The Mighty Lu Bu

In the Undercaverns, the city of the bat ponies was quiet. It was no surprise as all the bat ponies were shocked at how a regular earth pony could take out twenty-five guards. Not even a well-trained guard could that. So it was peaceful in the city.

"I AM NOT WEARING THAT!"

Yup peaceful.

Lu Bu stood glaring at a guard who was glaring back though he had a bead of sweat going down his forehead. In front of the guard was the equipment that all guards wore. Specifically their armor. "Sir everypony of the night guard wear this."

"I wouldn't be caught dead in those!" Lu Bu shouted and seemed really close to killing or at least maiming this guard.

The guard opened his mouth to speak "You really are something." A voice spoke out causing Lu bu and the guard to glance towards the owner of the voice. Midnight was leaning against the wall while smirking at Lu Bu.

"Aw Midnight I was wondering when you would show up." The Guard that had been arguing with Lu Bu went behind himself and pulled out a box, setting it on the desk. "Your sword is repaired."

Midnight walked towards the box while Lu Bu kept his glance on her while she proceeded to open the box. Reaching in with a hoof she pulled out a sword. The sword was about the size of a regular sword, but the color of the entire sword was dark pitch black. Midnight gave it a few swings before smiling and sheathing it. "Thanks, Cheify." The guard just rolled his eyes at the nickname.

Midnight turned her attention to Lu Bu who for once was quiet as he stared at this bat pony. "See something you like?" Midnight asked while twirling around.

Lu Bu shook his head and growled. "If you have time to talk, you have time to fight." To his surprise she simply giggled.

"You right! I haven't had a good fight in a long time." Midnight spoke with a smirk that showed off her fangs. "Anyway, we need to get going. The captain wants us to meet him at his office."

Midnight then began to walk out while Lu Bu just scoffed and began to follow her. "Hey, you still need your armor." The warrant officer shouted from behind them.

Midnight stopped turning around she spoke. "Sorry Cheify, but I doubt you could get that this guy here to do that." With that said she walked out with Lu Bu following her while smirking.

The two walked in silence as they headed towards the captain's office until Midnight decided to break the silence. "So where are you from anyway?"

Lu Bu glanced at her and decided to answer her. "Jiuyuan county."

Midnight cocked her head to the side. "I never heard of that place or seen it."

"I doubt you ever will," Lu Bu growled out, but Midnight just giggled. "What is so funny!?"

"You are really cute when you mad."

"I could easily kill you right now." Lu Bu spoke while glaring at her.

"Probably, but you won't ever meet somepony with this much sexy! You would miss me." Midnight spoke with a smirk.

Lu Bu just stared at her. "I just met you."

"Then you know you will miss me!" Midnight spoke with a smirk as she trotted ahead of Lu Bu who was glaring at her with his hoof holding his halberd twitching.

"Weaklings," Lu Bu growled out as he caught back up to her. "I am surrounded by weaklings!" Lu Bu then noticed the guards staring at him with....respect in their eyes? "WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT!?" This had the desired effect as they looked away.

Night Scar stared at the paperwork on his desk with a glare as he could have sworn it moved by itself. When he took over the position of Captain he was left with a warning that apparently was passed down from captain to captain. 'Beware the paperwork'

'I think I might be losing it.' Night Scar thought.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT!?" Night Scar looked towards his door with a sigh.

"Does he have to be so loud?"

Night Scar glanced back down to his desk only for his eyes to narrow as he saw the pile of paperwork became bigger. 'I am losing it.'

There was a knock at his door. Night Scar opened his mouth to say enter when the door was kicked open. Lu Bu was the first to walk in while Midnight followed him in. Night Scar sighed as he saw Lu Bu without the armor of the night guard. "I am not going to even ask."

Midnight saluted while Lu Bu just stood there with a bored look causing Midnight to elbow him in the chest. "What was that for!?"

"You supposed to salute a officer!"

"I don't salute anyone!"

"I think you mean anypony."

Lu Bu growled at Midnight who just smirked at him.

"ENOUGH!" The two ponies glanced over at Night Scar.

"I didn't call you here to argue. I honestly don't care if you salute me or not, but I do expect you to complete the mission, understood?"

Midnight nodded her head while Lu Bu just glared at him at him, but Night Scar took it as a yes. "You two are going to Appleloosa."

"Appleloosa?" Midnight asked. "What about Night Eye sir?"

"We have been receiving reports that there will be a war between the buffalo and ponies there. Since Night Eye is....hoptilized along with most of the guard." Night Scar spoke while glaring at Lu Bu who was smirking. "It will be only you two."

"I thought the element bearers made peace between them though sir?"

"I don't know, but your mission is to find out what is going on and without fighting." Night Scar spoke the last word while glaring at the two. Midnight just rubbed her hoof on the back of her neck. Lu Bu was glaring back at the captain.

"Who are you telling when I can fight!?" Lu Bu shouted as he glared at the captain.

"The one who just gave the order. However, if any of you come under attack then fight back. Does that make you feel better?"

Lu Bu growled before turning and trotted out. Midnight just giggled while following him out. Night Scar sighed. 'Something tells me those two are going to give me headaches.' He turned back to the paperwork and saw it now towered over him. Night Scar response was to simply swat it down with a hoof before getting up and walked out of his office.
