Coming Sun

"Its been too long living in subjugation, the tyranny and disgrace that we suffer from pony kind is a travesty, we need to feed the fire of revolution and take back the pride of our once proud people." My tone was mocking with Shakespearian sways.

My friends hollered and laughed at my little speech. My name is Sun I'm a human and I'm currently on my lunch break. My friends with me are Gold and Silver they are twins a little younger than I am. I have known them my whole time at this certain mining project. In the time I've been alive I learned I'm not quite like other humans, I can use magic or at least elemental magic to some degree. My expertise is currently earth, fire, and water. I learned of my control over earth magic when I got crushed under rocks during a cave in and the power seemed to manifest allowing me to free myself. Ever since then any traumatic experience unlocks a new power. So when I was a little older and got engulfed in flames during a fire I was given the control over fire, and last year a couple of guards threw me in a pond and I almost drowned, it left me with control of water. Sadly the few people that know about my powers agree that I have to keep them hidden so I won't get any unwanted attention. I do agree somewhat that it could be bad if my secret was found out but I know I can use these powers for good or at least the betterment of humans. Basically all humans live like I do trapped in camps mostly assigned to one task their whole lives, if your lucky its fishing or a butler in a city, if you're not or just a trouble maker like me its mining.

The bell rings signaling the end of lunch, Silver and Gold leave me to my work. I moved towards the exit of the cafeteria and the shouting from a guard can be herd in the hallway that leads outside. Moving closer I could see he was yelling at an old man we all called Fossil. I recognized the guard as one of the guards that nearly drowned me last year. I felt a very in character bad idea coming on. I didn't know Fossil very well but I was willing to help anyone against that prick. I called out to the guard, looking up from Fossil he turned towards me. Reaching down I grabbed a chunk of the crumbling floor. Throwing it as hard as I could it soared the distance between us hitting his helmeted head making him stagger.

"Remember me asshole?" He regained his balance and a fire was lit in his eyes.

"You're that slag who took my special swimming lessons, obviously I didn't punish you enough." Rushing towards me the guard moved with the intent to make an example of me, but his lack of any weapon didn't put him at good odds, other guards were already scrambling about in the background though and with just my fists I would be overrun quickly. I parried left and ducked a punch smashing my fist into his jaw and sending his head back. I jumped up and kicked off the wall and transitioned into gliding my foot across his face. As his body hit the tattered cement I threw my hands up in the air in celebration of my victory.

"Goal!!!"In my lapse in judgement I had assaulted a guard and played soccer with his head. He was still alive just not standing up for a couple minutes at least. I went into panic mode running out of the cafeteria into the open and was now faced with more guards that pursued me, but with all that clunky armor I put some distance between us. I had no plan but I knew I couldn't run far after working in the mine most of the day. I weaved through the housing area which was a bunch of poorly made shacks that gave horrible cover but I couldn't see any guards following me. Turning a corner my face met a very cold unloving shovel, the world turned dark.

Sometime later

The world around me was fuzzy and way too bright. I could feel rope and wood, I was in the commons area which was really where people get scolded or beaten in front of everyone, I was most likely the latter. As my eyes focused I could see everyone from the mine plus the guards. Most slaves wore grim looks, we all knew what was coming. The guard stepped up to me with a smug grin.

"You lowly humans will never accept that you are only good for being slaves or pets for the rich nothing more." I rolled my eyes, same old same old.

"I know you like beating on kids or people that can't fight back but you sound like a cliché arrogant asshole that's about to get his teeth kicked in." If I could get him to underestimate me or piss him off I could get the restraints off.

He looked at me and laughed. "You are really stupid I will give you that. If you desire to get beaten into the ground like a man just say so." I nodded, what an idiot. He leaned down and pulled out a knife cutting my restraints.

Standing to my full height I was a little smaller than him. We took steps away form each other and then faced each other. The guard charged forward, and was stopped by a yellow glowing stone fist that shot up from the ground into his gut. Staggering but not falling he looked at me with confusion. Smiling I unleashed a barrage of stone fists. Raising my hand a red magic circle formed launching a beam of fire igniting him, he screamed and rolled in agony. There was a trough nearby and to my luck close enough to manipulate the water. Raising my right hand the water followed going into the air. Slashing my hand in a chopping motion the water copied slapping the guard across the commons area. The group of humans and guards stood shell shocked.

Sauntering over to him he began steadying himself against a post. I pulled back hard on my magic grip of the water and it rushed towards my hand forming a little ball. I swirled it in my palm as I finished my last couple steps to the guard. His head hung low, and in that moment I felt a surge of hate and I kicked out the post he was leaning on. He collapsed to his hands, Two stone sleeves crawled up his arms securing him to the ground. Pressing the ball of water to his face he began to panic and struggle. I pulled back after a minute and he spat in my face. Without a moments hesitation I cracked my boot across his face, to even my own disgust the stone sleeves keeping him to the ground refused to let his body fall and a loud cracking noise followed my kick signaling the braking of his arms and collarbone. I knocked the teeth from my boots and walked off as if hundreds of eyes weren't on me, snapping my fingers and the stone sleeves released the guard. He laid limp but unconscious I couldn't kill him fearing retaliation on my own people.

I went to my hammock at the edge of the mining project, it was a calming place at a time like this when the night sky begins to peek over the day. As I lay in my hammock the dusk sky seemed to be like a orchestra playing its triumphant tune over my victory. Even on less eventful days I caught myself enjoying the night sky, I often thought of the many other beings that looked up to it as I did. One day everyone will look at the sky as equals just not anytime soon I guess. I slumped down in my hammock and my eyes shut like steel traps.

Morning

Falling out of my hammock I was face to face with an orange pegasus mare. She was warring sunglasses and had some weird combo of armor and flight suit I hadn't seen on the pegasus guards. As I caught my bearings I could see she was accompanied by many guards of every pony race.

"Wake up human number 767 I'm on royal business to take you to the castle." The small nose and long pointy ears characteristic of the ponies never seemed all that threatening but this mare had something about her that put me on edge. With my grogginess not fully gone I must of herd her wrong, take me to the castle? "What is your name 767"?

"It's Sun, what's yours if I'm allowed to ask". I came off annoyed because I was annoyed, the hand I had on the ground still propping up my weight had a yellow earth magic circle ready to send ten foot long stalactites through most of the guards but the pegasi where off the ground making aiming difficult.

"Yes you are and its Spitfire." She seems somewhat sociable for a devil. She definitely defused me a little by telling me her name, the magic circle dimmed a little.

"Well Spitfire is there a special reason I get to see the almighty rulers of Eqestria."

Her face made it clear my mocking tone had crept a toe across the line. "Don't speak ill of the princesses and you're in possession of magic and from what the report says it's quite strong."

"So my secrets out just my luck." I placed my hands up in a surrendering motion and rolled my eyes as my hands became ingulfed in flames with the intent to mock her. All of the guards flinched but she remained unaffected.

"Yes your luck you get to escape working in mining camps for a better life." I could tell the conversation was going nowhere so I chose to shut up and listen to her rambling. I looked to the tree line that was less than 50 feet away and tossed the idea around of running for it. If I follow her though I may be able to get some answers on why I can use this power.

"I will come with you on some terms though."

"You aren't in a position to negotiate." I popped up and both my hands came alive in red flames once more while my right leg below my knee glowed yellow with powerful earth magic.

"Yes I am and I'm not going if it means I'm getting dissected or sold into those weird Canterlot auctions."

"Sun that's not going to happen." The fire in my hands grew a little larger and everyone tensed up, even at this range the unicorns couldn't pop a shield fast enough to stop the beam of fire and save themselves, they would be too slow to realize its a decoy to impale them from below. "Sun I swear on my honor that's not going to happen." I could hear the sincerity in her voice and I dropped my hands. I looked deep into her eyes and I saw something I liked that I couldn't put my finger on., internally a smile wanted to stretch across my face. A change of pace would be nice.

"That's enough negotiating for the day, lets get this shit show on the road." They all looked stunned as I walked past them towards the train area. "Hurry up before I change my mind." I was escorted loosely into the train and to the back like many times before. I was put into a confined area before the train began to move.

It felt like seconds were hours in this place, this cell of a room that had all the wonderful things you could ask for like sun light and wood planks and a cot by the window which I began laying on. I felt sleep begin to take me again which was quite the welcome feeling.

It felt like I had slept for thirty seconds as a knock at the door sounded out, I groaned rather dramatically in response, "Come in who ever it is."

"Hey Sun we're going to be in Canterlot soon." My eyes rolled so hard I saw some of my brain.

"Sounds great I get to meet the supreme en-slavers of my race whooooooo." The sarcasm dripped from my false enthusiasm.

"Why do you hate the princesses so much?" I gave her the best you have to be kidding me face I could muster.

"Well let me put it in perspective for you. Let's say ponies are slaves to a species and you're treated horribly and beaten your whole life and you're forced to fight other slaves, dig holes, and find colorful rocks for high society. There is also a creeping suspicion they killed your parents. Also on top of that you have the power to stomp out everyone that hurts you or your friends but your friends beg you to never use your power even though you know that it could save everyone. Finally you use the power on a whim and royalty to the species that has enslaved ponies sends a orange messenger to invite you to tea." Her face held a mix of emotions, I could see the understanding but also the anger towards my poke at her and the princesses.

"I wish I could say it will get better but if you're not willing to fight to show everyone that humans are more than slaves you're failing more than just yourself. Get ready I will see you by the exit in 5 minutes". She left as swiftly as she came and honestly she was was kind of right, bitching and moaning at her would get me nowhere. A pit of anxiety formed in my stomach as I processed species level failure but it swiftly faded as I mentally prepped being in the presence of 1000+ year old beings.

With nothing but my goals of freedom, possible plans for devastation, and weathered cloths, me and Spitfire left towards the castle and sadly it was all the way across Canterlot. Everything here was wearing fancy clothing and shooting me weird looks which I countered by putting up my hood. Fucking high society pricks acting like I couldn't shake their city off this mountain. I also realized no ones clothes had any tears or blemishes everything looked great other than being attached to a bunch of dickheads.

"You nervous or something Sun?"

"You could call it nerves or embarrassment from my clothes", motioning to my beat up outfit. I wore a once blue hoodie that was faded badly and tattered light brown cargo pants.

She smiled ,"Well once you get settled I bet you can get new cloths." I could feel my brain tussling with issues.

"Hey Spitfire I want to let you know I thought about what you said and I'm willing to prove my worth and the worth of my species." The unspoken caveat was if they tried to screw me I was gonna see how fast fancy stuff burned.

"Well that is good to hear that Sun and I know you're uncomfortable with ponies but if you need anything I got your back." That was quite warm coming from the pony who woke me up by calling me a number this morning but I guess she changed a lot when she's not in front of other ponies.

"Good to know, since you seem different than most ponies I know, I might take you up on that offer sometime." I can't tell if she's playing mind games or not.

"Well Sun most to all ponies you know are involved in slavery so their not the best. You will come to find more ponies are as nice or even nicer than myself."

"If that was true I wouldn't be a slave." I gave a sad chuckle.

"Actually about that," she reached into her pocket pulling out papers and a lighter. Lighting them on fire she smiled at me, "now you're just a human with no master," I just stared at her.

She smiled," You're welcome and we're here." No words were exchanged as I followed her though the castles gates awe struck and honestly pretty damn happy. The huge amount of guards seemed to be quite off put by my presence but did nothing as we crossed the bridge over the turbulent water and entered the castle proper.

The big hallways and high ceilings made me feel smaller and smaller. My hands began to clench as the walls towered over me, similarly to a kid with a magnifying glass. I felt myself drifting from Spitfires side glancing at paintings that adorned the walls to distract myself. I passed one of the sun split into a deep red and yellow that hung above Canterlot along with its sister painting there was a red moon over the capital city. I pulled myself from the paintings as Spitfire had continued walking without me.

"So Spitfire when am I meeting the princesses?"

"It might be awhile but I was instructed to take you to a waiting room." I imagined the dentist and my spine was washed with a chill.

"It's just down the hall wait there until the princesses and I are ready for you. "Complying I headed down the hall and entered the room, it was dark flipping on the light switch I could see it was an odd room. Every thing in the room was either blue or gold, walls were blue, furniture was gold , bed frame gold, mattress and blankets were blue. It was different than any other waiting room I was ever in but it wasn't going to stop me from jumping on the bed.

Leaping I was instantly swallowed by the most comfortably thing I had ever felt. Slowly untangling myself I felt something separate from the sheets. Unrolling from the bed I found a white suit with a gold vest and white shoes. There was a note attached. "Hello Sun, we have acquired your measurements from the mining camps records for cloths distribution and would like to give this gift for you to wear at the meeting signed -C and L." I think this is the best bribery I've ever received but thinking back the only other things I've been bribed with was food and a hammock.

Entering the bathroom I striped the old work cloths off and switched to my newly acquired suit. A very fancy comb rested on the sink. Picking it up and putting it through my hair changed drastically to a more controlled mess. Now I really felt like a lapdog. Looking in the mirror with my hair combed and my suit on I was looking at a new person in front of me, my hair was no longer disheveled but was very clean looking black. My own dark green eyes through the reflection seemed to scan the new person in front of them.

There was knocking at the door, "Come in."

Spitfire stuck her head in the room, "Yo Sun we're ready for the meeting."

"Okay I will be right out." I paused and looked deep into the green of my eyes for answers but I only found licks of flames that were always present there.

Leaving the bathroom I could see her expression change to confusion ."Where did you get that?"

"If you're talking about my suit I got it as a gift, my good looks on the other hand are from my parents." Her face went back to it's regular stern expression.

"Don't get to confident remember what kind of point you're trying to make." My eyes rolled hard and I threw up my hands.

"I won't, I'm just trying to get comfortable before I walk in there. Everything doesn't always have to be so professional you know." She just shook her head smiling.

"You're a weird dude Sun."

"So I've been told." Walking out of my room into the large halls once again. I could still feel the stares of the passerby's along with their whispers but I felt more confident.

"So Spitfire where's the throne room?"

"It's coming up you will know it when you see it." Turning a few corners we came upon a monstrous door, it had a giant eclipse in the center. I could feel a lump in my throat as Spitfire pushed the door open. My left hand twinged as a flame flickered from my nervousness.

Entering the room I could see the throne had two of the four princesses on it. I knew that the black one was Luna and the white was Celestia. I walked to the middle of the room and bowed, I had no intention to become a pile of ash at the moment.

"Rise Sun," Looking up it was Celestia addressing me. "You have been invited here because of your power and we would like to give you the chance to make a better name for humans and yourself. I can see you are wearing your gift, it's colors stand for strength and the sun. Its also the colors for the elite soldiers of the Eqestrian Army. Which brings us to why we called this meeting, we would like you to not just become a soldier but a symbol for humans like me and Luna are for ponies. Before we go any further will you accept this responsibility?"

Looking back at Spitfire who in that moment mentally got elected to my top advisor, then back at the princesses," Yes I will."

Luna joined in finally, "Are you aware of what you're agreeing to?" She was a whole lot less smiles than Celestia and looked at me with a weird intensity while fidgeting.

"Sort of, I think it is the chance to make everyone see my kind as equals."

She smiled at this." As long as you know that you will be called upon by the princesses to carry out dangerous missions and also make public appearances with us."

"Yes but I have one question if I'm allowed to ask?"

"You are allowed to speak openly." I let out a sigh and cut the throat of the metaphorical elephant in the room.

"What is your reason for making my species slaves?" I could see them become uncomfortable and they even looked guilty.

"It's very complicated but not all decisions or actions can be done or stopped by us princesses."

I felt the fog of rage roll over my decision making as memories of killing for meals and wicked acts of sadism flashed in my mind. "You can't expect me to just take that bullshit answer!" My sudden out burst startled them and guards that were hiding flinched and became noticeable. The hidden soldiers placed to restrain me if things went sour began moving towards me. I could feel the fire from my anger flowing in my veins my aura became visible and out of it came licks of my fire of every color begun to cover my body. The fire was crawling up my legs and arms like veins illuminating me in an multi chromatic glow that significantly raised the temperature of the room. I scanned the room and among the sea of faces was Spitfire and her words filled my head messing with my concentration and the flames dissipated. I began to panic, my foot smacked against the floor and the marble room was divided in two by a wall of my creation. All I could do now was run, I pealed off the white sports coat and dress attire on my feet before fleeing from the room. I rushed from the room as fast as I could the sound of the armor from the guards bouncing up and down as they gave chase was audible over the smack of my bare feet on the ground.

I slid around corners magic ready and continued to raise walls of marble behind me as I made my way through the labyrinth. I felt like I was just going in circles until I passed the two paintings and knew escape was around a couple more corners. The exit became visible and I could feel an extra burst of speed in my legs as I shot through the gate. I celebrated too soon, on the other side of the gate there was a legion of guards on the bridge blocking my way out. Bad for them the bridge was over water. Running forward I jumped into the air raising my hands and the water then followed and came crashing down on the bridge, taking out a third of the guards. They advanced on me and soon I was face to face with a guard who had closed the gap between us, he was a earth pony who stood as tall as a mountain, I waved my hand slapping him away with water as I continued on my way. I couldn't make any more ground towards the exit without killing them. The water continued crashing down on them knocking them into the river just for them to be pulled out and return to blocking my path. More earth ponies charged me, I released more waves and like a great water serpent the water would crash down sending the guards flying. Time seemed to slow as a lucky guard burst through the wave. Hitting me like a land slide and sending me flying, I flopped down hard in the water. Struggling I got my head above the water to take a choked breath. Sinking below the water I could see the glow of the unicorn guards as they were charging up their horns. I was struggling with the escalating problem of the waterfall rapidly approaching and getting my head above water. I fortified my mind and focused on the water and without swimming I began to rise from the water with a blue hue until I stood upon the rapids. With drowning no longer a problem the unicorn guards became priority one and with their spell done there was no time and before I could raise a wave of water a bolt of lightning emerged from every guards horn with surgical precision scorching my body. The sharp electricity pierced my body to it's core, I couldn't move a muscle. My magic failed as the stunning spell mixed with the lightning sent my body to be revenged by the current. Time slowed as I fell below the waves and was sent over the waterfall. My eyes began to shut the last thing I could make out was a orange blob moving very fast. Then my eyes began to lock me into the darkness of sleep or death.

Unkown

It's just so dark I cant see anything. I remembered falling over the waterfall and running from the guards. I screwed up big time, I just made humans look even worse. I can see the newspaper articles now "Human's Rampage At The Castle." I'm so stupid, I swung my arms at the nothing around me.

The darkness around me opened and a light shined through. Luna came from the hole and the area around me turned to a vast forest. She just looked at me and said nothing looking at her I pointed to the spot of grass next to me. Sitting down next to me she did not speak just looked up at the full moon that hung over the imaginary forest. There wasn't any hostility from either party as the silence persisted.

"I wish that you and Celestia would understand that the struggle of my people means everything to me."

"You are very admirable for that Sun and I would know what its's like to struggle similar to your people. I was stuck in my body when Nightmare Moon took control. Then prisoner on the moon for a 1000 years I can understand your pain, I'm also a prisoner to the decisions made by others. That's why I need your help Sun I have a plan to free the humans and avenge my love. The only reason I couldn't say it earlier is the guards, their loyalty is not just to me and Celestia but to the ponies that are responsible for humans being enslavement, The Counsel a corrupt group of noble ponies. Sun all you have to do is become the best soldier you can to gain support for humans and I will cut the head from this beast with you as my sword."

"I didn't know you had a plan like this I'm sorry Luna I will do everything possible to help."

"In the coming day Sun you will be fitted for your armor come to me and I will get it more personalized for you."

"Thank you Luna I appreciate that, can I ask why you why you want to free the humans in the first place." She looked a little conflicted and sighed.

"Ill give you the full story one day but the humans were never meant to end up this way and me being banished to the moon allowed for the power vacuum the Counsel needed to go after the humans. There is a lot more to it but that's all I can tell you for today."

The forest began to fade and the world around me turned white. My eyes dilated to the room, the steady beeping of a heart monitor gave it away, I'm in a hospital. Outside my room there was arguing between multiple voices. Standing my body's protest was ignored. Opening the door I was face to faces with 6 ponies I had never met. Slowly shutting the door I made my way back to the bed.

The door burst open making me almost fall off my bed. Turning around I was face to face with a Pink earth pony girl. "Hello my name is Pinkie pie!"

I scooted over in my bed to the far wall, "my name is Sun."

"I know that the princesses told us, they also said you were potentially dangerous but you seem nice."

The rest of the ponies made their way into the room. "Pinkie he's dangerous get back." The white one said, I just rolled my eyes, me dangerous how funny.

The newest princess was in this group. I bowed which confused everyone in the room. "Hello Princesses Twilight I'm sorry for causing problems."

The white one loved this," I told you twilight everyone respects a mare with power."

Twilight was embarrassed and her voice reflected it ,"Sun please rise I'm here to introduce you to the elements of harmony. You already know me and Pinkie pie. This is Apple jack". Referring to the orange mare, reaching out my hand for a shake she saw this and gripped my hand firmly. I like this one already, hopefully she's another pony like Spitfire.

Twilight continued, "this is Fluttershy."

Reaching out again she gave a very energetic hand shake." I have so many questions to ask you like what you eat and what's it like being a human." A big dopey smile stretched across my face from her enthusiasm, She gave an equally large one back.

The blue pegasus laughed, "Fluttershy is never like this unless she's around animals." The room went silent because of the obviously awkward misconception that could be made, but I'm the new Sun I don't freak out and kick peoples teeth in, I'm the good guy and that means for ponies too.

I laughed ,"I mean I've acted like an animal so far so it makes sense, I'm the closest thing to a talking animal at this point."

I turned towards the white one and she caught on. "Hello my name is Rarity," reaching out for a hand shake she reached out shaking like a dead fish.

Finally the blue Pegasus. Instead of a hand shake she made a fist, I pounded it. "The names Rainbow dash the fastest thing you will ever know." She's really cocky but not unlikable.

"It's nice to meet you all but by any chance do you girls know where Celestia is I need to talk to her."

Pinkie Pie smiled to big to fit her face , "well you're in luck." Just as she said that Celestia entered the room.

"How did you know that?" She just laughed.

Turning to Celestia, "I would like to ask for a second chance and I will do everything I can to be the best soldier possible. I had a chat with Luna when I was asleep and it has helped me realize somethings."

"She has also spoken with me and as of now you are a soldier of one of the Elite eclipse strike teams you can get fitted for your armor when you are ready just go talk to Spitfire."

"Okay I will do just that", I also have to thank her for saving me from the waterfall.

Rainbow dash almost exploded ,"you know Spitfire like the Spitfire."

"Yes she's one of my few pony friends." Her face leaked jealousy and honestly I was more focused on how the word pony and friend came out of my mouth.

Celestia spoke up," Its time for us to have our meeting, good luck our rising Sun." She smiled as she turned towards the door.

"See you later everyone". I received multiple byes.

I was just given a military position and the beginning of my new life. Pride filled my chest and I could feel something unfamiliar began welling up in me the tips of my fingers sparked and before I knew it the feeling was gone and this mysterious magic faded.

"I am weird." I scanned my hand as I moved about the hospital room. The white dress shoes and sports coat had made it back to me which I slipped on before exiting the room. The infirmary was directly attached to the castle and I found myself wandering the halls once again. This place felt deserted I hadn't seen a pony since the elements of harmony visited my hospital room and Celestia teleported to the meeting. Turning a corner towards the throne room I could see a group of ponies leaving, Spitfire among them.

"Hey spitfire." She began coming towards me pretty fast, I can't tell if she's mad." I was told you were going to help me get my armor." She slapped me across the face, I paused and just stared at her blankly in response.

"Sun do you know how much of a idiot you are," definitely mad.

"I know I know I was going to thank you for not letting me fall to my death." Her face said that wasn't even half of the issue.

"Just follow me and I will get you to the fitting room for your armor that you're going to need if you are always going to be so unfathomably stupid." I caught my laughter in my throat as laughing at her frustration wasn't worth catching a boot between the legs.

As I followed Spitfire through more maze like hallways she didn't talk to me proving her point further that I was in trouble and I needed to be punished. She stopped and entered a room with a big eye on it. Following her in, the room was full of chunks of cloth, armor, gadgets, and beakers full of strange liquids. It was a very strange sight to say the least, to top it off there is a strange mare mumbling to her self in the middle of the chaos.

Spitfire finally spoke, "Yo Eye I have somepony who needs some new armor."

The mare who I assume is Eye turned around looking extremely sleep deprived. " Okay just make it quick I have things to attend to."

Spitfire motions me towards Eye. Stepping closer Eye begins to charge up her horn. Then a light from Eye's horn flashes the whole room went white for a second or two. Nothing happened at first then different Items from around Eyes work shop began to shoot towards me and stick to my arms, legs ,and chest. The elastic fibers from around the work shop began to attach to each other forming a suit from my ankles to my neck. Then the metal chest plate and back plate flew at me connecting to each other over the elastic fibers encasing my chest and back area. Then came the pieces for my legs two pieces encased my thy to my knee on both legs. Then below my knees two pieces snapped on each leg encasing my lower leg. The pieces for my arms were in two parts like my legs, the first part clicked around my bicep and tricep, the second part encased my forearms. I was fully armored in what felt like a moment. All joints were free to move and It didn't clank around like the guards armor.

"How? Just how?" My gaze shot between my metal encased body and the ponies in the room.

She smiled at my curiosity, "I have a spell that's connected to every piece of armor in this room and when I use the spell it picks out the part that would fit the best on that pony or in your case human."

"Well that is amazing thank you."

"You're not done yet we still have to paint it." Eye pulled out three slips of paper. "These are the three designs you can get. The first is the most popular for unicorns and earth ponies its the classic full white with celestia's cutie mark in the center and gold trim. The second is the favorite of the pegasi and is the armor of the Wonderbolts, it is gold chest and back plate with the wonder bolts logo and blue legs and arms. The finale is the favorite of the night guards elite soldiers the blue moon strike team, its all black with a blue crescent moon in the center of the chest plate. So what are you going to pick?"

I could feel Spitfires stare burning the back of my head. "Eye I would like the blue moon armor please." I mean come on I was already on that team according to Celestia.

Eye smiled. "If that's what you want here you go, blasting me with a beam of magic the new design covered my armor, with an added itch in my nose and a strange magical sensation.

"Eye is it supposed to make you" ... achooo! Lightning of all colors arced out from my body.

Spitfire looked at me with confusion," Sun your file didn't say you could use lightning." My eyes got all big and I stared at my hands.

"I can't Spitfire."

The memories of last night came back to mind. "When all those unicorn guards zapped me could of been enough to unlock new magic."

Eye's interest was peaked, "what do you mean unlock new magic?"

"Well ever since I was young extreme amounts of stress or trauma seems to unlock different magic powers that I can use". Eye seemed satisfied by my answer but still muttered under her breath. "Spitfire can you take me to Luna's room she told me to come there when I'm done getting my armor."

"Sure follow me just don't wander off."

"See you later Eye and thanks for the sick new armor." She waved and then began to scribble on a note pad. Leaving the room with Spitfire I realized that I have cloths under all of this and I don't know how to take this off.

Eye must have read my mind peaking her head from the door. "Snap your fingers the pieces fall off then just unzip the under suit". Reaching back I felt the zipper right behind my neck.

"Thank you again Eye." She just shut the door and I was left kind of deflated.

After walking for a couple seconds Spitfire spoke up. "Why did you pick blue moon armor?"

"Celestia told me I was gonna be working with them, the real question is why pegasi need heavy armor."

"Well it was your choice not a lot of us had that you're very lucky and the armor is just a formality we typically use light weight combat suits." Our conversation entered a awkward silence as we continued down the hallway.

"So Spitfire do you know Rainbow dash? She got really weird when I mentioned that you were my friend."

"I've met her briefly a couple times but she is, how do I put it she's a very dedicated fan. If she could get past being a fan her skills would easily get her into the Wonderbolts."

"I see, are you high ranking in the Wonderbolts?"

She looked at me like I had just said the most stupid thing in my life. "I'm the captain of the Wonderbolts."

"Oh I didn't know that, remember I literally spent most of my life in a hole in the ground."

"It's okay you were a slave up until yesterday, but you're strangely knowledgeable for a former slave." A smile crept across my face.

"We all have our secrets." We were finally face to to face with the lunar princesses giant door.

"What did you say Sun?"

"Nothing , nothing at all."

"Well Sun I will see you later."

"Bye Spitfire." Turning towards the giant door I reached for the knocker on the door but before I touched It the doors opened to a smiling Luna ."Hello princess."

"There's no need for that formality Sun call me Luna after all this is a meeting of two friends after all." With that I entered the room.

Luna began to laugh for a unknown reason. "What's so funny Luna?"

"It's funny that somepony named Sun is wearing blue moon armor but I'm glad and it will help keep the Counsel off your back for a little while. Because of that armor you take orders from me and the other princesses but your armor also says you're in one of my personal strike teams. Speaking of taking orders your first mission will be given to you tomorrow morning but it's time to get to business, please remove the metal pieces."

"Okay Luna ", snapping my fingers the pieces of armor fell from my under suit.

"The first thing I do will help you on missions. It involves turning that under suit into casual cloths , just focus on something that you would like to wear and I will cast the spell."

"Okay I know what I want". The image of jeans and a nice jacket came to mind no real design just the jeans and jacket.

The beam of magic hit me and I can feel the cloths changing on my body. My new outfit was born, It wasn't exactly what I thought design wise but it will work. An athletic purple zip up jacket with princess Twilight's star over my heart with black cargo pants.

Luna began laughing at me. "So dose somepony have a interest in the youngest princess?"

As I try to defend myself I felt the sneeze coming ."I do n".... achoo !Lightning once again shot out of me.

Luna stared at me than smiled as her typically flowing hair went frizzy as she ate a lightning bolt to the face." That just gave me an idea." Her hair went back to normal a she began gathering all the pieces of my armor and zapping things into it.

"Can I see Luna?"

"No it will be a surprise, go sit. "I took a seat on a chair and waited for her to be done. She finally stopped tinkering with my armor after some time.

"Can I see it now?"

"Yes you can", just snap your fingers.

Snapping my fingers my outfit returned to its original form of a under suit and began to get attached with my armor pieces. I could see the changes, my leg pieces had a blue lightning bolt going down my legs , my arms had blue lightning bolts going down them but at the very end of my wrists the elements of harmony's cutie marks arranged in a circle with twilight's in the middle, my chest plate now had a couple white stars a cross it.

"Thank you Luna I'm very happy you would do this for me." My opinion of ponies is changing so fast I will be the best soldier to free my people but also to protect the good citizens of Eqestria.

"I'm glad to hear that Sun, we will talk more some other time I have to attend to my duties as princess of the night."

"Well bye Luna thank you again."

"Farewell Sun pleasant dreams await you."

Making my way to my.... oh wait I don't have anywhere to go I don't have a room. I guess I will just crash in the courtyard I've passed a couple times.

Making my way into the courtyard I could see the bold full moon. Laying down in the grass I felt calm looking up at all the stars that painted the sky.
