Alright now this is going to be a very exciting chapter for everyone. I'd explain but, I think it would be better to get to it. See you later!

Evacuation Center, Canterlot/Ponyville Thoroughfare

Several tents were set up along the road at this point along with a barricade littered with the bodies of the crazed humans that had attempted to gain passage. Apparently the evil magic that was driving the humans crazy was beginning to affect the ponies too as several of the ponies that the trio passed had become several varying shades of Grey and were willingly going along with whatever the crazed humans asked as long as they weren't killed and their loved one's spared. Strangely enough this was the main cause of the Evacuation's success. The Royal guard counted any pony in one of those colorless states as a casualty and moved on. The main key between a normal grey coated pony and the crazed was the fact that a crazed ponies eyes revered colors causing there irises and white sections of their eyes to flip colors.

"Damn... this is a lot to take in." Honor Guard said as he just finished beating another crazed pair senseless. "There seems to be more of these human - pony combos now." He said as they finally pasted the barricade. The trio gave a sigh of relief until HG was tackled to the ground by several of the royal guards. (Calling Honor Guard that for a while to save space.)

"Leave him alone he's normal!" Lyra shouted at the guards to which Dark stepped up to them and testified to their case. This caused the guards to move off of HG and even help him up. "Sorry Honor..." Lyra said with a sad look on her face as they walked further into the camp now being led by the guards as Dark wandered off to search for more sane humans.

They arrived at a rather large tent which had the Equestrian Royal crest emblazoned on it's front. "Miss Heartstrings and the Human Knight are here to see you My ladies." The larger Guard said as he motioned for the two to enter. As soon as they did Lyra gasped and bowed causing HG to take a knee and bow his head in a professional manner. Earning a giggle from the younger of their hosts. The Celestial Sisters.

"No need for formalities miss Heartstrings and guest." Celestia said with a smile. This caused the two survivors to stand up. As they did so Luna walked up to HG and pressed her Horn against his head. She stepped backwards with a grin a moment later. "I see you can't remember your true name and have taken a title. But, sadly a title without a name is lacking wouldn't you agree miss Heartstrings?" Luna shot Lyra a cheery glance to which the mint colored unicorn could only nod.

Luna looked to Celestia who gave an approving nod. Luna's horn glowed and Honor's sword was pulled from it's sheathe and given a complete overhaul. "Take this as an act of friendship good Paladin this is a sacred sword forged from moonstone and crafted over 1,000 years ago. It is infused with powerful light magic that can banish evil from any heart." She said as she motioned for HG to take a knee which he did gratefully.

"Then we dub thee Honor Guard the first human Paladin to grace Equestria." She said with a smile as she handed the sword back to him which he took and sheathed gracefully. "Would you like to give your sword a name? It would be easier to keep a record of it's heroic exploits in both your hands and those that follow you if you do." She said with a smile.

He stood there for a moment and was about to answer when another explosion shook the camp. Dark appeared in the shadows and whispered to Celestia. "That's not good. I'm sorry Luna but, you'll have to get his answer later it appears we are under attack." She said which caused Honor to grip the handle of his sword and ready his shield as he charged from the tent.

Evac Center, Outskirts

Three unicorns were holding the barricade against the horde of attackers. Sadly they seemed unable to do so for much longer until. "Divine Ray!" A blast of light shot out from within the camp and it's caster sped up to the Barricade the Moonstone blade shining in the light of the setting sun. Honor ran behind the barricade where he would add several of his light blast spell to their efforts. The unicorns were able to take a break as Honor managed to knock out the last of the attackers.

The unicorns were a rag tag group of varying sizes. The most noticeable of the trio was Twilight Sparkle. She had refused to head towards Ponyville until she was sure that nopony else needed saving Dark had returned to relieve them when the assault happened.

Twilight made her way to Honor and began the introductions. "Hello sir. My name is Twilight Sparkle, thank you for helping us." She said with a smile. The smaller male walked over to Honor and extended his hoof for a hoofshake. Which Honor accepted. "Hey there guy, my name is Blaze Spark. The guy over there is Blueblaze." The larger male nodded before taking a drink from a really large bottle. "Yeah... he has an issue with the bottle if you catch my drift." The larger stallion chuckled and hiccuped. "I don't have a problem with them they hold stuff dude." He said before laughing again. This made Twilight facehoof.

"Well my name is Honor Guard. Don't really know my real name so that will do for now." He said as he bowed. Suddenly the trees around the four turned black and the ground did as well. A large coffin appeared from the ground and from it's confines came a human shape wearing a hooded jacket. There was a large stab wound in the figures chest and it's mouth was bloody. It was Dan the human Honor accidentally killed.

"Rise my undead brethren and take the innocent ones." The zombie said as several more coffins appeared from out of nowhere each containing a large assortment of pony bones. That emptied out into a small army of Skeletons. "Shit..." Was all Honor could say before jumping the barricade and using a light barrier that covered the entire camp. "Hey Honor! Let go of the shield I'll hold it up!" Twilight said as she took the reigns of the spell so Honor could focus on the fight the two stallions standing at either side of him. "Oh... this should be. *hic* Fun." Blue said with a drunken tone. "Don't get cocky buddy there's a lot of them." Blaze said which caused the three to nod and charge the enemy.

While Blaze and Blue took on the skeleton army Honor stood against Dan. "You... you are the reason we cannot find rest..." He said as he charged Honor who blocked his strike with his shield and slashed him. As he did so one of the trees changed back to normal. "So the tree's are some kind of health bar?" Honor said as he looked at the 19 remaining black trees. The ground was returning to it's normal color with every skeleton vanquished as well. "Damn... this world even puts video games to shame. All right then Dan. I'm sorry it had to come to this but, Prepare for your final rest!"

"Did... *hic* Did he just taunt the Boss Undead thing?" Blue said to Blaze having a moment of Drunken clarity. "Yes... yes he did." Blaze said facehoofing for a second before firing another attack spell at the skeleton army, clearing another large chunk of them. "Nice. *Hic* Needs more icicles though." Blue said as he froze several Skeletons and launching them at there allies as frozen projectiles.

Area 51 Military Compound, Earth

The tape fades to static and ejects itself from the player it's tape completely spent. "Place in the next tape Private." The general said to which the solider saluted and did as instructed. "Don't play it yet... I need to get some coffee. You should to." The general said as he powered down the Television and left the room the Private following him.

Yes I am ending this chapter before the boss fight. The reason? Because I haven't figured out how to write the boss fight in ab unbiased manner well that and it needs epic music and I couldn't find it yet. So that chapter will be next. Twilight Sparkle here with the shout outs. Seeing as Cammy is having issues with the boss fight he decided to have me do this. *Twilight pulls out a small list of names.* Okay the guest characters added today are... Blueblaze who is property of Bladeswipe101. Next up is Blaze Spark who belongs to... Blaze Spark? Really? Oh well here's the picture. Also a shout out goes to the internet for this lovely picture of Honor's new Moonstone sword. And thanks to everypony out there for reading... What? Oh! I mean Everybody...
