The little balloon mounted air ship coasted along the skyline, just sitting above the clouds peacefully putting along at day break. The purples and reds of the sky coated the airship’s metallic rudder and sails, the light reflecting off the banisters of the catwalks exposed the rusting coating and the age of the little airship. Sleeping peacefully and soundly in the compartments of the airship lies the unconscious bodies of the crusaders. Beneath them is the largest blimp in the Imperial fleet, capable of blotting out the sky and destroying the small airship in one swift move. Their discovery to this unfortunate event is only the first of many of the adventures the Crusaders will find themselves in. Government conspiracies, wars between empires, the struggle of a rebellion aiming to reset Equestria back to it's peaceful origins is only the beginning. Welcome aboard 'The Crusader'.
