Follow the Creed, Blade of Light, Run with the Wind.

Luke ran through the streets, startling some ponies and guards. His new body went as fast as sonic would, which gave him as bit of a scare as well. But along with the grey guards, his main worry was tripping up and eating dirt for a mile. But, in the midst of the incoming danger and possible death. He smiled as the wind blew in his face. He laughed for a while until he was almost hit by a magical beam. He skidded to a halt and tried to find out where he was.

He had actually ran into a battlefield between the royal guards and the weird grey guards. He watched as the unicron grey guards were approaching, firing random beams everywhere, hitting the ground around him, the buildings and even the blockades the royal guards set up. Luke tapped his foot and got ready to spin dash his way through the grey guards. He started to spin and spin to speed up, causing the royal guards to look in shock. Before he finally pushed himself off the ground and turned into a red blur, smashing the grey guards into nothing but dust. He soon stopped and looked behind him to see the mess he left behind.

All that was left was piles of dust, which seemed more like ashes. Tiny animals like rabbits and birds. And a bunch of stunned guards.

“Huh. Not a bad start.” Luke said as he saw a rainbow blur in the sky that came to a complete stop right in front of him. The blur was Rainbow Dash, whose jaw dropped after looking at the scene Luke had left.

“Dude! Did you just take on all those guards!?”

“Yeah, wasn’t even that hard.” He said, smirking and rubbing his chest with a cupped fist before blowing it.

“That’s…so awesome!” she said.

“Yeah, but I think we should continue this chat when a city isn’t under siege.” Luke said.

“Good point.” She said. They talked so much that Rainbow Dash was just barely missed by a kamikaze pegasus. They looked around to see they where surrounded by the pegasus grey guards.

“You take the ones on the left, I take the ones on the right?” Luke asked.

“How? You don’t have wings.” Rainbow dash said. Luke just chuckled and smirked.

“Watch me.” He said as he jumped in the air and performed a homing attack on three guards. All three turning into dust and little birds. He landed on the ground, pleasantly surprising Rainbow Dash and scaring the grey guards.

“Impressive.” Rainbow Dash said as she punched two guards, causing them to turn into dust and birds. The remaining grey guards decided to run but most were shot down by purple beams. Luke and Rainbow looked back to see the rest of the mane six, with Pinkie Pie holding Twilight’s mane and tail.

“I am heavy weapons Pie. And this is my new weapon.” Pinkie said in a Russian accent. Causing Luke to laugh furiously.

“Pinkie! Let me go!” Twilight said as she broke out of Pinkie’s grip.

“Oh, that slaps me on the knee.” Luke said, trying to mimic the voice Pinkie put on.

They stopped laughing as they saw the guards started to charge past them. And ran down the street. Luke quickly wiped a tear from his eye and started to spin again. The mane six all looking in aw, Pinkie tempted to touch Luke but Twilight slapped her hoof away.

Luke bounced off from the floor again, becoming a red blur. He yet again scared the Royal Guards before smashing his way through a horde of grey guards. he saw five pegasus grey guards in the air and decided to homing attack them. He finished the job before continuing on.

He soon smashed another bunch of grey guards before finally skidding to a halt. He look to see a huge grey unicorn guard on a pile of rubble. Looking furious as a bunch of unicorn and pegasus guards surrounded him.

Luke decided to start taunting the guard because, when has that ever gone wrong?

“Hey, lardo. I’ve seen fat villains before but this is ridiculous. Grow a moustache and I’ll probably have to use a Sonic Colors joke!”

You know which one.

The large unicorn roared in anger and spoke some weird gibberish before the pegasus and unicorn guards charged at Luke. He smirked and quickly used a homing attack on the pegasus guards before hitting the unicorn guards simultaneously. It was like a pinball machine as Luke bounced from guard to guard.

Once he was finished, he brushed the dust of his shoulder and tapped his shoe.

“Was that it?” he asked. The huge guard roared into the sky and pulled out an equally huge sword with its mouth. Luke got ready as the two were about to have an all-out fight.

The guard was the first to strike, bringing his sword down to the ground. Luke was able to quickly dodge and used a homing attack. The attack only caused some damage to the guard, who laughed it off and brought his sword down for another attack.

“Okay, maybe this won’t be as easy as he thought it would be.” Luke said as he dodged again. He tried the homing attack several more times, only causing minor harm to the guard. It wasn’t easy with a giant sword aiming for him. He decided that if he tried to spin dash, the guard’s sword would be covered in red. He decided to go for the eye, hoping it would make any effect.

As he hit the eye, he landed back down and watched to see if there was any effect. He was shocked when the guard just laughed as his eye seemed to fix itself.

“Oh, that’s just not fair.” He said.

“Hey, bird brain!”

Luke and the guard looked up to see Rainbow Dash.

“I bet you can’t reach me.” She taunted and pulled a face. The guard grinned as two huge wings started to form out of the dust. The guard started to flap his wings and slowly started to speed up. Rainbow Dash started to worry.

“Okay, this isn’t good.” She said as she started to fly away, the guard slowly following. Luke was looking around him, trying to see what he could use to help Rainbow Dash.

“Luke!”

He turned to see the rest of the mane six running from the street.

“Where’s Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked.

“Up there!” he shouted and pointed towards the sky. The mares all gasped as Rainbow Dash flew for her life. Luke then saw the pile of rubble, could be used for a ramp.

“Girls, I have an idea! Quick, help me with this.” Luke said as he started to shift the rubble.

“What are we doing?” Twilight asked.

“Making a ramp, if I can get a clear shot at the guard’s chest. I think I can take it down.” Luke said. The mares then wasted no time in helping with the ramp, and soon made a makeshift ramp. Luke walked back, aligning himself up. Before starting up his spin dash.

Rainbow Dash saw the ramp and Luke charging up his attack. She decided to lead the guard straight for the ramp.

“Man, Can you go any slower?” she taunted. The guard roared one more time and started to flap more and more. Rainbow Dash sweated as she dodged a swinging sword. She started to pull up, hoping Luke would be able to get rid of the guard.

The rest of the mane six saw as some of the grey guards started to head for them and Luke. They got ready to fight. Luke meanwhile, finally got a shot of the guard’s chest and blasted off. The red blur rolling over the ramp and into the air. The red blur had gotten high enough before it disappeared into the guard. After a few seconds, the red blur had burst out of its back and landed onto the grass in front of the wall.

The guard soon let out a scream as it dissolved into nothing but dust and fall over the ground, covering the mane six and the grey guards.

Rainbow Dash flew over to Luke to see if he was alright. She barely missed a hawk that passed her, before she found Luke on the ground panting.

“You alright there?” she asked. Luke grinned and gave her a thumbs up.

“Um. Does that mean anything?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“It…means I’m…good.” He said between pants.

“Ah, gotcha.” She said. She flew down, went behind Luke and picked him up by the arms.

“Come on, let’s go.” She said as she took to the skies again carrying Luke. She landed back down next to her friends. Placing Luke on the ground. He got up on his knees and slowly stopped panting.

“Are ya’ll alright?” Applejack asked.

“Yeah, just gotta catch my breath.” Luke said as he got on his feet but was pushing against his knees. But the mares and Luke all looked to see the grey guards running towards them. Luke had very little energy but he put up his fists into a fighting position.

But surprisingly, the grey guards just ran past them and onto the other side of the wall. It looked like the grey guards were giving up. As the last one left, Royal guards appeared from all through the streets.

“Come on! Let’s get ‘em!” One shouted as the Royal guards charged on, chasing the grey guards as they ran. As the Royal guards pressed on. Some stopped by the mane six and Luke to see if they were okay. They replied with a yes and told them they were fine. Soon Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flied down to the ground. Looking in horror of the devastation the raiders had done to their city.

“Sister. Look what they have done.” Luna said as she picked up some of the rubble with her magic.

“I Know Luna. It will take many weeks to rebuild. And even more on our new wall.” Celestia said.

“So much time and effort put into this to keep our ponies safe. And is taken down in mere seconds.” Luna watched as ponies slowly made their way through the streets, assisted by Royal guards.

“Luna, you know who’s responsible for this. We both do.” Celestia said.

“But he should still be in the castle gardens should he not?” Luna asked. Just then, two Royal guards ran up to the princesses and bowed.

“Princess, we have just checked the castle gardens for any more of those grey guards. And we found two guards dead in the bushes and Discord’s statue missing.” This shocked the princesses and the mane six. While Luke just looked confused.

“Who the hell is Discord?”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Meanwhile, Discord was sitting on a cotton candy cloud. Throwing a bouncy ball in the air and catching it. Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon were standing over a table, covered with maps and statistics. As they were discussing what their first attack would be, some grey guards who were worn out and tired.

“Lord Discord. We have return from Canterlot.” The lead one spoke in his gibberish language. But since Discord is the god of chaos, he could understand it perfectly.

“Ah finally, I was getting tired waiting. So, how was the raid?”

“What! You launched a raid on Canterlot!? What were you thinking!?” Chrysalis screamed at Discord, breathing deeply.

“Well, I am the god of chaos. Did you expect me to just do nothing?” he asked. Chrysalis just facehoofed.

“So, did you destroy the buildings, break a few of the glass windows?” Discord asked.

“No, we didn’t Lord Discord. We destroyed some of the wall, and broke a few buildings and knocked some down. But Most of us went down the quickest street to the castle. But we couldn’t even get half-way.” The guard bowed in fear.

Discord was not happy. He expected that they would at least be able to overcome the Royal guards.

“What!? How did you not succed!?”

“Nice going idiot. Our first attack only knocks some houses down.” Chrysalis complained.

“But how can those Royal guards beat my chaos guards?”

“Weren’t your chaos guards sent out against a bunch of peasants? And you were then trapped in stone.” Nightmare Moon pointed out.

“That’s beside the point!” Discord rebutted.

“Lord Discord. We could have done it but many of us were taken out by a red blur.” The guard replied.

“A red blur?”

“Yes, I was with our leader you attached us to. When a red blur came out of nowhere. It turned out to be this red creature, who was so fast he was able to destroy most of our fellow chaos guards. I was lucky enough that I only got shock and crashed, I was knocked out until a fellow chaos guard came and found me. I would have been found if it wasn’t for him.” The guard finished.

“Alright, go join your fellow guards. You will receive future orders.” Discord said. The guards nodded and left.

“Well, looks like we might have a problem.” Discord said.

"Oh? How so?" Nightmare Moon asked.

"It seems that there is a creature that not only can go faster then the element of Loyalty, but was able to take out half of my guards." Discord explained.

“...It seems your raid wasn’t completely useless after all. Now we know what to expect when we attack next.” Nightmare Moon said.

“It seems we need to be ready for this red speedy…whatever this is.” Chrysalis pointed out.

“Well, what we waitng for?” Discord asked.

“Where and when to strike. And if you launch another assault without acknowledging us. I will personally give you back to the princesses so you can spend another millennia in stone.” Chrysalis said.

“Fine. But you’re no fun.”

“I didn’t intend to be.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Princesses, the mane six and Luke were back in the castle, with the Royal guards, construction workers and volunteers slowly rebuilding and repairing the damage.

“So those guys are called chaos guards?” Luke asked. Back into his normal human form.

“Yes, we fought them when we used the elements of harmony to seal him in stone.” Luna said.

“The what of what?” he asked.

“Special ancient relics that protect and maintain harmony and peace in our world. They used to be gems and link to me and Luna. But recently, the six ponies you see here today all represent those elements.” Celestia said.

“…Please go on.” Luke said, still a bit confused.

“Well, it’s easy. Applejack represents Honesty, Pinkie represents Laughter, Rarity represents Generosity, Fluttershy represents Kindness, and Twilight represents Magic. And yours truly represents Loyalty.” Rainbow Dash explained.

“Oh, okay.”

Screw it, I’ll just use my powers in case more of those guards come along.

“Anyway, now what?” Luke asked.

“Well, we must increase defence around our cities in case they come back. And we must find out who exactly let Discord out of his stone prison.” Luna said.

“Yes, I agree with you, and don’t want to be rude. But I would like to know where I could live.” Luke said.

“Well, you could possibly-“

“I could let him stay with me!” Twilight interrupted the princess very loudly. Everyone looked at her while she blushed.

“Sorry.”

“Well, Luke would it be okay with you if you stayed with Twilight in Ponyville?” Celestia asked.

“Yeah, I don’t see a problem with that.” Luke said.

“Then it is settled. You should all probably head home now, it is about to get dark soon.” Celestia said.

The group nodded and left the castle. They walked the streets of Canterlot, which at first seemed to be normal, except for a few more Royal guards. But as they got closer to the train station, they saw the damage to buildings grow and grow. It was also heartbreaking for them as they saw families crying over losing everything. They soon reached the train and waited for the next train to Ponyville, but something else was different. They saw more ponies leave with heavy bags that seemed to be packed very quickly. And less ponies entering the station.

“Why are so many ponies leaving?”

“Well, if an attack was so close to my house. Or even nearly destroyed or damaged the house, I would try to get out as quick as I could as well.” Luke explained.

Soon they boarded the train as it left, which was packed more than a usual trip from the City to the town. As Luke sat down next to Rainbow Dash, he thought about when Twilight spontaneously interrupted Celestia, just to get him to stay with her.

“Hey Dash. Do you have any idea why Twilight wanted me to stay with her?”

“Well, you are an alien technically. And Twilight is a bit of an egghead so she’s probably going to ask you questions or study your powers.”

“Oh…

…crap.”
