Greenwatch

~Chapter Ⅰ: Chaos Inbound~

A messenger appeared in the throne room informing me an army was approaching Ponyville, I had sent as many soldiers as I could, but it was no use, they were too powerful, it seemed they were looking for something, which I could only assume were the Elements of Harmony, Now Twilight and her friends have been captured along with some other unfortunate ponies, every guard I send to negotiate ends up dead shortly afterwards, poison, killed in action, assassinated when they return, These kidnappers are a ruthless group, I didn't want to have to do this but... I need to ask a favor of a hopeful ally. I have sent a messenger with the last known coordinates of the organization known as Greenwatch, they may be our last hope.

"Sir! There is a messenger here bearing a message from the princess!" Said a sharply dressed man with an urgent expression,

"A messenger? For what reason I wonder... Bring im' here," I said with a curious grin. I saw a man wearing a light suit of leather armor, but no mailbag, must be a vocal message.

"The p-princess requests you come t-to the castle to speak a-about help..." The messenger said, fear clearly audible in his voice,

"Must be very serious for her to send a vocal messenger to me, very well, and I may come alone so you may feel safer in my presence," I said with a happy sigh and began to walk up the stairs up to Ponyville.

"Where in Equestria is everypony?? It's a ghost town here!" I said in both shock and confusion,

"Everything will be explained at the castle," The messenger said as they boarded the train.

In front of you, you saw the Leader of Greenwatch himself, he had no guards, but even though he had no visible weapons, you knew he was armed, his name was Lorenzo Barker, the so far peaceful leader of his organization,

"Hello Princess! What could an all-powerful monarch such as yourself want with a petty citizen such as me?" Lorenzo said with a sly grin,

"The bearers of the Elements of Harmony have been kidnapped by an army of some foreign country of sorts," I said quickly, knowing best not to waste his time,

"Annnnd? The Elements of Harmony are not my problem, they are yours, I don't need to get tangled with a bunch of ponies and their issues just as much as you and your ponies do not wish to get involved with mine," Lorenzo stated plainly,

"Lorenzo, please, this is of the utmost importance, you must help us," I pleaded, even though I knew it would have no effect... at least coming from an adult.

"You know what Celestia??" Lorenzo said with a happy little sigh,

"Yes?"

"I will help you, and do you know why? Because I will not turn into a harbinger of evil and darkness when I don't get what I want," Lorenzo said with an evil grin staring at Luna, who glared daggers at him,

"C'mon Lulu, we need to learn to laugh at the past," Lorenzo said,

"Don't call me that..." Luna said, before she left the throne room in what seemed like frustration,

"So you will assist us in retrieving them?" I asked with a more excited tone in her dreary voice,

"Yes, but I refuse to send any of my people to fight for you," Lorenzo said, I stared at him blankly with confusion,

"Then how do you intend to save them?"

"I'll do it myself, I will not endanger the lives of my people just to save some strangers,"

"Thank you Lorenzo, They headed off towards the mountains, the path to their area is heavily guarded, be safe," I said, still wondering how he managed so save them all and return alive,

"They sent a message for ransom, half of all our bits, they seem fond of gold, or objects that shine," I said,

"I'll show them something that shines," With that, he pulled out a sword and stood in the doorway and shouted one last thing,

"Don't worry about me, I'll bring some friends to ensure their safety your highness, not any of my men of course, Lorenzo said with a happy grin as he left the throne room,

"Sister... Are you sure about this? About HIM?" Luna asked as she re-entered the throne room,

"Luna, I don't think we have any other choice but to trust him,"

"No... I need to go with him, to ensure their safety..." Luna said,

"Sister, it's far too dangerous, what happens that if you get killed?"

"If I get killed it's best that it will be in battle and not here,"

They've brought us to this large village of sorts leading up to a some kind of castle, the girls have been quiet for awhile and with good reason too, the guards threatened us that if we tried anything we would all die, how could this have happened? I feel the worst has yet to come...

"Hurry up back there and when you do get up here enter the building on your right!" A creature from the front shouted as me and my friends were all separated I entered a heavily fortified building where four guards stood by a door, they parted to let me, and the other creature who had been following me to ensure that I do not attempt to escape,

"Ah! Twilight Sparkle, I've been eagerly waiting for your arrival," bellowed a voice from an unknown direction. A pony teleported in front of me and knocked me off balance,

"What's the matter? I thought you were used to teleportation Miss Sparkle, in Fact, you're gonna be using your magic a lot this vacation...And allow me to introduce myself, my name is Zealous Might",

I marched towards the mountain side and already saw five guards there, well this could get slightly messy, I turned to my team, my cleric, Aiden. My best friend and martial artist, Shayne, and our make shift spell caster Blues, our silent killer, Blaze, and last, but not least we had... Luna??.

"Luna, what are you doing here??" I said in a confused whisper,

"Making sure you don't screw up," She answered which got a giggle out of me,  It was not the best team I had ever organized, but it was close... in some aspects, we headed towards the mountains, we hid behind a bush as I motioned towards Blaze, he nodded at me and climbed up a tree, three minutes later he pounced on two of the guards from above plunging his hidden blades in their backs, the other three spun around in shock, and that's when we went in for the kill, I stabbed two of them and Shayne knocked the last one out, interrogation time.

"Buh..." The guard said as he spat out a tooth,

"Ah! Excellent! You're awake! Now let's make this quick why don't we, all your friends are dead and you have no choice to point me in the right direction to find your people or you will die here and now, I will accept your mercy." I said quickly with an evil grin plastered on my face,

"H-huh?" The guard said then Shayne back slapped him receiving a large satisfying crack,

"Now tell me, where are your people located people? Your leader? Where you buy your favorite dirty mags?" I asked again, more pressuring this time,

"H-hehe, Never g-gonna tell," The guard said, a shaggy smile creeping on his face,

"Wrong answer," I said as I flipped out a knife a pressed it against his throat,

"Last chance buddy, I don't play around," I said, sensing the fear in his eyes, I wasn't bluffing.

"N-never!" The guard said, he thought I was bluffing, I pulled the knife away from his neck, he sighed in relief before I stabbed him in the leg, he cringed and I pressed the now crimson knife against his throat one last time,

"Bonus chance, Tell me or I'll just torture you," I said, serious mode now,

"W-west! P-please don't kill me!" The guard said as tears streamed from his face, I smiled in triumph,

"Thank you very much sir, Aiden heal him, once you're healed, get your ass out of here and never return until you have learned to think clearly, and if you lied to me, I will hunt you down and torture you, are we clear?" I said, there was nothing but truth in my voice,

"C-crystal Sir..." The guard said before he began to slump down and Aiden ran over to heal him. No one was going to stand in my way, this is a rare opportunity to show everyone how powerful just a few Members of Greenwatch can be.

"Wait, who's protecting the Towns?" Shayne asked, an odd question for anypony else with an easy answer.

"My friend Naiza is, and of course he has help from The Mafia, Greenwatch, The Royal Guard and the Assassins, not to mention his own men." I answered plainly.

"We are pretty powerful, aren't we? I sometimes forget what it was like to just be normal," Shayne said almost in a whisper,

"I honestly don't think there was ever a time when you were ever normal," I said with a laugh,

"We should become a War Band,"

"Aren't we already a War Band?"

"I mean pick up travellers along the way and have them join us,"

"Hmm, Interesting gag, Greenwatch War Band,"

"Its got a ring to it," Me and Shayne said in unison.

I don't know where I am, I'm scared, Rarity and the others look scared too. I don't know who a lot of these ponies are... some of them aren't even ponies. Rarity told us everything will be alright but that pony at front of us yelled at her for talking, I don't like him. I want to go home.

"My sense are tingling," I said, knowing something was horribly, horribly wrong,

"The one where we're being stalked or the one where a child is in peril?" Shayne asked,

"Both,"

"Fuck," Shayne replied quickly before jumping behind a rock as a hail of arrows rained from above,

"How many?" Blues asked,

"Nine,"

"I might be able t' take out three of em'... maybe four," Blues answered, his accent growing in not fear, but excitement,

"I got a plan, follow my lead," I told them plainly as I vaulted over the rock we had taken cover behind and made a mad dash up the stony hill.

"What the hell is e' doin'?" Blues asked in immense confusion,

"Bum Rushing without telling me," Shayne said with an irritated expression as he as well vaulted over the rock and brought up his assault rifle and began spraying at the hill killing two of the archers while I rushed up killing three of them.

"Five down, four to go," I whispered to myself to help me focus, I rushed the others but one of the arrows hit me but bounced off of my dark purple armor which shined beautifully in the moon light, Blues fired a shard of ice at my attacker, killing him, Blaze flanked the other two and stabbed them from behind leaving the last archer dropping his weapons for fear of his life,

"Now tell us... Where are they?!" I asked in a familiar voice to the archer, Shayne just looked at the ground and shook his head,

"I-I don't know!!" The archer cried out as I began to take out my knife his eyes expanded and his body shook in fear,

"WEST! THEY WENT TO THE WEST! Y-you should see a-a tree... that has someone's n-name engraved in it! Turn right at the tree!" The archer cried, however, I thought of something clever,

"Did you write that in the tree?" I asked,

"Y-yes..."

"What do you think your 'partner' would think if they knew you were doing this?" I asked, staring into his bloodshot eyes,

"Disappointment..." He muttered,

"Disappointed because we defeated you? Or disappointed you're forced to do this?"

"S-she wouldn't want to see me like this..." He said, sadness filling his voice,

"Come with us, friend, help us overthrow these demons and bring justice to your lands," I asked, certain I knew his response,

"T-thank you..."

"Do you have a name, comrade?"

"Pavle Benjamin, sir," Pavle answered,

"Welcome to the team, Pavle, and please refrain from calling me 'sir', we are all treated equal in this party, even if some are more respected then others, we are all equals," I said as we went on our way, further west.

I'm so confused, Rainbow Dash said that everything was gonna be alright, to just stay close to her, but the 'thing' at the front separated us and put us in different rooms with bars. The bed here is cold. I miss AppleBloom and Sweetie Belle. I want to be free.
