The Mighty Lu Bu

Lu Bu was not a patient pony by no more means. He had always believed that the only true justice in the world is not found in any court, but when one fights for one's life on the battlefield, where the strong survive and the weak are crushed. More of a man of action than talk, he disregards strategy and politics as a waste of his time (which is just as well, since he has little talent at either one). In spite of his repeated betrayals, Lu Bu had always been brutally honest and has little faith in or respect for politicians, bureaucrats, or any cowards who use deceit to gain power. For this same reason, Lu Bu despises sycophants and suck-ups and resented being Dong Zhuo's lackey. Though that didn't really matter now.

"Are we there yet?" Midnight asked with a whiny tone while one of Lu Bu eyebrows twitched.

"For the hundredth time NO!"

The two had left Canterlot and made their way towards their destination. Lu Bu wouldn't admit it but found some of this new land quite.......unique. Especially the vast forest they walked through. Lu Bu stopped his train of thought when he saw his companion open her mouth to speak. "If you ask 'there yet' I will kill you."

She closed her mouth but still had a smirk on her face while Lu Bu just huffed and looked straight. "When will we get there?"

Lu Bu roared as he turned and slammed his halberd an inch away from Midnight who still had a smirk with no trace of fear. The two stared at each other with neither backing down. Lu Bu let out a huff before pulling his halberd out and continued to walk forward with Midnight soon joining him at his side. "So where are you from exactly?"

Lu Bu just growled at her with an annoyed look on his face. "What kind of name is Lu Bu?"

Lu Bu eye twitched. "Looks like we half way there!"

Lu Bu glanced up to see sand everywhere. "Humph!"

Midnight rolled her eyes at the stallion before looking up to see the sun being lowered. "We need to make camp."

"Why?" Midnight gave him a look that asked if he was stupid which he noticed causing him to growl at her.

"We need to rest. We have been traveling all day."

"You just weak."

"Well, you can keep going but....do you know the way?" Midnight asked with a smirk on her face as she stared at the stallion who was scowling. "I thought so."

With that said Midnight had pulled out a tent from her traveling pack and had begun putting it together and smiled once she was done. She turned towards her partner who had not put his tent together but instead was just standing there. Midnight stared at with a look of confusion before she smiled. "You didn't get your traveling pack did you?"

Her smile grew wider as she saw a red blush appear on his face. "Will you shut up before I kill you."

Midnight just shook her head before she moved her armor and layed it in front of the tent with her sword laying within hooves distance. She crawled into her tent, layed down while also turning to look at Lu Bu who was leaning against a tree. "You could come in you know? There's room for both of us." She was answered with a growl.

"Will mature of you." Midnight deadpanned.

"I don't need your help."

"Will you stop being stubborn."

"I will when you are not weak."

"How about you stop being a dick?"

"How about you stop being a stupid ****?" Lu Bu asked with a smirk which vanished from his face as he heard her yell. Next thing he knows he was grabbed and tossed into the tent landing on his back while his halberd was impaled into the ground outside. Midnight walked into the tent. "Who do you think..." Lu Bu was cut off as Midnight pushed him onto his back with both of her hooves growling.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" Lu Bu stared at her and opened his mouth. "DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK!" Only to close it again.

"I AM LU BU! YOU DON'T ORDER ME AROUND!"

"OH YES I DO! I HAVE PUT UP WITH YOU ALL DAY AND YOU WILL STOP BEING STURRBORN AND BE A GOOD PARTNER! YOU CAN HATE ME BUT YOU WILL RESPECT ME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!? I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?"

Lu Bu stared at this mare with wide eyes as he never heard a woman yell at him before. He soon saw she fell down next to him and fell asleep after saying goodnight. Lu Bu stared at her for a few more minutes before laying his head down and letting sleep take him while thinking of the mare next to him with a smirk as his eyes closed.

Luna had her eyes closed as she watched the two ponies sleeping under stars with a smile. "Seems there might be a new couple in Ponyville." Luna concentrated her horn as she sent the two ponies peaceful dreams of their crush which hopefully would cause them to ask the other out the next day. Luna went to open her eyes when she felt another pull in her magic from dreams. Luna concentrated her horn but was confused when she couldn't see who it was. "Tis strange."

Luna still had a  smile though it disappeared as she finally opened her eyes to return to the waking world and turned to her desk and saw a piece of paper on it. She brought it over towards her. The paper was normal but on it was the seal of the Night Guard. What had her attention was the words on it.

"khe hauk begun. canaverloav ukhall bi. uko ukhall ul griffon kingdom riuke."

Luna glanced out to her moon with one last thought. "He's moving all the pieces to himself. King Metal Beak." As she spoke lighting flashed through the sky with thunder after it.
