Chapter one: Choosing sides

Star was starring at Pinky Pie, as she had a gun to his forehead she smiled at him and forced him to stand. "Glad to see you again, now we have an advantage." Star looked at her as she placed cuffs on his hands.

"What advantage? What's going on?" He asked her but she only replied with you will understand when you see Twilight." She pushed him into the tank and drove off. Inside the giant pink tank, Star saw allot of gems around it, when Pinky turned on the tank, the gems glowed and produced a full screen that showed her whole surroundings.

"Time to head back to base with my prisoner, and then we will turn this war around." Pinky sang, Star was now even more confused he couldn't do much so he just sat there watching as Pinky drove into the Ever Free Forest. "Strange, normally we would stay out of these woods, do to them being cursed and all, but sense this war started its our best line of defens-" Before she could finish her thoughts, the tank fell into a ditch. "What the...." She tried to move it out but was unable to; she sighed and took a gem out of her fanny pack. "Hey Twilight, sorry to call like this, but the thing is I'm sort of stuck now." She said with a chuckle as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Damn it Pinky, I told you not to drive the Tank threw the woods. Fine sit tight, I will get some help to you soon. Just make sure the prisoner stays safe."

"Roger that captain." She said with a salute before putting the Gem back into her bag, she then pulled out a lollipop and put it in her mouth; she looked back at Star and smiled handing him one. "Come on, take it." Star sat there looking at it before taking it. "There you go." She turned her attention to the front screen and put her feet up on the console, you know its strange how we all know you, but never met you before."

"What are you talking about; you met me this morning, right?" Pinky looked at Star while holding her lollipop.

"This morning I was on the front lines shooting at the Moon army, I was fighting a former friend of mine, Rarity. She used her magic to throw blades at some of my allies, a few died, so I killed a few of hers. We managed to push them out of Poison bog." Star was now even more confused.

"Wait, wait, what? What are you talking about?" Pinky turned her attention to the monitor and put her hand up.

"Seems we have company, and they aren't my allies." She saw a small group of people walking toward the trapped tank, they had scarfs on their necks like Pinky, but they were black with a moon on the end. "This isn't good; if they get you we lost our advantage." She grabbed her gem and contacted Twilight once again. "Twi I'm in trouble, I see a few soldiers of the moon army here, there are only a few in my range, but I am unsure if there are anymore."

"Damn it, Pinky, they can't take Star, we need him alive, do what you can." She nodded and took off her seat belt, she crawled over to Star and started to press buttons behind him. He was blushing as her breasts were very close to his face.

"W-what are you doing?" Pinky was too concentrated on the buttons in the back of the tank. When she finished she grabbed Star and kicked the top lid off, some soldiers saw this and aimed their rifles at the top. Pinky had a few jars with a pink liquid in her hands, she threw it out of the tank and shot it, soon a large pink mist covered the tank, when that happen, Pinky put on a gas mask and forced one on Stars face before jumping out of the tank, and dragging him away from it. "What's going on?" Pinky put her finger to her mouth before pulling Star deeper into the woods. She took out a sort of remote from her bag and pressed it, the tank they left back there started to beep loudly. After a few seconds it soon blew up, Star could hear it and looked back; he got a bit scared and stopped running.

"What are you doing? We got to keep moving." Pinky said grabbing his arm, he didn't move, he held his ground and stood like a rock.

"I am not moving until I get some answers! What's going on? Who were those people, and what do you need with me?" Pinky didn't have time to answer his questions; she sighed and tried to gather her thoughts.

"You want answers? Fine I will give you the short version. We are at war, those people were on the other team, and you are the key to it all, if you want more, then you will have to talk to Twilight, now unless you want to be full of holes I suggest you come with me." Star bared his teeth and slowly moved back, when he did Pinky shot at him. "Next shot won't miss." Star used his magic and threw some dirt at Pinky, it hit her eyes and he used the opportunity to get away from her. "Damn it, Twilight won't be happy if I don't bring him back."

She sighed and ran after him. Star ran through the dense woods, finding his way was difficult as the trees were so dense. He hid behind a tree to catch his breath, he looked at his cuffs and used his magic to break them, and he rubbed his wrists as he continued to run through the woods.

"She said we are at war? But that can't be, there is no way they could be at war. I only arrived yesterday and yet....." He remembered how Ponyville looked, it was in ruins, and destroyed, it looked as if it's been that way for years. "I have to find answers." He said as he managed to return to the destroyed tanks. He was breathing heavily as he looked around, he saw 3 dead bodies around the tank, and he thought he was safe as he took the time to look at them. He grabbed one of the corpse's guns and looked it over. "Wait a minute...."

As he looked it over he could hear a shot echo through the woods, he took cover behind the dead tank, and inspected the gun. "This is...my design? But how did they get it?" He could hear footsteps getting closer to his location; he checked the guns ammo slot and looked at the bullets. "Even the bullets?" He heard a gun cocking back as he looked up and saw a masked girl holding a gun, she had a moon scarf around her neck and she was about ready to shoot.

"I don't see a scarf on your neck, but I see three dead men and you holding a gun, so what should I believe." Star raised his hands as the girl took the gun and turned him around. "Get on your knees." He did as she said and placed his hands on the back of his head, she took them and put cuffs on them.

"Seriously what is with you people and cuffing Princess Luna's nephew." When he said that, the girl instantly stopped.

"You're my leader's nephew? But she said you were killed years ago? Oh I get it, you're just saying that to get me to let you go, nice try."

"No really, I am, I can prove it." Star took his shirt off; as he did the girl covered her eyes.

"Ugh don't take your close off in front of me." Star turned his back to her and showed her his mark. It looked similar to Luna's "That mark.....you really are Luna's nephew." She took the cuffs off of him. "If your Luna's nephew then you must join our cause, we are to liberate and free all the creatures in Equestria. Only then will Princess Luna have full control over this planet." Star felt confused.

"What do you mean? I though Luna and Celestia were ruling together." The girl chuckled as she forced Star to fallow her; he had no choice he thought maybe he could get more answers if he talked to his Aunt. The girl pulled out a gem similar to Pinky pies, but it was blue instead of pink.

"Mistress Luna, I have found a boy who claims that he is your Nephew, I am bringing him back to base with me."

"Impossible, my nephew died 3 years ago, there is no way." She asked to see Star, so the soldier threw the gem to him.

"Hello Aunt Luna, do you mind telling me what's going on here?" She looked him over and glared at him.

"Who are you? And why do you wear the face of my late Nephew?" Star was shocked when she said that.

"What do you mean? We just talked to each other yesterday, I mean I didn't see you at my party but we did speak, after I met the elements of Harmony that you told me about, then all of a sudden that pink one found me and tried to take me to Twilight, can you please tell me what's going on?" Luna closed her eyes and started to think, she had a hard time believing what Star was telling her.

"I would be more than happy to tell you what has happen, I do have to admit though, you seem to know more than anyone here, but it's hard to tell if you are truly who you say you are. Because I saw my sister end you with my own eyes." They soon got to a camp with more warriors there, Star was having a hard time understanding everything that he was told. "One of my Commanders here will better be able to explain things to you." The gem went off, and the solder took it.

"Well it seems what you said was true, she does seem to know you, but the things you said don't seem to make any sense to me." She took off her helmet reveling herself to him, Star's jaw dropped when he saw her. She had orange hair, that covered one of her eyes, her figure, and even the way she spoke, he couldn't hear her voice as clearly threw the mask, but when she took it off, he could then.

"You're Buckshot, member of the sniper guards in Manehattan." She smiled while puffing out her chest.

"You know your stuff, yes I am, one of the best shots as well. If you know me then I guess it is easier for me to believe your story a bit, no one here knows who I am, only someone from Manehattan would know of me."

"What are you doing here? Last I heard you and your team were going to Echo village, you were in the best shot show, I wanted to go but then I was sent here by....." Star paused as he remembered he was not to tell anyone who sent him there.

"That seems unlikely, you see the Cristal Empire attacked us when we were passing the Snowy ridge, they killed my team, and left me for dead. If Luna didn't save me I would have been dead." Star really had no idea what to say, for that matter he had a hard time believing it.

"No way....." Buckshot soon patted him on the shoulder and pointed him to a girl white as snow, with long purple hair. He saw her and seemed to be mesmerized by her beauty that was until he saw what she was doing. He saw her summoning blades from thin air and aiming them at people. Those people were on their knees with their arms tied behind their backs, and that white scarf with a sun symbol on it used as blindfolds. "What is she doing?" Star asked as he watched, Buckshot smiled as she watched.

"She is giving the enemy a chance, join us or die, it's pretty fair to me, they won't die if they join the winning team, isn't that right?" She looked to her side to see Star gone; she looked around for him but lost sight of him.

"Any last words, or have you come to your senses and decided to join our cause, if you do, then I won't stain my beautiful blades with your tainted blood." Star got closer and noticed who the white skinned girl was, it was Rarity. Like Pinky Pie, she seemed different, she had on a white dress shirt, with a purple dress, but the dress was ripped up to her waist allowing her to move easier. She had that same scarf on as well but it was more of a sash on her, he looked at the three that were on their knees readied to be executed and sprang into action. "Fine if you won't tell me where your pathetic leader's base is, then you are of no use to me." She launched her knifes at the three, but Star used his magic to catch them in thin air. "Who dares to stop my execution?" She saw Star but it took a second before she realized who he was. "Shooting Star? But everyone said you died three years ago. How are you still alive?" She walked over to him and took her blades back. "Last anyone heard of your whereabouts you were heading to Destiny Mountain." Star scratched the back of his head.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I am not dead as you can see." She did and she smiled as she looked at him.

"Well I am glad you are alive, I thought I had lost my only chance to date royalty." She said slowly touching his hands and grabbing her blade, she quickly placed it to his neck while her face was close to his. "But next time you stop me from killing these filthy degenerates I will be forced to kill you, then I will never be able to date royalty." She said throwing the blade behind her, it hit one of the three in the head killing him; Star was shocked when he saw the dead body hit the ground.

"What is wrong with you?" Star said grabbing her arm, as she did, every soldier there had their guns pointed at him.

"I suggest you hold your tongue boy." She said pulling his hand off hers, Star was more surprised about the fact that she was stronger then she looked. "I can see you are oblivious to what we do here, so I shall allow Fluttershy to talk to you. She can explain it; I don't have time right now." She walked away as Buckshot lead him to a dark room.

"That girl, Fluttershy, she is a scary one, it's like she can tell what others are thinking. She can really freak you out." Star stood in front of a door and was pushed in, he heard a door close, and he turned around to see that Buckshot locked him in there. He ran to the door and tried to open it, as he did he heard a low growl, he turned around to see a large creature snapping its jaw in front of him.

"There there Discord, he is not our enemy." Star had a hard time seeing anything in the dark area, but he did smell herbs. "Angel, please hit the lights for me, I do hate the dark." The lights soon shot on, Star covered his eyes as they did. He saw the creature in front of him; he looked like a Frankenstein chimera. He then saw a girl sitting at a table drinking tea, she had a black moon scarf over her left eye, while her hair covered her other. She placed her tea cup down and looked to Star's location. "If you're wondering if I am blind, no I am not, I just don't use my eyes to see."

Discord rushed to her, as she patted his lower jaw. "It is strange, at one point Discord wanted to destroy harmony, but now he is my obedient guard. I think your better this way, yes I do." She said scratching its jaw. "Ah yes mister Shooting star, Luna's nephew, you were assumed dead when we lost contact with you three years ago, but I can sense you are confused by this, as your clearly hear." Star now understood why Buckshot was a bit creped out by her. "Your aura is different, it's as if you really aren't from here if that's true then it will explain allot about your situation, but how you got here, and why your here I don't know. I guess it has something to do with that orb you were forced to use." Now Star was completely freaked.

"How do you know all this?" Fluttershy smiled as her bunny hopped over to her, it jumped onto her lap and cuddled into her legs.

"I can talk to animals, but when this terrible war started and most of my animal friends died off, I found out I can hear the voices of those who are near me, or should I say, I can sense their inner thoughts to the point that I can hear them. I think I basically went so crazy that I became able to read people's minds." She said with a chuckle. "I'm just kidding, I don't know how I can but I can, I don't question it, if I do I will get punished again."

"But by who?" Star asked. Fluttershy shook her head. She waved her hand, and Discord pushed him out of the room. The door closed in front of him keeping him out of her small area.

"So you saw her, strange right?" Star nodded as he got up, Buckshot led him out of the prison back to the camp. "So what did she say to you?" Star crossed his arms and tried to read into what she said to him.

"Nothing really helpful, though I have a clue to where I should check next, I have to go to-" Before he could finish his thoughts, a large explosion was heard at the front entrance, Tanks rolled through the gate, shooting up the area. Buckshot grabbed Star and pulled him into cover. "I think there here for me...." He said to her, she looked to the tank and grabbed her gun; Star placed his hands on hers. "I have to go with them; going with them will get me to another clue." Buckshot shook her head.

"I don't care if it can help you, right now we need to kill all of Celestia's people, and if you don't help then I will kill you myself." Star was shocked when she said that, he started to run to the pink tank. "HEY!!!" She aimed her gun at him, but the tank shot at her location blocking her view. Star climbed the tank, when he did it rolled out and away, he opened the lid and jumped in, only to see Pinky pie yet again. She smiled as she handed him a scarf.

"See they are exactly like I said." Star had question marks in his head but he sighed and grabbed the scarf.

"Look I don't belong in your war, but I need to find answers, so just know this, when I do, I am leaving." Pinky smiled driving the tank.

"Well if you say so."
