The Plague Of Equestria
Blast from the Past
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter the failed suicidal attack at Stallionfields, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna was brought back to Canterlot, in despair.
Princess Luna was sitting on the right of her elder sister, as she turned to see her sigh in depression.
"Rivera was right, we shouldn't have attacked." Celestia said immediately to her self with tears in her eyes, after witnessing the Orbital attack on all of her ponies who attempted to remove the R.F.F.S.7. from Equestria.
She felt a nudge on her shoulder as she turned to see her younger sister Luna. "They died protecting our home, you should be proud of them." Luna said trying as hard, as she possibly can to comfort her sister.
Princess Celestia didn't say anything at first, but did manage to intend on wrapping her hooves around Luna hugging her, causing her to smile. All of a sudden Shining armor arrived into the throne room.
"Any news on the Lunar Empire?" Shining Armor, sighed in sadness, "All of the legions on the field, both night, and day alike, never made it back to Canterlot. They wiped them out, all of them." Shinning Armor answered with a large hint of despair in his voice.
Celestia couldn't help but gasp from Shining Armor's report, she felt as if a hard sharp dagger had been serverly jammed into her chest.
"This can't be. How can the power of Magic be losing against these Invaders?" Celestia spoke to herself while placing a Hoof on her face.
"At least the Ponies that aren't Warriors are safe in their homes." She added on while taking a deep breath.
"About that Princess." Shining Armor started off drawing both Luna's and Celestia's attention towards him, as he continued on what he was going to say.
"We saw Rivera, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, and Spike participating in the fight.At least that's what my soldiers reported. I just saw them depart, before I did."
Celestia's Eyes flew wide open along with Luna's. "What?! why would you let the fight, they were supposed to be safe in Ponyville!" Luna yelled causing Shining Armor to back away.
"How did they get onto the fields?!" Celestia asked with a very concerned voice.
"They managed to make their way into our forward divisions on the field before we charged." Luna jumped to Shining Armor and pointed her hoof at his knows.
"Well why didn't you ordered them out?!" Shining Armor back away even farther, but was being backed by a very angry Night Princess.
"Well!" Luna ordered, backing Shining Armor into a wall. "Well It wasn't my fault, we didn't find out until it was over." Shining Armor stated in his defenses, only causing a glare from Luna.
Without anything else to say Luna left the throne talking symortainly to herself "I told Him to stay here!" she snapped while leaping into the air and flying towards Ponyville in the distance, with Celestia and Shining Armor watch in shock.
"I have never seen Princess Luna that angry before. Yes they went up against your orders, but why is she the one getting angry?" He asked in concern, but received no response from Celestia, who continued to watch her sister disappear into the distance.
Meanwhile back in Ponyville Rivera, arrived at the hospital and went to check up on Rainbow Dash, who apparently was looking very happy to see him.
"Hows your wing?" He asked sitting down to the left of her bed. "It's getting better, in 2-3 more days I should be flying again, but boy that shot really hurt." She answered while feeling her wounded wing.
"I know, Laser's are not to be messed with, one little pinch, and your dead." Rivera said proving a large and very valid point to her, while Dashie giggled.
"Hey do you think anyone noticed we were there?" Rainbow Dash asked in concern, causing Rivera, to worry a bit. "Well I sure hope not, If we were caught we'd have to suffer the wrath of the Princess." Rivera teased laughing historically.
"Well hopefully your right." Dashie replied while she laid back down on the bed. Rivera did some thinking while Dashie was not paying any attention, "I hope no one found out other wise Luna will to not only be known as the just the Princess of the Night, she's going to be known as Princess of the Angry Temper Tantrum,"
"You say something?" Dashie asked hearing Rivera, talking to himself. "Nothing Dash, you rest up, I'm going to go and walk around for a little bit." Rivera stated getting up and leaving the room.
"Um Okay." Rainbow Dash added, while placing a hoof on her mouth in worry, and confusion.
Spike was shown walking through the streets of PonyVille, and was shown to have a large basket of Pinkie Pie's cookies, he was on the way back to Twilight's Library.
"Glad Pinkie Pie didn't ever find out about us at Stallionfield, otherwise we'd be in a lot of trouble, with the Princess." Spike told himself in a very silent way hopping that the other ponies couldn't hear him.
He is than stopped by a Stallion Black Unicorn. "Spike man are the rumors true?" Israel asked looking very concerned. Spike was confused at first and had no idea what he was talking about. "Rumors? What rumors" he asked, hopping that he would be more specific.
"The rumor of you, my friend Rivera, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash, fighting during the Charge at Stallionfields?" Israel added being as specific as he can get.
Spike gasped, and dropped the cookies to the ground. "It is true," Israel gasped. "What gave it away?" Spike gasped. "You 4 were seen leaving the field by Shining Armor." Israel answered pointing his hoof at the baby dragon's stomach.
"Oh this is Bad." Spike gasped grabbing the cookies from the ground, and racing as quickly as he can back to Twilight's Library hopping no other pony new the truth, on what happened in the fields of Stallion.
Spike raced through the streets and passed Rivera, getting his attention."Hold It!" Rivera called out grabbing him by the tail lifting him upside down. "What;s the big rush?" Spike began to tell Rivera the same exact words that Israel told him causing Rivera's eyes to twitch. "I'm hopping that no one else knows about this." Spike gasped as Rivera was about to speak, he ends up getting was hit in the back of the head by a dark blue wing.
Rivera growled. "I ought a-" his anger expression dropped to fear, when he saw Princess Luna. "You Outta what?!" She snapped with a deadly glare. "Be a little more careful." Rivera said laughing historically. "Princess Luna what are you doing here?" Spike asked in confusion who was still hanging Upside down.
"My duty as Princess, which it looks like you can't even do. Didn't I tell you not to leave Ponyville?!" Luna snapped causing Rivera to laugh historically again. "Oooh not good," Spike gasped. "I gave you one easy thing to do, and you can't even do that right!" Luna added on, pointing a hoof at Rivera's nose getting him nervous with his eyes following it to the left and right.
"Come on Princess Luna give him a break, he was only trying to help." Spike said in Rivera's defense, before Rivera even had the chance to say anything.
Luna looked at Spike and softly grabbed him from Rivera's grasp and said "Spike I have every reason to be angry. Look at you, your a baby dragon, you shouldn't have been apart of that attack You could have been killed." Luna said in a softer voice towards Spike, but Spike responded in his defense. "But we're only trying to help." "Yeah, We figured if we couldn't stop Celestia's charge, we could at least try and provide assistance." Rivera added on after Spike finished his sentence.
Luna just covered Spike's face into her chest and smacked Rivera. "Ouch." he snapped, while shaking his head back into place. "Defy my orders again, and you'll end up like the ponies who died in the region." She whispered, and released Spike softly on the ground, before flying off.
Spike got up and rubbed his head. "Wow I've never seen Princess Luna so angry before." "Kid you don't know the half of it." Rivera stated as he began to walk away, in the direction of Twilight's library.
The 2 returned to see Twilight looking very saddened' "Let me guess you got an earful from the princess?" Spike said in his own personal opinion. "Yeah, she was very disappointment, that we disobeyed her." She than turned her head to look at Rivera and Spike in the door way.
"You guys are lucky you weren't here an hour ago." she said with a smile. Rivera and Spike, looked at each other than back at her. "You have no idea Twilight." they both said at the same time.
