Rookie

Lightning Blitzstar is new recruit in the Canterlot Royal Guard! Not just for any guard, she was entrusted for protecting the princesses and the capital! This was the best day of her life. And today she would start. After checking in, she made her way to the barrack to where the other guards are. She was trotting to get fitted for her armor. It would be a rough life in the beginning but she was living her dream. It was finally accomplished! All the training really did pay off. She arrived at the barracks and was taken over to the measurement station for her suit of armor. Most of the armor she found was much bigger then her, all made for stallion guards. She saw she was being eyed by the other guards in the barracks because she was a mare. Have they not seen one before? Well... they were all stallions.

Lightning saluted. “Lightning Blitzstar reporting for duty sir!” The other guards nodded. Finally, some respect.

The guard captain walked up to the rookie. “Welcome recruit, I hope you will obey our code of honor.” She was fully armored for her first day on the job. Golden armor encrusted her hooves, shoulders, and helmet. In other words, she was a fighter and ready to serve. She trotted over to the captain for her first assignment. The captain told her that she was supposed to go see the princesses for her first assignment. Since she was a rookie, Lightning couldn't be a true guard yet so she was an errand mare. Most of the errands would be coming from Princess Celestia and Luna so they can become closer to their protectors. She quickly trotted over to the throne room and bowed down before Celestia.

Lightning admired the beautiful white alicorn in front of her. “Princess I am here for my first assignment!”

Celestia kindly said to her, “Guard, please come closer so I can get a better look at you, my new stallion guard. You look so handsome.” Lightning's face blushed.

“Your majesty, I am actually a mare not a stallion. Sorry for the inconvenience.” Lightning said sheepishly. Was this the way to talk to royalty?

Celestia took a better look at the new guard and apologized for the misunderstanding. Okay, one part of the problem was solved.

The alicorn asked her to meet her at the royal library in two hours. Was it bad? Lightning felt a nervous twinge in her stomach feeling that she upset the princess. I hope I don't get banished. Especially on my first day.

The captain was outside with a couple of scrolls in his magic. "Here are some more errands that you have to do." Oh boy.

Two hours later she arrived at the library, hoping that she was not in trouble. The anxiety was clawing at her the whole time. She nervously entered the chamber and saw the princess in there waiting for her. A warm smile greeted Lightning as she breathed a sigh of relief. She trotted over to the table where Celestia was reading a ancient book. If only the grey pegasus had a horn.

Lightning waited outside the door. “You wanted to see me princess?” She blew a piece of her blue mane out of her face.

Celestia chuckled. “Come here and sit with me.” She patted the velvet pillow right next to her. How special. Lightning was never close to royal. But the princess!?

Lightning did as she was told. “Princess, what do you want to talk to me about?”

“Lightning dear, please have no fear. I do not have any bad to say. I am actually surprise that you actually said you were a mare. It was a surprise to Luna as well.” Celestia answered.

Lightning asked, “Why are you surprised to have a mare in your guard? There are more mares in Equestria than stallions.”

“I have not had a mare in my guard in the last hundred years. I am surprised that a new recruit would be a mare. Honestly, I was relieved when you joined”, replied Celestia

Lightning asked, “Surprised? How?" Was Celestia being sexist?

Celestia said, “I am proud to have a mare on the inside of my guards. Mares are not typically built for fighting. How about being a spy? If you will be my spy, I will make you third in command in the guard. Easy peasy. I heard there was some trouble going around in these walls.”

Lightning agreed and she was promoted to a new rank on the first day. This was awesome! She was told to keep an open ear for plots in the guards, both the day and night ones. Celestia said that Luna's guards were not happy, and wanted to bring back Nightmare Moon. If she got word she would run straight to Celestia or Luna. The mare was so excited for her new position in the guard. She ran back to the barracks to show her medal of rank improvement to the other guards. They were so jealous and wanted to be in that position. Most of them worked years, barely having any importance. Today was perfect.

Third-in-Command

was normal, and she was happy. It would be a matter of time until she was captain. That would be the best thing ever! She was keeping an eye on the guards (both Luna's and Celestia's) for her bosses. All of a sudden, she heard one of Luna’s guards talking about something big. REALLY big. She hid behind a wall when she heard two bat ponies whisper to each other.

A bat pony named Nightshade spoke. “Are you ready for the revolt here in a few days?” A revolt? What for? Was it for the terrible food the cafeteria serves? If it is, the grey mare would gladly join.

“That Princess Luna will never see it coming!” Another pony named Locus replied.

Nightshade said, “Glad nopony knows we are of the Cult of Nightmare Moon. Everypony thinks that we died out a long time ago. No... we are still kicking today."

Locus said, “We shall have our Goddess Nightmare Moon back! The night will last forever!" Both guards laughed as Lightning thought to herself. Why would the guards be talking about this right in the open? The castle walls aren't exactly the thickest. Oh well... bat ponies weren't the smartest anyway.

Nightshade peeked over his shoulder to check if any pony was sneaking up to him. No pony was there... except Lightning who was hiding. “Good. I hate wearing this heavy outfit. I miss my Shadowbolt uniform. Sleek, fast, amazing. Our armor is really uncomfortable."

There was no time to loose! The princesses could be in trouble! Lightning quickly ran to Princess Luna. She told her everything she had heard, about the guards, the cult, the Shadowbolts, everything! Luna told her to go get her sister on the double and keep quiet about this. The blue alicorn didn't want to cause panic. Quickly as she could, Lightning did as she was told. She ran to the throne room to where Celestia was signing some sheets. Doesn't she ever take a break? It must be exhausting being a ruler.

Lightning bowed at the Princess's hooves. “Princess, your sister needs help! This is really important! The fate of Equestria depends on it!”

“What is the problem? Why does my sister need me?”

“It is a matter between you and Luna. You must hurry. I'll help escort you.”

"Let's go."

Celestia got down off her throne and they both galloped over to her sister’s room. Lightning trailed behind Celestia, keeping a keen eye on any bat ponies sneaking around. Pushing open the grand door, they sat down inside exhausted. There was little time to chat, Celestia had to get back to her duties. But helping her sister was more important. Celestia and Lightning called out.

Celestia greeted Luna in a bear hug. "I'm so glad you are safe Luna."

"What is the matter dear sister?"

The white alicorn flicked off a piece of dirt that collected on her shoulder during the run. “Lightning told me about how your guards are going to revolt against you."

Luna dropped her jaw in horror. “What was the revolt for?”

"The guards want to turn you back into Nightmare Moon. We can't let that happen."

"Oh, that cult again. I thought you destroyed them. I think they are called the Shadowbolts."

“Come again?” Celestia and Lightning asked. How could they be back?

“The shadowbolts are an aerial stunt team and cult devoted to me, sort of. They wanted to overthrow you to being Nightmare Moon back. I never wanted it, so they did it by force. Now that the spell has left me, the Shadowbolts want me back to my original power.” Said Luna.

Celestia shook her head. “I can't believe I forgot about them. It's been so long. I'd hate to see you turn back into that horrible mare.”

Luna and Celestia gently put their horns on both of Lightning's shoulders. “Thank you for telling us about this. I am promoting you to second in command as your reward.” Celestia winked. "You will be my guard still, right?"

“Yes, and I always will. Thank you your majesties; it's been an honor.” Lightning straitened up when the princesses gave her a salute.

"No, thank you."

As Lightning blushed, the three came together. "First," Luna began. "We need to find a way to capture the guards." The plan consisted off finding out how many member of the cult were actually there. With Lightning's ears, that wouldn't be a problem.

"I have even a better idea." Celestia suggested. "How about you turn into Nightmare Moon at midnight? It's the perfect atmosphere. The guards will think that they won and night will be eternal again. I'll deal with my solar guards attacking you. You can change back to normal when I arrest your guards and charge them for treason." With this, there wouldn't be any more cult members for a long, long time.

"Great idea!" Lightning replied. "This plan will not go wrong! Is it settled?" All three nodded. "Then let's do this!" The three rushed off, giddy for what was about to happen.

Author's Note

Nightshade is a former member of the Wonderbolts and Spitfire's older sister. She left after her dad the former captain made spitfire captain. She formed the Shadowbolts out of the criminal pegasus devoted to the cult of Nightmare Moon.

Second-in-Command

It was the night of the Luna plan to go into effect. Lightning was talking to Celestia about how her day has been. All of a sudden the doors swung open and Nightmare Moon was in the door. Luna’s plan was working.

Luna said, Celestia, “I shall no long stand in your shadow anymore!”

Nightshade said, “We are happy to have our goddess back!”

Celestia said, “Luna why don’t you tell these ponies what is really going on?”

Luna said, “My dear shadowbolt followers I have tricked you.”

Luna transformed into her normal self. Celestia called for the royal guards to come and arrest the shadowbolts.

The Shadowbolts asked, “How did you find out about our plot?”

Celestia said, “Lightning Blitzstar reported two of you talking about the Plot.”

They asked, “Your worship why did you betray your own cult?”

Luna said, “I was abandoned by the nightmare when I was trapped on the moon. I decided then that if I am ever freed I would never become that terror again.”

Luna walked over to Lightning Blitzstar and thanked her for a job well done. She had a reward for the pegasus.

Luna said, “Lightning come to my chambers after your shift is over.”

Lightning said, “Yes your majesty.”

Two hours later Lightning was going to Luna’s chambers just as her shift had ended. She trotted to the door and knocked on it twice. She went inside to see what Luna wanted.

Lightning asked, “What do you need princess?”

Luna answered, “I have a unique reward for you Lightning.”

Lightning asked, “what is the reward?’

Luna answered, “How would you like to have a little fun.” ‘’Wink’’ ‘’wink’

Lightning gasped and said, “I not sure princess.”

Luna said, “You deserve it since you helped save the day.”

Luna took her over to her bed and laid down. Luna was beautiful in the morning sun shining through the cracks in the curtains. Lightning noticed Luna was using her magic to take off her armor. Luna gasped when she saw how beautiful Lightning was under her armor.

Lightning asked, “How are we going to start?”

Luna smugly said, “You will pleasure me first.”

Lightning gulped and said, “Okay.”

Lightning placed her muzzle at Luna’s cunt. She started to lick Luna’s soft pliable lips. Luna gasped at the pleasure she was receiving.

Luna said, “Go f-faster Lightning.”

Lightning did as she was told. She noticed a light blue light coming from Luna’s horn.

Lightning asked, “What are you doing princess?”

Luna answered, “Getting something from my toy chest in my closet”

Lightning asked, “What kind of toy”

Luna said, “You will see when you are done down there.”

Lightning started to suck on Luna’s clit eliciting a series of moans from Luna. Lightning stuck her tongue inside Luna’s pussy. All of a sudden Luna’s inner walls clamped down on her tongue. Luna sudden came and covered Lightning’s face. She gave the fluid that had pooled on her palette a taste, and gave a quiet yet still audible gulp. Luna notice that Lightning was panting.

Lightning said, “I am done princess.”

Luna said, “Now time for me to pleasure you.”

Luna strapped the toy on and turned to Lightning. Luna showed Lightning the toy she had on. Lightning felt her wings grow rigid as she saw Luna come over to her. Lightning sat with her flank in the air waiting for Luna. Luna mounted the guard and looked down at her.

Luna asked, “Are you ready?”

Lightning answered, “Of course I am.”

Luna began to thrust in and out of Lightning’s pussy. Lightning moaned as she felt Luna thrust in and out of her pussy. Lightning moaned as she felt her climax fast approaching.

Lightning said, “Luna I am close.

Luna replied, “I am close as well, hang in there and we can finish together.”

Lightning said, “I am cumming. NOW”

All of a sudden Lightning came. Luna felt herself cumming as well. She came and the cum shot down through the toy and into Lightning’s pussy. When the two finally stopped they gave each other a big kiss. Luna had something to say to Lightning.

Luna said, “Lightning I promote you to captain of the guard.”
Lightning said, “Thank you Luna. I also wanted to thank you for what we just did.
Luna answered, “Your welcome now head back to the barracks and get cleaned up.”

Lightning trotted back to the barracks as fast as she could. She told the others she was promoted again. They congratulated her on her promotion. Lightning stepped into the captain’s room and got her shower and decided to rest after her exhausting day.
