Chapter 15. Problem number 3!

I walked down the halls back to the master bedroom to see what was wrong with my memories in peace, but that plan was interrupted by a mare, snooping in the exact same hall has me. Beside her was Tom who was in charge with giving a tour of the place to avoid the suspicion that we were doing anything wrong. The mare was a yellow mare with red hair with yellow streaks in her mane.

She saw me and Raven saw her. We all stared at each other, unsure of how to act. I knew that she was here to find the archives, so she must have been sent by Twilight to help her out, but according to my orders. I wanted a powerful unicorn to add to my HiveMind. If she was indeed sent by Twilight. Then I should use my recently freed slave-slot to start my research on catalyst based magic.

"Hey there little guy, are you lost?" Sunset Shimmer said, approaching me, Little does she know, I was about to make her my servant. Once she was in range, I focused my magic and said the magic words. "Deus Meus," I said, causing the mare to jump in surprise. She tried to fight the spell, but like the others, she collapsed to a bloody mess and stood back up with a blank look, ready for her orders. I looked at Tom, putting together what I needed Sunset to do.

"Tom, make sure there are no listeners snooping around," I ordered. Tom gave me a nod and walked off, leaving me alone with concern Raven and the blank Sunset.

"Sunset, were you sent by Twilight?" I asked the mare as we walked deeper into the castle.

"Yes My Lord. I was sent to find any and all information that would help translate the Elder Scrolls while Celestia explores the other side of the Mirror," she said. I stopped dead in my tracks just outside of the throne room and turned to look at the mare.

My mind was racing a mile a second, trying to figure out why Celestia would want to go to the parallel, human world. The only thing that would makes sense was that she...Luna's futa dick! She was getting human tech to strengthen her forces! But if she was doing that, then she must have figured out how to use magic over there. 'Damn, I am running out of time,' I kicked myself. I was starting to need those scrolls now rather than later, but now was not the time to slow down. I was going to have to put aside my memory spell for later.

"What's so wong about that? Raven asked in an uncaring tone. I gave her a frown.

"The Mirror leads to a world that is similar to the ancients and where they are from. It is a parallel to Equestria and if she is over there, then it means that we are running out of time before she gains the nuke," I explained. Raven scrunched up her face in frustration for not knowing what I just said.

"That is correct My Lord. Celestia wanted to acquire weapons and military gear for her new division of the army called the Solar Inquisition. Aside from that, she said she was also going there to do an experiment with magic arrays over there. What their purpose is, I don't know."

"Damn it," I growled. "Whatever she is doing with those arrays can't be good. I can guess that they are teleportation arrays to help deliver the gear she is going to bring over. And if I can further guess that she is also going to gain allies on the other side." I turned to Raven who was just getting a gist of what was going on. "Raven, as much as you hate me right now can you tell me what do you think if she acquires a device that could level all of Equestria in a matter of seconds?"

"She would mowst wikely use it to take contwol of the entire world, even the Alicown Stone wielding sword mastwers of the Frontier, why?" she said indifferently.

"Because we won't be able to take her down if she gets those weapons," I said then turned to Sunset. "Sunset, I need you to begin studying catalyst magic as well as capture AppleJack, Rarity and Fluttershy and bring them here. I want you to set up an array outside of town and you found the Shadow Archive empty. Do you understand?"

"Yes My Lord," she replied.

"Good, go into sleeper and get Fancy Pants and High Voltage to help with the capture, say, 'Darkness is truth, Darkness is safety,' to them and they will follow your order.' Tell Twilight, 'Nothing is truth, Everything is permitted,' to her and she will help you make an untraceable array to help you here. Go into sleeper mode, your safeword is, 'Yellow Watersports is orgasmic,' now go," I ordered. She gave me a nod and left the room. I sighed and went straight back to my room to write another tome to aid with defense."

Steampunk was happy and filled with her brothers cum in all three holes as she waited on the train as it made its way to Griffinstone station. She had the copied scrolls in her bag in a simple book, and without a problem as she got Fancy Pants to but her a private train with a private guard that was chosen and hired by him to aid her master, King Solstice.

The security was of the highest quality and had a distaste of the Sun Tyrant. Though, she knew that out of the fifty ponies that were keeping her safe. One of them was a spy. She knew who was the spy, but her master made sure to keep him alive to avoid suspicion. He wasn't even hiding it all that well as he had a sound crystal recording everything she and the others said.

She made note of the variety of the ponies that were coming with her. There was ten earth ponies, fifteen unicorns, fifteen pegasi and ten thestrals. The gender ratio was equal to her surprise, which was also good for her master. If they were to find Eden, they would need breeders to grow an army if the original plan goes sour.

She smiled as the station was coming into view. She saw at the station was three ponies. A yellow unicorn, a pink earth pony and a cyan pegasus. All waiting to head back to the mainland. Just as the train was about to stop, the Captain of her private guard walked up to her in his custom black armor with silver tribal etchings all over the plates.

"Miss, Steam. When we get to the station, who are we going to be transferred to?" he asked in a deep, baritone voice. Steam gave him a smile. "All you need to know that it's a Griffin that Mr. Fancy and I trust with our lives. You will see him in due time," she said, causing the mercenary to groan in annoyance. "Why do I get the crazy ones?"

Captain Black Rose starred in shock as with the rest of his mercenary group. After they docked at the station and disembarked with Lady Steam as the three civilians stared in awe as they boarded the train. They followed Lady steam to the small castle town of Griffinstone and walked into the tree castle. The town folk didn't cause a stir, but instead just looked at them in indifference before going about their day. The were lead by a hen that goes by the name of Yoko to the throne room where their employer was waiting.

When they walked into the room, they saw a baby Tom sitting on the old throne with a larger Griffin at the base in a set of the same black armor as their group. Once they were all in, the door was closed and the Griffin on the throne said something in a strange language, causing the entire room to go black, leaving only the table at the center and the throne visible. At first, there was panic, but that didn't last when the older Tom explained to them it was just a privacy spell that was cast by an unknown unicorn hiding somewhere in the room.

After the room went black, Lady Steam pulled out a small, unassuming book and handed it to the little Griffin, which he placed to the side for later. He gave us a quick look and pointed to his little sister, Ruby Rose and barked at her for her to step forward. She did so smugly, but once she stood in front of him, he spoke in a cold and calculating voice.

"You think I will tolerate spies?" he said, causing everyone to stare at Ruby in confusion. Why would the Griffin call his sister a spy? Black wondered, but he stayed quiet and listened what this Griffin had to say.

"I'm not a spy you little cunt," Ruby spat, but the Griffin was not amused.

"Really," he cracked a smile. "Then tell me. How did it feel to assassinate Sergent Wind Caller a few weeks ago? I heard he was a White Claw supporter that aided in the train heist. I heard you also killed his family after your partner raped his daughter and took her as a fuck-pet in which he was allowed by Celestia's orders. Trust me Ruby. I know who everyone is and I have contacts that even the White Claw would die for. So, you can A; kill yourself, or B; let me do an experiment on you and you get to live."
