Several days later....

The sun shined in on Fluttershy's face, causing her to lift her head from her husbands muscled chest.

She smiled as she looked upon his face, an aura of happiness emanating from it.

This feeling was soon replaced by a feeling of dread as she saw his all too familiar scars, how could she not notice them. They literally covered his entire body. She shivered as she went over his new ones. The ones he received when they were tied up in an abandoned house and tortured by Chrysalis, he had kept her attention on him, this cost him his original eye. The others he had gotten at their wedding.  When Chrysalis had replaced their rings with high explosives. He had miraculously survived through all of this.

"You are sure one tough man." She thought to herself.

She decided to go downstairs and use the highly advanced kitchen of Tirans House to cook up some stew.

She rose and stretched, yawned and mumbled. Then headed downstairs to make some breakfast.

Fluttershy had just set the soup to cool when a knocking was heard. She walked over to the door, quickly throwing on her soft pink robe, she grasped the knob and opened the door to see....

Princess Celestia.

"P-princess! What are you doing here? I thought today Captain Iron was taking over for him today?"

Celestia smiled and simply waved off the matter.

"I've come to simply visit Tiran. There is a......Certain Situation we must talk about."

"Oh, I'm sorry, you see, Tiran's not up yet, he has had a very hard and tiring last few days, and has decided to sleep in a little more today,"

Celestia frowned a little, she had hoped he would be up by now. She would still have to talk to him no matter what.

"I see, well, when he does get up, send him to Twilight's library, I've a very important subject to discuss with him."

"Of course."

Princess Celestia turned and walked back into her gilded chariot, once she was in, her guards flew her off in the direction of Ponyville.

Fluttershy sighed. With Tiran being away at the castle so much, and the fact that he was usually asleep within ten minutes of him getting home. They barely had any time to themselves.

She continued pondering this as she started to eat her soup, only stopping when she noticed Tiran coming down the stairs, dressed in only his armored pants. She wondered why he always wore those. He came over to the table and took a seat, smiling when he noticed the carrot and potato soup.

"Morning, Sunshine," He beamed at her, but his smile faded when he noticed her frown.

"Morning dear."

He cringed, she always called him that when she was angry with him. Then he noticed that she was staring at him with her arms crossed.

She was pissed.

"Princess Celestia came by earlier, said for you to meet her at the Library as soon as possible."

"Sounds serious."

"Tiran, what has been going on at the castle recently?"

Tiran dropped his spoon, it fell to the floor with a clatter. That was the one question he wished she didn't ask.

"Well.....Lately, we had a breach in security.....and..."

"And what?"

"I kinda....fought....an alien."

"YOU WHAT?"

She stood up picking up her soup and smashing it against the wall. She grabbed her spoon and held it like a knife. She approached him slowly.

"Fluttershy dear, please calm down....Fluttershy.....Fluttershy....AH!"

Tiran dodged the first swipe of the spoon as it narrowly missed his ribs. The second swipe caught him in the stomach, it didn't really hurt, but it did sting. Tiran bolted out of his chair and ran up the stairs, four at a time.

When he reached the top of the steps, he careened into his armory. he threw on his traditional Black and red chestplate, covered by his dark red Trench coat. He grabbed two single edged long daggers off the wall and quickly clipped them to his pants. He then grabbed a long broadsword and clipped that to him as well.

He turned and bolted out into the hall. He looked on in horror as he saw Fluttershy at the end of the hall, holding the spoon. Tiran turned and dashed to the end of the hallway, jumping out of the window at the end.

Shattering it with a loud crash. He hit the ground, his face covered in lacerations and bleeding. He turned back at the window just in time to see a spoon right before it crashed into his face. he looked again and saw an angry Fluttershy. He took this chance and jogged to the town, looking basck one last time he called out.

"I love you!"

Princess Celestia sat mildly annoyed as she talked with Twilight about why Tiran was coming.

"But, Princess, if he needs to have more of his people here then how will he get off of the planet?"

"The same way he got on. His ship."

"Oh yeah that's right, do you think he'll let me go with hi-"

Twilight was interrupted as her door was burst open by a very winded Tiran.

He wheezed as he tried to catch his breath.

"Ah, it seems he is here, well lets get this underway."

She pointed a hoof at Tiran and motioned for him to shut the door and sit down. Once he did, she began.

"Now Tiran, after the events with the Alien, I have come to the conclusion that we need more personell guarding the castle and towns."

Tiran crossed his arms, a confused look spread across his face.

"So, get some volunteers and station them, What's this got to do with me?"

"I'm glad you asked, because of the Alien, I realized that we would be utterly helpless if another one or worse, more landed here. So since you were able to defeat the extra-Equestrial, We need more of your people."

Tiran shot straight up, a look of anger on his face.

"No way! I may have been a Commander of The Titanians, but I won't force them from their loved ones, just to bring them here."

"Then what do we do?"

Tirans expression softened as he thought about this. Her reason was a good one, and she did have a point. The idea came to him as suddenly as an arrow to the face.

"We'll hire some."

Celestia was appalled, hire Titanians? She didn't have places to lodge them or even....Wait. That is actually a pretty good idea.

"So, where will we get these....Mercenaries?"

Tirans smile broadened a bit, and his eyes twinkled.

"OH, I know a few."
