The New Lunar Republic- Rebellion of The Solars

Sky charged her horn and held them all under a force field, all while the Lunars took position around it, ready to attack at any moment. One of them bucked the door closed, trapping them all inside. The second the door closed, Sky heard a loud crash of glass being smashed then roar come form behind her, right where the tube was. She stood there, stunned. She slowly turned around to face the threat.

The creature stood before her, growling and looking about, unsure of what to do. She crouched under it's gaze, but still held her magic aura. She did not want to attack it, as that would only anger the creature. Unfortunately one of her stallions, probably a new recruit felt differently, in his scared state he charged the creature, causing it to roar and strike out at him, killing him instantly and tossing him across the room. She gasped and reeled back into her own force field. "Stay back!" she cried. The creature turned to them.

The creature attacks her guards, easily smacking them aside, it's sharp spikes ripping and tearing. This angers the princess. She disregards the force field and instead charges an attack spell, shattering the dome behind her. The alicorn then flies high to the ceiling and shoots the creature with her powerful magic. It reels back and falls to the ground, unconscious. The solars, seeing the Princess's might quickly scatter. She lands on the ground and sets a force field over it. The creature doesn't move. The few stallions that survived picked themselves back up and look at the creature with mixtures of awe and hate.

Sky looks around. Many of the stallions that had accompanied her were on the ground, unconscious. Some were dead, and few were standing. The few that were standing and weren't too badly hurt began checking the others for pulses, the ones that were still alive they did what they could to bandage their wounds, and for the dead, they simply said goodbye.

The solars, on the other hand, were disoriented. They were throughout the room, standing in shock. Some of the Lunars pointed their weapons at them and brought them to the ground. Silver suddenly trots into the room, staring at the creature in amazement. "Silver!" Skywriter cries. She ran over to her, "Thank Luna your here, we have wounded!" Without giving her a chance to answer, though, the princess ran to check some the pulses of the unconscious ponies. After staring at the creature she trots up to Sky, frowning. "We still have Solars to deal with"

She glanced around the room at all the captive solars, "Wellll, I think we have a few for questioning."

She nods. "And what of the others?"

Sky puts a hoof to her chin, then looks up again, "We can have a few guard the door where they are, I think it will hold." she recalled the bomb-proof door they had locked from the outside earlier. She nods once again. "Okay Princess, but we'll have to take over this port soon, should be use lethal force or try to take prisoners?" Sky frowns, "Don't take them by force, that will only cause an uproar. Talk to them through the transmission if you can. Tell them that we can come to an agreement if they let their leader come and have a little chat with me, as well as Moon."

"Hmm... alright Princess, but I still say we should just kill them, it's simple and there wouldn't be too many problems" She shrugs and trots back to the computer room. She facehoofs as Silver leaves. Why would anypony resort to such a gruesome end for the ponies they possibly knew and loved?

One of the Lunars trots up. "Ma'am, what should we do now?"

"Bring all of the injured ponies back to the control room, and make sure nopony has any major injuries." she replied. He nods and trots away, getting a few others to help him then begins doing the Princess' orders. Skywriter looked around and sighed. She was then startled by a thump. She looked at the creature under her force field, waking up. The thing shook it's head, quickly becoming aware of it's situation. It punches the field. The goddess flinches. She thickens the field as Lunar guards brought their captives and wounded to the door. The creature roars angrily but doesn't strike out again.

When they finally made it out, Skywriter brought the force field to match that of the prison it was first held in, and ran out the door. Her guards quickly shut the door and lock it, trapping it inside. Sky slung the two unconscious solars at the door on her back, "Alright, let's get back to the control room." Her guards nod and lead her back to the control room.

Once they made it there, Sky set the solars on the ground, perching them against a wall, and set a force field around them. They wake up a few minutes later. At first they are dazed, but then realize where they are. They look around, obviously a bit scared at their predicament. "Tis alright," Skywriter assured them.

"Wh-Who are you...?" One of them asks. She smirks, "Now why would I give my name away?" They couldn't think of any reasons so they shut up, looking at her quietly. "We are going to ask you some questions, and don't try to lie." she chuckles, "I have a nice little truth spell," the princess cast said spell on them. They move back, startled at the light suddenly surrounding them. "Now,"

she laid down in front of the force field, crossing her two forelegs, "Who is your commander?"

"C-Captain Deleth" One stutters out, trying to fight against the spell. "Deleth?" she asked, writing it down. "Y-Yes" The one that answered nods. She plastered a frown on her face, "Why are you here?"

"To... to ke-keep mor-more Lun-Lunars from lan-landing." There was a look of displeasure on her face now, "Well then, I guess we are going to have to change that."

"We'll kill all you dirty Lunars!" He barks out. She stands up and spreads her wings wide. The princess now looked twice her size, "That is not my content goal, you fool! Nor should it be yours!" One cowers and the other tries to stand in the small force field. "You'll never win!" Skywriter closes her eyes, taking a deep breath, and calms her voice, "I wish to only live in peace, I do not want to be responsible for the slaughter of innocent ponies." She then jerks her head forward, slight anger once again arising, "and words shall not stop me from reaching this goal!"

"You old cow! You will never win! We'll burn and slaughter any who would support you!" He growls. She once again closed her eyes and calmed her voice, "Do you not see the beauty of both sides? Light and dark, day and night. One cannot exist without the other."

"Light can always exist without darkness, it always WINS over darkness!"

"Without darkness," she shouts, "the plants would wither and die! Without darkness, many creatures of the night would have no chance of survival! Without darkness, order will be forever lost!"

"You hideous creatures of the night don't deserve any chance of survival!"

She chuckles, "They control the pests. Without the night, I'm sorry to say, many of them could die, and the food chain could be broken. That would result in even your animals to die." The princess sits down and leans her head on the force field, her back facing the solars, "It's all about balance. I'm not sure you know this, but Luna and Celestia were the best of friends before their parents ascended and passed Equestria's duties onto them. Luna would tell me stories of how much fun they had together, but the weight of the crown separated them. This war is in between them, I even have a dear friend of mine who helps Celestia...she tells me, every night Celestia locks herself in her room, and sometimes cries herself to sleep. Luna does the same every once in a while." The two solars sit there in silence, angrily letting her rant away. She falls silent, "We don't have to fight. Fighting is what ponies do when they are scared. Luna and Celestia are scared."

The stallions decide to just not answer her, to see where it goes. A few minutes go by, and finally Skywriter turns around and asks, "What are your names?" The one that was mostly staying quiet speaks up first. "I'm Snow Hex..." The other more loud one speaks up next. "I'm Dominic."

"Good to know," she nodded, "So tell me, why do you think the night is so bad?"

"It is Luna's domain! Why would we side with such a hideous creature!?" Dominic explodes. "Hm. So Luna is hideous now?" she brought up a hologram picture of the alicorn for them to see, "Then I guess I won't understand your concept of beauty. Of course, personality wise? She can be a bit grumpy sometimes, but we all have our bad days. And," she added, "I meant the night itself, not it's ruler."

"Are all creatures of the night as dumb as yourself?" He asks simply, a smirk playing on his lips. She laughed, "I may not be the smartest of ponies, but if your smart yourself, you wouldn't have taken that question seriously." He shakes his head and sits down. "Getten' tired of my rambling, eh?" She smirked.

They both nod. "Heh," The princess got up, "Well then, Snow Hex. Why is the night so bad in your eyes?"

"It's... it's not actually... my shop was failing and I needed work... Celestia's recruiter just showed up first I guess."

"Oh," she looked at him, saddened. "Yeah..." He responds, not sure what else to say to the night princess. "Well then," The princess stood up, "I have some more questioning to do." Dominic grumbles, Snow just kinda sits there, awaiting his fate. "What is Celestia planning?" She asked. They both answer honestly. "We don't know."

"Hm..."

They sit there, looking at her. She stood up and looked them in the eyes, "But, do you know anything? Surely you have something you'd have to know." They both shake their heads, Snow speaks up. "We don't have any contact with her from here..." She pauses before continuing, and stands up, "You two are stuck with the burden of the truth spell for now, so be careful what you say," she glances at Dominic, then walks to the controls.
