Author's Note

This Chapter will be split into two points of view. Flash and Jack. For this Chapter mostly however I might bring it back in later chapters.

Chapter 1: New Transfers

Flash Sentry exited the train, and headed straight toward to the Grand Barrack, where registration was going on. The barracks filled with several applicants, some being accepted, others being denied. It was tough work to get into the Equestrian Guard. But Flash was willing to do the work.

He approached Guard Service Registration. There, was a stallion, very tall light blue earth pony named, High Stand. Flash walked up and presented his papers. "So Flash Sentry, you want to be a soldier, you know you don't look like a killer," said High Stand,

"Yes I know, but I can still be an excellent soldier sir," said Flash Sentry,

"Well can I see your background info, hmm, seem to match what we already have on file," said High Stand,

"They already have my files on record," said Flash, in confusion,

"Well the truth is we have all possible soldier's files on record, in case they want to join, and well your academy score record are quite high," said High,

"Well thank you sir," said Flash,

"I also see you have plenty of linguistic skills," said High,

"Yes I can speak in fifty-two different languages," said Flash,

"And can see you are highly a claimed weapons expected," said High,

"Yeah, I have experience wielding all kinds of weapons," said Flash,

"Well that could prove useful, you in, head over to Barrack A, to meet your new boss," said High Stand, as he stamped the files with the approved symbol.

"Oh thank you sir, I won't let the Pegasus Guard down," said Flash, as he took his papers and headed for Barrack A.

An unexpected cart pull up. It was a top of the line Blue Limo-Cart, encrusted in gold. The door opened and out forth stepped Jack Nox. A dark purple batpony, with green mane, and barcode cutie mark. Jack headed for the Grand Barrack to join the Batpony Guard, while everypony else was in awe of see such an expensive cart. A few of them even drop their jaws as if to the ground. "You might want to pick your jaws everypony," said Jack as he walked by.

Meanwhile his butler walked up behind him and said "Sir, your father will not like this,"

"My father doesn't seem to ever like my ideas, so what else is new," said Jack with a bit sarcasm in that last part,

"But sir, you have a business to get ready to run, you Father want you to succeed him soon," said the butler,

"Yeah, in three years, but until then I can do whatever I want, I want to prove I fight my own battles," said Jack, as reached the door to the Grand Barrack

"But Sir, if I don't you back I could get into some serious trouble," said the butler with a very worried look on his face,

"Don't worry I got a brilliant idea, here take this," Jack said as he turn back to the butler and pull out a bag of bits,

As butler grabbed it and looked inside, "Why sir this is over two thousand bits in here, I could not accept this,"

"Yes it is, think of it as a sorry, for this next part..... you're fired," said Jack as he turned back to the door,

"What!" said the butler who now in shock,

"Look it was either my father firing you or me firing you, but at least you got money with me, my father would had one of his "connections" make you disappeared.........I'm joking," said Jack, as he enter the Grand Barrack,

"About which part sir?" said the butler, who was now really confused, as the door closed,

Jack Nox went right up to Guard Service Registration. He walk up to High Stand, who apparently had a shock on his face on who of all ponies would walk but Jack Nox. "My good sir I would like to join the Batpony Guard, I believe you know who I am," said Jack Nox,

"Yes, I know who you are, Jack Nox, son of famously rich Norman Nox, CEO of Nox Corp., who happens to supply all our weapons," said High,

"Yes, that me, but I am hoping with my new job I can get recognized for something I did and not what my father did," said Jack,

"Well, sorry, as I said your father supplies us all our weapons, so-" said High, but then was interrupted,

"Weapons that I helped design might I add," said Jack, as he interrupted him,

"Still does not excuse the fact that if we let you join, we could not guarantee your safety, and that would not sit well with your father," said High,

Upon that moment Princess Luna walked in. High Stand instantly bowed to the Princess as she walked by. "Hello sir, how goes the recruitment," said Luna,

"Very good, in fact too well, as you see I was about to bar this one from joining," said High Stand, as he continued to bow while pointing at Jack Nox,

Princess Luna looked upon Jack Nox, notice instantly from his look and style, that he clearly had never see the bloodshed of war. But he however also had look that even though he had not seen war he had indeed seen sorrow. "What is thou's pain," said Luna,

To which Jack reacted strangely. He did not realize that she was analyzing him. So Jack slowly replied, "I have no pain your Majesty, I just simply want to prove myself,"

Princess Luna knew instantly that he was hiding something, but did not want to push to find out what, or why. Then Luna walked over to High Stand and said, "Sir, thou will allow this one to join as well,"

"You can't be serious you majesty," said High,

"Thou think we are not, then thou shalt see our true seriousness," said Luna, with an almost hiss in her voice,

"That will not be needed your majesty," said High Stand, as he quickly grabbed Jack's papers and stamped "approved". And then told Jack to head to Barrack B. Jack Nox headed that way as quickly as possible since he did not want to see the Princess's anger. However upon rushing out of there Jack Nox found himself crashing into a yellow Pegasus.
