The Brony war chronicles

I'm not going to hold you up much here besides to give a shout out to my friends on Tumblr who have graciously let me use their Original Characters. Said Characters will appear at times that make sense. So for anyone watching the character involved in the chapter is Dark Shadow a member of the secret Royal Task Force. Here's a pic...
Without further ado let's delve deeper into the rabbit hole.

Abandoned Home, Canterlot

Lyra was exhausted after tending to the young man she rescued. She had managed to stop the bleeding and fix the wounds but, he would most likely have severe amnesia. She began crying as she realized the reasons humans were kept secret from pony-kind. It wasn't because the rulers wanted to, it was because they had to. Humans were far too unpredictable to allow into Equestria and Lyra now knew that. Sadly she didn't have long to grieve her lost dream as the door to the house they sought refuge in was destroyed by more crazed humans.

Throne Room, Canterlot Castle

Their eyes were soulless and glazed over like the devil himself guided their actions. The sound of ponies screaming in terror could be heard all over Canterlot as Princess Celestia did something she thought she would never have to do again. Declare war on another sentient species. She called forth a member of the SRTF (Secret royal task force) By the name of Dark Shadow and gave him his orders. "You are to seek out and rescue any of the humans who have remained sane and ask if they would ally themselves under our banner. While doing so please rescue any of Our little ponies that you can. I'm counting on you." The Princess said as Dark Shadow gave a salute and vanished into the shadows. "Be careful my little ponies. I only hope there is a chance to save us all." She said as she hung her head.

Abandoned Home, Canterlot

The crazed humans had discovered Lyra and her fallen comrade and began to move in. Lyra was crying heavily as she said "Not like this... please, not like this." Strangely her pleas were answered as the human beside her snapped his eyes open and jumped to his feet knocking a crazed human away from Lyra in the process.

"I would love to ask some questions but, I believe we have some rather unruly guests." The human spoke as his right hand glowed. "Now with the sun above as my witness I swear on my honer I will not let you pass!" The glow on his hand spread and covered his body summoning a modified version of the Royal Guard armor complete with sword and shield. The display of magic shocked The humans and even caused Lyra to gasp.

"How dare you stand in the way of our dreams?! I thought you were a human like us?!" The crazed human that clubbed the youth before, Dan moved to the head of the pack wielding the same lumber club he hit the now magically armored youth with before. "If you won't move... we'll make you." He said as several of the crazed humans charged the youth and Lyra.

"Oh no you don't! Sacred Barricade!" The youth shouted and a massive barrier appeared around himself and Lyra shocking the attacking humans on contact with the shield. "Divine Ray!" He said as a beam of light shot from the sword and struck another rendering him unconscious. He took up a combat stance as he removed his part of the shield causing in to double in strength around Lyra. "I swear miss, I will protect you." He said with a nod as the rest of the mob charged him.

Alleyway, Canterlot

The sounds of terrified Ponies and crazed humans were everywhere and every so often there would be signs of humans combating their crazed former comrades. Sadly the sane humans were being easily defeated by the strange new strength the crazed humans now possessed. As Dark Shadow made his way down the alleyway leading to the main thoroughfare the sounds of a fight reached his ears but, the sounds of magic were present. The fact that all of the unicorns even all the other had been rescued and evacuated with the aid of the sane humans providing distractions save for a miss Lyra Heartstrings caused the shaded stallion to enter the fray in an attempt to rescue her. What he didn't expect was that she was already quite safe as one of the sane humans had began to fight with one of Equestria's most valuable weapons, magic.

"Divine blow!" The young man shouted as he felled the last of the mob. None of them were dead only severely wounded and unconscious. The leader of the mob Dan, however was not so lucky. He fell to the Youth's blade in the manner only fitting to the crime he attempted to commit. Sadly the youth never meant to kill him. He was stabbed through the heart when he rushed the youth who had been crying from then on at the fact he had taken a life. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." The youth said as he closed the fallen human's eyes respectfully.

"Young man!" Dark Shadow called out to the youth. "Would you happen to know the whereabouts of a miss Heartstrings? She is the only pony that has yet to be evacuated to a safe area by the royal army." The shaded stallion said as he appeared from the shadows near the door. To which the youth only nodded as he sheathed his blade. Lyra ran into Dark crying heavily at the fact that she was rescued. Not because she was sad but, because she was happy to finally be safe for the moment.

"There there, now miss Heartstrings we will get you out of here as quickly as possible. You have my word." The shaded stallion said as he turned to the human. "You lad, what's your name and how can you preform magic?" He asked to which the human simply shrugged. "I'm sorry sir, but I can't recall my name and the whole magic thing is as much a mystery to me." He said as he walked up to Lyra and gave her a bow before walking out of the Abandoned Home.

"W-wait! Please don't go." Lyra said as she chased him down Dark following her to defend her. "If you can't remember your name would you like me to give you one till you can?" She said with a smile to which the youth simply nodded. "Okay... since you said something about swearing on your honor to defend me... How about Honor Guard?" She said with her smile increasing. To which the youth grinned.

"Honor Guard... I like it. Don't worry miss Heartstrings you can count on me." He said as he bent onto his knee and bowed much like the knights of old.

"Please... call me Lyra." She said with a smile as the three made there way towards the evacuation area.

Throne Room, Canterlot Castle

"Sister..." The Princess of the Moon, Luna stood behind her elder sibling both watching the display of the human's new name unfold from a nearby roof top. "I know Luna, he's going to have a lot on his plate from now on. I only hope more of the kind humans can find the powers within themselves like he did. Maybe then we will actually stand a chance." She looked towards the group of three with a sad expression. "Good luck, young Paladin." Celestia said as the siblings flew off to the Evacuation zone.

Alright, that's another chapter down. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and another shout out to my Friend Dark Shadow for allowing me to use his character. I hope you'll keep on reading as I keep on writing so until next time. May Celestia's light shine down upon you.
