Discord had vanished with his mobile suit when they and the train started the up hill climb with a quick "I'll get us lunch." The train was slowed but so was the Dom it went from zipping along next to the train to leap forging up the mountain.

She reached the freight station just before the train had. But she was worried the guards where not here yet "You would think if the train was on time the guard would be too. Especially if they are servants of the Divine Sisters." She said to her self so her thoughts where picked up be the cockpit mission recorder for the record.

She watched as the other cars where unloaded by ponies and other races. She almost didn't notice the shady looking earth ponies moving to unload the ammunition cars. "Hold it you two!" She called as her suit turned with a the thump of a signal step the mono eye glared at the two stallions. "Those last cars are military property and will remain untouched till the guard comes to retrieve it." said Priest the two stallions backed up at the attention they got.

The first one a brown earth pony with a crowbar and crate cutie mark and black mane and tail smiled up at the glowing eye of what in his mind was a demon from Tartarurs. His green eye's showing his fear. The other one had white coat blue eye's and blond with green striped mane and tail. His cutie mark was a open box. Spoke. "Um we where told to have the cart loaded when they get here."

Priest frowned in her suit. "I was not advised of this change in the plan. If this is the case then one of the Divine Sisters would have sent a message to Princess Twilight who would have told one of the others in a the initial in form me. Given this has not happened I ask you to please step away from the train cars."

The two stallions did as the giant metal mare said. The first looks to his budy. "What now Lose Lid?"

Lose Lid sighed. "No choice we wait for the boss mare to check what is holding us up. So grab a bench Prybar."

After five minutes a mare in a fancy dress and hat showed up. She was unicorn had some vary nice curves and her cutie mark was hidden by her dress's skirt. Her fur was whitish blue her mane a bright pink. "What are you two sitting around for load the wagon!" she shouted at them. Lose just pointed at the Dom.

The mare followed his finger and frowned. As Lose said. "There was no guards on the train cause they had that big thing following it, and she won't let us near it saying she has a way to contact her princess how can contact the other ones. So until she hears different no one not in armor touches the crates. Me and Prybar ain't smart enough to talk around her and ain't dumb enough to risk pissing her off. So if you want what's in them boxes you need to get past her eye."

"Yeah and it don't blink none ether. Not once the whole time, even when steam from the train engine leaving hit it." said Prybar.

Inside the suit Priest watch as the two talked to the mare. The mare then walked towards her. "Excuse me miss ... Um.. miss..."

"My name is Samantha Colt. But most call me Priest. Lieutenant Commander junior grade of Princess Twilight Sparkle's personal guard. Here to insure the safe delivery of this cargo to her divine holiness the night Goddess Luna."said Priest.

The mare blinked as she thought 'Buck me sideways. She is not just some super guard she one of those fanatics that see the Alicorns as immortal goddesses... think think think! How do I get her to let me take the cargo, bribery is out, so that means.' "Oh I understand that's why we are here you see I'm from the guard but we didn't want to cause a seen so we are not sending armed and armored troops we even contracted these two yard ponies to help make it look like it's nothing dangerous or important as we haul it." said the mare with a smile.

"What's the mission code word?"asked Priest.

'Code word what the buck? When did guards start being this bucking smart that they use code words to check identity?' She raged in her head. "Harmony?" The Dom grasped the hilt of its sword and drew it before flipping it to hold upside down pointing at the mare both hands on it.

"Wrong..." Said Priest.

"Oh sorry it's friendship easy mistake." said the mare.

The Dom's blade glowed before coming down inches from the mare, burning the brim of her hat. She jumped back. "Your guessing or playing a very stupid game Say the wrong answer again and I will send your soul to Luna for judgement!" said Priest in a threatening tone. As she pulled the blade out of the melted whole in the ground.

The mare looked at the teal green eye with her own red ones. Then stepped back in to bench to consult with her goons.

Discord popped in side the Dom's cockpit. "Oh I missed something it seems?" he asked.

"This mare claims she is from the castle but she doesn't know the code word." said Priest.

"I see what a clever word too, vengeance is such a foreign word most ponies never heard it before." said Discord.

Priest gave him a smile then saw the box he was holding. "Where you get too any way Lord Discord?"

Discord smiled back at her "Oh I like you." He opened the box to show five inch tall doughnut ponies. Twelve of them all mares. "These are the latest trend. Pinkie Pie came up with them. Doughnut ponies, there magically delishes. They are not as popular in Ponyville but they are loved in Canterlot she has a contract with a place called Doughnut Joe's, to sell them. Luna and Celestia love them." he said.

"A bit morbid given their waving at me..." Said Priest.

"These are magic pastries. They are animated by spell but they don't feel pain. See." To make his point he grabs one and bites of its leg. It looked a little panicked but it didn't seem hurt.

"Ok... I guess if the goddesses eat them it's ok." She took one and took a bit out of it..her mouth was filled with doughnuty goodness. She swallowed "Ok that is delicious. So you know who that mare is?"

"Not by name but she is a noble, a lower noble but a noble." said Discord rubbing his chin.

She grabbed another doughnut pony. "Can you go see what's taking the guards?"

"Ok but save me some doughnuts." He said handling her the box.

==========================================================

Canterlot guard wagon depot

Discord popped in a set of guard armor in his own unique color pattern that would give Rarity a heart attack. He walked up to a guard. "Solder! The train of dangerous material is at the Canterlot freight station, where are the wagons to unload it?"said Discord doing a impression of a military officer.

The guard blinked "WHAT? But the unit and wagons left a hour ago we thought there was delay at the station?!" Shouted the guard before he ran of rallying a second wagon train and many more guards.

Discord blinked then smiled. "Oh dear this is going to be fun." He snapped his claws and teleported away.

============================================

Train station.

The mare was pacing she was concerned the plan was going to fail. "Load the wagon now we can't wait longer."

Priest saw the ponies moving to unload cars again. "Halt you have not show the proper clearance to unload the cars." The giant sword of the Dom started to glow as she started to point it at them. The two stallions looked at the mare behind them. She motioned for them to continue.

She walked forward "We have wasted enough time to with you. The princesses are expecting this cargo so we are going to load it! By order of lady Black Market of the house of Nobles and by the right and powers of my station I order you to stand down!" the green eye looked right at her.

"Your request is denied. You are now under arrest on the charges of sedition, treason, political corruption, and attempted theft of royal military hardware. Lie on the ground face down and put your hands behind you head." Priest ordered as her Dom stepped on to platform showing the three ponies the true full size of what they faced.

"How dare you, I'm one of the most respected nobles in Canterlot!" Her horn lit up and she shot a stun bolt the giant. The eye flashed a bit but nothing happened.

Inside the suit "OK that something to note in mass or higher charges would be like shock rod or tether and fry a suit." she said for her mission recorder. The Dom moved its left arm and massive bright light came from the giants hip then the ponies where scoped up by the left hand of the Dom. The hard metal hand closes around the three ponies pressing them together. "I will be adding resting arrest and attempted assault of a military officer."

It was now that Discord in his suit of armor ran in blowing a police whistle and a flashing red light on his head. "That's the ponies Captain Law. The ones being detained by our fellow guard pony." Called Discord, as he pointed behind him as fifty guards followed him in.

The Captain Law smiled "Good work. Lieutenant Commander Colt, Mission Vengeance Clear."

"Understood Captain." Came the woman's voice from the giant as she handed the three ponies of to the guards. "I will give a full report on their arrest and charges during debrief after the ammo is unloaded." She pulled of the tarp and showed crates of ammo and stacks of larger explosives. "Please bring the carts forward." she asked.

The captain waved a wing and dozens of heavy wagons. Thus the slow and careful process began.

================================================

Canterlot hours later royal court of the Sun.

"......And that concludes my mission report your holiness of the day." Said Priest as she kneels before the Celestia.

Celestia looked at the mare and her two cohorts and sighed. "Thank you Priest you have leave to rest in a castle guest room as well as join me and my sister for dinner tonight. Rest assured I will see that these three are investigated thoroughly."

"As you wish and thank you, your holiness." She stood up and saluted before turning about and marching out.

Celestia looked at them. "You two Colts shell be let off with a warning and community service. Given you where just hired to unload the train car and did not know what was going on. But you Black Market as a noble and lady of my court should know better. But I will let you explain the reason behind you actions given you face chargers of Treason and Sedition."

Black Market stood tall and with all the poise and breading of her noble line made her case before her princes. "It's too much advancement to fast change is not good. Change upsets the order and that can cause panic. I thought that if we could take and destroy or hid the projectile weapons shown in the report it at least limit the changes to fighting and keep things traditional to some existent. It's bad enough that Blueblood and his ilk dropped there opposition to the cell phone things Twilight and Sunset are some enthralled with, not to mention the game devices that Luna pushed through with trick wording. But now these machines that shrug off magic?! And Princess Twilight wants to give common farmers a version made to help them till and plow fields? What if the earth ponies try to rebel or over throw the nobles?" said Black Market.

Celestia sighs. "While I understand your position and I to dislike this sudden jump in technology, you can trust that I will make sure the civilian models are far weaker then the guard units. That should dissuade some fears, as to the changes that are coming, we have to adapt Luna is already choosing where her moon's first city will be. Though it may be sixty or more years before that happens. But not all change is bad. Who knows maybe Discord and that cult of his can have there own.... colony I think they called them. Yes a nice place beyond Luna's Moon for him and his elk to have all the chaos they like all the time. I'm sure that thought will make many nobles happy." said Celestia.

Black Market bows her head and spoke. "Your wisdom is as always beyond that of the average ponies you highness. I beg forgiveness for my rash actions."

"Given this is you first offence and you had only the safety of Equestria at heart. There for I find you guilty of the lesser chargers of attempted theft of military equipment and attempted assault. As punishment you are fined thirty-two thousand bits and are barred from noble court for six months." said Celestia.

===================================================

Dinner Canterlot Castle

Priest sat with the royal sister's, Discord, and Blueblood at small table in the private dinning room.

"Thank you for the honor of having dinner with you your holiness's, Lord Discord, Prince Blueblood." she said politely.

"Well I must say you are much more polite then the two brutes that was acting as Princess Twilight's attending guards today." said Blueblood.

"Ahh Yes Big Tom and Sofie, had throne duty today. There both under water combat pilots so they are not the happiest on dry land but they take there duty seriously. I apologize on their behalf. You accent might have made them think you where being disrespectful of Princess Twilight." said Priest.

"Oh yes my accent that must have been it I will speak softer next time. They were zealous in their duty." said Blueblood.

"I feel it's a breath of fresh air to know that Twilight's new guard are so diligent in their duty. They should be a example to all guards. I have said as much to my own guards and some have taken my words to heart and are putting greater effort to their work." said Luna.

"And they have such a chaotic spark, so unpredictable. It is a true joy to have them here. Fluttershy is especially curious about them given they are more like apes then ponies." said Discord.

"Back in our word, scientist said that there is only a two chromosome difference between humans and apes. So her view is not that strange. It's not uncommon for drill instructors to call recruits such as a insult." said Priest.

"They insult their charges? We would never allow such a thing, in our guard training." said Celestia.

"I don't think it is a bad thing. I was not happy in boot camp but it helps focus us. Brakes down the weakness and rebuilds the person in to a strong soldier. At the time I wanted to kill mine afterwards though I can't help but thank the jerk. He was cruel to be kind, and it was thanks to his training and the blessing of the stars I survived the battlefield to be delivered to this land of peace and goddesses." said Priest.

"I say that's a interesting view of it." Said Blueblood.

"The Captain, said hard in training easy in battle. When I joined his unit the first week of piloting drills was worse then boot camp. But cause of his extra drills I have the skills I do to use my Dom Tropen." said Priest.

"What are these drills?"Asked Celestia.

"Combat stimulation, set to a difficulty beyond the point of fair. When I started the drills I was the pilot in a Zaku one vs three hundred stolen Zaku two's as the war went on the enemy in simulation got harder. The last version was fifty of the Gundam suits of the federation. " said Priest.

"These Gundam they are that dangerous?"Asked Luna.

"It is, our machine guns are useless against it only Gouf and other higher end suits can match it in hand to hand, and the it shrugs of most of our heavy weapons. And the white devil of the federation, has killed several of our aces. And a close friend of the Captain's. That was when he started the using the Gundam simulation... I think he was hunting the suit for revenge..." The rest of the meal was quite as the rulers though over what they heard.

Then Blueblood noticed what Priest was eating. "Is that a Griffon dish?"

"Yes it fish. Due to a surprising amount of intelligent races on your world, our diet has been restricted, to fish chicken and ham. With more plants in it, the Captain has always, loved the taste of meat and he misses beef. But he makes do." said Priest.

The ponies look slack jawed at her. Discord just smiled and said "Why you so surprised, didn't you read Twilight's report? It said humans are omnivorous creatures, even your former student Sunset has added more meat in her diet. It's all there in both Sunset's and Twilight's study of humans in both the mirror and our new residents." Discord smirked.

Luna face palmed, "She tends to be over worded in her reports."

Celestia sighed "And Sunset is more... colorful in her word choices. So I assumed she meant something else and Twilight's I skimmed"

They all looked at Blueblood. "I had other matters to tend to. So no I didn't." He said though he had the good seance to fain embarrassment. "Though I shall now, perhaps it will help in future dealings with you and your comrades." Blueblood said trying to save face. "I shall recommend the house of nobles to read them as well."

"Thank you Prince Blueblood taking such steps shows you are caring and devoted public servant to your nation." Said Priest.

This made everyone but Priest and Blueblood, laugh.

======================================================
Later outside.

"Thank you for you hospitality. But I can't stay longer. Send Twilight a message when you are ready to start the tests and one of us will be sent up." Said Priest before she ascended the zipline to the hatch. The large suit closed and walked over to the wall overlooking the cliff then boost jumped off the ponies including the princess and all in the garden rushed to the side in fear below they saw the Dom sliding down the side of the mountain a trail of dust as it seems to ski down its rocky slope.

"These machines never stop surprising me sister. I want one for my own when we start production." said Luna

They watched it jump the rail way and land in the grass lands before zipping away cross the planes.

"How dose a machine so big move that fast?" asked Blueblood.

"That is in Twilight's next report." said Discord.
