The caravan hide huddled together under a tight cluster of trees. Rarity had placed herself as guard watching for any sign of Delta. When she saw those familiar T-shaped visors, she breathed a sigh of relief and started rallying everypony to move. She trotted over to them giving them a once over.

"You all don't seem to worse for ware. Is it safe?" She asked

"Crash sites secure for now, but we could use help searching for supplies." Boss relayed.

"I'll ask for volunteers." Rarity said and went back to gathering everypony up. Once gathered and several survivors offered their help they made the short hike back to the wreck. Boss and Fixer pointed out what they needed, and they all split off into groups to work. Once Celestia joined them the Villagers stopped to marvel and bow, some wept at her appearance. After telling them to rise she begun to check each of them using her magic to heal and bring relief to those who needed it.

Delta squad gathered around the mount with Psychos now grey from ash helmet laying on it. It sat next to the LA-AT's canopy which rested smashed and mangled off to the side.

"It's a marvel Dece survived an open crash." Scorch admitted, but Fixer looked at the canopy then to the ship.

"The canopy didn't get destroyed in the crash. Looks almost like a Jedi tore it off." Four-Oh commented

"The Princess?" Scorched asked. Boss spoke up.

"Celestia has proven to be stronger than anything we've encountered." As if to prove his point the sun began to set, and the Moon slowly took its place.

"I don't know how I feel about something with that much power Boss," Sev admitted glaring at the sky. Boss put a hand on his shoulder.

"The way I see it Deltas, She's not sent us to kill something I didn't agree needed it yet. If she does, then we can reassess our loyalty." All of Delta nodded in agreement.

Rarity made her way over to the group. "Good evening Deltas I do hope I'm not interrupting, but the supplies are all gathered and on the sleighs."

"Good to hear Miss" Boss praised, Rarity beamed and turned to Six-Two.

"Oh and Six-Two darling I found this for you." She levitated a new DC-17 out of her bag and held it out as the clone held in an excited noise.

"Man, someone at command, love's me!" He exclaimed as he looked at the gun. "I never got to put in the engineering request before getting swept to the Griffs thou."

"Wonder who packed the ship?" Four-Oh wondered.

Rarity smirked, "Judging by the box full of apples, I have a pretty good guess."

Fixer nodded as the pieces fell into place. "Oh-Four must have heard your blaster troubles and stocked another one." He marveled at the for thought.

"Hope shes got good hoofwriting I've heard the request forms are murder." Six-Two joked then something turned red in the sky and everyone jumped to look. It was the moon! The moon had become scarlet red. "Um is it suppose to do that?" Scorch's joking tune turned to concern real fast.

Celestia stared at the moon with the briefest look of horror before a small smile graced her face. "It seems we both have broken our vows this day dear sister."

"Ma'am Whats going on?" Boss asked, and she looked at him with a far-off gaze.

"Canterlot is being attacked. But the Blood Moon has risen which means Luna has joined the fray." She looked back to the moon.

Fixer put a hand to his helmet looking confused. "We got a signal Deltas... It's music. It's being broadcast across the board. Clone, X-Com, Even civilian channels."

Scorch started bobbing his head to the tune. "Gotta say it's not bad actually." He started playing it out loud.

"Don't go around tonight, Well, its bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise."
Celestia threw her head back laughing "Happy hunting dear sister." She almost felt bad for these invaders, almost.

Author's Note

Told you it would be soon. I like to keep my chapters separated pretty clearly but sometimes that leads to small chapters

So I'm thinking of Splitting this story up into two stories one that Follows the Deltas and One that follows X-Com and the Battle of Canterlot. If i did this would be the splitting point tell me what you think?
