"Fall in!"

Chris issues the command as all the Royal Guards for the days shift get into formation, he looks them over and says at ease in a relaxing tone.
The guards though didn't go at ease, they were all still rigid at attention, "Hey... I said at ease meaning you all can relax?"

He looks at them as one by one they ease up and start to loosen their rigid structures, "Jeez whats wrong with you guys? Have you been doing this whole rigid strict bullshit for years?" he asks them as the Captain stands at attention to speak,

"They have been trained since the academy to be disciplined and professional my lord!"

Chris looks at the pony captain oddly, "Lord? Hey I don't run like that. When i'm around you all can be relaxed, i'm here for you all. My job as commander is to take care of you, my guards. I know it sounds odd but where I come from, the commander takes care of the troops."

The guards all whisper to each other as one of the ponies spoke out, "You don't run at all sir."

Chris rolls his eyes, "Its a figure of speech, jesus I need to teach you guys about phrases and such."

0700 Celestias Bed Chamber doors

Chris straightens out his robes, smoothing it down and making himself inspection ready in case the Princess wanted to check the appearance of her new personal advisor and bodyguard. He never really expected to be put in such a position of high importance and honor, let alone be in command of the Royal Guards. In all fairness, he wishes he can get a good drink right now.

The doors open by magic as Princess Celestia exits her bedroom, Chris bows low, bending to one knee as Celestia acknowledges him,

"Rise Commander Chris, how was your day so far?" she inquires, meaning the guardmount with the newly formed Royal Security Ponies.

"Everything went smoothly princess, I trust your night went well?" he asks, being polite and asking about the Princess rest.

She smiles and chuckles softly, "It went very well thank you, I appreciate you asking about my well being."

He smiles as another door opens, he looks over to see the dark blue mare exiting her room, her head down and somewhat gloomy.

"Princess Luna! Please join us!" Chris calls out to her, trying to keep her occupied and not let the negative emotions plague her.

Luna looks up to see Chris, her eyes settling on a crescent moon necklace.

'He really does care about me...' Luna thinks to herself as her mood brightened greatly,

"Yes! I shall join you and my older sisters company!" She trotted over to them as Chris bows low, showing greater respect to Luna, which Celestia noticed and asked Chris through his thoughts.

'I see you give special attention to my younger sister, do you harbor romantic feelings for her?' she smiles down at Chris as the three of them walked to the dining hall.

He responds to her through his thoughts, 'My feelings for her are as a friend, I don't know what my emotions are towards her but all I know is that she is under appreciated and I want her to know that her skills, her royal duties are greatly valued. My first advice to you, take notice of your sisters behavior, give her some love and attention. For you are lacking those things and as such it will come back to haunt you for the rest of your life.'

Celestia was shocked at his response, what could he mean by this? Surely she has done her role as a sister exceptionally and given her younger sister the love she needs. What if Chris knows more about the oncoming events than she could?

"Oh tell me more about your world Chris." Luna asks as Chris explains the wonders and scientific advances the human race has made throughout its history.

"You will not believe how far we could go Luna! We invented modern medicine, able to cure even the most common sickness, we had the top scientific minds to create rockets, tall metal projectiles that uses great force, shaking the earth and creating tremendous noise that breaks free of Earths gravity and propelling to space. We were able to do missions, landings on the moon itself!"

Luna laughs as she heard such wonderful things, she couldn't believe that the humans in Chris' world is so interested in the sky that they would plan, create and execute the means to land man on the moon. It greatly excited her, and Chris saw it too, when Luna showed signs of happiness he was happy.

"Tell me more Chris! What else about your world? What more of the evening life?" Luna presses on with more questions as Celestia was worried but yet relaxed as Chris told her through his thoughts that he can handle it, he loved to answer Lunas questions.

He explains of the cities, the night life and how people would go out and enjoy the night sky and the moon, most would sleep but many would appreciate the wondrous qualities that the night had to offer. These words encouraged Luna as her eyes beamed with excitement and pride.

"You would love it Princess Luna." He says as they reach the doors to the dining hall,

"Yes, I would... if only the ponies here can share the same feelings like they do my sister." She says sadly as Chris wasn't going to have any of that,

"Oh no, forget about the ponies and your sister, its all about you. I know they appreciate you, they love you just as much as your sister. I promise you that... can you be happy and think about the bright days ahead? Please?" He asks her gently, touching her face and wiping a tear from her eye as the royal cook gasps at seeing such display.

Usually touching a royal princess pony is a crime if it wasn't allowed, but seeing Luna not say anything was even more of a shock itself.
Celestia walks forward and nuzzles her sister and comforts her, "Whatever it is that i'm doing that displeases you little sister, I will work hard to stop and make you happy. You know that I love you don't you?"

Luna looks up to her older sister and nuzzles in return, "I do big sister, and I love you as well."

The human holds out the seats for both Princesses as he looks to the cook, "Hey lets get the food out, the Royal pony sisters are hungry!"

1300 Blacksmith

"So how does this.... 'weapon' operate?" the royal blacksmith asks as Chris raises his M4, racks a round then puts it on semi and aims it at a porcelain vase, a cheap one that was easily ready to be discarded.

"Cover your ears and you will find out." Chris warns as he motions for hearing protection, some of the ponies that gathered around were curious as to whats going on since the two royal sisters were present at the blacksmiths shop.

Chris applies his marksman fundamentals as he takes a deep breath then exhales slowly, allowing the red dot on his M68 to rest on the target, applying pressure slowly through his index finger. The result ended in a loud bang, the porcelain vase exploding into large fragments as most ponies and the blacksmith cry out in surprise along with fear. Celestia and Luna gasp at such power that a metal stick could contain, as Chris puts it on safe and clears out his weapon he sees the blacksmith cowering underneath a table.

"Oh for gods sake man, your in the presence of the Princesses, show some decency." Chris jokingly reprimands the scared iron worker as he pulls him out from under the table.

"Uhhh i mean yes, my apologies... princess, I... I wasn't prepared for this." he apologizes.

"Neither were we blacksmith. Tell me Chris, do all humans possess such weapons?" Celestia asks.

Chris nods to confirm it, "Yes we have these weapons of many different designs, functionality and names. There is one though that is too terrible to mention. It is a great detterant to keeping other people from attacking but it comes with a cost. Humanity has used this weapon only twice."

Luna shakes her head, "How do you all manage to live peacefully?"

Chris shrugs his shoulders, "I honestly don't know, people die from these things every day."

Before both princesses could speak, Chris interrupted them because he knew what they were going to say, "So! Who has questions about these? Or whatever ideas I have in the making?"

Nopony raises their hoof, "No? Alright then, if you don't ask your fault if you get told to do something you aren't capable of doing." Chris warns as he looks to the blacksmith.

"I need you to put together a team of your best iron ponys, I got a project for you all to work on, and I will be there to work with you every step of the way." He orders as the blacksmith bows low.

"As you command Sir Chris." he acknowledges and accepts.

Chris turns to bow to Princess Celestia, "With your permission ma'am, I need a good amount of your magical abilities."

Celestia eyes him suspiciously, "For what purpose might i ask?"

He uses his thoughts to communicate, 'For that night that I never want to see.'

Celestia nods, "I trust you on this human."

Chris holds out a special container as Celestia aims her horn and fires her magical energy beam into the container. The space filling quickly Chris notifies Celestia as she stops, he quickly closes the lid and sets it down on a table within arms reach.

"Thank you Princess, I need some time alone with the blacksmiths as I will be directing them on this project." he requests as Celestia nods.

"You may proceed." She says as Chris gets on one knee and prostrates himself before her.

Celestia and Luna turn to leave as Chris instructs the blacksmith on what he wants as the blacksmith in return orders the iron ponies on what their lord requests of them.

Chris rolls out a blueprint for a special project he created called, 'Project Eclipse'
The armor design looked like a mix of his favorite anime gundam wing, the wings from endless waltz spread widely with the thrusters added to several parts of the wing, his armor and helmet being a cross of medieval with modern military as his helmet was a closed faced dome protector with a T-Visor design.

His left arm is equipped with a shield which can also hold two beam sabers that can be used against powerful magical energy beams, to deflect but not to harm. His primary weapon consists of a large beam buster rifle, the reason why he asked princess celestia of her magic, that way the design and operation of the rifle can be used repeatedly without ever running empty, it will constantly recharge itself.

Chris knew this would be useless if that night ever came to pass, if he had to face Nightmare moon his armor would be useless.

"Get me Star Swirl the bearded and tell him its urgent, if he isn't coming i'm going to drag his lazy ass out myself." Chris demands as the messenger pony nods with fear and quickly gallops to Star Swirls home.

After about 15 minutes, Star Swirl appears before Chris, bowing in respect due to being the Princesses advisor and bodygaurd.

"You summoned me?" Star Swirl asks, Chris sighs as he takes the opportunity to make light of the whole medieval jargon.

"No someone else did, I didn't need you." he says sarcastically, and as expected Star Swirl didn't catch on.

"Well who inquired my assistance?" he wonders as Chris facepalms himself,

"Fucking hell I did, yes I need your help. I need you to put a powerful protection spell on my armor and weapons so that whenever something bad happens I will have the fighting capabilities to defend myself and the princesses." Chris explains as Star Swirl nods.

"I see, I will do what I can." Star Swirl says as he uses his horn to pull out his book and flips through the pages to find the right spells for the protection charms. He stops at a few pages and marks them, he holds the book out to Chris as he looks it over.

"I'll be honest with you, I have no idea what the spells say." Chris says bluntly as Star Swirl sighs.

"If you need me again when the armor is complete I will be back." The bearded unicorn says as he turns and walks back to his house.

Chris turns to the blacksmith and writes down a few more notes, "I expect this to be done by a week. I don't care what ever happens, I want no bullshit excuses just make it happen."

The blacksmith was about to ask a question but was quickly cut off, "Did you hear me? I said no excuses I want this done soon, this is really really important that this gets done. Got it?"

The pony nods as Chris slicks his hair back as it was getting out of place. He turns and walks back to the castle to resume his duties to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna as their personal advisor and guard.

1830 The Royal Throne room

Chris never knew how boring court life can be, here he was standing for hours as ponies from across Equestria came in to have disputes settled, treaties signed or just dumb bullshit that didn't need to be brought up in the first place.

'For fucks sake these ponies are worse than base populace at the gates during a busy day.' he thinks to himself.

He knew Celestia heard him by the way her eyes looked towards him but he could give zero fucks. This shit is the worse, he would rather be manning an overwatch than do this.

"Thank you for your time." Celestia finishes the last ponies appearance as Chris sighs.

"Is something the matter?" She asks even though she perfectly knew what Chris was thinking.

"I don't understand how you don't flip out at these ponies stupid problems, if I was in your spot half of these would be kicked out and punished for wasting my time with such petty arguments that could easily be solved. How do you do it?" He added the last part sarcastically as Celestia giggles.

"Years and years of practice while doing your royal duty." She explains.

Chris smiles as he shakes his head, "I envy your patience because I don't have any."

He turns his head to look at Luna as she looks at Chris, their eyes meet and he smiles warmly at her as she smiles back. That is all that matters to him right now, the young princess happiness.

"So I have an idea that i'm proposing but..." he looks to luna, "I'm sorry but Luna I need to talk to Celestia alone, its for a good reason would you give us a bit of time alone?" he asks her politely as Luna looks at him and sighs. She sadly walks down the stairs as she exits the throne room, but her curiosity getting the better of her she stays near the door and listens.

"Every day there is a celebration in honor of you... but what of your sister? She never has any events thats made to appreciate her for doing her job?" Chris explains to Celestia as she sits and listens to what her advisor has to say.

"We need to show Luna that the ponies of Equestria love their night princess as well as you. So what i'm suggesting is that we throw Luna a Lunar Festival in her honor." Chris says excitingly as the Sun Princess smiles greatly,

"It sounds marvelous! I accept this idea as I too also care for my younger sister, tomorrow we shall begin the arrangements and planning. You will be in charge of the celebration, I expect this to be the best celebration that my dear Luna has ever taken part of. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Celestia finishes using her royal canterlot voice, the sound enough didn't scare the young airman as he was so happy and excited that he was going to give Luna the best time of her life.

"Yes Princess!" He says as he takes a knee and bows his head low.

Lunas eyes widened as she watched what happened before her, she was overwhelmed with emotions as she turned and galloped towards her room. She uses her horn to open the doors and quickly close them as she paces back and forth, a million thoughts running through her head,

'An event just for me?'
'No Celestia and her sun, only Luna and the moon
'Ponies actually loving me?'
'The human planning this all for me?'

Luna walks out to the balcony, full pride and energy as she looks to the clock and sees it is eight at night, the sun is setting and so the moon must rise. She holds out her chest and uses her magic as the moon starts to rise from the horizon, as she does so she hears her doors opening to see Chris approaching her,

"I hope im not too late. I don't want to miss my favorite event of the day." He smiles as he stands next to her as she returns the smile,

"No Chris, you are on time and always welcome to share this moment with me." She says as he puts an arm around her and watches her raise the nightly celestial body high into the sky.
