It was a little after four in the afternoon when a guard barged into the throne room to inform Celestia the Draconians were within sight of the castle. She dismissed him and told him to escort their guests in. She had a maid go fetch Twilight and Luna, along with the rest of Twilight's friends. Now all three Princesses stood at their thrones waiting for their guests and looked at their little ponies as they fussed over each other.

Many of the Nobles lined the hall, wanting to see the rulers of the newly discovered kingdom. While others were looking to gain position over others with the new trade these new beings would bring with them. Everypony quieted down as the guards slowly opened the doors. Everypony gasped as what best could be described as a bird given anthro form stepped into the room. Fluttershy had to be held back by Applejack from fawning over to the new being. He was five feet five inches in height. He had beautiful green feathers and from his arms, long green white and yellow feathers made his wings. He wore a white suit with a gray vest. He bowed to the assembly and then spoke in the most beautiful voice that had to belong to a singer.

"Greetings all I am Calleto and it is my honor to announce their royal highnesses, High Priestess Tezumi and her brother High Magus Zinyaltes!" He stepped to the side holding one arm in front of his chest and the other out to the side.

Now these were clearly the ones they were waiting for. It was hard to swallow at first and, though they were different from Barb, they were definitely of the same species. Rarity nearly squealed at the sight of them. The first was female, if the dress and features were anything to go by. Her scales were a pale yellow that had pink highlights here and there. She had a long flowing purple mane that split into a pinkish purple half way down. She stood six feet in height and wore a beautiful dress of pink and white that had long tassels falling from the sleeves. It ended in a deep purple that hid her feet and drug on the ground behind her a little. She held a very unique umbrella over her shoulder but what really stood out about her was her eyes. They were solid black with glowing blue irises. She shown with a beauty all her own.

As for her brother, he brought an air of strength as he strode in, hands held together in front of him. At an intimidating eight feet tall he looked about as peaceful as a box of Timerwolves. He had two horns coming from the top of his head giving him almost another foot to his height. His scales were a deep crimson and his eyes a blazing yellow. His massive wings held low to his sides as he walked, the tips tied tighter by a red sash going around his back. His long powerful whip like tail drug behind him. His robes were beautifully made of white and red. A collar of black and gold sat around his neck with massive tassels matching it hanging from each arm. His sleeves stopped at the elbow but on his wrist were matching cuffs. His whole outfit was adorned with strange markings.

They both walked forward till they were but a few feet from the stairs to the thrones. They both bowed in their own way and greeted the Princesses. "Thank you for this chance and it is a pleasure to meet the Princesses of Equestria."

"On behalf of our country we welcome you to Equestria. I am Princess Celestia, regent of the sun." she bowed in return.

"I am Princess Luna, regent of the moon." Luna bowed.

"And I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Magic." Twilight bowed.

"We have brought gifts for you and proof of what we can offer in trade should everything goes as planed today. Your staff has taken it to storage but her are a few fruits you do not have." Zinyaltes said in a deep rumbling voice as he pulled out a basket from a purple mist in the air.

"They are called passion fruit and are quite sweet." Tezumi said as she ate one.

Each of the Princesses took one and then had the rest handed out to the nobles. "These are very good indeed but before we talk about an alliance and trade, me and my fellow Princesses have some questions that we would like answered. If that is all right?" Celestia said after she finish her fruit.

"Of course, think nothing of it. After all we are rulers of a country and race not thought to be in existences." Tezumi smiled.

"Where is your kingdom located?" Luna asked bluntly.

"We reside on the large chain of islands some one thousand miles off your coast." Zinyaltes stated.

"How have you kept hidden all this time?" Twilight inquired.

"The first thing you must know is that dragons find our race to be a stain on their blood line and will do anything to try to kill us. Do to this we are a very secretive people. Like myself many of our water magic users use our power to keep ships away from our island home by changing the currents. While our storm bringers make it too harsh for air ships to come near." Tezumi said as she closed her umbrella and held it in front of herself.

"Then why have you come to us for aid if your lands are so well hidden?" Luna raised an eyebrow.

"A flight of dragons forced their way threw the storm, despite our best efforts to turn them away and landed on our shores. For what reason we have no clue but once they found out we live their they began to slaughter our people. Very few of us cling to the old ways of the warrior because of the long peace we have had. So our people were unprepared for an invasion. Me and my sister are among the strongest and even we have trouble with them, but their numbers have grown and they are determined to wipe us off the face of the planet." Zinyaltes growled as he clenched his fists.

"We were named rulers because of our strength and knowledge. We came here to show how badly we are in need of aid against these brutes. Our people have fallen to the capital city and activated the great shield, it will hold for at least two more weeks. We need a proper force to drive out the dragons so we can train more in the old ways and make a proper force of our own." Tezumi laid a hand on her brother to calm him.

Before anything else could be said, a group of guards burst into the throne room and slammed the doors, putting all their might into holding it closed. Blueblood rose from his seat at his aunts side and roared "What is the meaning of this, we're in the middle of talks with foreign rulers!"

"Forgive us Prince Blueblood but two strange creatures have infiltrated the castle and are at the end of the hall to the throne room." One guard broke away from the others and kneeled before him. Soon screams could be heard from the other side of the doors and went quite not long after.

"Then why were we not told sooner and what are the guard doing about it?" Blueblood growled.

"The guard has been trying to stop them but are being thrown around like dolls sir and you yourself said that the meeting was not to be disturbed unless it was truly dire. We thought we could hold them but quickly found out other wise. We came as fast as we could to inform you." The guard said panting.

Before the matter could be brought further a large explosion shook the doors to the hall, throwing the guards from the doors. All held their breath as they waited to see what happened. Some of the mares screamed as loud hard banging shook the doors. On the third hit the doors fell from the wall.

The intruder strode onto the fallen doors clad in golden armor radiating a bright light. Stretching out his four wings, two with golden feathers giving off light and the others look to be that of a bat pony. A halo of golden fire hovered above his head. Pulling his shield to his chest and pointing a spear of pure light at the royal sisters he yelled in a voice that sounded as if two people spoke at once. "Where is our brother?"

Celestia, Luna and Twilight dawned their armor and weapons, taking position between the armored titian and their scared little ponies that ran behind them. Zinyaltes and Tezumi stepped up next to them ready for a fight themselves if the growling was anything to go by.

"I know not of what brother you speak but you harmed our guard and assaulted our castle on a day we are meeting with foreign royalty in hopes of making peace and giving aid. I will see you in the dungeon for this if you surrender, fight and you will not walk away from this!" Luna roared.

From behind the intruders back another walked into the throne room brandishing a horrid looking scythe dripping blood. He looked to be a hairless monkey "We speak of our brother Venrus Nightingale!" He swung his scythe throwing the blood to the floor in front of the Princesses "and we will know what you have done with him!"

Celestia, Luna and Twilight paled at the name and now new how much trouble they were in as the brothers of one of their strongest foes stood before them. The look on their face screamed buck me. Though they did not see it, Tezumi and Zinyaltes grew smiles that would have made Discord proud.

(Flash Back to One Hour Earlier)

It had taken most of the morning but they had finally done it. Night and Brights scaled the mountain to the city doing their best not to be seen. Though they did have to take out a group of guards at an outpost on the path. From what they could see most of the populace was ponies going about their day with a few guards patrolling the area. Sticking to side streets and alleys they made their way through the city to the castle. About half way there they had to knock out an elderly stallion that stepped out of his house as they were cutting threw his yard.

On their way they had another close call as a drunken mare walked out the door of a pub into the alley but she walked by like they weren't even there. Once they made it to the castle wall Night took up position cupping his hands together. Brights took off at him and as soon as he set foot on Night's hands Night used his great strength to through Brights as high as he could. Brights started to slow down and was about to fall back to the ground as he neared the top of the wall so he whipped out his scythe and used it to hook the edge of the wall and pull himself up. Crouching low he looked around for any guards seeing none he looked over the wall and whistled.

Night spread his wings and quickly made it to the top of the wall going straight over it into the courtyard. As soon as he landed he drew the attention of a few guards. As they ran at him he pointed up causing them to look up and it was the last thing they saw as Brights came spinning in, bashing them all in the side of the head and throwing them a few feet away, knocking them out cold.

"Brights cover me I'm going to call an angle and use Convergence with it. What ever stopped Venrus in his demon form must be strong so I'm going all out at the beginning." Night stated as he bowed and began to pray "Great warrior of the High Heavens descend unto me and grant me with the strength to stand up to my foes and serve them the punishment they deserve. Let my fury fuel you as we fight. Come forth Angel of Fury Rothrick!"

Just then a blinding light shot from the sky and where it fell an explosion followed. The dust was swept away by a pair of massive wings leaving only Rothrick in its place. Rothrick held out a hand and pulled Night to his feet. Sensing the anger in him Rothrick smiled, Night was one of the lights most devoted servants. He had never called on him before and now he knew they would be good together.

"Convergence!" Night held onto Rothrick's hand and soon the angel was pulled into him. Night gained a few more inches to his muscles while Rothrick's wings sprung from his back. His already donating armor was made even more so as Rothrick fused with his own. Once it was done, a halo of golden fire formed over his helm and his whole being glowed with holy power. "So do you want to get the door or should I?"

"I got this." Brights smirked as he walked up to the door, leveling his scythe to his right. As he reached the door he gripped his scythe with both hands and gave a hard swing "Cross Slash!" quicker then one could blink an x shaped grove was carved into the door. Brights then gave it a little tap and it fell away into six pieces. On the other side stood five guards Brights just smiled and waved "Oh hi." After they saw Brights and Night one tore away from the group sounding out an alarm, While the last four rushed Brights.

The two unicorns at the back were readying spells but Night got to them first. Rushing into them he threw a mare to the floor and slammed the stallion into the wall. He pulled his shield away but before the stallion could fall Night pinned him to the wall by thrusting his sword threw his shoulder. The mare got back up and rushed Night, sword in hand, only for him to take his shield in both hands and smash her a crossed the face, throwing her to the ground once more. Before she could recover Night stepped on her chest pinning, her to the floor. Then he punched her, knocking her out. He turned to look at how Brights was doing and could not help but laugh.

Brights was battling an earth pony mare and a pegasus mare, if you could call it fighting that is. As they swung at him with daggers and a war hammer he simply weaved in-between their attacks causing them to hit each other. The pegasus was running up behind him as the earth pony swung for his head. He ducked and slid between the earth pony's legs as she smashed the pegasus a crossed the face with the war hammer, sending her into a wall out cold. Brights stood behind her as she roared in rage trying to turn to hit him. But as soon as she turned, Brights brought the back of his scythe down on her face, breaking her muzzle and knocking her out.

They then turned to the unicorn stallion pinned to the well, crying out in pain as the blade pinning him cuts him as he moves around and burns the wound because of its flaming aura. "Do you know of Venrus Nightingale?" Night asked the guard.

"Who?" The guard replied still trying to get the sword out.

"A wolf man, he was here four days ago!" Night yelled as he grabbed the sword and wiggled it causing the stallion to cry out.

"You mean that freak we tried to arrest for the use of dark magic?" the guard spat.

Brights then punched him a crossed the muzzle "Watch who you call freak fool. Now where is he?"

"He left after he fixed the mess the Princesses caused with Princess Celestia's daughter. I don't know where." He replied.

"Would the Princesses be here today?" Night asked as he looked down the hall because he heard more guards coming.

"Yes, they are meeting with foreign rulers and will be well guarded. Though I doubt you will make it to them." the guard smirked as more guards came running around the corner.

"Thanks for the help." Night ripped his sword from the stallion's shoulder then punched him on the side of the head, throwing him down the hall and crashing into the incoming guards. "Brights, pull out your bow. I got the front." Night's sword turned into a ball of light in his hand before it quickly reformed into a spear of light. "Shield Rush! Sonic Wave!" Night rushed the guards slamming into the shield wall they made in his way. The moment he hit them a concussive wave blasted through them knocking those in front off their hooves and pushing the rest back.

Brights drew back his bow and magic was pulled from the air by the bow to make its arrows. "Multishot! Stun Arrow!" Two blue arrows fired from the bow and flew threw the hole Night had made, hitting the floor and sending out waves of electricity, stunning those caught in the blast. Brights put away his bow and lifted his hands as magic circles formed above them. "Sleep Stingers come out to play and send these angered souls on their way to a land of nightmares." All of a sudden a swarm of glowing purple wasps flew from the circles and began to sting the downed guards causing them to black out and enter the nightmare realm were each and every one faced their worst fear.

Night and Brights quickly went on their way, taking out any guards they crossed. Till they cornered a maid who quickly told them how to get to the throne room. Once they made it to the hall leading to the throne room doors they saw it was swarming with guards. Brights sent his wasps to do the job but a pair of unicorns sent out a plus of magic knocking the little pests from the air. Once they hit the ground all the guards prepared to kill them but Brights called them back just in the nick of time.

"Fine, we will do this the hard way." Brights then pulled out his bow again with a manic grin. "Chains of Binding Arrow!" Brights leveled the arrow at the roof and the guards laughed thinking he had missed but that was cut short as five of them were lifted into the air by their necks as magic chains sprung from the arrows.

Night tore off down the hall and stopped in front of the first guard. He hammered him in the side with enough force to send the pore stallion out one of the windows lining the hall. Seeing as they are on the third floor of the castle he was in for a world of hurt. Not losing any momentum Night spun with the swing, bringing his spear around and bashing a mare in the side of the face, throwing her into another guard and sending them both out another window. A guard rushed him, sword raised high, only to have Night's shield thrusted into his chest cracking his armor and taking the wind out of the stallion. Night then stabbed the stallion through the shoulder and held him out the broken window. He then quickly smashed the stallion face first into the window seal till he popped off the end on the spear and fell.

Brights, while enjoying the show of pain his juggernaut of a brother could cause while enraged, had his own work to do. He had fired off another chain arrow and caught three guards, sticking them to the wall. He then fired off three stun arrows at the back of the group taking out nine guards. Three guards rushed Night as he tried to get the impaled guard off his spear. Brights quickly fired off freezer arrows and froze the guards hooves to the ground.

Night saw what Brights had done and took hold of his spear in both hands ramming it into the guards necks and slamming them into the floor. Another group of five this time rushed him and he quickly took up a stance and thrust out his spear, making it look like there were hundreds of it "Rapid Tempo!" The guards fell to the floor bleeding profusely from stab wounds and slashes. The sight of some of the guards running behind the throne room doors, probably to barricade them, made him laugh. Two unicorns jumped in front of the door and made a shield barring the end of the hall just before the doors. Night looked to see there was no more then ten guards still standing between him and the door.

Just then Night was hit with a very nasty idea for the eight guards that stood between him and the shield. "Hey Brights!"

"Yes Night what's on your mind?" Brights asked as he walked up next to him.

"How long do you think it has been since Venrus fed your Skin Crawlers?" Night asked as he made a shield of his own, blocking their end of the hall and leaving just enough room for Brights to get his hands through.

Brights slipped his hands through the shield and let the magic circles formed "Devour all in a tide of blood and in your frenzy show them true terror! Skin Crawlers!" Thousands upon thousands of dark blue and green scarabs pored from the circles and rushed the ponies dead and living alike. Before they could realize they were even dead the scarabs had crawled up under the ponies skin and began to devourer them from the inside out. The sight of it was not the hard part, the hard part was listening to the screams. The pain caused by the scarabs was far worse then anything one could imagine but it lasted only a few seconds. In that time though, hell and all its tortures look laughable to those being eaten by the Skin Crawlers.

After the scarabs had done their work Brights sent them away. Night lowered his shield and walked over to the shield the ponies were holding up in his way. He smashed his feet into the ground cracking it as he took a stance and held his spear in both hands high above his head. "Break Wall! Weaken Chain! Detect Weak Point! Greater Strength Up!" He then gave a mighty swing destroying the shield the unicorns had put up.

They stumbled back from the shock of having their shield broken and looked up ready to cast it again. Both saw it just in time and moved their heads out of the way of the arrows Brights had shot at them. Both of them laughing like loons saying he missed but when they looked back Night had his golden shield up again.

Brights smiled sweetly waging a finger back and forth drawing their attention "Tick, tick boom!" Both guards looked on confused until both arrows flashed yellow twice giving off a beep each time. Then it hit them, they had just enough time to utter the words buck me before both arrows blew.

Night lowered the shield and walked over to the door and beat it with his fist hard three times as Brights stood behind him. On the third hit the doors fell forward into the throne room.

.............................................................................................................................

(Present Time)

It was quiet in the throne room as Night and Brights waited for their answer. While the Princesses waited to see what they would do. They shook in fear as they had no idea what these two were capable of doing and if they were anything like Venrus they new this was going to be an uphill battle. Though with Zinyaltes and Tezumi by their side they were positive they would stand a chance. That is till Tezumi acted before anyone else could and it was not in the way anyone would think.

Tezumi closed the distance from her and Night in an instant and slammed him to the floor. "Night Blade!" she screamed as she did but it was not a scream of anger or rage but one of happiness. She quickly removed his helmet, looking into the eyes of his mask covered face. "Oh Night it is you my love." She pulled him into an acquired hug, pushing his face into her breast as she straddled his waist.

To his credit it did not take Night long to figure out who this was. "Tezumi get off me women and I told you I'm not your lover." He stated as he looked at her from between her breasts.

"And I told you I would have you one way or another my dear Night Blade!" She smiled sweetly at him. She slowly got off him and then pulled him to his feet.

Night quickly put his helm back on before he looked to his brother to see him Talking to Zinyaltes as the large drake bellowed in laughter. He then looked to the stunned Princesses, then turned back to Tezumi "What are you doing her?"

"Well, like you, we were still in when it went down. Us, along with our home and what few guild members were on ended up on an island chain off the coast with Draconians of this world......." Tezumi stopped as Night place a finger on her lips.

"No I mean why are you here with them?!" He pointed at the Princesses.

"Oh we came to get help, our home is being attacked..." then it dawned on her "Night please tell me you know where your brother is we need your help. Its dragons, we cant hold them!"

Brights smiled as he placed a hand on Tezumi's shoulder "We will help you old friend but we don't know where the old dog is. That's why we're here because they do!" he spat as the four of them turned to look at the Princesses.

Zinyaltes was the first to speak "Princes Celestia where is Venrus we need his aid if we are to have any true chance against these dragons that attack our home."

Celestia finally snapped out if her daze "What is going on here, how do you know them and way would you want that monsters help. He should be locked away or put down, he is evil."

Brights and Night moved to put Celestia in her place but was stopped by Tezumi and Zinyaltes. With a growl Zinyaltes stepped up to her and looked down, his eyes burning. "Watch whom you call a monster Celestia. Venrus is a dear friend and one of the kindest souls I know. He would give his life for those he calls friend and bring ruin to kingdoms for the ones he loves. Where we come from he has saved many souls and stopped wars from breaking out. He is a hero to many and I will not stand to have you drag his good name through the mud."

"But his home holds necromancy, he himself uses the darks arts and has allied with a demon. How can you defend him from those crimes?" Twilight asked.

"Magic my dear is not that black and white. Yes the spells Venrus knows are dark arts but they are not evil. It is how you use magic that makes it good or bad. You cannot fault him for using what he was forced into and in all the time I've known him he has not used his magic for evil." Tezumi said.

"It matters little. That magic is against the law and he wont even talk to us till we accept the punishment he has for us. Which will not happen, ever." Luna said.

"We are not of your world, how should we know your laws! Everything we have is from our world where everything is different, yet you would make us villains just because we are different from you!" Night roared, the light from him getting brighter.

"Celestia, we are sorry, but it looks like we will not be able to form a peace with you after all." Tezumi said.

The Princesses look shocked but Twilight was the one to speak. "Why not?"

"Because some of our people use blood and shadow magic which as you know is dark arts. We cannot make peace with a country so closed off as to harm our people for being born with those gifts. Tell us where Venrus is, we will get the aid we need for our people from him." Zinyaltes said as he looked to the Princesses in pity.

"But we can help them by cleansing those dark gifts from them." Twilight stated.

"Oh you would kill them to make yourself fell better?" Zinyaltes look at her.

"No I would ne..." Twilight started.

"But that is what you just said to cleanse them of their gifts is to kill them! It would be the same as if we took away your cutie marks and passive magic that lets you do what you do as earth, unicorn or pegasus ponies!" Zinyaltes roared.

Before anything else could be said a small voice cut them all off as it had come from no where. "Master Brights!" A very cheery and energetic voice came almost sounding like Pinkie Pie.

"Oh Vava and Ezeroc it's so good to see you but what are you doing here?" Brights ask as everyone turned to look at him.

There, hovering in front of his face, was a wasp, but not just any wasp a nine inch tall anthro wasp dressed in a blue suit and it had a rapier on its hip. Buzzing around his head was a bee but just like the wasp it was a five inch tall anthro bee dressed in baggy blue pants a black shirt and blue over coat with sleeves so long they hung over its hands by a few centimeters.

"It's you, it's you! I missed you so much master!" The little female bee squeaked as it hugged Brights cheek if its voice was to go by.

"I missed you too Vava." Brights said as he patted her "Now Ezeroc why are you here?"

"We are here to inform the Princesses that a dragon is about to lay waist to Ponyville." Ezeroc said in a deep male voice. "The town has started to evacuate but will not be done in time. I was to tell them that after a price was set with Mayor Mare and at Mistress Barb's request Master Venrus is on his way to deal with the beast. He did not want these bitches to think he was the one attacking the town."

Celestia turned to the guard "Go ready the troops, we leave now!"

"Sister there is no time we must go and deal with it ourselves and hold it till the troops can get there." Luna stated.

"No!" Tezumi roared.

"Why not, that's my home about to get torched!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Venrus is on the move if you get in his way you will only make his job harder and get a lot of people hurt. Besides this will be good, you will see him at what he dose best and see how bad of an enemy you have made." Tezumi turned to leave "Come, we must find a place to watch so you can hopefully learn the error of your ways."

"We will no sit ideal while our little ponies are attacked!" the three Princesses yelled together.

"Yes you will or you will deal with us!" Night roared in their faces none even saw him move to them.

"If anything happens to the ponies or the town the consequences are on your heads and I will find a way to beat you and send you to hell." Twilight said in a dark tone before the three Princesses teleported them and their six guests to a hill overlooking Ponyville.
