The legend of Eclipse

"Your majesty she's here." a guard said to princess Celestia through the door before turning towards the lavender unicorn"Remember the princess is in a very sensitive mood do not mention anything about her son unless asked to."

"Understood!" Twilight replied entering the room "Princess you wanted to... See me." Twilight couldn't help but feel sorry for her mentor, Celestia's mane was messy and no longer flowed in an invisible breeze her eyes had become reddened due to crying her face was covered in tears.

"Twilight my faithful student." Celestia greeted not bothering to face Twilight

"Princess..." Twilight began

"Twilight I do not wish for your company I want you here so you can s-s-save... S-so you can save..." and with that Celestia ran towards Twilight, pulled her into a tight hug and began to cry.

"Celestia..." Twilight said beginning to shed tears of her own

"Save him Twilight please save him I beg you please save my son." Celestia said between sobs "Save him so that the one who did this can pay."

"I will Celestia I will." Twilight replied

"Princess Celestia I fear that I must bring grave news." a messenger said walking into the room "Our investigators have found this in Eclipse's room." the messenger pony held up a plastic bag containing an item that had L shape that had a loop at where the metal turned and within that loop held a trigger, the bag also contained smaller pieces of metal that the spies had learned were shot out of the larger item.

"Leave Celestia to grieve can't you understand that she's already upset over this." Twilight yelled at the messenger before using her magic to toss him out of the room and into a pillar. "Don't worry Celestia I'll save him." Twilight said before pulling away from Celestia and walking towards Eclipse's room.

"Buck she'll ruin everything if she investigates this I need to get rid of her" Blueblood said looking at Twilight through his bed room window "Hmm this should send a message to her." and with that Blueblood shot a beam of magic towards Twilight.

Twilight walked towards Eclipse's room thinking of how to clear his name from this crime, she knew Eclipse only left Canterlot when he was sent on a mission or to attend special events throughout Equestia, Twilight also knew that Eclipse was only in his room to sleep or to change clothing. "So how could the evidence have been found in his room. And even if that was true why didn't the maids find any of it before since they clean his room at least once a week." Twilight said to herself just before a burst of energy hit just in front of her, as Twilight jumped back in shock from the blast she noticed words scorched into the carpet. "Stay out of this or else." Twilight read to herself as the words quickly faded leaving the carpet as it was. "So he has been framed." Twilight muttered before continuing down the hall on more alert than ever.

Twilight finally made it to Eclipse's room the door had two guards standing next to it with their wings spread to block the entrance. "Halt this room is a crime scene you are not allowed to pass." one of the guards said

"The princess has requested my help to investigate this situation."

"We were not notified about your involvement you may not enter."

"I have been given this assignment from princess Celestia and have been given access to the prince's room."

"Until that is proven you must send your request of access to prince Blueblood as he is leading this investigation."

"Fine." Twilight said leaving to see if she could find any other clues "Well Blueblood is involved in this, he and Eclipse always did have a rivalry maybe if I where to investigate his room I can learn more, but what I really need is to get in Eclipse's room their might be some magic residue on something of his." Twilight muttered to herself as she continued down the hall.

"What the buck do you mean you don't know?" Rainbow Dash yelled shaking Spike violently

"I told you Twilight's been asked to go to Canterlot and that's all she told me." Spike replied

"Rainbow Dash dear I think you can put him down now." Rarity said worried for the young dragon

"Fine." Rainbow Dash said dropping Spike onto the ground

"I hope everything is alright." Fluttershy said quietly

"I'm sure Twi's as fine as a rattlesnake in a warm haystack on a cold winters night." Applejack reassured the yellow pegasus

"Ooooh Maybe Twilight's helping to set up an after party for the prince's birthday party, I wonder what balloons they'll have maybe green no red or 'gasp' maybe pink what do you think?." Pinkie said looking out the window.

"Is she still talking to those invisible ponies?" Rainbow Dash asked facehoofing

"She says she's breaking the fourth wall whatever that is." Rarity replied "But on to more pressing matters Spike didn't you also say something about a mister... Leon was it?"

"Yeah Twilight says he looks a lot like prince Eclipse but instead of a white mane his is black Zecora's bringing him over sometime today." Spike replied before hearing a knock at the door "Well speak of the devil."

When Spike opened the door Zecora walked in greeting each of the ponies. "Um Zecora where's Leon?"Spike asked

"Do not fear young Spike for our guest is right here." Zecora replied tossing some purple dust into the air revealing a black haired man with cyan eyes wearing a standard military uniform. "No offense Zecora but that invisibility potion tasted like shit." Leon said

"It was better than getting confused for the prince was it not." Zecora replied

"Who is this prince your going on about all I've seen are talking zebras, ponies, unicorns and now pegesus' and dragons I mean what's next Gryphons and Minotaur's?" Leon asked

"Well two things dearie. First prince Eclipse as everypony knows was found by princess Celestia eighteen years ago and saved him from a gryphon who had killed his real parents, Celestia took pity on him and adopted him as her own son, he is also the only one of his kind until you of course." Rarity answered "Now the second and most important thing is what is Celestia's name are you wearing it looks absolutely ghastly once this meeting is done I want you to come with me to my boutique so I can sort out that blemish upon fashion."

"Well I gotta send a letter to Twilight about Leon getting here so that should give you plenty of time." Spike said

"Perfect." Rarity replied "Now you come with me so we can sort this out." and with that she pushed Leon out the door dragging him to her boutique. "Wait Ririty he needs to..." Zecora begun but was interrupted when Rarity closed the door behind them.

"Oh my Celestia it's the prince." a brown earth pony yelled as Leon and Rarity walked out of the library "And 'gasp' he's dating Rarity." and with that Leon and Rarity where quickly swarmed by Ponyville's many news reporters.

"Hello I'm Breaking-News from Ponyville News, this just in: Prince Eclipse Noviembre Lunablade dating Ponyville resident and famous fashion designer Rarity Margret Gemstone. Will Eclipse forever be Rarity's daimond in the rough or will this so called Daimond just be another giant rock?" a blue unicorn with a purple and green mane said while walking up to Leon. "Prince Eclipse all of Ponyville is begging to know how you and Rarity discovered your feelings for each other."

"What the fuck?" Leon asked clearly confused

"This is just a case of mistaken identity, this is not the prince and we are not dating." Rarity told the news pony

"This just in Rarity is still single and was NOT dating anypony but what of this creature that could be mistaken for prince Eclipse? Long lost brother? Clone or perhaps he is Eclipse's own father we'll be back tomorrow with an update." and with that Breaking-News gave the signal for the camera-pony to turn off the video camera. "Holy shit this Eclipse guy must be pretty damn popular to get this much attention." Leon said as Rarity used her magic to drag him by the belt

"Well if we play our cards right you'll get to meet him." Rarity replied as they finally got to the boutique and walking in.

"All right everypony got their equipment sorted?" Eclipse asked as he finished fastening the last strap of his armor

"Yes sir." Stone-Hoof, Moonshine and Hawk-Eye replied at the same time

"Ready when you are." Luna replied with a quick wink causing Eclipse to slightly blush before turning his attention back towards the mission. "Remember the plan is to get to Ponyville by midday no rest until then and keep alert." Eclipse ordered leading the group towards Ponyville.

"So Luna how was he last night?" Moonshine asked

"W-what?" Luna replied

"Eclipse was he a good kisser?" Moonshine answered

"I-I have no idea what your talking about." Luna denied

"Oh come on I saw that wink you gave him and his little blush it's obvious you like him."

"Well yes I like him he's Celestia's son."

"Oh I get it."

"Huh?"

"Your worried that you the two of you would be looked down upon because he's pretty much your nephew."

"Fine you caught me but is it really that obvious?"

"Do dragons have scales?"

"Of course they... Oh."

"Don't worry he's adopted remember so it's not like it's incest or anything."

"I guess your right, thanks Moonshine."

"Any time your highness."

"What was that Moonshine?" Eclipse asked

"I was talking to princess Luna your highness." Moonshine replied as Luna chuckled at Eclipse's sudden question before stopping when she realized Eclipse was kneeling on the ground. "Um Eclipse."

"This is bad." Eclipse muttered

"What is it Eclipse?" Luna asked

"Hydra tracks leading towards Ponyville... But why Hydra's never leave the swamps they're too much in the open for dragons anywhere else, something must have scared the manure out of it to make it leave." Eclipse replied examining the tracks

"Sir what should we do?" Stone-Hoof asked

"Were the royal guard Stone-Hoof we protect the citizens of Equestia." Eclipse answered "Hawk-Eye fly to Cloudsdale and gather the weather team to create a storm around Ponyville that should buy the rest of us some time to catch up to the hydra and and take it down."

"Yes sir." Hawk-Eye said with a salute before flying towards Ponyville.

"I just hope it isn't too late." Eclipse muttered as he and the group ran towards Ponyville.
