Power Ponies: The New Heroes

The next day, Celestia and Luna, in their civilian disguises, were at the city's train station, waiting for Cadence and Shining. Lone and Red were with them, the former holding Celestia's hand, and the same being true for Red and Luna.

Red smiled at Luna as he waited with the others, he kissed Luna's cheek.

"So, how do you think they'll react to everything, Tia," Lone asked his mare friend.

"Hopefully, they'll take it well, but I doubt it."

Red snickered "I'm willing to bet Twilight's gonna freak out completely."

"She isn't coming, Remember," Lone said. "It's just Cadence and Shining." After a second he added, "Probably, though."

"Exactly my point." he said chuckling.

A few minutes later, they heard the train arrive. Once it had stopped, the doors opened, and, Cadence and Shining walked out.

Cadence wore an elegant, sleeveless pink dress that went to her knees, and had royal purple highlights, her cutie mark evident on her shoulder.

Shining wore the guard vest his uncle had given him and jeans.

Red smiled, as did Luna and the others "Cadence~ Shining Armor!"

"Hey, auntie, Luna," Cadence said as she hugged Luna. Celestia and Luna had sent the two of them a letter that had a picture of their civilian disguises, so they knew what the two would look like. "Hey, auntie Celestia."

"Hello, Cadence," Celestia said, hugging her neice. "How are you?"

Cadence smiled "I'm doing fine, though perhaps we should talk elsewhere?" she suggested smiling.

"About what?" Lone asked.

"In other words stupid, c'mon let's get some food~" she said giggling as they walked off.

"Right," Lone said. As they walked away, Lone and Red looked at each other, concern hidden behind seriousness.

A few minutes later, the six of them were at a cafe near the train station. They took their seats, and got their menus.

Red smiled as they all sat down together.

"So, what's on your mind Cadence?" Luna asked.

"Well, you did hear about that murder, right? Of Fancy and the foalnapping of his wife, Fleur?" Cadence asked, concerned.

Damn it, how did it get out so quickly, to the Empire of all places? Lone thought to himself.

Red grips his menu a little tighter. "She wasn't....his wife..." He said, thinking back to it, because he knew Fleur was his sister, whom he had been searching for for ages.

Before Lone could stop it, Cadence asked, "What do you mean?"

"What he means is," Lone said, hoping to divert the coming storm, "is that she was feeling more like a friend then a wife to him, and was planning on divorcing him. Before you think she killed him, though, the four of us can attest that she was with us then. Right?" Celestia, Luna, and Red nodded.

"She was my sister..." Red said. "She was never his wife." he said softly.

"I didn't know she had a brother," Cadence said. "She never even mentioned having one."

Probably out of fear of retaliation by my father, Lone thought.

"So, Cadence, how are you and Shining," Luna said.

She smiled looking at her husband. "Can't complain. Everything at the empire's doing wonderfully." She said.

"Well, that's good," Lone said.

"So, Lone" Shining said. "What do you do for a living? Must be good if you got Celestia's eye."

Lone shrugged. "I just work at a research firm that works on new technologies. I can give you a tour of it. Red works there too." Fortunately, the nano-machines in the "research firm" were quite capable of changing the layout of the building, not even harming the residents. Really, they had a monthly exercise for it.

Red nodded "Aye. Lone works on making them, I work on Testing and breaking them in." He explained confirming it.

"Auntie, I didn't know you liked braniacs," Cadence said to Celestia.

Celestia giggled "Aw, what? You thought I'd be into strong, brutes? No, that's Luna's style." She said.

Luna glanced at Tia "Hey!" she said as she hugged Red's arm. "I like my strong pony thank you...and he can be smarter than he looks" She said blushing.

This got a laugh out of Lone, Red, and the others. "To be fair," Lone said, "Red's come up with some stuff too."

"Like what," Cadence asked.

"Well...I'd be happy to show ya, when we got done if you like" he said smiling.

"Definitely," Shining said.

Red smiled and kissed Luna "Then it's settled!"

The six ordered their food and drinks and, half an hour later after finishing off their food, paid for it and left, Red and Lone leading them towards their headquarters, which was in the process of being changed into a research firm building on the inside as we speak.

Red smiled walkin with Luna, as they lead the way, kissing her cheek.

Within an hour, the group of them reached the tower and entered, being greeted by Nightengale, wearing the stereotypical scientist outfit minus the glasses.

"Hey, guys," he said before noticing the royal couple and bowing. "Hello, your Majesties."

Red smiled "Hey Nightengale. We're gonna show the Royal guests here, some of the things I've made here." He explained.

"Right," Nightengale said, "I'll clear you guys for the archives. Oh, that reminds me: Project Dice is waiting to be tested."

Red smiled "Wonderful. Come along please, Project Dice, is actually the one I've been working on." he said as he went to walk along.

Red led them to the testing room for the project, a thirty minute journey. When they arrived and the door opened, the only thing in the room was a blade and it's sheath, and what looked like some kind of launcher on the far end.

Red smiled "I suggest you all stand back." he said. "Whilst I go to work." He explained as he stepped over to the sheathed blade, and began to unsheathe it, they could see that the blade's surface, seemed to be lined with Electricity! as though lightning itself was imbued into the blade, and was sparking along it's blade.

He got into a ready stance. Once he nodded to Lone he was ready, Lone flipped a nearby switch, and, shooting out of the other end of the wall, came a flurry of watermelons.

Red smiled "Watch and learn." He cooed softly to the ones watching, as he began to slash, and each watermelon he hit, was sliced clean in half! infact, the last one, he had sliced into half numerous times, so that there was enough pieces for their whole group. "Anypony want Watermelon for dessert?" he asked holding one for himself, and offering a slice to Luna.

"Thank you, Red," Luna said.

"I don't get it," Shining said. "What makes it different than a normal sword?"

Red and Lone looked at each other with smiles on their faces. "Test M-1?" Lone said, his hand hovering over a button.

"Fire away." He said. "I'll explain what makes it special when We finish this next test." He explained getting into a ready stance.

With that, Lone pressed the button, and missiles began to streak towards Red. Just as the first one was about to reach him, he sliced it in half, the missile not even exploding. He did the same for each of the other missiles before they were all in at least halves.

Cadence, Shining, Celestia, and Luna nodded their heads.

"WELL. What I've been doing, is trying to put this sword through something called a High Frequency treatment, that basically makes all the atoms that make up this blade, vibrate really really fast. hence why you see what appears to be electricity sparking along the blade. Now then, what it does is that it allows me to basically shunt apart the atoms of the target, say, this missile, or god forbid, one of you, apart, so that I can cut through them, like a hot knife through butter." he said, as he walked to one of the halves of the missiles, and sliced it apart again to demonstrate. "What I'm calling this officially, is a High Frequency Blade. To explain on a deeper level, it is a sword reinforced by a powerful alternating current and resonates at extremely high frequencies. This oscillation weakens the molecular bonds of anything it cuts, thereby increasing its cutting ability." He explained. "The only things this thing probably couldn't cut through, would be something that's reinforced to counter against it, such as another HF weapon."

"And it's sheath, which also gets the same treatment. We're even working on armor to protect beings from them," Lone said.

"That, project, though, isn't in the testing stages yet," Lone said. "But, what it's supposed to do is be a very able tracking system so police can find criminals that fled a scene, which would be all of them."

Red smiled "Basically...the one I'm working on is like an eye patch. has binocular vision, Night Vision, infared/thermal, and gives me data readout on anyone observed by it. to be a bit perverted if You'll forgive my saying this, I could use it to, for example, find out what size your and Luna's Breasts are Cadence. Or how big Celestia's rear is." He said, giving a playful chuckle, just mentioning what it could do. "Are we sure that my version isn't ready to test? I know your variation isn't..."

Lone rolled his eyes as the three mares blushed. "Yes, Red, I'm sure. And Rush says I'm impatient."

"Rush," Cadence asked.

"Co-worker and friend," Lone said.

Red smiled. "Well, that's just what I've been working on." he said.

"Yeah. Everyone who works here has made something, even if it isn't available to the public yet. Now, if I may ask, how long do you two plan on staying in town, because the top floors can offer housing."

Red nodded "Yes. Infact, Fleur stays here, and helps us out as well." He said. "She was never foalnapped. She just decided to move in here with us so that she could have a place to go to when she divorced from Fancy" He said.

"She's invented something?" Cadence asked.

"No," Lone said. "We're just giving her a place to live right now."

Red nodded "Yeah. My sis is pretty smart, so for all we know she may surprise us with something later down the road. But for now, she's staying here after I vouched for her to stay here." He said smiling.

"That was nice of you," Cadence said. "And we were able to clear our entire schedule this week, and Twilight and her friends are taking care of the stuff that's important stuff, so we should be able to stay for the entire week."

Red nodded "Very well. We are honored to have you both" He said. "If you'll follow me I can take you to the top floors which have the housing. we also have an entire floor dedicated to being a spa for us, and the other workers here."

"Why thank you, Red," Cadence said, and she, Red, Luna, and Shining left the room, leaving Lone and Celestia alone.

"This makes things a little difficult," Lone said once the door closed.

"Yes...but I trust Cadence. I'm sure it'll be fine..." Celestia said giving him a hug.

"Not that," Lone said. "We won't be able to guard them for an entire week. Who knows what the gangs might do. We both know they've gotten bolder in the past month, and that's just the reapers. Who know what other gangs are out there?"

"Lone, relax," Celestia said, walking up to him and giving him a light kiss on the lips. "I'm sure everything will work out," she said as she pulled out of the kiss but remained in Lone's embrace.

"I know, but it's a part of the job to worry."

"I didn't think scientists were paid to worry."

Lone laughed as he squeezed Celestia's ass. "Can't help it. Occupational hazard with my night job."

Tia squeaked, and she spanked him playfully

"So, he said, "want to head to our room?"

"Oh," she said in a slightly naughty tone. "What are we going to do?"

"What ever you want to," Lone replied, and the two made their way to the elevator, and, from their, their shared room.

Red smiled as he lead the Royal couple to a nearby room. "Here we are! And if you want the spa, it is at the moment, Floor Number Fifty" He explained.

"At the moment," Cadence asked.

"The main one's currently being remodeled, and that is the current one," Luna said.

Red nodded "I think Fleur suggested that we actually put in three total spas..one at floor twenty five, one at fifty, and one at seventy five didn't she?" He asked smiling or was twenty five or seventy five to be a workout gym?" he asked smiling at his beloved Luna.

"One at twenty five, and seventy five to be a gym."

"Thank you darling" he cooed kissing her. Well there you go. There's two spas, One at Fifty, and a Gym at Seventy Five. There is also a Spa on twenty five, but as that's the main one, it's likely being remodled now, so at current Fifty's the working one." He explained with a happy smile, and gave them his floor number, if they ever had any questions, they could find him and Luna up there, even Fleur.

Red smiled nodding as he and Luna rode it back up to his floor.

"That went better then I had feared," Luna said.

"Agreed my darling, but now the biggest part, is keeping Moony out of sight. Luxi might be able to have a pass, being in her normal earth pony form, but Nightmare is obvious." he said as he kissed her lovingly.

"Yes, but what I meant was them getting suspicious of you and the others."

"That too, but, this will be very hard to protect them during the week." He explained.

"Which is why I worry about that new group. 'The kings'."

"They'd be the worst threat here...considering that they'll likely try to get Shining into their ranks, as a possible spy in the empire, and Two, basically turn Cadence into a love slave."

"Can't we put the others on protection detail?"

"No, Afraid not...They headed back to their homes, remember, they made the excuse of 'Business Trip' to explain?" He said, explaining.

"Ah, yes. I had forgotten. It's a shame no one will be able to watch them."

It was then Grimlock came on over the intercom. "You two do realize you're forgetting someling, right?"

"Chrysalis, Cadence, and Shining Armor have a.....Complicated history." He said.

"She can disguise herself," Luna said.

Red smiled softly as he began to remove Luna's clothing to her panties and bra as he explained kissing her. "Darling, when they first met, Chrysalis had originally disguised herself AS Cadence, and had been feeding off of Shining Armor's love to empower herself." He explained.

"Who's to say she couldn't disguise herself as another," she said as she removed Red's shirt.

Red stretched, as they moved to bed "Probably because Shining Armor is a bit paranoid about Changelings now, to the point he's likely got a field around him to keep changelings from being disguised." He said.

"I suppose you are right, there," Luna said as they laid down on the bed and she removed her bra.

Red nodded "Exactly" he cooed, as he kissed her breast, moving to play with it too. Luna moaned at his touch, both of the kiss, and of his fondling as her large breast began to jiggle from his fondling. His hands were warm and soft to touch her body as he began to let them glide along her belly, toned, and near muscular, as it was rubbed, causing her bliss, as he moved to her waist, caressing her hips, kissing her neck the entire time. Soon she rolled over, kissing him ful on, and caressing his wings causing him to moan. She kisses at his wings, especially the joints, as he moves to grope her lovely plump hips, and rear end, stroking her thighs as his dick began to harden, as he got very aroused. He was making her tits be slightly squished into his chest, as she kissed at his wings, and he licks at her horn now, causing her to close her eyes, arch her bac and moan in pure bliss. He kisses it as well, as he began to lick at her own royal blue wings, kissing them, and even preening them with his teeth, as she did the same for his. Soon enough, both were ready, as She opens her legs, spreading them, and he thrusts into her entrance, claiming her virginity for himself, as he gave her his own.

"Oh Luna~" He cooed in bliss.

"Oh Red~" She cooed right back.

Red began to rock his hips in time as she began to do the same, as he thrusted into her, the couple finally making love together, something they had dreampt of doing for a while since they met. They continued to rock their hips in time with each other, moaning as they made love to each other, kissing as well, looking amoursly into each other's eyes. Before long they could feel that particularly blissful pleasure building up, until Red exploded in his climax, releasing a load of his love seed into her, to possibly be made pregnant with his foal, as she has her first orgasm, moaning in utter bliss and screaming in pleasure at the same time as he released, as he rode it out, they rolled over, as he pulled out, kissing her

"Oh Luna....that was wonderful~" he coos, breathless, and sweaty.

"Oh yes my love....it's something I have dreamt of for years, making love to my chosen mate....and you are that pony now and forever more~" she cooed kissing him again as they began to drift off to sleep, wrapped in each other's embrace.

Celestia kissed Lone as they entered their own room, as she began to remove her clothes, down to her golden colored bra and panties.

"You're smaller then most think, Tia," Lone said as he continued to kiss her.

As they moved towards the bed, Celestia broke the kiss, but didn't pull back, and said, "No bed, Lone. That's too boring." She removed his shirt, and began t okiss him with much more zeal. "And besides," she said, getting down on her knees and unzipped his pants. "Just how big are you?" As the last syllable left her mouth, she removed his pants and underwear, revealing his long, thick, cock.

"You like," he said.

"Very," Celestia whispered as she took his dick in her mouth, causing her lover to moan in pleasure. She started jerking her head back and forth slowly, each one causing a moan of pleasure from both, and slowly picked up speed.

"Ohhhhh, Tia," Lone said. "Faster."

Celestia didn't respond beyond quickening her pace, causing more moans from the both of them.

After a minute, Celestia pulled back, letting the cock he just sucked come out, her tongue hanging limp.

"You sure are a dirty mare, Tia," Lone said as his lover removed her bra, revealing her plump, but not too large, boobs.

"You haven't seen anything yet, Lone," she said as she placed his cock in between her breasts, and began to move back and forth.

After three minutes filled with moans of pleasure on both parts, Lone said, "I think it's time we get to the fun part."

"Agreed," Celestia said in a school filly like giggle as she stood up and slowly removed her panties and came into kiss her lover. Once she had fully stood up and removed her panties, she kicked them aside and moved to the bed and bent down over it, revealing her mare hood to her lover's erect dick. "come on, put it in me like the whore I am."

"Of course, princess," he said, which got a small laugh from the both of them from the irony of it. He walked over to her and, slowly, as if teasing her, and eventually entered her.

"Ahh," she cried out in pleasure. "Yes, give it to me," she said.

Lone began to move back and forth slowly. "Ah, yes," she said in pleasure. "Faster, Lone, faster." Lone quickened his pace, but not in the extreme.

"My, Celestia, I doubt anypony thought you were like this," Lone said.

"Lone, just shut up and RUT ME LIKE THE WHORE I AM!!" she yelled.

Lone merely grunted, his mind lost in ectasy and sped up, to the point each thrust made Celesta gasp.

"Oh *gasp* my word *gasp* Lone, if I had, ahh, known you were like this, mmmph, I would have had you, ah, buck me right in that ware house."

"Celestia," Lone said, reaching down to fondle her tits, "just shut up so we can enjoy this."

"Of course, master," Celestia said before she cried out as her first orgasm hit. "AHHHH, YES, RIGHT THERE!! "

"Celestia, I'm about to cum," Lone said as he instinctively picked up his pace even more.

"PUT IT RIGHT IN ME. I WANT YOUR CHILDREN LONE, AND I WANT THEM NOW!!"

Just as the last word left her mouth, both Lone and Celestia cried out in pleasure as his seed shot into her. They both fell to the floor, panting. "Thank you, Lone," Celestia said as she gasped in the last throes of pleasure.

"No problem, Tia," Lone said. "Though, what did you mean by 'master'?

"Easy," she said, smiling at him. "It means that next time, and each time after, I'm your bitch."

"Well, we'll have to wait," Lone said as he moved to cuddle Celestia on the floor.

THE NEXT DAY

Cadence and Shining were out in the city, with Chrysalis, unknown to the couple, following them in disguise. It seemed Shining was stupid enough to not have any changeling protection against changelings.

Red is working on Project Vision, whilst waiting for information on what Cadence and Shining Armor are doing.

Lone walked in, as he was the one that would be testing part of the project. "So, I hear Chrysalis is tailing Cadence and Shining. I didn't ask her to. You?"

"No...either she's tailing them on her own, or Lulu might have asked her.....either that or Grimlock did it." He said as he was working on it, hard at work.

"Well, either way, I'm not stopping her," Lone said. "So, how did your night go," he asked, though he and Celestia had head it on the way to their room.

"Really good...let's just say Luna Might be sitting out some missions..." he said, worried considering she could be pregnant.

"Same with Tia," Lone said, as he wasn't the bed bragging type of asshole.

"Well, seems like we both got lucky...can't wait to become an Uncle then to your kid." Red said laughing a bit as he worked hard on the project. He and Lone, though argued alot, they were close, like brothers, and if they ended up marrying their partners, Luna and Celestia, They would be brothers by law anyway, Red would have Celestia as his sister in law, and Lone as a brother in law by extension and Lone would have Luna and Red as the same relation.

"Yeah. Let's be glad the more, ahem, horny members of the rangers aren't here, then, huh?"

"Yeah. Though I think Moony's gonna be mad at me for playing with Luna first," he said snickering "but chances are, Chryssie got a nice feast off of both our escapades last night."

Lone shrugged. "Probably. Let's not tell Luna or Tia about that. They'll probably get pissed."

"They probably already know about Chryssie feeding off of the emotions....she does it all the time. besides, she hides out in the floor we're on so that she can constantly feed on us remember?" he said.

"Then it's good, for her, I mean, that you guys are a floor above us, huh?"

"Ultimately yes, considering she can feed right off of both of us from those floors down." He said.

As they continued to talk, Chrysalis, looking like a gray earth pony with a black mane and tali wearing a short sleeved green shirt and matching shorts, was continuing to tail the royal couple, and she could over hear their current conversation.

"Cadence," she heard Shining say, "I still don't see why you think Red and Lone are suspicious."

"They won the hearts of my aunts....and I don't know...they just seem to be hiding something....especially that one known as Red..." She explained.

"What do you mean," Shining asked.

"I don't know," his wife said. "I just have a feeling from him and Lone. Just think at how quickly he and auntie Luna stepped in those two times. You and Twilight always told me to trust my instincts."

"You're also kinda sounding like me after the wedding incident..." He mused with a small chuckle.

"You know I'm right, Shiny. I've seen the looks you gave Lone," Cadence said as she and Shining entered a rather large crowd.

He looks around. "I don't know what you're talking about." He said.

Chrysalis lost sight f them here, saying, "Damn crowd," in a near whisper before hearing something that sounded like fighting.

"GET AWAY FROM HER," she barely heard Shining scream through the sheer size of the crowd. It was here she decided to just not give a shit as to the public's thought of her and dropped her disguise, flying into the air as she did so.

"CHANGELING," she heard from below, and she saw the royal couple, surrounded by ponies, all stallions in tight, bulky sports related outfits, one holding Cadence, turn to her, which earned Shining a punch to the back of the head. Before he could fall, he was caught by a unicorn stallion and the group of ten stallions rushed off, Chrysalis in pursuit.

She quickly gets out her radio. "Red, Lone, we have a problem." She explained.

At the base

"Darn it." Red called "I knew this was gonna happen. We've gotta go save them NOW, before the gang that got them can try anything." He said to Lone.

Lone nodded. "Right, Grimlock, if Celestia or Luna ask where we are, tell them we're getting them something special, and get Luxi and Nightmare. Now!" Lone said as the two rushed out of the room and morphed, with Lone teleporting them to the streets with an invisibility spell active.

Red headed on, as though he was invisible, Lone could see him. He wore a metallic blue suit, with armor along the lower legs, and the lower arms, and chest, with horns like ears along the helmet. infact, His outfit was similar to that of Rush's suit, in that his had a stylized 100 on the chest's armor, And he had what looked like siren lights on the sides of the helmet. he had a sword in a holster on his hip ready to use shortly.

"Appropriate," Lone commented as the two reached where Chrysalis was, in a back alley, and she hadn't morphed.

"I lost them right around here," she said.

"Then we need to pick up the trail." said Red, as he began to scan the area, and look around for clues.

"Question is, though," Lone said as he crouched on the ground next to Chrysalis, "how?"

"This is what Project Vision was meant to do." He said as he looks around "Hmm...where....where could they have gone." He said as he looked, kneeling down to inspect the area.

"Uh, guys," Slag said over the comms, "our stealth drones just got a sighting on a group of ten stallions carrying to bags big enough for ponies on fifty second, and I have them tracking them."

"Damn, they're fast," Chrysalis said. The trail puts them here just five minutes ago, and that's ten minutes away.

"Just got a second group with that same makeup. Look's like they know you're hunting them, Grimlock said. "Should we have Swoop send out dome mini drones to identify which one actually has them?"

"Yes. Use Heat sensors to be able to scan inside the bags they are carrying." Red explained, as he moved to go and follow them now himself.

"Right, and Nightmare and Mane-iac are en route to you guys now, and drones are out. Picking up three more groups."

"Decoys...Clever boys....it'd be best if we split up to follow them..." He explained, as he moved to sync up with the drone's readings, as they waited for Nightmare and Maneiac.

"Agreed," Lone said. "Slag, tell Nightmare and Mane-iac that they're going after one of the decoy groups."

"You're counting to little...that's five groups total..." Red corrected. "I'd hate to spread us this thin but we may each have to investigate one group." He said.

"We've all had enough training for this, Red," Lone said. "Now come on, we need to find which one's got Cadence and Shining."

"I know." He said as he ran off to investigate one of the groups.

Lone and Chrysalis did the same, with the former disguising her self as a pegasus version of her last disguise so she could fly with out suspicion.

'To all of you. Be careful in your mission to investigate the groups looking for Cadence and Shining Armor. if you find them, report. if you don't find them report and break away to help the others.' Red told them as an order.

"Right," they all said. Ten minutes later, running along the rooftops with the aid of his magic, Lone was the first to find one of the groups. "Swoop?"

"Two heat signatures in the bags, along with heart beats. Even if it isn't Cadence and Shining Armor, they got live captives."

"Then to tartarus with Red's order, he'd do the same," Lone said as he jumped off the building, using his magic to slow his fall and land directly in front of the group. "Hello, idiots," he said as he delivered a roundhouse kick to the lead one.

They began to attack him, as the bags were trying to be moved passed him.

As one came to tackle him, Lone just bent forward, caught the stallion in the waist, and used his momentum to fling said attacker into a nearby buuildng, up side down. He dodged a punch thrown by the third, and caught the arm, and brought it down over his shoulder, a loud snap being heard as the arm broke. Lone then elbowed the stallion in the face, knocking him out. He let him drop to the ground, and turned to face the other seven, who had hints of fear on their face.

"Who's next?"

The ones with the bags moved to try and escape.

Lone held his hands out, and his staff was made. He threw it with one hand, causing it to spin and break apart, being held together by a rope. It hit the legs of the two stallions, tying their legs together and causing them to fall to the ground face first and drop the bags, which Lone caught in his magic and lowered to the ground.

The bags moved pleading for him to let them out.

"Don't worry," he said. "Just need to take care of these last five," he said as he grabbed the sword hilt on his belt and drew it, the nano-machines creating the blade. When it was fully out, he flourished it to make sure it was aerodynamic enough, and pointed it at the last five. "If you value your lives," he said, "run, and leave the bags and whoever's in them."

They all fled, as none of them truly wanted to die.

"Smart move," he said as he sheathed the sword, the nano-machines disassembling the blade. He then went over to where the bags were, and untied the tops.

Out of one came a unicorn stallion, his skin a dark red, his mane and tail the same color streaked with blue. He wore a white shirt and jeans, his cutie mark hidden by his sleeves.

From the second one came a pegasus mare with coral(shade of orange) colored skin and a cyan mane and tail. She wore a sleeveless work out shirt, her cutie mark looking like a raincloud, and work out pants.

"You two okay?" Lone asked.

Straight Arrow, the stallion nodded "Yeah, we're fine. Thanks for helping us sir, whomever you are." He said happily.

"It's just my job," Lone replied. He looked at the pegasus. "And what about you, Ma'am?"

Flawless Aura, the Pegasus nodded "Yeah, Thanks alot." She said.

"No problem," Lone said before activating his communicator. "Swoop, let the others know what happened, and I'l be escorting these two home."

"You got it!" He said as he radio'd the others, and Red encounters his own group, which he moves to attack, by grabbing the leader, tossing him into the air and catching him, breaking his side over his shoulders, before tossing him up and giving him a backbreaker over his knee, and tossing him aside, now that he was down. "I suggest you leave the bags. if you don't want to die." He said drawing his sword which seemed to burn with a shadowy flame, before the styled dog head opened up as the blade shined as though it was new.

Intelligently, the remaining nine fled for their lives, leaving the two bags on the ground. "Heart beats detected," Swoop said.

Red approaches, and gently begins to unzip them to open them up.

Red is horrified by what he finds...a Thestral girl, young, infact, her mane in taters, as are her clothes, which looks like she was taken right from the streets....and another one, who reminds him of his dear love, Luna, in terms of being royal blue, with a purple mane, and light blue eyes, she was a pegasus, and she wore a dark green shirt and shorts. She wore a necklace with stars on them.

"Who are you both?"

"I'm...chestnut sir..." said the batpony.

"I'm Starry Night...' Said the little pegasus.

"I'll help you both..." he said as he scooped them out. "Do you have any parents?" he asked.

"No," they both said.

"Those stallions just picked us off the street while we were looking in the dumpsters for food to eat," Rose said

"Not any more you will." he said to Star, as he held them both, before he radioed in. "Swoop? Tell the others I'm heading back to base...with two little girls..." he said, as he looked to them. "Would you like to be adopted by me?" he asked as he began to rush back.

"Not at all, Red," the AI said just as Chrysalis got to her group.

Red smiled behind the helmet as he carried the girls to base "Well? Would you like it if I adopted you two?" He asked them smiling.

"Yeah," they both said nervously.

Red smiled, as he runs back home. "Thanks..." he cooed smiling behind the helmet. "I'll introduce myself when we get home then." He said.

Chrysalis attacks, tripping them up with a whip she manifests, as she moves to get the bags.

"I'd ask for your surrender," she said, "but it's been to long since I've had fun. Don't worry, I won't kill you," she said with a grin, but these stallions were either crazier, stupider, or braver, as they didn't run away, but towards her.

Infact, they began to charge her, running to attack Chrysalis, and possibly to capture her.

She simply used her whip to grab the ankles of one and flip him, then slam him into one of his allies.

They are knocked down like bowling pins as they continue to attack her.

Chrysalis began to walk over to the bags, only for Swoop to say, "No heartbeat, Chrysalis. Nothing indicating any thing living is in there."

She leaves, to go help Nightmare or Maneiac with their own fight.

Just as she left, Nightmare caught her own group, and she wore her old outfit, the one she had met Red and Lone in.

They are trembling in fear at her very presence.

"You all truly are cowards," she said. "Tell me which gang you work for, and I might let you live."

"The kings ya black bitch!" One said getting a pair of balls.

He then took balls of magic to the face. "Incompetent oaf. Does he not know who he faces," Nightmare said with a cocky grin as the one she hit was on the ground.

"And who might that be," another stallion said.

She began to laugh darkly as lightning began to strike around them, zapping a few of them, as she began to walk to the bags, the one she hit first, she stomped on his dick. "YOU FACE NIGHTMARE MOON!"

"I have two heart beats," Swoop said as Nightmare opened the bags and two mares fell out. One had white skin like Celestia's, but had an electric blue mane and wore a business suit and pants. The second had gray skin with a mane and tail similar to Luna's when she had first been freed from Nightmare, and wore a similarly colored short sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans.

The two sisters looked up in awe at Nightmare "Did...did you save us?"

"Indeed I did," Nightmare said. "What are your names?"

"I'm Joy" One said. "And I'm Light" the other said.

"What happened to you two?"

"Well," Joy said, "I was at Light's place, we're sisters, getting ready for work, when those stallions broke in and stuffed us in those bags about ten minutes ago, and, well, you know the rest. Why'd you save us, anyway?"

"Yeah," Light said. "Aren't you supposed to be evil or something?"

"I was once...not any more since I met the stallion who stole my heart" She said simply smiling.

"Well, thanks anyway," Joy said as she and Light stood up. "See you later, hopefully," she added as the two walked off.

Mane-iac caught up with her group last.

They have the largest group, and their bags are struggling most.

"Step aside, mare," the leader said, "and we'll let you live!"

Maneiac began to laugh as she struck him with her tendrils. "Oh please. put down the bags and I'll let YOU live." She said.

"You're bluffing," the stallion said. "Mare's couldn't hurt a fly. It's why Equestria is so weak, because it has pathetic princesses!"

"I suggest you take that back," Lone said as he came out of an alley, his staff across his shoulder. "After all, it's under them we're here to kick your plots."

Meanwhile at the base, Red arrived and had powered down revealing himself to his new adopted daughters smiling as he took them inside when the elevator opens up and two ponies walk out...ONE is Fleur de lis, tied up and gagged.

"MMMMP! MMMPHHH!!" she yelled as the stallion holding her grabbed her hair and pulled.

"Shut it!" he growled.

"How'd you get in here!? Let my sister go!" He demanded getting ready to fight as he had Chestnut and Star move aside to hide for the moment.

"No chance," the stallion said as he brought a knife to Fluers throat. "Let me pass or she dies."

"YOU. SHALL NOT....PASS!!!" he shouted as he booted the stallion back into the elevator with a spartan styled kick, letting Fleur free, as he caused the stallion to dent the back of the Elevator, before he jumped right in, charging up and getting right to attacking. He pummeled the stallion, as he tossed him around the elevator walls, denting the side walls, even smashing him against the wall with the window breaking it with his face, soon they reached the top floor and Red tossed him back out, before he grabbed his neck and held him against a wall. "NOW. How did you get in here?"

"Heh, what makes you think I'll tell you?"

"Because if you don't, I'll shove your dick into the elevator, and send it on the express trip down to the basement." he said as he knees him in the crotch for emphasis.

"Even if I told you," the stallion said in pain, "I'm dead. The Kings'll kill me when they find out I betrayed them."

"Look," Red said as he pressed the stallion against a nearby window pane, making a spider web of cracks appear. "Do you really want to know what happens when you hit the ground at high speeds. I wonder if you'll hear your body break when you hit before you die."

"You're dead either way. So why not spill the beans boy. Then you'll die with no regrets whether you're dead before you hit the ground, or if you die after doing so." Red said darkly.

"Okay, okay, just. . . let me live. I have a family in Ponyville that needs the money I get from this. I swear I'll stop and get a real job," he said in a panic. "You want to know how I got in?" Red nodded. "One of my higher-ups, I have no idea as to who, somehow got a way into this place yesterday with out the residents knowing, and told me to come after Fleur. It's nothing personal, I swear!"

"Hmmm..." Red said listening. "Thanks for telling.....so you do have a family? Then get the hell out of here and go back to them...and don't you dare come back here, or treat them like dirt like the kings gang do...if you show back up here and try to hurt my family I'll kick your ass to the moon and back. Got it?"

"Thank you, thank you, I won't come back, I swear," the stallion said as he, amazingly enough, jumped out the window and spread his wings, flying off in the direction of Ponyville.

He was suspicious, but chose to let him go, as he went back down and ungagged, and untied his sister. "Fleur, you okay?" he asked as he hugged her.

"Yes, just a little shaken," she said. "How'd he get in?"

"That's what I'm gonna find out." He said "Swoop, give me camera footage from the past few hours, I wanna know how that stallion got in here to take Fleur." He said, before he went to Chestnut and Starry Night to introduce them to his sister, Fleur.

Meanwhile with Lone and the others.

This group of Kings was the toughest, and even with Chrysalis and Nightmare, the four of them were having trouble. "Why do you let them lead you," the leader of the group asked Lone, still in his ranger outfit. "Stallions should be the ones in charge!"

"Because whilst some of us Stallions are good at being smart, the mares are smarter than most of us." Lone said countering the attacks.

"Maybe you should get a wife."

"TRAITOR!" a voice from the bag called out, muffled, but was Cadence!

"Hold on, your highness, we'll get you and your husband out of the bags!" Lone yelled as he charged the leader.

"HE IS MY HUSBAND. HE SET IT UP!!!"

"What," Lone said, stopping just feet away.

"You damn bitch you don't know when to SHUT UP do ya!?" he shouted at the bag, as he removed his disguise, revealing himself, as Shining Armor.

"Lone, it's Red!" Red said over the comms. "You wouldn't believe what I just found out! Shining's-"

"A king, I know. I'm about to kill him," Lone said. "Who's in the other bag, Shining?!" He said, getting his staff in a combat position.

"Save some for me. He tried to take my sister. I'm already on my way over." Red said on the comms as he's rushing along.

"Pfft, why should I tell you? Who would bow to a Woman?" he asks smirking.

"Some one who knows when to do said bowing," Lone said, dropping his staff and cracking his knuckles and neck, "and not be a jackass."

Shining nodded with his neck, as another King member stepped up with him and they prepared to fight, as Red arrived on the scene.

"Red, before you go rushing in," Lone whispered over comms, "I used my HUD's enhanced mode, and picked up traces of mental magic on Shining. He's being controlled, or his personality was changed. We can't kill him."

"yeah yeah, I gotcha" Red said, as he cracked his knuckles, getting into a dueling stance.

"I got Shining," Lone said. "You can handle the other one. Swoop, how about some music?"

"On it, Lone."

Red and Lone rushed at the two stallions. When Lone came close to Shining, he launched off the ground as Shining threw a punch and flipped in the air, doing a twist as well. He landed on the ground, and continued the spin to the ground, resulting in Shining losing his balance as his legs were kicked out from behind him. He countered though by landing on his palms and hopping back up.

"Impressive," he said, turning to face Lone, both getting into a fighting pose. "But not good enough," he said as he and Lone both threw a punch. Lone was able to move his head to where Shining's punch grazed the helmet, while Shining took a faceful of fist and was knocked back. He landed on his back and skid for a few feet before getting back up.

"You sure about that," Lone said as he went for Shining again, both of them landing punches this time, but Lone's suit gave him more endurance than Shining, and he eventually finished the melee with a roundhouse kick, but Shining was able to right himself in the air before landing, and fired off streams of magic at Lone, who either used his own shield spells or simple agility to avoid getting hit.

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!" Shining screamed as he fired a particularly large bema of magic at Lone. The beam hit where Lone's feet were, and a cloud of dust was kicked up. "Heh, try surviving that!"

"With Pleasure," Lone said, materializing from the shadows behind Shining. Before the white unicorn could turn, Lone delivered a judo chop to his neck, knocking him out. "I thought the last captain of the guard would be a challenge."

The entire time Lone was fighting Shining Armor, Red was fighting Onyx, clearly enjoying his own fight, as he sent blow after blow to the robed stallion. Onyx was definitely well built, seeming to be as tough as stone, as he was able to dish out hard hits against the one known as Red as he fights just as hard as Lone did, fighting back, as they seemed to be evenly matched, even using their swords, dueling evenly, blade versus blade.

"You're good..." Onyx growled, as he pushed him back with a kick.

"Say goodnight." He growled, as he dashed forward, slashing down as Red dodged by slipping below him, with a slide, before he performed a vorpal strike, by dashing in and thrusting at him, but barely missing. Onyx caught the blade, and not only knocked it away but slashed Red, causing sparks to fly out from his armor, as he was pushed back.

Onyx dashes in and thrusts his blade, but misses as Red disappears in a shadow, before striking him from the head with a Lunarsault having appeared above him, landing nearby behind him, the strike did damage, but still wasn't enough to kill him, before Red dashed back a few feat and sets up for his final strike. "Blade of the Emperor Dragon." He said softly, as he got into a stance, charging up the power in his sword.

He waited as Onyx charged forward and went to attack before Red launched his counter attack, and used the technique, performing rapid slashes, so fast, that Lone and the others would claim they saw afterimages of Red attacking him all at once, mutiplying the hits of the attack by an unknown amount, before he was launched into the air, and Red dashed after him, performing numerous air dashes striking him as he seemed to float in the center due to the rapid attacks, before Red came up behind him, and went flying up, using the wings of his natural form to fly them higher, and higher, until he dropped them both, beginning to spin as he went right down "IZUNA DROP!" He shouted as he piledrived Onyx into the ground causing a nice little crater in the ground, with Red launching himself off, and landing nearby on his feet skidding to a stop, giving them a place to bury the now dead Onyx.

The other members of the group fled dropping the bags, as they were opened by Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon, revealing Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle respectively!

"You've got to be kidding me," Lone said. "I know he was being controlled or something, but his own sister! What the buck!?"

"They're still alive, but unconscious, most likely oxygen related," Slag said. "Prepping three medical beds back at the tower."

"On it," Lone and Chrysalis said, picking up Twilight and Shining respectively. "Grimlock, see if you can find Twilight's friends," Lone said.

"You got it." He said as he was already working.

"Night Shade, help him out." Red ordered leading the group as Shining was kept restrained by Chrysalis as she carried him.

"On it. Swoop and Slag are helping too," she said. "Wow. Did not expect that."

"Hehehahaha. I'd imagine you shouldn't get used to it." He said laughing as he continued along carrying Cadence.

"No, who we found."

"What do you mean Shade?" Red asked.

"Matterhorn," was all she said.

"I'll get a message to her," Night Shade said. "Wish me luck," she said as the group reached the tower.

"Tell her that it's the base of the New power Ponies, she'll know by then who we're referring to I'm sure...please try not to get into a fight with her."

"On it," Night Shade said.

Red, Lone, and Chrysalis, each carrying their respective charges, made their way to the medical area on the ground floor.

Red gently tucks Cadence into one of the beds.

Lone and Chrysalis did the same for Twilight and Shining, respectively, with Lone and Chrysalis putting double restraint spells on Shining to make sure he doesn't harm anyone, and the three sat down and waited for Twilight's friends to arrive.
