" Unit Union-04-1152 shouted into his radio, The Overwatch Voice instantly replies. "Protection team, lock down positions, Sacrifice code, The Robotic Voice boomed in his headset, Union sighed inwardly, That meant he was SUPPOSED to die. There were no reinforcements coming. Just then, the familiar sound of a Civil Protection Officer's Bio-Signal Disconnecting, beeped in the headset. That was another member of his squad. He looked over to the officer's last position, there he lay, a bullet pierced into the Mask, and the head. Union immediately shouted into his radio again. "Outbreak, Outbreak, Outbreak!" He shouted, Outbreak meant that he was the last person alive in a Unit, Before long, he saw a bullet whizzed by his head, grazing him. He could have had a Heart Attack, but he was too focused on the Task at hand. He took a last Stand against Rebel Forces; A group of Civilians who oppose against the Universal Union's Causes. They were coming at his from several directions, Hungry for revenge after all of the years of beating they received from the Officers. All Union had was his MP7, with tons of ammo to spare, his Stunstick, and his Uniform. Nothing else. He checked his Weapon's chamber, before cocking it. He stood up, and aimed it at a big group of them, he readied his trigger-finger, and pulled it. A "Ratatatatat" was booming from the gun, unloading tons, and tons of lead upon the group of Resistance Members. Almost all of them in that spot was falling. Of course CP's were more experienced than the Resistance, they were well fed, kept in shape, and received training from the best of the best. The majority of the Resistance was malnourished, Exhausted, Held poor weaponry, and were not trained properly at all. So the Union had the advantage. A *CLICK* *CLICK* was heard from the device, telling him that it was exhausted of Ammunition. He ducked into his cover, and ripped out his Magazine from the Gun, pulled out a new one from his pouch, and inserted it to where the old Mag was before. He Pulled back the Chamber, and it was ready to go again. He jumped from his cover. As soon as he jumped out, a bullet pierced his Stomach, "Agh!" He grunted in pain, as he held his stomach, before dropping onto the dusty ground. Blood was pouring relentlessly from his open wound, no signs of stopping soon without Medical Attention. He knew this was his end. Resistance Forces coming from everywhere, all around. Before slowing walking up to his position on the ground. One of them, was wearing one of his fellow Officer's Combat Vest. Union looked at the Member's Hand. It held a 9MM Pistol. Locked and Loaded. Union just laughed silently. As his end was being held by a Simple man. He walked up to Union, placing the Barrel of the Gun to the Gasmask's forehead. "This is probably stupid...... But any last words?" The Resistance member asked him, up and loud. Union just laid there, doing nothing, The Rebel just shrugged. "Have a good one." He with a genuine smile. Before pulling his finger on the trigger. *TAT* *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* "Civil protection units, please advise, Civil Protection Unit, 1152, Bio-Signal, Disconnected, please send search teams, to investigate." ~~~ "Oh no you don't! Up you go!" A Sinister sounding voice was heard from the darkness. *BWISH* ~~~ "What the hay!?!? What are you!?!?!" A feminine sounding voice said, but Union didn't know whose voice it was as it was pitch black to him, as if he was in a coma. ~~~ "I just found it laying here, can you do something about him nurse?" The same voice said again, "I'll see, but no guarantees. I don't even know what it is." A different voice said, still Female. ~~~ "As far as we can tell, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, it's story checks out, I just wish we could take off its armor and mask so we could get a good look at it. Our Magic doesn't seem to affect it at all, which is strange...... We will wait until it wakes up, so we can judge it better. It may take a few days." The Second voice said again. "Its equipment is alien. We do not know what it is, but they do not look like weapons, just leave it by the bedside Nurse." A THIRD voice said. This time, it's Masculine. "Whatever you say, Doctor." The Second voice said. As far as Union can tell, he's in a hospital. Maybe he survived the shot, and other Units found him. But that doesn't explain why the Doctor and Nurse said stuff like: calling him; it, Calling his equipment Alien, and such. Maybe he stumbled upon a different Dimension. Ha-ha, what a silly thought. Or MAYBE he has gone completely insane, he must be dead. Otherwise they wouldn't be saying stupid shit like that. ~~~ Hours later, ~~ Union thought he could see a light. 'must be heaven' he thought. It didn't bother him though, as the light came closer and closer to him. Before long, he sees the image of a Hospital room. He must've been saved then! That's when he realized he was just opening his eyelids. Oh well, It took him a little bit of time to get adjusted to the light of the room. To find that he was laying in a hospital bed, with his Uniform and Mask on. "What the fuck? Why would they keep my shit on?" He thought out loud. He found his belongings laying on the Bedside counter. 'MP7, check. 'Stunstick, always there.' That's it. He decided to wait until a Doctor or Nurse comes into the room, as it was empty at the moment. That's when the door creaked open slightly, before fully open to what appears to be..... "The fuck?" Union suddenly shouted, backing away from the door, what stood there was not what he expected at ALL. It appeared to be, what was it again? A pony? It looked like it. But it didn't seem like your normal pony you would find before the Universal Union invaded. It looked like it was from a Cartoon of some sorts, he was pretty sure he could remember something before everything gone downhill, but it didn't bother him now. He was looking at a pony with a Nurse Cap. It had White Fur, PINK Mane? And some sort of Symbol on its "Thigh" area. A red cross. He was pretty sure Ponies went extinct, like many other animals on Earth, after the big Invasion. The Combine only let Humans live. Its expression told him it was sentient. It looked Confused, and Scared at the same time. "H-H-Hello? C-Can you understand me?" It SAID. WHAT? It talked................. It.... Talked? Hang on, hang on.... It... TALKED. It asked him a question. He might as well answer it, He might be insane anyway. "I can talk as much as you." Union said, with his Vo-Coder blocking his real voice. The Pony looked afraid, but it seemed to calm a bit once he talked. But not to a full extent. "O-Okay, then, can-can I come then?" She asked with different emotions mixed together. " Are you sure you're not just a part of my imagination? " Union asked with NO sign of emotion in his voice. The Pony gulped loudly. "I'm p-pretty sure I'm here." She said, obviously confused on why he would say that. Without warning, her horn lit up with a glowing aura, then his weapons began to glow with the same color. They suddenly began to LEVITATE. God this can't get any better. His weapons began to float towards the Pony, as if her horn was producing magic. "How.....?" Union said as quietly as possible, not believing his own eyes. "This is magic, considering you're alien. I assume you don't belong in Equestria." She said, calmness in her voice and face now. "My name is Nurse Redheart, I work at the Ponyvile General Hospital." Redheart said. 'Ponyville.............? Oh my god. Ponyville... Equestria.... Ha-ha, I know exactly where I FUCKING am right now.' Thought out, Ponyville, Equestria... This must've been that Brony Phenonemon That happened between 2010 - 201_. "Great, fucking GREAT. Union shouted out, not knowing that he actually shouted out. "What is it?" Redheart asked. "I might be in hell right now, Nurse." Author's Note As said from the description, It was heavily inspired by that story linked in the DESC. This was really fun to write. I will enjoy this further when I write more chapters. Act 1; Chapter 1: Permanent Off-world Assignment"Erm........."- Redheart said as if the word "Confusion" was a physical object, Weighing her down with tons, and tons of force. -"I don't know what you are talking about, -What's your name?" She asked. Union sighing inwardly. He didn't want her to know his real name for obvious reasons. So he didn't know what else to say other than his Unit name and Number. "Just call me Union, - my call-sign." Union said, matter-of-factly. Redheart's face turning into one of confusion. "U-Union? That's it-? Nothing else?" "Look, if you want to know my REAL name, too bad. It's against my protocol." Union sighed, not knowing that he created a whole new conversation. "Protocol?"- She asked again, confused. -"That must mean you are a part of a Military Branch of some sort.- Is that correct?" "You are a curious one, aren't you?-" He stated... Turning Redheart's face a little shade of red. "-If you must know, then yes. I am a part of a force called the "Combine Civil Authority", or CCA for short." Union started, before continuing on. "All of the Units in the Force are to be named by their official Civil Protection Number." Began again. "In this case, my number is: MPF-Union-EpU-1152." Finally ending his rather short explanation, which left Redheart EVEN more confused than before. " *Sigh*, okay... I would love to continue this on, but the Princess is on her way here. I sent a Mail Pony a scroll a few hours ago... When you were out.-" She started. This time, it's Union's turn to be confused, but he let her go on for a couple more minutes. "- Telling her of your presence in Ponyville, She is bound to arrive in a couple minutes." Redheart finishing her statement. Union sighed again inwardly. "Okay then, if the "Princess" Is coming, then I won't keep you waiting from greeting her." He said, letting Nurse Redheart leave the room for a while... Which she did, a couple seconds later. This lets him go into his thoughts again. 'Okay,-' He started. 'I am ACTUALLY in this world of talking, Magical ponies. Without a doubt.' 'That's dealt with... But WHY am I here?----' He started again, only to realize the door creaked open again. This time, it wasn't Redheart greeting him. It seemed to be a pony, but it was MUCH larger than Redheart, She had a Horn, along with large wings at her side. It--- She, SHE,--- appeared to be wearing a Crown, along with other accessories, telling him that must be the Princess Redheart was talking about. The union turned his gaze towards her face............ It seemed to be a face of Calm and Coolness, but also at the same time, very serious... This made him a little bit uneasy, as The Princess seemed to be almost like the Sectorial- The one who ruled the MPF... The SeC scared the crap out of him easily. As rumors gone around the Force that the SeC decorated her desk with the Skulls of Rebels and Resistance Forces. The Rumor didn't seem very believable at first, but considering the SeC's attitude, it is a very strong possibility that the rumor could be true after all. He cut all the crap, and focused on the Princess. "Hello, Union... I would like to talk to you, that IS if you don't mind." She said, with a genuine smile. Making him ease. "Sure thing....... Princess." Union saluted to her, making her blush the tiniest bit. "Oh please, just call me Celestia... Say,-" She started. "- That "salute" must mean you are a part of a Force of some kind. Would you care to Enlighten me?" She asked. Union sighing, he started his short explanation again, telling her of the CCA, and his Call-Sign... As soon as he finished, she became very fond of him, now knowing that he is a Soldier that acted like her Personal Guard. Of course, the Union explained the same thing he said to Redheart, so she didn't know that MUCH... Yet. He still has much to explain to her. "Okay Union, I assume you aren't really, hurt....... Considering your attitude." Celestia teased a bit. Making him crack up. "Heh heh, Princess... You haven't heard the rest of me speak." He joked a bit. Knowing that he wasn't anywhere near another Unit. So he didn't have to talk in Code anymore... "You can get up now." Celestia suggested. Union obliging. Getting out of his covers. He leapt out of the bed like a frog. Showing the rest of his armor to Celestia, her taking note of it. "This is the rest of my armor. I look like a robot, don't I? Heh." he said, getting her to chuckle. "I'm not gonna lie, yes you do." Celestia laughed. "Okay, now that's over with, can I take you to Canterlot for further questioning. i would like to get you a little bit more." She asked. "Err.... Yeah, sure thing. Let's go." he exclaimed... Celestia trotting out of the room, with Union close behind to her Chariot. They both leapt onto the Chariot, as it began to take off towards Canterlot. Author's Note This was a little short. But It's getting close to Sleepy sleep time, and I decided to unleash a new chapter. Enjoy! Act 1; Chapter 2: Hardpoint Nomad reactivate restrictors and report.Union and Celestia were sitting side by side on the Chariot, and her two personal guards sitting in front of them. Their facial expressions told Union that they were VERY protective of their Princess. As they were giving him the "If you dare move, I swear I will chop your head off" look. Which just made him chuckle inwardly. Celestia noticed their looks as well, worrying for Union, she decided to take some action. "Guards, you can stand down. He is not dangerous." She commanded them. Both of them look towards each other, shortly before shrugging, and untensing their muscles. Still looking at Union, he thought they were checking out his Armor Features. He had to agree.... his Uniform and Mask made him look like a badass, his Uniform consisted of his Trenchcoat, covered with Kevlar. Several Buckles strapped around his waist that held Satchels that contained his Ammunition. His MP7 was strapped to his back, ready to fire if need be, his stunstick was clipped to his belt, the last but not least, was his White Gas mask that covered his entire head. The Interior consisted of his Vo-coder, his Headset, and HUD. That's when one of the guards spoke to him. "Is that your Armor, or skin?" The one to the left spoke. "That is my Uniform and armor." Union replied automatically, just because he knew what the Guard was going to ask in the first place. "Very impressive, it's almost like that it was made for war." The Guard replied back. "That's because it is. I am called a CP." "Civil Protection, the long way." Celestia bumped in, just before "Hmm'ing", As if she just remembered something important. "May I ask you a question Union?" She asked. "Go ahead." "What does the "EpU" mean in your tag?" She asked again, "I do believe it is short for "Elite Protection Unit." I am a higher ranking officer, and it is my job to protect my Division leader at all costs... My DvL likes to consider me a "Role-Model" For the Lower-Ranking Units in the force." Union answered accordingly. "Ah....... So you are almost like my very own Personal Guardians here." Celestia said back, pointing back to her two guards sitting there. "Hmmmmm.... Yeah, you're right. There are Two EpU's in a Division, and you have two here. Very funny." He chuckled. "How's the training like in the force?" The same left guard asked again... Union chuckling, It's just as if they were conversing with each other like they weren't Warriors. He cut back to the chase. "Brutal, to say at the least." Union said, nothing more. Making the Guards look at each other worried. "If you made a simple mistake, you'll receive a slap in the face with one of THESE." Union spoke out loud, as if pissed off. He then unclipped his Stunstick from his belt. Both of the guards inspecting the mysterious Stick, before looking at Union again. "It's just a simple Baton. Is it not?" "Watch this..." Union replied back, before flicking the Stunstick, to turn it on. Making a spark come from the Tip, and landing on the Right guards fore-hoof. The guard jumped back in literal shock. "That thing shocks you with electricity?" "Oh do you SO know it. Now imagine that thing about going across your FACE. Jesus Christ, that's quite a shocker if you aren't expecting it, but I'm not gonna go into more detail. I think you heard enough for now. " Union chuckled. "Your majesty! We have arrived at the castle." The Driver suddenly shouted from the front... The Chariot bumped on the ground, as it hit Canterlot soil. Celestia, Her two guards and Union stepping out of the Chariot, and into the Garden of the Royal Castle. Union immediately noticing how Fancy the Structure was, Tons and tons of Guards wearing Gold Armor occupied the surrounding area, all of them doing their own thing, let it be guarding the doors, chatting, or plain patrolling the area for any pending dangers. "This is the castle then?" Union asked, still gazing at the large structure before him. "Yes it is... Beautiful, is it not? Celestia said, while admiring her Castle. "Please follow me to the Throne room please." She added, before trotting throughout the hallways of the interior of the building. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We are here!" Celestia said, while entering the Doorway to the Throne Room. Two ponies coming up to them, one of them was an Alicorn, the same as Celestia.... The other one was a guard that wore Purple'ish Armor. "Ah! Sister thou has returned with the Alien!" The Dark Blue one said to Celestia. She Apparently talked in some kind of speech that referred herself as: "We", and such. One of those people. "Your highness, The Guard bowed down before Celestia, she just smiles politely. "At ease, Captain Shining Armor." Celestia said. Union cracking up without anyone knowing. '"Shining ARMOR? Man, that's priceless.' He thought in his head. That is until he noticed that everyone was looking at him. "Errrr... This one here, name is: MPF-Union-EpU-1152. He is a High-Ranking Officer in the Force he resides in on his own World." Celestia awkwardly said, gesturing towards him. All of the ponies in the room inspected Union, except for Celestia, and the Two Guards. Shining Armor apparently looking at him suspiciously... The Dark Blue one eyeing his Dark Armor. (Wait what?) "His Armor is Heavy Duty." Shining Armor said, still eyeing his Uniform. 'Oh my god do I have to explain AGAIN?!?!?!' Union Cried out in his Thoughts. He physically sighed on the outside. "Yes Captain... I'm pretty sure he explained this to everyone he met so far, and I think he would like a break for a while, You know?" Celestia explained to both of them, they both nodded. "Yes your highness, I will go patrol now." Shining Armor said before exiting behind him. The Dark Blue Alicorn came towards him. "My name is Princess Luna. I Co-rule Equestria, alongside my Sister here, That is if she did not explain all ready." Luna said, not with "That" voice anymore. "You can just call me Union." He replied back simply. "Union, is it okay if I take you to the Canterlot Labratories to examine Your Armor? I like how it protects you more than Gold, And I would like to see how it works. I forgot to ask beforehand." Celestia asked politely Towards him. "Uhhh.... Sure thing Princess. Where is it exactly?" Union asked. "The Labratories are in the Castle for Research purposes. I have the best team of Scientists who study there." "May I come with you, Union and Sister? I would like to see this as well." Princess Luna asked them. "Of course you can, dear sister. Now, let's not waste anymore time. I think these can fit my guards fine." "Nothing will go bad..... Right?" Union asked. "Oh don't worry. It Isn't a problem." 'That sounds Familiar. Author's Note If any of you ask. This takes place Exactly after The Show's Premiere. So, The Start of Season one somewhere else.

This must've been that Brony Phenonemon That happened between 2010 - 201_. "Great, fucking GREAT. Union shouted out, not knowing that he actually shouted out. "What is it?" Redheart asked. "I might be in hell right now, Nurse." Author's Note As said from the description, It was heavily inspired by that story linked in the DESC. This was really fun to write.

Act 1; Chapter 1: Permanent Off-world Assignment"Erm........."- Redheart said as if the word "Confusion" was a physical object, Weighing her down with tons, and tons of force. -"I don't know what you are talking about, -What's your name?"

Of course, the Union explained the same thing he said to Redheart, so she didn't know that MUCH... Yet. He still has much to explain to her. "Okay Union, I assume you aren't really, hurt....... Considering your attitude." Celestia teased a bit. Making him crack up. "Heh heh, Princess... You haven't heard the rest of me speak." He joked a bit. Knowing that he wasn't anywhere near another Unit. So he didn't have to talk in Code anymore... "You can get up now." Celestia suggested. Union obliging. Getting out of his covers. He leapt out of the bed like a frog. Showing the rest of his armor to Celestia, her taking note of it. "This is the rest of my armor. I look like a robot, don't I? Heh." he said, getting her to chuckle. "I'm not gonna lie, yes you do." Celestia laughed. "Okay, now that's over with, can I take you to Canterlot for further questioning. i would like to get you a little bit more." She asked. "Err.... Yeah, sure thing. Let's go." he exclaimed... Celestia trotting out of the room, with Union close behind to her Chariot. They both leapt onto the Chariot, as it began to take off towards Canterlot. Author's Note This was a little short. But It's getting close to Sleepy sleep time, and I decided to unleash a new chapter. Enjoy!
Act 1; Chapter 2: Hardpoint Nomad reactivate restrictors and report.Union and Celestia were sitting side by side on the Chariot, and her two personal guards sitting in front of them. Their facial expressions told Union that they were VERY protective of their Princess. As they were giving him the "If you dare move, I swear I will chop your head off" look. Which just made him chuckle inwardly. Celestia noticed their looks as well, worrying for Union, she decided to take some action. "Guards, you can stand down. He is not dangerous." She commanded them. Both of them look towards each other, shortly before shrugging, and untensing their muscles. Still looking at Union, he thought they were checking out his Armor Features. He had to agree.... his Uniform and Mask made him look like a badass, his Uniform consisted of his Trenchcoat, covered with Kevlar. Several Buckles strapped around his waist that held Satchels that contained his Ammunition. His MP7 was strapped to his back, ready to fire if need be, his stunstick was clipped to his belt, the last but not least, was his White Gas mask that covered his entire head. The Interior consisted of his Vo-coder, his Headset, and HUD. That's when one of the guards spoke to him. "Is that your Armor, or skin?" The one to the left spoke. "That is my Uniform and armor." Union replied automatically, just because he knew what the Guard was going to ask in the first place. "Very impressive, it's almost like that it was made for war." The Guard replied back. "That's because it is. I am called a CP." "Civil Protection, the long way." Celestia bumped in, just before "Hmm'ing", As if she just remembered something important. "May I ask you a question Union?" She asked. "Go ahead." "What does the "EpU" mean in your tag?" She asked again, "I do believe it is short for "Elite Protection Unit." I am a higher ranking officer, and it is my job to protect my Division leader at all costs... My DvL likes to consider me a "Role-Model" For the Lower-Ranking Units in the force." Union answered accordingly. "Ah....... So you are almost like my very own Personal Guardians here." Celestia said back, pointing back to her two guards sitting there. "Hmmmmm.... Yeah, you're right. There are Two EpU's in a Division, and you have two here. Very funny." He chuckled. "How's the training like in the force?" The same left guard asked again... Union chuckling, It's just as if they were conversing with each other like they weren't Warriors. He cut back to the chase. "Brutal, to say at the least." Union said, nothing more. Making the Guards look at each other worried. "If you made a simple mistake, you'll receive a slap in the face with one of THESE." Union spoke out loud, as if pissed off. He then unclipped his Stunstick from his belt. Both of the guards inspecting the mysterious Stick, before looking at Union again. "It's just a simple Baton. Is it not?" "Watch this..." Union replied back, before flicking the Stunstick, to turn it on. Making a spark come from the Tip, and landing on the Right guards fore-hoof. The guard jumped back in literal shock. "That thing shocks you with electricity?" "Oh do you SO know it. Now imagine that thing about going across your FACE. Jesus Christ, that's quite a shocker if you aren't expecting it, but I'm not gonna go into more detail. I think you heard enough for now. " Union chuckled. "Your majesty! We have arrived at the castle." The Driver suddenly shouted from the front... The Chariot bumped on the ground, as it hit Canterlot soil. Celestia, Her two guards and Union stepping out of the Chariot, and into the Garden of the Royal Castle. Union immediately noticing how Fancy the Structure was, Tons and tons of Guards wearing Gold Armor occupied the surrounding area, all of them doing their own thing, let it be guarding the doors, chatting, or plain patrolling the area for any pending dangers. "This is the castle then?" Union asked, still gazing at the large structure before him. "Yes it is... Beautiful, is it not? Celestia said, while admiring her Castle. "Please follow me to the Throne room please." She added, before trotting throughout the hallways of the interior of the building. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We are here!" Celestia said, while entering the Doorway to the Throne Room. Two ponies coming up to them, one of them was an Alicorn, the same as Celestia.... The other one was a guard that wore Purple'ish Armor. "Ah! Sister thou has returned with the Alien!" The Dark Blue one said to Celestia. She Apparently talked in some kind of speech that referred herself as: "We", and such. One of those people. "Your highness, The Guard bowed down before Celestia, she just smiles politely. "At ease, Captain Shining Armor." Celestia said. Union cracking up without anyone knowing. '"Shining ARMOR? Man, that's priceless.' He thought in his head. That is until he noticed that everyone was looking at him. "Errrr... This one here, name is: MPF-Union-EpU-1152. He is a High-Ranking Officer in the Force he resides in on his own World." Celestia awkwardly said, gesturing towards him. All of the ponies in the room inspected Union, except for Celestia, and the Two Guards. Shining Armor apparently looking at him suspiciously... The Dark Blue one eyeing his Dark Armor. (Wait what?) "His Armor is Heavy Duty." Shining Armor said, still eyeing his Uniform. 'Oh my god do I have to explain AGAIN?!?!?!' Union Cried out in his Thoughts. He physically sighed on the outside. "Yes Captain... I'm pretty sure he explained this to everyone he met so far, and I think he would like a break for a while, You know?" Celestia explained to both of them, they both nodded. "Yes your highness, I will go patrol now." Shining Armor said before exiting behind him. The Dark Blue Alicorn came towards him. "My name is Princess Luna. I Co-rule Equestria, alongside my Sister here, That is if she did not explain all ready." Luna said, not with "That" voice anymore. "You can just call me Union." He replied back simply. "Union, is it okay if I take you to the Canterlot Labratories to examine Your Armor? I like how it protects you more than Gold, And I would like to see how it works. I forgot to ask beforehand." Celestia asked politely Towards him. "Uhhh.... Sure thing Princess. Where is it exactly?" Union asked. "The Labratories are in the Castle for Research purposes. I have the best team of Scientists who study there." "May I come with you, Union and Sister? I would like to see this as well." Princess Luna asked them. "Of course you can, dear sister. Now, let's not waste anymore time. I think these can fit my guards fine." "Nothing will go bad..... Right?" Union asked. "Oh don't worry. It Isn't a problem." 'That sounds Familiar. Author's Note If any of you ask. This takes place Exactly after The Show's Premiere. So, The Start of Season one somewhere else.
