Storm walked up to an all too familiar hill and sighed......."Two years ago......two years ago she died......I'll kill them." He thought as he gritted his teeth.

The other members of the ritual team then walked up the hill and then Crack Shot called Storm over.

After Storm reached his team Crack Shot spoke. "Alright team......we all know what we are doing here so the plan is simply charge and destroy the base.......any questions?" He asked.

Since Crack Shot received no questions from any of his team members he then dismissed them as Storm and Quartz took to the air and Warp......Jagged......himself and Partial charged.

Storm flew up high in the air and scanned the area using his scanning eye and kept a look out for enemy fire with his red eye......and found a weak spot.....a small hole in a watch tower to the northeast.....so he flew towards it and motioned Quartz to follow him.

Quartz followed Storm as the royal gaurd stationed at the base started firing arrows at them and she and Storm began dodging the arrows.

Storm and Quartz eventually reached the tower and Storm delivered a powerful kick to the wall causing it to crumble away...and then Quartz and Storm landed inside the tower and then flew down to the ground floor and then planted many unstable firework bombs at the bottom and then flew up onto the wall.

_________*on top of the wall ten seconds later*________

Storm flew headfirst into one of the guards sides and then stabbed him in the heart with his dagger then flew too another gaurd and double kicked him hard in the skull and then threw his dagger into another gaurds neck.

Storm flew forward and recovered his dagger then continued his assault and smiled.

_________*meanwhile at the bottom of the wall*________

Warp Arka and Jagged Edge ran up to the wall and started planting bombs at the base.......not enough for overkill........just enough to blow up the massive stone wall.

Crack Shot and Partial Dark meanwhile kept anything from disturbing Warp and Jagged.

__________*inside the barracks one minute later*_______

Storm walked into the barracks casually singing one of his songs he made some time ago to himself which echoed across the walls.

"I'm coming to get you and there's nothing you can do.......I'm going to find you and take your head.........it will be a glorious bloodbath and I will not care.........come on already I'm back.........where is my homecoming gift..........I'll just take your brain instead." He sung happily.

Storm repeated himself a few more times just to let the message sink in........it didn't........or it did but they were to scared to move.........Storm did not care anyway.

_______*meanwhile*_______

To say that the guard was afraid would be an injustice.......in truth every single guard in the base was terrified of him........it was not was strength or speed.....it was his sanity that they feared.........they knew that Storm had once flayed a dozen guards just because he was bored.......and because he wanted to experiment on other pony's as well.

To this extent the leader of the Manehatten royal guard base......a unicorn by the name of Granite was mortified at having to face him.......in fear that he himself and his men would meet the same fate as those flayed guards.......however he had and escape plan just in case his first plan failed.....in which Storm would believe the place empty and then depart......when a guard screamed.

Granite and the rest of his men charged towards the place where the scream was heard......and a few of them vomited at the sight.

Storm did kill the guard....but he did so in a some would say.....pycho's design........but to Storm.......it was a masterpiece......and that was what he would do to the guards.....when two more screams were heard.

Granite cursed himself for being unable to save his men......that colt was to strong so the only thing he could do was to........"Fall back!.....Fall back!" He ordered.

His entire unit began to run towards the door some flew....others attempted to use a magic barrier to repel him......which he just cut to ribbons just like he did with the Pegasi.

Granite however did not have the luxury of insanity.......so while charging towards the exit he turned around..........and gasped in horror.

In the mere matter of seconds Storm had performed his 'unique art' on all of the guard.......then turned to face in front of him.......and stopped in horror.

There standing right in front of him.......was what he considered worst then Discord........he charged his horn and fired his most powerful spell and punched him as hard as he could..........but Storm had already plunged his dagger into Granite's heart.......Granite coughed up a lot of blood at once signaling he was dying.....but unlike most that looked at him and called him monster.....this one had said. "One day.......*coughs up blood*......you will look back on this day and you will suffer for this......heh.....and when that day comes......y....you s..should know.......burn in Tartarus you failed experiment." Granite said with his last breath.

Storm just silently stared at him and then got a sadistic smile on his face as he began making 'art' with his latest find.

________*five minute later Manehatten base outskirts*_______

Storm walked up to his team appearing calm as ever when in reality he wanted blood........"calm down calm down......I have four jars of blood in my saddlebags......what Rainbow and Scoots don't know can't hurt them."

Crack Shot was standing next to a plunger.

Crack Shot looked at Storm and shuddered....he was the only 'living' member of the team that new of Storm's.......'art' habits.

Ever since Sift died Storm's habits had gone out of control.......normally Sift would be able to control Storm's cravings like blood drinking......and flaying his victims.

But now that she was dead Storm was out of control.....he did not show it but when battle came.......he was a pycho........but in places of civilization he was a normal everyday pony.

Crack Shot decided it was time. "Team.......get out of here.....I want you to go back to your lives.....forget this ever happened....understood?"'he asked.

Storm.....Jagged....Warp....Partial......and Quartz all nodded receiving a smile from their commander.

The entire team understood the message and jumped off the wall then ran for it as the commander pulled something out of his saddlebags.

It was a short flat peice of wood with a red tip.....he also pulled out a large cigar..."i know I quit years ago but still......I'm going to die anyway so what the buck?"

Crack Shot chuckled to himself as he lit the match and then the cigar......"you know the irony is......is that I'm practically an old weakling.......hmm.....heh oh well serves me right." He said to himself as he pushed the lever.

As Crack Shot pushed the lever the bombs that were set earlier begun to set off and before Crack Shot knew it........he was no more.

__________*two minutes later hill on the outskirts of Manehatten*________

Storm had stopped moving when he reached the top of the hill.......and then he turned around and saw the wall....explode....he shed a single tear that day.......but he cleared his eye and put up his guard when he heard metal armor clanking behind him and his teammates.

Storm turned around and saw a small battalion of royal guard elites......and their leader.

"You really don't want to mess with me right now........I'm in a very bad mood." He threatened.

The leader stepped forward. "You five are now placed under arrest for the destruction of the Manehatten base and the murder of its guard as well." He said plainly.

Storm looked up and saw that the moon was almost full and smiled......he then stepped forward to face the leader of the enemy battalion.

"Give me your name unicorn........and I shall tell you mine.....or do you seek to insult a principal that our warring country's made?" Storm said calmly.

The unicorn looked down and sighed as he looked up and nodded. "My name is captain Shining Armor of the Equestria royal guard......"

"Wait wait wait..........your Shining Armor?.....oh my gosh I heard a hell of a lot about you from Twilight.......God that mare does not shut up......but anyway my name is Storm Blitz.......and i pissed you off didn't I....." Storm said to himself and upon seeing Shining Armor's face filling with rage he had one thing to say. "Ah" he said.

Shining Armor was fuming but managed to control it. "calm down.....I can't let Twily get involved in this.....but then again....It would be a good idea to get as much information as I can get.....I see who this is now......the insane flayer....I hope Twily is okay though." he thought.

"Who will speak for your group?" Shining Armor asked. Storm just shrugged. "I geuss I could do it.....what do you want?" Storm asked.

Shining Armor motioned for Storm to follow him as they went towards a small clearing in the nearby woods.....Storm just shrugged and followed.

__________*forest clearing three minutes later*_________

Storm had silently activated his anti magic rune to prevent him from being effected by spells.

Shining used his magic to grab a flat tree trunk to use as a table.

After they had their makeshift table set up they both stared at eachother is if daring the other to make a move.

After two minutes of silence Storm broke the silence. "So captain......what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked.

Shining then decided two minutes was long enough. "Very well......I was sent here with full authority on this mission.......i propose a deal." He said plainly.

This got Storm's attention. "Ok then what do you want?" He replied.

Shining decided to go through with it. "What I want is very simple.......I want you and your Artic commandos out of Equestria......also I want to know how you know of Twilight." He asked.

Storm smiled. "Ok listen captain......there is a problem with that......you see I'm not returning to the Artic with my squad members........my family here....they need me more.......as for the Twilight thing......she attacked me as soon as she found out where I was from.....heh.......basically the thing is I'm staying here in Equestria.......even with as ignorant as this country is......got a problem with that?" Storm countered.

Shining then fought a war inside his head. "hmm....if I let him live in Equestria he might go after Twily and her friends.....and very likely will attack those that they care about.....but on the other hoof.....the Intel we could obtain from him.....it would change the tide of the war.........especially if I leave a squad of elites to watch him.......that will have to be good enough."

"Hmm......I have something that might work out for both our sides......" Shining Armor began before Storm silenced him with his hoof.

"We will have to continue these negotiations tomorrow.......I'm sorry." Storm said before beginning to hover. "On second thought how about this I will stay my team goes home you have guards watch me from now on....except full moons you lose nothing the Artic loses a powerful asset.....Good cool seeya!" He yelled flying off.

Shining Armor went to stop him but found at least some wisdom in his words and returned to the hill where apperently Storm informed them of the deal and left for home......Shining then sent four of his elite to follow Storm while he and the others went to Ponyville.

___________*meanwhile at an unknown location*___________

Two figures walked through the shadows of the ancient structure before one stopped at a window that had a great view of the moon......this caught the second figures attention and it too walked up to the window.

"Is there something wrong?" The first figure asked.

The second figure turned its body to face the other figure and revealed a horn.

"No it's nothing......it's just that I find the moon so calming in a way." The unicorn replied.

The first figure turned its body to face the other revealing wings on it.

"While that is good we must attend to other matters......don't you agree?" The pegasus replied pointing towards a third shadow....which too was revealed......the third figure was an earth pony.

"I agree....good night then." The earth pony said walking off.

The unicorn grew slightly nervous. "Grandmaster........are you sure that allowing that colt to join our order is wise?" The unicorn asked.

The pegasus chuckled a little bit. "Don't worry about it.....one problem at a time." The Pegasus said.
