Introduction

A month after Twilight Sparkle's coronation

"I'm tellin' you Flare, if we keep this up we'll never be able to achieve our goal" stated a grey pegasus with a black mane "You'd think that we'd eventually reach the border by now..", another pegasus turned around to face the other pegasus.

"Will you shut up already? I've had enough of your whining, ever since we left for the border all I can hear is 'Are we there yet?' 'I'm thirsty' and 'Did you bring any food?' it's unbelievable how my ears are not bleeding from your moaning.".The grey pegasus backed down after hearing his leaders rant.

"Sorry, it's just that we've put so much hope into this, and we all want to see Equestria go to war, especially after the Purple Maniac rose to power.." the grey pegasus said "I know that we have a lot resting on this Clove, but if we don't pick up the pace and get to the border then we'll never see the day where Equestria is no longer in a screwed up hierarchy". The grey pegasus, named Clove,perked up and opened his mouth to say something, only to be silenced by his leader, Flare. "You hear that Clove?" the steady flapping of wings could be heard in the distance, Clove decided to speak up, "Think that's the cavalry,Flare?"after a few seconds of silence Flare answered his question "It is..".

Princesses Celestia and Luna both sat on their thrones, waiting for some random pony to run into their throne room and exclaim "Your majesties! Something has gone terribly wrong!" only for it to be right once the Princesses arrive. "Will we ever get a break dear Tia?" Luna questioned "We are getting tired of this boredom..", Celestia was about to reply when a unicorn burst through the doors, this unicorn was none other than Blueblood "Auntie!" he exclaimed "Shining Armour and Princess Cadence have arrived!". Celestia's ear twitched when she heard this, "Excellent, tell them we shall meet them at once". Blueblood ran back through the doors to inform the leaders of the Crystal Empire that they could converse with Celestia. "At least we have company now".

Griffin Kingdom Border

"Ah, here is our team" Flare said as a squad of pegasi landed in front of him "You all know what you're here for right?", the squad members nodded and looked at him, a white pegasus with a royal blue mane stepped forward. "Lightning Strike at your service" the pegasus spoke "What are our orders?" Flare trotted over to him "You are to infiltrate the Griffin Kingdom and do as much damage as you can while keeping your squads casualties as low as possible, understood?" Lightning Strike saluted as he strode back to his squad "You have your orders! move into an echelon right formation and await further instructions!" he barked. Each pegasus started to hover as they formed a diagonal column ending at the right with Lightning Strike as the pegasus at the front end.

"A question sir, how will we do damage without weapons?" he asked. Flare stood up and motioned to Clove to follow him. In Clove's mouth, there was a bag with a bunch of spears,slings,crossbows and rocks inside.

"You have your weapons, take your pick and go as soon as you choose one" Flare said. Lightning Strike picked up a spear while his squad mainly picked the slings. "Do we have the all clear?" Lightning Strike questioned.

"Yes, but before you go" Flare picked up a Royal Guard badge and gave it to him "Wear this, in case one of your comrades gets killed, the Griffins have someone to blame, and will think the princesses ordered an attack on them" Flare explained. "Smart, nice scapegoat" Lightning Strike complimented "but now is not the time for romance now is the time for action!" "Then go!" Flare shouted. In an instant the pegasi took off and flew to the Griffin Kingdom, eager to start Equestria's next war.

"..So I tell them 'don't you snobby-flank nobles have something better to do?' and he started wetting himself!" Shining Armour jokes while Cadence looks amused, Blueblood gives Shining a disapproving look while both Celestia and Luna mind their own business
"So how goes everything Auntie? are we not in peace talks with the griffins?" Blueblood asks, "We are, but the tension between their kingdom and ours seems to be rising after the Griffin-Equine bridge incident, I do hope that the griffin who got their tail ripped off when they fell is okay.."

Blueblood shot his aunt a confused look "Why should we care about those pigeons anyway? all of them are warmongers and long for blood at their claws".Luna shook her head at Blueblood's comment "You shouldn't judge someone on their lifestyle and habits nephew, remember the incident between you and Generosity?"

Blueblood looked away from his aunts "That cretin does not deserve to hold that title, somehow the gods felt sad for her pathetic life and gave it to her!". Luna dropped the glass of water she was holding in her magic aura while both Cadence and Shining look at Blueblood with their jaws on the floor "How foolish of you my dear Blueblood, the honour was not thrust upon her because of her life, but it was bestowed upon her when she fought Nightmare Moon" Blueblood huffed and walked away from the group.
