining Armor started to cry the messenger simply walked and left Shining Armor to cry. The note that was delivered to him read

"Dear Shining Armor, I'm said to tell you that the Crystal Empire has fallen and no survivors im sorry but Cadence  and Your foal are dead."

Ch.4 The Morale Booster

Shining Armor walked out of his tent to the sight of a thousands of Changelings off in the distance he let out a sigh and walked to the troops. For the first time in his life and nothing left no one to go home to cuddle no more parents to visit all he had left was his sister and all though he loved her deeply it wouldn't just be the same without his wife and daughter  he just didn't know anymore. Shining Armor stood in front of the whole army and started to give his speech.

"Today is the day the Queen Chrysalis and her army of Changelings reign of terror on Equestria will stop. We have all lost loved ones at one point during the crisis even *gulp* I have I lost my parents my wife and my beautiful  one year old baby. But today.....TODAY WE GET OUR REVENGE  FOR EVERYPONY THAT YOU HAVE LOST THAT WAS VERY CLOSE AND DEAR TO YOU LOVED ONES FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ALL WILL BE AVENGED TODAY WHO'S WITH ME!!!!"

The crowd of soldiers was pumped and ready to end this crisis once and for all so they could go back to their lives and any loved ones that weren't lost at the hooves of Queen Chrysalis. As the soldiers marched into positions the shouts of the soldiers grew louder with the Changelings growing nearer and nearer the all started to shout out the names of friends and family that were lost. while the rest shouted out

"For Canterlot For Equestria!!!"

Ch.6 The Sacrifice

Shining Armor awoken to find that the sack over his head was gone and he could see where he was. He was in the Canterlot Castle to be precise the room where he was married sudden images of that day flashed before his eyes he than realized that he was surrounded by Changelings and he looked up to find Celestia wrapped up in a cocoon he then tried to reach out but he was bound in ropes. He than looked up to see his former best friend standing next to Chrysalis they were talking the suddenly she reached over grabbed his old best friend and then began to feed on him, Shining Armor remembered the note that was delivered to him by the messenger. Then in a sudden burst of rage he broke the ropes that were tied around his arms and tackled Chrysalis off the balcony she was standing on as the fell to the ground Shining Armor shouted out

"FOR EQUESTRIA!!"

He and Chrysalis both hit the ground and both their lives were lost and then the whole Changeling army became frenzied and started attacking each other while this was going the remaining  soldiers retreated to let the Changelings fight each other. After an hour later all the Changelings were dead and Equestria was saved.

Two years after the great Equestrian Crisis nearly all of Equestria was rebuilt and the dead had been buried. The number ponies that lived in Equestria before the crisis was about five billion after the Crisis nearly 25 percent of the population had died. To honor the soldiers that had died two statues were made one to honor all of the dead soldiers and one to honor Shining Armor. On Shining Armor's statue they engraved something in the statue was engraved

"Let this statue be a reminder of the pony who sacrificed his own life to save all of Equestria. If he did not tackle Queen Chrysalis out of the tallest balcony of the Canterlot Castle we would not be here today. And so we made this statue of him so that we may never forget him."

But now her and the evil army are back and their hunger for love is almost as strong as their taste for revenge. Her and the evil army of Changelings have spent the last four days ravaging the land of Equestria and feeding on its poor helpless ponies. Shining Armor the captain of the Royal Guard requested that anypony with a will to fight to report to the last know standing city in Equestria Canterlot. The number of ponies that turned out was an amazing 20,000 ponies showed and Shining Armor got them geared up and ready for battle.He put a defensive barrier around The Kingdom of Canterlot but the spell was weak from the last run in with Chrysalis and wouldn't be very effective against hold the hordes of Changelings coming their way.

Our story begins approximately 24 hours before the army of Changelings reaches Canterlot. And the morale of the soldiers is at an all time low due to the fact that there is a spy in the army. That destroyed the catapults that could of made the battle a quick and easy victory. The captain of the Royal Army Shining Armor sits in his tent thinking of a plan that would ensure victory.

Ch.5 The Battle

On the early morning hours of July 17th the Royal Army and its 20,000 volunteers gathered in formation to stop the Equestrian Crisis. Shining Armor stood next to his Battle Commander and his Best Friend.

"Let them get as close as 15 feet the send in the fire bombers."

Shining Armor said to his Battle Commander. The Battle Commander replied by saying

"Yes sir."

The Battle Commander shouted

"READY.......BOMBERS AWAY!!"

and like that all the Pegasus were off to bomb the Changeling. All the front line heard was sound of burning Changelings and screams of agony and pain but they didn't feel bad for them. The Pegasus Bombers killed the whole front line of the Changelings everyone was shouting and rejoicing think it was over but when Shining Armor turned around he saw the whole Changeling Army heading their way. He shouted

"DEAR MOTHER OF CELESTIA ITS THE WHOLE ARMY!!!

he even saw Queen Chrysalis at the very back commanding over her army Shining Armor shouted

" CHARGE!!"

And at that moment all the soldiers charged and it became an all out warzone. Soon Shining Armor was fight along side with other soldiers. As he looked to his left he saw soldiers on the ground bleeding and being fed on and but all around him Changelings were being slaughtered. Then Shining Armor turned to his left  to see Queen Chrysalis her self standing there staring him down. She said to him

"Do you think that you and your small army can really stop me?"

Shining Armor then said to her

"Our will is unbreakable you will never succeed Chrysalis.....YOU HEAR ME WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL EACH AND EVERY CHANGELING IS DEAD!!"

As Shining Armor dove to stab Chrysalis he was tackled out of the air by his Best Friend. Shining Armor shouted at the top of his lungs

"WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!"

His Best Friend said to him

"Want to now who destroyed the catapults?"

Shining Armor nodded his head and his Best Friend said

"It was me I'm the spy sir and now your going to die."

At that moment a sack was put over Shining Armor's head and he dragged off to some unknown location.
