It's now been a full month since the alleyway incident. The sun hangs high in the sky as Princess Luna is walking along a corridor on the top level of the large government building that replaced the castle many years ago. Princess Luna wears an outfit similar to Jihl Nabaat in Final Fantasy XIII. The differences being that Princess Luna's outfit has midnight blue for the green and black for the white. Also she doesn't wear the tie or gloves and military grade slim boots instead of heels. The gold on her outfit is removed as well. Princess Luna eventually reaches a pair of double doors and pushes her way into the conference room beyond them. The conference room has rows of joint desks with chairs and a large screen at the front of the room. Princess Luna takes her place at the front of the room behind a similar desk and looks out across the room wearing a serious expression.

"You all know why you are here... Pathogen... The best of the best, the most elite the government has to offer. Alas despite this, in the last month we have lost two of our own alongside the two from the normal government... This is most unacceptable and I will not tolerate further failure... You are currently all that remains." Luna looks out across the room at each agent individually and takes a deep breath. "Agent one, Applejack... Boasting unnatural Earth Pony strength and a very... Unorthodox service record in the Canterlot army. You were recruited because of your ability to do what is needed and do it without hesitation."

Applejack has her hoofs up on the desk as she is leaning back in her chair. She smiles and tips her hat. "Thank you, Princess Luna, I wont disappoint ya." Applejack states with confidence.

"Agent two, the spirit of chaos, Discord... Given your previous actions against the crown and your level of skill with chaos magic... My sister and I saw fit to grant you a second chance and recruit you into Pathogen. I do hope we won't have to put you away again..." Princess Luna looks at Discord who is nodding rapidly then changes it to a serious shake.

"Dear princess, I'd never dream of going back into that tasteless prison... I will do my best for the government and strike down thy enemies without mercy. Although a lot has changed since I was put away it seems... Especially these outfits..." Discord looks at his government Pathogen outfit and makes a 'ugh' sound.

"Agent three, Octavia.... One of our most esteemed agents and who has a distinguished service record. The Kansen know her as... 'The Final requiem'... Mainly because any Kansen who has heard her song never lives long afterwards. I trust you will preform better than the other two." Princess Luna smiles at Octavia knowing she excels at her job.

"I will continue to do as I have always done, Princess Luna. To clean up the streets of the filthy Kansen and keep our citizens safe." Octavia puts on a false smile for everyone.

"Agent four... Silver Bullet... Hmm?" Princess Luna looks around the room at everyone but can't seem to find the pony she is looking for. She sighs deeply before looking at Twilight Sparkle.

"I do believe Silver Bullet had a previous arrangement which he had to attend to. Something about meeting an important friend for lunch, I think." Twilight Sparkle rubs her forehead and sighs deeply.

"Well, all that's left is agents five and six. Trixie and Twilight Sparkle who form the magical fighting duo known to the Kansen world as... 'The Mystical Manipulation Duo'... I trust you both to continue your duty as you have been and further eliminate the Kansen threat." Luna finishes the introductions.

"Of course, it's only to be expected from the great and powerful Trixie." Trixie boasts while looking very smug.

"We will do our best, your highness." Twilight Sparkle nods firmly at the princess trying to make up for Trixie's arrogance.

Luna takes a deep breath and looks out among the agents. "You should already know, but I will tell you all now... We have lost agents Spike and Sheriff Silverstar. The normal government have lost Braeburn and Sunset Shimmer... They died because they were too weak compared to their opponents. I wont tolerate any more failures from any of you... Get stronger so this embarrassment doesn't happen again. On the up note we are gaining a new Pathogen agent today... The labs have completed her development and integration process deeming her worthy of field testing." Luna begins to explain.

Applejack sits normally and looks intrigued. "Princess Luna, is that the 'bio-weapon' we have been hearing rumours about?"

"Indeed it is... Most likely whatever you have heard is all true... Her details will be explained soon, for now simply treat her as another member of Pathogen. I believe this concludes our meeting, you are all dismissed." Luna finishes her explanation.

Everyone stands up and salutes Princess Luna before leaving the room at their own pace. Princess Luna sighs before leaving the meeting room and heading for the R&D department.

Meanwhile in the R&D science lab a creepy looking male pony is wearing a buttoned up pure white lab coat, glasses and black trousers. He is looking over six monitor screens on a computer terminal beside a large canister. The canister is filled with a light blue liquid and within that liquid is a middle aged naked mare. The mares coat is greyish-white while her tail and mane are a dark purple. On her back are, folded in, slightly larger than normal bat pony wings.

"Doctor Sinclair... I trust everything is going according to your projections?" Princess Luna suddenly appears and stands beside the doctor.

"Oh quite, she has shown a great amount of will power and determination during the intense experiments. I gave her the option between normal and intense... We all knew what the experiments entailed and that they would not be without a great deal of pain no matter the route. However, she didn't pass out once... no matter how much pain she was in she carried on... Truly the most remarkable specimen I've had the pleasure of working on." Doctor Sinclair smiles and chuckles to himself.

"I see... It brings me some reassurance that she survived... Were she not so determined I would have stopped her. At least now we have a trump card against the Kansen and can even up the playing field a great deal... Is she ready for release?" Princess Luna asks looking at the monitors.

Doctor Sinclair begins typing on the keyboard of the terminal before standing back slightly. "Oh, I was waiting for your majesty to arrive so she could release the good captain herself. Seems only fitting don't you think, your highness?" Doctor Sinclair snickers slightly and looks at Princess Luna.

"You are indeed a crazy, strange and scary pony... However, I cannot argue with results... Also, thank you for reserving the chance to release her to me." Princess Luna steps in front of the terminal and enters a password before pressing enter.

The chamber suddenly springs to life with lights going on and off. The liquid inside the chamber begins to bubble slightly as it's drained out the bottom of the chamber. The front half of the chamber opens and the mare falls out forwards into Princess Luna who catches her and eases her onto the white floor. The mare groans a little before slowly opening her eyes to reveal they are yellow and have a slit for her pupil like other bat ponies.

"P-princess Luna..? Did I pass or am I dead?" The mare mumbles loud enough that Princess Luna can hear her.

"You passed, my dear. My esteemed captain of the night guard... It makes me beyond happy you survived those awful experiments..." Princess Luna holds the mare gently.

"While I'm sure this is a most joyful moment for you both, we still need to run through many simple tests to see that she is running at full speed. However, it is not my place to interrupt your highness during this emotional reunion so I will go prepare her equipment and clothes." Doctor Sinclair awkwardly shuffles out of the room so as not to disturb Princess Luna.

Princess Luna runs her fingers through the mare's mane softly. "You said before that should you survive you would like a new name to go with your new body modifications. Have you decided on that name?" Princess Luna prompts the mare who nods slightly.

"Hémolyse... That's the name I've picked for myself... Princess Luna." The mare closes her eyes clearly needing a bit of rest before her tests.

"Well then... Hémolyse... Welcome back to the royal night guard... Captain." Princess Luna gently embraces Hémolyse and strokes her mane to comfort her.

After a few hours rest and passing her physical tests Hémolyse made her way to the armoury to pick up her gear. Walking into the room wearing a outfit similar to Yaag Rosch from Final Fantasy XIII. Only differences are that she has no sabre on the front of her outfit and is wearing a helmet similar in style to that of a PSICOM Enforcer from Final Fantasy XIII. The colours of her helmet and outfit are in midnight blue for the main and black for the details. Hémolyse walks over to a mare cleaning and maintaining government issue highly modified 9mm pistols, which every grunt carry's for their side arm. The mare is wearing the standard uniform of a PSICOM Enforcer without her helmet. The mare's coat is a pale green while her mane and tail are a mocha brown with, her eyes are also a mocha brown colour. The mare casually smokes a cigarette while working, with an ashtray on the counter.

Hémolyse clears her throat before speaking, getting the mare's attention. "I'm here for the special package signed under the name 'Ivory Moon'... Princess Luna should of already informed you of my arrival." Hémolyse states as she looks around at the collection of weapons.

The mare takes out her cigarette and blows some smoke before tapping the ash on the end into the ashtray. She then places it back in her mouth and opens up the armoury inventory on her interactive computer screen, also on the counter. Taking her time she scrolls through the inventory before coming to the package Hémolyse mentioned.

"Yeah, I got the package and you say you're the one I've been waiting for all day to pick it up?" The mare eyes Hémolyse up and down and puts the pistol on the counter. "You look like one fine ass mare... I wouldn't mind going a round with you~" The mare jokes before looking at the night guard patch sewn into the left chest of Hémolyse's jacket. "The name is Iron Striker and I'd be your mare any day of the week... Night guard captain~" Iron Striker blows a playful kiss at Hémolyse before standing up and going through her shelves of stock.

"I'm flattered, you're not so bad looking yourself. However, I don't think you're quite my type..." Hémolyse looks at Iron Striker as she bends down to check lower shelves and eyes her plot. "That said... Spending so many months in a lab with nothing more then a creepy doctor, tons of pain and no way to relieve stress but your short lived dreams... One's own outlook on life, even principles are bound to change... That said I'm still not used to my altered body yet. Perhaps when I am I'll take you up on your offer." Hémolyse chuckles slightly enjoying her new freedom.

Iron Striker picks up a sealed slightly heavy looking long box and places it on the counter before sliding it through the slot in the fence around the counter. "Here it is... Contents contain as follows: One heavily modified revolver with belt hook-able speed loaders, one single edged muramasa blade with upgraded scabbard and finally one thin royal night guard captain dagger. Please check the contents to make sure all is in order and test out your gear on those target dummy's over there opposite this counter." Iron Striker explains pointing to where she means.

Hémolyse places her hand on the scanner to unlock the box. once it turns green she opens the box and gets out the revolver as well as the speed loaders to check them. "I will of course need ammunition for my revolver and speed loaders please." Hémolyse requests as Iron Striker places the boxes of ammo on the counter through the slot. Hémolyse then proceeds to load her revolver and speed loaders with standard ammunition. She then gets out the holster from the box and puts it around her waist so the gun is hidden in the right side of her jacket. After unloading all the current rounds into a target dummy from her standing position she reloads and holsters the revolver.

"I'm glad to see you like it. I only finished making that gun last month. The parts were not easy to make or find for it. I upgraded the chamber to hold eight bullets instead of six, added a long barrel for increased range and accuracy and finally made the grip very comfortable to work with and sits nicely in the hand. My finest work if I say so myself." Iron Striker sounds excited about the revolver as she explains it.

Hémolyse takes out a midnight blue handled muramasa blade from the box and inspects it. The wooden sheath is also a midnight blue colour with black string around the top, so Hémolyse can strap it to her waist. Hémolyse unsheaths the blade a little to see that it is very well made and looks extremely sharp. "This looks perfect... I'm happy you were able to restore the hilt for me and clean up the blade. I've no doubt this will fell many Kansen during its use." Hémolyse attaches the muramasa blade to her left side again inside her jacket like her revolver.

"I think that's everything you had to pick up... Please do come again whenever you require maintenance or... If you just want to see me. It does get lonely working down here all alone." Iron Striker pouts since Hémolyse is now leaving.

"I will think about it and I will certainly return should I need upkeep. Please excuse me for now." Hémolyse bows her head slightly in thanks before heading for the exit to the armoury.

Once night fell upon Canterlot, Hémolyse could be seen on the edge of the government building rooftop looking out at the city. A nice cool breeze flows past her and she sighs deeply before a female voice speaks into her ear from her helmet. "Something wrong Lady Hémolyse?" The female voice sounds mature and calm.

Hémolyse shakes her head. "No, I'm just glad to be out of that stuffy lab and get some proper fresh air... I have missed the outside world during my upgrade." Hémolyse folds her arms and looks up at the moon.

"Well, judging from my scan you have had many bio-logical enhancements. Your physical strength and muscle tissue were enhanced meaning you can run faster, jump higher and be overall much stronger. Your mind has been enhanced to allow greater reflexes and increase your awareness. Your eyes have been modified to enhance your sight. Other than that your mare parts are all in order." The female voice happily states.

Hémolyse laughs for a moment and breaths deeply. "You really haven't changed since I've been away... Victoria. I'm glad to have you back in all your full blunt glory." Hémolyse unfolds her arms and turns around on the spot before making herself fall backwards and start heading down the building. Halfway down she unfolds her bat wings, which are a bit larger than a normal bat ponies. Hémolyse then kicks away from the building and begins to fly towards Canterlot town square. Once she is close to the town square she lands on the street just before it and folds in her wings. Hémolyse then begins walking the rest of the distance looking around for any disturbances. After a few minutes of walking she stops in front of an alleyway and looks down it to see three odd male ponies kneeling by a corpse and appear to be devouring it. Hémolyse turns and begins walking down the alleyway.

"My lady, what music selection would you desire for tonight? Something rock or jazz based perhaps?" Victoria offers Hémolyse.

"Hmm something classical and soothing I think for tonight, if you please." Hémolyse happily requests.

Hémolyse stops several feet away from what she believes are three Kansen by the blade weapons on their arms made from blood. One of the colts looks up at Hémolyse and nudges the other colt just opposite him. "Hey Rio, who the heck is that?"

"Huh? What the buck are you talking about?" Rio turns to look at Hémolyse and sighs deeply. "Likely just somepony who walks around dressed like a creep... Ignore them Jasper." Rio firmly states before going back to the corpse.

"I don't think she is just some creep... Rio, Jasper... Look at the badge on her left chest, she is with the night guard." The more bulky looking stallion stands up and forms a large arm blade on his right arm. The other two stand up sharply in surprise.

"The night guard? You bucking with me?" Rio forms a smaller but equally sharp looking arm blade on his left arm while Jasper does the same but on his right arm.

Hémolyse stares at the three looking them up and down. "You three are without a doubt Ketsueki Kansen... Which means force is required for your elimination..." Hémolyse states firmly.

"My lady, I found something I think you will like. It is a vocal piece with accompanying instruments from a game franchise called 'Hitman'. It came highly recommended in the search I made." Victoria informs Hémolyse while showing her information on the inside screen of her visor.

"Hmm please play it for now then, I feel things will get messy in a few moments." Hémolyse states while smiling slightly to herself.

"With pleasure my lady, I shall play the music in just a moment." Victoria happily informs while putting a MP3 styled music bar in the top left of Hémolyse's visor, showing her the music piece name and duration.

"I'm not dying here like this! Tonight was meant to be like every other night! Why tonight!" Jasper panics and sprints towards Hémolyse who doesn't shift an inch.

Jasper reaches Hémolyse and lunges at her head using his arm blade, but Hémolyse slightly shifts her head to the side narrowly avoiding the blade and grabs Jaspers arm. She then uses her other hand and smashes up into his elbow joint, snapping his arm in two. Jasper screams out in pain, before he can recover Hémolyse slams her foot into his knee joint also snapping it in two like his arm. Jasper is brought to his knees and Hémolyse grabs his head with her free hand. "Rest in peace, little Kansen" Hémolyse twists Jasper's head with force snapping his neck and killing him, she then pushes him onto the floor and begins walking towards the other two.

"Rio, take her out! Don't die like a punk!" The stallion yells as Rio charges Hémolyse.

"I got this boss Sabre, don't worry!" Rio reaches Hémolyse but has no time to act as she grabs his shoulders and knees him hard in the stomach before using her right arm elbow to smash down onto his back with such force it snaps his spinal cord. Rio falls to his knees and then flat onto the floor lifeless. Hémolyse continues walking towards Sabre.

"You little bitch!" Sabre charges at Hémolyse and attempts to slash at her, but she grabs his blade with her gloved left hand. Sabre's eyes widen and he tries to move his blade away, but can't. "Who the fuck are you! What the fuck are you!" Sabre screams at Hémolyse who slams her free fist into Sabre's chest causing the sound of many broken ribs. Sabre coughs up blood and has his arm with the blade on it twisted harshly and broken at his elbow joint. Hémolyse then places her right hoof against Sabre's chest and pulls his arm with force. After a few seconds his lower arm is ripped off and Sabre is pushed back screaming in agony. Hémolyse stands normal again and tosses the arm aside.

"My name doesn't matter... You brought hurt and pain on the innocent and this is your punishment..." Hémolyse states.

Sabre forms another large arm blade on his remaining arm and attempts to lunge at Hémolyse, who slides past the blade and grabs his arm. She then merely twists it very harshly and rips it off like the first arm and pushes Sabre back again. "I will not die here like this!" Sabre goes to charge at Hémolyse but stops when she pulls out her revolver and places it against his forehead. Sabre falls to the floor kneeling and stares at Hémolyse.

"Know that I forgive you and pray you find salvation in death..." Hémolyse firmly states as she pulls the trigger sending a single bullet into and through Sabres head killing him as he falls backwards onto the floor.

Hémolyse holsters her gun and walks over to the dead pony's corpse and kneels down. Hémolyse closes the pony's eyes and says a prayer before standing up and walking out of the alleyway and continues onwards to the town square. Once she reaches the square she can see Octavia and Vinyl Scratch drinking soda's outside of a late night bar. Hémolyse taps her helmet to tell Victoria to end the music before she smiles and decides to leave them to their drinks. Hémolyse begins walking down the right road to where other Kansen sightings have been. Everywhere Hémolyse visited left dead and brutally defeated Kansen in her wake, all the way from J to B rank Kansen were dispatched during the night. It was reported that the painful screams and agonised yelling didn't stop till the sun began to rise in the distance.

Author's Note

I hope you all liked the governments point of view for a change as well as their movement to strike back at the Kansen. Things can only get heated from here on out.
