Last stand of the 666th. "if im going to hell I'm taking you with me!"

Jaburo November 30th UC 0079

We have been routed, that impatient fool Char may have found the base but he screwed the pooch when he pressed this attack. If I see his masked face I'm going to put a bullet in it. The assault at least by my team was a success we hit our objectives the were raining hell on the feddys. Then their new suits showed up, first one or two at a time then by dozens then hundreds. We were being overrun by cheap knockoffs of our oldest suits. The next three hours was my unit running slowly getting chewed up by their beam guns as our ammo ran low.

"Captain!!!" Shouted one of my Zaku pilots right before it went up in a ball of flames. I entered with thirty suits I'm down to seven and taking shelter in some old ruins in the god-damn jungle, in enemy territory hundreds of miles south of our nearest base.

"Back to back!" I ordered. My Gouf flight type stopping with a spin in the center of an ancient plaza in the ruins. "If this is our last stand let’s take them to hell with us!" I said as drew my sword.

The Dom Tropen to my right reloaded it's twin 90mm machine guns. "May the stars take our souls and those of our fallen comrades to see all of time." Said its pilot.

The last Zaku two, a cannon type, was to my left the rookie has made a good showing for their self. The zaku two had been loaded for bear 120mm machine gun, 280mm bazooka and the Cannon on its shoulder. "It has been an honor sir, the drinks are on me in the next world."

The two amphibious, suits to the left are Z'gok E type and Hygogg they had a hard time making the the run but they made it to the end. "We are with you boss." Said Z'gok's pilot.

The Hygogg' s pilot spoke next. "We have an all expense paid trip to hell for you feddys! Come get your tickets punched!"

The last 2 are a kämpher and a Efreet.

"Captain you could still fly out you know?" Said the Kämpher's pilot

"Save it, the Cap won't leave us. He is too damn loyal. It's been good knowing you all." Said the Efreet's pilot.

The feddys encircled us. "Thank you all for your service. And see you all in the stars." I said. Then the feddys attacked.

We laid into them with everything we had the the wreckage was starting to pile up around us. They were even tossing infantry and tanks at us. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly enjoying my last moments. This was how a soldier is meant to die. I just hope when the Zeon win the war they put a monument right here.

What none of us noticed was the oil and blood pouring in to grooves in the ground forming some forgotten symbol. Then feddys just stopped attacking all of sudden. They started backing away from us. I thought that maybe they lost their nerve that we won some how. Then we noticed the light a ominous red glow from the ground. Before I could give any orders there was a bright flash and everything went black.

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

Equestria 6 weeks after Sunset Shimmer's return from the world from the mirror world.

Sunset smiled as she finished the summoning circle. "Ok class this is the circle for a basic ether summon. The ether is the world between worlds and has many strange things floating in it. These range from writhing masses of tentacles to random junk that fell out of its world. My first summon was a deck of playing cards. But the amount of magic used will effect how big or how many objects or creatures we pull through." She explained.

In front of her were Trixie and Twilight, Trixie had come to her friend for some new spells for her show. Sunset had be staying with Twilight, offer to teach her summoning and then Twilight said she never learned it ether. Now both watched with rapt attention. Twilight raised her hand.

Sunset rolled her eyes "Yes Princess Sparkle" she said causing Twilight to blush and Trixie to laugh.

"So why did you make it so big?"Asked Twilight.

"Good question and the answer is two fold. First is the bigger the seal the more power it needs to work and the higher power the bigger the summon. Second I want to flex my horn as well as see what the three of us could summon if we gave it our all. This will also give us a gauge of all our magic." Said Sunset.

"So you want us to randomly summon the biggest or most items we can?"Asked Trixie.

"Pretty much." Said Sunset with a shrug.

"Well I guess we could do it. I mean it's not like there is anything dangerous in the ether..... right?" Said Twilight looking a little worried.

"Nothing worse than rape tentacles and they dissolve after a hour, don't ask the next question on your minds. That is unless you want mental images that three gallons of sweet Apple Acres best hard cider can't get rid of." Said Sunset causing both mares to close their mouths.

The crusaders watching nearby started laughing. Trixie shot them a glare.

"Ok we have the seal, all we have to do is charge it, and it will do the rest. This is why summoning is dangerous. The ease it is to use without much training and the wrong seal can lead to a very bad day. This is why we're using the ether seal." Sunset explained.

"Ok I'm ready." Said Twilight.

"Trixie is ready as well." Said Trixie.

"Ok then, let's light this candle and see what we get." Said Sunset as her horn lit and a beam of energy hitting the circle. Trixie and Twilight joined in a few seconds latter. The seal glowed brightly then a red light shot into the sky then 7 massive suits of armor and strange objects fell from the sky shaking the ground along with a rain of blood. This obviously sent the CMC running away screaming.

"Not like anything dangerous huh?" Said Trixie as she shook blood off her hat.

"I'll admit this is a new one. Giant armors with weapons and a rain of blood is not in the book. These must be a case of world slip items. Though where they’re from I'm not sure." Said Sunset.

"So what now we dismiss them?"Asked Twilight.

"Can't they’re world slipped they lost anchor to their home plane then re-anchored here when we summoned them." Explained Sunset.

"So we are stuck with them?"Asked Twilight her ears folded back.

"Yes.... look at it this way you got a one of a kind set of statues for your castle." Said Sunset then there was a loud hiss as the chest on one opened and a figure tried to climb out only to fall back in....

"Trixie go get nurse Red Heart. Sunset help me find how the others open we have to make sure nopony is hurt in them." Said Twilight.

Wake up butter cup.... to the pain!

'Seven humans.' Twilight thought going over there charts. 'three female four males. But there are not the same as the ones Sunset and I met. They are all the same skin color or at lest close to it. And the X-Rays shows that some of them have spent prolonged time in low gravity? Who are they and what where they fighting that they would need mechanical armors that big?' She pondered this as she walked back to the field where she left Sunset to watch the and identify the weapons and maybe the machines.

Sunset was hanging out of that largest machines hatch. With Applejack starring at her flank and tail bouncing as she investigated it. Applejack turned to glare at Twilight the frown clear on her friends face, and the crossed arms told that she was not happy.

"Sorry AJ. We weren't expecting this. I mean we didn't mean to make a mess of the field and-" Twilight's apologies where cut short by a raised hand.

She unfolded her arms and pushed back her hat "Twi how long before ah get ma field back?" said Applejack in her Apple family drawl. She leaned in making her breasts sway and bounce a little, distracting Twilight with how much bigger then her own they where.

Ponies though somewhat similar to human in build did not wear clothes unless it was very cold, swimming or a job requirement. Most of the time at least. Sunset still had that leather jacket from the other world and other ponies where clothes to either stand out or show off there money. Most simply didn't as the fur they have hides all the naughty bits and keeps them warm most the time. (The anthro ponies in the story have full body fur wings and horn for those that have them, tails and hooves as well as a pony head) Twilight sighed. "As soon as we have the place set up for them and Sunset fishes making sure no ponies hurt them selves on a weapon." said Twilight before walking by with a royal sway in her hips.

She flapped her wings and ascended to whet Sunset was. "So are we safe to move this stuff?" She asked.

"Applehips down there wanting her field ready for plowing?"Asked Sunset making a lewd joke.

"Sunset! That's very rude." said a blushing Twilight.

"Oh chill. You should have stayed in the human world longer. As to the armor yeah we can take them any time the systems seam to work but I just shut them all down. Best not play with tech we don't understand. As to there weapons well half of them are ether attached or built in to the armor some how. The stuff scattered around must have been in there hands." explained Sunset.

Twilight's ears laid back "So they held all that?"

Sunset shook her head. "No likely some of the mags where on the ground given they are empty. So the ground under their hooves or feet in this case is where the Eather door opened with out warning and given the dents and still hot burn marks on the armor probably in a fight too."

Now Applejack was on the machine analyzing it as Twilight asked. "But what would they be fighting that they need these things? And what's a mag and why would it be empty?"

"Wow you never went to class in the other world, did you?" This made Twilight blush before Sunset continued with a smile. "First mag is short for magazine, a magazine holds a number of rounds for a firearm. From what I learned in the world thorough the mirror is that the firearm or more commonly called gun is the most common human weapon. To the point of replacing spears and swords. And they are deadly in the extreme. Most ponies can't imagine how many humans died a day fighting each other in the two world wars they had."

"Wait, two world wars when there is only one race? How? Why?"Asked Twilight while AJ looked pale at the weapons lying in her field.

"I figured this would come up so I brought some human history books back with me. But these weapons are way over the top. From what I know and can figure out. The vary big tubes are what look like bazookas think of them as portable cannons with exploding cannonballs. The smallest ones and some of the larger one including the thing on that shield are a automatic fire and reloading gun called machine guns the smallest of witch seems to be firing 90mm rounds bigger then the our largest cannon last I checked. Lastly they seemed to have shotguns, which I only know from the human Applejack showing of her skill with that type of gun on her farm to me. It works like grape shot in a cannon fires a spread of smaller balls. As for the attached guns. Well there is a lot of them some I don't know. I did learn that the melee weapons are super-heated on there cutting edges. So that leads me to the belief that they where probably fighting other humans in similar machines. Or some real big and dangerous monsters with guns of there own...." finished Sunset the sound of Applejack tossing her lunch in the field was all she could hear.

Twilight after watching AJ lose it finally spoke. "So those smaller things in the armors and the sheaths are guns too?" Asked Twilight.

Sunset climbed out and nodded. "Yeah those I recognized as weapons, that why I had them locked up after we undressed the humans in the hospital."

"Thanks without you we could be in trouble. We won't know who they are till they wake up or who or what they where fighting. Come on let's see about moving this stuff. I hope Trixie got the space clear."

================================================
Ponyville hospital two weeks latter.

The first to Awaken was the smallest of the humans. He had fu man chu beard five inches long and mid length dark blond hair. He had blue green eyes with a brand mark of a anchor on his cheek with a scar citing through it. On his back was a lot of scars, and on his right arm at the shoulder was a Zeon flag with a the words 'Death be fore slavery!' On a banner under it. This human male was in his late 20s average build his name was Jay Alexander Johnson, he was the captain of three sixes and stood a impressive four feet eight inches.

His eyes scanned the room till the found the source of the damn beeping that was bugging him. 'I hate those damn things. They need a quite button. Ok so situation, in a hospital, not dead, feeling really good, ok I'm a pow in a freddy med ward after that underground attack wrecked my suit and they have me on the good meds, wait that can't be right one they would have just left me to die and two I'm not in restraints. Was I recovered by a friendly infiltration team or gorilla fighters after they decided leave me for dead and they pulled me out? In ether case that beep is annoying.'

The door opened and lights suddenly flipped on. Causing him to snap his eyes closed. "Gods fucking damn it! Don't they train you to knock or at least warn a guy before you hit the lights!" he shouted.

He heard a gasp then clicking of some thick heels on tile. And a woman shouting. "Guards one is awake! Fetch the princess!"

'Princess? Dose she mean Lady Kycilia? Did something happen while I was out? Well I'll know know soon enough' he wondered.

It was a long wait which gave Jay time to take in his surroundings. One thing he noticed that the bed was way bigger then needed. 'Must be a high class hospital' He mused. The blinds where drawn but he could see sunlight seeping in. By the gravity he knew he was still on earth. He had been told by some of his spacenoid brothers in arms that the gravity on the colonies was close but not the same cause it required the colony's rotation to generate it. Also he know heard birds chirping outside. He didn't think they had lose birds in the colonies. Also the nurse had said one of them is awoke. 'I wounder who else made it. Or the others just serviurs from the battle.' His thoughts where interrupted by what he assumed to be heels on tile. He pushed him self up to a sitting position and got ready to salute while being careful of his IV.

But who or more exactly what stepped in to the door way. Was not who he expected. There was three of them about six foot tall maybe taller and vary clearly female. One was clearly the nurse by her coat and hat the other two well the one on the right had a horn, hair or mane like fire red and blond, the same for her tail and a coat of yellowish fur and wore a black leather jacket with metal studs. The last was a whole lot of purple her mane and tail being three shades of it two in signal streaks and she had wings and a horn, plus a crown. Or is it a tiara?

The purple one stepped forward was a about to speak but Jay stopped her by raising his hand. "Look princess, I assume you are the princess by the hat, just answer one thing before I pass out, are there more like me, how many and are they alive?"

Twilight bit her lip then spoke "Yes six others and yes there in near by rooms same symbols on there uniforms as yours had so we believe they are part of your unit. Right?" Twilight smiled awkwardly.

"Ok the last of my unit escaped. I'm going to pass out now and hope when I wake up I'm not hallucinating colorful Amazon horse women from planet Jugs." and with that the good captain returned to unconsciousness.

"Darn he fainted now I owe Trixie one-hundred bits now." said Sunset.

Twilight's ears laid back "What did he mean by that last part?" she asked Sunset.

"Oh he thinks we are a hallucination from his medication most likely and that we are hot and sexy giant mares. At lest if his world has the same term usages as the one we went to did." said Sunset.

"Ok I'm going to the cafeteria. Nurse Red Heart come get me if he or any of the others wake, and we will try again." said Twilight.

"You go I'll stay here, besides I'm in no hurry to pay off Trixie. I really expected him to scream." said Sunset.

"Ok." said Twilight as she and the nurse left.

Sunset smiled. "Amazon's horse women from planet Jugs hum? Wait till you see Luna and Celestia." She smiled as she thought of a way to win back her bits.

One hour later the captain woke again to see the fire manned female unicorn woman sitting in a chair next to his bed. "Oh good I'm still on Jugs. Do I get ravaged by harem of women now or do I have to prove my self in the princess's bed first?"

Sunset burst out laughing so hard she fell to the floor. After five minutes of Sunset in tiers from laughing so hard. "Ok... hehehe... I'm good now. Oh Celestia this is why I missed humans they can make those jokes with a completely serious face."

"That's a first, those jokes get me slapped by women back home. So what's your number?" Said the Captain.

Sunset smiled. "Keep dreaming besides there are only five cell phones on Equiss and four belong to the princesses one of whom is married and the last one is mine. The reminds me." She pulled out her phone. "I hope she picked it up like I told her too."

'Twi he woke again. Made another funny tell you what he said later.' -Sunset

"There she will here soon. So what is that thing you were in?" Sunset asked.

Before he spoke a bright flash filled the room "Sorry it took so long had to set up Trixie back on angry sheep. Did I miss anything?"

"She just asked about my Mobile suit." Said Jay.

"Mobile suit?" Asked both of them as Twilight conjuered a scroll and quill.

"Ok so I guess I'll start with mine? I can guess we aren't on Earth no more and you two ain't Federation forces. So my suit is called a Gouf. To be accurate it's a MS-07H-8 Gouf Flight Type. The mane armaments are the 75mm gatling shield and heat sword, secondary is 3 barrel 35mm machine gun on on left the right arm also has built in flame throwers. The torches are my own addition to the suit. My pay back to the feddies for the lashings and branding my face." said Jay.

Sunset gulped "They branded you, why?"

"Oh that's simple I spoke up against the them. The local goons that where kicking farmers of their land so they can sell it to the rich and snobby to build shit on. My family was one of them. We lost our farm. We grew grapes for wine. But cause we where a small family brand they don't care. I punched out the head goon when they where smashing bottles and barrels. When he got up they shot my folks and little sister and branded me with one of there badges after heating it up in the fire of my burning home. When Zeon took north American territories in the early days of the war I started attacking the federation with a few other victims. We took one of their bases and mounted the heads of the feddy troops on sticks out front. A week later Zeon came in and Garma Zabi the youngest son of the leader came out personally to thank us. I caved this scar on my face before his eyes and pledged to serve Zeon tell we destroyed every last trace of the federation. He was so taken by my zeal he fast tract me and my gorilla fighters in to the Zeon mobile suit core. He gave me one of the first Gouf MS-7 Gouf suits on my birth day. three days later the federation killed him. His best friend from school just stood there and watched as he died in a fire ball as his ship exploded in mid air." said Jay.

The girls looked sick. from the story. Twilight was in tears now. "They, they did..." she then jumped on the bed hugged him crying. His face getting planted in her cleavage. After a few seconds he started to squirm.
"Twilight let the human breath." said Sunset pulling them apart with her magic.

Jay gasped for air. "That was the best near death experience in my life." He said. Twilight blushed.

Sunset rolled her eyes. "Yes, you can now check nearly smothered by breast as big as your head of your bucket list." she snarked.

"I, Oh buck me...." Said Twilight as her face went red.

"Ok, I am really starting like it here. Can I get some rest? Bad memories tend to wear me out." Jay asked.

"Ok we can just talk to your troops when they wake up. Ok?" said Twilight.

"Yes, just rest and remember the feel of that nice death hug from the princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle." said Sunset chuckling at the red faced glare from Twilight.

"Sure go ahead, tell them mission password is vengeance. They will know you can be trusted." he said as they walked out. The two waved and nodded.

He heard them outside. "Wait till the girls see this. Should have figured you would go fore a soldier like your brother. Or is it that he's human." teased Sunset.

"Sunset delete that pic!" shouted Twilight.

"Oppsie, I just sent it to the other princesses by accident." she said.

"Sunset get back here!" shouted Twilight.

"I think I like this place, really, really like this place." He said as he relaxed.

======================================
An hour latter

Second to awake was PO1 Fritz Hammond, age 18, five foot four, light build, green eyes and black hair, male. A nurse was changing his bandages he had hit his head when his suit had landed. All the young man could see was a pair of large breasts in his face making him blush. "Umm.... hello nurse?" He at least assumed it was a nurse.

The woman jumped revealing a anthro horse woman, her mane was in a hair net bun and both it and her tail where light blue and her fur that he could see was pale yellow. "Oh um.. I'm told that we are suppose to tell you the password of the mission is Vengeance? Please let that mean you won't try and attack me." the nurse mumbled out a little sacred that the ape creature woke up with her so close.

"It is the units all clear signal. You knowing it means we can trust you and your not Federation forces. I'm Petty officer first class Fritz Hammond. And your name is?" Said Fritz with a smile now fully relaxing. Waking up in what is clearly a alien hospital is strange but the captain's safe word made him feel at ease.

"I'm nurse Coldheart, let me finish changing you bandage and then I'll fetch the Princess." she said now a lot more relaxed.

"Ok." He said before the mare got back to work her impressive rack now in his face again, but not as close. "I have to admit this is a first for me. Not just meeting alien race. But being in a hospital. How bad was I?" Fritz asked.

"Well you and the other six where nearly dead from MO witch is Mana Overload. I guess the eather didn't agree with your bodies. Also you and three others had injuries. Though only one of those was not caused by falling in those... what did Red Heart say the your captain called them?" Said Coldheart trailing off.

He smirked as her breast rocked in her tight uniform. "They are called mobile suits. The short hand when writing it is M.S. and some call them that. Mine was the unit's heavy gunner."

"Oh that sounds like a important role. For a low rank like yours, why did you have it?" she asked as she stood up straight.

"Every suit that could fight was being thrown at the feddy Home base. My last one was scraped for parts so the gave me the Zaku cannon when I was transferred in to the three sixes." he said with a smile.

"Oh is see well I'll go get the princess now." She turned and walked out not noticing the humans eyes locked on her hips as they and her tail swayed out the door.

'Now I understand why they say I love to watch her go. Wow are all the horse aliens that we'll built? Guess I will find out soon.'

A few minutes later two women walked in one with a cell phone. The first one had a crown on. The other a leather jacket. "Hello I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle and this is Sunset Shimmer. After the talk with the captain and going through three quills and a scroll recording what he told us. I decided to just record the rest of my interviews with you humans. And despite what the captain has nicknamed our race, we are called ponies."

"You um... ponies have interesting names. I'm Fritz Hammond, Zeon forces, Petty Officer first class for the record. The newest and youngest member of the three sixes." He said giving a sharp salute.

"At ease Fritz, I'm not military and truth I'm just wearing the crown cause this is a big official thing and all. So why not tell us about your suit. It was vary well armed by what Sunset could identify." said Twilight with a smile.

Fritz blushed being addressed by his first name by what was a vary attractive woman in nothing but a crown. "Ok my suit is a Zaku cannon type. The MS-06K Zaku Cannon is mid range support and anti aircraft suit. I call mine Flacker. I was acting as one of the heavy gunners for the three sixes during the attack on the federation base. I wound up passing out a lot of mags to my comrades given I was carrying extra. The weapons my suit carried. Are the 120mm machine gun, the 280mm Zaku bazooka, the 180mm cannon over right shoulder, two three-tube missile pods on its legs, two tow-tube rocket launcher mounted on torso and the Heat Hawk of my last Zaku. I wanted to paint the suit before the mission but I'm neither a ace or high rank officer. Maybe cause I survived I can now! Um... Oh... it is intact right?"

Twilight giggled a little. "Yes all seven suits are intact and are standing as um... I guess lawn decorations around my castle. The weapons and other things that came lose in the fall are stored in a old barn of a friend and under guard. So um your captain told us why he joined the Zeon forces. Why did you? If you don't mind me asking." her ears laid back as she gave a nervous smile.

He shook his head. "Not at all mine is simple. I was born in one of the colonies. My family was well off so I was sent to Luna the capital city of the moon to go to school. Well any way shortly before the war several colonies tried to separate form the federation saying they are being unfairly taxed and a few other thing the government was doing. In response several colonies including the one my parents lived on were flooded with agent Orange. It's a vary nasty nerve gas. It killed everyone. So when the war started I enlisted with Zeon to build a better galaxy where such thing won't happen again." He was on the verge of tears. "Is that all you need?" he asked.

"Thank you Fritz. I see now why vengeance is you units word for safety. We will let you rest." The two mares left closing the door behind them.

================================================
Hospital hall way.

"I sent it to the others, they agree this is far better then just a trans script. It lets them see and hear the person." said Sunset she looked at the door.

"He is around the age of the cutie mark crusaders by the looks of it." Said Twilight.

"Yeah he looks as young as the Canterlot high kids do..." said Sunset bring up a picture of their human friends.

"Yeah. This federation they talk about, how could they do what they say they do. But Jay's face...that brand." said Twilight.

"It makes me wounder how far I would have gone if my plan had worked, would I have been as bad? Or worse? I mean I turned in to a raging she demon! The humans they talk about where just regular humans with no magic...." Sunset shutters.

"Yeah let's not think about what could have happened. Maybe they ended up with us for a reason. They have seen enough hard ship." said Twilight.

" I agree can you handle the next one alone? I'll go set up some rooms for them in you castle. As well as have their mobile suits cleaned and mending spells cast on the damage." said Sunset.

"Yes, let's make them feel welcome. Also ask Rarity to swing by and get their measurements. We may not need cloths all year round but they do." said Twilight.

Sunset nodded and walked away.

Twilight sighed and started to text Celestia.

'I want to offer these humans the position as my personal guard.'-Twi

'That's vary generous of you but are you sure you only spoke with two of them?'-Tia

'Yes I'll make it official if the other are the same. As the captain and petty officer. They have earned some peace and quiet and Equestria is just that most of the time.'-Twi

'Very well I'll trust your judgement. P.s. Lulu thinks the young Fritz is cute when he blushes. Lol'-Tia

Twilight giggled. Nurse Red heart walked up to her. "Princess Twilight one of the female humans woke up as well as a male. The male is complaining he's hungry." she said.

"Ok, I'll talk to the female first get the male a plate of fish and baked potatoes." said Twilight.

"Ok your highness." said Red Heart

============================================
Twilight entered the room and received a load groan. "What is with all the females here being built like Amazon supermodels?"asked the female in the bed.

Twilight giggled. "Sorry us ponies are just this way. But if it makes you feel better me and a friend spent some time as nearly flat human teenagers in another dimension." said Twilight.

She smiled. "Somewhat. I'm Captain Sofie Fang. I'm Captain Johnson's second in command. We met when my unit was folded in to his after Odessa." Said Sofie. Sofie Fang, Asian heritage, five foot three, red hair, Brown eyes, is sensitive about her bust size.

"You're a captain as well? Is it common for officers of the same rank to be in the same unit?" asked Twilight puzzled.

"Yes and no. It depends on who they are too. Jay was inducted as special forces. I was a Captain in the amphibious forces. Me and the big guy were transferred to his team when he requested some underwater combat experts and suits. I don't know if you meet the big guy yet. But you will know him on sight. Speaking of sight, my right eye; the nurse said you would tell me." she rubbed the bandage.

"Yeah we did what we could but you came in with the eye damage on top of magic overload. By some of your mobile suits damage, we can assume it happened in the last battle. We saved it at least but do to the damage you won't see out of it right. The magic overload effected the eye. And the healing magic we had to use to save it made that worse. As a result you will be seeing the magic energy of everything around you through that eye. So you will see the world slightly different then before in terms of color." explained Twilight.

"So I don't lose my eye like I thought but gain a sort of magic view power that I can't turn off? I guess I should be thankful." she said with a sigh.

"Yes in a way I'm a little jealous, you get to see the everyday magic we ponies use in a away vary few can. In fact to mimic it takes a very complex spell." said Twilight as she sat on the bed keeping the camera of her phone on her.

"I see and I guess this is being recorded for the official records? Well then I gave you my name what else you wish to know your highness?" asked Sofie.

"Please call me Twilight. As to what we want to know. Why you join Zeon and about your mobile suit." said Twilight.

"Well believe it or not was once a federation navy officer." Twilight's eyes went wide. "I guess you talked to the Captain Johnson and some of the other long time Zeon soldiers." Said Sofie.

Twilight nodded and said. "Both Jay and Fritz."

Sofie flinched "Wow ok those are a pair of bad stories but not the worst. As I said I was with the federation but I defected. My C.O. had trapped a squad of Zeon on a island after thier transport crashed there. The captain of the ship wanted to bombard the island but had to wait for more ships to do so. But there was a town on the island. When I pointed it out he said we can blame it on the Zeon. We will just say they attacked them and we fired trying to save them. I punched him out and fled the bridge before I could be arrested. I literally jumped ship and swam ashore. I walled around calling out for the Zeon troops that's when I met the big guy he was a chief petty officer then. I told him what was coming and about civilians. He and his men then risked his own life to not just protect the island's inhabitants but to capture the ship. The former feddy captain and his crew where left there as we and the islanders left on his ship. The distress call lead the feddy fleet to think the smoking ship was fleeing the island bound Zeon. Which I helped with selling by radioing as much as we passed. The fleet then leveled the island. The feddy nazi command must have hit the roof when they figured it out. I was made a Zeon captain and joined a new amphibious unit as the commanding officer I was surprised that it was the same unit I saved." she smiled "Not all Feddy soldiers are evil but a lot of those in power where. So I switched to the side fighting for the right reasons."

"I am vary happy to know that there are some good ones it gives me hope that they will rise up to right the wrongs being done like you did. Though the idea that you tricked you former comrades to killing each other has me a little sick. So what is your suit now? Is it still a amphibious unit?" said Twilight trying to stay on task.

"I guess you have not see much war then. As for my suit, it's a MSM-07E called a Z'Gok-E it's a special forces version of one of the mane amphibious suits. My suit has only built in weapons 2 hand mounted beam cannons, six head mounted torpedo launchers, and then the suits claws. It has no other weapons but is more at home in the water and is better in close combat then most suits save the Gouf or Efreet those are built to be up close and personal." she explained.

"Oh so this place you fought at was on the water, why did you escape on foot then?" asked Twilight.

"Two reasons. First we lost to many of the amphibious suits. We had fifteen at the start that the other fifteen regular suits piggy backed in on. The other is our submarine that brought us had to bug out. That means our only option was to make our way north to Zeon held territory." Explained Sofie.

"I see thank you Sofie. I'm sure my fellow princesses will find this vary interesting. I'll ask the nurses to bring you some food." said Twilight as she got up.

"Thank you. Not just the for getting food for me but talking with me. Even if they trust me only the captain and big guy talk to me. The others keep me at arms length cause my past." she said.

"Well here in Equestria, we believe in friendship can overcome anything. Maybe now that your here they will open up to you." said Twilight before closing the door and sending the recording.

======================================
Next interview.

Twilight entered the next room as the nurse was taking the dishes out with a smile. Twilight looked at the man on the bed then to the nurse. "Nurse Sweetheart please see that the others are taken food as well same dish." the Nurse nodded as the door closed.

"So you're the Princess of harmony. Twilight Sparkle I believe the nurse said. Your shorter then I expected, but as reagle as I expected. The royal color of purple suits a princess. And you have it for your eyes your fur and mane. Even with you being a different race I could see you as a bride to one of Dagwins sons. But I guess I'm going of topic I am Lieutenat Commander Tomes Cerk, my height is sevsn foot ten inches. Most my friends call me big Tom or the big guy. What would you like to know Twilight?" asked Big Tom.

Twilight smiled as she focused the camera of her phone on large blond man. "It's nice to have such a relaxed conversation Big Tom. The last 3 where... instance. They being Captains, Jay Johnson and Sofie Fang, and the Petty Officer Fritz Hammond. I asked them the same things I'm asking you. Why you joined Zeon and about your suit." said Twilight.

"I see well I joined cause my father was in the colony defense force of side three the Zeon home land I went to the academy there when the war broke out. I fought in some of the biggest battles. Lume, operation British, then was stationed at California base. Joining Zeon was just defending my home and freedoms. My suit is the Hygogg amphibious mobile suit, model number MSM-03C. The weapons are its obvious claws as well as two hand mounted beam cannons, four torpedo launchers two machine cannons mounted on the body. She is simple in load out but good. Is that all you needed?" said Tom.

"Yes and thank you it's nice that not all of the stories are as tragic as the others I heard so far." said Twilight.

"Yes but the worst is still to come sadly. But please come see me again we can play a broad game chess maybe?" said Big Tom.

Twilight hit send on the phone. "That would be lovely Big Tom. Oh and Sofie will be fine her eye is healed. She won't see like she did before but she will still be able to use it."

"Thank you for that I was worried. I owe her my life so it's good to know she will be ok." He said to Twilight as she leaves.

==================================
The hall again.

Twilight's phone chimed.

'Wow He is almost is as tall aunt Tia!'-Cadence

'I know right but so soft spoken. He is defiantly going to feel at home, also the way his eyes let up when I told him Sofie was ok. I think he might like her.'-Twi

'Seeeeeequel, oh that's so nice to hear. Perhaps we should give them some help in that area.'-Cadence

'Maybe we will see where it goes on there own first. Oh Nurse coming gtg.'-Twi

"Princess Twilight good timing. Another woke up I was taking her her food."Said nurse Tenderheart.

"In that case I'll take it to her." said Twilight as she took the tray cart and headed to the room.

====================
Lieutenant Commander junior grade Samantha 'priest' Colt, five foot nine busty figure, blue eyes, Brown hair. Age thirty one.

Twilight walked in on the woman praying. "Stars above us thank you for saving us from our end, bringing us to this new and wondrous world, thank you for the food I am about to receive, and please guide our fallen brothers and sisters to a place where there souls can find the pace that this world seems to be blessed with. Amen."

The woman smiled "I'm Lieutenant Commander Junior Grade Samantha Colt, I understand my last name has a funny value here. Please call me Priest. My unit has since I joined." She reaches out with her good arm the other in a cast from the fall.

Twilight set the tray on the bed letting her start eating as she set up the camera. "I never new that humans pray to the stars. Is it common?" asked Twilight.

"No, it's not but the six hundred and sixty sixth accepts my belief and often asks me for prayers. Though my last where not strong enough it seems." She looked at the cast. "That aside I'm happy that we have been given this chance. You are Princess Twilight I believe?"

Twilight nodded. "Yes I'm recording my talks with all of your unit so the other princesses can see it." said Twilight.

She smiled after a drink of apple juice. "Then I like to say thank you directly to you Princess Luna. If not for the mercy of your stars I can only think me and my companions would have perished that day. So thank you Goddess of the night." she said straight at the camera bowing her head slightly.

"I am sure she will wish to meet you in person soon." Twilight said with a smile. "Now how about you tell me and the other princesses, about your mobile suit and how you came to be a Zeon officer."

She nodded. "My suit is the Zeon rapid assault suit MS-09F/trop known as a Dom Tropen. The word Tropen means tropical. It is made to endure the harsher invironments of our home world's tropical regions. In the chest is a flash blinder in stead of the stranded beam spray I had it switch cause I felt it was the more useful tool, the weapons I use is the heat sword all Doms have, the massive RB-T27 880mm raketen bazooka witch was on the skirt rack on the back. My preferred weapon is the two MMP80's the 90mm machine guns I carry. With the high speed of the Dom and its strong armor the blinder flash and twin MMP80's are most effective in my experience." explained Samantha.

"Wow, so you are often the first in to the fight... You are vary brave to do that." said Twilight.

"Thank you, why I joined Zeon is personal. But I will tell you before the war me and my late husband ran a orphanage out the church of the stars. It was a small church with a old telescope in the tower. Then as the war started and the draft came for my husband and the older children. We refused, he then told them, the stars told us that fighting for the federation would doom the world and our souls. Enraged they shot him as a traitor and dragged away the children and burned the church. Jay found me living on the street preaching against the federation. He recruited me to his band. When he joined Zeon I did too. Save your tears I know my children would not have obeyed the federation, so they are likely safe in a prison waiting for Zeon to free them." She said wiping away some of Twilight's tears.

"It's so sad you and so many have to suffer like that." Twilight said.

"Yes but with out hard ship a soul can't grow. The stars may not always be gentle with our fates but they always lead us to the lessons we need most." said Samantha.

"Thank you. Maybe Luna and I can teach you our stars later." said Twilight

She smiled brightly. "You are vary kind. I would love to, thank you." she said as Twilight left her to finish her meal.

========================================
Hospital cafeteria

Trixie had come to tell Twilight the rooms are ready, and to play more of Twilight's phones app games.
"So when will everypony have one of these?"asked Trixie.

Twilight sighed As she poked her salad. "Well there divided on some issues in the house of nobles. Some think only those in the government or wealthy should have them, a second group push for military only. The last side with Luna and Celestia in the view everypony should be aloud to have one. Then there is the cost issue, The princesses want it to be a service provided by the crown, Blue Blood is saying they should charge high prices and tax on such a luxury item, and others are saying to charge for the apps separately and by the minute for phone use. This is what's delaying the release. We have all ready reverse engineered them. So once the courts figure that stuff out we can start getting them out. And don't worry even if there are restricted being friends with a princess has perks." said Twilight making Trixie smile.

"So how are the interviews?"Asked Trixie.

"Well thanks to Captain Johnson, his unit is being cooperative. But their stories. Are all so sad, the federation government was so corrupt. I'm not surprised they started a war for independence. Jay has the the most visible scars. Being branded on his face like that. But his are not the worst, and there are two left. Would you come with me for the last two. I don't think I have it in me to do them alone. Not if they are as bad as the last one." said Twilight

"Ok the Great and Powerful Trixie will be your shelter in this storm of hardships!" Proclaimed Trixie with a flare... then there was a you lose sound on the game she momentarily forgot she was playing causing her to look back at the phone as Twilight giggled.

==========================
The next one to wake was Lieutenant May Tachibana, Asian, five foot five inches, Athletic build, black hair and eyes.

Twilight and Trixie entered the room to find her doing push ups despite the fact she had three broken ribs from the impact. Trixie started filming.

"Konichiwa, Princess. I am May Tachibana. Last of the Tachibana clan and a Lietenant of the Zeon ground forces." She said as she continued her work out.

"Hello May. I take it the nurse told you I was coming, this is Trixie she is recording the interview for the other princesses to see. So if you can spare a moment...... um why are you doing that while injured?" said Twilight.
She stopped and sat on her knees and toes. "A samurai can not let defeat stand. It is there duty to take revenge. My body is in pain yes but it can still move so I will train it." she said her eyes like steel.

"I take it your the owner of the one sword in the inventory of weapons?" asked Twilight.

She nodded "Yes your highness, as well as the two revolvers. Both are family heirlooms. The sword is from my father's clan The Tachibana had been a long standing family in Japan the place I was born. My mother was a American and her family are from Texas. Here ancestor was a ranger and those are his revolvers. When can I have them back?" said May.

"Soon you and the rest of your friends will get your things back as well as new clothes and a place to stay in my castle." said Twilight.

"Thank you, Princess. I will repay your kindness somehow." said May bowing deeply.

"That's not necessary. From what I heard you and the others have been through Tartarurs, and not just your last battle. But if you feel you need to repay me, would you please tell me about your suit and how you came to join the Zeon forces?" replied Twilight.

"That is hardly fair payment but if it is all you wish I shall tell you what you want to know. Also you have my sword at your call should you need it." she said as she bowed again. When she strained up again she looked Twilight in the eyes. May's seemed to hold a the force a of a storm in them. "I was born in Osaka Japan, my family has been influential there for many centuries going back to the days of the shogun. My father was the current head of the family and the leader of our mountain side town. When I was six the federation government wanted to turn the town to a mining factory. But my father and others stood up in protest. We had stood against change for centuries living by traditions older then my vary clan name. The people stood up in protest many including my father wearing there family armor. The federation sick of the delay and annoyed that we clung to the past ordered a pair of attack helicopters to open fire. It was a massacre. My father was killed and my mother lost her leg. Those that survived where forced off the planet. Me and my mother found our selves living in the slums of a colony in side five a year later she died of illness on my eighth birthday. I took my father's sword and mothers guns, and left everything else in the sheet metal shack to the other poor to have. Form then on I lived as a thief and bandit in the colony. Then this year the war came Zeon took the colony early on and started handing out food. I was now twenty three and known as the most dangerous woman in the colony. But the Zeon commander in charge saw me for who I was and what I went through. In the week I knew him he gave me purpose. Had me help keep the peace in the food camps. Then the federation started the attack on side five destroying the colonies. The commander stuffed me and group of children in a life boat and told me his last order for me is to see the children to safety. Then he sealed the life boat and launched it we drifted for three minutes before we saw our colony collapse from nuclear fire. It was three days before a Zaku found us. I enlisted on that Zaku's ship and was sent to the front by my own request. I bounced from one unit to the next till I was sent to the six hundred and sixty sith. The captain put me in one of the new Gouf suits at the time. That's when my skill in close quarter combat was made clear. When a Efreet was given to us. One of the only eight built. He chose to give me the honor of flying it. I remember his words that day. 'I like my Gouf flight type to much so I will keep my wings and give the new sword of Zeon to you.' That was the greatest gift in my life. I swore I would bring victory with this suit and peace to the angry souls of those killed by the federation." Twilight had tears in her eyes once again Trixie behind her was fighting back her own just barely in a effort to keep her vow from earlier. May was scary calm. "Thank you for lessening to the whole tale. Many can not. You can have a moment to regain your composure princess." said May her eyes closing.

Fore the next five minutes minutes Trixie held Twilight as she cried in to her shoulder. When that was over Twilight fixed her crown and faced the patient May. "Tank you for waiting. Tell us about your Efreet. Given how few there are it most be important to you." said Twilight

"Yes it is. The MS-08TX Efreet is basically a prototype that is being field tested. Mine has two vulcan guns in the head, smoke launchers, a arm mounted three barrel 35mm machine gun like the captain's suit on the left arm, a ZUX-197 Jagdgewehr Shotgun and a 360mm giant bazooka old model of a Dom standard, then there are the four cold darts witch give a shock that fries a suits systems but they need recharging after each use. The last weapons are the two long blade swords one is a cold the other a heat, both have the same shape katana like shape. The last weapon is a heat halberd witch I tend to favor for its reach. Is that all?" said May.

"Yes thanks for your time and please mind your injury I would hate to hear you hurt yourself worse." said Twilight.

May bowed "As you wish. I will check with the nurse or doctor as to how much exercise I can do till my ribs heal." Twilight smiled as she left.

===========================
Hospital hall

"Ok that one is sent. That might be the worst one." said Twilight.

Trixie was now letting her tears out. "She is so strong to be able to tell that tale with out crying."

"No, she hurts but she is just numb to it. She has buried her pain so deep that she lost her ability to cry. Her duty is her sole driving force for her life." said Twilight wiping away some tears.

Nurse Tenderheart came out of the last room. "Princess the last one has woken when you ready."

==============================
Twilight entered the last room with Trixie to see a human male with his leg in a cast drinking from a flask on a cord. The dark skinned skinny man was five foot in height had short brown hair with a little gray, and a handle bar mustache and goatee. "Bonjour, madamoisle. You must be the lovely princess Twilight Sparkle the young Nurse Tenderheart went to fetch. I would stand and salute but as you see my leg was broken by my Kämpfers crash landing in your lovely world. Oh where at my manners. I am Ensign Pierre D. Lafayette, lover of drink, ladies and the all the good things in life. I must say that your world has plenty of delights for the eyes and not just the lovely mares." He points to the window out of witch you could see Canterlot. "A city perched on a mountain with a water fall cascading down. I might take up painting again."

Trixie was blushing as she filmed as Twilight asked her questions "You are a painter?" asked Twilight.

"Once upon a time I was. I was born in a colony with a large French population I my self being half French ancestry I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great arrest of old. But the war started I returned to the colonies took up the Zeon banner and mastered the art of war and explosives. I am a demolition expert. It is my privilege to both set up the demolition charges to destroy federation base and bridges, and to disarm explosive traps and mines they leave to assassinate our troops." He said with pride and his French flair.

Twilight smiled. "It's nice to hear you did not suffer like you comrades did." said Twilight.

"Yes my brothers and sisters in arms have felt the cruel boot heal of the federation on there throat's when I leaned of theirs and others stories of injustices, I volunteered for the special forces to be able to use my skills with the art of explosives to the most both saving lives of my fellows and ending those of Federation soldiers." said Pierre.

"So you mentioned you suit before. Tell us about it?" Asked Twilight.

"My MS-18E Kämpfer,a work of art in its form. It has two beam sabers, such elegant weapons those are. For range combat it has two shot guns and two of the newest model 360mm bazookas. It also has a pair of those pop guns on the head called vulcans, but they are little more then anti personal weapons, with as little punch they pack. Is my kämfper in one piece?" said Pierre.

"Yes it is. Thank you, and I'll have some painting supplies sent for you. I'm sure my fellow princesses would love to see your work." said Twilight.

The joy on Pierre's face was priceless. "You are as kind as you are lovely Mon sherry! I will have to paint your portrait when I am able to walk again. This room would not do for a back drop."

Twilight smiled "I will make sure you get a chance. Me or one of my friends will be by to check in on you. In the mean time get some rest." said Twilight as her and Trixie left.

=================================
Castle of Friendship the next day counsel chamber.

"I must say, they are a interesting bunch. And that Pierre, what a charming stallion." said Rarity.

"Your right about them bein' interestin'. Hard to believe that Captain Johnson was once a farmer. I mean I can't see him as one but when I talked to him about his old farm he was honest and strait forward they did things different but he new his crops." said Applejack

"Big Tom and Fritz are both nice. When I told Big Tom I took care of animals, he asked about adopting a kitten." said Fluttershy.

"They had so much bad stuff happen to them. When there better, I'm throwing them a welcome to Equiss, Equestria, and Ponyville party!" said a excited Pinkie.

Rainbow Dash was laying across her chair. "That May Tachibana was so intense. She was doing upside down sit ups! Then that samurai stuff. Wow! She is so bad flank. Then there is that Dom suit Priest uses. Hard to believe that bulky thing is that fast." said Rainbow Dash looking at said suit.

"Yeah the biggest shock is Fritz is as old as me and the crusaders. Yet he's a front line solder that saw several battles." said Spike.

Trixie and Sunset sat on pillows on both sides of Twilight the two playing a app game against each other. As Twilight went over the list of what went to each suit. "I've decided!" she said getting everyponies attention. "When they are cleared to leave the hospital, I will offer them the position as my personal guard. They are more qualified then most and have more experience then most the guard and are the only being that know how to use those Mobile Suits. And with their help I could study them and find uses for those kind of machines in Equestria. They could cut down on labor need to farm or maybe construction." said Twilight getting starry eyed.

Her friends giggled but nodded and in agreement.

"Dose this mean Trixie could get one of those Mobile Suits for Trixie's show?" asked Trixie making everypony laugh.

Welcome to Ponyville, watch out for the CMC.

Author's Note

I like to thank Bryan Luna for helping with editing. Also I thank those who like the story.

I also wish to thank the CMC for being some of the most incurable bunch of living reckoning balls. And I would like to thank Dicord for being the glorious bastered he is.

Discord gundam is the suit discord conjured.

Welcome to Ponyville, watch out for the CMC.

The humans stay in the hospital was only another week for most but for Sofie, Peir, May and Priest, their stay lasted a little bit longer tho do to injury. Pinkie made it a point to visit with a get well cupcakes every day. But the end of the month saw the last of the six hundred and sixty sixth realized and moved in to Twilight's castle's guest rooms. The town had gotten used to the others fairly quick. Applejack and Captain Johnson became good friends when he and Big Tom helped with the spring planting. Big Tom just carried the buckets after Jay gave him a lecture about how to plant. AJ and big Mac found it funny that the shortest member was scolding the biggest. The other had made themselves useful waiting for the other four that month. Fritz made friends with Spike and spent his time explaining how the mobile suits worked, as it turns out Fritz had been on track to be a engineering major before the war. Between battles he studied how to maintain the suits and was considering transfer to the maintenance section but the war kept getting in the way. Know the seven reunited soldier stood in the center of town hall in the middle of a one of Pinkie's welcome parties.

Twilight tapped the microphone. "I would like to thank everypony for coming out to officially welcome the three sixes to our world." She said waving her hand over the crowd to point out the guests of honor. "Now we have a something special. I present Princesses Celestia and Luna here to bestow a special honor on these brave humans." said Twilight as she stepped aside. And the two tallest ponies the humans had seen yet walked on to the stage from behind the curtain.

The seven pilot's jaws hit the floor. Luna stood a impressive seven foot eight inches making her just a little shorter then Big Tom, and her regalia sat on her nicely accentuating her gorgeous curves and large bust. Her starry mane flowed in an unfelt wind. Priest's eyes where wide in awe at the site of it. Celestia stood at a stunning eight foot four inches towering over all there. The gold she wore highlighted her white coat and more generous figure if a bit more fuller bodied then her younger sister. Her mane had the sunset sky in it and waved like her sisters.

"Greetings my little ponies. I too wish to thank you for welcoming these seven humans to our world, with open hearts. While they had been recovering from the strain there bodies went through, Princess Twilight Sparkle took the time to interview them and learn about what they went through. In doing so we learned about the pain, lose and hardship the suffered. So much that it would crush the strongest of us. " said Celestia shedding a single tear for their pain for all to see.

Luna then took over. "Yet despite these trials of the soul, these brave warriors took up arms and stood against there oppressors along side there fellows. Tis this conviction and courage we have come to honor today. It is my pleasure as regent of the night along side my dear sister as regent of the day. To bestow a honor that has not been given in over a thousand years." both of their horns glowed bright and seven orbs of light descended down one to each human.

Then together the said, "We dub you of the Zeon six hundred and sixty sixth special forces unit as heroes of Equestria and knight thee as her Knights of Equestria day and night." The glowing balls flashed and hanging around each of the humans necks was a dark blue and white robin holding a gold medallion with image of the Sun and the moon. Pinned to each of there uniforms was a smaller one.

Twilight then took the stage beside her fellow princesses and spoke. "On top of this high honor I would like to personally ask you to become the my personal guard to help protect the peace and harmony of our world. What do you say?"

Big Tom was starring at the medal, Sofie had a look of shock as she held hers. Fritz was wide eyed smiling ear to ear. May held hers to her heart a tear of all thing sliding down her face. Priest was holding hers and saying prayer of thanks now using Luna's name directly in her praying. Pierre was celebrating his medial holding a toast to the princesses, his friends, his comrades back in his world, the doctors and nurses of Ponyville hospital, and any thing else he could think of. Jay there captain remained quite as he walked to stage and hopped up and knelt before the towing Alicorns his short height making them seem even bigger. He then spoke in a voice that was stronger in power then any expected to hear. "Your highnesses, first on behalf of myself and those I command I thank you for this honor." He looked Twilight in the eyes. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, you saved us from the eather with the help of two of your friends, you healed us, repaired our suits, and gave us a place to stay. Not once asking for anything in return. Now you ask us to become your guard and protect you nation. I can only say one thing to this." He stood slowly and quite. The crowd had become silent the tension building. "The first Equestrian mobile suit unit, is at your service you highness!" He said snapping a salute. The crowd went wild with cheers and a few whistles.

Twilight smiled and returned the salute, then said. "Thank you Captain Johnson. I can only hope you will only need to preform parade duties, but all of Equestria can feel safer with you and your troops on duty."

Then Pinkie shouted "Now kiss him!" making the everyone human and pony crack up.

Celestia with a mischievous smile walked passed Twilight took the captain in her grasp lifted him of his feet and gave him a full on Prench kiss getting several whoops and whistles from the pilots and a gasp from the crowd. She set him down and then said "Pinkie was right the moment need some pony to kiss the good captain and it's been well over a few hundred years seance the last kiss I have had."

She and her sister started gigging as the captain and Twilight just stare blankly. "Did I just get Frenched by a Sun goddess?" He asked. Twilight could only nod in shock

===========================================
Morning two days later, castle dinning hall.

"Well it's hit the Canterlot Herald. So all Equestria has seen the picture of the Princess Celestia literally sweeping Jay of his feet. Look at the headline, I'm sure Prince Blue Blood hit the roof when he got this dropped on him." said Twilight dropping a news paper on the table.

"Oh my. They got a good picture at least. Princess Celestia Prench kissed Princess Twilight Sparkle's new Captain in public. Looks like you are going to be a popular person with the press, mon captain." said Pierre holding the paper.

"So what doesn't change our job. Which reminds me. Big Tom, Sofie, your on court detail. Get in that shiny new armor we where given. May you get today off, which means you are going to be racing Rainbow Dash as you been talking about. Just keep it out of town. Priest you are on train escort in the Dom. Those cars will have almost all our ammo in them. Make sure it gets to Canterlot even if you have pull the train with your Dom. Also over see the techs messing with it so they don't blow the city off the mountain. Pierre you and me are in suit patrol, after we load the train cars. Fritz you get the what I'm told is the short straw. Your foal sitting literally. After you help with the ammo, you are to head Sweet Apple Acres. Granny Smith is ill and Big Mac has to work while Applejack takes care of there grandmother. So you get to hang out with that bunch of firecrackers called the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They are AJ's little sister Apple Bloom, their cousin Babs Seed, Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle, and the Rainbow Dash's one pony cheering squad Scootaloo. I'm told they are trouble magnets. Maybe you and that Zaku can keep them in line or at lest scare away any really big trouble." Jay ordered.

"Sir! Yes sir!" The other six said.

Twilight gave Fritz a apologetic smile "Be careful Spike was in the hospital for a week last time he had to spend a day with the CMC. They can be a handful, on a good day." she said.

Fritz blinked and said. "They put a dragon in the hospital? How?" He asked looking at Spike who seemed to have vanished from his seat at some point

================================
Train station.

Fritz set down the last of the stacks of ammo on the train car. Then stepped back to let the ponies lash down a tarp over it. "I feel like I'm in a worker Zaku not a Zaku Cannon." said Fritz over a open channel.

Pierre popped up on a small screen in the top left. "If the Princess gets her way you might see them here Fritz. Madamiosel is certainly set on advancement. Princess Luna is also throwing in with it pushing for a space program after Priest told her about how common space flight was."

All sudden Jay pops up. "Hey Fritz don't you have a date with some young mares? It's bad manners to keep them waiting." scolded the Captain, making Fritz jump.

"Sir! Yes sir! On my way now sir!" shouted Fritz snapping a salute be fore grabbing the controls and heading out at a run as the com channels closed. It didn't take long for Fritz to reach the farm waiting at the the gate was Applejack. Fritz zoomed in on her as he approached. He could not help but blush slightly all the lovely and fine figured mares in town. With only fur covering them he was given a good view of the locals. On top of that he'd heard last night from Spike that there was a average of four mares to every one stallion. This gave him more then a few fantasies last night. He queues up the external microphone and speaker. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting long." he called to her.

Applejack smiled "Na' I just waited till I heard that tin can of users stompin' down the road. The came out to meet y'ah. The crusaders are in their tree house. Y'all need me to show ya' to it?."

The Zaku straightened up and its eye slid back and forth looking at the field. It lifted up it's arm and pointed out to the fields. "Is it the one by the pound over there?" Fritz asked.

Applejack was amazed that he could spot it. But then again she didn't know how those, suits as they called them moved much less how they steered them in side the chest. "That be it. Just don't step on any of ma' trees or fields, with your big toy."

Fritz smirked "Yes ma'am, I'll park it in the pound." said Fritz.

Applejack's eyes widen as suit started to move before she could answer him. It walked along the fence line shaking some of the ripe apples of the trees. It stopped turned toward the fields Applejack pales as it looked like it was going to hop in to the orchard. Then she heard a high whine as a flames started to build up on the back of the suit. There was noise like she never heard and the giant suit took off. "Sweet Celestia they can fly!" said Applejack as she watched it sail clear over the trees and land beyond them.

Fritz smiled He love the look people gave him when they saw his suit jump. It took a timed mid air boost to clear the field but he did it landed right in the pond. He turned his suit to face the tree house and zoomed in on it he saw the four girls he was going to spend the day with looking out the window at his Zaku. He set his suit to standby mode making it kneel before opening the hatch. When his feet touched on the dock below, his suits hatch the girls where running to him shouting and pointing with excitement. It made him feel good, to make them smile. Even if he had only met three of them once at Pinkie's party.

"Wow! You see what it did!" Shouted Sweetie Belle.

"I think they saw that in town!" Shouted Apple Bloom.

"Why did no one say they can fly!" shouted Scootaloo her wings spread and twitching with adrenaline.

"You guys weren't kidding! That thing is big as a dragon!" shouted the last who must be Babs Seed.

"Hello ladies, I'm Petty Officer first class Fritz Hammond. I'm one of Princess Twilight Sparkle's personal guards. Applejack asked Twilight to send some one to help you with finding your cutie marks. So I was given the job, cause I'm closest to your ages." said Fritz as he stood at attention in front of the CMC his new purple duty uniform making him look impressive to the the four young mares.

"Wow. That uniform looks so cool." said Scootaloo.

"I recognize that craftsmanship. My sister made it, that's so amazing." said Sweetie.

"Wait, you are close to our age? How old are you?" asked Babs.

"Well I'm 18. I'm by no means a kid but I am a veteran soldier. I have fought in around twenty battle give or take, even two of the biggest space battles." He said with pride as the four girls seemed to have their eyes locked on him filled with stars.

"You mean you actually saw combat? What was it like? Was it scary?" asked Apple Bloom as she grabbed his arm pushing her mid size young breasts (still bigger then his hand) around his arm.

"Well yeah, and I can tell you all about how about we talk about in the shade of your club house." as soon as he said that the four girls started dragging him to the tree house.

Fritz soon found himself sitting on a pillow with the four mares sitting around him. This was a first for the the young man. Alone with four admittedly attractive and technically naked girls around his age. So why did he have a bad feeling about it and the urge to punch his CO in the face.

"So how did you get a cutie mark that made you the pilot of a giant robot?" asked Scootaloo.

Fritz then decided of all the questions he been asked that be the one he answered. He would regret that. "What is a cutie mark?"

The mares gasped, all four then said "You don't know what a cutie mark is!"

"Um, no, I don't. Humans don't have them." He said feeling a growing pit in his gut that reminded him of his last battle.

Sweetie Belle got up quickly and grabbed a poster board. Drawing several images Fritz vaguely recognizes. Then a pony with its back turned and a mark on its thigh. She points to the image and speaks. "A cutie mark is the manifestation of a pony's talent. Most ponies git them in there early teens, when they realize what there best at." She point to the set of pictures that seem more failure know. "My sister has three diamond cut sapphires for hers, Applejack's is three apples, and Rainbow Dash has the three color lightning bolt coming from a cloud."

She then sat back down. Fritz now recognized the cutie marks of said mares and had remembered starring at some of them on a few mares at the party.

"But the four of us ain't got no cutie marks. We are the last in our grade to get them." said Apple Bloom her and the others ears laid back. All of them having a sad expressions on there faces.

"Hey. Who cares?" said Fritz making them snap there heads up.

Scootaloo spoke up. "Diamond Tiara she and her shadow Silver Spoon, keep picking on us!" she said with huff.

"Oh and what's her talent?" Fritz asked.

The four looked at each other then shrugged. Apple Bloom spoke up. "Her cutie mark is a crown thing."

"I see, is she a princess?" he asked they shook their heads no. "Is she connected to royalty?"

"Only if being a royal pain counts." said Babs, making them all laugh.

"Then what she says means nothing. You girls are beautiful and from the stories vary brave. So what if she has her cutie mark. I'd say if any pony can't figure it out what it means it is not important. I mean look at that cross eyed mail mare. What is her talent? Who cares, she is happy delivering the mail. That is all that matters in life. That you are happy doing what you do or are proud of what you done. I am a soldier cause I was born in to a time that would lead me to be one. But I'm proud of my job. I may have to fight but I give it my all, and I stood proud as the victor in many a battle. I don't regret my life. May once told me, that when you face your end, if you can look back on you life and be proud, then you lived a good life that was worth living. You girls from what I heard from your sisters have done things that most soldiers would be scared to do. I mean sky diving. I did a orbit drop in a Zaku and I was scared inside the lander. You just jumped out of a air craft with out a second thought. That is something to be proud of."

Now the CMC where all smiles and blushing. "Thanks that makes us feel better." said Sweetie Belle.

They then all hugged him, Fritz face went red at this. "Hay how about I take you all on a ride in the Zaku, and maybe Sugar Cube Corner on me as well." Fritz nearly went deaf from their sequels as they hugged him tighter.

======================================
Train rout

Priest felt naked with out the Dom's guns. It meant she had to relay on its sword and speed, and her flash flare. It was not ideal as most the rout was open country.

"You need more passenger room back here it's cramped." Said a distinguished voice from behind her.
She looked back to see a living jigsaw puzzle."Who? What are you?" asked Priest.

"Oh how rude of me. I am Discord, spirit of Chaos and Randomness, in services to her royal Sun but. As to what I'm a draconequus." said Discord.

"Ok. So why are you here and how you get in my Dom?" asked Priest.

"Oh I'm here cause Celestia is worried and wanted some heavy magic along. Given I am the most powerful magical being in Equestria, save the hail Princess Luna the moon goddess lines, and I don't have anything better to do than prank nobles and the princesses. She sent me to help keep a eye on the dangerous cargo. And Fluttershy asked me to as well. As to how I got in here magic." he finished with jazz hands.

"So your my backup for this milk run?" Priest then face palmed "I just jinxed it... every time some one calls a mission a milk run things go bad." she explained.

"Would you feel better with a second mobile suit out here?" asked Discord.

"Yes but th-" she was cut of by a flash then a beep in the Iff and a discord mobile suit appeared along side hers. "Wha- how?"

A com channel opened in and Discord was in the corner monitor. "Magic da. There now you have the kind of back up your used to working with." said Discord

=============================================
Sugar Cube Corner

Fritz sat at the table with the four young mares two on each side of him in a coroner booth. Many of the older ponies (mostly mares) would glance at him and whisper and giggle. Pinkie had told him that guard eat free so he basically just asked for five milkshakes and got them no charge. The girls sucked on their's happily as he sipped his slowly. He spoke up after a minute, "It's strange back on earth the only free food was the military, here they treat the guard like conquering hero. Even in areas that had support for Zeon the people asked us to pay for food, cloths and other things."

Babs broke from her shake to ask. "You mean some places didn't like you guys? Why is that?"

Fritz flinched at the question... "Well you see. The federation did a lot of bad thing both during and before the war. But in the start of the war there was no treaty of accepted tactics. So the federation with greater resources used weapons of mass destruction. I response our forces tried to destroy their central head quarters by dropping a space colony on it. It was is their early days of the war I was in a Zaku one then. If it worked it would have ended the war then and there. But we missed we hit the wrong continent. Killed hundreds of thousands of people that had nothing to do with the war. It also made the biggest man made whole in history." He pushed his drink away. "I was part of that massacre, I know we didn't intend to hit Australia with the colony but we still did. It forced what is called the Antarctic treaty to be made both sides agreeing to never again use weapons of mass destruction. After that I was given a Zaku two and sent to the earth front line. I still feel guilty about that one battle. Big Tom and Peir both say that I shouldn't cause I was just following orders, but....." He felt the girls hug him and smiled. "I'm sorry ladies here we came out to cheer you up and I go talking about the last war I was in."

"It's ok. Sometimes you need to share your troubles so they don't weigh you down." said Sweetie.

"Yeah!" Shouted Scootaloo, with confirming nods from the Apple Cousins.

Then the door chimed and in strutted Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. "Speaking of dampening the mood." said Apple Bloom.

Fritz looked at the two mares in question. Both earth ponies and built like damn models. They knew it too by the way they swayed their hips and pushed by every pony else like they walked on water. "Those the two that bully you girls?" asked Fritz. To which he got slow nods in confirmation.

After buying their orders the two started to a table but stopped when they saw Fritz and the CMC. Then they changed course to come right to them. "Well if it ain't our favorite Blank Flanks! But who is this handsome young colt with you. That's right your Fritz Hammond one of Princess Twilight Sparkle's personal guards. Why are you sitting with these losers?" asked Diamond asked the question she leaned in over table letting her breasts sway in front of Fritz. Then she said. "Why not come sit with me and Silver Spoon cutie. After all a stallion of such high station shouldn't be seen with trash."

Fritz fists tighten under the table. In these two mares he saw all the reasons that the federation government had to fall. "Your right." He said in a calm tone that made the crusaders pale as he lined in to within inches of her face. "And that's why I am staying with these four stunning young ladies, and not going of with a trashy skank bully like you who has to insult and belittle others cause her wealthy parents are to busy to give her the time of day! So why don't you and your ass kissing yes mare go sit in some dark corner and wait for some fat old rich guy to make you his trophy wife!" said Fritz in a tone that sound more like he was giving orders to a recruit.

Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and the CMC where stunned not only did Fritz just say no to Diamond Tiara's face but he out right told her off. Her and Silver Spoon where so taken aback by it they just stood there jaws hanging wide open.

Fritz looked to the crusaders. "Lets go girls I promised you a Zaku ride and I need to blow of some steam or I might, to use a old praise, smack a bitich." With out any need to be told twice the Crusaders left with Fritz leaving a stunned Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon behind.

After ten minutes of processing what just happened "He turned me down?" Diamond asked.

"Both of us in favor of the blank flanks." said Silver Spoon.

"No one. No one! Says no to me!" Diamond shouted before throwing her food across the room hitting the wall by Pinkie's head the mare just looked at the wasted cake slice.

"What are we going to do then?" Silver Asked.

"Simple you and I are going to make Fritz our special somepony one way or another." Said Diamond before licking her teeth. "No colt or stallion ever said No to me before and I'll be bucked if I let those rejects claim him."

Silver smiled and adjusted her glasses. "So we are going to go all out?"

"When we are done with him he will be our plaything as he should be." said Diamond Tiara

========================================
In Fritz's Zaku

Fritz was speechless for two reasons. One he never had this happen before and two Sweetie Belle had her tongue in his mouth as she sat on his lap in the sealed cockpit of his Zaku. To his left Scootaloo had her arms around his her lips on his cheek. On his right Apple Bloom was the same way only she was nuzzling in to his chest as her cousin Babs had her arms around his shoulders and was kissing his other cheek. To say Fritz was red faced was a understatement. Any redder and he would spontaneously combust. When the kisses broke.

Sweetie Belle spoke first. "Oh Fritz! That was amazing! You not only said no to her you put her in her place and left her speechless. It was the coolest thing I ever saw."

Scootaloo took Fritz and turned his head to her and gave him a passionate kiss. Then spoke "Yeah you totally burned her to!" Her wings seemed to be stuck at full spread.

His head was then turned to the two cousins then his lips where greeted by Apple Blooms, as soon as her lips left his he had just the time to gasp before Babs Seeds planted her lips on his. "You are incredible." said Apple Bloom.

When the kiss form Babs broke she said "And you look good in that uniform purple is definitely your color."

Now that Fritz was free to speak he said "It was nothing. Her type are the ones that ran the Federation government I was fighting against. So seeing her act like that, well I just can't stand that kind of person." Fritz started up his Zaku no having a chance when he first got in due to the overly appreciative mares. He started to walk his suit out of town when he caught sight of something. "Hey girls look it's Captain Johnson's suit on patrol." He enlarged the image so they could see. "You think my boost jumps are cool his is flying."
The girls looked on in awe. As the Black and Red Gouf soared overhead. The yellow eye shifted to looked over at the Zaku and gave a salute flying sideways for a full three seconds, before going back on course.

Fritz saluted with his Zaku. "His suit is built to fly fore extended time. He loved flying when he got it. In fact he turned down other suits to keep using it. It's been painted tuned and modified to the point that he is the only pilot that can control it as precisely he dose. He even had its color custom painted."

"Is your suit as custom?" asked Scootaloo.

"No I had it only a week after my last Zaku two-J type got its leg blown of by a type sixty-one. Though I got permission to keep my old heat hawk. So I have one modification but nothing like what the captain's and aces have." said Fritz.

Sweetie snuggled up tighter to him in his lap her tail wrapped around his leg. "Aren't you an ace? I mean you been in so many battles." she asked.

"Well based on the my kill count from the last battle I think I might." He pulled up a stat list. "Lets see. Before Jaburo I had destroyed sixty tanks, three ships, and eighty-three aircraft. In my last battle, I shot down ten aircraft, thirty-two tanks, one ship and wow two hundred and twenty-three of the new mobile suits..." He called up his captain who appeared in a small monitor in the upper right. "Sir I was just going over my combat record... the girls asked you see... And well see for your self." He hit a button. Jay turned his head on the screen.

"Well I think I know where this is going, you want to be made an ace?" Fritz just nodded. "Given what we survived I say put the suit tally on on your side. You earned it I'll see what the others scored but based on yours I think the others are going to have some new looks. Any color in mind? Chief Petty officer?" he said with a smile.

Fritz smiled wide. "Thank you sir! And the girls say the Purple in the uniform looks good on me. Also I would like the pack and shield done up the red of the capes I saw in there club house and their club seal on my shield. If not for them I wouldn't have thought to check." said a happy Fritz.

Jay chuckled "Sure thing Fritz. Oh and be sure you have those four home before midnight now I don't want to have to come looking for you and your girls." the captain started laughing, out right as he closed the channel.

Fritz was red again As the girls hugged, kissed and congratulated him. Their over affection was starting to get to him and if Sweetie's smile and her rocking hips meant what he thought she knew it too. He cleared his throat as Sweetie shifted in his lap so her breast pressed on his chest. "Well I guess I'll need a new rank bars. And it's thanks to you girls. I mean wow a promotion and an ace title."

Babs pumped her fist in the air "Wow, you going to have our crusaders crest on your Zaku!" she cheered.

Apple Bloom bounced up and down. "Your a Ace pilot now that's like getting your cutie mark or something. Given how big y'alls smile is."

"Aces are the best of the best, they get the newest suits have there crest on all there suits and they are paint there choice of colors. There are several I herd of Johnny Ridden the Crimson Lighting, the Black Tri-Stars, Char Asnable the red comet, Rom Ba'Ral the great Blue Star, and our captain, Jay Johnson the Dragon of the Bloody Moon!" explained Fritz, "Aces are infamous among the enemy and national hero's to there allies. Just the sight of them can send the enemy running and rally our troops to fight harder. And now I am one!" Fritz was on top of the world as he throttled up as he and his suit entered a open field out side of town the girls grabbed on to him as he gunned the boosters and went sky wards.

==========================================
Rainbow's practice field.

May was in her new work out clothes a tight gray tank top and matching short shorts. She and Dash where panting as the sat on a hill soaked in sweat and watched the Zaku go by jumping and running for no clear reason they could see. "Looks like the kid is having fun watching the Cutie mark Crusaders. Guess they wanted him to take them for a Zaku ride." she said watching the scene.

"No doubt. I hope they don't get the idea to try and operating one of those themselves they nearly level the the town as is." said RD as she shook her head. "Scoots and them are good fillies but they just seem drawn to trouble sometimes." she sighed.

"Well they're in good hands then. Fritz despite his low rank is good at getting out of trouble. We almost didn't get out. Fritz is quick, with an idea, he followed the river to a wall and made us a door. He is quick on his feet in a fight and sharp as a tack with engineering stuff. But I'm worried those girls will take advantage of his lacking experience of dealing with the opposite sex." said May with a frown.

"Ok. That's bad the Crusaders have a gift for manipulating ponies. Fritz is close to there ages if I recall and all alone with him. He will be putty to them." said RD.

"Should we inform the Cap?"asked May.

"Naaah. It be good for him. Besides with so few stallions out there if anything dose happen I'm sure AJ and Rairs will just be happy there sisters and cousin found a good one... I hope. Now, enough resting let's do another twenty-five laps. We are both elite soldiers and need to be in top shape." said Rainbow Dash with that I'm awesome smile.

"Don't you mean I'm a elite soldier and your just a reservist in a elite unit." said May as she backwards rolled to her feet.

"Oh it's so on!" shouted Dash taking up a ready stance next to her. They heard the Zaku land in the distance making a load thump and both took of RD taking to wing as May set of in a dead run. Both smiling having found someone/pony to train hard with

====================================
Harmony Court

Twilight set a time for holding court that would let any pony drop in and ask for her aid. To encourage this Celestia's Day Court took lunch while Harmony Court was in session. But given its location few made the trip, if they lived in Canterlot but the ticket to Ponyville was cheaper then to Canterlot so more common ponies would come to see her. But to day she was looking at a pony she never liked. Blue Blood! He walked down the hall like it was his castle Sofie and big Tom in there purple and white gold trimmed armor could see the masked discomfort in there princess. Sofie raised her hand and shouted "That's close enough identify your self." she said hand on her slung assault rifle.

Blue Blood looked insulated which made Twilight smile as she raised her hand. "It's ok Sofie he is prince Blue Blood. My cousin by my brothers marriage. He is Celestia's adopted nephew." Sofie relaxed a little but kept her good eye on him her magic eye was covered by tinted lens eye patch so she didn't have to see magic all the time...only when it flares up or is in use.

Blue Blood smiled "Good to see your pet apes are at least some what trained." His comment was answered by the clicks of the receiver bolts of both Sofie's and big Tom's guns being primed. Making the Prince back step.

"Please don't insult my guards Blue Blood unlike the nobles who form your guard in Canterlot mine are veterans of a very bloody and tragic war for their very freedom. So please refrain from angering them. Now why are you here?" said Twilight as she tried to maintain a straight face. She was worried the two soldiers might really kill him.

He cleared his throat. "Have you seen the headlines this morning? How could you let one of your guards kiss aunt Celestia! I mean never mind the fact he's not even a pony he was just a guard!" he said with disgust.

The glares from Sofie and Tom told Twilight that they where likening Blue Blood less and less the more he opened his mouth. "Blue Blood it was Celestia that kissed Head Captain Jay Johnson. Who I reminded you is Knight of Equestria as are those by my side. Is there any thing else? I know you have a house of nobles meeting and you need to be on the next train." said Twilight.

"Yes I came to tell you personally that you bill for production and study of these Mobile suits will be passed with out trouble, these unlike that cell phone are something that will bring great gain to Equestria, the metals to build them will boost mining profits, the tech in them will change how military battles will be fought if we ever need to and combined with our magic advantage it will ensure peace well beyond our.. er I mean my life time. Not to mention the possible other uses you and aunt Luna see for them. In fact my party will even drop our complaint on the cell phone matter given it in light of this is such a small issue, and to show you have our full support." He gave a bow and smile that made every one in the room feel slimy. Before he turned and left with all the pride and arrogance he came in with.

"Permission to accidentally step on him if I see him on patrol?" Asked Sofie.

Twilight sighed "Denied, Blue Blood maybe pompous elitist jerk. But he is useful in keeping the more opulent and egotistical nobles in favor of the crown. Also he really only wants what's best for the nation even if only to keep his position as the most important stallion in Canterlot." explained Twilight.

"So he is like all the federation's government but you use him to keep the worse ones in line?"asked Sofie.

"Yes he being descendant of Princess Platinum helps too as before Celestia and Luna the court of nobles was ruled by unicorns. So that is why they trust that he is doing what's best for them." said Twilight.

"Must be nice having immortal goddess as leaders. Keeps the corruption down." said Big Tom, making Sofie and Twilight laugh.

================================================
Fritz and the CMC in the Zaku Cannon

Fritz had calmed down and was walking the Zaku in the with White Tail woods. The girls are all snuggled up too him watching the view as they headed back to the club house. Then Sweetie Belle said something that took Fritz by surprise. "Fritz you ever think of having a herd?" The other three perk up the the question...

"I don't think that word has the same meaning where I'm from. Jay talked about owning a herd of cattle on his family farm, I am fairly sure you don't mean the same thing." said Fritz with a soft chuckle.

Apple Bloom smiled and explained it. "A herd is when one stallion takes multiple mares as his wives."

"Yeah, sometimes sisters like the same stallion so they share him like how Thunderlane has Cloudchaser and Flitter." said Scootaloo.

"I never considered that...humans usually only take one wife. But then again humans have a more even male to female ratio. So I guess a herd makes sense given the higher number of mares. But I never thought about getting married. I mean I was just thinking about the then and now, in the war. I guess it could be nice. But I'm sure no human girls would be in to it, and none my age around." answered Fritz.

"Well maybe some mares would like you?" said Babs as she pushed her breasts on his shoulders.

"You think so?" Asked Fritz missing the hint.

"Oh buck Rainbow Dash is right military stallions are blind to hints!" said Scootaloo with a huff. She pushed over his arm her hoof hitting a bottom making some music play as she says "Maybe this will get it in to your head." She then kissed him as passionately as she could making the Zaku stop in its steps. Her tongue pushed into his mouth.

Sweetie felt a little cheated being pushed out of her spot on us chest then she got a idea. She leaned in and pushing Scootaloo in tighter, leaning passed her and spoke in his ear softly. "Scootaloo is not alone, I think all of us want to be your herd. You're the only person that stood up for us. You also are the only stallion that sees us as more then blank flanks. The only one that believes in us and comforted us."

When Scoots let up on the kiss had two mares in his lap and the Apple cousins on his shoulder.

"I... I... Oh boy..." Fritz looked from one set of puppy dog pouts to another. "Now I know what Pierre meant when he said when it comes to what a beautiful woman wants you can only say yes..." The girls giggle knowing they won.

=========================================
Pierre's patrol

Pierre had his suits hatch open enjoy the fresh air. He also had the lovely company of a mare, bond mane and tail, light grayish purple fur, and maroon eyes. The mare was was just chilling on the open hatch. "So you never told me your name mon cherie." said Pierre.

"It's Cloud Kicker, I work on the weather team as a storm breaker. You name was Pierre right?" said the mare.

"I am honored a lovely young mare like you would remember my name after such a brief introduction at Pinkie's party. So you are resting on brake or skipping out to wow a man in uniform with you wiles?" asked Pierre.

She giggled "Little of both." She spread her wings arching her back. "I finished the clouds in my section and its nice to just relax and be carried around." she smiled at him.

"You seem like you are the type who goes for what she wants. Not just let the wind guide you." observed Pierre.

The mare smiled and sashayed in and leaned over the monitor. "Is that bad? I mean I have had a lot of fun and always looking for new experiences." she smiled at him.

Pierre keyed his radio. "Captain I'm taking a early lunch so we will still have one suit active while the other the pilot eats sound good? Over."Asked Pierre winking at the Mare.

Jay answered with out opening a view channel. "Roger that. Let me know when your done. Also we forgot to do our tallies from the last battle Fritz made Ace, I gave him a promotion as well. Check over your stats and get back to me after you eat over."

Pierre smiled at the mare. "Roger that Captain over." He turned of the radio. "We have a half a hour." he smiled.

"Only half?" She said pouting. "Oh well it will have to do for now." She climbed in to his lap. As he closed the hatch behind her as the Kämpher came to a stop near Ponyville lake.

================================
Crusaders club house.

Fritz had just gotten the girls back to the club house and they in turn dragged him in to the club house. He was now on his back with the girls undoing his uniform. His lips locked with Babs as his hands where firmly under her and Blooms flanks. As Sweetie was on his chest rubbing his bare skin with her soft fury hands. Scoots had just gotten his pants down.

Then the door swing open "Howdy girls! I heard that big old armor that Fritz has come back and thought.. you... would.... be..... hungry..................." The tray dropped to the floor with a crash as the mares and Fritz stopped and looked at Applejack. "What in tarnation is going on here!!!" she screamed.

Fritz gulped. "Hello again Applejack..... um........ this is not what it looks like..."

"Boy, I'm the element of honesty, so save the tall tales! I see exactly what is this is!" AJ said sternly. The crusaders where now wrapped around Fritz all looking nervous. AJ pointed at the door. "Y'all girls out side! Fritz get your self dressed. We are going to find Raris, Dash and your captain. Then we are going to have a long talk about this."

"Yes ma'am..." said Fritz. As he stood up and pulled his pants up from around his knees.

"Sis, Fritz ain't dun nothin wron-" Apple Bloom tried to protest. But Applejack stopped her with a raised hand.

"I won't hear any of it from y'all. Fritz get dressed and take your suit to the castle and wait there. I'm sure
Rarity will have some choice words for you." Said AJ Fritz nodded.

"Jay is so going to demote me and I just got promoted....." he said with sigh as he walked out.

==================================
An hour later Twilight's castle main hall.

Jay was laughing his ass off, along with Rainbow Dash. When he got call from Fritz saying he was in trouble he told him to tell Applejack to bring the CMC, Rarity and Rainbow Dash to his office in the castle. He stopped Applejack from going off and let Fritz and the girls tell there side of things. This led to Rainbow Dash and Jay laughing themselves silly.

"So let me get this straight. You tell off a bully and then these four throw themselves at you and you wait till you get back to a place where you can have the sister walk in on you and them to go for a roll in the hay." He laughs hard for a minute "Ok. Ok. I need to give you credit, you go to pop your cherry with a orgy for you first time."

"Oh man AJ you caught them with you sisters flank in one hand and your cousin's in the other and her tongue down his throat with Sweets and Scoots on top of him. Bawhaha!" Dash was officially useless now.

The five in question stood against the far wall. The mares blushing with there heads down, Fritz was as red as Big Mac but stood at attention. To his credit he was not trying to shift the blame to the mares and despite the story, he took full responsibility for the event. Saying that he was the one who was suppose to be in charge and that he is at fault for letting thing get out of hand.

"Fritz the fact that you got seduced doesn't make you at fault. But the fact that you did fail your mission to keep these four out of trouble. For the next month you will be doing PT at Sweet Apple Acres by helping them with there work, after lunch you will help Rarity at her shop and then you will clean the dishes here in the castle after dinner. Your promotion will be with held till the end of your punishment understood?" said Jay finally gaining control of him self, something Rainbow Dash could not.

"I thought I taught you better Sweetie Belle. You know that spring heat is not a game and you should have more restraint." Rarity scolded.

"Babs, Bloom A'h know you two know better. Y'all both had sex-ed as well as the family spring talk when Babs got here. What was going through y'alls heads?" asked Applejack.

"We had a pact to be a herd together when we found a good colt." said Babs.

"Yeah and well he stood up for us to Diamond Tiara and he even said he doesn't care about if we have cutie marks or not, that it's what on in side that counts." said Sweetie Belle.

"We couldn't find a better colt if we tried." said Apple Bloom.

"Yeah I mean you seen the colts in this town? Not like we would let them touch us... And his skin feels so nice against my fur feels so good." said Scoots.

Applejack looked at Rarity. "This is going to be a long spring ain't it?" asked Applejack.

Canterlot hussle, the tarnish of the shining city on the mountain.

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.

Sweet Apple Acres 09:00

Fritz was working the fields with Big Mac. Helping him plow. What he hadn't know was that the Apple family pulled a plow rig by themselves. So now Fritz found him self pulling the older plow across a field as Scootaloo sat on a near by fence line.

Watching him with a few wolf whistles and cat calls. Scootaloo being the only member of the CMC that was not in trouble. Given her family gave little to no interest to what she did, and her adopted big sis was more proud then upset. Scoots got of Scott-free. Witch gives her plenty of time to watch her herd mate as he worked.

Which Fritz didn't mind her watching. The fact that big Mac had done one whole field in the time it takes him to do half of one on the other hand...

Applejack walked over to check on Fritz. "How you holding up Fritz?"

"Ma'am, with all do respect. I'm putting in a formal request when I get back to that castle that your family receive the first working Zaku tractor. Cause this work is a back braking and dose not need to be this hard on any one especially when you ponies already have steam engines." said Fritz.

A.J. shook her head. "We never needed any that fancy farm engines they sell. Nor could we afford 'um." she replied.

Fritz sighed. "Good thing Twilight is your friend then. She will probably want to have you sent one so she can get a 'honest' review of its effectiveness on a real farm." He chuckled at his joke before tripping on a rock and falling face first in to the dirt.

Scootaloo cracked up at that. A.J. shook her head and spoke. "Watch what your doing Fritz rock's like that can dent the plow blade, and trip you."

Fritz groans "Yes Ma'am." He said.

======================================
Carousel Boutique

Jay walked in the bell chiming. He was then greeted buy the curvaceous Rarity. "Welcome to Carousel Boutique where everything is chic, unique and magnific." She opened her eyes and saw who was in her shop. "Oh Captain Johnson, to what do I oh this visit?"

"I was out for a walk and noticed that is a little chilly out so figured I order some heavier uniforms for me and my troops." he explained.

"Chilly? But it's thirty seven degrees out side. It's normal warm spring day." said Rarity.

"Wait thirty sevsn is warm here? Maybe in a mild winter back home but spring should be around mid to high forties." he said seeming to pail a little.

"What! No wonder you don't have fur. Oh my how hot is summer on you world?" asked Rarity.

"Well where I grew up it averaged around mid fifties to mid sixties on a hot day it could get up to around seveties to over ninty." Jay answers.

"That is hot! Summer days here in Equestria never get above sixty! No wonder you feeling chilly. Oh I made your uniforms to light. A pony with there fur would be fine. But you humans, need thicker and warmer clothing. I can't believe I was so short sighted. Oh dear I have to start over on all of your casual cloths as well!" Rarity was now pacing and a little distraught at her oversight.

Jay would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy watching her pacing she had developed that runway strut in to her natural stride and it is quite enjoyable to watch her sway. Still he spoke up. "Ma'am calm down, I didn't consider it ether, so it's not your fault. I had placed the order so it's my fault." Said Jay.

"Oh how kind of you to say so. I shall redo all the uniforms and make some jackets for you and your troops as well as redo the casual cloths in a warmer fabric. No extra cost." Rarity said with a pirouette turning to face him her large bust jiggiling freely.

"Damn, these girls really have no clue just how hot they are!" Jay smiled, and spoke. "Then may I at least thank you with lunch, after all what kind of officer would I be if I let you generosity go unrewarded." He gave her a warm smile.

"Oh why Captain, I thought you had thing for princesses." said Rarity.

"Well both Pierre and I have great appreciation for natural beauties." he said with a crooked grin.

=================================
Twilight's castle.

Flash walked up to the towering demon like suits of armor that stood ether side of the front gate both looked intimidating. Massive claws lanky arms no neck, and that's just the two in front he New from when he flew in that two more stood guard at the back of the castle, and three are stalking around the town. He gulpped down his nervousness. "I finally got Captain Armor to approve my transfer in to his sisters service."

Though he was a bit miffed he waited till she found some non-ponies to make her guards. He remembered Princess Cadence falling of her throne in a fit of laughter when she saw the paper. The head line "Celestia Prench kisses newly minted Knight Captain Johnson of the Twilight's royal guard." He himself had choked on his breakfast when he heard the news.

He reached the doors to the throne room and saw a strange site. Twilight's Dragon assistant sitting at his desk by the door with two mares flirting with him.

"Excuse me Prince Spike?" he said getting the mares to giggle.

"Just Spike, please. I may be adopted son to Celestia but I don't do more then assist Twilight. What can I help you with Flash?" Said the young Drake as his guests giggled one stroking his head spines.

Flash was surprised both by how controlled he was with the two mares that where basically all over him, and the fact he knew his name. "I have transfer orders to the service of Princess Twilight." he held the scroll out.

The grayish purple coated unicorn mare took it and unrolled it while holding it up for Spike to read. "Well it looks in order. The Captain is out now so report to Sofie, she the mare in armor on the right side of the throne, and is the units Vice Captain." Said Spike not even blinking as the pink unicorn mare leaned in and started nipping at his ear frills.

Flash took the scroll back and nodded with a "Thank You." befoer walking though the set of doors thinking "Holy horse apples is that dragon really cold blooded or is he used to mares flirting with him as he works?"

He reached the base of the throne and saw Two female guards sitting on the floor playing cards with the Princess and her court mages? He cleared his throat getting there attention. "Um excuse the interruption ladies, your highness, but I'm here with transfer orders." He held out the scroll. Which one of the armored females took.

"So your our first new blood? Flash Sentry, nice name. Welcome to mobile suit forces. When we have a suit for you we will start teaching you to use it. Till then you get to fly a desk." Said Sofie.

Flash's eye's widened. "A desk? But I was top of my class served as court guard to her brother and sister?!"

The other woman chuckled "That would mean a lot if we where a parade group. But how many enemy troops have you killed? How many battles have you seen? How many active deployments?" her words cut him to the bone.

"May is correct. We are a combat unit. Which is another reason why we are Twilight's guards. She always goes in to the heart of the trouble. So we have to follow her and her friends in to it as well." said Sofie

"Don't worry Flash. They will warm up to you. After all the fact that you where transferred here means you meet all the physical requirements to be a test pilot for the first Equestrian made mobile suits, when there made." said Twilight.

The two in armor looked at her."Is that what you and the Captain discussed so late last night? I mean he didn't get back to the barracks till midnight." said Sofie.

"And how would you he got back so late Sofie?" asked May.

"OH! Um.... Well me and um Big Tom did some late night PT you could say." said Sofie by her tone she was blushing.

The other woman groans. "Fucking shit! Me and Priest oh that French perv fifty bits now!" said May as she folds her hand.

Flash stairs at the seen as the princess giggled. "Is the whole guard like this?" he asked aloud.

"Pretty much, but I think it comes from risking there lives together daily for most of a year. They are like a family in a way." said Sunset.

================================
Sweet Apple Acres.

"Lunch time! Come and git it!" shouted Apple Bloom.

Fritz looked up. "Wow Apple Bloom has some set of lungs on her."

"Eeyup." Was all Big Mac said before he unhitched and waved for Fritz and Scootaloo to follow.
Scoots grabbed Fritz's arm and pressed her breasts to it. "You bet she does. Come on let's eat." she started to pull him along.

They reached the farm house. To find a feast on the table, with Babs and AB smiling proudly and covered in baking stuff and in dirty aprons. "We helped Granny cook up lunch for ya' Fritz." said AB.

"Tarnation you and Babs trying for cooking cutie marks?" asked Applejack

"No we just want Fritz to get a good meal, after all that hard work you have him doing, he's not a earth pony after all." said Babs

"And he sure ain't no farmer yet." added Apple Bloom.

"Gee thanks, I think." Said Fritz. As he took a seat.

"Well he'll have some muscle on his bones by time his punishment is up. If he keeps working hard." said Applejack

"Eeyup" added big Mac.

"All I have to say to that is, I'm making sure your farm is on the short list for the Zaku tracker the captain asked me to design for farmers. I swear I'm putting in more work now then in the war." said Fritz with a laugh.

=========================================
Twilight's Castle guard dinning hall.

Flash sat with a pail look on his face. "You eat meat?!"

"Why are most ponies shocked by that?"asked Sofie.

"Rainbow Dash wasn't shocked in fact we had lunch at a Griffin restaurant. She got the fish I had the pork. Fluttershy even helped us find a local butcher. Dash said that lots of Pegasi and some other ponies eat fish regularly." said May between mouth fulls of food.

"Well yeah but most don't, I mean I grew up in Canterlot and it is considered barbaric. Um no offence..." said Flash.

"None taken! Besides if the Captain was here he make some dumb joke out of it. By saying something stupid while talking like a primitive and grunting." Said Big Tom making all but Flash laugh.

"You must forgive my comrades. We have not had much peace and quiet. For most of the better part of the the year was spent fighting for our lives and freedoms. It is a blessing of Luna's stars that we are now in a land of peace. We also thank the holy sisters for sending you to us as you will help us organize this new force that Equestria can soon filed in its defense. Not mention how it will revolutionize your countries technology several hundreds of years forward." said Priest.

Flash blinked.... "Hundreds of years? The news paper said that the powerful armors you have were only a small jump ahead of steam engines and air ships." said a surprised Flash.

They smiled. "That was a lie we suggested, if foreign powers read our papers they see what we want them to thus they under estimate the threat the suits pose if they do attack." said Sofie

Flash looked at them in shock. "You had the princesses lie? To all Equestria?" he said with clear disbelief.

"Even a saint can sin. So we had them lie about the how advanced the tech is. That is basic military politics. Have you read about the Griffons new guns? Whatever they were called again?" said Sofie.

"Long bore Alexanders third in there line of the rifled fire lances. They can shoot a flame in a twenty foot cone or a lead ball 200 yards... It is the strongest infantry weapon to date." said Flash

His new comrades giggled at him. Then May spoke. "And it's now out of date given that our hand guns can shoot that far and our rifles can do ten times that and put twenty bullets though a set of full plate and the next five sets, in under a minute. So the soldiers in this room could stop a regiment of Griffin troops with our back up weapons. It take one suit to stop a army." She smiled "That's why under the full plate we have special armor made to catch our infantry bullets." the humans nodded.

"That's insane.... weapons like that.... why would you even make them or need them?" asked Flash.

"Simple answer is, to kill each other. Our race made up reasons to fight, Honor." said May.

"Justice." said Sofie with stern but distant look.

"Religion." said Priest with a heavy sigh.

Then they all said "Revenge" as one.

The captain at that moment walked in. "A toast to all the brave soldiers of Zeon! May there souls fly among the stars and guide all in our home world to freedom! And may they be avenged by those still living!" shouted the new arrival.

The rest of the group raised there drinks and said. "To the valiant dead that never gave up!" after the toast.

The captain Sat down next to Flash and looked him over. "I ask for warriors, I get a boy scout." he said.

Those in the room laughed. As Flash seemed to growl at his new captain. "Flash Sentry, sir. I was just transferred to your command from the Crystal Empire." giving a salute.

"Oh cut the regs rookie, we are about results, not looks. You can be a falling down drunk off duty, or be a completely off your nut, for all I care. As long as when your on duty you follow orders and can kill the enemies in front of you. Then that is all that matters. Hell my wing man had necklace of human skulls from enemies he killed. So just relax be your self and do what needs to be done." He leans back in the chair and put his boots on the table. "Though I will admit that whole skull necklace was really cool wish I had time search his suit for it when we fled the Federation's HQ."

Sofie made a face. "You wanted that thing."

"I have transferred in to a group of loonies" said Flash as his face and the table got acquainted.

=========================================================
Fritz at Carousel Botique

"Hold still darling as I adjust the sleeve." said Rarity

"I hate this stuff, but warmer clothing is going to be a welcome relief. How you ponies can stand the colder climate is beyond me. In the colonies and on the moon the temperature was set year round to be comfortable." said Fritz.

Sweetie Belle giggled with Scootaloo. "Don't worry Fritz, we can help and keep you warm when winter comes." said Sweets

"Yeah we will defiantly keep you really warm." said Scootaloo.

"Oh really girls. Please restrain your selves. You hardly know young Fritz." said Rarity, with a roll of her eyes.

"Standing right here you know Miss Rarity. It is considered rude to talk about some one with them in ear shot." said Fritz.

Rarity blushed at his chiding. "Oh my... I'm so sorry. That was vary rude of me. Sweetie Belle take Scootaloo and go play a game in your room."

"Awww..." came both mares as they obeyed.

After Sweetie and Scoots where gone. Rarity looked at Fritz. "I must say I'm am some what happy. She hasn't fallen for one of the colts from this town. There are vary few good ones in her generation, and even fewer in mine...." she sighed.

"That is something I was going to ask about. I mean there is, from what is seen in this town a five females for every one male. Priest said it was about three to one in Canterlot. Are male births that uncommon?" Asked Fritz as he now got out of the modified dress uniform he been in.

Rarity despite herself looked over the young man's back. He was too young for her yes but he was still nice to look at thanks to his training. The scar on his arm stood out though.

"Well yes but not that bad it is a national average of two to one. But that can vary heavily from one town to another. Um where you get that scar? I meant to ask when I first measured you but we really where not that we'll acquainted. But seeing as you may be my future brother-in-law..." she asked trying to sound polite.

"Oh that? After I got to earth my first fight was against a stolen Acguy. One of our amphibious mobile suits. I got lucky, fighting it in close quarters. But he had almost got me when his claws hit my Zaku one at the time. One of the claws peirced close to the cockpit I melted through a foot away from my arm gave me a bad burn. But I had got him in his with the heat hawk from a downed Zaku two. It was closer then I would have liked but at lest i lived." Said Fritz with a smile after putting his shirt back on. "What next... big sis..?"

Rarity blushed then hardened her expression. "Don't go trying to butter me up to get out of your punishment. I accept Sweetie Belle's choice of a stud to herd with but you still being punished. Now bring me over those stack of silk bolts, on the shelf there and while you at it, tell me about your parents."

Fritz sighed "Should have known Pierre was wrong with that advice. Well my mother was the receptionist at the local doctors office. My father was actually a Doctor and teacher in the Colonies Med school. So that is why they sent me away for my education. I only got to see them on holidays but it was enough. I had to work hard in school... you know I think Sweetie, Babs, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo where the first girls I ever kissed...." He blinked and looked at the smirk on Rarity's face as she worked

"So you are completely a virgin in all manor of the word?" She giggled at her joke and his red face. "Twilight mentioned you were sent to study abroad, what where you learning to be?" asked Rarity

Fritz clearer his throat. "I was studying engineering. I was on my fourth year. I was sort of gifted student youngest in my class, I skipped several grades." He said trying not to be boastful.

"Skipped grades, youngest in your class? My word it sounds like your a regular Star Swirl the bearded." said Rarity with surprise.

"I'm not sure who that is but. I am the only member in the unit that can rebuild our suits.... hehe I guess I'm sort of a tailor in that respect." He said making a vary corny joke.

As bad as it was it still got a laugh out of Rarity. "My, I guess you just need a forge and hammer to do your sowing."

=============================================
Captain Johnson's Office.

"Look Flash I'll be honest with you having seen your record I'm not impressed. In fact I was going to ask Twilight to hold open recruitment from the civilian population, after seeing the recent guard records. I mean what do you guys train to do? Panic, hide, and wait for a hero to save your tails?" The guard pony looked any where but in his new C.O.'s eyes as he spoke.

"That aside you at least it show ambition. Even if it's clearly to just get in to the princess's bed." Flash looked up face red to see his new captain grinning like idiot. "Yep I can read you like a book kid. So what if you can fly and have at lest foot on me in height. I can read your mind and emotions as plain as day even when you in guard mode. You guys give away to much twitch of eye here, wing there, tail flick. Your whole race is easy to read. Pierre is having a field day seducing all to willing mares left and right. After lunch I saw him saying goodbye to a pair of Twins with vary satisfied looks on there faces." Jay leaned back in his chair.

"That said I'm giving you a chance. You will be assigned throne and desk duty. That means everyday you get up get dressed and stand by her highness in the throne room when she has court. All other times your on paper work clear." Said Jay as he put his boots on his desk.

"Sir. Yes Sir. Sir." said Flash.

Jay looked at him. "Don't call me sir I'm not that old yet. Now get to work here is the supply list Priest brought back from Canterlot at lunch. Cause it's supplies for our unit we have to fill out the forms and give them to Twilight to approve then Spike sends them to Canterlot by fire fax."

He looked over the list once then twice then looked at his captain... "Um... captain why is there so much of it? And why are they digging and construction teams?"

Jay smiled and countered. "Aren't those questions above your pay grade?"

Flash gasped. That is not something regular guard captains would say. If something was for a project that was hush hush then they at least gave a excuse or a reason they can't explain, but never before had one blatantly said, You are not high enough to ask that. as Captain Johnson just did. It actually hurt a little.

Jay could see the 'kicked puppy' look on Flash's face. He just smiled. "Welcome to Mobile Suit Corps rookie try not to get stepped on."

Jay knew he was making Flash hate him. That was good he had to retrain this pony, and first he had to brake him. On the other hand this boy scout is going to be a pain in his ass.

Building the future. Zeon corporation.

Captain Johnson's Office

"Zeon Corp? Building Equestria's future?" said Jay as looked from the paper to Twilight.

"Well it was Luna's idea. She thought naming the company that the crown started to make the new technology after you former nation was a good way to honor your contribution to Equestria." said Twilight

"It's more then honoring us it honors all of our comrades, back in our world." He reaches in to his pocket and pulled out some beads on string. "Though I let Priest say her prayers to the stars and all I am myself a Buddhist. I like to think that this is a sign that good and brave souls of our dead comrades will be reborn into this world we are making." He had some tears in his eyes. "Next time you speak with her tell her I thank her. Not as a Zeon Captain, not as yours, but as a old soldier wanting a better world."

Twilight blushed at amount of honest sentiment and pure emotion that was hardly ever shown. "I will and thank you for having the trust in me to show your feelings like this."

"Just know I'll deny it in public. I have to keep my reputation. Otherwise all the runts like Flash will not respect me." said Jay drying his eyes. "Back to business Pierre has been up to his old games over the last month. Which means he has been in a very large number of mares beds... And given he has been staying in the same place for so long I'm worried he is going to get in trouble..."

"Thankfully to Rarity and Pinkie I have kept track of his um... extracurricular activity. So far he has been with the same five mares on a regular base but still flirts with others. So far it's not a problem but he did get right hook from one mare's mare friend, it is the only complaint on him. He is on throne duty today with May, so her and Dash will talk to him." said Twilight

"At least he is keeping it low key then. He has some bad habits. But I never cracked down on him or any one for that kind of thing. As long as they did there job it was no big deal. But now.... I actually have to keep a eye on the few that are left... Princess I'll tell you a important secret about being a leader."said Jay scratching his head.

"Oh what's that?" asked Twilight

"It sucks." said Jay with a smile making Twilight laugh.

==============================
Ponyville

Flash was miserable on his day off. He regretted his choice, yes he was closer to Twilight, but now... He had to earn respect with his new unit, just to get off desk duty. On top that they had him studying to test a new armor giant weapon for them. He sighed As he looked at the book. The manual was not that thick, but he had to memorize it before he would get training in one of the current suits. "Why is this so complex!" he shouted.

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle had been passing by and laughed. "That's cause your a idiot." said Scoots

"I agree Fritz lent us his book to read and promised to teach us to pilot his Zaku. All of us Cutie Mark Crusaders passed it. It's really easy." said Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah I mean if you can't get that you must have been dropped on your head more then I have crashed." said Scootaloo.

"Yeah right like you fillies know this stuff." said Flash.

They Smiled and started walking by while Scootaloo said "For long range shots you have to correct for terrain, wind speed and the rounds drop rate." Leaving Flash's jaw hanging down. He had read that a hour ago but she new it by heart.

Sweetie Belle waved and said "It was really easy for us to learn."

Flash just groaned "Please don't let the captain hear about this...."

=========================
CMC club house a hour later.

Fritz had just finished setting up a test simulator. He got permission to build it and test it in the CMC Club house. He asked to build it there cause it was secluded and no one would look for a training simulator on a farm. Also he had promised to teach his herd how to pilot a suit.

His fist problem came from materials and power. Both would be a issue for the mobile suits he was going to help build. He solved this in the library looking up power sources in Equestria as well as available materials. His marefriends made that hard to do but he got them distracted. By having them study for a piloting test. He had to admit when they passed easily he was starting to believe in the whole power of love thing.

"Ok final checks." He said as he started it up. He had to get a lot of magical help in the computer set up. He used the simulator as a test bed for the new cockpits adding in some extra comforts for pilots. Like better padding, stronger safety restraints, and a locking storage rack behind the seat for cargo.

He set the simulator up with his old mission data. Everything from when he first deployed to his last battle. "Given I'm the rookie of the force, how far they get and there record compared to mine will be a good gauge for new pilots." He thought out loud

"Dose that mean it's finished?" asked Apple Bloom with a smile. Her and Babs had helped with assembly.
"Yeah you two can go while we wait for Sweetie and Scoots." said Fritz.

"Yeah!" Shouted the two mares. Fritz chuckled.

===========================================
Three hours and four CMC turns in the simulator later at Sugar Cube Corner

"Buck it Fritz, what was that difficulty set at? I barely past most the missions and that last one was insane." said Babs.

"I know that's some crazy test you set up." added Sweetie.

"Actually the missions and scoring is based on my personal combat record. You where being graded against my record and skill and I'm the lowest rank in the unit with the exception of Flash." said Fritz.

"Wait all those where the battles you fought in?"asked Scoots

"Yes and I set my performance as the base line for a B rating." said Fritz

The girls gasped. Scootaloo had done best with a over all B-, Babs had a solid C, both Apple Bloom and And Sweetie Belle had D+ rating. Knowing that Fritz had set that his past experiences in those same battles is Standard for B made it hurt less, but still barely passing.

"Hey look at this way you passed high enough that you can get civilian suits when there available. It's not like I was teaching you girls to fight in them the fact that with only reading a book you girls did that well speaks volumes about you natural aptitude." said Fritz

"Yeah your right." said Apple Bloom

The put their hands together and shouted "Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"Come on girls quite down you shakes are melting. Besides I was talking with gang last night on what kind of suits would be good for civilians. Brain storming ideas. They said I should ask you girls. So?" said Fritz before taking a bite out of his cupcake.

"I want fast one for racing or maybe a flying suit like the Captain has." said Scoots her wings buzzing

"A simple one I could use to help my sister with her deliveries maybe?" said Sweets

"Maybe some to help with building. We all know you are planing one for farming." said AB with a giggle.

"Well your family can benefit from it. Cut down the time hard jobs takes, and you can get more of them done. Work smarter not harder." said Fritz.

======================================
Canterlot under the city old mines royal secret research lab.

The munitions research was going good. Gunpowder was non-issue same for the casing and rounds. The explosive warheads took some time and a few close calls. Enough that many believe that Priest's prayers where actually protecting them. The major problem was replacing the fuel for the Gouf's flight engines. It took many tries to to get the potent mix of available chemicals.

Priest shook her head. "The chemicals needed to fuel flight engines don't over heat as quickly as tradition fuel but has to warm up before it can be used. We can't use it in space, we need a fuel that can be uses in subzero temperatures. As well as under water. We need a better mix or to find a large oil deposit somewhere to make more jet fuel, this could be a problem."

"If I may may?" Priest looked at the pony in a lab coat. "We can use magic engines to get into orbit why not convert that technology to our needs."

"Because you ponies are to dependent on magic. Yes it has advantages. But relying on anything that completely is a handy cap. Many times in the war we would get out of our mobile suits and handle things with stealth and hand to hand. " explained Priest.

"That is... unheard of. Why change what works?" asked one lab pony

"Because that's the edict of the holy sisters with forming this company. To do new things. You are the brightest minds in Equestria. Now is the time to think of new things, new idea's, to change your world." said Priest. Trying to inspire them...

Her response was just nervous glances and worried murmurs...

"My dear Priest, you asking to much of them. They are only ponies after all. Vary few can think outside the herd mind. That's why Luna and Twilight had to fight to get a few technical advancements they did pushed through. Most ponies are afraid of change. You need to find ones that are maverick thinkers." said Discord who had come to hang out with his new friend as she worked.

"Yes I agree I'll tell the princess we have the weapon research done but the fuel problems need a more out of the box thinker, somepony that is more creative and inventive." said Priest.

"Oh no, let me do that you have to set up production lines to start making more ammo for you and your friends." said Discord

Priest smiled as Discord magically changed in to a mail man uniform. "Thank you Lord Discord. And good luck with the prank your planing." Discord smiled at her words. He snapped a salute and vanished in a flash of cotton candy balloons.

Many of the lab ponies whispered among them selves. Priest cleared her throat. "Now let us focus on mass production of the ammunition. My unit is on edge with out it there primary weapons. So we need to start train loads of supplies out to them soon."

"Yes ma'am." They said as they shifted focus to the new task.

====================================
CMC club house

Captain Johnson looked over the test system giving it a run him self as Flash, Fritz and the CMC watched.

He brought up the last mission on the simulator and went to work. They where amazed at the things he made the Zaku Cannon do in the simulation was amazing. The machine moved like it was his own body. The simulation reached its end. The score came out at a ss rating. Leaving the viewers speechless.

"Good work Fritz it matches with the real thing and has balanced rating system like the in suit simulators. Few more upgrades and we can send it of to be replicated. But that's just adding more data and suit records. But that can wait. Flash your turn. Start on first mission and we can see how you match up to Fritz." said Captain Johnson

Flash was not feeling confident. He saw why Captain Johnson was there leader not just cause of rank but his skill in combat. "It can't be that hard to do if these fillies can do it." Said Flash with false bravado as he got in the seat.

The starting mission booted up witch was basic control orientation. Then came the first combat mission the magic put in to the chair triggered making Flash feel weightless as the whole thing in side rotated to face the ground. The image of human pops up. "Ok rookies we need to take out the Feddy fleet watch for fighters and stay out of there crosshairs."

The human disappeared from the screen he saw a large door open and the suit in front of him lunch out it his followed a moment latter.

He was shocked at the sight space clear as day a planet to his right a Sun far away and ships hundreds of them trading fire in complex battle lines a warning flashed in the suit he started to look around and move then a gold light filled the screen and the a exposition field his ears and gravity returned the words 'YOU ARE DEAD' flashing in his face. And inside he realized what just happened. He just failed a test four fillies with out cutie marks passed.

Then the simulator opened and he saw that stupid grin on his Captain's face. "That's a new record for shortest time to fail congrats Flash you got a F- you are now the worst score in the training. So what you learn from that?"

Flash groaned. "Don't get awestruck on duty." he muttered.

"Very good Flash now for dieing so fast you get a special punishment. five hundred laps from the castle to Sweet Apple Acers gate and back, on foot." Said Captain Johnson with a smile

Flash facepalmed as the girls giggled at him.

"Fritz tonight copy everyone's combat data and load it up in the simulator tomorrow morning. Till then you have leave to do as you like for the rest of the day. As a reward for a job well done." said the Captain.

Fritz smiled as he snapped a salute.

====================================
Twilight's castle harmony chamber. Hours later.

"My word, are these print outs correct?" asked Rarity.

"Yes ma'am." Said Jay from is spot by the wall. "The CMC not only survived all the simulations but did so with a qualifying score. On top of that the one trained guard that has so far tried it failed his first run. And after being punished for his stupidity he made two more attempts but was not able to complete the minimum required missions much less every single one that is available. Which the CMC have. As it stands they would make better pilots then our guard friend out back doing wing ups with May on his back."

Rainbow chuckled at the mental picture.

Applejack sighed and asked "So what you plan to do now?"

Twilight spoke up. "Next Flash is going to be running it again once a day until he meets the minimum requirements to pass. Given he will be testing the first suits Equestria builds."

Captain Johnson interrupts her "Don't hold your breath."

Twilight shoots him a nasty look, which he shrugs off, before she continues. "Each of us as well as my court mages, Trixie and Sunset, will take turns practicing in it as well. This is cause given the Harmony guard uses these suits, we as the council of harmony will be required to make appearances in our own if we have to go on a diplomatic mission or military event."

"Awesome!"

"Wow!"

"Oh my!"

"Really?"

"Gosh."

"Yes!"

"Rocking"

Came the mixed response from the seven other mares in the room.

"Each of you will receive customized Zakus once production starts. They will have one cqb weapon and one range weapon. This is cause your suits are more, and pardon the phrase, show ponies then work horses. As newer models become available you will have the option to trade up latter. Most the customization will be cosmetic. But some internal differences will be there. You will be getting what back home would have been called Zaku-2-F which had a over all better performance in a variety of climates." explained Captain Johnson.

"Thank you. Most of Equestria's mobile suit force will be using a J type Zaku two, a Zaku cannon or the Zaku one sniper. But that is more for the brass in Canterlot to deal with. What we are gathered here to do is approve or disapprove the civilian mobile suit designs that Fritz submitted." said Twilight.

The captain then walks around handing out stacks of paper to each of them.

"The first is the Zaku tractor. Based on the Zaku two and one tanks which started out as in field fix if a Zaku lost its legs and no spare parts where available. This latter became a common on bases in the form of construction and recover versions. Those where often called Zaku Cranes. The Zaku tractor will have two shoulder pads with no spikes or shield. It will have a second seat for a tool operator, who will control a trailer towed behind the suit. This allows the pilot to focus on where they are going and or controlling the arms and hands." said Jay.

"Looks a little complex for a farmer to learn." Said A.J.

"That's why its a two pony suit. Dividing the work allows for it to be simpler to use." said Jay

"I like it." said Pinkie "Those big hands could help harvest and crack rocks on my Mom and Dad's rock farm."

"All opposed?"asked Twilight

Applejack raised her hoof. Not one for changing her ways of doing things.

"Sorry A.J. looks like you are out voted." said Dash.

"Next we have the Zaku crane. Basically the same as the tractor only with digging tool on one arm and pincer and welding tool on the other with a crane boom on back pack. All of which can be swapped for other tools as needed." said Twilight.

"Well that will make building taller building easier. Ah won't try and stop it." Said A.J.

Twilight smiled. "All opposed?" nopony raised their hand.

"Ok on to the next one the sports model. This is a Zaku with the same leg type as the Dom has. It's mainly built on the concept of having a mobile suit races or derbies. It has a stream lined body round shoulders larger back thrusters and stabilizers like my Gouf flight type has. The kid first wanted to do a civilian flight suit, but I told him no. Flat out. So he opted to suggest suit racing sound like a nice idea." said Jay

"I like that idea. It be so cool to watch them race." said Dash.

Twilight smiled. "All opposed?" She asked. Again no hands raised, Twilight nodded for Jay to continue.

"OK last one. This is called the Zaku recreation model. The chest is larger over all to seat five and it has thicker legs to handle added weight. The skirt also has storage compartments for cargo. It has no jump boosters but has a detachable storage backpack. Wow he certainly went all out on the comforts. Heated seats, air conditioning, cup holders, fold out tray tables, on board music system, video recording and play back, plus gaming system compatibility plug ports. Fritz went all out on this one." said Jay

"It's like some one put a minivan in a mobile suit" said Sunset as she looked at the design.

"All opposed." asked Twilight

Jay raised his hand with a frown. But he didn't get a vote in this so he was ignored.

"Then approved." Said Twilight. "I'll have Spike send copies along to Luna and Celestia."

"I wonder if I can get heated seats in my Zaku?" asked Rarity

"I want those racing legs on mine." said Dash.

Jay facepalmed. "I knew this was coming..." He muttered to himself.

================================
Canterlot Castle

Celestia and her sister Luna along with Blueblood sat in the throne room going over the approved mobile Suits.

"I must say the public ones are much more comfortable then the military ones." Said Blueblood

"Tis the idea, they are meant to make our little ponies lives easier." said Luna

"Yes but we will have to issue tests and permits to all that wish to operate one of these machines. Both military and civilian." said Celestia

"Yes I agree. For public safety of course." Said Blueblood

"You just want to charge them a fee for the test and classes." said Luna.

Blue Blood pouted and looked away.

"We will but Zeon Corp. Will be in charge of setting the prices of the suits themselves. They are also going to be producing the suits for our military. So we will only charge for the lessons and a small test fee." said Celestia

"Fine a small boost to nations income revenue is better then none. I'll inform the house of nobles." Said Blueblood. He bowed and took his leave.

Blueblood walked towards the house of nobles which wile not actually in session was always where most the nobles gather to talk business. Weather it was was personal or national varies quite often.

As he entered he was as always met with mixed greetings of ponies that welcomed him or the under the breath comments of those who didn't. The house of nobles is mostly all the old bloodlines of the three tribes that became the ruling party before Celestia and Luna appeared. They plus fresher blood of new noble lines that had popped up over the year's serve as the court advisers and administrators to the princesses. There power outside of that and votes was limited to there businesses. That said many owned some very big companies.

Blueblood took a seat and said out load so all can hear. "Who got ownership of the new corporation in charge of building our new toys?"

The room went quite nopony spoke. Then Fancy Pants leader of the Nobles most often against Blueblood cracked up laughing.

"What's so funny?" Asked Blueblood.

Fancy regains his composure. "The princesses gave the court of harmony the ownership of the company. Given there guards are going to be first to use the machines. We don't have a say in anything that happens with it. Luna and Celestia found the company and listed Twilight's court members as the owning share holders. They should be receiving notice in a few minutes. In short they cut the house of nobles out of the profit from all new technology."

"WHAT!!!!!"Shouted Blue Blood in a fit of rage. He had plans in mind for this new company he thought worst his aunts would give it to one of the rival houses in league with Fancy Pants. But that they give it to a bunch of peasants from a third rate farming village. It never crossed his mind. He then promptly fainted.

"Ha ha. He fainted from the news! You all owe me thirty bits. I was right." said the guard that stood by the door. Everypony that did take the bet glares at the pony. As Fancy chuckles.

===============================================
Zeon crop. Lab Canterlot. Next Day...

"Why are you so against magic as the answer?" asked one of the scientist

"Because your race is to dependent. What if one of the non magic nation find a way to cancel out your magic, or a material that negates or is immune to it? It's just a matter of time. If not a natural occuring substance then a artificial one. Look at the goo the changelings make to hold prisoners. It negates one's ability to cast magic yes?" The ponies listening to Priest nodded.

"We imagine if they made armor of it in theory they would be protected from magic attacks. And weapons made from it might be able to break magic shields. So if we run in to a foe that has similar or superior to this would undermine Equestria's entire defense plan as well so chaos and panic if effected the civilian population." said Priest

The gathered scientist most of which are unicorns seemed to have a look of pure fear. Then a geologist spoke up. "If it's rocks that don't have to do with magic I know some." Everypony and Priest looked at her Maud Pie, Pinkie's big sister, she had been asked to join cause she was Equestria's top expert in rocks.

Priest handed her a folder. "Any that have these properties or can be combined to have them?"

Maud looked at the data she was given. She then gave a slight smile. "Dragon crystal. It's a rare gem that is greasy black. No value to any race even dragons that eat gems. It's called Dragon Crystal cause well ever wounder what happens to the gems a Dragon eats?" All the ponies looked sick.

"That explains the color." said Priest

"Yeah. But more so the gems have no magic properties but when melted and combined with Mithril they have a chemical reactions matching what you need for the reactors. And the same gem when melted can be as a catalyst. The problem is getting dragon's to trade them." said Maud

"No it's the easy part we just need the remains of gems the dragons eat. I'm sure the dragons in Equestria would be willing to help especially if it means they only have to eat gems. If young Spike is any indication." said Priest.

For whom the bell tolls

In love and war, all is fair

Captain Johnson's officer. Mid Summer.

"Pregnant! How!" shouted Twilight.

"Pierre I thought you of all people would have enough brains to use a condom." said Jay as he shook his head.

In front of him sat Pierre with his head in his hands. "I thought cause we are different species I couldn't knock them up. But yesterday I noticed one of them was well a little plump. And we'll you guess the rest..."

Twilight was growling... actually growling.

Jay just sighs "How many?" he asked.

"Well Cloud kicker is the first to show, but... Well two others are as well. They only know cause I asked them to get tested." said Pierre.

Twilight facepalms. Jay sighs and said "Why am I not surprised. You know what you have to do right?"

"I checked, the doctors never had heard the term abortion and kicked me out when I explained it." said Pierre.

Twilight was now being barely held back by Jay and surprising both of them with her ability to curse.

After she calmed down. Jay spoke. "I meant you should marry them. Equestrian culture has a nice option of a herd. So you should merry them and raise your um.... foals. I guess is the term."

Pierre paled at his words. "Ma...Ma....Marier!" he said falling back in to his French.

Next thing they see is him trying to flee the room. Twilight grabs him in her magic and holds him in the air.

"Non! Laissez-moi partir ! Je ne suis pas prêt à être un mari et un père !" shouted Pierre as he struggled.

Twilight looked at Jay "He has commitment issues?" she asked.

"Half the reason he enlisted was to escape getting married. From what I know he left her standing at the alter." Said Jay with sigh at his subordinates behavior.

======================================================================
Sugar Cube Corner lunch time.

Fritz was at a table drinking a milk shake with a sad face. Pinkie being Pinkie could not stand to see him so glum. "What's wrong Fritz-y?" she asked.

"Girl trouble... Not with AB and them there great, but Diamond and Sliver won't take the hint that I'm taken. And they have been taking every chance they get to flirt with me. Even after I told them I'm not interested." said Fritz.

"Oh! That's not very good. But you can't blame them. I mean you seen some of the colts in your age in town?" said Pinkie.

"I know. I know. But there both wealthy mares. Right? Why don't they find some Canterlot noble or a actor or something." said Fritz.

"The same reason you don't like them. Their a pair of meanies. Their parties I throw for them are smaller and smaller every year. Even though they plan bigger and bigger each time." said Pinkie.

"Not surprising. I swear those two have been stalking me. They always find me when I'm not with my mares." He finished his milkshake and got up. "Thanks for listening Pinkie."

Fritz walked out to the street. Ponyville was a nice town, Fritz liked the quite little town. Canterlot was nice place to visit when he went there. But he wouldn't want to live there. "When I merry them I wonder where the girls would want to live... we can't just mooch of their families, or expect them to live in the barracks either. I wonder how much the houses cost." Fritz was distracted by his thoughts so he didn't notice the mares trying to talk to him until one shouted.

"Hey are you even lessening!" shouted Diamond Tiara.

Fritz blinked and looked at the two mares that been trying to get his attention. "Oh it's just you two. Get lost will you go bug Snips and Snails or maybe Rumble or Featherweight." said Fritz as he turned to walk away from them.

Diamond was growling, "What is wrong with you we are the hottest and richest mares in town. I won 6 beauty pageants! We deserve the hottest stud in town and that's you. Why are you wasting your time pretending to be interested in those blank flank losers?"

Fritz stopped and looked at them. "Your a shallow, self centered, spoiled brats. You know that? I am not pretending I really do love them. They're my herd and you two are the ugliest ponies I ever met." He turned away and started walking then he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head and blacked out.

"Nopony calls me ugly." said Diamond in dark tone.

As Silver smiled and said "Looks like we had to get pre-harmony on this stud."

The two mares carried him off.

==============================================
Castle hall. thirty minutes later.

Dinky Do and Berry Pinch came running in shouting. "Spike! Spike!"

Spike sighed at his mare friends... "What is it this time? You two find a new candy you want to buy?"

Dinky Do shook her head no "It's Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, they attack that human Fritz after he turn them down again."

Berry Pinch then added. "Yeah when he turned to walk away Diamond hit him over his head then they carried him off."

Spike's eye's widen. "Oh that's bad if the CMC hear about this they will tear the town apart looking for him!"

"Hear about what Spike?" said Babs. Spike looked at the door to the harmony chamber to see the CMC, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack.

"Um... Well you see..." Spike stuttered nervously.

Dinky then said it "Diamond and Sliver knocked Fritz out and carried him off!"

"What!" the three older mares shouted. But the CMC had taken off like a shot.

"Rainbow chase after them Rarity get Twilight I'll find one of the Guards." said AJ.

Then came a loud thumping. As Rainbow starred out the door. "I don't think following them will be hard. They just took Fritz's Zaku!" she shouted.

Everyone ran to the door and saw purple Zaku with red shield and shoulder spikes marching down the street.

"Ok change of plan's Rainbow find Captain Johnson! Rarity and 'Ah will get Twilight!" Shouted AJ a new panic in her mind.

========================================================
Captain Johnson's office.

"What happened!" Jay shouted at Rainbow Dash

"Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon Foalnapped Fritz, and the CMC took his Zaku to rescue him!" shouted Rainbow again.

"Oh fuck me sideways. They have a fully loaded war machine and there boyfriend is kidnapped by there life long bullies. Well Shit!" Jay pulled out a his phone and activated a military app. Sending a alarm to every one in the unit.

==============================================
Diamond's bead room

"What's that beeping?" Asked Diamond as she and Silver tied Fritz to the bed, after striping him of his uniform.

"I think his phone." said Silver.

Fritz mumbled starting to wake. "Red alert... have to... get to my suit." he opened his eyes. "Oh for fuck's sake. At least I know why. There is a red alert..."

"Don't worry they won't bother us here." said Diamond.

Silver out of curiosity pulled his phone out and looked at the message. Her face took on a look of horror. "You've got to be kidding me!"

"What?" Asked Diamond Tiara.

She held the phone so Fritz could see. "Dose this mean what I think it dose?"

Diamond raised a eyebrow as Fritz grinned.

Alert code PCF, code CMCms6k

was rolling across the screen.

Fritz smiled "The first means I'm captured, the second means the Cutie Mark Crusaders have my Zaku."

Diamond and Sliver looked at each other. "Buck!"

========================================================
Suit cockpit Zaku cannon.

"Buck... the Captain is calling on the radio? What should I do?" asked Scootaloo.

"Patch him thorough, not like we can out run him. His suit flies after all. It be like trying to outrun Rainbow Dash." said Sweetie Belle.

"Right..." Scoots flipped a switch instantly the Captain's face popped up on the screen.

"What in the hell are you four thinking! Of all the crazy... You realize you can go to jail now right?" shouted the Captain.

"We just want our Fritz back." said Apple Bloom.

"And he's one of my men. We will get him back. Now stand down." said the Captain.

"Do you even know where they would take him?"Asked Scoots

"And you do?"Asked the Captain.

Babs grinned. "Yeah Diamond and I where friends at first. Only a week or so. But I learned all her habits. Like how we would all ways played at her house cause Silver's Mom actually tries to be good parent unlike Diamond's Mom and Dad, who are never home, always working. That's why we always played at her home. Cause only ones there are her servant who have to do what she says." she answers.

"Yeah and right now those two rats probably have him tied up in her bed." said Apple Bloom.

The captain looked at them. "Your sure about this?" asked Jay.

The girls nodded.

"Ok I'll send May over to her place but you girls stay back." said the captain.

After twenty minutes the Zaku, Gouf, and Effret had reached Diamond's house.

May exited her suit and knocked on the door. An older stallion answered the door. "How may I help you?"

May cleared her throat. "I'm a member of the harmony guard. I am looking for Diamond Tiara, and Sliver Spoon. They are wanted for questioning on charges of assault and kidnapping of military personnel. Please step aside so I may search the premises."

"I will not this is a private residence out side of Ponyville limits." he said.

May frowned. "I'm a member of Princess Twilight Sparkles personal guard that mean I have national jurisdiction. The same as the royal and night guards have."

Meanwhile the CMC where scanning the building with thermal looking for Fritz.

They spot three heat sources through a large bay window. "We found them third floor south east side of the building called." out Sweetie Belle, I've the suits load speakers.

Jay moved his suit to see. "Confirmed two ponies one human. You four stay in that Zaku." He said before he exited his suit. Jay ran to the door and decked the butler. "You hindering guards on duty! Out the fucking way!" He shouted as he did so.

He and May ran up to the room tried to open it but found it locked. "Harmony Guard! Open the door in the name of the crown!" He shouted.

==============================================
Inside the room.

The door shook as it was beat on a dresser and cabinet in front of it."Harmony Guard! Open the door in the name of the crown!" shouted a male's voice.

"How dare they try to interrupt us with our stud!" shouted Diamond

"Interrupt what? It's been a hour and he's still not hard even after two double breast massages and five tries at a blow job! At this point I think we need a Necromancer to get his cock to rise!" Said Silver Spoon with more then a little frustration in her tone.

Fritz was half amused, as well as counting his lucky stars he had seen so much death in the war. Nothing killed his joy faster then remembering his week on recover teams waiting for reassignment to a new unit.

"Why that worthless butler even let them in?" Diamond asked before shouting "We're rich! We don't have to do what the guards say!"

Several shots rang out and the sound of wood splintering. Then more thumps on the door. "Fucking shit! They barricade them selves in Captain!" Shouted a female voice.

"Captain! May! They're trying to rape me! Help!" Shouted Fritz getting a punch in face for it.

"Shut up and get hard already!" shouted Silver.

The Captain shouted again. "Last warning! Open the door or our friends out side will come through your wall!"

"Go screw that cheap whore with you, where busy!" shouted Diamond.

The banging on the door stepped and then a blade came through the wall next to it. "Wait till I get my hands on you brats!" Screamed May

========================================
Inside the Zaku.

"A'h wish A'h could hear what's going on." said Apple Bloom.

The radio crackles on. "Zaku cannon, you are clear for entry. Just don't kill them before May can." In the background they hear May shouting and swearing.

"Wonder what made her mad?" asked Sweetie.

Scootaloo smiled as she pulled the suits fist back to punch the wall. "It's Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon! What you expect?"

"Good point." said Babs

"Eeyup" said Bloom

"Yeah your right. Try and wreck her closet." said Sweetie Belle.

"Knock! Knock!" said Scootaloo as she struck.

The arm exstended out ripping through the wall the closet and the hall way wall five feet to the right of May and Jay.

"My pageant clothes where in there!" shrieks Diamond Tiara.

The crusaders having herd that on the external microphones smirked. Before Scoots twisted the arm and pulled it out. Saying "Oppsies." In fake embarrassment.

The Zakus hand opened flat before the hatch opened and the crusaders charged out as May and Jay ran in as well. The Apple mares Babs and Bloom got there to the bullies first and let them have it with mirrored punches in the muzzle casing both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon the bump their heads together and pass out.

"Nice left cus." said Babs

"Thanks I take karate, your right hook was good your self Babs" said Applebloom.

Sweetie Belle squeaked when she saw Fritz and turned away blushing, as Scootaloo stairs out the hatch wings at full spread.

The captain took charge. "You three back in the Zaku! May drag those two out and tie them up and take them in! I'll get Fritz untied and dressed."

"Yes Captain!" they said before obeying.

"Captain, sorry to cause trouble for you and the others. I never thought the would turn violent." said Fritz as he rubbed his wrist.

"That's ok, you couldn't have known. Now get dressed its only sixty degrees today." said Jay

"Yes sir." He said before collecting his cloths and getting dressed.

"Did I hear her right earlier? You stayed limp for a hour with them rubbing and sucking you dick? How you mange that?" asked Jay

Fritz smiled "I closed my eyes and remembered the two weeks I served in recovery."

"Wow... You must have a strong will." said Jay

"It kept me from focusing on them and instead focused on not throwing up. But I was aware of what they where doing. I need a cold shower." said Fritz

"Or some time with you fiancees." Joked Jay, as he pointed to open Zaku hatch with four heads peaking out.

===================================
Latter in the court of harmony.

"I demand the release of my daughter and her friend! They where illegally arrested, assaulted and are being unlawfully detained on false charges!" shouted Filthy Rich

"Denied." said Twilight with a frown. This made Filthy Rich blink. He was not used to the word no. "We have several credible witnesses willing to testify, the complaining victim and the thermal footage from the Zaku's infrared camera of part of the attempted rape." she continued.

"Ok. ok . I get it but they where in my home which is on my land which is outside the town border and there for out of local jurisdiction." replied Mr. Rich

Twilight stamped her hoof on the floor and glared at Mr. Rich "Mr Rich. I will remind you that as a citizen of Ponyville it doesn't matter where your house is located. You are still subject to all of Ponyville's laws and your money doesn't get you way from their jurisdiction. Or mine for that matter, am I clear?" Twilight spoke with clear authority. She took a deep breath and calmed down before continuing "And the laws they broke were against a member of my guard. Thus making the crime nation level not local. They are luck I'm not adding treason and espionage charges that some of the Guards suggested cause the stallion they kidnapped is the one doing the designs of Equestria's new weapons."

"Treason?"asked Mr. Rich.

"Fritz my be lower ranked but he is the only engineer in Equestria that understands the Mobile Suits. That said his kidnapping could be seen as a attempt at espionage. If not that I and my friends have full authority of the Mobile Suit development and regulations. She would be in Canterlot facing the nobles pressing to have her banished or imprisoned. I think what is best for them would be to learn humility. That said I would like to sentence them to guard service." said Twilight

"What! Guard service?" asked Filth Rich.

"Yes to teach them trust responsibility and to be upstanding and good ponies. The cutie mark crusaders, will be getting the same thing for the stealing the Zaku Cannon. The guard basic training and two years service should help them grow up and set them on the right path in life." said Twilight

Filthy Rich looked at the other ponies recognizing them from in town. He looked at Applejack and spoke.

"Miss Applejack. Your family and mine have been in business together for generations. I'm sure we can work something out that doesn't involve such harsh punishment of these young and spirited girls. They don't need such hard punishments right?"

"Nope. They need to have more discipline. A'h thought me and ma' brother could give Apple Bloom and Babs that. But they stole a war machine that on its own could level the town. And you daughter and her friend have a long history of bullying and harassin my sister and her friends. I think this will help all of them grow." Said Applejack a hint of regret.

Fluttershy spoke up. "All Cloudsdale, foals get basic guard training. It helps us learn to work as a team. Even if it was scary..." she hid behind her mane.

"Yeah I was going to wait till Scootaloo got her cutie mark before talking with her pertains about enrolling her in it. Now she is going in regardless. But it will help her in the long run who know she might get a cutie Mark in there." said Rainbow Dash.

Filthy Rich looked at the mares all nodded in agreement. He lost and there was no way to bribe these ponies, maybe the instructors. "Who will be their instructors?" he asked.

Twilight smiled and said. "Why the princesses will. Knowing how important these six ponies friends and family are here and in Manhattan, I felt that it will best serve there education, if the my former teacher Princess Celestia and her sister Princess Luna. And our own captain Johnson will handle there the modern portions of there training. Given he is the highest rankings officer with experience and understanding of the modern technology. Then two years of service here in Ponyville. Rest assured this is only to help them become better ponies."

"I see, well I guess it's for the best then." said Filthy finally admitting defeat.

==================================================
Friendship express in route to Canterlot.

"When my Daddy hears about this you all will be sued!" shouted Diamond Tiara.

Pierre and May roll their eyes. Pierre then said "Will you shut the fucking hell up. I swear I'm French and I want to smack you. How did Fritz refrain from doing so?"

May chuckled. "Easily, he just waited for his herd to do it. Speaking of herds I heard you will be getting married before Fritz will."

Pierre groaned. "The unit knows? Great... So you want the chicken or the sea bass?" he asked sarcastically.

"Stop ignoring me!" shouted Diamond Tiara

The both across the aisle Sat the CMC in cuffs like Diamond and Silver across the way setting in front of their guards. But unlike the whining Diamond and the sulking Silver, the crusaders where looking on the bright side.

"Think of all the new ways to get cutie marks we get to try." said Sweetie Belle.

"Me and Babs will be the first in our family to be in the guard. This is will be the start a new chapter in our family history." Said Applebloom

"You're forgetting that we are also the first in our family to be arrested cus." said Babs making Blooms ears lay back.

"Rainbow was going to ask my parents to send me to guard training anyway after I get my cutie mark. It's Pegasus tradition, and mandatory in Cloudsdale. Even Fluttershy completed it which puts her in a new light. I mean, she's so quiet it kind of scary to know she could kick my flank if she wanted to. " said Scoots getting a nod from her friends.

"So what if we are technically being punished. We get to take lessons from Princess Celestia and Luna. You realize how lucky we are." said Sweetie Belle.

May shook her head. "I swear those four are going to be a force of nature when they are done. Always planing, and looking at the up side. Even now they are looking at this as a opportunity."

"You two could learn from them. Princess Twilight is doing this as opportunity for all of you to grow as persons. Rather then sending you to jail." Said Pierre looking at Diamond and Silver.

Silver looked up. "What do you mean we just tried to claim the stallion that should be ours?"

May shook her head. "You don't get it. Fritz is not just some solder, he is the lead engineering technician, and head consultant for the mobile suit project. You basically risked treason charges just cause you two can't except no as a answer. Congratulations one choice could and should have ruined your life. If not for her highness you would be on your way to the border." said May.

=======================================================
Canterlot palace.

Captain Johnson sat on the steps of the raised platform of the thrones, in his armor painted black and red like his Mobile Suit. The armor had Twilight's mark on one shoulder and a red moon with bloody claw marks on the other. He had to wait as Luna Celestia handled the court, before the new charges get there. Jay would have rather just give the kids a spanking and a night in jail. But he understood it was done differently here. He was amused at the absurd complaints nobles had for the princesses.

The current noble was speaking on behalf of a group from the house of nobles "You highness we in the house have one last item. We are concerned that those put in charge of the Zeon Corporation are not giving it the proper oversight it's needed. And for the sake of Equestria's safety..."

"Oh for fuck's sake!" shouted Jay cutting him off. "You lot are just but hurt about the fact we ain't using magic and the company is not making any of your wallets fatter. Believe me if I had any say in how this nation is run I'd make military serves mandatory of all nobles and tax there income by fifty percent. Cause I sat here for about two hours and have seen you nobles do nothing but bitch, about problems that don't even amount to a pile of shit." he looked at Celestia and Luna.

"Pardon my language, but I was born a farmer and made a solder by humans that act like these nobles. And I would rather be skinned alive then sit here and listen to more of this crap." he huffed then fell backwards. "Wake me when the class gets here." After half a minute he was snoring peacefully.

Luna's horn glows. "He is actually a sleep? In full plate?" she said in confusion.

Celestia giggled, and spoke. "I like the idea of raising the tax of the nobles. Tell the court that from now on any bills that give them any gain in profits must include a set use of the bits to help the lower classes or a raise in their taxes. And the Zeon corporation is in the hands of the most trustworthy ponies. That put the needs of Equestria above there own, and have risked there lives before for us all. I have complete confidence in them." She smiled at the captain snoring by her and her sisters hooves as a sick looking noble ran from the room.

"Oh Fritz, I'm so worried abut Sweetie Belle going thorough that whole guard training thing." said Rarity with a small sniffle.

Fritz was asked by Rarity to join her Dash and AJ for some tea. It is soon turned to them worrying about there sisters and cousin. Fritz sighed, and spoke. "First there are not getting thrown in with the rest of meat for the grinder...." He face palmed at the horror on there faces. "Sorry bad choice of words. What I mean is they are not getting the regular training, but are being specially trained by the Captain and the princesses. Not the drill sergeants of the regular guard given they are younger then regular trainees." This made them sigh in relief.

"Well as long as it that way they will be fine. I remember my drill sergeant at flight camp was a terror." said Rainbow.

"And ain't it your captain That will train them to be soldiers?" asked AJ

"Yes.... him and Luna. The Captain will handle basic PT and weapons training. Luna will teach them hand to hand and magic and flight skills, while Celestia handles there basic education. They gave them the easy job. Well as far as the Crusaders go. Stars protect any one that faces them in mobile suits. But that said I have to teach Flash to be a pilot the first trainer suit is ready and I have to teach him who to be a real soldier."

The mares laughed at that.

"Make Flash a real soldier?!" laughed Rainbow Dash.

"A'hm sorry for you Fritz that's worse job to date. Did you piss in the captain's coffee this morning or some thing." Laughed AJ

"Oh stop it, Flash is trying his best darlings. You can't blame him for being... Oh I'm sorry I can't say it with a strait face either." said Rarity holding out the longest.

The Knight with the Princess (Clop chapter)

For whom the bell tolls

Canterlot five am, castle guest rooms.

Jay walked down the hall to the rooms his new students were sleeping in. Under one arm was a box of brand new flash bang grenades. He was in his uniform and had a twisted smile on his face as he opened the first door. Then the next then the next. Until all six where opened the regular night guard in charge of watching the girls looked on puzzled. He handed him a set of ear plugs. "Put them in this will be loud."

He then pulled out some grenades, and started pulling the pins tossing the grenades in. After a few seconds six load bangs echoed in the room causing the thestral pony to lay his ears back, even with the plugs it hurt his ears. The next sound was screams and panicked shrieks as the girls stumble out of the rooms in a panic.

"Rise and shine grunts! Welcome to the first day of your new life! From now on your to be have gotten up, used the bathroom, showered, and dressed in uniform by oh fivehundred hours every morning! Those that fail to do this will get a flash bang revelry every time they sleep in! Am I clear you grunts!" Shouted Captain Johnson with a sinister smile on his face.

The reply he got was a set moans and complaining. He chuckled as he walked by "Breakfast is in five minutes! Your not down there by then you don't get any!" he shouted again.

He walked by the guard and whispers "Keep the plugs if your going to be here every morning." The guard nodded and looked back at the young mares feeling a lot more sorry for them then he first did.

============================================
Canterlot dinning hall 5:04 AM

The girls in there matching school uniforms, consisting of a pearl white t-shirt and knee socks, with a midnight blue neck-kerchief and skirt, with black hoof shoes and beret. Celestia smirked as they ran in barely making it in time to get food.

Luna smiled and spoke "Welcome students. I take it the good captain has informed you of you new wake up time." The death glares aimed at the captain eating a stack of pancakes made Luna giggle.

Celestia smiled "It seems they are not happy about his methods of rousing them. Come girls sit and eat with us." said Celestia.

"Oh yes do join us. I made sure Jay put the flash bangs away. Specially cause he wouldn't share them with me." said Discord from a table on the ceiling.

"I told you Discord you want to play with our toys, you have the past the test." Said Jay with a I got you where I want you smile.

The girls sat at the table as there plates were brought out. "Wait we don't get to pick our meal?" asked Diamond.

"Nope you eat what your given and all of it." The girls start with pancakes but only Scootaloo ate the mystery food on there plates. It looked like hay bacon but was red not tan as well as brown rolls of something that they could not identify.

"Hey Scoots, what is the other thing on our plate besides eggs and pancakes?" asked Sweetie Belle

"That's meat, bacon and sausage. Rainbow started eating it after having breakfast with May one day. I tried it at her house since I ate fish anyway so figured it wouldn't hurt and if Rainbow liked it..." said Scootaloo.

"Ewww I'm not eating meat. It's barbaric." said Diamond

"Yeah." added Silver.

"What kind of meat is it?" Asked Babs as she took a bite. And made a show of eating it with her mouth open in front of Diamond.

"Bacon is pork, pig meat, the sausage is turkey less greasy and healthier." said Jay. "And chew with your mouth closed Babs. Just cause I don't mind crude language doesn't mean I tolerate bad table manners. So mouth closed as you eat. Diamond Tiara Silver Spoon stop whining and eat what your given. If you ever deployed to other nations or wilderness areas. You might have to eat what's available and not what you like to eat. And if complain again I'll make snake and spider stew for lunch."

Even Discord recoiled at that idea of lunch.

Celestia cleared her throat. "After breakfast you have thirty minutes to your selves before your morning classes with me start during this time I recommend writing your families and friends. Also inform them that any gift packages are restricted to food and/or hygiene products. Now finish eating." said Celestia.

========================================================
Guest wing

Sweetie Belle smiled as she wrote her sister.

Dear Rarity,

I will be starting my first day soon. They gave us cute uniforms to wear and we have 30 minutes ever morning to write to our families and friends. But right now there is not much to say. Well the captain is a jerk he tossed grenades in our room to wake us up this morning... Not the dangerous ones I saw the box it said training flash bangs. My ears where ringing and those where just the training ones! The real thing would take out some ponies hearing for good. He also said he will keep doing it to any pony that sleeps in. I have a feeling Diamond will get it the most, hopefully. Well tell mom and dad I love them and tell Fritz I will try and send him a pic of me and the rest of us in uniform soon.

Love your little sister Sweetie Belle

P.S. I almost forgotten Celestia said care packages are only to be food and hygiene products.

Apple Bloom's letter

Dear every pony back home.

Well I can now say there is a worse wake up call then Mr. Rooster. The captain had found it. I am never sleeping past 4:30 AM ever again. I had meat for the first time. It was different not bad just different. I could get used to but what the captain said he would make for lunch scares me. Snake and spider stew. I hope that Diamond doesn't complain about the food from now on or we will have to eat stranger things. Then pig or turkey meat. I now know why Fritz never talks about when the captain cooks. Also if you send me stuff make sure it's just washing stuff or food. Well that's all for now I'll have more to tell you tomorrow.

Love Apple Bloom

Scootaloo's letter.

Dear Rainbow Dash.

I get time in the morning to write to some pony and cause I don't have a camera to send some sexy picks to Fritz I am writing you which I will do any way. Any way, captain woke us up with bucking grenades. I mean wow it was like a sonic rainboom went off in my ears. Was Spitfire that mean? The food is good Diamond and Silver are complaining. But what else would they do. I'm going to train hard get a cutie mark and earn the right have a Gouf flight type or a Dom suit so I can be fast and cool like you.

One last thing tell my mom and dad that they can send me food and soap and the like.

Your biggest fan and soon to be bad flank Scootaloo

Babs Seed sighed.

Dear Mom, Dad, and big sis.

I don't know if AJ told you all yet but me and Bloom got arrested after we stole one of the new mobile suits, to rescue our herd stud. He's a nice young guard named Chief petty officer Fritz Hammond. He is one of the humans that are princess Twilight Sparkle's new guards. He was knocked out and foalnapped by school bullies. Long story short the bullies and us crusaders have all been arrested. Thankfully we got of light with just having to go through a special guard training and two years of service. Lot better then the alternatives. Any way you can send me food and hygiene supplies. I'll see if I can send you a picture of me in my new uniform. I'll probably be stationed in Ponyville given the drill instructor is from the harmony guard. I know we messed up but we will take this chance to do the Apple and Orange Families proud.

Love Petty Officer second class Babs Seed.

Spoon's letter.

Dear Mother,

I'm sorry. Please ask them send me home the made me eat MEAT, and plain pancakes and woke me up with a explosion. I don't want to be here. Celestia said to tell you, you can send me food and hygiene products. But I don't want that stuff I want to go home. They took my glasses and gave me plain ones. And and....
Please get me home Mommy!

Love your vary sorry Daughter Sliver Spoon.

her paper had wet marks from crying.

Diamond Tiiara

Dear Father,

Why did you let them take me? Can't you just give them money and get me out of this? I mean we are rich right? Bits can buy anything. Any way the old nag Celestia said You can only send us food and hygiene products. They took my Tiara away make them give it back, they are also cruel waking me up at five am with fireworks of some kind and making me eat meat. I hope the reason I'm suffering this is cause you have to transfer some bits and I will soon be on a train home.

Your beautiful daughter Diamond Tiara.

=================================================================
Ponyville park.

Twilight was excited to be presiding over a herd union for the first time. Equestrian military tradition had that ether the highest ranking officer or one of the princesses do so. Most of the time it was Cadence or Celestia. Now she got to do one herself.

To her right stood the groom, Pierre in his formula uniform, and full set of of magic manacles and chains being maintained by Sunset and Trixie sitting with most of his unit and Twilight's friends so Pierre had some support on his side of the aisle. Big Tom was standing by Pierre's side holding a set of rings on pillow in one hand the other resting on his side arm.

Twilight remembered what he had told to Pierre early to... encourage him for this moment. "Pierre if you say anything or do anything to ruin this and brake those poor mares hearts I will Personally blow your brains out of that thick skull of yours. We clear?"

Twilight was eighty percent sure he was joking at least she hoped so. But this was a happy day. Besides she'd skin him alive herself before he can shoot him... she blinked and shook her head. She was hanging around the humans too much.

The music started and the brides started down one by one. First was Cloud Kicker. She looked grate in the dress Rarity had made. She looked as nervous as Pierre did. Next came Roseluck smiling wide enough to rival Pinkie Pie' s last to appear was Lovestruck a unicorn that looked way to much like Twilight making her look at Pierre with a raised brow.

The mares took there places and Twilight cleared her throat and spoke. "We are gathered here today to official unite this herd. Before the sun and moon. In love and harmony. So that they may walk side by side to a bright and happy future. Cloud Kicker, Roseluck, and Lovestruck. Do you three agree to share this man, Ensign Pierre D. Lafayette, equally and love each other as you do him as sister wives of his herd."

"I do!" They all said as one though it was clear by the tones in there voices one was nervous and another sounded like she was in a fantasy.

Twilight smiles and looks Pierre in the eyes. "And do you, ensign Pierre D. Lafayette, take these mares as your loving waives. In joy and sadness. In illness and health. And to protect and care for them and the children that they will bare you."

All of the unit and every pony that knew of Pierre's fear of commitment held there breath. He opened his mouth and spoke in his native French "Je fais."

May sitting in the first row with a French to English dictionary smiled. "He said he dose." she called out.

Twilight smiled and said. "Then by the power vested in me as a princess of Equestria I now pronounce you husband and wives. He's all yours girls." With that said Sunset and Trixie cut Pierre free of there spell in time for them to tackle him and kiss him. Tom set the rings down as each put one on before they slipped one on Pierre's finger.

===================================================
Canterlot castle Celestia's class room.

The six student's where board. They now all understood why Twilight would slip in to a lecture so easily.....

Because that was how she was taught. Celestia was a nice pony, a fair kind ruler, and vary a attractive. But her way of teaching was... Well talk it into your skull or let you figure it our by experience. And that is what the first half of there first day was. Celestia talking, and talking, and talking, and talking. She would ask questions from time to time but she mostly just ran her mouth. All six mares had the same thought. This was how Twilight learned most everything she new before going to Ponyville. No wounder she talks in dictionary.

"Now who knows what is the difference between the Pony's body and that of a Griffin's? Yes Scootaloo."said Celestia.

"Ponies body tho evolved from a herbivore species can ingest meat as well as most plants. Cause we had a evolutionary stage as scavenger gathers in which we evolved hands to grasp and use tools. While griffins have a diet of meat and fruits because the evolved from a predator race." Said Scootaloo surprising everypony.

"How did you learn that? You sleep thorough most of our classes!" asked Sweetie Belle

"Rainbow was talking about it with May last week." said Scootaloo

The rest of the crusaders facepalmed in sync and groan. "Of course it had to do with Rainbow Dash." said Babs.

Celestia giggled at this before going back to her lecture.

======================================================
Noon dining hall.

"Ok now I know where Twilight gets her lectures from." Said Scootaloo as they walked in.

"Y'ah ba'tween Celestia and all them books she reads. How can she not do that?" Agree Apple Bloom as the group took there seats.

"Wonder what for lunch? Hope the captain didn't make good on that threat of stew." said Babs.

"Well at lest he is not making me cook." said Sweets.

"Yeah." They all agreed.

Diamond Sat pouting Silver looked at worried.

She leaned over and whispered "What's wrong Diamond?"

She sighed and looked at her friend. "I don't understand why daddy hasn't got us out yet. I'm sure he has the money to." She whispered back

The trays placed in front of her with a lid spooked her she looked up to see the captain next to a cart and a feeling of dread washed over her about the mystery lunch.

"Your daddy's money can't get you out of this girl, no amount of bits can. Something money can't buy. You have to earn them your self through hard work." He said be for taking the last try and sitting at the end of the table with in arms reach of both Diamond and Babs. "Ok girls eat up."

Everyone hesitated about uncovering there lunch. The captain had a sandwich of some kind but the smell of cooked food under there tray covers told them he had different lunch then they did. Scootaloo was the first to open hers she sighs to see a fried fish with broccoli tops smothered in cheese. Every one opened there trays to find the same thing.

"Thanks for not making that stew captain." said Babs.

"Just eat you got twenty minutes before I get your flanks for three hours." He said between mouth fills of his lunch. That prompted them all to start eating.

Ponyville, after mail has arrived, Twilight's castle.

"I can't believe the good captain was so rough with them." said Rarity.

"That's not rough my drill instructor turned the fire hose on any one that slept in. I thought my bones where damp after the first time he did it." Said Fritz.

Sofie chuckled, "Mine fired blanks from a machine gun in to our bunk. I think five of us shit ourselves."

"Buck and I thought we had it bad when mine used a bullhorn." said Flash.

"Well at lest Apple bloom is taking it well." Said AJ

"Hey fritz, there is something in Scootaloo's letter you should see." Said Rainbow Dash with a lecherous grin as she handed him the letter.

He read over letter then went so red that he got a nose bleed.

"Yeah I thought you would like to hear that." Said Rainbow Dash with a amused tone.

"I'm going to go run some drills in the simulators, Flash you too. Your scores have a long way to go, if you want to get a Mobile Suit before their little sisters do." Said Fritz as he walked off holding his nose.

Flash moaned "Yes sir chief." As he followed along.

Sofie looked at Dash and asked "What is in that letter?"

"Scoots just said she was going to send him a few personnel pics of herself when she can." explains Dash.

"Ohhhh." Said everyone.

"My word that girl has taken to being adventurous hasn't she." said Rarity.

"Ok, ok, that's enough. You three have you own lesson to get back to. Remember unlike your siblings you just need to be able to defend yourselves. In a mobile suit. Well except you Rainbow Dash as the only wonder bolt getting Suit training you are going have to be combat capable and performance capable. So back to our lesson." said Sofie

"Oh yeah right." said Dash

"Thanks for lettin us read the letters, during class." said AJ

"Yes darling. That was very kind of you." said Rarity

"Enough already. It's my job to teach you the book stuff so let's get back to it." said Sofie

===============================================================
Rich's office.

He looked at the letter he got and sighed. He picked up a quill. Tho he had one of the new phones he knew his daughter didn't yet, and that they are being slowly distributed to those who would get the most use of them first. Military, medical personnel, government officials, then big business and lastly regular ponies.

Dear Diamond Tiara
I all ready talked to Princess Twilight Sparkle. She is not some pony that I can pay to make what you done go away. I'm afraid that you broke national law and will have to serve your sentence.

I'm sorry the package with this letter includes a box of you favorite chocolates and your favorite bath soaps and mane products. It's all I can do I'll send chocolate every week, let me know when your low on the bath supplies. If you need anything else please write me I'll get it to you if I can.

Please be strong.

Love your Father.

==========================================================
Manehattan.

"Well at lest she is putting in the effort. Let's send her and her classmates some orange candy." said Mrs Orange.

"And ask our niece about this Fritz colt." said her husband.

======================================================
Guard training grounds.

Many of the regular guards off duty have gathered to watch the training methods of the human. Some have all ready heard of the special diet and wake up the mares now running laps have been getting. But all agree that they are thankful the never had him as a drill instructor.

"Come on! Lift those hooves Grunts! I've seen turtles run faster! Tiara! Spoon! Get the lead out of your hooves! Your earth ponies show that strength your suposed to have! Scoots I thought you said you where fast! I'm Running backwards and you can't keep up!" Shouted Jay through a bullhorn. As he ran backwards around the track in full plate ahead of the six mares.

Scootaloo was in front huffing and puffing her lungs out. A few steps behind her was Apple Bloom her life on the farm allowing her to keep up. Then was Babs and Sweetie both out of shape but still used to a good amount of running. Last where Diamond and Silver both in vary poor shape.

Five laps latter the six mares collapse on the grass. Jay smiles, and spoke "Good now that your all on the ground give me. Fifty sit ups." ordered Jay

The girls groaned as they began to do there sit ups.

"Buck that human is a slave driver. Did he tell the princesses he was going to put them through?" said one guard nearby

"Which one? Celestia, Luna or Twilight? I want to know why they do those exercises when they got those giant magic armors?" said the other

Jay looked right at the two guards. "Simple a mobile suit can't clear a building, or disarm traps and bombs. Every pilot has to be able to fight on foot. Or on Hoof in this case. They also have to withstand high G-forces. So fat slackers like you two defiantly aren't going to get to pilot one." said Jay

The two guard growled at him. But did nothing cause he out ranked them.

After another hour of PT the girls could barely move he gave them a rest as he set up for the next part. "Ok Grunts time to learn how to use a gun I blocked of the range so only a idiot would cross it. That said if you see Blueblood just keep shooting." Said The captain. Many of the Guards still around chuckled.

He laid out six rifles and pistols. "These are the basic automatic rifle and pistol. Later I will show you how to load field strip and maintain them. But to day we will just work on shooting. Step up and pick up a pistol. That's the smaller one." said the captain.

The girls did as they where told.

The captain spoke again. "Now rule one never point a gun at someone or something unless your willing to shoot. Rule two don't point it at your self. Rule three treat any gun like it's loaded." said Captain Johnson.

The rest of the day till dinner was the constant sound of gun shots as he taught them to shoot.

================================================
Canterlot castle dining hall

The girls more laid then sat at the table waiting for the food.

"Now I understand why he was called the bloody dragon." said Sweetie Bell

"No wonder his unit are so epic. They make the wonder bolts training Dash told me about look light." said Scootaloo

"I miss farm work." said Babs

"Second that." said Bloom

Diamond groaned "I think I would rather been banished."

"Dungeon sounds like a five start hotel right now." said Silver.

The clicking of trays in front of them singled there food was there. It was soup rice and some soft dough buns of some kind. All easy to eat. None of them asked what the food was and ate it quickly before taking there remaining dinner time to sleep or rest, before Luna's lessons.

Their first day is nearly done.

Luna stood at the door with Jay and Celestia. "Should I get the grenades?" asked Jay

"Neigh I shell wake them when it's time. You two go relax."

"Thank you sister." said Celestia

"Sure thing saves me some for tomorrow.... let me know if they have nightmares of me." Said Jay as he left a few steps behind Celestia.

"Captain Johnson. Would you care to join me for some tea. I have finished with court and would like some company." Celestia asked.

"I'm not much for tea. But I'm always one for good company. Especially when there a good kisser." Said Jay with a grin.

Celestia giggled "Your awful forward Captain."

"Ma Pappy always said, Better to be forward then to look back and regret it." said Jay.

"I see. So that's why you have so much confidence. You pick a direction in life and follow it till you goal is reached." Said Celestia who had slowed so that she was walking next to him.

"When I was young I wanted to take over the family farm despite my small size I worked hard. Then the federation took that from me along with ma' family. So I set my sights on ending it, and eventually joined the Zeon." he said.

Celestia set a wing over him as act of comfort. "And your goal now?" she asked.

"Hehe, long run. To help Equestria reach the stars. Short term whip those kids in to respectable adults. Right now..." He moved closer wrapping a arm around her waist. Her swaying stride making her gently bump his side with her hip. "Enjoy your lovely company." He said winking at her.

Celestia blushed at this but her height keep it hidden from him. She had kissed him the day they met on stage. It was only a joke to bug the stuck up nobles. But it felt so good. She hadn't kiss any pony like that seance the time of Star Swirl and his mirror... she felt the firm yet gentle arm around her waist and the bump she made with her hip every other step. This closeness, she hadn't had it in a long time. She tightened her wing around him. "Jay lets have tea in my room the balcony has a wonderful view of my sisters moon rise." said Celestia

"That sounds like lovely idea, Celly." he said.

This time she could not hid the blush. She rested her hand on his shoulder his arm slid a little lower on her just so her swaying hips rubbed along it.

Guards watching them as they walked by, had to use all there willpower not to brake composure. It was clear when her room door magically locked behind them that the big topic among the guard tomorrow was not going to be Captain Johnson's training methods.

The one guard looked at the other. "Did princess Celestia just lock herself in her room with the Knight Captain of her former student?"

The other guard looked at him. "I'm just happy she picked a guard rather then a noble. Even if he is not a pony he will at lest treat her as she needs to be. And he strikes me as somepony that is a leader by necessity not choice."

The first guard then asked "That makes a difference?"

"As big a difference as there is between Prince Blueblood and General Firefly." Said the other guard before returning to his stoic posture.

"I see. Thank you sergeant. I hope when I have served as long as you have, I can help new guards like you helped me." Said the first guard.

"Well said private. Your on your way to be a great guard." Said the older one before both fell back in there duty.

======================================================
Back with the Luna and the girls.

Luna took a deep breath. "WAKE UP YOU SILLY FOALS YOU STILL HAVE MUCH TO DO BEFORE THY CAN REST!" she blared in her royal Equestria voice. Make them stumbled out of chairs.

"Ok I'm not sure what is worse. Luna waking us or Captain Johnson doing it." Mumbled Babs to her self as hers and every pony else's ears where ringing. Luna giggled as she waited for them to recover and line up.

Once that was done she spoke. "Greetings fillies from now till nine o'clock I will teach you how to use your magics and how to defend your selves. From what I understand Apple Bloom has some training in the latter field all ready. Now let us begin follow me please."

The rest of the day was spent with Luna first explaining how each tribe's magic works then her teaching the them basics of the guard's hand to hand techniques. By the time nine o'clock rolled around the girls where all to happy to go to bed given Luna raised the moon during there training.

Warning this chapter will have male human x female anthro pony sex if this offends you skip this chapter.

The Knight with the Princess (Clop chapter)

Jay and Celestia walked to the balcony. The view would aloud both of them to see,where the sun set and moon rise was happening. A small table with two chairs sat on it a warm tea pot of tea and some cups was on it. "I always have tea after dinner it helps me to relax and unwind." Said Celestia as she took her seat and poured some tea for them.

"I can relate. Tho I preferred red wine, after a hard day, but then again my family did ran a vineyard." Said Jay.

"I see" she took a sip of her tea. "You must have had a tough job being a leader in your war." Said Celestia as Jay took the other seat and pulled it round next to her and sat down.

"You have no idea three months in and both sides lost half there respective populations. And when you consider that the Principality Zeon had a third the of the resources and population of the Federation. I'm sure Zeon will win the war, our suits are better, our pilots are more skilled. It is inevitable that the Federation will fall. But there will be lots of losses. There is always losses, but that's war." He took a sip of the tea and grimaced before putting his cup down. "To bitter, never liked tea. Guess growing up around wine does that."

"I see, maybe this would be more to your taste?" Her horn glowed the tea set vanished, then a click from a wall in the room reviled a hidden wine cabinet. From with in it floated two glasses and a bottle of wine. "I been wanting to pop this one's cork for over a thousand years. Luna all ways preferred moonshine or hard liqueurs. So I never got a chance to share this one with anypony that can appreciate it." She pours them both a glass. "It is form the the time of the three tribes. This wine is older then me."

Jay took a sip and relaxed back in to his chair. "Oh that's heaven in a bottle. Is the vineyard still running?"

She sighed "No Dream Valley was destroyed long ago. By creatures called windagoes. This wine is a true relic of a lost time." She sipped hers and smiled. "I see what you mean. It was worth the wait."

"So I guess Equestria was not always the land of peace and happiness it is now?" Asked Jay.

She sighs. "Shortly after Equestria was founded, Discord took over. His rain of chaos forced my sister and me to stand up against him time after time we failed till we borrowed the power of the Tree of Harmony. And turned him to stone. After that we where made the the princesses. Then some time later came the war with King Sombra. He had taken over the Crystal empire and enslaved the Crystal ponies. Me and my sister confronted him with our forces.... it was a disaster. The history books say that Luna and I defeated him alone but he had a curse on the kingdom that made it vanish with his death. But that was not how it happened." She took a long sip of her wine.

"We lead a army Three thousand ponies of one thousand from each tribe. But it was not enough.... Sombra had a army of crystal golems. They wayed through our troops like water. It was a massacre. My sister and I did our best. But the two thousand volunteers and one thousand pegasi regulars where helpless against his army. It soon came down to our last resort we used the elements of Harmony the same thing that turned Discord to stone. What we did not know is the entire empire was wrapped in his magic so when we hit him the entire empire vanished leaving a frozen waste land.

We where called heros but it was a hollow victory. Our army wiped out a allied nation gone. I started studying under Star Swirl the bearded to be come a better spell caster, to protect our ponies. Leaving Luna to do all the work while I made public speeches and spent time flitting about other worlds with Star Swirl." She downed all of her remaining wine in her glass.

Jay spoke as she poured her self another glass. "Ninety nine percent casualties in your first campaign? I can see why you sought out a mentor." He took a sip.

Celestia sniffled " He was a renowned hero before I was born. The fact he agreed to teach me was a honor. And then in a parallel world I met my first love a good king Sombra. He was everything a good leader should have been.... But it was not to be. When Star Swirl found out he was enraged with jealousy, he altered the mirror so I could not see him again, and refused to teach me any longer." She downed her whole glass in one gulp.

She then continued as she refilled the glass. "I was heart broken and went to raise the sun. But then Luna wouldn't lower the moon! She was livid with me she was so consumed with loneliness and jealousy that she turned in to......" she started crying "I was so busy with my own things I ignored my sister, I didn't see that she was suffering. I....it was my fault she turned in to Nightmare Moon. I had to use the.... elements on her and banished her to the moon!" She downed her drink in one gulp as she cried.

Jay got up and hugged her. "It's ok I understand your pain. You did what you had to do as leader. But your not perfect no one is."

She lets it out and ask." How can you know my pain?" She sobbed.

"Cause I'm scared of being alone too. I lost my family they are gone forever. And your sister is back, she loves you, she clearly forgives you. You need to forgive yourself." Said Jay as he held her tight.

Celestia was crying her heart out as she hugged him tight to her body pulling him in to her lap. Celestia was eight foot three inches to Jays four foot eight inches. She held him like a teddy bear pressing his face between her breasts as she cried her tiers soaking his hair. He sit there rubbing her lower back between where of her tail starts and her wings connect to her back. "You not alone Celly I'm here for you, and you have your sister and nieces." Jay said tho some what muffled by her endowment.

They stay like that for some hours till Celestia brake the hug so she can look him in the eyes. "Jay.... will... will you stay with me tonight?" She asked her eyes damp with tiers.

"It will be a pleasure to Celly." He said before leaning up to kiss her she lowered her head to meet him half way. There lips locked Jay opened his mouth slightly inviting her tongue in. Celestia obliged him pushing her tongue in to his mouth she felt his sharp front teeth and canines. Causing her to shudder and moan as she feels his tongue slide under hers and up the side of it. For several seconds their tongues dance several times grazing against his sharp teeth. The finally brake the kiss to breath.

"It feels so interesting, to kiss a predator. I been wanting to do that again seance that day on stage." Said Celestia.

"You should have gotten me alone sooner." Said Jay he shivered a little as the wind broke over them.

"Lets go in side, so I can warm you up. After all if any pony can keep you warm, I can~" She said nuzzleing him.

The two got up Jay grabbing the wine and his glass as she grabbed hers. "Can't leave this out. Besides a little wine is nice for a night alone." Said Jay.

"Why do I have a feeling you look for reasons to enjoy a glass of wine?" Asked Celestia.

"Well I was a wine maker before I be come a soldier. Maybe I'll save some bits and open a vineyard." Said Jay.

"Planning for retirement?." Asked Celestia as she starts to take off her regalia and sets them on a stand by her bed.

Jay smiled and setting his glass and the wine next to Celestia's glass, he then sat on the bed sinking deep in to soft bed before he took off his boots. "No but it be nice hobby and the extra bits out of the nobles pockets would be nice. You would get yours free." He said as he sets the boots together on the floor.

Celestia Sit next to him causing the soft bed to sink further and bring them closer together. "Oh so I get special treatment cause I'm a princess?" She asked.

He chuckled as he started to unbutton his shirt. "No you get special treatment cause your sexy Anthropomorphic Amazon Alicorn Sun Goddess of Planet Jugs." Said Jay before his shirt came off and fell to the floor.

Celestia giggled and pushed him on to his back before straddling him. "Oh! Is that why my little human."

"Well I might have understated how beautiful and sexy you where." He said as his hands rub the soft silken fur on her thighs caressing her cutiemark.

"You know flattery will only get you in over your head." Said Celestia as her soft furry hands snaked under his undershirt and started to pull it up.

"Who said I don't want to be in over my head with you?" He asked with a vary cheeky grin before giving her flank a squeeze.

"Oh!" Said Celestia with a start at the feeling of her plush flank being squeezed with out warning. She smiled down at him before pulling the shirt up higher forcing him to raise his arms so she could remove it. She stopped just as his mouth was uncovered she stopped and kissed him deeply her larger longer tongue filling his mouth before she pulled his shirt off and tossed it aside. "Your all mine tonight. So don't hold back Captain~"

"Hold back? Celly, I'm special forces. We never do anything half way." Said Jay as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Celestia smiled. "Then let's finish getting you out of that uniform." Her horn glowed as she used her magic to remove his socks, pants and boxers in one fluid motion. Jay was clearly hard as his shaft, he was not as thick or as long as a stallion, but for his size was pretty big. Big enough for Celestia to notice it on her flanks. She smiled and started to grind her wide hips and soft plush ass against it. As she layed herself on top of him her larger breasts enveloping his face.

He reached to her large milk jugs. Celestia let out a soft moan as she felt his warm hands rubbing over her breasts his fingers finding her nipples and started to tweak them and rub them. She slid her hands under his back pulling him tighter to her body and grinding her soft aroused marehood on his shaft. He starts licking and kissing her breasts, giving them small nips grazing them with his canines making her shiver. She let out a deep moan as he entered. He slid in her deep tight love whole, it taking him in with a greedy contractions, squeezing and massaging his rod made him groan in to her large breasts making them vibrate.

Celestia started to rise up on his shaft then dropped down again slowly. Jay guided her left nipple to his mouth before he started to nibble and suck on it. Celestia was moaning loudly, as she had not felt like this in a long time. Jay was not being idol ether when she came down he pushed up thrusting his hips every time she lowered hers. Was it not for the sound proofing spell she cast when she shut the doors the whole castle would be hearing her now.

Jay moved her other nipple to his mouth and started sucking and nibbling on both nipples. Celestia started to pic up speed, her she was close oh so close one little thing could push her over the edge and then she felt it. He squeezed her breasts hard, as he came in side her. Celestia came a moment later screaming in pleasure so loud the doors and windows rattled.

Celestia relaxed on her lover panting. "That.... was... "

Jay chuckled under her but his limp rod was still held snug and warm in her. "You... were.... something.... your self." he muttered under her tits.

Celestia rolled over on her back holding him in place. She then wrapped her wings around him snuggling him to her bust as she teleported the blankets over them. "I think I need a nap you don't mind staying here the night?"

"As soft and warm as these pillows are I have no intention of leaving sooner then I absolutely have too." He said rubbing his face in here breasts.

"Good night Jay." Said Celestia

"Night Celly" said Jay.

World comes to Canterlot

Letters to home...

The next morning came faster then anyone human or pony would have liked. Jay had to regretability wake Celestia to get up. "Celly wake up I can't get out of your embrace. I have to get to work." He said softy as he shook her to the best he could.

"Do you have to?" She said in a sleepy tone.

"Sadly yes. If I didn't I would happily stay right here but I got a bunch of foals to wake." He said ending with a yawn.

She mumbled and pouted as she unwrapped him, causing him to shudder. She rolls over after he crawled out of the bed. "There is a private shower behind the the door on the left." She mumbled. Before going back to sleep.

"Thank you Celly." He gathered his clothes and went in to her private bathroom.

After a fast shower and getting dressed he was happily humming a tune as he left her room saluting the guards at her door as he left one shaking his head stopping the other from saying anything.

The night guard sniffed the air before noticing the small human round the corner with his box of noise makers. He quickly used the ear plugs deciding that putting them in was better then asking why he smells like Celestia.

Jay opened the first door getting a small shriek from Sweet Belle, as she was half dressed. "A improvement rookie. Hurry up and finish." He said before moving on.

The next door found Applebloom room empty but her shower running. "Come on rookie time is wasting! I thought you farm girls where early risers!" He called. The muffled reply was ignored.

Next was Babs Seed's room which to his surprise was inspection ready and Babs polishing her shoes. "Moring Sir." She said before she took a noticeable sniff and cocked her head.

"Don't ask, unless you really want to know the answer, Petty Officer Seed." He said before he turned to check the other side of the hall.

Scootaloo was sound a sleep in her room, Diamond and Silver where also a sleep in bed. Jay smiled a wicked grin. Babs existed her room in time to see the third grenade roll in the door she quickly layed her ears back and covered them before three consecutive blasts sounded followed by a string of curses and swearing on Celestia's name.

Jay turned and walked away whistling a tune. Babs a few steps behind soon joined by Sweetie Belle.

Latter all the girls where sitting in at there table waiting for breakfast. Jay came out with a cart with nine plates of pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, with maple syrup and butter, and a side of bacon and eggs. On seven of them. The last two had more pancakes and eggs but no bacon. He passed out the food giving the last two plates for Celestia and Luna. The girls looked puzzled at the food but wordlessly agreed to not ask.

Luna missed the agreement thogh and asked what was on her mind. "Why is there sweets in every ones breakfast and why dose thow smell like mine sister?"Asked Luna with out a second thought.

Jay just smiled and said. "I am in a good move after spend the night in you sisters bed." Making Celestia visibly blush. As well as the girls nearly choke on there food.

"Sister is this true?" Asked Luna in shock.

"It's not that surprising and thanks to Cadaince there is a acceptable level of partners we can pursue. She married Captain Armor, and Captain Johnson is not only a vary passionate lover, but actually understands me as a mare. Something vary few ponies do." Said Celestia.

At there table the girls where handling the things they just herd vary differently.

"Ok first thing to ask in class today. Tips on pleasing a human stallion." Said Scootaloo.

Babs just face hoofed. "Ask her that on your own time Scoots. I have 'anuff mental imagery in my head thanks to what I just heard and cause of these two foalnapping Fritz." Said Babs

"Second that cuz. I don't need to hear more then I have." Said Apple Bloom

Sweetie Belle finally got her food down and said. "I can't wait till Rarity hears abut this. Wounder if they will get married like Cadianca and Shining Armor did?"

Diamond looked at the human then to Silver Spoon. "I think that our chances of getting out of this just nosed dived."

Silver just looked at her and nodded mouth hanging open in shock.

Letter home that day.

Dear Rarity,

You always love the latest canterlot gossip well. This is sow fresh that the tabloids don't know yet. Captain Johnson spent the last night in Celestia's bed! At breakfast and when he woke us up we noticed he smelled a little like her. But Luna asked him outright in front of us, and he just out and said it making Celestia blush! She actually blushed before saying that not only was he in her bed last night but that he was and I quote a passionate lover and understands her as a mare. I hope he and her have a wedding soon. Though I wish he they would not discuss it over breakfast. Yesterday's training was hard I can say with confidence that I will lose any access body fat I have by the time I'm done. Might git some muscle tone too. You'll have to make me some new clothes. Something that I can go swimming in and make Fritz drool.

Tell Fritz I Love him. Love your Sister Sweetie Belle.

Dear every pony back home.

It was a hard workout and oh buck I know see where Twilight gets her lectures from. Celestia has the same mode as Twilight. Do me a favor if I start rambling like they do smack me sis. Also Jay and Celestia went for a roll in the hay last night. Like the kind you and rainbow have ever other week. I think they make a cute couple. Just wish they would not talk about with Luna while we eat. Some images you can't unimagin no mater how hard you try.

Also think next time you see Fritz tell him to send me and the other girls a photo of him self.

Love your little sister Applebloom

Dear Rainbow Dash.

You won't believe this Celestia and the Captain totally fucked each other brainless last night, shook the whole castle last night! I hope Fritz is as good in bed as the captain is by what Celestia said. I am going to have to ask her for some tips later. So how are things in town, quite with out us?

Love your biggest fan Scoots

Dear Fritz.

My last letter was to my family in Manehattan so today I'm writing you. Well I have a new respect for your training after yesterday and after this morning I never want to hear about Jay and Celestia's sex life again. Also Luna needs a up date on what is a appropriate breakfast conversation. Also I now really wish you were here. Casus as disturbing it is to here about two of your teachers having sex it still made me wet cause I imagined us doing what they did..... Fritz I and the rest of the girls are going to rock you world first chance we get.

Xoxox Babs Seed.

Dear Mom,

Yesterday Captain Johnson made me work up a sweat, then Luna made us start learning some weird earth pony kung-fu and some wired thing about earth magic. The captain said we can't buy our way out and this morning I found out he is sleeping with Princess Celestia! I'm very sorry Diamond's plan was a mistake on the spur of the moment. I want to go home.

Love your Daughter Silver Spoon.

Diamond watched as the other wrote. She considered writing her father again. But she decided to wait for his reply.

=============================================
Later that day after Celestia's class.

The mail arrived every pony got boxes from home and letters. Applebloom had received a letter from her brother and sister, as well as some baked apple fritters and some shower stuff. Sweetie Belle's package had been nothing but hygiene products and a bottle of hoof and nail polish from Rarity and their folks. Scootaloo got a package from Rainbow Dash and a letter telling her about how Fritz reacted when she showed him her last letter, her parents sent a letter asking her if she is doing ok. Babs Seed got a package and letter like her cousin but it had orange scented bath stuff and chocolate oranges.

Silver Spoon received a package of bath soaps and mane care products and imported Prench snacks and a letter telling her to stay strong and show them how she can shine.

Diamond Tierra opened her box then took out the letter from her father. Her face drained of color she then screamed, shredding the letter in her hand before tossing the box across the room spilling it's constants everywhere.

Jay had watched this and whispered to Luna and Celestia. "She now has no hope of escaping her punishment. First she denies what she did was wrong, then she tried to have her father pay her way out, now she hates the world for being unfair to her. Next are thing that she knows will not work. She'll try begging, threatening, then mopping, none will work and we will force her through them. Then she will accept her her fate and make it her own."

Celestia nodded "Wish I did that with Blue Blood..." muttered Celestia.

"Sister you are always to soft on our ponies. Especially those close to you. Which is why I approve of the Captain Johnson's harder approach. He is doing what they need him to do to help them." Said Luna who then smirked and added "I definitely approve if you want to make him my new brother in law."

"Luna! We only just started our relationship." Said Celestia dropping the whispering.

Luna smiled and countered teasingly with. "But you all ready sleeping with him? How modern."

The two went back and fourth the rest of lunch. As Silver Spoon tried to calm down Diamond Tierra.

Babs day three

Dear Mom, Dad, and Big Sis,

Sorry for not writing yesterday I decided to write Fritz. Ok big new from the past two days. The captain is going to have me out lifting Big Mac and running laps around zebra sprinters with the PT training we are getting. Luna is not being any gentler I mean you remember that Neighponese movie we saw a before I moved in with our Apple Cousins in ponyville. Yeah she makes that monk look like a cheerleading coach. The scary thing is when Captain Johnson shows us weapons. Learning to shoot the guns was cool the day before but watching him disassemble a rifle in under a minute then put it back together load and fire it in a additional minute was scary. He says we will be expected to do it on command, the whole bit in three minutes! I mean wow.

Also his new mare friend Princess Celestia is one buck of a teacher. Scootaloo had to ask the difference between human and pony bodies. Given the princess's intamit knowledge of there bodies. Or at lest the captain's. Of course that led to a anatomy lesson on all sentient life in our world.... I will never make a Dragon size joke again after learning how big dragons get and how big there.... hidden horn gets. That Kirin girl, the one who works at the Neighponese restaurant on the corner, her mom is a pony and dad is a dragon. I have a whole new respect for that mare. I mean wow!

Any way the biggest thing was the blow up Diamond had yesterday. Apparently her money is not buying her out of this and she just went off. She Silver and Scoots got grenade wake up again. Three days in a row now. She had the nerve to hit the captain with a pillow this morning he smiled and tossed a second in to her making me and cousin Applebloom couldn't help but laugh. But it got us scolded. I'm not looking forward to lunch he said this morning's fun gets us a special lunch. I hope he is merciful... And I get Diamond as my sparring partner after dinner.

Your loving Dughter PO2 Babs Seed.

Day five

Dear Mother,

I'm vary worried about Diamond Tierra. After that letter from her dad, she went crazy she has even tried to get the night guard to let us sneak away by offering her self to him! He just told us to get back in our rooms. I'm worried she might try something even more crazy if this keeps going.

What should I do?

Love your daughter Silver Spoon

Week two day four

Dear Fritz,

Diamond finally snapped, after launch during shooting practices she tried to kill the captain, shot him twice in the chest with a pistol. We all thought she just killed him when he hit the dirt. But then he got back up, with not a drop of blood on him and back handed her of her feet. Then spent the rest of the day PTing her flank off. Even made her skip dinner before sparring with her personally during Luna's class. This morning she is shaking like a leaf. When ever Captain Johnson says something to her, she just says "Yes sir!". I think she is scared out of her mind of him.

Love Sweetie Belle

Dear Everybody back home,

Diamond finally lost her mind yesterday she shot Captain Johnson during training. Then he got back up like something out of those zombie movies Big Mac loves to watch. He walked over and smacked Diamond off her hooves before making her his personal project of the day. We had to carry her to her room after Luna's class. If I didn't know better I'd say Captain Johnosn was immortal. I am vary happy he is ok but buck I had nightmare that night of Diamond trying to shoot Babs and me given we were both between her and the Captain.

Love Applebloom

Dear Twilight,

Please come by with a crow bar. Celestia is fussing over Diamond trying to shoot me yesterday. Come here and explain the body armor to her and pry her off me. I love when she hugs me but she has been carrying me around all morning and I have things to do.

Your loyal Guard Knight Cpatian Jay Johnson 1st Equestria Mobile guard unit.

Twilight's castle

Big Tom sighs "Ok you can go your highness take May with you for safety. She can give you hands on lessons in the Efreet on the way to Canterlot."

"Thank you for excusing me from my lessons today. Jay needs all the help he can get dealing with Celestia after what happened." Said Twilight as she walks off to get May.

"Wow can't believe that Diamond Tierra would go that far." Said Applejack "If she had missed she could have hit my cousin and little sister. What was she thinking?"

"She wasn't." Said Big Tom turning back to the other seven mares sitting at some rows of desks. "Every class has one in our world, some one that just can't take the stress and acts with out thinking. Normally they would runaway or just punch some one. Trying to kill the one they see as the cause of their pain or taking their own life, is vary rare tho'. I wounder what will happen to her now." He explained.

He picked up the the pointer "OK class back to the lesson. This is the......"

=================================
Canterlot hour latter.

"But she tried to kill you!" Shouted Celestia.

"So?" Said Jay

Twilight had gotten him free, but they decided to have May take over for him and Celestia today with orders to watch Diamond carefully and no gun training.

"Jay she tried to kill you why do you want to pardon her?" Asked Twilight

"Simple, she tried to kill me. That's why. She has shown that she can pull the trigger on someone she sees as a enemy. I won't trust her for a good long time but she is what is needed. I might have also pushed her to hard. I'll have her see a therapist as well. But I will not discard somepony who has the potential to be one of the best pilots in Equestria." Explained Jay.

Celestia looked worried. "Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yes. Don't worry I'll be more careful." Said Jay.

Month two Week one day one.

Sweetie Belle to Rarity

Dear Sister,

Guess what we got phone's today. There locked right now though just training mode for the military apps it will be another month before we get it unlocked to full mode. So send me the number in the one you have. They may let us talk or at lest text. I hope. Any way, you wouldn't recognise any of us now.

My body and magic is so strong now and guess what I got my cutie Mark last night. Luna decided to add court room eddicate. Then Scootaloo got to running her mouth when talking to a some of the ponies that Luna had invited to the test party. Well she said she thought I was a better singer the Sapphire Shores to Octavia from the canterlot quorte of all ponies. Well then I was asked to sing for the guest. Being polight I obliged after giving a look to Scootaloo of I will make you pay for this. They gave me a easy song the national anthem. Thankfully I knew it by heart. So I started singing as they played and well when I was done it hit me I just sang for a dozen canterlot elite and both Luna and Celestia a flash under my skirt was pointed out by Luna and well I got my cutiemark. The rest of the night was a celebration of that.

Even Diamond Tierra shook my hoof she then did something that I never thought the princesses would live to see she got on stage and gave a public apology to me and the rest of the crusaders. I don't know what her seasons with Dr. Nut Case entail but it definitely worked. She had been getting nicer but to swallow her pride like that. I and the rest for gave her and Silver, she has always followed her lead. Also Babs got a promotion along with Scootaloo. They are now team leaders and are Petty Oficer First class. For quick thinking in a training exercises.

Well I'm short on time. Write you again tomorrow. Love PO2 Sweetie Belle.

Response

Dear Sweetie Belle,

I have to come up to canterlot on business so you will just have to show me. I promise not to tell Fritz what it looks like. That's something you should show him when you can. But do it properly at the right time. I'll also get some measurements for that bathing suit you wanted a while back. I'll also bring a camera see you in two days.

Love your big sister, Rarity

Diamond to her father.

Dear Father,

I am sure by now you know about the shooting incident. I wish I never done that now. I wish I never kidnapped or hit Fritz. I realize now that was a vary stupid choice. My therapies Dr. Nut Case, said its time I mend bridges I burned in my life. First was the Cpatian who I tried to kill. He smiled and said that I came closer then any person ever has and the only one that lived to talk about it. I think that was his idea of a joke. Next was Silver for being a bad friend. She forgave and asked the same. We hugged that out. Last night I publicly apologized to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They forgave me also Swetie Belle got a singing cutie mark. She has a real gift for it.

Now I want to say, I'm sorry. Sorry I was such a bad daughter. Sorry I was ungrateful brat. I guess I needed this structure in my life to help me see what was wrong. I just wish I didn't need to commit two crimes to see it. I am going to make the most of this chance, my third chance now. I think I also found something for the next Little Miss Ponyville Computation next fall. If I can get leave for it.

One day to help our hand eye coordination the captain showed us competitive drilling I never seen some pony spin twirl and toss a weapons with so little wasted movement. I have been practising it after dinner before Luna's classes. It was harder then I thought but he actually helped me. After checking if it was actually a practice gun.

I am starting to see a future in this. I may have missed winning Fritz's heart. But I now see I have more options even if Ponyville is sparse when it comes to Stalions Equestria is a big nation. Also now that my eyes are open I see a lot of cute guards here and how much Silver Spoon means to me. Well I will have to cut this here I have to write a apology to Fritz.

Love you daughter, Petty Officer Second Class Diamond Tierra.

Response

To my dearest Daughter,

I am so happy to hear from you and so proud of you for how you changed. I to want to say I'm sorry to. Sorry I failed you as a father. I hope you like the supplies I sent with this letter. I wish I could do more. I will be at your graduation that is a Pinkie Pie promise and she is here as witness and has made the sweets I'm sending you.

Your loving Father, Filthy Rich.

Diamond to Fritz

Dear Fritz,

I'm sorry I know Silver apologized a while ago. But now I want to. I understand if you don't forgive me, but I am sorry.

From Petty Officer Second Class Diamond Tierra

Fritz to the CMC

Hay girls,

I'll be in canterlot next few weeks. I'll try to stop in and see you, but Priest and me will be busy at the bases in Canterlot and Ponyville are both near completion as well as a new hidden rail line. A straight line through under ground a tunnel to and from the two. It's really cool. Priest is encharg of the project now that the logistics of building stuits are settled. She is now over seeing construction organization for two sets of work crew plus the building and engineering teams. I am being put in charge of over seeing the first suits built in the factory are up to the standard need of them. I'm also bringing Flash for the ride as a live training flight.

See you all soon, Fritz

Month two week two day seven

Babs to family

Dear every one back home,

You a not going to believe this one. We get one day off a week randomly but it's usually Friday night. It's also cause it Captain Johnson's and Princess Celestia's date night. Yesterday me and the girls went out on the town.... in uniform. Rule while we are in training uniform at all times even on the days off. Not so bad cause it gits us inn to a lot of places and when they hear we are guards food and drink are free for us.

Anyway, we where out looking for a new club to try. Diamond being the high class act she thinks she is (though she has gotten better) likes to be seen in all the hot spots. This night we find our selves in a club called and I kid you not. Nightmare's Moon. The place was not bad lots of the rich foals of the canterlot wealthy went there. The bouncer carded us and nearly fainted when he saw the military IDs.

He asked us if we here on business. Scoots being Scoots then boasted, "if we where here for business there be six mobile suits towering over you not six of the hottest mares in Equestria. That had to have made the bouncer's night as he lifted the rop with a smile and said to go in.

The club was jumping Diamond seemed to find a winner. The walls and ceiling looked like the sky during a solar eclipse. Live band was all Thestrals, which is cool. The center pice of the bar though was a life size Nightmare Moon that looked like she was dancing. The thing was a magicatronic puppet like what they have that one pizzeria on the corner with the singing animals. Only instead of singing and jokes it just stood on the center stage and danced for the crowd to the music the band played.

After about half the night on a bet with some drunk stallions Scootaloo was up on the stage dancing with the Nightmare even kissed it. Then some shouting came from a waitress as some colt grabbed her and pulled her in to his lap. When a bouncer tried to intervene the colt pulled a Griffin pistol from his mane.

What happened next was a blur, the training just kicked in and we acted. Sweets used her magic to throw a light plus in the room blinding every one looking her way. Silver, Diamond and AB tackled the other ponies out of the line of fire and me and Scoots where just on the colt. Knocked the gun out of hand recused the waitress and pinned him to the ground. It happened so fast most didn't even realise what happened till the other bouncer stared to help his coworker to tie up the jerk.

That's when Applebloom called out that me and Scoots got cutie marks. We lifted our skirts and there they where mine was a shield with a three seeds in the center and Scoots got wings of flame coming of a heart on fire. She mumbled about it being a little girly but accepted that what it represented was cool. That means only AB needs her mark.

Love your Daughter Petty Officer First Class Babs Seed.

Scoots to Rainbow.

Dear Rainbow Dash,

I GOT MY CUTIE MARK! We where at a club I was being awesome stallions wanted me mares wanted to be me. You know like how it is where ever you go. Any-who this jerk starts harassing a waitress. Pulled the mare in to his lap. Then the security tries to toss his flank out and he pulls a bucking gun. A Griffin one shot pistol. Seeing it me and the girls go on automatic me and Babs disarmed and lay the creep out like laundry while the other girls keep the bystanders safe. As they took him out Applebloom pointed out me and Babs got our cutie marks. Mine is a flaming heart with wings of fire. Not as cool as yours but still awesome!

You biggest fan PO1 Scoots.

Response

Dear Scoots

That is awesome and vary cool cutie mark make sure you give Fritz a vary good close look at it first chance you get with him up there. Oh and I got a A rank over all in my simulator test. So I am as awesome at using a mobile suits as I am at flying. You better work hard, after all your going to be one of me and my friends guards now so you can't let me show you up hot stuff.

Your proud big sister Rainbow Dash.

Month two week four five

Applebloom to family.

Dear everyone back home,

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have finished there quest! I was the last one to get there cutie mark. We went to the factory yesterday, for basic field maintenance training with captain Johnson. We saw Fritz in passing but he was working hard cavored in gear grease smudges and sweat holding a blueprint of some suit or another, talking to a few ponies in coveralls like he was.

We passed by him to hanger with some finished suits where standing but each had what the Captain called a minor malfunction. We had to find and fix it on all six suits in 5 minutes or we would have to wait another week before we start training in suits. I was the first done, mine had some loose wires. I then went to help the other. Each suit was a different problem when we got them all working we cheered. Then the captain said something I'll never forget. "Congratulations ladies thanks to Applebloom's talent for machines you all start suits training tomorrow. I'll let you all go bug Fritz till lunch." It was then my eyes lit up and I lifted my skirt and there it was a apple flower in full bloom with a wrench and a screwdriver crossed over it.

After cheering and giggling together we started to leave when the captain held out a instant camera and said he remembers twilight mentioned we wanted to give Fritz a picture. So as a reward for all our hard work he over the past two moths.

We soon found Fritz and we decided to surprise him about our cutie marks. So we gave him the camera and then lined up for a photo. He counted down to three and on cue we all shifted our hips and lifted our skirts just in time to get our cutie marks in the shot. Fritz was caught off guard making Diamond and Silver laugh as he stumbles back. When the picture developed it was a perfect shot of us flashing him our cutie marks. We spent the rest of the time with him being as distracting as we could even letting Daimond and Silver help distract him.

Love your little sister PO2. Applebloom.

Month three week two day two

Dear Mommy

I'm now glad you made me do this. I feel better about myself now, more confident and I look great. I did before but now we get colts and stallions stopping and watch us walk by. At the club's here we are getting free drinks cause we are guards but also guys buying us them. The team leaders have a reputation in the clubs as the jerk busters which scare away most the shady characters.

But the best part is my mobile suit. It is just a Zaku I sniper. But the precision and finesse the controls need. A millimeter off makes the difference of yards at some ranges. It's a bit of a ego boost that I am the only sniper of the six of us. I hope you will come to graduation. We where told that it will be part of the unveiling of the royal suits for Princesses and their court and we will get lead parade for Princess Twilight and her court just like the royal, night and crystal guard will do with the other princesses.

Hoping to see you there PO2 Silver Spoon dedicated marksmare

Dear Father,

I feel like a new mare now. I can bench 600 pounds now with out trying. It's so amazing to finally feel like a real earth pony. I was always told earth ponies are strong and have incurable endurance. But never really believed it, till Luna taught me how to tap in to my earth pony magic. Now I understand why Granny Smith dose all those silly superstitions too. It's earth pony magic old school as it gets even by Luna's opinion. But that is why you do business with the Apple family. They do things with traditions so old that nothing works better and there product is better then any other.

I am piloting a Zaku II-J with Babs. The captain is a clever human. He showed me that the drill tricks can be done in a suit. Fritz and Priest had a fit over him show boating with a loaded rifle in the hanger. He just laughed it off saying he was just having a little fun.

I think his insanity is what Celestia likes about him. He's more controlled then Discord is but only just. He is skilled pilot he actually went one vs six with us in training. He used the same pant weapons as we did. But wow can he move his suit. Six on one and we lost every time. It's scary how good he is. He said that it is the skill gained from being a ace. All of his team are aces. It's humbling to think I will be standing next to them from here on out.

You loving and improved daughter, PO2 Diamond Tierra.

PS. Send us some cakes

Dear Rainbow Dash,

I saw your suit in the hanger. It's awsome looks so more epic them my and Sweetie Belle's Zaku II-J, and that paint job looks badflank on it. You and the others get really cool suits. I can't wait to do the parade. Saw Flash putting the your model mobile suit thought their paces in the training grounds. He sucks but that's better for finding flaws. Between him and Fritz I know our suits will be reliable, or at lest idiot proof.

See you then, PO1 Scootaloo

Dear Rarity,

First thanks for doing swim suits for all of us. While Fritz hasn't seen them yet we did go to a pool in canterlot and if the local reaction is any idea. Fritz will love seeing them on us, and as Scoots said taking them off.

I saw your suit and Rainbow Dash's are done. Yours is still being painted but it will look fabulous. I can't wait till I get a real uniform instead of these trainy uniform.

Will I still have to go to school when we get back to Ponyville? I am pretty sure we are ahead of our grade level cause of Celestia's classes. It be awkward to go back to school and well know what the teacher is teaching us all ready.

My suit is a Zaku II-J type like most of the girls it's in the color of Twilight's guard but it's still nice.

Love your sister PO2 Sweetie Belle

Dear Mom Dad and Sis,

My Zaku J is something else, but the suit type cousin AJ gets is amazing though. Applebloom is the gear head but even I can see the power difference between the two types of Zaku. It is amazing to pilot one I can only compare it to the thought of being a dragon.

Well I will be in the unveiling day parade, I hope you can make it up to canterlot.

Love PO1 Babs Seed.

Dear every pony at Sweet Apple Ackers,

Wow the time flies. I'm piloting a Zaku Cannon like Fritz but mine has what is called a Gatling Gun in place of the big cannon. You know the big guns on the shield of Captain Johnson's suit. Twilight's big brother has similar suit as me only he has extra shields on it, from what Fritz told me. I can't wait to see you on the parade day sis. I hope a lot of our kin come to see us in it. I heard that big Tom came over and helped build a special barn for are suits. I can't wait to see it and Ponyville base. I seen the canterlot one it is something else.

Love PO2 Applebloom

==============================================
Day before the public unveiling

Twilight and company arrived in canterlot by the supper train tunnel. Dash loved it a all day trip cut to thirty minutes by the new train. The canterlot end had a hub station and what looked like preparation to build lines to other major cities.

"Ok even if it is a hundred feet underground that is the coolest train ever!" shouted Rainbow Dash.

"Look at the size of this place. How much of the mountain they dig out with out any pony knowing?" Said Applejack.

"One third of canterlot mountain. We could have dug at half of it out. But we decided to limit the digging to non hard rock for both speed and durability all the walls of the cavern of Canterlot base are solid Bedrock and granite. We had Maud over see the digging. Your sister has been a big help." Said Fritz.

Behind him was the CMC the moniker no longer being use as the name of the four fillies but now all friends. The stood in the lavender dress uniforms looks proper. Babs stepped forward, "Salute!" She called al them snapping a crisp salute. "Second mobile unit ready for parade detail you highness. All suits have been checked and cleaned and are on stand by for tomorrow." Said Babs with pride.

Twilight smiled "At ease girls I'm proud of all of you for how much you grown. Especially you two, Diamond and Silver."

"Thank you. This chance has come to mean a lot to us. Right Silver?" Said Daimond.

"Yeap, it is a honor to be a member of your guard your highness." Added Silver.

"I'm glad to here it. Now come lest have fun tonight. Tomorrow is a big day." Said Twilight.

Author's Note

Thanks to Zaku666 for editing.

Is this punishment for something?

Factory Beetdown, brawl under Canterlot Castle

The griffons followed the directions and find themselves in a massive underground chamber where they found not just the suits from the parade but three regiments of them, one of each guard unit stood in paddocks like sleeping sentinels waiting for a call to action.

"Ok that's scary, like the empty armor in old castle. Only bigger and more intimidating." said one griffon.

"I know. This is scary I mean how do you fight something like this." Said the second griffon as he pulled out a camera and started to snap pictures of the place.

The older one flew up to a high catwalk and looked around. "Hey check this out!" He called down. The other two joined him and there beaks hit the floor.

From there vantage point they saw train rail system. Massive rails the size of ponies stretched off in to a huge tunnel. Sitting across two of massive rails was large train on it with a several massive freight cars and one large passenger car. The passenger car was only noticeable by its windows. But what was scary was the train engine had a set of naval cannons on it. With smaller guns on freight and passenger cars.

"Is that some kind of train or a warship?" said the first griffon.

"Both I think, but how many boilers or how big of one is inside that train engine. I see no smoke stacks on it. But look at the open car." He said to the older griffon as he pointed.

"Wait those are some of the giant armors from the parade on the train? And what the hell are those armors?" Said the first griffon as the second snaps pictures.

The train bound for Ponyville was the being loaded with not only the suits of Twilight and her friends, but the suits of the humans that where going back with them tomorrow. The suits that stood out on the train were the Kämpher and the Efreet witch where the most visible on the car. As well as May and a gray earth pony mare in dark blue dress trench coat thing, inspecting some crates that had yet to be loaded.

The second Griffon aimed the camera at them and snapped the picture, unfortunately the lessen caught the light from overhead causing it to reflect of it. This caught Mays attention causing her to look at the catwalk.
The Griffon with the camera lowered it and gulped. "Guys I think human noticed us."

"Impossible how could she notice us from way over there." Said the older one, but as if ordained by fate that's when a shot rang out echoing in the cavern and a bullet pinged off the metal railing right in front of, him making him jump. Then the whole place was bathed in red lights and a siren sounding. The railway was being closed off by a pair of giant doors. "Wing it!" Shouted the older griffon.

The three flew for the mine shaft they came from only to find it sealed with six guards in the new uniforms with the new rifles. "Surrender in the name of the princesses!" The leader of the group shouted.

Two of the griffons took off in different directions as the youngest pulled his flint lock and fired the ball hit the chest of the lead pony but to shock of all and absolute terror of the griffon it only staggered the unicorn, his seemingly cloth armor stopped the ball cold. "Fire!" shouted unicorn and the ponies pulled the triggers. A storm of bullets poured forth at the griffon who was now running but none of the shots hit and the ponies soon emptied there mags.

The griffon slowed down and hid behind a crate. "Feathers what was that! They pull the trigger once and fill the air with bullets. I am just lucky they suck at aiming or I'd have more holes in me then a changeling." He pants to him self. He looks at the camera and sees just how lucky he really was as the one or more had ripped the camera lenses to pieces. He was lucky the film was not damaged, but he could not take a chance on losing it.

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

The older griffon had taken down a tunnel and found him self in a weapon factory. Only it was one for the giant armor and not for the infantry. "Figures I get lucky enough to find more weapons then I could want but I can't use any of them." He complained.

"It's worse then that. You ran buy me ducking in here and didn't notice." Said May as she stepped out from behind a conveyor belt. The griffon spun round to face her drawing the top the line griffon rotary shot blade.

"Your the human that fired on me earlier. With a pistol? I admit your weapons are impressive. I heard the rate of fire those repeaters the guards had put out. Bit wasteful, but it is a vary strong morale braking weapon. And your had cannon was a lot more accurate then it had any right to be." Said the griffon pointing his gun at her as she pointed her two at him.

"Not really, the new ammo is not mixed right throws of the accuracy by a lot and makes to much smoke. I was aiming at your head. I am knight Lieutenant May Tachibana of the harmony guard First mobile suit division. Who do I have the honor of fighting?" Said May as she put one pistol away and drew her sword.

"A knight? Well I am Sargent Marcus Bonewing. Fifty year veteran of the Griffon Empireal army." He said with a smile.

"Pleasure I was worried my skills would get rusty, living here. Do make it a challenge for me." said May.

"Those fangs, that predatory glint in your eyes. This chill in my spine, my wings itching to flee. We both have the most advanced guns in the world for close quarters. I haven't felt this alive in a long time." said Marcus.

The two stared down each other. The griffon fired first putting two shots out May dropped to the ground before the hammer finished its cycle. She pulled the trigger once hitting the griffon in the claw making him cry out in pain and dart for cover. May took this chance to do the same. "That's a nice gun. Would you mind if I kept it after you die?" Asked May as she moved around the belts and machines.

Then Marcus chuckled as he switched to his other claw. "What you don't want to take me alive?"

"I was not trained to capture enemies. My father taught me swordsman ship when I was young, my mother taught me to shoot. And the war taught me how to do both more effectively." said May.

She rounded the coroner with a swing of her katana which the griffon blocked with his pistol's blade. He then jumped back as she pulled the trigger of her pistol. His quick reflexes saving him from getting nothing worse then a cut on his cheek from a close bullet. He returned fire with another two shots witch she deflected with her sword in one motion. He gulped as he backed up. "Ok now that was impressive, I am starting to wish I was thirty years younger." said Marcus.

She smiled at him "Sorry your not my type. Wrong gender." She said.

He sighed. "I finally meet a female that is a real warrior and she is a lesbian." He snapped another shot of which May returned with one of her own the 45 cal pistol round and the musket ball met in the air fell to the ground at the griffon's paws... "Well that happened..." Said Marcus looking at the mashed bullets.

Regaining his wits he looked back up, just in time to see her fist strike him on the bridge of his beak sending him to the floor. When the stars stopped spinning he found himself on his back with her sitting on him looking at his gun. "Nice piece very ornate you must have earned it. Not surprised if you are a spy." She put it down her top. With handle sticking out. She pulled her pistol out and emptied the spent shells leaving one left she closed the cylinder. "We both fired five shots. I have one left." Cocked the hammer and pointed it at his male bits. "We are going to play a game." She drew and held her sword to his throat. "The rules are simple. I ask you answer, if you don't answer I pull the trigger and see if it's my last shot. You try to escape I cut your throat. Understand?"

"Yes ma'am" said the griffon.

"Ok good. Now why are you here?" she asked.

"To investigate the new weapons Equestria has." he said.

"How you get in?" She asked.

"We asked a guard after we got lost in the castle." He said. He smiled as her eye twitched he knew that guard was going to get it.

"Who ordered you to do so." she asked.

"Not telling." He said and then his eyes went wide as her heard her pistol dry fire.

"First was blank let's see if your luck holds out. Who sent you." She cocked the hammer back. In the distance they heard the sound of pony gun fire signaling that one of the patrols found a griffon spy.

"I won't tell you." There was loud bang and he screeched in pain before she silt his his throat.

"You had very poor luck." Said May.

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

While that happened the other griffon had slipped in to old mine.

"Pinfeathers, they said this was risky. But when did ponies pass us in weapons?" He said thinking out loud.

"About half month after the humans where Knighted." Said Maud behind him making him jump and pull his gun which she grab and squished the barrel, splintering the wood on it with one hand. He backed up eyes wide.

"Feathers a earth pony in a underground tunnel." He said as he backed away.

"Actually this is natural cave formation made of granite and water runoff from past rains. I'd prefer it if you surrendered peacefully. I am a rockolgist not a soldier." Said Maud in her in her neutral tone.

"Wait your just a nerd." Said the griffon.

"Actually I'm a rock farmer I just went to school to help my family run the farm better. But I got picked for this cause I am the foremost expert in rocks, gems and minerals. I was a good student and the teacher said I might like those classes as well. She was right. New kinds of rocks." She said as he walks towards him.

"Well I'm a soldier!" He shouted and jumped at her. She side stepped him and landed a left hook on his head and there was a wet crack and his head bounced of the wall. Leaving a smear of blood on it.

"Opsie. I think I killed him." She said in a more morose tone as she grabbed his tail and started dragging him back to the main area. "I hope I don't get in trouble for killing him. I also hope Pinkie dose not find out."

As she reached the main section she could hear a lot of shots begin fired. She looked at the body and sat down to wait for things to calm down.

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

He was having a bad night now more and more guards had shown up with new guns. They still can't hit what they aim at. But with so many it's only a matter of time till they get lucky. He was running through the base. Every turn seemed to have guards around the bend. He was holding the camera close to protect the film then he saw it. Glancing out windows of the building he was in, in to the cavern and saw air vent in the roof. He looked back ahead to see guards in front. Looking over his shoulder he saw guards and that human female coming behind him.

"Feathers this will hurt." He said before he shot the window and smashed through it taking to the air. The ponies open fire missing badly. He smiled as he reached the vent and started pry it open.

"I told them we needed more smaller vents rather then fewer big ones! Give me that rifle!" Shouted May before she grabbed a rifle from a stallion and fired three shots.

After he got the vent open he felt something hit his back then two more in quick succession. He crawled in to the vent and started coughing up blood. He looked down and was shocked to see that the bullets had gone strait through him and he was bleeding badly. "Got *cough* to get to the surface." He coughed up blood as he climbed up it. He reached the out side of the vent and saw he was on the mountain side of Canterlot mountain. He pulled out a flare tied it to the camera strap lit it and tossed it. He watched as the flare was falling till another griffon dove from the clouds and grabbed it and carried it away. He smiled before he passed out and tumbled down the mountain side.

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

Throne room the next day.

"How the fucking hell did this happen!" Shouted the Captain. Behind him stood the princesses, as well as Shining Armor and Blueblood.

Lined up in front of them was May Maud and some fifty of Luna's night guards. May and Maud stood and took the verbal abuse with out flinching the guards where shaking in fear. The knight captain was shouting at them with a fury and decimal count to match the Royal Canterlot Voice.

"This is exactly why I was against the parade! Not only did three griffon spies infiltrate our factory but one had a camera and made it out with it! On top of that his camera was not with him meaning we have to assume he passed it off to another agent! I have half a mind to arrest the lot of of you for dereliction of duty! Plus at lest one of you clowns last night is guilty of aiding enemy spies! " He was now huffing and puffing.

"Your right sir. We have no excuses for our failure. I was the only one that was able to hit the third spy but i missed his head which aloud him to escape. I am willing to take any punishment you see fit." Said May the guards to her right looked at her like she was insane.

"You did noting wrong Luetenet Tachibana. In fact unlike my guards you where able to hit the griffon in a open space, witch my guards failed to do in a confined space. As well as one gave them directions to what is or was a secret base." said Luna with a cold tone.

"A non-combatant had to stop one of the griffons. The federation forces where not this incompetent and they sacrifice there own troops. I mean what is wrong with them, why can't they hit a target right in front of them? I mean they hit the target in training but in their first battle they forget their training. I know only the guards who pass the basic training get guns." said Jay.

"I am deeply disturbed as well there has been a marked decreases in the quality of competence in the royal guard over the years." Said Celestia with a sigh. "That said we have discussed what to do at length and decided to give the responsibility of reforming the guard to Princess Twilight's Knight Guard Captian Jay Johson, as well as giving Twilight herself full authority over all appointments of guard mobile suits pilots." countered Celestia.

"You can count on me Celestia." Said Twilight with pride

"I agree, with the guard as they are they are a danger to public if we put them in mobile suits. Princesses I requesting that all Wonderbolt active and reserve units be brought in for retraining as well as suit training. As they are the elite of Equestria guard forces they must be ready to respond to any threat as well as fill in for the slack that will come when other branches are being retrained. This means Rainbow Dash as well." Said Jay.

Twilight nodded "Of course. You are the knight Captian of Equestria. I'll leave you to do as you see fit. Just don't be too hard on her." said Twilight.

"Now where would the fun in that be? May you countiue as planed go back to Ponyville and start teaching the testers for the civilian suits. Take Maud with, as reward for her action she and her family will get a civilian suit tuned to help with their rock farm. Also Princess Twilight I'd like to barrow Applejack to help me question the Griffon diplomat Miss Ironclaw." said Jay.

"Of course she'll meet you at her room." said Twilight.

"Well then I guess for now we are done here." said Celestia.

"Almost, I expect all of my night guards to triple there physical training regime till Knight Captain Johnson starts their retraining program." said Luna.

"And they will be the last on the list so I expect them to be in the best shape of all the guards I train." Added Jay getting a audible groan form the guards present.

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

Two hours latter.

"A'h don't know what help I can being here captain, but I sure will try." Said Applejack she was upset that her mare friend was not coming home with her today but she understood why. That doesn't means she likes it mind you, but she won't hold it against Jay. As he was just doing his job after all and was at one time in his life a farmer so they both had a understanding about doing what you have to do.

"Your the element of honesty, I'm hoping that means you are good at seeing through lies. Also if she knows who you are it might shake her up. Besides your bigger and stronger then me so if she tries something I feel safer having somepony competent with me that is strong enough to handle her." said Jay.

Applejack blinked. "Wait your trying to use me to both be a lie detector and your body guard?" she asked.

"No if I wanted a body guard I'd have May or big Tom here they would kill her the instant she tries something. I want you here to restrain her if she tries something. Your a farmer and rancher. So you have practice at restraining troublesome animals and well I heard about how you and Rainbow Dash play around with ropes and you always have one in your hat. Oh by the way, sound proof the walls in your house. Apple Bloom has a very intimate knowledge of what you and Dash do in bed." aaid Jay.

Applejack's face went red "Eeyup." Was all she said. She also made plans to do just that when she gets back.

Jay knocked on the door not even looking at the day guards that stood on ether side. "Miss Ironclaw! It's Knight Captain Jay Johnson of the Harmony guard I am coming in to speak with you I also have the Element of Honesty with me!" Called Jay through the door. Before opening it and walking in with Applejack behind him.

He closed the door and looked at the Griffon. He seen one or two around and was not put off by her sitting there in a lacy bath robe seemingly letting her head plumage dry after a shower while working on a model of a Zaku Kai. She looked up and smiled. "Given I was placed under hose arrest I guess some Griffons got arrested doing something stupid that will make my job harder." she said.

"Actually the three spies are dead. One had his throat slit after his balls where blown off, the second had his head caved in by a earth pony and the last bled out from bullet wounds. But they had at lest one accomplice who the last one was able to pass a camera off to. We know it was damaged but not if the film was so if you have it, turning it over or telling us who dose would help your situation." Said Jay smiling as she dropped her modeling tools and covered her beak.

"I... I..." she ran in to bathroom and was heard throwing up.

"Guess she didn't know they where killed. But did you have to tell her how they died." Whispered Applejack.

"She might have known they were but the how has a nasty habit of making you visualize it. Also given I said earth pony with you here she might have it in her head that it was you who killed one of them. Which will shake her more and dissuade her from funny ideas." whispered Jay.

She came out of the bathroom and sat in her seat. "Do you know there names?" She asked.

"Only the one that dueled my lieutenant. One Marucs Bonewing of the Imperial army. The other two are unknown." said Jay.

"I... see. I ask cause my eldest son joined the army." She lowers her head. "I was asked to use the event to gather information on the new weapons, armor, and the new race. I sent it out last night by messenger birds on the ship. But all I got was some information about the a factory in the mines from lose lips Blueblood, over heard her and the buffalo diplomat about civilian suits and more powerful mobile suits you humans have, and a little about you have a new airships being built. Oh and that you have some crazy plans for the night sky. Can I see if either the other two is my son?" said Ironclaw.

Jay opened his camera and pulled up the first picture the griffon that was shot to death. When she shook her head he looked at her and asked. "You sure you want to see the other one? His head was crushed."

"If it could be your son would you?" She asked in response. He nodded and showed the picture of a griffon with a mangled head. She sighed "It's not him both my sons have there fathers feathers. His are the wrong colors. Thank you for showing me." she said.

"A'h don't blame you for needing to see. Ma'h little sister is one of the pilots for them new mobile suits. And I'm more then a little worried about her and her herd. The whole lot are pilots." Said AJ reaching out to her as family minded mare.

"She was with human Luna was talking to? I think Fritz was his name." she asked.

"Eeyup that's them. They are good bunch of girls and Fritz is better then I could have hoped for her our cousin and there friends. But I still worry even if she is wrapped in the giant metal war machine." said Applejack.

"Yes. But until we can confirm you have no connection to this event you will remain in your guest room. All mail and packages will be searched with no exceptions." He looks at the model. "I'll have them bring up some more modeling tools and some painting supplies. So you can properly finish your hobby." Said Jay as they started to leave.

At the door Jay smiled. "My suit is black with dark red trimming. It's not a Zaku but I thought you like to know the colors I use." He said before closing the door.

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

Canterlot armored train platform.

"Buck I can't believe that the bolts are being called for retraining first. This is totally not cool." Said rainbow as she watched her suit being unloaded by the engineering team. She hated to say it but she looked forward to the first ride on the world's fastest train.

"A'hm feelin' the same way Rainbow but you know as well as any of us that it's long over do. Besides with wonderbolts going first it will set a example for the rest of the guards and they will be done faster and the sooner the bolts are done the sooner they can cycle the other guards through, and the sooner you will be back home with me. So show them why your the not only the fastest flyer but the most awesome pony around." Applejack gave her big kiss "Now be sure to look after ma'h sister, as well as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They have to stay here and run guard patrols till the princess can get some more pilots that they can trust not to wreck the city." Said Applejack as she held Dash in a hug.

Dash pulled back and gave her marefriend her trademark grin. "Is it just me or is it kind of ironic that it's safer to trust the Cutie Mark Crusaders, then the guard to patrol Canterlot in giant war machines?" Applejack gave her shove as she laughed at her joke.

"A'h'll be waiting for you.... And sound proofing ma'h bed room. Apparently AB been hearing us and talking about it." said AJ.

"That explains so much about some of Scootaloo's questions." Said Rainbow Dash.

Pa: "Last call all passengers. Engine one is now leaving for Ponyville Base. Last Call."

"A'h got to go Sugar Cube. Be safe." Said AJ as she boarded the train.

"I will and you be careful, too." Called Rainbow Dash as the door closed.

Ponyville start of Equestria's first mobile suit school. With instructor Lieutenant Tachibana

May looked out at her class, twenty students sat in four rows of desks. It was more then she expected but at lest it was still a small class. She smiled. "Welcome class, to mobile suit piloting school. Where I will teach you how to safely own and operate your own mobile suits. We have special simulators set up to teach you how to control and operate them but before you get to that you must first study and pass a written exam to show you have learned and understand safety and operation laws." explained May.

She watched as Big Mac slid back in his chair with a look of dread, along with Vinyl Scratch and few others. The first class was a mix group of randomly selected volunteers and chosen testers. Big Mac, and Maud Pie where both selected for this. Vinyl Scratch a local DJ, Cherryjubilee a farmer from Dodgejunction, Gustav a griffon baker, and several others from across Equestria have been selected to be in the test class. All from different walks of life.

"So let's begin with turning to page one in the books in your desks."

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

Sweet Apple Acres six hours latter.

"Howdy Big Mac! How was your first day of school?" Said Applejack as Big Mac walked in.

He sat at the table and laid his head on it. "Nope!" He said in his deep tone.

"Come on Big Mac it can't be as hard as all that both me and Bloom passed it and we had the added training of how to fight in the things. Shucks mine ain't even set up to do farm work but it's been huge help in rearranging the fields to get more use out of that Zaku tractor he is sending us. And that means you need to know how to use it so it can keep harvesting apples if I'm out doing harmony things and Apple Bloom an Babs are on duty." said Applejack.

"But..." started Big Mac.

"No buts mister! I was against it at first too but after turning one field in to three. In the time it takes to do half a grove sold me on it. Know I assume you have home work to study?." said Applejack.

"Eyup..." Said Big Mac with a sigh.

"Then get it done before dinner." said Applejack.

Big Mac nodded and opened his book bag. Part of him in his mind was laughing at how he and AJ had been in each others roles back when she was a filly. The universe loves it's irony.

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

Sugar Cube Corner

"So Maud how was class?" Said Pinkie as she brought Maud some muffins.

"It was exciting that famous DJ Pon-3 is in it. The one who you work with. I had to contain my self to not fan filly. After all you introduced me to her music." Said Maud with her normal sedated tone.

"Oh yeah. I worked with her a lot so she gave me some free recordings of her songs. I'm happy you liked her work, you only normally like rock." Said Pinkie.

"Yeah but her music has a good heavy beat. It's solid like rocks. The teacher is also really something. Lieutenant Tachibana has a real solid presence when she speaks. Her eyes are also vary captivating like when you crack a geode for the first time and sun hits it right away and makes it sparkle." Said Maud with a vary small smile but no noticeable change in her voice.

"Oh my gosh! Your hot for your teacher!" Pinkie shouted, Maud was thankful it was just the two of them in the store alone.

"Pinkie not so loud. What if somepony heard you. Please let me get my homework done. Besides aren't you suppose to be working?" Said Maud her tone taking a do as your big sister says feels, but not changing that much that others would notice with out knowing her.

"Oh my gosh! My upside down triple chocolate death cake!" Pinkie shouted and zipped back to the kitchen.

Maud chuckled and shook her head "Never change sis." Said Maud in her normal tone.

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

Babs was bored and slightly miffed. Fritz was staying in Canterlot. That was going to happen even before the Griffon spies. But before Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle where going to have to wait for him with her. But now the second unit was split up her Diamond and Sliver where in Ponyville on guard while her her stud an herd sisters where in Canterlot. "What did we do to piss off the captain?" Asked Babs over her team com.

Diamond popped up in a window on the right side monitor. "Nothing Babs, our team is just better suited to patrol her in Ponyville cause Silver is scary good with a sniper rifle."

Silver popped up on then left. "Also if there is an aerial threat I can hit it from here with out them knowing what hit them. Sorry you can't be with Fritz."

"Yeah I know let's finish our patrol and grab some hayburgers. I'm getting hungry." said Babs.

"Roger!" Said both her team mates with cheer.

The three mobile suits tromped on through the Everfree forest as they scanned for any dangerous animals getting to close to the castle or Zacora's hut.

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

Ponyville base under Twilight's castle.

Sunset was singing a song as she downloaded her mp3 list in to her suit. "My past will not define me, cause my past is not today~"

"But that flank bouncing around up there sure will!" Shouted Trixie from the outside the suit.

Sunset turned around and looked to see Trixie and Twilight giggling on the catwalk of her suits paddock. "Your just jealous that Twilight likes my flanks more." Said Sunset turning to give her hips a shake.

"No pony's flanks are nicer then the Trixie's Great and Powerful Plot." retorted Trixie.

"Oh so your saying you have fat ass?" Asked Sunset sticking her tongue out at Trixie as her jaw dropped and eye twitched at how Sunset just played her.

Twilight was laughing at the two's antics. "That's enough girls *giggle* We got things to do today remember." Said Twilight getting there attention.

"Yeah I know but it's too fun getting under Trixie's coat like that. She makes the cutest pouty face when she is flustered." Said Sunset as she jumps out and pulls both of them in to a hug.

"Trixie will make you pay latter." Said Trixie as she and Twilight returned the hug.

"Ok, come on we have a lot to work to do. Jay has what we both hope is the harder job. We have to find ponies not in the guard willing to become guards." Said Twilight as she broke the hug.

"Maybe we be better of trying to summon more humans? I can think of five who would jump at the chance to hang out with us again." said Sunset.

"Sunset remind me what happened to you double when you met her?" asked Twilight.

Sunset sighed and lowered her head. It was not even something she meant to do but it was her worst dead. "Two of the same being can not share a space in the same universe. So when my human counterpart saw me and her first reaction was to hug me, the universe corrected for there being two of me and merged us together with each other. This resulted in a battle for which one of our minds would survive and thanks to my magic, I won and the human me was absorbed in to me." Said Sunset with sad tone as she remembered the first and only time she took a life. "At night I still feel her in side. Her memories some times rise up in my dreams. But the worst is when we met her joy turning in to fear. As we became one and I over powered her. Sometimes I wonder if she is still alive in me somehow. Maybe is should ask Luna about it? You should have seen her parents reaction to it when I told them what happened after the whole she demon event. Her father actually tried to have me exercised... it didn't work and punched out the priest for coping a feel while he was trying. You think a holy man would have more control of himself." Said Sunset with a shake of her head at the last part.

They now were stepping in to the elevator that connected the base with the castle basement.

Twilight shuddered. "That can't have been pleasant. Is that why you stayed where you did?" asked Twilight.

"Yeah I mean I kind of did absorb there daughter didn't feel right living with them anymore. Not everything I did is redeemable. Though it was exciting when the Dazzlings moved in. Also made rent easier. By the way got tickets to there show in Canterlot next month. They said that there agent the retired singer Nightshade understands wanting to play Ponyville but, with it being a small town still, they need to do more popular cities to build their new rep before the can have a show here and expect big turn out." said Sunset.

"Trixie doesn't have a problem filling Ponyville theater two nights a week." said Trixie.

Both Sunset and Twilight laugh. "That's because you have Sunset and a certain princess in a sexy outfits on stage as your beautiful assistants/co-stars in your show. Though I'm surprised that the, try to out do the magic trinity gimmick portion of the show you came up with went over so well." said Twilight.

"Of course it went over well. Anypony that can do something we can't do gets a huge boost in there profession. Remember that earth pony that could actually shape stone like clay? Well he is now one of the highest demanded Geomancer artist in Equestria. We made Stone Touches's career, when we admitted he bested us." Said Sunset who then smiled. "And everypony in this elevator knows you get off dressing up like that in public. Or did you forget how we celebrate after the show?" Asked Sunset.

Twilight blushes. "Ok my turn in the ribbing. But nether of you complain." said Twilight.

"Why would we?"Asked Trixie before the elevator dinged.

The three stepped of the elevator and started up the stairs to the main castle. They went to Twilight's library and settled in at a desk with a lot of paper folders on it.

"Ok these are the service records of all active duty guards in Equestria and the Crystal Empire. Cadence sent hers for review to see if hers need retraining. She also requested we send a teacher for that." explained Twilight.

Three hours later.

"You've got to be kidding?" asked Trixie.

"I agree this is really the extent of guard skill and effectiveness." said Twilight.

"And you questioned my logic of using a army of zombiefied teenagers. Based on this me and those two flunkies I had could have taken Equestria over by our selves after the transformation. Puts it perspective how important you and your friends are to Equestria." said Sunset.

"I find it hard to believe, that after the Griffon pony war two hundred years ago, the EPU guard would degrade so bad." said Twilight

"It's Prince Bloods fault." said Sunset

"Blueblood wasn't born yet." said Twilight.

"Not Blueblood, his father Royal Blood. A descendant of the princess Platinum. He was in charge of national spending. He thought that after there defeat and internal turmoil of the griffins, that followed the guard was to big a cost to maintain so he cut some of there budget and diverted it to payroll for other things. Grant you one was reconstruction. But a good amount found its self in his and now his sons bank accounts." explained Sunset.

"Somehow I'm not surprised. But we have a problem, based on the base requirements there are less then twenty in the whole guard. That is counting the Crystal guards. There records are better but they are slow at adapting to new training my brother gave them. The mobile suit and modern weapons are even worse jump they will likely need the most time of all guards but will at least be more effective afterwards." said Twilight.

"We should ask the captain to send some one up to start training them now in small groups." said Trixie.

"That's a good idea but humans are getting spread thin as is Fritz, Jay, and Priest in Canterlot. Pierre is on leave to help his mares who are close to giving birth. May is tied up with her lessons. That leaves just Big Tom and Sofie available." said Twilight.

"You forgot Flash." Added Sunset with a smirk.

"No he may be the best guard we have next to the crusaders..." Twilight stopped mid sentence. She smiled "I know who to send." She said in a almost scary tone.

"No! Besides they are in Canterlot." said Sunset.

"Not all of them. Babs and her team are here." Said Trixie then her eyes widened "No! They just finished there training and two of her team are documented bullies. What they would put those ponies though Trixie can't even begin to imagine." Her voice sounding worried.

"It's settled. After all I still owe my brother for not telling me he was getting married himself or he was dating my foal sitter. Besides he and Cadence need suit training." Said Twilight with a scary grin as she dialed her phone to text the orders out.

"Suddenly I'm glad I was just blasted with a rainbow beam of goodness." said Sunset.

"Trixie too is thankful that our marefriend never held a grudge against Trixie." said Trixie.

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

Hay Burger twenty minutes latter.

"Can you believe that hydra in the bog tried to eat my suit." Said Silver before she took drink of her Fizzy Pop soda.

"Nice to know the heads don't grow back if you cut them off with a heat hawk though. But given its super heated and cauterizes the wound on impact makes sense." said Babs.

"Yeah I remember Luna said that you need a flaming weapon to stop a hydra from regrowing it's head. So standard issue is flaming weapons." said Diamond.

"Still bummed it ran way when it was down to one head. Wonder if we could have counted towards becoming Aces?" asked Sliver.

Right then all there phones went off. "Horseapples. That's the mission signal." Said Babs as she opened her phone.

"It says report for transfer see team leader for orders?" Said Silver sounding puzzled.

"Same." Said Diamond as she and Silver looked at Babs.

"Report to train station Alpha for transfer to Canterlot then airship to.... The Crystal Empire?! Mission training instructors for Crystal Guards and The royalty by order of Princess Twilight Sparkle." said Babs.

"Who did we make mad?" asked Diamond.

"You want that list chronology or alphabetically?" asked Silver.

"Stow it the both of you, we are not being punished. We are just most qualified available." Said Babs "Now finish your meal and let's go get packed." Babs then took a bite out of her fish sandwich.

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

Crystal Empire throne room.

"Love is in bloom~ A beautiful bride, a handsome groom~" Cadence's phone was ringing.

"Hold on one moment that's my princess to princess ring tone." Said Cadence to the court. "Hello? Oh Twilight what's up. Unum, yes yes, really? That's great news! Oh? Oh really? Ok I'll let him know. Love you to little sis." Cadence hung up the phone and looked at the nearest guard. "Would you be so kind as to find my dear husband and bring him here." She said in sickeningly sweet tone that scared the guard to his core. Prompting him to salute and run. "Thank you. Now where were we?"

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

Canterlot Armored train station next day.

"Babs I heard you team gets the fun job." called Fritz.

Babs hugged him. "Has my cousin and the girls been letting get some sleep?"

Fritz blushed as some work ponies chuckled. "Sadly yes they work double shifts getting sleeps between patrols making it look like we have night and day guard teams patrolling. It's been crazy for them all." explained Fritz.

"So you are alone most the time?" asked Babs.

"Not alone they been sleeping in the pilot's nest. The bartender set up a low table and some cots for them. They eat and pass out, then Priest or I wake them up for the next patrol. Luna is worried about them from their dreams." Said Fritz. He looked to see the the last of there suit set for the airship as the rise up the lift.
The got off at the ship dock to see not one but twenty-nine heavy cargo airships waiting to launch. "Wow so these are our stand ins until the real ships are ready?" asked Silver.

"Yes sadly their the only ships able to carry suits. For your trip home we will have the first Iron Vulture class ready. Have fun I got to get back to yelling at the the ponies in the factory. For a bunch of engineering ponies doing simple assigned tasks is hard." He said before kissing Babs good bye before going back down the lift.
Babs, Diamond and Silver each boarded a ship with their suit on them. Babs walked to the bridge and found a fat pegasus stallion sleeping in a lawn chair as two others played cards all wore the new Equestrian navy uniforms witch was redesigned so they don't feel left out. They would get Mobile suit as well later but fore now theare just earmarked for new ships. Babs cleared her throat waking the ship's captain. "Petty Officer First class Babs Seed Harmony guard Mobile forces." She said with crisp Salute.

The captain smiled. "Fleet Admiral, Icy Winds at your service doll. Welcome aboard the heavy gift." He turned to the two playing cards. "Hey boys if the lady is here then the ship's are loaded and we can pull anchor. Get you flanks in gear and spin props!"

"Aye, aye sir!" The two shout before jumping to work dropping the cards on the table.

He grabs the new radio the ship's whee fitted with. "Flag to fleet cargo is loaded, lads spin them rotors and grab sky lets show these ground pounders that the Air arm of the Equestrian navy is not the bunch of pampered slackers that the lazy guards are right lads!"

Confirming shouts came from the other ships so load they didn't need to use the radios. The massive doors open and the ships start out of dock engines humming with power.

"Them humans are something the new engines that Fritz built for the older ship really has made travel time shorter. But its still a three day trip by air." Said the Admiral.

"Thanks sir it's even longer by suit and train lines to and from can't yet transport suits yet. Rest assured if any pirates or bandits try to cause trouble my team and I will defend your ships." Said Babs nervous about working with such a high ranking officer.

"Call me Icy, doll. You're not part of my crew your my guest and cargo. So no need to be formal. Besides your commander got my man something to do other then train while we wait for the new ships. So don't worry about that rank stuff. Airponies and Sailors are never happy in port. And with all the refits and decommissioning of outdated ships for new ones a lot of us are going sit crazy. It was Captain Johnson who suggested having small navy crew run cargo and new patrol gun boats that can be made quickly. Several of my poker buddies are having the time of there lives zipping about in the bays and rivers many are pushing to keep their new little boats. So save the formality for with others." said Icy.

"Then call me Babs. I'm one of Fritz mares we haven't officially made a herd but we call ourselves his herd." Said Babs relaxing.

"Whoo that colt is lucky to have you and some other mares. Makes me wish I was a young pirate hunter again. With new ships we been promised we will clear the seas and skies of them black hats in no time." Said Icy.

"Maybe will work together when Navy gets suits. You don't need to be a young colt to pilot one, and you don't need much more then a good head on your shoulders to be able to. So with a little training you might have your own suit leading the fight yourself." She said with a chuckle.

"Now now doll. Don't go giving old stallions ideas that he can still be a wild mustang. I'm liable to throw my back out." He replied with a laugh and his two bridge crew joined in.

Babs smiled. "Well it's not much but I can tell Fritz to put in a word for you with Luna for the first ship ready." It's nice to see ponies that can get work done and still smile about it." said Babs.

"The stallion's eyes went wide. You mean your beau is that important that he has the princesses ear? He was only a chief petite officer? From what I was told that only a gradefour one above you." He said with surprise and confusion.

Babs giggled. "Yeah but he is a Knight CPO. Not just a regular guard, knights out rank all other military personal. It's kind of daunting really. It's more understandable that a knight would be giving orders. But I'm just a petty officer first class. My team and I have to train the Crystal guards and the Prince and Princess. I am more then a little worried we might not fit the bill." Said Babs looking out the window two Cloudsdale in the distance.

The captain sits back in his chair. "I understand, you are on your first mission. It's scary. It's hard. But given you assignment, I have some advice for you. Your job is to train so Remember how you where trained and do you best to recreate that." He said with sage voice you expect from a old sea-pony.

Babs shook her head. "I think your right, but... they are so going to hate us when we are done then." She smiled. "Our drill instructor was the the knight captain himself. He was, well... rough on on us. And I can promise you he will be worse on the guard back home then anything we can do."

"Sounds like the Tartarus raiser the guards need." Said the Icy before he chuckled at the idea.

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

Canterlot training ground.

Rainbow was running laps with the other bolts but not in training gear no full battle dress and kit. Somethin that is almost never seen on a bolt. Right know tho she was counting every blessing of the princess and discord. That she was listed as a Wonderbolt pilot as it gave her a different BDU then her team mates had on. As hers was a flight suit that had been made to keep pilots comfortable. But the rest of them heavy bulky combat gear mags and rifles. Making her start to like her little s.m.g. Even if it didn't have the punch of a bigger gun. She had known what was coming thanks to Scootaloo's letters. But buck did she leave out how he rode your ass.

"Move it! You fucking pussies! I am just a human and I'm not tired yet! Your not just the best pegasis ponies you are the best Equestria has to offer! So let's see some hustle!" shouted Jay.

"You heard the knight captain! Slackers move your sorry flanks!" Shouted Spitfire who for asking why we can't fly the laps was now carrying him on her shoulders. Though she was still ahead of Rainbow Dash by a few feet she was clearly not having a good time or a easy one.

"Ok that's a hour! Go wash up then it's lunch time!" Shouted Jay as Spitfire let him down from her shoulders. She was soaked in sweat. Before she took charge again getting the bolts lined up and heading for the showers. We had some reservists wash out as Jay called it. Those that stayed stayed did so because they see this as their future, that said, it is not like they imagined but this would make them all stronger and more effective.

Rainbow stood under the shower head. "Buck I had less kit and even I'm tired." said Rainbow

"Tired nothing! I think he is trying to kill us." Said Lightning Dust. She had to wait a year but she got in to the wonderbolts reserves too. But she was pushing to be the second Wonderbolt pilot. Determined not to be out done by her friend/rival Rainbow Dash.

"He's not trying to kill us. Spits maybe but not all of us." joked Surprise.

"I heard that Lt.! Shouted Spitfire from her spot on the floor under a shower head with Fleetfoot washing her back.
Fleetfoot then spoke up. "She has a point captain. All you-"

Spitfire cut her of. "Question the orders of our superior officer. Who is retraining us on orders of not one but three princess. I had stepped out of line and he expanded that to me during our run. So don't hold it against him. I brought that on myself. Is he harder then I am or other instructors. Yes. Is that bad no, he came from a world where your training was vary well made the difference between life and death. So he is not training us to do shows or stand around as crowd control, but to fight and win." Spitfire explained.

"She's right I have earned the Gouf suits in simulator and there are three mission lines of it one is his combat experience. The missions are insane I mean launching in to low orbit then hard dropping in to a enemy base in side what's basically defenceless pod of metal? He has a pair on him to do that kind of mission." Said Rainbow Dash.

"Why is that?" Asked Lightning trying not to get angry about she was that far ahead of her in the simulator.
"Cause of all the things that can go wrong. At launch the rocket could blow up if there is a malfunction, if the angle of decent is wrong the pod could burn up in the atmosphere, then there is the enemy air defense weapons, and you have to hope the pods braking thruster fire right so it slows it descent to safe landing speed and not just pancake on the ground. Then the charges on the hatches need to all go off in sink to open the hatch and let the suits out. In the simulation you hear and see com chatter of just that happening. It's scary to think that you are watching the deaths of actual humans.

I mean I know it's to late to stop it but that dose not soften the guilt you feel knowing you are seeing friends of the captain die. But what really makes it hurt to think about is he presses on to the fight not even stopping to glance at the fallen. The conviction and training to do that must bee incredible. I know I got shot down in simulation more then once when a person you seen and fought beside gets shot down, and I can't get past the disbelief." Explained Dash as she washed her breasts.

"That is why he is a knight. How many of us can honestly say we can push on and finish a mission if one of our wing is killed right next to us?" Asked Spitfire.

The room was quite save for running water. As that concept sank in.
Later in the mess hall.

"Hey ladies what kept you having to much fun washing each other." called Thunderlane earning him a smack in the head from Blaze and Spitfire's brother Fire Streak.

"Some of them are sister and twins on top of that you know?" scolded Fire.

"Lieutenant Fire Streak! I'm perfectly capable of disciplining the reservist my self." Said Spitfire as she walked over to them.

"Sorry Ma'am. Big brother mode kicked in." said Fire Streak.

"Airpony Thunderlane, attention!" said Spitfire as Jay rolled a food cart with a large pot on it and some things wrapped in foil on the side. Just in time to see Thunderlane stand and saluted. Then gets kicked right in the stallionhood. To the stallion's credit he held his stance but made one hell of a funny face. "Next time keep you perverted fantasies to yourself understand." ordered Spitfire.

"Yes Ma'am." Squeaked Thunderlane wile trying to hold posture. Jay would give the guard credit on one thing they can hold a posture when most humans would need to figet or collapse.

"Good, at ease Airpony." Said Spitfire with a smirk.

"Thank you Ma'am." He squeaked out as he collapsed on to the floor. The other ponies laughed at the stallions misfortune. Dash and Cloud Chaser stop by him and shake their heads.

"You so know we will be telling Flitter about this right?" Asked Cloud Chaser.

"Seriously dude. You deserved that." Said Rainbow Dash.

Both walked over to a table leaving Thunderlane to gather himself. Jay worked his way round the tables serving up bowls of stew and loaded baked potatoes.

"Today's lunch is loaded baked potato, yes it's hay bacon you bunch of winners, and the stew is snake and dumplings. One of my specialties, so eat up." He said before helping Thunderlane to his seat and giving him his food and a glass of ice that swiftly use to sooth his pain.

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

Night patrol Canterlot.

"This is crazy. Why was Babs's team the lucky ones to get instruction duty? asked Scoots.

"That's the way it goes besides. We got glamour of working in Canterlot and besides how often do you think they get to catch. Drunks trying to make love in the park at night. Said Sweetie. As she activated the spotlight on her machine gun and had the camera snap a picture for her collection. "Uh oh some pony is cheating. This the second time I caught him with a different mare." she snickered.

"How y'ah know he's cheatin'?"asked Bloom.

"Easy he has gold ring her was silver and the last mare had gold braid ring his is a plain band." Said Sweets as she sent the ring pictures as she moved on chucking at the stallions ranting that he will have her drummed out of the guard.

Scootaloo chuckled as she watched from her patrol line "Fat chance we are locked in for three years. Maybe I'll transfer to the bolts after the punishment is up?" Said Scootaloo planing out loud.

"As I was hopping we could stay together." said Bloom.

"Not likely fate my Times up I'm going to the reserves so I can sing." Said Sweeie Belle.

"Now that A'h think about it A'h would probably help Fritz in the bays most the time. But we are still the CMC and we are all going to be in Fritz bed so even apart we are united." said Bloom.

"Buck yeah. Once things settle let have the herd ceremony." said Scoots.

"Oh Rarity wants to make us dresses but I think I rather have a suit if you know what I mean."Said Sweetie.

"Second that!" shouted Bloom.

"Ditto for me." said Scoots.

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

Twilight's lunch meeting with her friends next day.

"I can't believe that all the guards are so bad." Said Rarity in shock.

"A'h can. We do more work then they do." said AJ.

Fluttershy had not just her suit model but a small set she caries with her in a basket. Each one representing her friends. "It's not their fault it's the nobles that cut their funding." Said shy as she watched Discord make the model of her suit mimic her gestures in the basket with his magic.

"Yeah and I get to hold a 'congratulations on not dieing during your retraining' party for each group." said Pinkie.

Trixie noticed that Discord had all Shy's models out and was having them sit in a circle an mimic what the pony they represented did even Rainbow Dash's who seemed to be doing exercise in the form of push ups. She decided to have some fun ad make hers do funny gestures with her hands under the table. "Trixie was surprised we found as many candidates as we did. But then the final screening by the acting Captain dropped it to nine meeting the standard need for fast tracking, the rest will take longer classes."

"And some will have to be transferred to fill slots in other guard units. So full teams can be deployed." added Twilight.

"What has me worried is these ponies are not stand up guards liken' the standard ones are. This one is even in the brig." said Applejack.

"I must say Applejack has a point. These guards are more ruffians then propper guards." said Rarity.

"That's a good thing." Said Sunset. Getting shocked looks from all the ponies. "I mean as one of two former villains in the room. I can say I saw no threat in the guards. I was going to use a zombie army of high schoolers to take Equestria. Based on what I learned in the review is that all I needed was my two flunkies and maybe one extra and I could have swept thorough them like scythe through wheat." The models mimicking the ponies stagger back in shock, except for Rainbows witch was now running laps around table and Sunsets. Sunset looked at discord. "What is your view of them Discord? After all you where a villain too."

Discord sighs and shakes his head. "I never bothered to even worry about them. They were a non factor to me."

Sunset nodded "I'm sure many other threats have either not bothered to account for them or saw them as minor issue. I'm sure They are rethinking things based on the parade and the humans that are the now the Knights of Equestria. That said we have to be ready for the ones that have the strength or the numbers. To try something. That's why I been practicing in my suits simulator before bed. I know that some of you have been practicing too. Just in different ways. I seen Applejack using it for her farm work, Pinkie has been taking hers to parties and using her bazooka with firework warheads, Rainbow is obviously going to be getting the best training for battle." Said Sunset pointing to each suit.

"Um... I been using mine. If I have to in to Everfree, and I been practicing as well. That is... I um... shoot the laser lock designation targets in a field out behind my house. Discord Also helps with his own conjured suits he puppets around. They are vary silly looking things though." said Fluttershy.

Discord chucked. "Well I just make them out balloons. It's nothing really." Said Discord smiling.

"I am starting to feel embarrassed. I only use my suit as advertisement. You know dressing it up with my logo on it and use it for deliveries." Said Rarity.

"Trixie needs to practice more." Said Trixie laying her head on the table.

Twilight facepalmed as she she did the same. "I been using mines computer to help with my research projects calculations."

The girls laughed at the silliness of how they used their suits.

Time marches on.

Pride and parenting

It's is only a few weeks till the first birth in Pierre's herd. To say he was collected, ready and calm would be a bold face lie. Pierre was a mess. He wished he was back fighting for his life then waiting for not one but three mares to give birth. The doctors worried about the health of the foals adding to his stress.

"Where is that tufuedog in garlic sauce and hot chocolate?" Asked Roseluck

"And my hay fries and rocky road!" Called Love Struck

"Oh some milk duds with cheese for me!" Shouted Cloud Kicker.

Pierre was shocked the first few weeks of the cravings. They even asked for meat from time to time. He was never the type to settle down. He always believed in the love them and leave them. But his friends saw fit to hold a shotgun herding. So now he is waiting for the first half breed foals to be born. He could not help but laugh at the irony he joined the war to run from marrying one woman now that by a mystical chain of random events he lived to "escape" the war, but was now married to 3 mares. Must be the karma thing the Captain had mentioned from time to time.

He has just finished his shopping when he bumped in to Big Tom. "Hey Frenchy!"

Pierre smiled. "Hey Big guy. How is the waters?" He replies.

"Calm even in the everfree. Met that seaserpent. The girls told us about. Head the size of a gunboat and long as a carrier that one. Nice conservationist, and vary sensitive abut his facial hair. The lake is extremely deep too. Nice place to sit in the suit and watch the fish." He looks left and right then adds in a whisper. "And the local mares swim." Said Big Tom with teasing smile.

Pierre just gives him a glare. "I have more mares then I can handle at the moment thanks."

Tom pats him on the back as they walk. "So how are the little ladies?"

Pierre chuckled. "Hungry and bigger every day. I'm just glad I got my Kämpher for when we need to rush to the hospital. Tho it is nice not having to hear your snoring any more. Having my own home has it's benefits."

Big Tom chuckled as he waved him of as they went separate ways in a intersection. Pierre was some what worried his step father was a drunk and his mom was well... a lady of the night. He him self was a gambler before the war betting on horses and other races as well as playing cards. Now he is a respectable Knight of Equestria and one of the highest ranking military offices with a large family. It's official the universe has seance of hummer.

After he gets home makes his mares there food. He sits down to go through the mail out load. "Bill, bill, bill, Equestria clearing house? Ceracel Butice Spring catalog.... It's been a year all ready? Wow. Oh Guard monthly. And look who made the cover this month."

Guard monthly Equestria military news

The Church of Stars priestess Samantha "Priest" Colt. The Amrored assault hero of the human world Zeon war for independence. Formally inducted to the church of the the living deities as new Priestess. She is also being officially anointed as the knight Chaplain the first in 290 years.

"Wow some one is making news." Said Pierre out load.

"Oh who?" Asked Lovestruck.

"Priest is been inducted to church of the living Deities and is the now officially a Chaplin now." Said Pierre.

"Wow that is big deal. That is one of the major religions in Equestria. The others being the order of chaos, church of Celestia, and servants of the true Queen. There are others like the temple of the Night Eternal, Luna is not fan of them. But Church of the Living Dieties is one of the oldest from before the Nightmare Moon incident, it saw a major resurgence after Luna's return." Explained Roseluck.

"So I guess discord is not liked by them?"Asked Pierre.

"No they see the Alicorns and Discord as living gods. They view there actions as lessons and event all can learn from. Stating that even Imortal Deities make mistakes but they can learn from them just as we have to from ours. My mother was devout even before Luna's returned." Said Roseluck.

"I see so her star church must have a lot of similarity, for her to join. Maybe star reading will be added to it." Said Pierre.

The girls nodded "Luna's stars reflect the writing of the Fate Writer so those who can see there reflection can tell what's to come. At lest that's what the fortune tellers say." Said Lovestruck.

"Pierre.... my water broke." Said Cloud Kicker.

"Ok..... wait? What?! Fucking Shit!!!" Shouted Pierre. As he started running through the actions he drilled in to him self over the past months.

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

One mobile suit ride later.

Pierre was pacing back and forth in the waiting room his other two mares sat watching him. The doctor had kicked him out for being a in the way. He radioed in what was happening so his friends new what was happening, while he was on the way. Now Big Tom, who is off duty, Pinkie, and Applejack all came. Applejack had just been about to set up her stand when she heard the radio call. Pinkie keeps her portable on her for some reason along with her cell phone. So they came right over. AJ texted Twilight who is sending Sunset as soon as she can find her.

Sunset comes running in with a camera. "Sorry I'm late every pony I was in a simulation. I came as fast as I could. Twilight insisted I bring my camera as well. The first pony human hybrids in history. She wants pictures. She'd want the doctors to also to do a full blood panel as well, she wants to make sure the foals are healthy." Said Sunset.

A nurse nearby nodded her head and went in to the delivery room to inform the doctor.

"Oh Pierre, here, I remember reading that human tradition was to pass out cigars to celebrate a birth. In Equestria smoking was never vary big, but these candy cigars, where on the rage before I went through the mirror. The place that sold them said that there the best from prance." Said Sunset as she handed him the box.

"Mercy, Sunset. I appreciate the sentiment. I'm still nervous. Wish I still had wisky in my flask. But I swore of liquor so I could be a good father. Mine disappeared, and my step father crawled in to a bottle and never came out. It's why I was sacred of having a family. Afraid I'd be like ether of them. I guess I was, but well a new world a new life. I'm a knight, married and about to be a father. It's time I man up and be a proper officer." Said Pierre.

The doctor walks out. "Mr. Lafayette?"

"Yes." Said Pierre as he turned to the doctor holding two foals.

"Congratulations twins. Colt and Filly. The mother is resting, she said you can pic their names." He held out the two sleeping foals both had there fathers skin tone as their fur color, the girl was blond with dark purple stripe. The boy had lavender mane and tail with a white and pink streaks. Both there eye's where closed.

"The girl will be Vent Chanson Lafayette. Vent Chanson means Wind Song. The boy will be Tempête Étoiles D. Lafayette, his name means Star Storm." Said Pierre as he held the two. Boy kicked a little and yawned show his teeth, most noticeable was the set of canines like humans have smaller but they stood out in a ponies mouth. Sunset took a picture of him and his foals. That is when the two opened there eyes both had gold eyes bright and shining.

"Oh buck! Doctor my water just broke!" Called Lovestruck.

Pierre looked at her then fainted Sunset catching the foals in her magic. Both giggling and spraeding their wings witch matched there fur.

Big Tom shook his head. "Looks like you need more of those candy cigars, Sunset." He said.

"More like smelling salts." Said Sunset as she handed the foals to a nurse.

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

Meanwhile Canterlot base meeting room.

"Knight Captain why have you called us here?" Asked Luna as she Celestia, and Twilight sat in the desk chairs that filled the room.

"Fritz finally finished going over all the mobile suit data the unit had. He requested this meeting to address tactical issues he thinks he found answers to." Said Jay leaning in a corner.

"Ok then let's hear what you came up with Fritz?" Said Twilight.

Fritz cleared his throat. "Well we have two major problems first is far fewer qualified pilots then we had hoped. But given the technological jump that is being made it should not be a surprise. The second is wile suits are the most advanced weapons around, we have no long range support or true siege weapons. Heavy bazookas and missiles can do the job same with the Zaku cannon but not efficiently. And given most nations use some form of castle or fortress as primary defensive hard points at key locations. The Zaku cannon is a mid-rang support and anti-air weapons platform. Both its cannon and the missiles as well as all heavy bazookas lack the range and fire power needed for siege and artillery rolls. This, if a war does brake out, would slow any progress in counter attacks. Also it hurts defensive capability. The second problem is easy to solve as we have three options in our records. Data provided by the Captain's connections in the special forces gave us the data on the Ground Assault Guntank of the federation the plans we have thanks to a defector. While it is of federation designed suit. It is one of the best variation of there heavy long range artillery suits, something that they actually did good at. The other options are the mobile tank prototype YMT-05 Hildolfr the only proto type was deployed for ground combat and destroyed in battle but took out nine stolen Zaku's by its self. After that it's data was used to build YMS-16M Xamel artillery suits they saw limited production but had a Dom's mobility and could detach its cannon pod to be used as a fixed gun position for temporary fire bases." He brought up the technical data and diagrams on the monitor behind him.

"680MM cannons? That would tair the thickest castle walls to shreds with each shot!" Said Luna clearly imaging the suit in action.

"Yes and it would provide a grand detriment to attacker with them set up in defensive station." Said Celestia.

"Only problem is they lack mobility in rugged and forested terrain. They are ether fancy fixed guns or open land over sized tanks." Said Jay speaking his peace. "Now don't get me wrong they are usefull. My first time in a suit was when I stole a guntank prototype. Before that my gorilla force used stolen type 61 tanks witch while good are nothing compared to mobile suits. It was stealing that guntank and liberating five stolen zakus that earned us Garma Zobies attention. So I know how effective the suit type is but I also have blown up a lot of guntanks and while they have stupidly high armor they are useless in the wrong terrain." He continued pointing out the problems and highlighting weaknesses on screen.

"Yes I see if only we could increase the mobility some how?" Asked Twilight.

"Well if that's the issue I'd like to set up a team to work on that problem."said Fritz

"Ok and what about the lack of pilots? How do you propose to solve that?"Asked Celestia

"The answer to that is easy. I was going over the data Pierre gave me when I saw a off looking Zaku so I went digging. During operation British the second earth descent operation do to lack of pilots Zeon forces Deployed the zombie Zakus." Said Fritz.

Everyone was quite. But it was Luna who broke it. "Tho suggest we raise the dead to fill our ranks?!"

Fritz shook his head and laughed "No the Zombie Zaku are remote controlled Zaku autonomous combat units. One person sits in a command vehicle and controls 5 to 7 of them at a time."

"Why not use that instead of piloted suits?" Asked Celestia.

"Cause there is no honor in fighting like that!" Shouted Luna.

"Also they have 30% decrease in combat effectiveness compared to piloted units. I read the report on them when Fritz suggested it to me. They are basically expensive cannon fodder." Said Jay

Fritz's eye twitched at that remark.

"They are not disposable troops Captian. They are force multiplayers. One pilot becomes 7 letting them handle multiple threats at once." Said Fritz.

"It's interesting idea. But sounds more complex then regular suit operation. I'll ask Sunset for her opinion on the matter. For now hold of on their construction." Said Twilight.

Fritz shifted nervously. "Well I wanted to make sure they where ready assuming you all would have approved so I had one group built with a command suit...." all gleared at him. "They use the same bodies as standard Zakus. So I just converted five in to Zombie Zakus and one control suit."

"Petty officer Hammond! Of all the short sighted, stupid, irreplaceable, idiotic....." Jay then slapped Fritz across his face making the princess gasp and knocking him to floor. "Are there any other suits you pushed though with out clearance?" Asked Jay

"One sir. The Acg tunnelling unit. Drilling load out only. I had three built to assist in the base construction in ponyville... And the tunnel line. They are working with the digging team." Exsplaned Fritz.

"Who is piloting them?" Asked Celestia.

"I tricked Blueblood and some other nobles it was faster way to lean basic controls. As well as maybe move up on the priority list for the suit production." Said Fritz.

"You got Blueblood to volenentier? For a job digging?" Asked Luna threatening to bust out laughing.

"Well I had to build a test bed for beam weapons and it uses laser to cut rocks. So it seemed like a good idea." Said Fritz.

"Fritz first you will build Blueblood and his friends in the tunnels suits as thanks for their work, second for the next month your joining the bolts on the P.T. in the morning. Am I clear?" Said Jay

"Sir. Yes sir. Sir." Said Fritz with a sigh.

"Ok so unless there is anything else?" Asked Twilight.

"There is Flash, crashed a another Zaku in the training course. I see why his simulator scores are so low. He uses the Zaku like it's indestructible, so I took a closer look at his current scores. He is the lowest scoring pilot that qualifies, but it's cause his suit takes so much damage compared to the other. His kill count is on par with May and Pierre. He just can't seem to dodge or go around building or other obstacles. In short he's wrecking ball and suits can't handle his stile. If this was earth I give him a mobile armor and let him loose like wild war beast. I am going to work with him. But just in case we need a new heavy duty Zaku in case other pilots are this way." Said Jay

"Ok I approve the research team idea. The main goal is to make variation of the next lines of suits and the Zaku issue. Also to research New suits to fill the artillery roll based on the data we have. I will discuss what to do with the.... Zombie Zakus... with Sunset." Said Twilight

"One more thing I just remembered." Said Jay snapping his fingers "The scores of the navy volunteers are in. I was impressed they out preformed most of the guards that qualified for the short list. They are also better trained. It seems hunting pirates has let them keep their edge. So for the top forty eight be issued amfibbuse war fare suits. As the aquatic navy is only one whit ships that can carry them and the sea pirates are bigger threat do to the low numbers of the ship in the water. So the Zaku Marine should be good as a fast boost to navy strength." Said Jay.

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

Week later finale review for Zaku Zombie proposal.

"Well the idea has merit for filling out numbers. But when I was in the human world I saw the results and this kind of tactics in movies and comics. With out risk of life war becomes a game and political negotiations all but stop as the nation's can just send waves drone troops to settle the problem. The worst case scenario is that the machines become sentient and over throw their masters.

That said I think it be a wast to dispose of them out right. Perhaps it be worth studying them as well as using them to stress test weapons and parts before they go on piloted suits. You make sure to know the limits and find hazards before we risk live pilots. How much we can use them for testing remains to be seen. So we have to have a pilot test how much control the command suit has over the drones. But as spread thin as we are I'll go to canterlot to do the test my self." Said Sunset.

"Ok and we all know you just want to play with the new technology." Said Twilight.

"Trixie agrees, you just want to play boss with Zaku puppets." Added Trixie who was chained and upside down hanging over them practicing a new trick.

"Ok maybe a little. But you forgot something Trix." Said Sunset shooting twilight a smile.

"Oh and what's that?" Asked Trixie.

"Your helpless against a mare you just teased." Said Sunset before she and Twilight drag Trixie off to the bed room.

========================================(sorry not giving you the hot 3way yuri yet:trollestia: )

Two weeks later Pierre's house.

Pierre was now the proud father four. One set of twins (boy and girl) and two other daughters. His third born was name Chanson D'Amour (Love Song) Lafayette, and the last born three days latter named Bluerose Lafayette. His mares had been unsure about the family name thing but they accepted it as something like the Apple faimly. Who your related to matters to humans so they accepted it.

Pierre was surprised to know his daughters and son got his teeth while Bluerose looked just like her mother Roseluck only with Blue mane and eyes, and her coat was a shade darker. Chanson D'Amour was a unicorn, had his eyes and a green mane and her mother's coat.

The four where already a hand full dispute her name Chanson D'Amour was a little devil, she would have magic flair ups like all unicorn foals but they would be in the form of spell bolts. Needless to say by the end of the third day she was home every thing that could brake was broken or had been spell protected from breaking. But the biggest headache was the twins. Second week they proved that flight skill is connected to piloting skill, at lest that Cloudkickers theory, as it took her a few years before she started flying, but the twins would make her look a foal twice a day. Doctors say it's just their inner magic surgering but she calls horse apples on that reason.

Regardless of why or how Pierre was busy as he ever was. Changing diapers and actually lassoing foals out of the air. It took a few lessons from Applejack to help in that area. But as he and his herd finally got the foals to bed each nap time he could not help but feel, joy? Pride? And exhaustion. He was a father with a four kid/foal, and three wives and was a Knight. "I really survived that hell and found heaven...Priest was right miracles do happen. I think I'll look in to one of the local religions." He whispers to him self. Before going to his paint room to work in the quite. But no more then two steps away his son Tempête Étoiles D. Lafayette started crying. "I thought the girls where the ones that where spouses to cry all the time." He chuckled as he turned back to his foal.

====================================
Crystal Empire

"Twilight is a EVIL twisted mare to do this to her BBBFF and her sister in law!" Cried Shining as he and his guards ran laps along with the Princess.

Ahead of them ran a earth pony in the Harmony guard uniform. "I heard that Shining Amor if you have anuff strength to complain then you can give me another lap around the Empire!" Shouted Diamond Terira.

The Empire's Guard was spit in to three groups each rotating in there training. Diamond was in charge of PT. Silver was handling weapons, and Babs handled Mobile suit simulation training and hand to hand as the strongest of the three.

For her part Cadance was holding up well, she had been worried she was putting on weight but she had burned that off and then some with her new training. She had the option of only doing the mobile suit training but she chose to do full thing along side her husband and her guards to show her support for the troops and she was willing to stand with them. The wake up call took her by surprises and she was sure she was getting up before Aunt Celestia every morning now. She also loved what the training as done for both her and her husband's bodies. Plus the looks on the faces of the nobles when she comes right from suit training to court in a flight suit.

Silver was proud at first, but when she had them hit moving targets they failed badly. To ad incentive sent added a feature that triggered if the target got to a set point before being hit. This triggered sling shots with pellets that would zap them when it hit them. This made things clear that they needed to act faster and with precision and she also added a obstical course with a similar set up.

Jay had copied that in canterlot as it showed that the guards panic under pressure.

Now she used a new trick she would walk down the line fireing blanks behind their heads as they practice randomly. This had the result of making the first guards piss or shit them selves.

Babs was having the most fun with both sim and hand to hand training, she used sparing and she enjoyed wiping the floor with the guards one by one as they rotated sparing partners every match. In simulators she set them up in teams and had them fight for different objectives. Sometimes event giving each team a separate objective and not telling the other team what the others goal was.

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

May Tachibana's MS school day after final exams three weeks from the one year anversy of the human arrival.

"Ok Class. Here are your finale scores..........................." May smiled as she made them sweat waiting for her to pass judgement. "Congradutions! You all passed even you Big Mac. With the lowest score but still passed, you will improve with practice. You are all dismissed see you at Pinkie's graduation party." She said cheering for them.

The class hooted and cheered at her announcement. Big Mac sighing in relief. "Ok, officer Right Of Way, I'll see you in three months to help you set up for teaching the next group. Miss Pie can you wait a moment I'd like to speak with you. The rest of you don't have to go home but you cant stay here!" Said May.

"Oooh! Teachers pet is called after for some special lessons~" teased Vynal earning her a neutral looking but still unnerving stair from Maud.

"I'm out." Said Vynal before she vanished.

May walked over and closed the door. "I'm glad we are no longer teacher and student Maud casue now I can say this." She took a deep breath "Would you like to go out to dinner with me?"

Maud actually went slack jawed. After a few moments she regains her composer and with what Pinkie would say is her happy face said. "Yes I would like that."

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

Sugar cube coroner was the scene of a massive party. Out front new civilian suits stood in a row with their new owners getting pictures taken.

Every one was most interested in the new Agg suit being revealed. It had a been a surprise and many in the excavation, mining and construction fields wanted them for their company's. Maud waved at the cameras snapping pictures. Of all the ponies and Griffin there it could be said that Big Mac and Maud Pie where the most stoic as they stood by their suits. Pinkie who was hugging her sister was out shined by Vinyl who had brought spray paint and her wub cart to celebration she first sprayed neon stripes in random places on her new suit. She then started to play music. Her roommate Octavia joining in to celebrate.

Mood was joyful, cakes where half price and the music was load. Applejack patted her brother on the back. "You did it Big Mac. Now we can do the work faster and finish reorganizing the orchards faster. You might even have time to start dating." She teased.

"Nope." Was all he said to her but gave her a soft nudge.

The ponies cheered as the new minted Civilian pilots mounted up to take their suits home. Most them any way. And thus a new age began. Mobile suits took the first steps to becoming integrated in to Equestria every day life.

================================
Sugar Cube corner back door.

Maud had snuck out the back in a tight little black dress she had got not two hours ago from Rarity. It was simple but sexy Maud had never wore anything like this before but Rarity promised her secret date would love it. She only told Rarity that it was a date with another mare and she wanted to keep her younger sister out of it.

May pulled up in another magic drive cart (MDC). It was another recent invention by the Flim Flam Brothers. Based on how there failed cider machine traveled. It was massive hit in Canterlot and other high income cities. The mobile forces pilots have a large paycheck and knight's have a bigger still. So some pilots have have splurged to buy them. They had come out just before the the human arrival and now where over shadowed but still selling, tho only as a status symbol to the wealthy. There is a steam powered competitor from a buffalo Tribes but the magic is seen as easier to use.

May was in a fancy summer kimono, also made by Rarity, and sat in the driver seat of a two seater touring model MDC. Witch is smaller body made to be lighter and use less energy from the magic battery, that any unicorn can recharge.

May smiled and spoke. "Need a lift sexy." making Maud blush.

She nodded and climbed in to seat next to her. Then they sped off in to the night. Neither seeing Pinkie hanging upside down by a rope in and spy suit and a big smile on her face.

Politics (from the root wards poly meaning multiple and ticks a blood sucking parasite)

Time marches on.

The training finished just in time for the anniversary of the humans arrival the bolts and the first Gouf suits was the spotlight next to the marine Zaku and Zaku Racer unit the second for civilian use. This also marked the day five new race ways started construction. Ponyville Applefields raceway sponsored by the crown and Apple family who donated the land they can't use for farming, Cherry Hills race way in Dodge Junction backed by a several local farms. The Flim Flam brothers race way, witch also featured magic cart races and a dealership. The Canterlot Royal raceway which was considered the crown jewel of the four in Equestria, also a race way was started in the Crystal Empire called the Crystal Royal Colosseum which would host not just Moblie suit races but also magic cart races, Pegasus derbies, and a center arena for jousting, and other hand to hand combat sports.

Sponsors where being set up to support race teams and pay for the suits. The Apple Family was reimbursed for the land with three of the first Zaku Racers and these suits where on display at the Ponyville ground breaking. Other similar but smaller events happened at the other sites. Many ponies signing up for classes in mobile suit piloting. The next class May was going to have looked to be larger and would be held in Canterlot university.

The crusaders where back in Ponyville running patrols as the bolts took over in Canterlot with six pilots and three alternate they had it easier then Bloom and her friends did. Big Mac and his suit which Pinkie dubbed Little Mac as a joke became a regular site on market day. As he would haul a whole days worth of stall stock in a refrigerated trailer behind it that Fritz sent them to test. The demands for civilian suits and pilots for them was higher then expected. Companies have back orders to the crown for construction suits and Zaku tractors for farms and now local shipping cause the new temperature controlled trailers.

Flim and Flam hated the new mobile suits as they basically killed their market. As the magic carts where nowhere as fast or as strong. But that changed when under orders Fritz came to them with a new design witch they started to produce to give those who can't afford the more expensive personal suits the option of cheaper magic drive vehicles.

The next year saw a jump in their sales as well as the addition of a cart driver and safety school. The surface navy was loving the new ships and submarines. Iron hulls that bounced off the cannons of older ships the pirates use. Faster and able to handle storms that sink lesser ships. The subs can carry six mobile suits and have the ability to stalk pirate ships with out being seen. In the waters around Equestria piracy had all but ceased the few pirates that remained practiced smarter raiding by avoiding newer Equestrian ship as they had a way of calling the navy in. Witch meant pirates where forced to harass ships of other less wealthy nations. It was also at this time the griffon ambassador was sent home cleared of the charges she had hanging over her.

Half way through the second year air pirates have hit similar trouble. As the new Gaw-E (Gaw Equestria) the Gaw-E is a longer larger version of the Zeon Gaw, with a second set of wings and several more gun turrets then the old school Gaw had. That plus new high speed zeplines with stronger guns and carrying three suits. While the Gaw-E carried nine suits or several thousand tons of bombs witch was demonstrated when a very large hydra settled to close to Canterlot so Jay gave the order to bomb it out of the lake. A show that was timed with the a park festival that gave the reporters there with new colored video cameras that have alluded live news to be streamed to ponies cell phones. Jay watched it from the ship its self chuckling at the awe and fear the strategy to drive out the Hydra. It worked better not only worked but sent it fleeing out to the waste land short a couple of heads.

Jay was chastised by his marefriend for such heavy handed tactic but he just smiled and said he went easy on it, if he wanted it dead he would have sent a mobile suit after it. She just glared at him and made him sleep on the sofa. The next day he went to the Everfree no one saw him for a week he comes back out holding a baby hydra with three heads two of which where biting down on his arm. "Hey Tia you seemed upset about how I chased off that one hydra so I got you one for a pet." He smiled at her as his arm bled on the throne room floor. "But first you mind teaching it not to bite me It's gotten thought the chain shirt I have underneath the uniform." Celestia was livid with him and at the same time worried her head off over what turned out to be a two day old bites as the chain shirt kept the heads from tearing chunks out of his arm.

She kept Chompy as Jay called the little thing. Though she now fenced in a section of the gardens for it. At least until it's properly trained.

Fritz finally had his wedding in the winter. The chapel was one big ice sculpture. Diamond and Silver actually served as maids of honor, while Flash who had become Fritz's best friend from working as his test pilot for the suits, was the best stallion and actually combed his mane fore once.

By the second anniversary of the humans arrival the new heavy Zaku was online and it was dubbed the suits that Flash can't brake. The first day he tested that by accidentally walking of Canterlot and falling to ground bellow. the suit was fine and Flash only had a headache. They tightened the seat belts after that. Flash was also banned from the comic shop for a week as that was the cause of the accident.

The day of the second anniversary revealed the new Gouf Heavy Armed type witch was made to act as air defense suits for the bases and cities with support from Zaku cannons. The Heavy Armed Gouf was limited to one set of weapons but that was two fifty-eight millimeter five barrel machine gun hands and a head mounted thirty millimeter machine gun. Jay gave the demonstrations by walking it out and sprays sweeping a large amount of powder filled balloons at the start of the ceremony the sound of chattering gun fire and ringing brass was quite the opener as the event also was the day of the first suit race as well as the revile of the Dom suits which showed up in two groups of three in wounder bolt colors speeding around the track. The crowds watched in awe as the six suits shifted formations rotated around each other and seemed to move as if the track was made of ice. It was site to see and the first races where even better Sweet Apple Acres race team vs the Flim Flam Brothers Magic Motors. The suits where all the same so it came down to the pilot's skills. Which made for a vary action packed and exciting show especially when the suits started to shoulder check and trade punches, the first race in Mobile Suit Grand Prix or MSGP ended in a victory for Sweet Apple Acres race team and thus was the start of what would be a race team rivalry that would come to epitomize the the level of competition at the expert level known as MSGPX races.

The rest of the year saw many events that made big to do in the magazines and news feeds. The Wonderbolts Dom suit stunts and precision piloting demonstrations. Many of the maneuvers impressed the human pilots. The next piece of headlines was the who's who in racing the new magic racing carts Flim and Flam rent on there track had spurred a new interest in the vehicles, but the stars where still the pilots of the Zaku Racers as they trade paint and make sparks on the track.

The last story that made the news threw the nobles in to a fit. Celestia pregnant by the Knight Captain Jay Johnson! It so stirred them up that they called a emergency meeting of the house of nobles. This was to discuss what to do about what some called the human problem in the castle. Unfortunately for the noble houses, Captain Johnson was told by, those that supported his relationship. The house saw two miracles that day the first was Blueblood and Fancypants on the same side in a argument both supporting Celestia's choice most notable Blueblood saying. "Celestia ruled Equestria alone for a thousand years longer then most of us have lived. I think she can be trusted make her own romantic choices."

It was not a hour later that Jay stormed in Philomina on his shoulder and Chompy on a leash with him, he then began to give the house of nobles a piece of his mind. This was the other first while anypony has the right to publicly address the house in session it was rare that it happens much less by one of the subjects of its discussions. This brings us to the second miracle. Jay seemed to be on the war path he cut off one pony and begin to publicly dress down the nobles like a bunch of first year cadets in boot camp. His words where harsh, crude, foul and out right venomous. Several nobles fainted in fear stating he seemed to radiate an aura of fear and malice like at any moment all present would be killed.

What he said was lost to history as the stenographer was one of the ones that fainted, the court artist one Quick Sketch, was able to do her job though and captured the scene. It shows Jay in the center of the hall with a black mass seeming to rise off him with a glowing eye. The hydra snapping at the crowd held back by a taunt leash and Celestia's pet Phoenix her wings spread as it perched on his shoulder seemingly yelling at them herself. The image was on the cover of every major new paper and political journal the next day. The nobles refused to comment and Jay said "If you want to know what I said ask the nobles." and would laugh about it. Celestia had stopped hiding their relationship and announced marriage plans tho no date was set as both worked a lot.

The amphibious suits realised latter that year really made the surface navy happy even if the Zaku marine was no where near as powerful under water or on land as the Hygogg and Z-GokE, both of witch would see production release at years end, it was more versatile having hands and able to do under water salvage. In the first month they used the suits to recover whole ship wrecks and lost treasure that before was deemed unreasonable to recover. This also made the banks happy.

The global scale things where changing. On the political scale policies from Equestria stayed the same. But the griffin empire was in a production swing the in information and models procured gave them so little information that all they knew is how the Mobile Suits looks and a little on how they can move, but how they work was beyond them. So they did the next best thing they could do, make something as close to it as they can using outdated technology. What they built where bulky and cumbersome and outright laughable if it didn't hint that they where a prelude to possible war.

Other nations renewed non-aggression pacts with Equestria and other pony nations. Smaller trouble makers still did stupid things, like a band of Diamond Dogs, that broke in to a Equestrian mine intending to take it and enslave the ponies. This plan fell on its face when the miners turned their Acg units laser torches on the attackers, quickly routing the D-dogs.

Things quieted down till Jay was cornered by the Canterlot press core. They asking him tons of questions. Finally he had enough. "Shut up! Look! I'll give you this and nothing more! One no I will not be writing a book about my world's war. That's something Big Tom is doing not me. Two no I am not telling when, where or who is coming to the wedding after the mess the last public royal wedding was. We will televise it though so the local media centers being set up in every town will allow everyone pony or not to watch it live. Lastly yes humans and ponies can mate one of my fellow humans has several foals with his herd. Oh and no humans males have smaller dicks then male ponies but we have much more stamina then any pony. No get lost you bunch of vultures or I'll feed the lot of you to Chompy!" His speech had been recorded and when Celestia was interviewed on it she was barely containing her laughter about the event.

She was quoted as saying. "He hates having his picture taken and the press cause they, in his opinion are more instead in fiction then fact. He would never have fed them to Chompy thought. He probably just start chasing them around shooting at their hooves." She said with a amused chuckle.

This gave Jay a more dark reputation. But the fact Celestia could not hide her amusement and that she seems happier then ever. Made most common ponies look at him as a good thing, military ponies loved his reforms, and most nobles just hated him for shaking thing up. But all agreed that if he was going to be by Celestia's side for several more years then she would be far more safe. After all who better to protect the princess then the most quick tempered fire brand in the guard?

Fritz had finally done it, the Zaku heavy cannon type was a monster that came out in the third year. Four legs each with a Dom hover thruster made them fast and nimble in open but still stable while firing, the heavy thirty cm cannon from the Zeon Hildolfr on its right shoulder with a cut down barrel, on its left was the federation two hundred and twenty mm cannon also cut shorter but actually coming out of the upper part of the chest, the design of which was based on and modified from the federation assault Guntank. The arms and head where that of a basic Zaku II but with more robust shields on both shoulders and secondary communications antennae on the head. The suits primarily carried pikes or staff axes as melee weapons and hand carried guns ran the gambit from shot guns and machine guns of their lighter brothers to shield gatlings. Bazooka and sniper rifles where deemed too cumbersome with their fixed cannons. The suits saw low numbers as they are mainly for siege warfare. Though some pilots like their smother ride. At the same time the Gouf flight type, Efreet, and Kämpher units also finally saw their roll out these suits sharing deployment wave marked the start of Equestrian independent suit designing as from here on the suits would while still having Zeonic influence are going to be based on the needs and feed back of only Equestrian pilots and battles, further adapting to better use in this new field.

Political tensions hit their peak the fifth year as the first Alicorn class assault carrier launched. Based on the federation white base combined with the Zeon Zanzibar class, this ship held twelve suits and could launch three at a time and was space flight capable. This what caused the rise in tensions as Luna made the the first mission of the new ship to start construction of a Lunar city. Some reasons the other nations didn't like that idea.

The Griffon kingdom was now threatening war. And thus the mane six as ambassadors of Friendship are asked to go visit, with escort and their suits.

The Harmony's Bliss was the second Alicorn class ship built and was fresh of the line and paint still wet as she was tasked to transport the harmony console to Griffon Stone the capital airy of the Griffonian. The mane six along with Trixie, Sunset and Flash, where on board. As well as Priest as the veteran guard. This left two bays open for gifts to the griffon king a pair of unarmed, gilded, Gouf suits.

"I'm board we be there by now in my Dom Bolt. (The Dom Bolt is the first Dom upgrade from Equestria features enhanced jump packs and thrusters.) I mean this is the fastest ship type we have." Said Dash as she leaned back on the bridge window.

"This is not a race Rainbow, we are on a diplomatic mission to maintain trade and peace with the griffons. They have been more and more introverted scene the incident five years ago. That is why we are gifting them two suits." Said Twilight

"We are also hoping that the new king will be more agreeable." Added Priest.

Last year the king had died of heart attack. His son now sits on the throne and is a unknown for the world.

"I'm excited you and pinkie got to see griffon stone last year. Now I get to too." Said Twilight, Over the year the Castle map has sent the mane six on some interesting adventurers. As safety precautions a guard was with them. This led to some interesting encounters. Like the equality village who's communist dictator got her flank kicked by big Tom and Sofie for enslaving ponies by stealing their marks. Starlight was shocked that humans had no cutie marks but still had magic of their own.

Human magic is not like pony magic. It is more like pressure or aura they can generate. Jay is sited as being able to induce fear in those he directs his magic at. Priest has shown a healing touch, while Fritz shown a magical ability in engineering. They all showed some power or another.

The ship crossed the last ridge and saw the Griffon Stone and "Yep still a dump like last time." Said Pinkie cutting off my narration.... she just smiles out the window.

"What happen here?"Asked a heart broken Twilight

"According to a griffon from last visit, that king you told us about lost their shiny treasure and the griffons fell back in to their old ways. The kings kept them together as best they could but well.... The last king spent more bits on the technology then reconstruction." Said Rainbow

"His son at least started on some, look." Called Pinkie as she pointed out a large new castle and the boxy clanking griffon mobile suits working around it thick black smoke poured from pipes on their backs.

"Oh my such rickety contraption these griffon steam suits are. Nothing like the suits the humans made." Said Rarity.

"I'm suddenly feeling a lot more attached to ma'h old Zaku now. I mean all that smoke would mess with the plants on the farm." Said Applejack

"Perhaps they will trade for suit engines rather then full suits this would let them keep the stile they seemed to have taken." Said Priest.

The ship approached a air field that had smaller slower griffon ships scattered around it leaving a large area for the Harmonies Bliss to land. As the crew landed Twilight spoke up "Everpony to their suits the griffon king wants this to be showy for the people so he is meeting us in his own." Said Twilight. Out the window they could see a suit parade heading towards the ship. The griffon guard suits all had melee weapons at arms length with both hands on it. The clanking lumbering strides made the giants wide and slow. The suits had four legs and larger bodies with no heads, but tank like turrets.

"Walking tanks? Stars help them if their leader is a fool." Said Priest as she followed them off the bridge saluting the ships captain as she did.

The steam walkers had formed two rows with a larger one at the end with the griffon king sitting on a throne on its back. The ships hatch opened and the first suit out was Trixie's new suit, her suit was a gouf custom, painted to match coat. Hanging from it was a cloak matching the one she wore all the time. This cloak was made as a test of new mitrals. Her suit carried a star shaped pole axe heat blade in its right hand and the shield on the left had her cutie mark and the words Great and Powerful over it in a banner.

The next suit was Sunsets kämpher painted to match her coat, but had black arms and chest mimicking the leather jacket she wears. She carried a heat blade sword on the back skirt rack, two bazookas and a pair of hand guns. The ms hand guns are a Equestria innovation for better use in close combat shooting in cities and bases.

Following her was Priest's Dom tropen it's paint job stood out as one half gold and the other silver with the mark of the church of the living deities on its right shoulder. Hanging on the suit from mounted rungs was a chain of holy beds making the Dom look like a holy monk it's self.

Next was Flash's Suit, the heavy Zaku's steps made the griffon walking tanks shutter from its weight. It was purple with gold trim of Twilight's guard.

Then came Twilight her self she still had her Zaku from the parade years ago. It's weapons have been updated to look more royal as well as gliding added to its edges and inlay gold reliefs layed on chest and shield.

Rarity was next her suit had been upgraded to a choice that surprised her friends, a Z-gockE, it was painstakingly painted to look like it was a living crystal and had a set of attached clothing on looking like it was a model as it strutted on its long legs more then walked.

Next was Fluttershy who apon Discord's advice had taken up a Efreet with mostly melee weapons and four pistols, two on skirt back and one on each leg. The suit was painted in camouflage pattern to better move about the forest with out disturbing the animals as much, but had a scary sharp tooth grin and cat like eyes painted on the head. Discord said it was Angel's idea he just went with it and both of them and Priest liked it so she kept it.

After her was Dash in her Dom Bolt painted like all wonder bolt suits but with a rainbow stripe on the head. The suit had twin swords on its hips and experimental Lightning gun that the bolts have Ben issued to field test. Pinkie was next she traded up to the Zaku artillery suit made in Equestria. The suit was pink with the massive cannons painted blue but no other weapons.

Last was Applejack in her old Zaku it's paint sun faded from years of work it's left hand replaced with a digging tool to help transplant trees, on its skirt back sat a MS shotgun.

The kings suit was larger probably had a crew of three or four besides the king him self. The line of Equestrian suits stopped and bowed before the front suits stepped to the sides to let Twilight's walk forward. "Greetings your highness. I'm princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle. It's nice to meet you."

A griffon vary young one stood a top of the royal walker. "I am king Siegfried Goldenclaw the third. I welcome you and your court to my lands." He said opening his wings.

"Thank you your majesty. As a token of appreciation for your hospitality we give you two mobile suits." As she said this she steps her machine to the side to show the two gilded suits being unloaded glittering in the sun.

"Oh my! I dear say that these are exquisite gifts given the bad blood my late father had caused. I must say you ponies sure do make it hard to see why he hated you so." Said Siegfried.

"I hope that our relationship will be much more amicable then the past." Said Twilight.

"Come fallow us back to the palace we will have your suits washed and give you all a good meal." Said Siegfried.

Hours latter at in the dining hall. The girls where seated in the dining hall with the king as Priest and Flash 'Wrecking Ball' Sentry stood ever vigilant.

"Your guards are tireless in duty I see. Must be comforting to have trusted and reliable help." Said the king.

"It is but not in the way you think. I know I can trust them not just with my life but to do what they know is right or needs to be done with needing orders. Something that Knight Captain Johnson. Has worked hard to achieve with the rest of the ranks. The reformation of the knight core in Canterlot was one of his biggest success nobles taking time twice a year to serve as suit pilots or regular guards in random towns on the frontier. Why last week Blue Blood of all ponies slayed a Tatzle wrum. He and his suit have been a fine example. Though he is still a insufferable egomaniac. He at least has learned to do things worth the attention he craves." Said Twilight

"Yes, I've found I can only trust my guards as much I can pay them. In fact only the five that crew my walker have shown the kind of selflessness you describe. I believe you all know Guilda." He points to Guilda as she and four others walk in and stand behind the king. Each in matching olive green uniforms in the stile of the old guards. (British 1812) with brown trim. "And her crew from left to right, Gabby, Greta, Irma and Natalya. They have proven to be the most selfless and caring of all griffons in Griffonstone. And more importantly the least greedy. So they are my closest guards, confidonts and personals crew." Said the king

"Has no one tired to recover the relic from the chasm? I thought it be high on your to do list." Asked Twilight as the waiters served them all.

"We tried but again money is more important and I don't want to risk the few I know I can trust. After all its such questions rare thing here."

Hours past with king dancing around treaty talks with idol chit chat. "Oh look at the time, I have our finest guest rooms waiting for you." At that the first days talks officially end with out progress.

Hours latter near midnight. Gilda knocked on Dashes door only to be surprised when Applejack opened it. "Oh I thought this was Dashes room." She said apologetically.

"It is. You can hear her snoring don't mean she went to bed alone though." Said Applejack with a grin that said I hit that as she steps a side.

"Oh um.... wow this makes what I came to do awkward." Said Gilda.

"Oh you and her where that close? I knew she and Shy had been in flight school but-" started AJ.

"No, feathers No!" Interrupted Gilda. "She was just my best friend and I'm in to guys. Look she's clearly out so I'll tell you. The king is nuts his terms of peace is that the young princess Flurry Heart be his bride or they will go to war." Applejack's eyes widen. "I know here is the proof and the plan he has with some nobles in Canterlot. But me and my team need out of the country. When he finds out about this hill kill all of us. If the princess agrees with the escape plan for us have Dash launch ahead of your group. During the demonstration tomorrow. That's our signal that we have your aid." With that she handed Applejack the book and peppers and swiftly left.

As soon as the door closed Dash sat up. "So you think G, was on the level?"

"Mostly, I think she might be more in to you then she claimed to be." Said Applejack with a chuckle.

"Right, always did wounded what griffon pussy tasted like." Joked Dash before getting up. "Ok Lets go wake her highness." She reached over and grabbed her uniforms belt with her pistol in it's holster and put it on.

"Think we should get dressed first?" Asked a amused AJ

"Why? I have my belt on and you your hat where decent." Said Rainbow Dash as she opened the door.

"The humans would disagree. But we are ponies after all." Said AJ with a grin.

Rainbow laughed as she and AJ made their way to Twilight's room. Once in side they explained what happened and gave the her the documents Guild had given them. "And that's the story Twi." Said AJ as she finished explaining.

Twilight rubbed her head feeling a migraine coming on. "I think Jay has a point, politics suck. Why can nobody just be honest with this kind of horse apple's." Both Rainbow Dash and Applejack's ears laid back as Twilight cursed something that she almost never did before meeting the humans. Sunset and Trixie looked concerned as they lay in the bed on either side of her. "Ok tell the others we hot exist tomorrow before breakfast. Dash make a display of wanting to go riding around in your Dom Bolt and launch in it as so as you can and race a head and tell the ship to warm up the engines and make ready to fight."

"You know I think from now on we should leave a human in charge of negotiations from now on." Said Trixie

"Don't let Jay here you say that." Said Sunset.

War loves to stay where it's not welcome

Dramatic exit

At breakfast the next day Rainbow Dash was twitching her wings in a agitated manner, with Twilight looking annoyed as the King sat down the look on his face showed mixed signs of worry and concern. "Is there a problem Princess Twilight?" Asked the griffon king?

"It's nothing of importance but Rainbow was stoped from going on her morning ride in her suit by a guard. Now she's all figgity." Said Twilight.

"Ah... I heard she was causing a fuss in the hanger. Why was that?" He asked ignoring the glare from the pony they are discussing.

"Well half the reason is she is not just the element of loyalty, she is a Pegasus athlete and a wonder bolt. So before the mobile suits where introduced she had a rather surprising amount of training regimen, but now that she is a pilot she has add daily piloting ritual. That and suits are issued to individuals and some even use them as everyday matter. So free access to her machine is something we all are used to. But I understand that with the tension at current you would be more guarded about such things. But I would like to hold the mobile suit demonstration after breakfast, we can talk politics as the pilots you chose feel out the suits handling." Said Twilight putting on here version of Celestia's everything is fine smile 14.

"Of course, it be entertaining to see how one uses a mobile suit to relax." Said The king. This prompted Dash fist pump in the air flapping her wings as she did so.

Mean while unnoticed by everyone Fluttershy slips Gilda a small device as she asked where the rest room was. Gilda showed her the way as she read note with the device.

Dear G Shy is best at being unnoticed so we had her deliver this device to your team. This is a communicator watch. Give it to the your team in the walker we will coordinate there escape.

As Fluttershy exits the restroom she and Gilda sheared a smile before returning to breakfast. "Thank you for showing me to the restroom."

"Just doing my job." Said Gilda

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

A hour latter. "Come on, unhook the gantry all ready! Why is it locked so heavily any way?" Asked Dash from in her suit as she waited for the gantry locks.

The Griffon engineer shouted back. "There to keep people from stealing it, Lady Dash."

"First it's Lieutenant Dash. Second, that's what the access codes are fore. Third those things wouldn't stop a Zaku one much less a Dom Bolt." Said Dash as her hover engines spun up to speed as the gantry was pulling away drawing eyes from around the hanger.

"The docks are built for our heavy steam suits!" Shouted the Griffon to be heard over the engine noise.

Dash chuckled "That's still to week."

The noise of a the bolts boosters spinning up prompted a shout from a Twilight. "Everyone grab on to something she launching at full thrust!" The griffons near by Dashes suit took to the rafters and held tight a few seconds latter the Dom Bolt was a blur of light and metal as it shot out of the building and on to parade grounds between it and the airfield. "Priest, Wreaking Ball! Go after her so she doesn't brake anything!"

"Yes your Holiness!" Called Priest

Flash sighed at his nickname and said "Yes your Highness."

Both the the remaining Dom and the Zaku Heavy took off on their own hover engines at safer speed but still fast enough to leave the escort crews jaws a gap.

"That speed... but those are the heavy unit's are they not your Highness?" Asked King Goldenclaw unable to hide the hint of fear in his voice.

Pinkies suits now was moving out of its gantry it's quad legs moved with unnerving ease for there size. But once she was clear of the door it's hover engines spun up and she took off shouting. "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Twilight sighed. "Yes the are they are heavy units. The name is referring to their role, armor and weapons. But truth is they are some of the fastest suits on land and in space. But it base it's short comings. There is a reason to use other models of suit. Stealth, tactical flexibility, flight, amphibious capability or combat specialization. Most Gouf suits are best used up close as a example." She answered with a board tone as she was doing final checks. Applejack and Fluttershy stood at the door in their suits waiting for Twilight as Rarity's suit strutted out she raised one arm and snapped the claws checking their where in working order. The eye sliding in its head to look at Applejack's suit noticing the tree planter hand had shifted in to a claw position.

The king settled on to the throne on his personal steam suite. As Gilda and Gabby climbed in to the Goufs with Trixie and Sunset going over the control basics with them. "So you have a wide variety of Mobile suits built for different purposes?" Asked the King shouting so Twilight could hear.

Twilight responded through her suits speaker. "Yes Applejack's brother has one specifically made for farm work, while others are built for every day use or racing or mining or most anything that requires heavy machinery really." Her suit stepped forward and she spoke again. "The Zaku may be where it started but I favor it over other cause of the options it gives you." She started walking out as the Trixie and Sunset started there suits. She opened a communicator channel to the suits. "Is everyone ready? We only get one shot at this."

"We are ready in the kings walker.... but those guards are not going to think twice about firing when we start running." Came Greta sounding nervous as she spoke soft enough that king wouldn't hear her over the steam engines as the walker started out.

"Don't worry the ship is ready thanks to the plan and we are ready out here. Lots of patrols out, so things are going to have to get hot." Called Dash.

"Trixie will keep the rookies safe, it will let Trixie test Trixie's new toys." Said Trixie with to much joy in her voice.

"Watch Trixie this is real this time. No simulations, no resets. It's life or death for us mortals. May the stars guide those souls who are about to lose their life to their eternal rest in the golden fields." Said Priest.

"Greta will wait for your signal. Toss the King and we will move." Said Twilight.

The kings walker and it's guards where the last machines out of the hanger. The test where going seemingly as planned. The king took notice as Rainbow Dash's suit seemed to defy gravity as it jumped and flipped around in the air as if the suit was her own body. Pinkies machine the the Zaku heavy cannon type or Artillery Zaku as it was called by the troops was gliding around like the ground was ice. The other suits seemed to be waiting for something standing about around the place as Gilda and Gabby walked there suits with shaking steps showing clear signs of rookies at the controls as they got their footing.

"The difference in skill is clear." The king said in to a bull horn.

Twilight's suit eye slid to face him "True but they are crash coursing this. Proper training takes a few months for most pilots. Trick piloting like what Dash is doing takes even more training and suits that fly, or hover, or dive take extra training on top of the normal training." Said Twilight. As the kings walker moved forward along with the group though it was shaky. "You sure you would not like to ride in my suits hand? If you primary driver and command are testing the new suits you could get hurt." She asked faking concern.

"It will be fine our suits are more sta-" his sentience was cut off as the walker jolted forward throwing him off. His wings flairing out to catch him self in the air. "What you think your doing watch you step!" He shouted as her turned he saw his walker had broken in to a gallop. Along with the new suits making a run for the air field. The Equestrian suits also moving with them.

Well most of them. "Your highness. I'm afraid that any arranged marriage for peace is not a option. Especially my little niece." Said Twilight prompting the King to look at her suit in time to see the the pimp slap just before it sent him flying.

He recovered in the air again his beak broken. "Traitors! Stop them don't let them escape!" He shouted as best he could in the bull horn.

The griffon forces where in shock at first but then moved to engage the walkers started to charge and fire but this made it impossible for them to hit anything. "Ok girls, time to show them this is not a fight they can win!" Shouted Applejack. As her suit turned on it heal mid step and she drew the shot gun from the skirt rack. She pointed it one of the walkers, the digger tool now acting as a claw hand working the pump as she fired. Much to the surprise of all what came out was flaming buck shot the small spread of flaming iron balls smashed in to the nearest walker blocking there path drilling through it center mass and going clean out the back side of it. The burning and gutted hulk dropped to the ground smouldering. "Lan sakes. Are these thing made of paper?"

"Dash, Flash, Priest, Pinkie, Stop our pursuers!" Ordered Twilight as she stoped drawing the prototype energy rifle from the skirt rack. She spun round and fired on the first pursuit unit the heated plasma particle shot melted main body of the walker leaving the legs to collapse inwards with no body to hold them up. Seconds after that she turn an ran again as the high mobility suits passed by her to act as rear guards.

Dash and Priest lead the charge in two lines. "Jet stream attack!" Shouted Dash with fervor. As she and Priest fired of there blinders the bright light flash was built to over load suit optics but with out the systems to filter it out it was even more effective at blinding there foes. The high mobility suits where moving in two drafting lines forming the infamous jet stream attack witch enhanced the speed of the all ready swift machines. Dash had drawn her swords and hit the enemy lines first. The heat blades sliced strait through the legs of the dazzled walkers toppling four before pinkie rushed by tossing grenades to either side blowing up the last three in in the line.

Priest hit the other line sparing down the walkers as she passed them. Flash was right behind her using his heavy Zaku's arm mounted machine guns to rake over the ones that she had missed in her pass. "This is one sided. Was this what the beginning of the war on your world was like?" Asked Flash.

"No the Federation had weapons that could at least damage the Zaku." Said Priest as the four regrouped to rejoin the others.

Trixie tanked a full cannonade from the griffon walkers on her shield."You fools! I am the Great and Powerful Trixie!" The cape bellowed behind her suit as two pods lunched out from under it they split open and stated hovering above the battlefield. Trixie smiled in her helmet. She was testing the prototype newtype system Fritz set up to work with unicorns from concept he seen in passing on the moon. The hovering drones called Buzzers where laser emitters, and worked on Trixie's will. She pointed her pole axe at the line of walkers and two beams of yellow slice criss crossing the the six walkers slicing them apart and casing the steam engines to explode. "Don't cross Trixie."

In the royal walker was running next to Fluttershy and Rairty, with Sunset behind them. With the two unarmed Goufs. The griffons where shaking as they worked the controls. "Feathers what was that? Magic or weaponry?" Asked Greta

"Who cares what it is, we have other things to worry about!" Said Natalya before a shell struck the walker causing it fall over. "Feathers!"

"Rarity, Shy on the right!" Shouted Sunset as she shielded the downed walker with her suits arms. Snapping to actions with practiced ease, Fluttershy drew her pistols and fired the hundred and twenty millimeter beam magnums reported with swift shots of pink energy piercing and vaporizing the crew compartments of two walkers as Rarity's suits arm mounted beam weapons repeated the action at a higher rate spreading small melted wholes across several walkers one exploding the others just stopping either by fear or vaporized crews.

Sunset rips the side of the down walker off and took the griffon allies in to her suits hand. "You girls ok?" She asked.

"Will live if we get out of this." Called Greta over the coms.

"Ok hang on we are almost there." Said Sunset as she started to run again.

As they drew closer to the ship another line of walkers was blocking the way and two air ships where moving on the Harmony. The ship not being helpless as assumed opened its gun ports and fired a single beam shot igniting both zepplins turning them in to fire balls in the sky. Sunset grabbed one of her rocket launchers with her free hand brought it down and fired a spread of the high exsplovis rockets. The missiles hit ground in and around the line of walkers blowing them over and in the case of one unlucky one, hitting it directly blowing it to pieces. As the suits passed the line Applejack steps on a overturned walker crushing it under her suits foot. The ships hatch slid open as the suits reached it. Sunset was the first up the ramp followed by Trixie and the two Goufs, Applejack was up next with Twilight on her heals. Rarity and Shy backed up the ramp shooting as they covered for Flash and Priest to get on as more walkers started showing up. The ships guns now fully a light sparing a defensive screen. The hatch closed after Pinkie and Dash both jumped on to the upper hull of the ship to give support fire. Pinkie turned her body mounted guns towards the walkers coming from the opposite side of the ship then they approached from and fired here suit jerked slightly as she fire the larger cannon the heat shell exploded covering a large area in a see of flames quickly causing the boilers of the walkers caught in it to over heat the shrill whistles proceeded the thunder of them exploding. Dash stowed her swords and pulled the new bolt caster weapon she was issued. The gun looked stark contrast to other weapons a series of coils and a round ball at the end. She pulled the trigger to build up her shot's power the weapon began to glow and crackle as the charge built up along its length she targeted the new pursuit walkers coming from the hanger they left from. She released the trigger and other was a crack of light and sound the walker she was aiming at exploded from the force then again from the heated up boiler. The ship was now lifting off in to the air and making its escape as Pinkie and Rainbow fired of some parting shots before withdrawing in to the ship.

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

Some hour's latter, in the pilots bar.

"We're free! We're free! We're free!" Chanted the five Griffon Mollies as the jumped around in a group Hugh.

"You know seeing her like this is kind of cute. Can we keep her?" Asked Rainbow Dash her flight suits half open as she lays across Applejack's lap on a sofa making the mare laugh.

In one corner sofa sat Twilight with Trixie on one arm and Sunset on the other arm both mares nuzzling the Princess as they discussed the first live fire field test of unicorn adaptive control system. Or UAC system for short that Trixie had hidden under her suits cape to control and store the buzzers in her suits back pack.

Shy was tossing back the hard cider at the bar seeming trying to drown what she had done. No one blamed her, she spent more time playing in the simulator then any of them and was the only one that if she wanted could have any suit she wanted based on her score. That also made it shockingly easier for her to actually kill. She just followed her training almost as if it was just another simulation. But now that's it was over all the lives she took weighed on her mind. Pinkie stood behind the bar in a bartender outfit.

Rarity was watching the griffons that had shredded there uniforms and now naked celebrating as she her self was doing her hooves.

Flash was was working poor sap, but some one has to do the paper work.

Priest looked to griffons after she finished her prayers by a wall shrine. "So what will you and your flock do now? Or is it a pride of griffons?"

Gilda sighs "Well if he is stupid enough to invade we will help fight but first thing I want to do after I take a long spa day, is learn to make a mobile suit dance like you all do. I mean you made a joke out of our biggest walkers on mass. They may have been made of paper with how you shredded them."

"They may as well have been. That armor was just straight steel or iron at best. As you saw the armor on our suits is far stronger and our weapons are built to not just fight similar armor quality, but the thicker armor of war ships. The fact they continue to charge after the first few seconds says a lot about your races courage or greed if they did it only for pay." Said Priest

Twilight sighed. "You know this is going to add to the whole Twilight sparkle Celestia's attack dog rumor. I mean seriously, Nightmare Moon, Discord, Crysalis, Sombra, Starlight Glimmer, and now I back handed the griffon king with my Zaku!" She groaned and let her head fall back on the corner sofa she and her mares sat on.

"In your defense I'm sure Jay looks far more the attack dog after the Hydra and Senate incidents. Or at the vary least they see you as the tamed wolf and him as her beast on a leash." Said Sunset.

"Please never mention the Knight Captain as a beast on a leash held by Celestia again. That brings to mind so many unwanted mental images of our former teacher." Said Twilight rubbing her head at the thought.

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

Canterlot castle garden meeting of the Unicornia Descendants Society or U.D.S.

"Do you think the they would really not sign? I mean I know the young princess is still a foal but royalty have a duty to be married off for peace." Said posh Unicorn mare with golden mane and tail and blue fur in a white gown.

"Oh and who did Cadence marry? Or our own Celestia? Shining Armor was not a royal. While Celestia marrying her human toy is a step up from the common guards that wedding did come with several gains. Her new daughter for one, another Alicorn and the first born in Equestria lands. The added aggressive stance with trade agreements from her husband's handing of royal politics. I must say for someone that rose from a common farmer, he sure knows how to argue for Equestria's fair share." Said a stallion black furred stallion with green mane and tail in blue house coat, before sipping some wine.

Blueblood chuckled "And he knows wine better then most nobles. I am fine with royalty marrying who they like. We all know that it's just a excuse to formally declare war. Then we will remove Celestia from the throne and take proper control of the nation and restore the tribe's to proper balance. The humans might complain but if we treat them well they might no resist when we have control."

"Wouldn't Jay take offense to you deposing your Aunt? His wife." Asked a white furred stallion with teal mane and tail, sitting in a chair with a pipe in his mouth.

"No cause we need them alive. We can't and will not harm the Princesses. There talents are need for proper order in our world. Once we capture her Jay will lay down his weapons so not to harm her. But he will be the major danger when we start till then." Said Blueblood.

The party stopped with a cellphone on a pedestal rang with the old Unicornia anthem. Blueblood answered it. "Hello King Goldenclaw did things wrap up a head of schedule?" Asked the Prince.

The room was quite as Blueblood's face went from happy to surprised to bemused to outright sneering as he lessened. "Well I did warn you not trust those five as they showed vary pony attitudes. But this changes little. I hope your beak gets better in time for the armistice at the end of our war game." He nodded his head "Yes your forces are in place to take the lands you wanted the signal will go out with ours." He paused to lessen then said. "Yes, good bye and hail to the Kings." He hung up the phone setting it back where it was.

"Well what happened?" Asked a yellow unicorn in in pink dress and Sun hat with white and silver mane and tail.

"First I must say that I had no idea Princess Twilight was such a vicious mare. She almost spoiled everything with her temper. She actually assaulted the Griffon king by back handing him out of the air with her Mobile Suit. Broke the poor chaps beak. If she had killed him our whole plan would be up in smoke." Said Blueblood sounding shocked.

"Dose that mean she will be a problem?" Asked the Stallion with the pipe.

"No it will be to late when she gets here. Commence Check mate. Plan a king is needed to rule." Said Blueblood before setting of to leave the party. As he did all the guest took out their cellphones and set one text message.

White king takes black and white princesses.

Blueblood made his way home in his private hanger there was two mobile suit bays one had his Acg it was the same suit he learned in though heavily modified. A more regal paint job one drill arm replaced with a missile pod and on the back it mounted beam gun turret. It also boasted improved hover engines in the legs matching the Zaku racers thrust out put. He has made a good name for him self as a pilot with it but today this would not be the suit he was taking out. No, not on this day. The day the pony tribes are restored to proper balance. He gave the suit a sharp bow. His way of apologizing to perhaps. Many pilot's believe that mobile suits have some kind of soul or mind. They can be given simple verbal commands and some even say they will act before the pilot's react. While every engineer denies it and can explain why that's not true. Some ponies are just too superstitious, Blueblood among them, and believe that on some level the mobile suits are alive. He walked to the second dock that for a year sat covered with a heavy tarp. His magic pulled off the tarp, beneath the tarp was a mobile suit, but not a ordinary one no. A magical powered mobile suit. Blueblood and his conspirators had spent a large amount of money and time to develop them. They had vary angular spiky shape and body made of what looked to be crystals and stone. The head had two eyes and Blueblood's had a pair of wings. The suits where not only powered by magic but required a unicorns magic to pilot them. "Well time to prove magic is superior to technology. No matter how advanced it is." Said Blueblood as he opened the hatch.

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

Canterlot city Magic Mobile suit rebellion.

While hidden Griffon forces launched attacks across the globe the U.D.S. in Canterlot launched a coup. There was just under a hundred of the Magical Mobile Suits, they rose up from hiding places across the city, privet hangers, warehouses, abandoned or condemned buildings. The guard patrols taken by surprise where the first to suffer, majority panicked as they came under attack. The magic beams would impact on the suits armor and do little damage but with sustained contact the magic beams would melt thought the armor. On the reverse conventional weapons of the Equestrian suits where as effective on the Magic Mobile Suits as they are on any Mobile Suit. But the real problem was the magic beams where devastating against the guard infantry patrols. The magic beams and magic bolts are kinetic and sometimes elemental energy equal to the power fed in to them. But that power in magic is limited to what the caster can channel. But despite these facts the Equestrian guards panicky and skittish nature even after hard training gave the aggressive surprise attack the opportunity to disable several Mobile Suits and infantry patrols where in far worse state.

In the Canterlot castle war room.

The old war room was left to Jay to renovate to better coordinate Equestria's military. He stood over the magic table map, looking at figures made of magic energy appear across Equestria showing forces friendly and enemy units. Contrary to common belief Jay didn't hate magic he just saw it's limitations. Celestia and Luna came running Celestia holding her young daughter in her arms. "Jay! The city is in chaos! What's going on?" Said Celestia in fear.

"Not just Canterlot. This coup is timed with a push by hidden Griffon army units across our borders and from the reports of our scouts and ambassadors, some of our allies are being invaded. But the force in the city are using what report indicate are Magic core mobile suits. This means the enemy's in the city are ponies. Granted they are still attacking the castle but we have contingency plan for this." Said Jay

He walks over to a large monitor following the battle outside. The other ponies in the room pay him no mind focusing on their duties. "We will just have to use plan omega." Said Jay as the image of Canterlot has magical symbol is overlayed on it.

"You wish to destroy the city?" Asked Luna in shock.

"Look again the rune is anti-magic field over the whole city, to last three hours." Said Jay

"That would neutralise all magic in the city! Every pony will be weekend, unicorns will not be able to use their horns, pegasus will lose the power to fly and earth ponies will be weekend. Not even counting the ponies in the hospital." Said Celestia concerned.

"The hospitals are being evacuated to the base's non-magic medical facilities. It's why I insisted on direct access to it from hospitals. But that will take time. So till that's done and you two have the spell to ready and we have to hold out till then. I am going to take the field, I already ordered the mobile suits to regroup and the infantry to fall back and pass out the anti-MS launchers. We can hold them but once the field is up its just a matter of cutting them out of the shells and locking the criminals up for trial." Said Jay as the screen showed the plan in place.

"Are you sure you need to go out there?" Asked Celestia worried.

He gave her a hug and kissed his Daughter. "Don't worry I'll be fine. These are fools that think they have a advantage. I will show them how wrong they are." He starts to leave then stops. "Oh by the way Twilight assaulted the Griffon king with her Mobile suit. I have the incident report saved to review at dinner. It was great, well not great she started the war, but it was great seeing that prick getting bitch slapped out of the air." He added laughing as he left.

"My student started the war?...." Mumbled a shocked Celestia Her daughter giggled at her mother's face.

"I shall get the spell ready meet me in throne room to cast it when you snap out of it sister. Our brother in law is refreshingly reliable." Said Luna.

Five minutes latter below the city.

"Your suit is ready sir." Said a younger earth pony engineer.

"Don't call me Sir! I work for a living!" He barked at the colt making him jump. Jay climbed in the hatch and started up his Gouf flight type. He sighs as he starts up the systems. The camera flickers on showing the the cat walk and gantries pulling away. He moved his suit forward the heavy foot falls vibrated through the machine. The troops, crews, and other pilots looked on the sight of the Knight Captain's machine marching out to fight. The eye shifted left and right. "What in the nine hells are you foals standing around for! We are at war and traitors are attacking the capital! Move like you got a purpose you worthless lay abouts! Or I swear any one not doing their job will be cleaning up after Chompy and Philamina! For the duration of this war!" He shouted and like a bolt of lightning every one was running and shouting. He chuckled at the troops. "The whole race needs a heavy dose of self initiative. Nice to know they are fast to rally though." he thought to himself.

Battle of Canterlot city streets.

"What's going on why has the advance stalled?" Shouted Blueblood

"The Royal guard have all ready recovered from the surprise attack and have begun coordinating their defence and the infantry have started to attack us from alleyways and houses. We also are seeing nobles and citizens with mobile suits helping the guards or out right attacking us." Said the other Magic Mobile Suit pilot.

"What the other ponies are attacking us!? What happened to our declaration of Unicorn liberation?" Asked Blueblood puzzled.

"A modified neon painted civilian Zaku was running around using a some kind of shoulder mounted sonic weapons and a dropped guards heat axe. They targeted any MMS broadcasting the speech." Said the Unicorn

"Never mind. We take the Canterlot Castle this is over. Push forward!" Shouted Blueblood, he spread the wings of his MMS and took flight.

As the battle raged on for over a hour street by street. The Royal guards ambush the rebels then fall back. But as they near castle the suits began to change from mostly zakus with shotguns and hand guns, or gouf heavy arms types, to heavy Zakus and zaku artillery supporting efreets and some Kamphers using there numerous weapon racks to bring up fresh guns. All the while citizens pilots dogged and harassed the U.D.S. rebels from behind with small bands of infantry or isolated guard suits.

Jay's appearance was expected and he was avoided as much as possible but what was not expected was five Dom Bolts atmos dropping from Luna's flag ship in orbit the five bolts where in a alternative colors of the wonder bolt markings instead of blue and gold it's was black, purple and silver. They came down on special made shield wing shields that are built for suits to ride on in reentry, then can be used as flight boosters or enhancers in atmosphere or high durability shields on the ground. The five Dom Bolts are the Shadow Bolts suggested and trained by Jay as Luna's elite pilots and a second special task force dedicated to Luna like the Wonder bolts are to Celestia. The five had been on Luna flag ship putting there space training to field use, the entry wings where also on it to be tested by remote. But given their Princess was in danger the Shadow Bolt squadron commandeered the prototypes and gave them a live field test. Dropping in from space catching the rebels by surprise and boosting the Royal Guards Moral, as the five suits raced through Canterlot streets in a five suit jet stream attack pattern plowing through any rebels they saw. The lead Dom Bolt had a heavy large heat axe called a grosses beil (said Gross bell) and carried it's entry wing locked on its back, the suit behind it had its wing in shield mode and carried a hand gun, the next suit had wings locked on its back and carried a beam bazooka, the fourth suit had the wing on its back as well but had a normal Dom sword in one hand and 120mm machine gun in the other, the last in the line had the wing in shield mode on its back But had two arm mounted 5-barrel machine guns on each arm and a axe in each hand. The five move as one in a fluid stream through the streets.

By the time Jay had caught up to Blueblood over a park near the castles west gate little over fifty of his rebels suits where left. "I know it's you Blueblood. The speech your forces tried to play at the start of all this had your name all over it." Called Jay over the loud speaker of his suit as he pointed his sword at the other flyer.

"Really? Was I that obvious?" Asked Blueblood tilting his suits head as the two circled.

"Honestly? For a pony no. But by human standards you had basically hung a sign around your neck, saying I want to rule the world. Also your a blatantly tribest, and classest. But I give you credit for all the effort and planning you did. I'm sure a lot of ponies never thought you had it in you." Said Jay before he made lunge at Blueblood who barely avoid the sword strike.

"I guess I should be flattered. Even as backhanded as it was that is high praise coming from you dear uncle." Said Blueblood launching four magic missiles at Jay all of witch where shot out of the air with what seems like practiced ease.

"It was. But I'm afraid your plan was failed from the start." Said Jay as his next attack was parried by Bluebloods own Sword.

"Oh? How so?" Asked Blueblood as his sword thrust was dogged by Jay with drop in thrust putting him beneath Blueblood who then had to quickly dive left to avoid a counter strike from below.

"Well for one you didn't get in enough flight combat practice but more importantly you never thought to check if we had a plan to mass counter magically powered Mobile Suits." Said Jay as he landed seeming to be taking a rest.

Blueblood tired from magic strain landed in front of him but out of sword reach. "And what would that be?"

The aura of terror seemed to start leaking from Jay's Gouf as he spoke the next words that alone would make any Unicorn's blood chill. "We are deploying a city wide anti-magic field."

"No!" Blueblood shouted eyes wide in fear he turned his suit towards the city's ledge and took flight.

"I'm afraid it's far too late to run. It's time for you spanking nephew." Said Jay right before a swirling wave of blue and gold washed over the city and bluebloods MMS, causing it to tumble from the sky and crash hard in to the ground cartwheeling head over heals and coming to rest face down in a trench it dug its self in.

Blueblood was in pain not just from the crash though that definitely didn't help matters. The anti-magic field apparently gave unicorns a migraine when they tried to use their horns. He groaned as he lay their in his crashed Suit. Then he heard it. Thump, thump, thump. Foot steps large heavy foot steps of a mobile suit. He struggled to exit his suit but dread set in. His team never designed a way to open the suit with out magic! He was trapped helpless before a experienced and trained killer who's wife he just tried to over throw. Fear deeper and more primal then any he felt in his life sunk in. He was trapped alone helpless in the dark of what may as well be his coffin. Then his suit was moved.

Jay sheathed his suits sword then reached down and grabbed Blueblood suit by head. He lifted it up slight crushing the head partly then he began a slow steady walk back to the castle the grinding of the MMS stone body on the ground mixed with heavy steps of the gouf flight type as it walked. Blueblood was near panicked what was his fate to be? Was he to be thrown from the city? How far did the anti-magic field go if he was? Then Jay's voice broke the silence. "Celestia will be so disappointed in you to say nothing of how Luna would feel. Though I my self am cross with you for this stunt, I will tell you right now while it's just the two of us. What you did as stupid and egotistical as it was, took planing, organization, and a whole lot of guts to try. And despite being your enemy today, I'm proud of you nephew, you grew up became strong and convicted. I respect you for it. That's why I will insist on a hard punishment. I know you can't respond from in there with field up. So I'll tell you something my Daddy told me. And yes I know you never new your father and mother. My father told me there is a secret about a father's love. It's a love without end. No matter how much a son or daughter gets in to trouble or how mad they make them a father will still love his children. Celestia said she raised you as her own. Even if you are our nephew by legal terms that makes you her Son and mine. Granted it's a silly way to see it. But I am proud of how strong a leader you became and respect you for trying even if what you did is wrong. Now when we get to the castle, no whining no crying, be the stallion you showed your self to be, not just for your self but for those who followed you. Got it?" Jay continued the rest of the way in silence.

In his suit Blueblood had to admit he was touched by Jay's wards the human always seem to try and be at least neutral with him and now he new why. So alone in the dark he let out his tears not of frustration at loosening but, well he didn't know what they where tears of, but they where tears for what Jay had said. By the time they reach the castle he had composed him self and was looking presentable even if he had some bleeding from the crash.

The suit was tossed on its back heavily then the chest ripped off. Blueblood climbed out to see both his aunts, his young cousin in her mother's arms, and a line of armed guards a glance over his shoulder showed Jay's MS gesturing to other troops at work. Figuring he had said his peace. Blueblood put his hands up and walked to his aunts. "I take full responsibility for the coup. It was my plan after all. It has failed and I will accept any punishment with the dignity of a leader."

Luna and Celestia where stunned, no whining, no blame shifting, no trying to get out of it. Celestia finally broke the silence. "You may lower your arms nephew, I must say it's refreshing to see you take responsibility for your actions."

"Well uncle Jay had some words for me when he easily defeated me. I guess they sunk in plus the last few years of actually putting in effort to make this happen. I guess some bad habits set in." Said Blueblood lowering his arms.

Luna grabbed him by the collar. "Don't think for a moment that this means you will escape punishment. I'm sure there is a nice spot in hedge maze for a new statue." Growled Luna.

"Sister, I think both you and I are too close to the matter, and too emotional to pass judgement on him. At least at the moment. Guards Jay has standing orders for the prisoners yes, take Our nephew away." Said Celestia the tears in her eyes threatening to break lose.

Blueblood accepted this and went with no protest head high with dignity his conspirators that had been being rounded up near by watched in amazement at the show of dignity and decorum he possessed making many of their own shouts of indignity and out rage look silly and foolish.

Jay existed his suit after a few more orders and walked to Celestia. "He really grew up I think. Still a dumbass, but he is taking responsibility. That's good sign."

Celestia hugged Jay braking down and crying. There young foal spoke up. "What wrong Momma?"

Jay rubbed his daughter's head. "It's ok my little princess, you Mom has had a hard day is all she just needs to let it out."He said to her hugging Celestia as tight as he could.

Luna marched over to the rebels still being processed in the yard. "Look at what you ungrateful whelps have done! A thousand years she has protected this nation on her own doing my job and hers while I was banished and now when our nation is prosperous you stab her in the back! Count yourselves lucky that under Jay's advice we are not going to be the one's deciding thy fate! Or you would all be statues going to the moon to be placed in my garden!" Her rage made the rebel ponies cower and even the guards watching them looked nervous having to stand between the prisoners and a enraged princess.

War loves to stay where it's not welcome

Canterlot high court next day.

The trial was decided to be held as soon as the chosen representatives arrived. The military Representative was Ensign Pierre D. Lafayette, government representative was Lord Fancy Pants, and the people's representative was a mare by the name of Powdered Rouge a Citizen who while a Canterlot Resident was not in town when the battle took place. They sat on the bench as the ninety seven members of the U.D.S. That participated in the attack and two hundred thirty six unicorn of the group that participated in the organization and set up of the attack. In a chair next to the defence lawyer was Blueblood. Who was surprising all of Canterlot by standing up and taking the full weight of the blame as the leader of the coup d'état. "I know they all acted against the crown but, I ask that I as their leader I solely baer the ful blunt of the punishment." He sat down waiting judgement.

The judges talked quietly amongst them selves. "That's quite the one eighty he's made. But we can't let the others of scot free." Said Fancy.

Rouge sighed "Well I know the people are calling for hard punishments to all off them."

"They are all getting punished but, Blueblood is taking the blame for the plan as a leader. So we will bring the hammer down on him hard and give a lesser punishment to the rest." Said Pierre.

After group nod Pierre stood to speak. "Blueblood, while we respect your integrity to stand up for your follower and take all the blame. That said all other members of the U.D.S. Will be stripped of their Mobile suits, and license, ranks of both nobility and military where appropriate, they will then be forced to pay or physically help with the repairs to Canterlot. Blueblood, you your self shall keep mobile suit license, but lose your rank as Prince and all property but your Acg, and will serve twenty years of hard labor as mobile suit labor pilot on the moon as part of the construction force earning minimum wage. Once the mandatory time of labor is up you will not be allowed to return to Equiss, and will remain on the moon. Any employment after the twenty years will be up to you to secure on your own. Do you have any last words before the court?"

"I thank you for being merciful on those that followed me." Said Blueblood.

Pierre slammed the gabble. "Then court is adjourned. Guards take them back to there cells till their turn for a member of the department of corrections to inventory their finances and set the amount of reparations to be paid, and Blueblood will wait for the Shadow Bolts to escort him to HLV to take him there team to orbit to rendezvous with the Alicorn class ship Luna's Grace there you will be confined to the brig till you reach the moon." Two more slams signaled the guards around the room to start escorting the prisoners to their cells.

===================
Town town former Equality Cult settlement before the arrest of Starlight Glimmer.

The griffons had dug in the mountains where they had hid. Bellow the pony guard unit of the small town. Had them pinned for the second day now. The Griffons though it was a good places to strike from a small settlement on the edge of the nation borders. But their two thousand troops and one hundred steam suits where decimated. Of that force only five hundred griffons remain with five steam suits with them. But what was the worst part was it had been just six Equestria Suits, one Gouf heavy arms, three Zaku two Js, one Artillery Zaku, and a Zaku one snipper.

The assault on the first day was a rush, griffons charging down the hills ponies screaming and running. They had just reach the edge of the town when the sky erupted as the gouf that was stationed there hidden from sight opened fire the sound and sight cause the Griffin infantry to turn and fly for the hills. This mistake, was what made its a massacre. The other suits rose from what was fake rocks and hills that they keep them in so as to not undo the style of the town. The suit firing on the steam walkers crawling down the mountain side picking them of with so much ease that the only reason the have five left was case they hadn't started down. Now the Grffons sat in there hiding place turned bunker shaking as the four legged zaku pounded away at them for a second day the steady thump then explosion of one cannon then the other some seconds latter had them fearing the mountain falling on their heads. But all that took flight where shot to shreds by the gouf or vaporize in a beam of light by the snipper. It was to a surprise when Pegasus with silver mane and tail and dark blue coat flew over and dropped a scroll.

Dear Griffons
Your friends in Canterlot failed and have been arrested your forces are for all intent and purpose have been broken and have no chance of winning. We here by offer you a option to surrender by order of Prince Knight Captain Johnson, any Griffon or group of Griffons at any time appearing unarmed under a white flag, scarf, rag, or strip of cloth or any garments on a pole or waved over their heads will be taken as prisoners of war and treated fairly under the Equestria combatant detainment laws. This includes, three meals a day and a warm bunk, and rewriting materials to let loved ones know your are safe. Please note all letters will be read before being sent by magic to their interned recipient.

The Griffin leader looked at his remaining troops huddled together around cook fires as the thunder of that artillery unit pounded the mountain. "Everyone! Bring out every piece of white cloth you have and all the sowing tools. We lost they offered us a way out alive and I will take it for us. Sow all the white cloth in to a giant sheet and hang over the side of the trench so it sprays out over the mountain side. We are surrendering!"

The troops looked at each other and set to work at speed the steam walker crews abandon there machines to help with the flag. None said a word but all had a look of relief.

Hour later in the artillery Zaku a Red earth pony stallion with blue mane was board. It was fun at first getting to pound the mountain side with cannons. But now it felt dull and the fact of several hundred Griffons trapped under it. "Hay there is a cloth unrolling on the mountain." He called over the com line.

"Hold fire. They are surrendering Units two, three, five. Escort them down. Every one else stay on guard." Said his Commander.

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

Los Pegasus combat zone day 2 of war.

The combat zone was out side the city as the force that was deployed here by the griffons had taken the build up to the war to properly entrench and set up artillery that had enough power do to size to actually damage or stagger a mobile suit. When the signal started they used there suits to bombard the city killing many ponies and destroying buildings. Now the battle was bugged down Equestria Suits of the local defense force and guard militia of Los Pegasus where trading long range fire from ruined buildings with entrenched Griffon troops.

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

Stalliongrad massacre day two.

A formation of white Doms slid over the snowy ground in snow storm of the northern front in a wedge of nine suits. The Griffin while they had a the largest infantry detachment on this front had believed the lie that mobile suits where only just a step above steam power machines and assumed wrongly that if their suits had trouble working in the cold climates the Equestria Suits would as well. That said they did have air ships on the first day for all of five minutes. The Stalliongrad had embraced the mobile suits and Doms tuned to cold climates where eighty percent of the thirty two suit defense force with just two teams of cold adapted Zaku heavy cannons. The battle was one sided, that was a understatement the lines of griffons where shattered by mobile suits armed with anti-personnel warheads and bean sprays. Now the second day they had order to round up surviving griffons for detainment. "Sir heat source on right on thermal." Called one of the pilots.

"Ronger that comrade, For crown and harmony. Bring the cat birds in from the cold." Said the officer.

"Yes sir." Three Doms broke off through the snow.

A Griffin regiment was huddled around a fire in the snow. "How they get the armor to run in the cold like that!" Asked one griffon in a navy uniform.

"Must be the dragon stuff they buy. Supposed to burn like the sun when refined. Or made they work better in different extremes." Said a griffon in a artillery uniform.

Then came a humming noise in the snow. Then the glowing blue eyes of three Equestria Dom's before the griffons could take to the air the Doms had them surrounded. "Greeting comrade griffon. You look cold. We give you choice throw down toys, and come with us, get warm beds and food. Or try and run or fight and we send you to next world where you not need worry about snow and cold. So what you say, comrade?"

The griffon looked at each other then tossed there guns off in the snow.

The team leader chuckled. "Never met a griffon that couldn't see good deal. Climb on the suits hand we take you to new vacation home. Even has hot coco."

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

Clouds Dale.

Cloud built cities for obvious reasons can't have a large mobile suit force, and the few that they do get require flight capabilities as well as a permanent cloud walking enchantment, that said the griffon army was clever using air ships as gun platforms for their steam suits to fire from, and the second largest griffon infantry force. The attack was though to be a easy battle. But the Pegasus military training tradition ment that any Pegasus that can fight had to go for basic rifle training as tradition requires all Pegasus of age completely standard basic training. This and the introduction to civilian militia rifles witch as well. While not full auto they are semiautomatic or high powered bolt or lever action rifles.

The battle had lasted only a few hours the first day the two Gouf flight types stored in the clouds had made short work ok the ships sending them down in flames as every Pegasus in the city turned out with light infantry armor and the militia rifles even with out full auto the guns that fired faster, with every citizen firing at a mass of troops in the open it was scary and effective.

The second day was teams of police leading civilian fighters rounding up all the wounded survivors and other griffons that could not have fled.

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

Not all places do to resource restrictions had suits most had police and or guards with modern rifles and other weapons. That said most the smaller attack groups had at least one or more Steam Suits. This ment that despite victories against the larger deployments in major or important cities and or supply points. There was still many griffon forces holding ground in Equestria.

One outlier was the town of hallow shades, town of theshals in the deep woods and while a Luner guard recruiting center it also held there, what most call the nightmare cult that had actually expanded its pantheon of demon God's after a member in the guard talking to a human had heard the idea of "If Luna can become Nightmare Moon, who's to say all Alicorns if given in to their every base desires and emotions can't also transform?" That comment by May had sparked a referendum in the cult. They take the view that The Princesses hold back their true form and power the strength of young born Alicorns Flurry Heart, Cadaince and Shining Armor's daughter and Aurora Flame, Celestia and Jay Johnson's daughter, highlighted this idea. This belief took the cult in a new direction "Any pony can ascend as proved by Celestia's student Twilight, and that a true form of our races can be reached in ascension but even before that we can tap in to our true power!" The battle in Hallow Shade was going as expected the town had one zaku J and two civilian suits held against several squads of Steam Suits. The griffons looked to over run them before the Night Scream appeared. A female Threshal that indicated a ritual to awaken her true form to fight the invaders.

The result was horned female Threshal twelve feet tall, billowing mane and tail of darkness, red fur. The Night Scream broke the griffon ranks as she and the temple guard of the cult waded through their ranks crushing them under hoof or green pools of magic sucking them down. She ripped the cannon out of a steam suits and preceded to beat it to scrap with it. The battle of Hallow Shades was done the day it started. When the order from Canterlot to take prisoners was given the garrison commander reported the event. The mare that was transformed was order to Canterlot for appraisal and the ritual that created her and all that participated and know it to come as well. This was also denoted as the creation of the dark magic core, of witch the responsibly to study and use of restricted and or outlawed magical arts. Night Scream for her sacrifice of a normal life in what as of now is a permanent transformation is granted noble stats and the rank of major. At Luna's requests the Nightmare cult has agreed to conduct any further research in to the art as part of the D.M.C. And all resident's of Hollow Shades agreed that as matter of national security will not divulge the truth of the event. There where twenty six requests of transfer to the D.M.C. two hours after its establishment on day two of the war, all have been found to be Nightmare cult members in guard ranks.

Jay upon learning this and granting the request subject to take effect after current operations requesting personal are involved in are complete. He also said on court record. "Doesn't matter they are crazy cultist if they still love and fight for our nation. Just means we have to keep them on shorter leash. After all one untrained mare took out a column of troops and a walker bare handed. So why not use it when we can. I'll put them under Twilight's control as her and her mages, all have some Dark magic experience."

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

Second day of war Canterlot HLV port

"Geez you girls hear what happened in Hallow Shades? And ponies Saud our orbit drop was crazy idea." Said CPO Indago Zap, the Pegasus mare had cream color fur with orange eyes and two tone blue mane and tail, as she leaned back in her chair, waiting for launch.

Blueblood raised a eye brow at the comment.

The light blue unicorn mare with pinkish red eyes, and had purple and pink hair cut short, PO1 Sunny Flair replied. "You mean the D.M.C. first action? Yeah crazy that the cult actually did something so crazy it worked. Now they actually have legitimacy."

"Do you two think talking about this in front of the prisoner is wise?" Said the other Pegasus, blue fur, purple eyes, with silver white tail and mane in long ponytails. Ensign Sugarcoat, demolition specialist, as she adjusted her glass.

Then the earth pony with purple eyes, pale yellow coat, with pinkish purple with a like green stripe tail and mane in a medium ponytail, PO1 Sour Sweet, said "Now why would that be a issue." She said in sweet tone then with a lot of venom added, "After all he is just treasonous scumbag, that we should toss out a air lock with out a suit of any kind." She glares at Blueblood.

The earth pony mare next to Blueblood was blasting music in her head phones bobbing her head as her yellow and green hair that reached matching tail, her eyes where yellow and her fur pink. Much to his surprise she replied. "It's not problem if he knows, he will be sixty feet beneath the moon's surface digging for the next twenty years when not locked in a five by eight cell." Then she looked at Blue blood and smiled "So I think we are free to say anything we like, cause he will never have any one to tell about it till it long after its irrelevant." Said Lt. Lemon Zest.

The other laugh. Then the pa cuts on "Ladies and horseapple please make sure all but Blueblood are locked in their seats we are about to launch and I want to say his restraints failed and he was at least injured on the way up." The girls snicker at him but Lemon made sure he was locked in his chair.

"We are ready to launch." Said Lemon.

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

Canterlot castle war room next day.

"What do you mean, your ordering twilight to hold till the seventh fleet arrives?" Asked Celestia.

"Just that though if you waited for my order to finish she will also be waiting for the white bear squadron, dashes bolt team, the D.M.C. assault trooper Night Scream and her team, the forth boomer wing and the third paratroopers. So they can attack and capture dagger reef cove witch has the griffon mane fleet. With it out of the battle we can have control of the sea lanes and cane use it as beach head to counter attack." Explains Jay.

"Why would we do that? We just have to drive them out and we win." Said Celestia.

"Oh and what stops them from attacking again? Or to continue attacking?" Asked Jay

"Why would they do that after we won?" Asked Celestia.

"Cause he's insane." He turned to the monitor witch had Twilight watching nervously. "Twilight please tell Celly what you told me before she walked in."

Twilight fidgeted then spoke. "Guilda and the others confirmed that the King Goldenclaw killed his father to take the throne and will only stop the war if given a Alicorn bride. In short he will either conquer Equestria or have a Alicorn as a wife. He even planed to stab Blueblood in the back. If it helps I agree with his plan. We need to stop the war fast."

"If we don't have a beach head we have to do a orbital drop on his head and even mobile suits are vulnerable doing that tactic in mass. You know that from simulator." He said with neutral face.

"But why would he do to that to his people?" Asked Celestia.

"Why any tyrant dose it. They don't care. Unless it effects them it doesn't matter." Said Jay.

Celestia walkers over to her chair and sits down looking at map showing Griffon and Equestria flags.

"I never though I'd regret I didn't hit him or anyone hard enough when I did but them." Said Twilight on the screen making Celestia gasp.

"I agree if you had killed him then we wouldn't be in this mess now. But live and learn, next time you shoot your way out shoot the soon to be enemy's leadership." Said Jay.

Celestia growled and said "That is a horrid lesson to take from this."

"I love when she makes that sound. Even if she is mad it's hot to hear her growling like that." Said Jay making the staff either blush or chuckle.

"Ok on that note I have a assault to plan." Said Twilight before cutting the line.

"Hehe, send her message that's recommend a pincer attack from land and sea. With the troop and supply list." Said Jay as he walked to Celestia.

The operator nodded, but said nothing.

"It's a bad, week isn't it?" Said Jay as he hugged her.

"Why is this happening?" Said Celestia.

"Honestly, it's probably my units fault." Said Jay

Celestia gasped and then pulled him in to a hug. "Don't you dare blame this on your self and your friends. You did nothing but try and help us." Said Celestia pushing her husband in to her fur.

Jay chuckled enjoying his wife's embrace then spoke. "A friend of mine once said. That if God in the bible exists and did make us in his own image, then he is a God of war and death. As humans are only the most inventive when we try to kill each other. Know look what's happened we find a world almost a paradise and try to give our technology to its people and what happens war."

"Wrong the greed and jealousy of a mad griffon and our adopted nephew caused this not your people's presence." Said Celestia before kissing him to stop him from arguing with her. When the kiss broke the stained into each other's eyes.

A cough got their attention as both looked to the screen to see Spike blushing with his marefriends giggling behind him. "Sorry to interrupt Mom and Dad but, I saw the battle feed and figured I'd ask if you want any one from Ponyville deployed?"

Without untangling from Celestia Jay spoke. "Send Big Tom and Sofie out to do as they please. They will be able to handle them selves just log their plans in. As for the crusaders who I know are their with Fritz worrying about their sisters, tell them they will be fine. If they want to help run suit patrols to in Ponyville to free up teams to launch sorties. Tell May that she is keep a eye or t for infiltration teams but she can stay with Maud, I won't ruin her honeymoon especially with how much that potion cost her and Maud." The sound of pounding hooves was heard of screen.

"Ok, Dad. I mean Sir." Spike gave a sloppy salute and closed the line.

"He needs to actually get some training in, his salutes are so crooked." Said Jay.

"Your one to talk mister insurgent that joined a real army with only two week basic training and crash course in piloting." Teased Celestia.

"Ok, ok, back to work I guess." Said Jay

"No. I need my huggy toy till I feel better." Said Celestia nuzzling Jay. This would happen when she was in bad mood she just take hold of him and not let go like a child with stuffed toy.

"Then you will have to carry me around as I work. There is still a war to win." Celestia then stood up and carried him to see the latest reports from the recon teams.

Author's Note

Thanks to my two editors.... Yes I need two it seems. Zaku666 and Bryan Luna

Also the VIP suits are these in custom colors and tuned to their like.

World comes to Canterlot

Canterlot's main street was a wash with banners and Balloons. A VIP box set up at the park at the far end of the main street. Ponies have been gathering all morning in preparation for the first guard parade in public memory to show the new guard uniform and weapons and armor. The last time one happened was when the old uniforms and armor, that all are familiar with was revealed. The old Armor is now being dubbed the Formal Dress set for events, and parties.

The ponies gathered where enjoying a impromptu street fairs on the side streets connected to the main street. Those that where not there where getting settled on the side of the main street behind colored ropes. In the VIP box sat dignitaries from across the planet along with Equestria brass and the most wealthy and influential nobles. Blueblood smiled as he took a seat net to the griffon representative.

"I think you will enjoy the unveiling parade, Miss Ironclaw. This is the next step in Equestria technology." Said Prince Blueblood.

She chuckled, "I do believe I will. It's always fun to see other nation's attempts to keep up with us militarily. But you ponies always have that amazing magic to balance the scales." She said with a condescending tone.

Blueblood smiled. "Oh but this is different, I am sure you read about the... um... Alien technology, we have acquired from our princess Twilight's adventures." He seemed to enjoy her sense of superiority.

"Oh yes my children want me to get them one of those game systems while I'm here. They can't stop raving about what how big a jump the new pony box system is from the old one." Said Miss Ironclaw

"Well I'll have a pair of full gaming centers sent to your accommodations. You have two sons if I remember right? I'll include two of the all the latest games and a connector cable so they can play with each other."Said Blueblood pulling out his phone and sending the order to his staff.

"Oh my that sounds expensive. I'll see that your repaid I heard you like Griffon art. I'll see too it a new piece is sent to you as thanks." She said.

"You're too kind Miss Ironclaw. We are also releasing toy models of the new armors. You build model ship's if I remember. You had a model set of the the castle. Sadly it's now out of date do to recent changes. So I will added the new armor models to scale with the castle set you have." Said Blueblood.

"I see you do your homework on your guests." She said with a knowing smile.

"I like to know who I work with and good relations with diplomats mean good and fair business between nations. Which means profits for import export companies which I own three of." Said Blueblood.

"I see. Well in th-" Ironclaw was cut off as fire works filled the air with colored smoke.

"We can finish this latter, Miss Ironclaw the parade is starting." He said with a wide smile as he raised opera glasses to watch the approach.

Then the new larger gates opened wide as three purple armored giant cyclopes rose from the ground with what looked like giant griffon rifles or large tubes in there hands and on there backs. They started marching forward the heavy thumps of there stride where felt by the crowd. As they passed the gate two companies of regular guards in strange new armor and uniforms fall in step behind the giants as three more rise from the ground and for up behind the infantry. Then after two more companies of guard infantry fall in line behind the second group more giants rise up out of the ground.

The first one is the same color as the first six, the next two are different not just in the shape of the armor, but their color. The left one was white with purple trim and three diamonds on its shield, and a sword on its hip. The right one was yellow with pink trim, with a pink and blue butterfly on the left breast plate and an axe on its hip. Right after they are clear two three more rise up. The center one is a orange with a large red apple with the the word "Honesty" in gold on the right shoulder and a larger axe on its hip. The one behind on the left was in wounder bolt colors with a rainbow lightning bots running over both sides of its head it also had two swords on its hip. The Right one is in to tone pink with blue and yellow, balloons on its skirt, shield and shoulder with a vary large blue tube on its back with the words "PARTY CANNON JUMBO" on it and the standard ax of the purple suits on its hip. The next three rose up the center was the same color as the first seven giants, but had a two tone stripe down the left of the helmet, chest and skirt, with a large starburst on its shield. To the left behind it was a orange one with a fire trim paint job and a red and gold sun on the chest, it had a sword on its hip. The right one was soft blue with a dark blue helmet and trim with stars and moons and a wand trailing a stream of stars behind it on the shield with the words "Great and Powerful" over it in purple.

Then came two sets of three suits first white and gold paint job the second dark blue and silver followed by two suits one was white with a sunset shad stripe on the head, the skirt and shield had a Celestia's sun on it. The other suit was dark blue with black trim and wrapping paint job from the helmet down making it look like it was wearing a ribbon of night with Luna's moon on the shield. As the last two passed through the gate four companies of infantry filled in behind them.

The first suits where almost at the park, there steps vibrating the VIP box. The griffon diplomat starred slack jawed at the towering behemoth passed close to the VIP box. The parade path had the troops circle around the park. As the giants passed close she saw the that the towering moneyed titans where machines, that carried massive guns, cannons and melee weapons. She had no idea the armors in the paper where this big.

"These are the new armors I read about?" Asked Miss Ironclaw.

"Oh yes the paper did not do them justice. But these are the ones built here in equestria, we call them Zaku. As you can clearly see we have four types. The Prince and Princess of the Crystal empire my dear cousins are getting some as well but their suits where not ready in time for the parade sadly." Said Blueblood.

All the diplomats lessened as he said this. The Buffalo diplomat looked at the colored suits and asked "Why are some different color?" Pointing to Applejack's suit.

"Ah, yes the ones that share a color are that of regular guards, Royal Day, Night and Harmony guards. The suits that have the drastically different chest armor are, VIPs that have customized suits, tuned to their preference. Namely the princesses and members of Princess Twilight court. It's a big deal cause they are go too heros and the only defense of a small farming town in the valley bellow." Said Blueblood sounding bored.

"I see. I might have to take a tour of it some time." Said the Miss Ironclaw clearly trying to be polite.

The suits and troops have circled the park and were on their way back to the castle.

"Why are they sinking in to the ground like that?"Asked Miss Ironclaw

"Oh they used the old mines as the factory. Why I don't know but those tunnels are filthy how any one can stand them is beyond me." Said Blueblood.

"I see." She gave him a polite smile. "And you said there are model kits being released today off them?" She asked. Bluebllod just nodded.

======================================
Ball room hours latter.

It was now the formal part of the event the diplomats, nobles gathered in the ball room as a band plays classical music. The big draw was the pilots in formal dress set. The human where more oddity then anything but they still circulated in the party. The ponies that piloted the suits in the parade seem to be most existed talking of how empowering it felt to pilot one of the giant suits.

Fritz had his herd with him every were he went at the party. They seemed to hang on his every word as he talked to them about the his world. Diamond and Sliver saw fit to enjoy the music and practice their dancing, and a little social climbing.

The Princess Twilight and her friends, had spread out in the crowd, Applejack was talking with the Buffalo diplomat, Rarity was following Diamond and Silver's plan, Rainbow Dash was with the rest of the wonderbolts in there dress blues though by the crowd one would think she was just made captain of them. Twilight was with the other princesses playing meet and greet with the guests. Trixie, Sunset, Pinkie and the Zebra and Saddlearabian diplomats seemed to have made them selves comfortable at the buffet, though Sunset having some of the chicken made the two look at her with shock. Fluttershy was setting back in the garden building a model of her suit. She had saw them being sold at the fair, and decided she would get one, because for some reason being in the suit made her not afraid, the training was scary but now that she actually piloted it even if it was just on a walk it made her feel strong. Sitting with her helping was Discrod and Priest the three having become good friends.

Sofie and Big Tom where dancing, but it was clear nether knew the steps, much to the amusement of the nobles. The Knight Captain Johnson and Prince Captain Shining Armor Sat at a table with Prince Blue Blood shearing a bottle of white wine.

"Blueblood you maybe a dis-likable self serving egotist. But you have vary fine taste in wine. That is something I can respect." said Jay

Blueblood gave a polite smile, "Well at lest I have some respect from you. Though I admit it's surprising that a human soldier such as your self as taste for fine wine." He was struggling to stay polite despite clearly seeing both those he was sitting with as beneath him.

"I am curious about that too. Why do you have a taste for wine" asked Shining.

"Before I was a soldier, I was a farmer before the war. My family ran a vineyard we made wine, the finest wine in North America, if I do say so my self. But I admit I'm a tiny bit biased." Said Jay before taking a sip.

"Why would a farmer become a soldier? Your cutie mark tell you to?" asked Blueblood

"No and the markings I have are not cute." He rubs the scared branding on his face. "I took a stand against the Government that controlled my home land. That's why I joined Zeon when they invaded. Enemy of my Enemy is my friend. As they say." said Jay

"Twilight gave us the cliff-notes about that but she never said what kind of farm." said Shining.

"Ah yes. So it was common for lower classes to raise above there stations?" Asked Blueblood.

"Oh that, well there was no class system in my world it was just how much money you have, and any one can move up in the world with enough money and powerful friends. My family had descent money but no political connection. So when a rich jerk back then wanted my families land then killed them for it when when we would not sell." Said Jay.

"Killed? Why didn't they just sell?" asked Blueblood.

"Let me ask you this. If you had a some land you lived on all your life so did twenty generations of your family and some one with a lot more money then you have offered you a third of the lands value when you relied on it to make a living would you take it?" Jay asked.

"A third? I understand wanting to save a bit but even I think that is a insult." said Bluseblood.

"I guess you are a better person then those from my world." said Jay.

"Ok change of subject is it true, what Cadance and Twilight were talking abut? That you and Celestia are together?" asked Shining.

Blueblood choked on his wine at hearing this."What!"

"Oh that well yeah me and Celly have been going out regularly.... As well as sharing some of her private wine collection and her bed." Said Jay with a wide grin showing his canines.

"You mean that rumor is true? But your just a guard captain?" asked Blueblood.

"Actually I was Zeon Earth forces so my rank is technically Lieutenant Colonel but because special forces are under the command of the Assault forces we use ranking names of the space forces. But in simple terms I'm a pay grade eleven. So I technically have the rank to lead a army in to battle. I haven't checked but I may actually out rank you Shining given we just carried over the ranks for Twilight's guard." Said Jay scratching his scars.

"Um... actually I'm not sure my self. I was captain of Celestia's royal guard. But I guess we are about the same. But that's mute as Cadanice and I rule the Crystal empire." said Shining.

"So you are actually quite high in rank. Let's see.... grade eleven is yes very high rank. I was more in to the navy my self as a colt so it is quite impressive. On top of that Knights have authority over all other guards. That's why so few have been chosen. You are technically the highest authority in the guard or military in general. I guess that does make you acceptable for her um... interest." said Blueblood.

"Glad to hear you say that, I might be you twos uncle soon." Said Jay with that same grin.

Both Blueblood and Shining Armors ears fell back as they looked at each other with same look of uncertainty causing Jay to laugh.

Elsewhere in the party May was.... feeling left out. She looked around wishing some one would talk to her.

"Excuse me? Sir." Said a female voice behind her.

She felt her eye twitch as she smiled and turned to look strait at the large chest of a female Griffon. "Yes ma'am how can I help you. You super busty cat bird thing." she said the second part under her breath.

"Oh sorry I thought you were a male. I am Miss Rosaly Ironclaw. I heard you are one of the humans that helped Equestria gain those, interesting mechiaes." Said Miss Ironclaw.

"Well that's partly true. I am a human. Lieutenant May Tachibana, I'm one of the Mobile suit pilots. I was piloting the white sniper in the parade. Formation marching that tight takes practice most of the guard transferred to the unit didn't have time for." Said May.

"I see so the main force is untrained then?" She asked feigning worry.

May noticed but just said "No there trained, the first six suits were ponies. They just had the highest scores and best marks on precision move ment. The regular pilots are combat ready they are just not parade ready. The two skills are separate, and Parade march in a tight area is dangerous. Too fasts and they could step on the infantry, to slow throws of the parades formation. Drifting to far one way or another could hurt the audience. While in a fight they would be fine this kind of operation was dangerous and need the best skilled pilots on deck." Said May exaggerating the difficulty of the parade.

Miss Ironclaw was taken back by how hard simple walking strait was made to sound. "I see I guess I should be thankful that was the case then." She said.

"Yeah the captain, said that we should do the parade to show the trainees how it's done." said May.

"That's interesting, I hear that Suits will be exported to other nation's. Is that true?" asked Ironclaw.

"Above my pay grade. I just pilot a suit and lead a team, or train who I'm told." answered May.

"What do you mean by that? Aren't ponies open with everything?" asked Ironclaw.

"Most are too open and love to gossip. Humans aren't and the princesses know the importance of limited information. That said the captain holds back a lot of information from them and those in the factory project, compartmentalize of the staff so not ever pony knows what they are building. But twice the regular wages to encourage them not to talk about there work. I don't like the idea of exporting suits my self. Today's allies are tomorrows enemy's." Said May.

The griffon was taken aback by her answer. "I see, well I should circulate more." Said Ironclaw, before she went off to mingle with other guest.

Over with Applejack, the Buffalo Diplomat Brave Horn, has been talking and joking with mare the whole ball.
"Hahahaha. Then your cousin says. At lest it wasn't a banana." Both the Buffalo and Pony fall in to fit of laughter.

"That's Braybern for y'ah." said Applejack.

"He is a most interesting pony. I see why my brothers daughter is so taken with him. But I must put pleasantry aside and talk business with a honest pony." He said after his mirth had calmed.

"I figured you bring up our new toys. As Jay and his friends call them. What's troubling you partner?" Said Applejack pushing her hat back and adjusting the flight suit that she kept on just to bug Rarity and cause dash said it looked hot on her.

"Yes a interesting term for them. Tell me why is Equestria arming its self such. The new treaty with my people means a long peace, the standing self ruling satalite nations states of Prance, Neighpon, Stalliongrad, and the Crystal empire all default to the princesses judgments. Saddle Arabia, Zebraca, and other nations hold long standing treaties with Equestria. The only three that are uneasy is the Mongrel hoards, Labrinthia, and Griffon Empire, and they have peace treaties currently active with Equestria. That leaves only the non unified dragons and Equestria's only active enemy the changelings. But both of them are pains in every ones flanks. So why the new war machines?" Asked Brave Horn.

"As far as I know the military suits was to sell the new technologies to nobles. The real reason is to build a way in to space and build cities in the stars. If you can believe that craziness. But they need something the nobles can understand cause simply making the non-combat versions to make life easier and better for us common folk just doesn't sound like a good reason to do something to them." Said Applejack with a little venom for the nobles.

"Ah... So this build up is just for show. It is not a prelude to a war." Said Brave Horn with a sigh.

"Not one we would start at lest. Besides with what they got cooking. The Zakus are just tip of the iceberg. You should see them suits humans have. Only one of them has a Zaku, the others are world of difference in abilities to a simple Zaku. Dash is all existed about the Mobile suit races as well as trading up to a faster suit. But that won't be till later. They also have some suits for farming and construction planed. As well as big project to build a city on Luna's Moon. Can't fathom how or why though." said Applejack

"Neither can I, maybe Princess Luna wants her own lands and figures it be better then dividing up Equestria or claiming new land." Suggested the Buffalo.

"That might be I know my little sister likes her freedom. Maybe Luna sees it as her chance to do her own thing?" Replied Applejack

Neither noticing the Griffin ease dropping before moving on.

The dragon ambassador and spike where talking near a table for specialty food, mainly meat and gems. "Yeah I was offered a suit but I declined. I mean it be cool till I get older but then what? Put it in my future cave or lair and let it collect dust like a old set of armor. Not for me. I just asked for one of those swords and a set of armor when I get bigger." Said Spike with a chuckle to the large Dragon three times his size.

"Ahhh. Yes I see. It would let you be more battle help now but latter just a reminder of past glory and all two soon a reminder too for our kind." Said the Dragon.

"Yeah and besides it's not as cool as being a grown Dragon in full armor with a glowing sword or axe and spiked shield." Spike said with a laugh.

The older Dragon nodded. "That dose sound like a tubular idea. I hope the trade deal for the um... fuel is satisfactory. "

"That is the easy part. You guys got what we need and we have what you want to spare thanks to rock farmers like the Pie family." Said Spike.

Ironclaw moved on hearing nothing of value.

The greetings were over letting the princesses free to mingle. Or in the case of one moon princess to talk with one she come to call the most intelligent stallion she's met in decades. To bad he was already spoken for. She trotted up to Fritz and his mares. "Greeting young Fritz. How go's ye's work?" she asked.

Fritz and the CMC all snapped sharp salutes. "Hello, Princess Luna. The civilian suits are starting production tomorrow. The first test suits will be used in Ponyville. We have a selection of ponies that will be trained to operate them. As to project dream walker, the first converted airships will be ready in a few months as to the new models, the Alicorn Class. They are based on a mix Zeon technology and stolen unfinished plans for a federation ship the captain held on to from a past mission. So we have some hurdles to jump. But that is just a time delay, the high speed air ship transports will be up before the space flight capable ships are." Said Fritz.

Luna pouted "But that is so long. Why can't you just refit a air ship for space?"

"Lack of air and they would never survive reentry even if they did survive the launch." answered Fritz.

"What's this about ships?" asked Ironclaw.

Luna and Fritz both looked at her with suspicion but Luna answered. "There are issues about transporting Mobile Suits, they are to large for the current rail system so we have to use special ships to move them long distances." said Luna.

"Why is that?"Asked Ironclaw.

"That's easy tho most suits are fairly agile and some are even pretty fast. But long distance marches in them are not vary fun." said Apple Bloom.

Fritz chuckled. "That and it's better to use a ship as it allows to bring along supplies repair teams and support troops when responding to a emergency. Also they will be need to deliver the civilian models to all Equestria cities and to export the them to other countries if fare trade terms are agreed on. But that's above my pay grade. Princess I'm sure the good ambassador wants to speak to you about sensitive matters of trade and politics me and my herd are not cleared to know about till, if or when it's publicly announced." said Fritz.
Luna nodded as Fritz and his mares walked off.

"Humans are very different even there subconscious reactions are vastly different then ours or yours are. I am still learning them. But some things are easy to learn. Like above my pay grade is usually a catch all for ether I don't know or care. If they say your instead of my it means I'm not telling you anything or they can't. It's interesting to note that these are learned responses from there world's military. " said Luna.

"I see, so they are a distrusting race?" asked Ironclaw.

"No but they base military doctrine on information control and judging others by action and not words. But if they trust you they will share a lot. My sister has taken one as a lover, she said he had been a wine maker before his world's war. He seems to be saving up to open his own here, for when he retires. He seems to also have a taste for fine wine and is a collector. Well the bottles at lest he seems to save them for something." said Luna.

"Oh? Well I'm happy she found someone. I mean she been through so much. How are the nobles taking it?" she asked.

"Bah! Those fools first accused him of bewitching her. Then they tried to convince her that she should pick some one of higher station. But when he actually explained the ranks of Zeon Space and ground forces and he was basically a commissioned officer, add in his knight hood. Well let's just say he was actually of much higher station then they thought. It was priceless when Blueblood sided with Fancy Pants on it. Saying that if Celestia wants to have a fling with a human or take one of them as consort it's none of our business just as she doesn't tell us who to love. Of course he turned around and started to try and make nice with him to get some say with the production of suits. He was able to buy one favor The good captain said he would teach him to pilot a suit after this event if he provided the wine from his personal stock. I think Blue Blood took as a chance to not just impress him but all the guests. Also I think he thought that whole thing was just rumor." said Luna.

"Oh my. Are you not worried he might be trying to gain power?" asked Ironclaw.

"Why would he? After he was healed from his injuries he and his team if they chose could have attacked once they had there suits. They could have swept away our rule in a day. But they chose to become guards. It may be he just is attracted to her, or perhaps they see some common ground we can't." Said Luna.

"I see. I know we need to talk business but there is one more thing I want to know. Do you think they will get married?" Asked Ironclaw mission or no gossip is always interesting.

The party endded well after midnight, by then most retired for the night and many romantic couples had their own after parties in private.

=============================================
Meanwhile as most the castle sleeps.

Several Griffons sneak off there airship in the port and sneak through the Canterlot streets and over the castle wall.

"So we're did the things come out of the ground?" asked one.

"Over there but I can't see a way for us to get in." said another.

"There must be a way down in side the castle." said their leader.

An hour latter the three had found their way in to the castle dungeon but still no sign of a way in.

"We have checked every down ward stair case in the castle. Why can't we find it?" Asked the lead Griffon.

"I have a idea." Said number two. He walked up to a night guard and taped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me but we are lost the ambassador was in trade talks and said she wanted us to get a good look the new armor she is looking to import." Both his team mates face claw.

The guard smiles. "Wow did you get lost. Go up the stairs back in main hall head to the ball room take the stairs up and then left and head towards Luna's tower there is a door on the right just before the stairs up that looks like it be a broom closet. That door leads to stairs in to the underground sections of the mine from there just follow the torches."

"Thanks and please don't mention this we been lost for hours and if the Ambassador or any other of our higher up hears we got lost on a simple task we would lose our job." Said the Griffon as he and his buddies started off.

"Oh I understand. Luna had us doing laps for a month when we let some ponies sneak in to the archives a few years back." Said the night guard unicorn.
