Spiral Knights: Equis Orders

As the motley crew arrived in the bustling burg of Haven, Twilight shielded her eyes to protect them from the blinding sunlight. Two horse-headed knights waved them through, and Twilight looked at Varias.

"Spiral Wardens. They're the heavy forces of the Spiral Order. We call them the Calvary."

"Neat." Twilight replied, still impressed by their stature above the rest of the knights.

As Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Chase, and Varias separated from the group of Recon Rangers and Varias's squad, A young squire ran up and saluted Chase.

"Vanguard Chasehassen, Commanders Barrus and Feron wish to see you and the creatures you rescued at the Hall of Heroes. After that, they want them to receive a checkup at the lab."

"Roger that" Chase replied, and the small knights scurried off. As Twilight, Rainbow, and her friends walked past the Grand Fountain and the Auction house, Twilight was intrigued by the number of knights of various heights, all wearing armor of different shapes, colors, and sizes. She could hear shouts, laughter, and conversations emanating from the lively building, and she was tempted to stop and chat with them, but a look from Varias told her not now.. She nodded and walked to the Garrison with the knights. As they entered, she saw four Spiral Wardens guarding a columned building. As they approached, they saluted the Knights and let the group in.

As they entered the hall, Twilight could see knights wearing and wielding all sorts of armor and weapons. As they rounded the corner, she could see more Spiral Wardens, and two knights, one blue and one primarily grey and silvery blue, were talking. When they saw them, they motioned for the two of them to come up.

"Greetings. I am Lieutenant Barrus, this is Lieutenant Feron. We wish to speak with the four of you regarding Chasehassen's discovery." the one with the red scarf said.

"Well, it's kind of a long story, but I think I can explain who we are and what happened." Twilight said. "It happened back on Equestria, where Rainbow Dash and I are from........"

45 Minutes later

"and that's what happened!" Twilight said, rather exhausted. Barrus clutched his chin in thought.

"I see. Those Gremlins have some nerve kidnapping you two from your world like this. Much less royalty." he said, with a kind look to Twilight. "However, this is concerning. The Gremlins could pull more ponies from your world and use them as bargaining chips or test subjects for who-knows-what. It is most concerning."

"That may be a valid point, Lieutenant, but I have the answer to that. They can't. Not without THIS!" Chase said in triumph, holding up a data codex. "This codex contains the schematics and all the data they gathered. I stole it from the testing room when I was still fighting my way in. With this, and with the right materials, we might be able to build our own. Problem is, I can't decode this computer-speak. Not really my thing anyway."

"The techs can handle that. Good job. You truly deserve your Vanguard rank now, if you didn't have it already. However, building this could be very time consuming, and most of our attention is diverted to rebuilding the Skylark. However, If we have the resources, and the Techs agree to build it, we can try." Feron said with a matter of this-decision-is-final towards Barrus, who nodded in agreement. Twilight smiled.

"Thank you very much. Problem is, we don't know how the other knights are going to react to us." Rainbow Dash said.

"We can put up an announcement in the message boards alerting the knights not to harm you and to treat you with respect. The Spiral Order will take care of everything that needs to be done. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, I am placing you under Chasehassen's care. If you have a problem, talk to him. Now, the lab is down near the entrance to the Garrison. Biotech Hahn has finally looked up from his work for once and agreed to do a checkup on you two regarding this being the first time a new species has arrived on Cradle besides the Spiral Order. I would advise going there as soon as you can. Thank you for your time. Dismissed." Barrus said.

Chase and Varias saluted and led the girls out of the Hall of Heroes. As the four of them left, Barrus smiled.

"50 crowns that they get into a fight with that gremlin at the lab."

"Your are on, my fellow lieutenant. Double or nothing!"
