The Mighty Lu Bu
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe night guard is the complete opposite of the day guard. Though both served the princesses, the night guard was actually more prone into killing since being a warrior of past and that is still in their blood. They rarely let other ponies into their ranks for their training would kill a pony even those who had gone through the day guard training. Which brings us to Luna talking to her captain in her captain in charge of all the night guard.
Luna stood there staring at her captain who simply stared at her with an 'Are you serious look'.
"You want an earth pony who has not even gone through training to join the night guard?" The captain asked while Luna just stared at him.
"Speak you mind Captain Night Scar."
The pony standing in front of Luna share the same characteristics as all other night guards. The difference, however, was the that he had three scars going across his face.
"I think this is a stupid decision, your majesty. I don't think this pony....."
"Lu Bu." Luna interrupted.
"......Lu Bu should be made a night guard."
Luna opened her mouth but was cut off by somepony yelling. "I do not take orders!"
Night Scar stared at the door with an eyebrow raised before turning to back to Luna who sighed. "Let me introduce you."
The two walked out the door only to duck as a Royal Guard flew over their heads where he smashed into the wall and fell to the ground knocked out. The two slowly looked to see Lu Bu standing in the middle of Guards who had their weapons pointed at him. Plus there were about twenty guards laying across the ground knocked out.
Night Scar once again turned to look at Luna but was cut off. "After the party, me, and my sister spoke with Lu Bu. It was....difficult but we were able to get him to stay for a little....if he was allowed to fight." Night Scar turned back to the massacre...spar just in time to see Lu Bu send five guards flying with a single swing of his weapon.
"Is this all you weaklings have!?" Lu Bu shouted as he twirled his weapon before slamming the pommel into the ground.
The guards all grew confidence and proceeded to rush at him. Lu Bu simply swung his halberd down knocking a guard away before turning his halberd and slammed its pommel into a guards chest then swung upwards knocking all the guards away from him. (1:05 to 1:12)
"Are there no others!?" Lu Bu shouted, but all he received back were the groans of the guards which caused him to scoff as he twirled his halberd around before bringing it to his side.
Night Scar still didn't seem impressed while Luna just sigh at what her sister was going to say to her for this. "So you are Lu Bu?" Night Scar asked causing the said pony to turn towards him.
"I am. Though who are you?" Lu Bu asked as he narrowed his eyes at the bat pony who was walking over towards him. Night Scar stopped a few feet away letting the two stare at each other sizing one another up and neither backing down from the other stare.
Luna stared at the two before deciding to step in before they both were brought into a fight. "Lu Bu, this is my captain of the night guard.....and your commander."
Lu Bu immediately glared at Luna. "WHAT!? I never said anything about joining your pathetic guard!"
"How funny. Here I thought you were the pathetic one." Night Scar stated.
"You want to die vermin!? I could easily split you in half!" The two glared at one another.
"Lu Bu I know you dislike.....following orders, however, there are no battles for you to fight in." Luna stated.
"WHAT!?"
"If you joined the night guard however....You will always find somepony to fight whether it be a spar or fighing those who would harm Equestria."
Lu Bu stared at her.
"Unless you are just a weakling and coward." Night Scar stated and jumped back as the spot he was standing in had a halberd pierced it.
"YOU DARE CALL ME WEAK!?" Lu Bu shouted then glanced over at Luna. "Consider me in. But there better be strong opponents to fight." With that said, he walked out of the throne room.
Luna smiled as she glanced at her captain. "You did that on purpose." Luna stated while Night Scar had a small smirk on his face.
"I have no idea of what you speak." Night Scar smirk disappeared. "We have received reports of the griffons acting strange."
Luna stared at her captain. "How strange?"
"Everyday. More and more griffons are gathering to Raven Claw."
Luna stared out towards where the sun set. "Where the first pony and griffon began."
"We even heard a chant they said as they marched."
Luna didn't say anything but motioned for him to continue.
"Za dashu snaku Zigur, Durbgu nazgshu, Durbgu dashshu." Night Scar spoke.
"There are few who can understand the ancient language of the griffons."
"What does it mean?"
Luna didn't answer for a few minute before finally speaking. "The day of reckoning comes! The pony time is over! The age of the griffon rises."
The two didn't speak but instead stared down at Lu Bu who swatted another royal guard away. "You knew this. That's why you wanted this Lu Bu to join."
Luna silence was his answer. "The ponies need a hero to rally behind."
Night Scar was silent this time. "He may have.....tendencies but I believe he is the warrior ponies will follow."
The two remained quiet as they stared at the moon.
