Chapter 1

(Six years later)

Celestia sighed looking over the landscape of her kingdom, its been five years since her sister vanished six for her ex husband.

(Flashback)

Celestia walked up to her sister who was watching the night sky letting out a sigh.

"Whats wrong Luna?" Celestia asked coming up behind her before standing by her side.

"Nothing that you can help with sister. For all my trying and all my time to your ponies I am still nothing more than Nightmare Moon to them." She said looking down.

"Do not fret Luna I know that its hard but just give them more time." Celestia said putting a hoof on her shoulder only to be shrugged off.

"I have given them time sister and I still here the whispers from commoner and noble alike. When will I turn again? Maybe I tricked everypony and I still am the beast. Even Ponyville besides the children and the elements see me for what I am." She said looking over at the small town.

"Then there is still hope for the next generation sister with those children they will spawn a new age for you."

"One town cannot change a nation sister. It matters not I will see you in the morn." She said taking flight.

"LUNA WAIT!" Celestia said watching her fade into the night while reaching out to stop her, it was the last time she ever saw her.

(End Flashback)

The next morning she found a note telling Celestia that she had left to her own home for Equestria could never be that. She had cried at the loss of her sister again. It was then she sent a scroll with a strange seal from a place called the Lunar Imperium. She recognized the writing as Luna's making her smile that she was ok. Now she was waiting on a meeting from a delegate of the from the not so new nation in the Lost ruins northeast covering most of the land in between them and the griffon lands all the way up to their borders.

Turns out after the defeat of discord and the land was ravaged by the three, Luna took it on to herself to make a new empire, which was over 2300 years ago. For them to escape the world for that long especially from her was a feat that truly impressed the sun goddess.

Celestia was pulled out of her thoughts hearing the sound of metal and hooves coming towards her. She turned smiling at the stallions in front of her nervously while a litte shocked at how large they were.

There were 7 stallions counting the ambassador, the guards wore dark blue almost black armor with strange swords that made her pale at the thought of being hit by one on there right side. They each had scary looking helmets on that seemed to scream power and demanded respect.

"Princess Celestia Ive come on the blessing of Empress Luna for the treaty between our nations." The ambassador said getting a nod from her.

"Of course sir, please right this way." She said leading them towards the conference room.

"Please leave your escort in the hall ambassador." She said opening the door and going inside with the ambassador. His guards stood outside and let out a sigh adjusting the heavy armor while one pulled off his helmet shaking his head and wiped his brow.

"So Brother-Captain what are you going to be doing for this months leave?" A stallion asked making the captain smile.

"I think Im going to go see my sister and friends here." He said getting a nod.

"Yeah I think Ill be doing the same thing to I hear that your sister is getting married soon so who's the poor bastard?" One said looking over at him while the captain smiled and shrugged.

"Dont know I get to meet him this month his name is Flash something shoot I still cant believe my sister is a princess of this land. Ill send you guys some pictures of it." He said smiling at his brothers in arms.

"Brother-Nightwind your in charge while Im seeing my sister, also have a scout check on my older brother." The captain said getting a nod from the sargent.

"Of course my lord Ill get right on it." He said nodding to a corner and heard the sound of hooves walking away.

The brothers fell into silence waiting for their charge to finish talking with Celestia.

"Brother-Captain if I may ask a question?" He said getting a smile from the stallion.

"You just did sargent but I will answer it." The Captain said.

"Of course my question is why do you need to check on that thing in the dungeon?" He asked.

"Because I want to see how the mighty have fallen in the time Ive been gone."

{My lord Shining Armor isnt here}

The captain froze and narrowed his eyes looking at the doors where the two ponies were.

{Return to your brothers Arthus and then head back to the Armageddon brothers and tell the empress what is going on it looks like we will be taking a detour after these talks are over.}

{Yes my lord}

"What is it brother?" A young stallion asked looking at the larger one.

"Nothing brother no need to be concerned." He said before sitting down and sighing.

"Are you sure your alright captain." His second asked him.

"I am sure brother now I will be back in a while I wish to clear my head, if there are any problems then you know how to contact me." He said getting nods from his stallions.

"Of course sir." Nightwind said with a look of concern on his face.

" I will be fine Nightwind make sure our charge is ok and dont speak with the guards here." He said walking down the hall and around the corner.

The captain made his way to the gardens with his helmet on passing shocked at the large pony while his hooves thumped on the marble floor letting all know to move out of the way.

He made it to the gardens and took off his helmet smiling at the view. It had been a while since he had been here leaving Luna to stay for a while finishing up any loose ends on her part before she joined them at the Imperial palace. The land was was a large mass in between the griffon and Equestrian borders sitting on the ruins of a ancient race that was highly advanced.

He smilied remembering his family and his own reaction seeing the massive and beautiful city after they go off the ship with the princess.

(Flashback)

Dark Star and his family stepped off the boat and looked at the massive city in front of them in awe.

"Welcome to your new home my ponies this is the city of Aurelia one of the largest cities in the Imperium." She boasted while ponies gathered around them with huge grins on their faces.

"OUR EMPRESS RETURNS!" Shouted a stallion in the crowd while they all thumped their chests and bowed to her.

"My empress are you finally done with the fools of Equestria?" A mare asked getting a sigh from Luna.

"Im afraid not my ponies." She said getting disappointed groans from the gathered ponies.

"But fear not just wait a little longer my ponies I will return to you for good in a very short time. I just need more time to finish my business in my sisters empire." Luna said getting smiles from them.

"Now I would like you all to meet some friends of mine that have agreed to be citizens of the Imperium." She said while the ponies looked at Dark and his family with a smile.

"Tell us friend of our empress why choose to come here?" A mare asked walking up to them while Stardancer stood closer to Lightning Dust.

"I want a new start for my family and out from under the hoof of a lying princess that toys with her ponies hearts destroying families." He said with a little anger in his voice.

"So I take it you know Celestia on more than a perfessional level sir?" She asked while the crowd gathered around.

"Yeah you could say that but one thing did come out of it though." He said smiling at Stardancer before looking back at the crowd.

" I just want a new start in life after all that has happened to me and my family." He said getting nods from the group.

"Indeed well sir you have come to the right place. My Empress what are your orders?" She asked making Luna smile.

"They will have a room in the palace as my personal guests of the Imperium." She said watching the ponies get surprised looks on there faces and nod.

"Quickly find an Imperial Guard and have them escort this family to their new homes." She said while a few of the towns folk went in search of the guards.

"Do not worry my friends they will set you up if you need anything just send me a letter and I will make sure it happens." She said looking over the city.

"Where are we going to go Aunt Luna?" Stardancer asked making the alicorn smile.

"You will be going to the Imperial palace in capital called Volistad." She said getting a nod from the group just when a group of Imperial Guards came up to them.

"My empress it is good to see you in such good health. Are you finally home empress?" He asked but was disappointed when she shook her head.

"Im sorry sargent but I will not be staying but rest assured I will be home in due time. In the mean time please escort my friends to the palace as my personal guests, treat them as you would myself they are after all some of my only close friends." She said as he bowed.

"Y,yes your highness right away." He said bowing before looking over at the group.

"Please follow me there is a carriage we can use that will take us to the palace." He said looking back at Luna and bowed.

"By your leave empress." He said.

"Dismissed sargent." Luna said while getting a hug from the girls much to the shock of all the ponies watching.

"Thank you so much for this chance Luna I dont know how to repay you for what your doing for us." Pinkie said making Luna smile down at her.

"Now no need for that dear Pinkie you are my friend and this is the least I can do for you and your family." Luna said returning the hugs.

"Thank you Aunt Luna for letting us stay at your house." Stardancer squeezing the alicorn tight.

"No problem sweetie Im happy your father and the rest of you accepted my offer." Luna said pulling back she looked over at Dark who was walking up to her.

"Thank you for this my Empress Luna." Dark said reaching up and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek nearly making the other ponies faint while Luna blushed.

"Y, your welcome Dark Star." She said holding her cheek still in shock while a small blush started to brighten on her face watching the family leave.

(End Flashback)

Since then the family had been living in the golden ages of the Lunar Imperium. No war, very small amount of crime, large vast of trade and numerous alliances formed when the Imperium was recognized as a nation. They were allied with the griffons, a few dragon clans and numerous small countries like Galscow, Canida, and Glidesdale just to name a few.

Dark Star looked out over the city seeing Don Joe closing his shop in the late afternoon. He smiled thinking of the letters he sent him and the invite to his sisters wedding at the end of the month around the time he was heading out of leave. Dark was pulled from his thoughts when her heard someone clear their throat.

"Um excuse me um sir I was sent to let you know your friends were ready to leave for the day." A white mare said shaking a little looking at the huge stallion.

"Thank you ma'am" He said taking off towards the meeting room where he saw their ambassador come out of the room before bucking it closed.

"COME! Let us leave this place I do not wish to stay in this place with these so called nobles." Ambassador Silver Mane said while Dark sided up next to him.

"What happened in there sir?" He asked while Silver huffed.

"Those fools expect us to take the short end of the stick in our deal for a treaty and even had the gall to suggest that our country become a vessel to them." He said growling with the other stallions behind him.

"Did you not say you had family in this country Dark Star?" Silver asked looking up at the large stallion.

"Yes sir but she's not expecting company for another month." He said getting nod from Silver.

"Of course we wouldnt want to impose on her she is after all a princess of this land as well." Silver said getting a nod from Dark.

"But I also know that visiting family is good for a workhorse like you my friend please send a letter to your sister and let her know of our coming. We will stay at your home while you visit with your friends." He said getting a smile from Dark.

"Well I might as well surprise her Imsure my brother wants to see his sister again and I do want to see the stallion who took my sisters heart." Dark said with his eyes flashing red for a second.

"Wonderful come lets buy a ticket and head to your hometown." He said getting nods from them while that exited the castle heading for the station.

(Ponyville)

Twilight was running around in a panic trying to get everything straightened up while her stallion a half Kirin/unicorn named Ghendi and Spike who had grown taller than any of the ponies in the room stood beside him. Kay was a tall thin stallion with a jet black mane with yellow highlights go through his long mane.

"Hey Spike whats got her freaking out I just came over to see if she wanted to have dinner at my place, here or go out to eat with Rose." He asked while Spike gave a deep chuckle.

"Sorry Kay but Twilights little brothers are on their way here to see her since her coronation." Spike said looking over at the panicing mare before looking back at Flash who started to go pale and sweat.

"He, her brothers are on the way here?" He asked wide eyed feeling his mouth start to go dry.

"Yep I think you've heard of them, Dark Star and Solar Flame. Also know as Dark Star the Reaper and Solar the Fire Demon." Spike said smiling watching the stallion out the corner of his eye try to swallow the lump in his throat.

"WILL YOU TWO STOP STANDING THERE AND- Kay? Honey are you ok?" She asked walking up to the pale stallion.

"Im not feeling so good." He squeaked before the door opened making him start to panic but stopped seeing Rainbow fly in.

"Yo Twilight I heard your brothers are gonna be here early thats so awesome! When are they going to get here.

"Just came into town Dash." A deep voice said making all turn to the large armored stallions walk in before taking their helmets off showing Dark Star and Solar Flame's smiling faces.

"Hey LT." Dark and Solar said only to be tackled by the mare.

"OOOOH Im so happy you guys are here! What made you guys come early and wow you guys are huge!" Twilight said stepping away from the stallions that towered over her.

"Trust me the training from the Imperium is some hardcore stuff." Solar said smiling at Dash.

"Whats up big shot Wonderbolt!" He said getting a smug look from Dash as she flew down and bumped hooves with the stallion.

"You know it how you been Solar!?" Dash said while Spike pulled the stallion into a hug.

"Whoa Spike you've gotten big dude! Whats Twi feeding you." Solar asked while Spike gave a toothy grin.

"Everything a growing dragon needs, should have been with me during my journey to Saddle Arabia." He said looking over at Twilight.

"Had some pretty nice mares and even dragons there if you know what I mean." He said nudging the stallion.

"Please Spike like you had a shot with any of the daughters of that soltan." She said watching him smirk.

"Oh whatever Rainbow you know I only have my heart set on one young mare. But there is nothing wrong with looking at other mares as long as you dont touch." He said grinning.

"True,true. So Solar come on lets go hang out in town for a bit while your here I want to know what you've been up to since you left last time." She said jumping on the stallions back.

"Can do, me and my brother are here on guard for a ambassador for some peace talks, so far its not going so good you know, nobles." He said hearing her sigh.

"Stupid high class know it alls." She said while he stopped and gave his sister a kiss on the cheek and headed out with Spike.

Twilight smiled watching the three chat away before turning back to Dark Star.

"Those three will never change now I want to introduce you to some of my stallions and Ambassador Sliver Mane this is my sister Princess Twilight Sparkle and personal student of Celestia." He said as the ambassador bowed along with the stallions.

" It is a huge honor to finally meet you my dear your brothers and his herd go on and on about you. I have to say its great to finally get to know the mare of so many stories." He said giving a chaming smile while Twilight gave a shy blush.

"Oh well thank you so much Mr Silver Mane my brother has told me a little about you in some of his letters." She said shaking his hoof.

"Oh well I hope it was nothing to bad." He said getting a laugh out of the princess.

"No no no I assure you it was mostly about the fun times you have had over the years." She said while he smiled and nodded.

"Well that is a relief now I do hate to meet and run but I must be heading to Dark Stars place for some sleep. We have a early day tomorrow and another meeting with your countries stupid nobles I dont understand why Celestia wont put a lid on those fools." He said while they all sighed.

"Of course ambassador please feel free to drop by anytime to visit I know how being an ambassador can be and how tiring it is." She said while he nodded and yawned.

"Thank you princess it was very good meeting you and we should do this again sometime when you come to the Imperium, Im sure my wife and kids would love to have you over." He said walking out with the other stallions.

"I will keep that in mind when I visit." She said while waving goodbye and closing the door leaving just the three in the room.

"So Twi are you going to introduce me to your frozen Stallion?" He asked looking over at the stock still pony who was looking really pale for some reason.

"Oh Im sorry this is my stallion Kirin, Kirin this is my little brother Dark Star." She smiling at the two while Dark walked up to him inspecting him like he would his troops making Flash stand up straighter.

"What unit are you from colt?" Dark said in a calm yet dangerous voice if he wasnt answered in the correct way.

"3rd battalion 5th Recon Company 2nd platoon 4th squad leader." He said promply getting a nod from Dark.

"Who were you trained by?"

"Drill Sargent Silent Step." He said getting a smile from Dark.

"Oh really!? Well I guess your not worthless after all boy, I dont need to tell you what I will do to you if you hurt my sister Ill leave that to your imagenation." He said and turned to his sister.

"Now if you will excuse me sis Im gonna go get something to eat want to come with?"He asked smiling at her.

"Ill catch up with you in a second bro go to get my stallion out of military mode." She said going into the kitchen.

"Ok see you later I want to talk to you about something to." He said and opened the door heading out towards Sugar Cube Corner. Twilight came out to see her stallion still standing at attention making her sigh.

"Ghendi he's gone now you can come back now." She said walking up to him watching him let out a breath and plopped down onto the ground.

"Wow your brother is intense." He said getting a giggle from Twilight.

"Oh he's not so bad once you get to know him. Besides I think he likes you since you were trained by Silent Step." She said seeing him tilt his head confused.

"Why is that?"

"Well my brother had always wanted to a guard and was looking into the recon area for a while before he left. So if you got any stories then tell them to him Im sure he would love to hear them, but dont unless it comes up ok." She said getting a nod from him.

"Got it so what does he do in the Imperium?" He asked watching her puff her chest out in pride.

"Both of my brothers are personal guards to Empress Luna while Dark is commander and chief of the military while Solar is second in command. Pretty impressive after only five years." She said proudly with a big smile.

"Wow that is impressive. So my princess what are you fixing to do?" He asked just when the door slammed open showing Applebloom.

"IS HE HERE!?" She yelled surprising the two. Over the years Applebloom and the other crusaders finally got their cutie marks and were in the middle school fixing to head to high school. Applebloom was built like her sister but had her brothers smarts when it came to schooling, she was dreaming of opening a workshop in town once she got out of school to earn money to head off to college to further her studies in her craft of woodworking.

"Who Dark? Yeah he's here at the cakes house." Twilight watching her eyes widen.

"Crap!" She took off leaving two very confused ponies.

"What was that about?" Kay asked getting a shrug from Twilight.

Applebloom ran through town towards the bake shop only to stare in horror at Dark Star talking to her sisters stallion she ran up to him making him turn and smile at her.

"Well hey App-Clunk." He watched the young mare bounce off his armor with a confused look on his face watching her shake it off and gave him a panic look on her face.

"Dark ah need to talk to yah NOW!" She said dragging the large stallion away while dark gave the other stallion a smile.

"Sorry about this." He said to the chuckling stallion.

"Its fine I think she gets it from her sister." He said getting a look from Bloom who was still pushing Dark inside.

"I guess anyway it was good meeting you Night Shade and tell the Apples I said hi." He said before being pushed through the door.

Once inside Dark looked down at the panting mare with confustion.

"Ok AB whats going on is everything ok?" He asked while she held up a hoof for him to wait while she caught her breath. After a few minutes she looked up at him with worry.

"Dark you do know that stallion yall were talkin to was mah sisters stallion right?" She asked getting a slow nod from him.

"Yessssssss. Why is it bad that I talk to her stallion or something?" He asked while she just looked at him in shock.

"Look AB I dont know what you were thinking that was going to happen but Im over your sister have been for the past four years now and it looks like she's over me to so lets not open old wounds ok?" He asked getting a sigh and nod from her.

"Your really over her Dark?" She asked getting a nod from the stallion.

"Yes Ive moved on Applebloom so you dont have to worry about me picking a fight with her stallion but dont expect me to come to the farm unless I need to. Im still a little upset with her with how she chose to stop talking to me but anyway Ill see you later AB, it was good seeing you again." He said walking out the door leaving a sighing young mare at the enterance.

Dark trotted down the road heading to his house before spotting a famliar griffon.

"Gilda? What are you doing here?" He asked making the griffon jump and whirl around about to say somthing but stopped a little stunned looking at the stallion.

"Dark? Wow you look.. Wow you look good the armor suits you." She said getting a smile from the stallion.

"Thanks Gil so what are you doing here checking up on Dash?" He asked watching her shake her head.

"No Im actually looking for you since I couldnt find you back at the Imperium so I decided to come here to hang with Dash for a while since you were on a mission is all Lightning said. By the way I saw those baby bumps big guy now work on that." She said nudging him making him grin.

"Thanks. Well now that Im here what was it you wanted to do?" He asked while she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Well Im on leave from duty right now and just wanted to hang out with you and the girls for a while but since you werent there and the three where starting to crave stuff I bolted. But now I cant find Dash anywhere." She said sighing.

"Well she is with my brother so there is no tell where they are but since your here why dont we hang out for a while. Just let me go drop off this armor." He said leading the way to the house while the sun was going down.

"So Dark how you been, and dont pull that crap you tell your other friends about you being fine. You look beat." She said listening to him sigh.

"Well being back here really brings back a lot of memories not all of them good. But Ill be fine Gil I promise." He said smiling at the frowning griffon.

"Bullshit I can see your running yourself ragged. Lets hurry up and get you to a bar so we can have a good time." She said pushing him a little making him smile.

"I think I can spare some time to beat you in a few drinking games." He said giving a challenging smirk while she gave one back.

"Ok so I know that Heavens Angels sell pretty good griffon liquor. Ill go save us a booth you get out of your armor." She said watching him flash away while she took off to the club with a big smile on her face.

Ever since she had known him she has had a small crush on him and tonight she was going to let it be known and hopefully if things went the way she wanted she would be going home with Dark as more than a friend after all these years.

(Heavens Angels)

Gilda waited on Dark in a booth to the back with two bottles of fine giffon liquor on the table along with four shot glasses on each side of the table. She sighed and leaned back waiting and sank into the booth.

"Gilda? What are yall doin here?"

Gilda winced before turning to see Applejack walking over to her making the giffon sigh. She still remembered Darks look after he came back from Equestria when he started to panic after Applejack suddenly stopped sending messages back four years ago. The dead look in his eyes when he came back only saying that she was done with him, and being the best friend she was took him out getting him shit faced drunk before getting the whole story out of him. Of course he made her swear that she didnt tell his wives.

"Whats up Applejack, Im on leave and waiting for a friend." She said watching the mare smile.

"Oh well ah dont know where Dash is sugar cube. Ah saw her walkin around with Spike and some stallion in town before they disappeared." She said watching Gilda nod.

"Thats cool but Im not waiting on Dash." She said while AJ looked at her confused.

" Who yall waitin on then?" She asked while Gilda was starting to loose her temper.

"A old war buddy now please I want to be alone for now." She said just when she saw Dark come in and spotted AJ who was giving a small nod.

"Sorry ah'll leave yall be." She said and trotted off never seeing Dark while he slipped past her and slid into the booth.

"What did she want?" He asked while she shrugged.

"To know who I was waiting on." She said getting nod from him.

"So first to fall right?" He asked getting a smile and nod from her.

"Ok ready GO!"

All through the night the two laughed telling stories and recalling old memories and danced. All in all they were having a good time. Gilda kept stealing glances at Dark letting her eyes roam the ripped body of the stallion in front of her.

"So Dark once this is over what are you going to do? Head back to the Imperium?" She asked getting a shrug from him.

"Dont know I need to talk to sis about what happened to Shining and why he isnt in a cell." He said getting a nod from her when a mare neither wanted to see spotted him.

"DARK STAR!?"

He sighed before standing giving Gilda a smile.

"Well thats my cue to make my escape. Ill see you later Gil." He said and flashed away along with both bottles of liquor. Gilda was in a rage when Applejack approuched her.

"Was that Dark Star ah saw just then?" She asked while the griffon stood up.

"No." She said and left some money on the table before storming out of the club to find her friend.

Dark Star stumbled into the house with the last bottle of liquor in a magical grip, he took another big swig before it was taken away from him and the light was turned on making him blink only to see the blur throwing the bottle in the trash. He saw her grab something on the counter and was walking up to him.

"Here drink this Dark itll get rid of the alcohol in your system." She said while he took it and chugged it before bringing it back gagging.

"Gil? Oh man thats nasty what is that?" He asked hearing her giggle a little.

"Sorry but thats some of Zecora's brew, I called in a favor to get it made." She said guiding him over to the couch making him sit down.

"Gil whats going on?" He asked getting a sigh from her.

"Im taking care of you stupid. Dont ever do that again Dark you had me worried and I was about to get your brother and your stallions but he said that you would be home sooner or later." She said letting him lay his head on her lap while running her claws through his mane.

"Mmmm. I guess he was right huh? Thanks for being here Gil your great and Ill be lying if I didnt say Ill be a little jealous of the griffon that eventually steals you away." He said never seeing her smile.

"What makes you think its a griffon that will steal me away?" She asked in a sultury voice that made his ears perk up.

"Well whoever it is that steals you away Ill be jelous of them, your a great friend Gil I dont know what I would do without you." He said nuzzling her stomach careful not to stab her making her shiver at the feeling and her claw freeze.

"Yeah your pretty awesome to Dark, you've always been there for me when I needed you. I remember when I had that really bad breakup with Gray Beak, you came all the way from the front lines during the Six Month War just to comfort me." She said smiling down at the stallion who just layed there enjoying the feeling of her claws running through his mane.

"You stayed for two week treating me like a true mate. Taking me out to dinner and shopping, going on dates with just the two of us. Hell you were there when me and Dash had the falling out with each other. You stayed with me and let me cry on you and didnt even say anything when I wiped my face on you, you just smiled and pulled me closer trying to make me feel better." She said feeling him smile.

"I remember when I first saw you it was just after your Fine Blade training with the monks when you came to us. I just thought you were some week pony that know the first thing about war, but you proved me so wrong when you slaughtered the first wave of rebels. To tell you the truth it made me hot, I guess its a griffon thing to seek out powerful mates but after the thing with Dash you left and we stayed friends." She said feeling him look up at her.

"Gil?"

" When I heard you married I was devistated thinking I lost my chance to be with you. After you left I really started to miss you and I guess thats when I figured out I had a crush on you. We stayed in touch through letters but I wanted more knowing I couldnt have you with how happy you were with your wife." She said while tears started to well up.

"Then two years later you had a foal and lost your wife at the same time. I wanted to come to you and be there for you but my father needed me here with the troubles rising in the southern plains. Then you came back here with Stardancer a few years later after no word from you. She was maybe around three at the time and I couldnt help but fall in love with you all over again and Stardancer." She said sighing before continuing.

"Then you left again and all this happened but this time I refused to loose contact with you again. I visited as much as I could and even had Luna tell me how you were doing, I swear at the first sign of trouble I was going to fly as fast as I could be there for you everyone else be damned. I was giddy as hell when my dad made me the ambassador to our nations and used any excuse I could to see you and the girls." She said smiling down at him with a blush.

"I know today is shot no thanks to AJ but I was hoping we could still enjoy the night." She said looking down at the speechless stallion.

"I think I would like that Gil." He said getting up with her as he led her upstairs to his room. When he turned around she pushed him towards the bed making him fall back on it.

"Why didnt you ever say anything Gil? I would have stayed with you back at my house there. I know that Stardancer loves you like a mother even back then she asked if you were her mom. Why now?" He asked watching her bite her lip.

"I was scared, I dont think I could have taken a rejection at the time." She said while he scooted back and she climbed on top of him.

"Please Dark I want to be yours." She said pleading watching a smile cross his face.

"How could I say no to that cute face." He said grinning while she frowned.

" I am not cute Dark you know that, Im sexy get it right." She said sitting back straddling his waist.

"Aww sorry Gil but I just call them how I see it." He said with a wicked grin while she growled.

"THATS IT!" She yelled and pounced on the stallion becoming nothing but flailing legs and claws before he pinned her down while they were both breathing hard but with smiles on their faces.

"Say your cute. SAY IT!" He said breathing hard while she struggled to get up before he started to nibble on her neck making giggle and moan before she rolled the large stallion over and pinned him.

"Ill never say Im cute big guy." She said nibbling on his ear getting a small moan from him.

"Never say what?" He said as she pulled back.

"Im cute." She said watching a huge grin go across his face before realization hit her.

"I hate you." She said and squealed when he flipped them over again.

"Ahh no you dont." He said and pulled her into a passionate kiss making them both moan out load just when one of his sargents burst into the room.

"BROTHER-CAPTAIN YOU ARE NEED- Um sorry for interupting sir but you are needed with haste!" He said and left as Dark jumped out of bed using his magic getting into his armor and shot out the door grabbing his sword on the way out.

Dark made it to the guest house to find they had set up a monitor in the house showing Empress Luna.

{If you are just getting this message then return home at once! The Imperium is under attack by Equestrian and Boar forces!} She said before the it started to replay on a loop.

Dark was shocked before his eyes narrowed in anger.

"TO THE IMPERIUM BROTHERS! OUR EMPRESS NEEDS US!" He yelled while they cheered just as Gilda walked in.

"Dark whats going on?" She asked making them turn to her.

"Gilda go to your father now let him know that the Imperium is under attack." He watching her go wide eyed and nod.

"Im on you can count on me." She said taking flight while the stallions ran for the train station.

Once on the platform they waited for a late night train to come and saw a passenger train come in letting off ponies. The group stormed onto the engine and captured it while detaching it from the rest of the train and taking off down the tracks leaving stunned onlookers.

(Lunar Imperium)

One day later the group of Lunar marines and ambassador make it to the destroyed front gate of the Imperium. They see ponies come out of their homes with looks of hope and joy when they looked at the marines while they passed hundreds of bodies of pony and boars.

"Lets go brothers to the throne room we must see what we can do." Dark said taking off down a street passing defences and Imperial soldiers who gave a tired wave to the marines. They got to throne room to see a very tired Luna looking over a monitor.

"My empress we are here." Dark said watching her smile.

"Oh Dark Star so glad you made it back safely. It seems my sister and the boars think they can take our Imperium with ease and it has cost them greatly." She said looking out at the destrution to her empire.

"Dark Star I want you and company of your best marines and destroy the Equestrian foces while the Imperial guard takes care of the boars, I will not have this filth destroy what I and my ponies have worked for, for more than a thousand years. NOW GO DESTROY THIS FILTH LEAVE NONE ALIVE!." She yelled getting a salute from the stallion who took off down the hall.

(Outer walls)

The Equestrian brigade that was outside the walls watched as the defenders of the city begin to cheer.

"Sir it seems there is a company worth of stallions headed this way sir, what are your orders?" The LT asked looking at the aged stallion.

" Take two comp-

"FOR THE IMPERIUM! STRIKE FROM THE SKIES SISTERS!"

The Equestrian forces werent prepared for the sudden and violent surprise of a squad of Lunar strike marines slamming into the the middle of their forces and slaughtering everything that was closest to them.

"SIR YOUR ORDERS!?" The Lt said just when the company of Lunar marines slammed into the front of the Equestrian forces.

"REGR-AHHHH!" The LT was cut off from saying anything when a strike marine flew through the line cutting all those in the way in half with her blade wings.

The old major looked around at the chaos happening him. All he saw were his guards being layed to waste by these demons that seemed to come from Tartarus itself. He turned to see a unicorn stallion in black armor use his magic to wipe out his entire left flank of guards before he joined the slaughter.

It couldnt have been more than 20 minutes of horror watching his stallions die left and right. Whatever spell or weapon they used against them would only be shrugged off before the attacker was killed in a brutal way.

When his guards tried to retreat they were cut off by a ambush leading out to the ships and killed out right he turned to see the large black armored stallion from earlier behind him panting and covered in his stallions blood.

"I take it your the leader of this little attack?" He asked as the old major nodded.

"Answer me this then, why have you attacked us?" He said the strange sword he had sparking with energy while he held it in his magical grip.

"Orders." Was all he said getting a nod from the stallion.

"Very well may you find peace in death." He said before removing the head from the old stallions body.

Dark Star looked down at the old stallion before looking around at the carnage that was left in their wake, he could see the strike sisters and his marines mopping up any survivors while a strike sister walked up to him taking off her helmet.

"Sir Equestrian forces are in full retreat what are your orders?" She asked while he looked out over the field of battle.

"Take your sisters along with these marines and help the guards take care of the boars, I will deal with the rest of the Equestrian forces." He said walking over the hill to see the retreating masses heading to the ships.

'Those are not Equestrian ships, hmm lets see what I can find out.' Dark pondered and flashed away to see what he could find.

(Meanwhile in the eastern block of the Imperium.)

"Forward stallions in the name of the Imperium! CHARGE!" The captain of the Lunar Guard yelled while charging into the fray with his stallions and mares. When the two armies met the sound of metal clashing along with the thunder of storm cannons exploding in the enemy ranks filled the air.

Captain Night Stalker of the 4th Imperial Guard Regiment, a earth pony stallion watched with a smile on his face as a squad of Strike Marines smashed into their reserve forces along with a Brigade of Lunar Marines 2nd Regiment. He ducked a swing from a boar, he turned and bucked his snout into his skull making he fall to ground while Night took the advantage and drove his sword into the boars head.

He looked up to the skies and saw a large amount of griffons coming towards the shore, for a brief moment he feared that their allies had turned on them only for the griffons to attack the boars landing ships with sword and rifle. He smiled relived that some friendly faces had finally come to their aid, he cheered with this regiment as the ships were set ablaze by griffon forces before rejoining the battle.

(With Luna)

The empress of the Imperium smiled seeing their long lost allies finally come to their aid. She could see the war galleons and frigates laying waste to any boar ships that tried to escape, she watched with a satisfied smirk as one of the larger boar ships exploded in a brilliant ball of fire.

"These fools have made the biggest mistake of their lives to attack my subjects and our home, I will see to it theirs burns to ash." She promised to herself just as a flash went off behind her, She turned to see one of her marines standing there with a beaten Equestrian captain.

"Why have you brought this filth of my sisters to me marine?" She demaned while he took off his helmet and clicking it on his flank.

"Empress Luna we are not under attack by Equestria." Dark Star stated while Luna looked on confused.

"Then who are we under attack by and why are they in Equestrian uniforms?" She asked glaring at the beaten captain.

"It seems that my brother has escaped with the help of a certain changeling that Im sure your familiar with?" He ground out kicking the captain hard in the side.

"Chrysalis." She simply stated while he nodded.

"Yes ma'am and from what this worm has told me they will be launching attacks on Equestria and the Crystal Empire along with attacking our allies as well dressed as our guards and other various uniforms to try to pit us against each other." He said gravely while her eyes flew open.

"By the moon they're trying to start a world war! THOSE FOOLS!" She said and looked back at the griffon forces.

"Dark Star get down there and tell those griffon their home is about to be attacked by soldiers dress as our guards hurry! I will send a letter to Tia and our other allies of this coming threat!" She said quickly bringing up some paper and ink while writing their various allies hoping it wasnt to late.

Chapter 2

(Equestria)

Celestia was extreamly confused at the moment looking at the two letters one was a declaration of war on her nation by her sister and then another was a plot against her and the crystal empire by the old changeling queen and Shining Armor trying to pit them against each other telling her to ignore the other letter. It also said that Dark along with a company of Lunar Marines and Strike Marines were on their way to assist and would explain everything.

She was brought out of her thoughts when Kay busted into the room.

"Princess! A large army of griffon and ponies marches this way, also we got word of another detachment of the same army heading for the Crystal Empire!" He said panting.

"Have we any word from our allies?" She asked as he shook his head.

"No princess all communication have been cut off, we have a battlion engaged with the army headed here now but they cant hope to hold out very long. Princess Cadence has sent two divisions of Crystal soldiers to meet with their enemy. What are you orders princess?" He asked just when they heard a ruckus outside.

"HEY YOU CANT GO IN-CRASH!" Celestia looked up just as the doors were opened to see a squad of Lunar marines.

"Princess Celestia, Empress Luna sends her apologies and wishes to help with this filth that is attacking your lands." The leader of the squad whos voice she recognized as Dark Star.

"Thank you captain I will thank my sister personally after all of this is over with but for now I have a situation on my hooves." She said leading him over to a map along with Kay.

"Kay what can you tell me so far?" Dark asked.

"Right now we have some stallions engaged with the army right now but they will not last long against the enemy and we dont have enough capable fliers right now to support them." He stated with worry and looked over at Dark who was nodding.

"Then you shall have your fliers." He smirked and tapped his ear.

{Sister Helena take your company and go to the aid of Celestia's forces, I'll send you the coordanates stand by.} He radioed and waved his hoof over the map and then tapped it.

{Coordanates recived Brother Dark, may Luna guide you in your cause} She said making him smile.

{As with you sister} Dark stated and looked back over at the princess.

"Celestia what other news do you have for me? What of the Crystal Empire?" He asked getting worried look.

"They have sent two divisions to meet with their enemy who are two days out Im sending a guard unit to support them as soon as my commanders can round up their stallions."She said getting a grunt from them.

"Tell them to stay here I have a Imperial Guard detachment already waiting for orders, just say the word and I will have them reenforce the Crystal troops." He said getting a nod from her.

"Very well, Sargent Victus go inform the guard they are to board the trains and meeth with the princess there, Celestia will send word to Cadence." He commanded getting chest thump from the sargent.

"Yes my lord." He said and ran out the door.

"How many soldiers have you brought with you Captain Star?" Celestia asked as Dark turned to her.

"I have just as the letter sent to you has stated two companies of marines but I asked if I could take a legion of Imperial guard with me." He said as she cocked an eyebrow.

"How many are in a legion Dark?" She asked getting a few growls from the stallions.

"Over 100,000 strong along with Storm cannon support." He said getting confused looks.

"Dont worry about it my soldiers just need transport and they will do the rest." He said getting nods.

"Very will then what will you and your company do while your here then?" She asked while he smiled.

"Im going home Im sure my sister is worried about me and my land has plenty of room to spare for my soldiers we will leave as soon as a train is avalible." He said and turned taking his men with him heading for his company leaving the two alone.

"I have to say princess I feel a lot better knowing the Imperium is helping us, from the rumors Ive heard they are a fighting breed with war in their blood since the begining of its foundation." Kay said getting a nod from Celestia.

"Indeed my sister's ponies are a warrior people, I still cant believe they were able to stay hidden from me for so long it crazy." She said while he nodded looking over the map.

"Although I dont see how one company of pegasus will change this battle." He stated off handily.

"We must have faith in them Kay, Im sure my sister has trained her soldiers to be the best of the best." Celestia stated but even she had her doubts.

"I assure you sister my marines are the best soldiers in the world." Celestia turned to see Empress Luna standing in the doorway in Imperium armor.

"LUNA!" Celestia yelled happily trotting up to her sister pulling her into a hug.

"It has been a while sister, Ive missed you so much." Celestia smiled holding her sister.

"Yes and I you sister, though I really must appologize for the first letter. When my nation was attacked by Equestrian guards with the boars I thought you lost your mind to attack my home." She said getting a shocked look from Celestia.

"Equestrian Guards? I would never attack your home Luna, when I got your letter I was so confused myself. Im just glad that it wasnt true." Celestia sighed looking over her sister. She was in the same type of armor that Dark was in except more regal.

"I know once my Strike Marines finish off the intruders we must find you ex-captain of the guard and- by the night! Where has Dark Star gone!?" She yelled and turned to see said stallion walk in.

"Yes Empress Luna." He said thumping his chest.

"Captain you will go with the guard to secure my niece from Shining and Chrysalis, take a squad with you and make preperations I will not have my familly take by these low lifes. Dismissed." She ordered while he thumped his chest.

"Of course Empress none will get past me." He stated trotting out the chamber to pick his stallions.

"Sister get the largest passenger cars or cargo fraights you have to get my forces to the Crystal Empire post haste, we cannot delay." She spoke pacing while her sister nodded heading to contact the right ponies leaving Luna alone with Kay.

"So you are the one that has stolen my fair Twilights heart." She started making the chief scout gulp.

(With the Equestrian battalion)

"Get another company over there now! We cant let them flank us, hold the line stallions! HOLD THE LINE!" The captain yelled at his soldiers, they had to by time for reenforcements to arrive or Equestria was doomed.

''SISTERS STRIKE FROM THE SKY!"

He watched in awe when a company of strange pegasus slammed right in the middle of the massive army cutting swaths of ponies and griffons alike.

"THE IMPERIUM IS HERE! RETREAT FALL BACK!"

"COWARDS STAND AND FI-AHHHH!"

"DEATH TO THE ENEMY LEAVE NONE ALIVE SISTERS! FOR THE IMPERIUM!"

Captain Shield Shatter watched the chaos unfold in from of him while the strange pegasus from the Imperium killed everything in their reach.

As the battle drew to a close she saw the company of pegasus killing any left alive on the field that wasnt in Equestrian armor while helping any of the wounded off the field, as what looked like the leader of the company trotted up to him.

"Are you the one in charge of these stallions?" She asked making him shrink back a little in fear.

"Yes ma'am I am." He said getting a nod from her.

"You did well today captain, I am sister Helena of the 3rd company Strike Marines, of the Lunar Imperium. You and your stallions are very brave to take on such a force like this or very foolish, never the less the day is won captain and your reenforcements will be here shortly. My sisters and I have business elsewhere good day captain." She stated walking ove to one of her other comrade while Captain Shield plopped down just when a group of his stallions came up behind him.

"Wow those mares are awesome and hot! If this is the kind of mares the Imperium have sign me up." One said when they heard a snort behind them making them turn to see one of the sisters with a beaten stallion on her back.

"The likes of you could never get in or pass the Imperial Guard much less Brother Darks training. Take your wounded so I may join my sisters I have other battles to go to." She said while one of the other guards came and took his friend before watching the mare trott over to her sisters.

"She digs me." The stallions spoke getting a groan from his friends.

"Lets go sisters we are needed at the Cystal Empire." Helena spoke before her and her sisters took flight just when a division of Equestrian guards crested the hill and stopped looking at the destruction of the field along with the dead and wounded.

(Crystal Empire 2 days later)

Cadence was pacing back and forth through the throne room while her soldiers went to meet with the enemy. She had one division going to hit them head on while the other swept around to its left and right splitting in two while during the over of night hitting their flank during the night while the main force charged them. Right now she was waiting on her division commanders to respond to her.

"Well well well it looks like you actually got a army up and running HONEY!" Cadence turned to see Shining Armor along with Chrysalis standing there with a squad of Changeling with them.

"Well I may not have Equestria but I always did want to live in a real castle." Chrysalis said giving Cadence a fanged grin.

"Like I will let you just take my home!" Cadence growled charging up her horn getting into a attack position that Big Momma tought her.

"Fine I was hoping I wouldnt have to hurt you Cadence but I can see the time for talking is over." Shining stated making Cadence growl.

"Make it quick Shining my changelings have been out manuvered by the Crystal Soldiers and the lines are quickly collapsing." Chrysalis said getting a nod from Shining.

"Sorry babe but this looks like the end for- SMACK!

"If your think Im going down without a fight you are saddly mistaken Shining Armor!" Cadence said hopping from one hoof to another.

"Your going to regret that Cadence." Shining said charging at the princess and threw a punch only for her to side step it and throw him into the throne steps, hard.

Shining groaned and ran at Cadence again only for her to charge him as well both pulling back to deliver one hell of a punch, but Cadence disappeared flashing behind Chrysalis delivering one hell of a sucker punch to the queens face when she turned around sending her flying into a wall.

"That was for my wedding you bug." She said ducking under her ex-husbands sloppy punch and coming up with a powerful uppercut sending him once again flying.

"That was for allying yourself with this filth." She said smiling at her downed opponents before she was jumped by the squad of changelings that she forgot about.

Cadence let loose a powerful blast throwing the changelings off her and into the walls and floors cracking on impact. She could feel where one had stabbed her in the leg with a horn along with several cracked ribs, she was holding her side looking at Shining and Chrysalis with one eye while the other was swelling shut as they got up and stalked towards her.

"End of the road princess though I do admit it was a good fight." Shining said while they advanced on her.

BOOM!

FOR THE IMPERIUM!

Cadence watched as strange armored stallions crashed through the door smashing their way through the squad of drones and knocked the two aside.

"By order of the Empress you are to be shown no mercy for attacking her niece and all traitors are to be hangged so says the Empress of the Imperium." One stallions read off a scroll before putting it away.

"NOW MY BROTHERS ATTACK! KILL THESE INSECTS AND BRING THE COMMANDERS TO ME!" He roared while his soldiers jumped into battle crushing the squad of changelings while Shining and Chrysalis made their escape.

After the short battle Dark Star pulled his helmet off smiling down at Cadence.

"Dark Star?" She weakly stated rubbing a hoof across his face while he took hold of her hoof.

"Im here Cadence just stay with me ok? The doctor is coming." He assured getting a smile from her.

"What took you so long?" She laughed before hacking up some blood.

"Sorry had a delay at the station with some bugs before we got here." He smiled down at the princess.

"Now rest, captains orders. Dont worry about your forces I have mine that I brought with me going to help them now with the mop up." He said getting a sigh from the mare.

"Thank the maker and thank you Dark your my hero." She said smiling getting a laugh from him just when the doctor came to look her over and took her away as his brothers came to him.

"Brother-Captain?" Dark turned and smiled at them.

"Good job brothers now head to the train station our job is done here, I will join you later once Im certain the princess is no longer in danger and her forces get back." He stated getting a nod from his stallions.

"Very well Brother-Captain." He heard Solar say while leading the stallions out of the room and to the station.

(4 days later)

Cadence opened her eyes to see much to her surprise Dark Star with his head sound asleep on her bed making her smile at the look of peace on his face just when a nurse walked in and smiled.

"Oh your highness your awake, Im glad to see your ok." She whispered watching the mare reach out and run her hoof over the large stallions mane.

"He hasnt left your side since his stallions left to head back to the Imperium two days ago." She whispered.

"Really how long have I been down?" She asked while Cadence continued to run her hoof along his mane while the nurse checked her over.

"Four Days princess." She quietly stated looking over at the stallion.

"He didnt sleep till early this morning." She smiled at the shocked look on her face.

"Your so lucky to have such a special somepony, and from the Imperium at that. I wonder if all their stallions are like him." The nurse mused missing the blush on the princess face.

"Um no he's not my special somepony, he's a family friend." Cadence explained though never stopped her petting.

"Oh my apologies princess but the way you two are it just looks so touching." The nurse apologized.

"Its fine but we can only hope the stallions of the Imperium are like- She was cut off when he snuggled into her stomach.

"Mmm Pinkie."

Cadence smiled at the tired stallion while the nurse giggled and left the room. Once they were alone she looked over Dark and got a little blush at the defined muscle on the stallion lay on her stomach while she ran her hoof through his mane.

"Maybe in another life Dark." She whispered to herself feeling him pull her closer to him while a content smile came to his face.

(6 hours later)

Dark woke up expecting to find his pregnant wives laying down in their bed back in the Imperium but instead found it to be dark outside and he was snuggled up to the princess of love herself making him jump a little.

He slowly climbed out of bed with a practised ease and looked over the mare that had her back to him.

"Come on Cadence you got to wake up, everypony is worried about you." He whispered covering the mare up more so she wouldnt catch a chill.

"Captain Dark Star? Im glad your awake, Princess Cadence woke up earlier this afternoon and she checks out. She's going to be ok." The doctor whispered getting a nod from him.

"Very well I will have a few stallions guard her till she is better. I have no doubt that the traitors and the insect will try to assassinate her while she sleeps. I will double the guards." Dark said walking away and around the corner never seeing the evil smile on the doctors face as he walked towards the sleeping princess.

"Long live the hive." He said raising a dagger before bringing it down.

SHUNK!

Cadence woke up hearing gagging sound only to see a doctor with a sword sticking out of his chest and a hoof on his mouth. She saw the doctor had a dagger in hoof about five inches from her head while Darks large hoof held the blade from killing her.

"You woke her you insect." She heard Dark Star growl and watched the sword push further out of his chest while she heard a muffled scream just when the doctor turned into a changeling making her gasp and roll out of bed. She watched Dark grab the changelings head with his magic and twist it with a sickening crack and let the body fall to the ground.

"Cadence are you- OOF!" Dark was cut off when Cadence ran into his chest crying after staring death in face twice after such a short time.

"Shhh its ok Cadence I got you." Dark said running his hoof down her mane trying to calm the sobbing mare down just holding her tight.

"I wont let anything happen to you Cade." He said making her snap her head up at him surprised, he hadnt called her that since before he left as a colt. He smiled down at her kissing her forehead.

"Im sorry Cade and I forgive you." He whispered in her ear making her cry harder and held him tight while he just pulled her into his lap after sitting down. They stayed like that for a little while before he led her away from the scene and had someone clean up the mess.

(Two days later)

Dark and Cadence smiled as they looked in on the wounded and gave thanks while praying for the dead.

"Thanks for staying to look after me till I was able to get out of bed Dark, you didnt have to you know. Im sure your wives are worried about you and Aunt Luna is wondering where you are." She mentioned while they walked to the castle.

"No it's fine Cade, The Empress knows where I am and the girls know as well. Once I explained what was happening and what almost happened Luna ordered me to stay till you were fit for duty." He smiled getting a nod from Cadence who was eating the reformed friendship they had lost after so long up. Dark stopped at one of the food stands licking his lips.

"Hey Cade you want some? My treat." Dark offered getting a smile from her as she limped over to him.

"Sure and thanks Dark after everything thats happened today and the past week its good to stop and enjoy what you have." She said smiling at the merchant.

"That'll be 5 bits please." The mare said while Dark tossed her the money and walked away to the castle.

"So Dark what were you doing before all this happened." Cadence asked making him stop dead in his tracks.

"SHIT I NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH GILDA!" He yelled and flashed to his chambers leaving a confused princess behind.

"Who's Gilda?"

(Later that day)

Dark was waiting by the train station when he saw the griffon on his mind step off, smiling he made his way through the crowd letting her catch site of him making his way to town. She smirked and gave chase knowing she loved the process of the hunt and he was all to happy to give her one.

All through the town they play cat and mouse till she trapped him by where the elements had set up the fair years ago.

"Now I got you Dark and your gonna tell me why it took so long for you to- WHAA!" She was cut off when he pounced and pinned her to the ground smirking down at her.

"Dont you know a cornered animal is the most dangerous?" He asked before leaning in capturing her lips letting her claws go as she wrapped him around his broad neck and shoulders flipping them over where she was on top still engaged in a lip lock before the need of air became to much pulling back with a pop.

"Wow now that is how you make up with someone." Gilda smiled looking down at the stallion.

"I aim to please." He grinned before sitting up.

"Im so sorry Gil for not getting in touch with you earlier, I had so many things happening here it completely slipped my mind." He apologized getting a light peck on the lips from Gilda.

"Its cool Dark I forgive you, so tell me whats been going on." She replied while he layed back down while she layed on his chest listening to him tell her what happened since they parted ways.

"Wow hows the Imperium? Havent really got a chance to see it since our battle with those ponies and boars knocking on our door." She spoke getting a sigh from him.

"A lot of first and fourth districts were heavily damaged but from what Pinkie says the repairs are going smooth. What of our other allies and what about your place?" He asked.

"Well since they got delayed in a storm we were prepared for them and beat them back with minimum casualties and damage to the city. As for the others they are fine but Glascow was heavily damaged from the attack, apparently they were attacked by griffons, boars, and ponies. They were almost overrun till Glidesdale came and relived them." She reported while he sighed.

"Im just glad they are all ok. So did your place make it out ok?" He asked getting a groan from her.

"No some freak rock from a catapult crashed right through my home! Im just glad I have war insurance." She smiled getting a nod from him.

"Well you know you can always crash at my place if need be in between your flights Gil." He said getting a grin from her before looking around and seeing it was dark out.

"Come on lets head inside it looks like it about to rain." He pointed out getting a nod from Gilda.

"No kiddin come on lets check in with the princess before heading to bed, besides." She replied slyly while nibbling on Darks ear.

"I want to pick up where we left off on last week." She said huskily in her before walking ahead of him swaying her hips with a smile on her face.
