The legend of Eclipse

Eclipse walked beside Luna both on the alert for any danger,Stone Hoof walked behind looking back every now and then to make sure they wern't being followed and Moonshine was keeping her magic ready to attack anything that would try to harm them.

"Your majesty." Hawk Eye called landing on a branch "The road ahead has been overrun by a diamond dog mining operation and we won't be able to pass."

"Buck." Eclipse cursed pulling out a map "Let's see since we can't move through the diamond dogs mining area we will have to go through Ponyville to get around, not only is it the safer option but we can resupply while we're there however it will add another day to our journy." Eclipse ordered as the group made their way towards Ponyville.

"And your certain this footage is genuine." Captain Peter said looking at the footage of Leon talking to a small zebra that he had copied onto an I-pad

" Sir we both know that all footage sent through the camera on privet Mercer's vest is heavily encrypted to prevent any tampering of the footage during transmission." Paul replied

"Still we now know that there is inelegant life here and that could complicate things." Peter said

"True but now 'the link' is complete and ready to transport whatever we need to our location." Paul replied

"Good once the green light is given I'll return to earth with the footage I have received." Peter said looking over to a large metal platform large enough to hold three fighter jets. "And Paul." Peter said looking over to the young technician

"Yes sir." Paul replied

"Keep an eye on Mercer we can't risk him telling the locals about what we are here for otherwise we could be at risk of a war." Peter ordered before stepping onto the platform with the I-Pad and with a bright flash disappearing returning to earth.

"Princess Celestia what do you make of this?" Swift-Wind asked concerned for his princess

"I-it can't be possible... It can't." Celestia said sadly as she read through the document looking like she might burst into tears at any moment

"But it is true your highness these documents Where found in his room and it is also marked with his royal seal, I'm afraid Eclipse has betrayed us all." the messenger replied

"Celestia I understand your upset about this after all your not the only one who has viewed Eclipse as a son." Swift-Wind said " But these documents clearly state that Eclipse has been conspiring against us."

"Y-your right it is my responsibility to protect Equestia at any cost... send the guards to... A-arrest E-Eclipse." Celestia said "N-now if you'll excuse me I...I Need some time alone." and with that Celestia stood up and walked to her room. When Celestia closed her door and made sure it was locked she fell onto her bed and began to cry.

Night fell over Equestia as Eclipse and his group set up camp, Luna sat by the fire as Eclipse got up for his shift to keep watch.

"Get some rest Luna I'm sure you must be tired after raising the moon and stars." Eclipse said walking up to Luna

"It is alright Eclipse I have risen the moon many times and have gotten used to the power needed to do so." Luna reassured

"Nevertheless you should rest if we are attacked during the night we all need to be at full strength." Eclipse replied

"Do not fear Eclipse if I have enough power to raise the moon I can easily handle a manticore." Luna joked

"I guess your right. Anyway I wanted to give you these." Eclipse said reaching into his satchel and pulling out the midnight roses he had picked and handing them to Luna. "Eclipse how did you know?" Luna asked

"As a royal guard I have my sources of information." Eclipse replied

"Thank you." Luna said using her magic to hold the roses as she looked into Eclipse's sapphire eyes while looked into her light blue eyes. After what seemed to them like hours Luna brought her face closer to Eclipse's as Eclipse did the same bringing his lips to hers as they shared a kiss. The kiss lasted for five minuets before Eclipse and Luna pulled back for air "Eclipse I..." Luna said blushing and turning away before she felt an armored hand on her cheek bringing her face back towards his. "I know Luna I love you too." Eclipse replied before bringing his lips back to Luna's again.

Leon woke in Zecora's hut finding himself lying on a large rug he guessed that Zecora had put him there to recover. "Good you are awake I feared that something important might brake." Zecora said

"Still ryming eh Zecora." Leon joked as he tried to get up surprised to find that his foot didn't hurt "That must have been some strong as fuck potion you gave me."

"Well I wanted to make sure we could get you to Ponyville so Twilight could ask you some questions."

"Fine let's get something to eat then go." Leon said getting up but still limping slightly while Zecora went over to her cauldron and pouring some stew into a bowl for Leon and handing it to him. "thank Zecora and... I'm sorry." Leon said

"Why?" Zecora asked

"What do you mean why? I thought you where a hallucination caused by that blue plant and I even tried to shoot you." Leon replied

"It is alright Leon you where scared and where simply defending yourself from possible harm." Zecora reassured "Now eat and we will leave."

Celestia cried into the pillows of her bed sorrow weighing on her heart, she just couldn't believe that Eclipse her own son would betray her, Celestia looked over to a photo of her levitating Eclipse with her magic when he was just a baby, the photo used to give her a sense of pride towards her son but now all she felt was sorrow. "Princess are you alright?" a guard asked sticking his head through her door

"I just sent the bucking guards to arrest my only son what do you bucking think?" Celestia yelled her sorrow turning to anger as she threw the photo of her and Eclipse at the guard who quickly shut the door to avoid getting hit causing the photo to hit the door leaving the frame that held the photo to shatter. Celestia looked at the photo realizing what she had just done as she took the photo and stared at it "I know your innocent Eclipse... I just know it." Celestia muttered to herself as she took a quill and paper and began to write.

Dear Twilight Sparkle

I call upon you to aid me in a very important investigation, just recently I have been given documents concerning my son prince Eclipse Lunablade I fear somepony may be trying to frame him for treason although it was found in his room and signed by his royal seal I believe he is innocent. However the security of Equestia must always come first even before my family, it is for this reason that I ask that you come to Canterlot immediately and investigate the situation further. I also ask that you keep this note privet and do NOT under ANY curcomstances reveal anything I have told you, I have sent the guards to arrest Eclipse and I will have to put him on trial I hope that you can find evidence of his innocence before then.

Your mentor Princess Celestia.

When Celestia finished her note she folded it and marked it with a red seal indicating it as a letter for Twilight's eyes only before using her magic to sent it to her student.

"Twilight you gotta see this." Spike yelled running into the main room of the library

"What is it Spike?" Twilight asked

"A letter from Princess Celestia with a red seal." Spike replied before Twilight quickly yanked the note from his hands and running up into her room to read the letter. As Twilight read through the letter she couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for what Celestia would be feeling while sending the letter as the paper had a few wet marks from Celestia's tears, Twilight quickly finished reading before using her magic to burn the letter and packing her saddle bag with a variety of investigative equipment and running down the stairs.

"Spike I need to go to Canterlot for a few days keep the library clean and remember to lock up before bed." Twilight said walking towards the door

"But Twilight Zecora's bringing this Leon guy later today aren't ya meant to be asking him some questions?" Spike asked

"Spike this is more important I can't tell you why but just trust me on this. Besides when he gets here just send me a letter to let me know he's here then I'll send back some questions for you to ask." Twilight replied before running out the door and running towards the train to Canterlot.

Blueblood sat by his desk sipping a cup of tea looking over the many documents the royal spies had gathered his eyes scanning for anything to turn against Eclipse. "One document against Eclipse is enough to get him imprisoned but I can't risk somepony clearing his name before then I need more evidence." Blueblood muttered to himself before he noticed the sketching of an object that the spies had obtained from the strange creatures that they later found out was actually a type of weapon.

"They must have gotten their hooves on one if the sketches are this accurate." Blueblood muttered to himself "Shadow Blade bring me the items the spies took from these invaders." Blueblood commanded as Shadow Blade walked out to gather what the spies had taken. "The items may have been found by the spies but that doesn't mean Eclipse hasn't been in possession of them beforehand
