The Princesses arrived, "General Nightflare Redstar we see thou finally arrived, but we need him alive," said Luna, as she approached him expecting a good answer. Meanwhile nopony noticed the gems disintegrating.

"Well Princess Luna, I killed him because he insulted you, and one such as beautiful you should never be insulted, I had to defend your honor," said Nightflare, as he took a bow, "But if you think I should be punished then I will gladly take whatever punishment you see fit,"

Then Princess Celestia approached Princess Luna, and said, "Luna, I forgot to tell you about the General's Chiv-" but before Celestia could finish Luna spoke,

"Well that is very chivalrous of thou, but there will be no need for that, we are simply annoyed that we could not figure out why this Great Siege was doing this, but he was a problem so you shall not be punish, and," everypony eyes widen as she drop her Royal Canterlot Voice at the end, and spoke normal, "And I thank you for the compliment, General, and for stopping the spell, I see how you got your title of the 'Red Sword of Royalty'," said Luna, as she took a bow as well. This cause everypony except for the two, to drop their jaws, at the sight of one of the princesses actually bowing to somepony who was not even royalty.

Flash approached the princesses and said, "Actually Princess we were the ones who stop the spell,"

"Thou two stopped the Spell?" said Luna, as the Royal Canterlot Voice return. Princess Luna then approached the two, looked upon them, "Is Thou lying,"

"Actually Princess Luna they telling the truth, when I arrived the spell had already been stopped, I saw these two were indeed the ones who stopped the Spell," said Nightflare, as he stepped towards them, "And I also noticed how clever they were in stopping him, so I think we found the perfect ones for your Special Project that Princess Celestia told me the other generals about," said Nightflare, as he approached them.

"Really," said Celestia,

"What kind of Special Project," said Jack, as he got curious,

"Yes we do agree about these two, we have seen them in battle and they were quite clever, but we still need a Captain to run it, hmmm, we think Captain Shining Armor would be perfect, but we need to talk to General Iron Hoof about it first," said Luna,

"Will somepony please tell us what this Special Project is?" said Shining Armor,

"In simple terms Captain, it is a team similar to thou's sister team of friends, the Mane Six, but comprised of only a few of the best and cleverest soldiers that we can find," said Luna, "And we think we found the perfect choices, but before the team can be sent out on missions they will have to go through very tough training in areas of dangerous weather, and under very strict generals, and since thou is already here," said Luna, as she look directly at General Nightflare, "Flash Sentry and Jack Nox go to Barrack A and B for the night, and in the morning go meet with other soldiers, and General Nightflare at the train station, pack for cold, because thou two will be heading for to the mountains north of Griffinstone,"

Princess Cadence walked up to Princess Luna, and asked, "Princess Luna, what about Shining Armor," as she looked at her coltfriend with worry.

"Captain Shining Armor, will be joining them once we send word to General Iron Hoof," said Luna, as she looked at Princess Cadence. Noticing the look on Cadence's face and how it reminded it of herself in the past. "But if thou is willing to, thou can visit him every few days," said Luna, Cadence looked at Luna and smiled. Luna had felt separation before and did not want somepony else to deal with that.

After the talk Princess Luna's talk with the three ponies, they all went their separate ways. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence went for their 'late' date. And General Nightflare Redstar left with Captain Brood Gem and Jack Nox to Barrack B. The Princesses left back to the Main Castle.

While Flash headed to Barrack A, not noticing an ominous shadow standing few blocks away watching him. It was a tall pony with moth wings. As Flash reached Barrack A, the unknown pony turn away and left.

Later the body of Gando Dosan was taken to the morgue. But before an autopsy could be done. The doctor that was about to work on him, was approached by a blue earth pony in a suit. The blue earth pony presented the doctor, with a large bag of bits. And then he walked away with the body.

Then took to the body to an underground laboratory where is was presented to a dark purple batpony with a gray mane. He wore a lab coat with a hood. This hid his cutie mark. "So project Great Siege failed, how unfortunate, but how well could he use the magic gems," said the dark purple batpony.

"He used them, but it seem that the gems and even the the Gem Blade disintegrating eventually," said the blue earth pony,

"Hmmm, we will need to do more testing than before selling more of them to the buyer," said the dark purple batpony.

Author's Note

Cliffhanger!!

Yes there will be Massive Cliffhanger at the epilogue of each story that will add to the mystery.

So unknown pony with moth wings, will be a mystery villain that will show up every so often during the saga.

And the dark purple batpony will also be a mystery villain that will show up every so often during the saga.

So keep an eye out for them.

There is also other characters that will play a few roles (some big and some small) in other stories, that will have there own mystery about them that will slowly get revealed during the saga.
