The room was at another dead silence as Izaiah, Falcon, Gold, Luna, and Celestia looked at the new arrival in pure surprise and hurt. Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity looked on in extreme confusion. Standing before Izaiah was a pitch black pony with a horn bigger than Celestia's, and a set of giant, black, wings at his sides. He was a little less than a head taller than Celestia and had armor that had a bright flame color to it. The crest apon it was a red flame surrounded by five stars signifying the highest rank in the military: a five star General. His mane was a silky silver with glowing red streaks in it, giving it the look of heated metal. His mane flowed on a invisible breeze, much like the princess'. The Alicorn's eyes seemed completely out of place due to his flame-like appearance. They were an icy blue, with a thin line of gold surrounding the outside ring. At his side was a 4 foot long silver, blue, gold, and flame striped sword with a diamond edge, sheathed inside of a green forest camouflage sheath. The Alicorn gave a small grin as he looked around the room.

"S-squad! Superior officer on DECK!" Izaiah commanded giving the best salute he could muster. Solarwing, Gold, Falcon, and even the princess' personal guard followed suit. (Whups. That's navy's thing. My bad.)

The black Alicorn replied in a gruff voice; "At ease. Thank you Major." Izaiah shuddered. Luna was going to ask why Izaiah kept doing that, but Twilight had other plans.

"Um...anyone care to explain why there are two other Alicorns in existence?" Twilight asked politely, grabbing a notepad and pen out of nowhere, ready to take notes. The black Alicorn just ignored her request as he turned to look around until he was facing and locking eyes with Celestia. He gave a sheepish grin and rubbed the back of his head saying;

"Hey Tia..."

The room got quiet once more upon hearing the Alicorn give Celestia a pet name. Surprising everypony in the room, Celestia rose from her throne, walked up to the nervous black Alicorn and smacked him hard against his face, (muzzle?) drawing a small amount of blood. The mane six gasped and the other stallions just looked on, tensing up for a fight to start. The black Alicorn looked into Celestia's eyes, and said regretfully; "I-I'm sorr-" He was cut off by her lips slamming into his own. His eyes widened in surprise, then closed them as he leaned in, deepening the kiss. They moaned softy as Celestia pinned him to the wall. Celesta groaned as The black Alicorn's hoof ran through her mane and erogenous zones on her wings, making her shudder in pleasure. Celestia, still moaning lightly, ran a hoof along the black Alicorn's groin, making him moan as well.

'POMF' 'FWOOSH' 'FWOOSH' Jaws dropped, and Izaiah's, Solarwing's, and Rainbow Dash's wings spread out quickly, and tensing up and twitching hard. Meanwhile, the other ponies in the room had their mouths open wide, jaws almost touching the floor.
(Maybe I should have named this chapter "Awkward" instead...oh well)

Solarwing and Izaiah slowly regained their so called "composure", and cleared their throats, causing the two Alicorns to split apart, gasping for air. A light blush formed on Celestia's cheek that only increased further when she looked around the room. By the time she finished looking at their faces, her body was a furious bright red, rivaling Big Mac's red coat. Drool dropped out of Falcon's mouth. Sgt. Gold clamped his own jaw closed, and shut Falcon's as well. The black Alicorn cleared his throat, his own blush hidden by his dark coat, and spoke.

"Maybe...I should introduce myself." He stood tall stating, "I am Brisk S. Nightly, General of the pony marines, and Husband of Princess Celestia, Co-Ruler of Equestria." Brisk walked to the ex-humans. "Soldiers, I also have your gear, including from when you two were alive." Brisk gave a salute towards Sgt. Gold and Falcon. "Thank you. You two not only risked your lives, but your bodies also, to save my life, and Lance Corporal Flare as well." Falcon and Sgt. Gold returned the salute and nodded while Izaiah cringed for some reason.

"So...where's our gear...Brisk?"

Brisk's horn lit up in a fiery orange/red after Falcon finished his question. The three stallions grinned as familiar camo uniforms appeared. Izaiah's old military duffel bag crashed onto the floor next to Solarwing. Solarwing barely had time to jump out of the way as Izaiah, Falcon, and Gold rushed to the bag, literally, tearing it apart. Izaiah cheered as he found his necklace. He put it on, and then looked for something else. A silver rectangular device fell on the ground. Izaiah dived for it claiming "MINE!!" and Gold and Falcon did the same. Everypony else looked on in confusion. The three tussled and fought for the device. While the trio fought, the mane six picked through the remains of the bag. A suspicious bottle of brown sauce was found by Rainbow Dash who took the cap off and gave a tentative lick. Her eyes lit up at the flavor. It was good apparently, since she just downed the whole bottle. A loud "HELL YEAH!" was heard across the room. Izaiah stood above Gold and Falcon, with the silver device in hoof, smiling wide. That smile faded from his face as he noticed Rainbow Dash. The color drained from Sgt. Gold and Falcon. They pinned Izaiah to the wall quickly. A faint Red was encasing Izaiah's dark blue Pegasus body. One of his eyes was no longer cyan blue, but a bright scarlet. He was PISSED. Growling, he knocked aside Gold and Falcon like they were nothing, the red haze increased and was now extremely noticeable. The color in his other eye which had stayed cyan blue was slowly turning scarlet. "Izaiah" grabbed a sword off of the ground, wielding it like a pro, heading towards RD who was backing away quickly. Gold tackled "Izaiah" to the ground, yelling out;

"SHIT! Falcon! His necklace is gone! GUARDS! BRISK! HELP ME OUT-" A hoof was sent crashing into Gold's face. But everyone seemed to know what to do. The guards tackled "Izaiah" to the ground as well. Brisk tried to hold him down with his magic, but it didn't work. So he just helped hold him down with his hooves. Falcon grabbed the dragon necklace and put it on Izaiah's neck. One of his cyan eyes returned. Izaiah still had a murderous look to him though, and the red glow and scarlet eye were still present. Falcon screamed into Izaiah's ear;

"SNAP THE FUCKING HELL OUT OF IT IZAIAH! YOUARE CONTROL, NOT FLARE!" The silver dragon on Izaiah's necklace glowed orange, then cyan blue, and the glowing stopped. Izaiah's red eye turned cyan once more. The stallions all got off of him and stepped back. Izaiah looked towards the mares. All of them, including some of the stallions looked scared out of their minds. Izaiah walked over to RD. She flinched and all of the mares surrounded her protectively.

"Rainbow...I'm sorry." Izaiah said loud enough for everyone to hear. With that, Izaiah ran to one of the windows and crashed through it and met a fatal 3,000 foot drop. 'Learn or die huh Izaiah? You got balls, I'll give you that.' A familiar voice said in Izaiah's head. Izaiah grunted; "Shut up you asshole. You've caused me enough trouble today." Spreading his wings out, Izaiah lurched upward, gliding through the sky. Izaiah flapped his wings, causing himself to stop. Giving some more test flaps, he flew forward, and back to the castle. He picked up speed, thrusting his wings. When he reached the castle he flew straight up, passing the clouds, and after a few minutes, Izaiah found himself on the edge of Equestria's gravity and space.

"Alright lets get this over with. I hate you, you hate me. I understand that. However, we are stuck with each other." The necklace flashed a light red. Izaiah continued. "So lets work something out. I have a deal for you. Ready?"

"Shoot."
"Next time we have to kill someone, you get control, just that once, no holds barred."

"No way....its too good to be true....wait...there's a but isn't there?"
Izaiah smiled. "Now you're getting it, corporal. Yes you have to be my b**** pretty much and you have to return control to me. Deal Flare?"

"Sounds better than what I have now so, fine Major. I won't screw with your life too much anymore."
Izaiah raised a brow. "So no more of the bullshit that got me discharged? I could have been a Colonel you asshole."
"Yes I won't do any of that. I know how much that meant to you, but hell Major, I got mad. It happens."
"OK. So, buds?"
"How about brothers?"
"Can I trust you?"
"I'm stuck in here, attached to your life force dumbass. I have your back."
"Good. So let's prove that we can work together."
"What do you have in mind, brother."
"Well i learned I have lightning powers a few years back and you have fire, so lets combine the two."
"So how is this gonna-oh. Gotcha. Lets do this."

(in the castle...)

"Rainbow...I'm sorry." Izaiah had said before he ran, then jumped through one of the windows/murals. For a minute or two, the group stood there, in shock of what just happened. Then, they all ran to the window, Pegasus' ready to fly and save him because he didn't know how to fly yet when, FWOOSH Izaiah sped upwards through the sky and beyond. Rainbow Dash readied herself to jump out and join him, but was stopped by Falcon.

"Hold on." RD growled. "Look, I just saw what kind of look Izaiah has right now and I think he's pretty determined to settle it with Flare."
"Who is Flare?" Twilight asked getting closer.

"Lance Corporal Flare was one the bravest young men I had the luck to fight beside." Falcon turned towards Brisk who was looking confused. "Brisk, he disobeyed our orders to leave with you and STAY there so, i'm assuming that when he brought you back to base, he left you. He was there right with us when we died, sir. Not even our powers could have saved us. So now, Flare is attached to Izaiah's life force, and he does not like that one bit." Brisk nodded.

"I understand. I m sorry." Falcon shook his head.
"It's not your fault." Looking up to the sky where Izaiah had disappeared, he continued, "We are marines sir, we don't leave anyone behind, alive or dead." Sgt. Gold nodded in agreement. "That's what a true soldier lives by, and I wouldn't have it any other way." And with that, they all looked to the sky, waiting for Izaiah to come back down. They didn't have to wait for very long. Because with Izaiah's lightning and Flare's fire magic, something jaw dropping was seen. Izaiah's body was seen flying through the sky at incredible speeds and a loud CRACKA-KABOOM was heard and in Izaiah's wake he left this to cover the sky.

(I wish I knew how to put the actual picture in here but all i could figure out was how to put the link in here for it. sorry.)

Part of the once blue sky was now a series of lightning bolts in a circular format. What Izaiah had just done was similar to RD's sonic rainboom, but he had not only broken the sound barrier, but the light barrier too. Izaiah could fly at the speed of light until the effects wore off. IE: ten minutes. Flare's fire magic keeps the speeds from tearing Izaiah's body to shreds if anyone was wondering. Anyway, back to the story.

Izaiah appeared behind the group of ponies staring out of the window. He was still covered in red energy, due to Flare doing his part. Izaiah cleared his throat, startling everypony else.

"Sorry, I had to let out some frustration." Rainbow Dash locked eyes with him. "Rainbow...that was my last bottle of BBQ sauce." RD sped over to Izaiah ready to hug him, and say sorry and such, but she met cold ground. Izaiah was on the other side of the room now. Many eyes widened at the speed Izaiah had just gone at. Pinkie Pie whipped out a speed o meter and yelled at Izaiah, "again!"
Izaiah obliged. The device exploded in pinkie's hoof. She walked over it and read out, "Pinkie Pie speed times two?! No way!"

(Sorry for all these side notes. Pinkie Pie speed=speed of light. Do the math.)
So long story short, Pinkie chased Izaiah for seven minutes then the energy wore off and he was crushed by Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash while Gold and Falcon laughed at his pain. Although Izaiah laughed when he got to keep the mp3 player and the other two shut up. Karma.

"So you should finish getting all of your stuff so we can have dinner." Izaiah, Falcon, and Gold, looked through their gear once more.
Let's just say that shit hit the fan when Izaiah found his grandpa's sword. But that's the next chapter.

Author's Note

Ok so this is going to be one of the last cliff hangers I will torture you all with. I won't pinkie promise because I don't want pinkie showing up at my door with a chainsaw. *shiver* Anyway, next chapter should be done in the next few days because I suck at typing. Sorry and I hope you enjoy!
