F.A.T.E

Chapter 12: True Intentions

GOVERNMENT HQ

Night Shadow and Black Haze were in the war room talking about the game. Night Shadow was planning it and Black Haze wrote down what he needed.

"Alright so what do you need for this.... Game of yours?" Black asked.

Night Shadow smiled, "Just one thing my friend. An army of Alicorns."

Black Haze raised eyebrow, "An army of Alicorns?"

Night Shadow nodded, "Yes that is all I need Black Haze."

Night Shadow gets up from his chair and headed to the elevator. Inside he presses the button to go to the 9th floor.

9th floor- Cell Room

As Night Shadow walked out of the elevator into the bright room. He walked over to the cell at the end of the room that held Luna inside. He smiled as he saw her dried tears on her cheek as she was sleeping silently.

"Oh, how sad." he whispered, "Well my decedent sister of mine. I'm in the process of starting my little game very soon. A little game that I like to call... War."

CLAYTON'S HOUSE

Everyone was up and in the den watching TV, mostly just cartoons, to pass the time. Some of them were eager to go look for Luna again. Dillon was the last person to wake up and he ran downstairs to tell them the news, but almost tripped coming down.

Everyone looked at him until Fluttershy broke the silence, "Dillon are you alright?"

He looked at her and nodded, "Yeah I'm fine, but I have something to show you all."

He pulled out of his pocket a small scroll and laid it on the coffee table in front of everyone. Twilight lifted the letter up with her magic and gasped.

"Th-this is a letter from princess Celestia!"

Max looked at her, "You sure?"

"Yes I am. Here let me read what it says."

She read the letter:

Dear Twilight,

I have come to inform you that I have found out the person that might have taken my sister Luna. I would like to bring you, your friends, and your human companions to Equestria so that we may discus this matter in private more.

Sincerely,

Princess Celestia

Everyone in the room was silent until Dillon cheered, "Woo Hoo! We're going to Equestria! This is so awesome!"

Twilight looked at everyone who were all smiling and she couldn't help it but smiled as well. Hearing that the Princess wanted to see her about the important matter, but also letting her bring Max and his friends with them into there world.

As soon as everyone were smiling and cheering about the news. The letter started to glow and made everyone stop in their excitement. They all saw the letter as it flew over there heads. It formed into a white spiral portal and the portal levitated everyone in the den and sucked them into the portal.

EQUESTRIA - CANTERLOT CASTLE

As soon as the wormhole opened; the main twelve fell out of the portal and onto the ground. They all got up to there feet and hooves to dust themselves off. Corey and Max were the first to look up in front of them. They saw a white Pegasus Unicorn with a horn, huge white wings, and colorful light cobalt blue mane. The boys looked at her in awe.

She smiles at them warmly, "Hello Max and Corey. It's so wonderful to finally see all six of you."

She looked up at the other four and saw there mouths drop as well. Twilight and her friends all bow there heads in front of her.

Twilight walked forward to her, "Princess Celestia. We have read the letter that you sent us and you said that you knew who might have taken your sister Luna."

Celestia nodded at her, "Yes Twilight I do. I believe that it is Night Shadow who might have taken her."

Jack looks at her puzzled, "Who's Night Shadow?"

"Night Shadow is a descendant of the royal family. He has always been a troubled one to deal with and even when we were young, he has always wanted power and control. He would do anything to obtain it for the love of war and conflict. This troubled my sister and I. We had no choice, but to banish him to a different planet. We never thought that we would see him ever again" She informed.

Everyone looked at each other until Sam walked up to her, "Well what does he want with your sister, Princess?"

The Princess sighed, "He has always wanted our powers to use to become a god and rule over Equestria. We thought that banishing him would make Equestria safe, but now that he has my sister; I fear that he may try to take her powers away from her and use them to take over your world."

The boys were all shocked by this; they all had worried looks on there faces, thinking about what he might do to there families and friends.

Clayton stepped forward to her, "Princess Celestia."

She smiles at him, "You can call me Celestia."

Clayton nods, "Celestia tell me. Do you know of anyone named Vanish?"

Celestia looked at him with a look of worry, "I do. Did you meet him?"

Clayton smirked, "Even better. I fought with him and won although he did cut me on my chest, but I cut him on his cheek deep."

He smiled as he started to remember there encounter. Celestia made her horn glow and a white light touched Clayton's chest. He puts his hand on his chest and felt where his scars were, but he lifted his shirt and his scar, and bullet wound was gone. He smiled and looked up at Celestia who smiled back at him. Clayton did the unthinkable: he ran up and hugged her.

Everyone was shocked to see this just as much as Princess Celestia was. She leaned her head down to him and nuzzled his shoulder. After a while he let go of her neck slowly.

"Sorry Celestia. Guess I got carried away." He scratched his head.

Celestia still kept her smile, "That's quite alright Clayton, but I also have some bad news."

Everyone snapped out of there shock to hear what Celestia had to say.

"Night Shadow has sent me a letter not to long ago saying that he want's to have a small war and who's general is left standing wins my sister." She frowned in sadness.

Rarity then stomped her hooves down, "That is the most vile thing that I have ever hear in my whole life! I mean who would even do such a thing to anypony let alone family!"

Celestia nodded at her in agreement, "He doesn't see Luna and I as family; only as enemies that can hurt. I will inform my royal guards about his war and I will let my nephew Shining Armor be the general of the faction."

Twilight shot her head up, "P-princess! Your going to send my brother out to fight against Shadows army!?"

Celestia walked over to her star pupil and leaned her head down to her, "Don't worry Twilight. I do not wish any harm that comes to your brother, because I will be with him."

Everyone shouted in unison, "WHAT!"

"Yes I shall join my royal guards and your brother into the battle. I understand that you are concerned, but rest assured that I will protect my little ponies with my life."

Clayton stepped forward, "I'm joining you as well. I want to be of help in this fight.. Plus maybe get even with Vanish"

Rainbow looked at him in shock, "What! Dude are you crazy! I can't afford to see you get hurt by this Vanish guy!"

Clayton leaned down and stroked her mane, "I know Dashie, but I want to do this. I want to help out anyway that I can and I'm not taking no for an answer."

Applejack walked up to his side, "Now clay. I know that you wanna help out and stuff, but we can't bear to see you in real danger, Sugarcube."

Fluttershy spoke "Yes... W-we care about you so much and we would be crushed if you were to be hurt in that fight."

Rainbow held onto Clayton's hip crying into his chest, "Please.... I don't want to see you in any kind of pain."

Clayton pulled her from his hip and held her in his arms and kissed her cheek making her blush deeply.

He smiled at her, "I will be fine."

She nuzzled her head into his chest as she wraps her hoofs around his neck.

Celestia smiles at the two before she begins to speak, "Night Shadows little war will not start until tomorrow. If you all would like; I'd be more than happy to let you see your families in Ponyville. You could show everypony your new friends as well."

They all nodded at her as she walked with them outside of her room, down the hallway and out the castle. Outside was where a chariot awaited for them and they got into it. The Royal Pegasus Guards started to pull the chariot into the sky. The boys were amazed by the view as they flew. Fluttershy was holding onto Dillon's leg as she was a little afraid of heights. They started to see Ponyville into view the six humans started showing huge smiles. Their long awaited dream of coming to Ponyville was finally coming true. As soon as they landed into next to the library, everyone stepped off of the chariot, and the guards flew up into the sky back towards Canterlot. Everyone walked up to Twilight's house and a small purple dragon opens the door and runs to his purple companion.

"Twilight! Oh man. Am I so happy to see you. I was so worried that-" The baby dragon's words are stopped by Twilight rubbing his head with her hoof

"Oh Spike I'm fine. Thank you. I would also like to introduce you to my new friends and my.. Well special close friend Max." She said making her and Max blush.

Spike looked over at the pair of humans and looked up to see there smiling faces down at him.

He pointed at them, "Wha-what. What are you guys?"

Max knelt down to the baby dragons eye level, "Well Spike were humans and don't worry, we're not bad and we're not gonna hurt anypony or you; we promise that."

He held out his hand to him as Spike reached out to touch his and they shook, "Wow. You have some huge claws."

Max only smiled at his words, "Well these aren't claws my new friend. These are hands a little different than claws."

They stopped shaking hands as Max pointed to each of his friends, "These are my friends Sam, Jack, Dillon, Clayton, and my older brother Corey."

Each of the boys shook Spike's hand as they were introduced themselves to him. As Spike got to Dillon and Clayton's hands he looked at there weapons that they had on them.

"Hey? What are those things?" He asked.

Dillon looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Spike pointed to his windmill Shuriken that was on his right side and pointed to Clayton's Katana on his back.

"I mean those. What are those?" He asked again.

Clayton pulled his Katana off of his back showing it to him still in it's sheath.

"Oh these... These our are weapons. We use these to defend other people well in this case anypony with these things. They are very dangerous to use and can hurt you as well if not in proper care, but we only use these to defend the people that we love." Clayton finished.

Spike beamed with excitement, "Wow! So all of you guys have one of these things?"

The other four shook there heads as Dillon tapped the dragons head. Spike looked at him bewildered.

"Sorry Spike, but only my cousin Clayton and I carry them. The reason to this is because that our friends have never used a weapon of any kind in there life. So they don't have any experience like the two of us do." Dillon informed.

Spike nodded as he understood him. They back away from him and walk to each of there ponies.

"Well, if you boys want to you can explore Ponyville; you can now." Twilight stated.

The boys nodded at her and they left the library. They went their separate ways towards Ponyville with their partners. Everypony looked at the new creatures and hid in fear, but some walked up to them and greeted the boys. They told them what they were and what there world was like. Some ponies wanted to hear more while others started asking questions to them and they kindly answered them. Some even hugged them and took photos with them. The residents of Ponyville enjoyed the newcomers and really hoped that they would stay.
