(Year:2057-nighttime, Earth- 7,000 feet in the air, 3rd person)

In the night sky the dropships were specs that could seen by its engines, and closer up the main hatch was opened up with three dozen kids and half-a dozen armed soldiers plus one in operative gear.

Alright ladies, we are currently seven thousand feet up from the ground with no chance of a safety net this time, form two organized rows and be prepared to jump, (hand shoots up) Yes, question?"

"Where are the parachutes?"

"Good question Two-Niner, when you are at the edge of the ramp we will throw your parachutes and you will have to dive, catch, attach, and use the Parachute before you hit the ground. The place where you need to land is along the river and walk up it to base. Now form u and get ready to jump." The three dozen kids then formed up into two lines just as the first two packs were thrown.

"Five... Four... Three... Two... One... Jump!" then the two soldiers tossed a pack each into the night and counting then pushing a kid out of the dropship for their catch. the kids slowly shuffled to the edge until four remained, two twins with both grey hair and eyes were at the edge. The boy slightly taller than his twin with a careful gaze and the gal slightly smaller than her twin with a bubbly personality despite their training.

"Come on Bro, its easy, jump and catch."

"But what if we miss?"

"Land for the grass big bro." she said laughing, and to be suddenly thrown out by the soldier on the right and same with the other twin on the left.

(Minutes later)

The kids were all at the base fields, some sitting and some standing until seven figures dropped down and pulled out energy batons with the Operative in front.

"Alright looks like we only had three DOI, Now start running, you get a thirty second head start... Ones who don't make it don't get dinner... Starting now."


(Current time, Cantelot- Dining room, 3rd person)

"Explain..." The Inquisitor said as guards ran into the room and pointed their swords and spears at them, then gulp as Talon pulled out his seven foot sword (Model of sword is a bit different) and gave it a test swing as Arrow pulled out his plasma bow and aimed it at the nearest guard as both of the ATLs gave their squad leader a nod.

"WAIT!!!" Celestia shouted as the guards started to rush the ATLs, but to stop and look at the princess and to be waved away. As soon as the guards exited Celestia got up and slowly walked over to the Inquisitor and gently sat down on the table looking at the Inquisitor as he stood with his arms crossed looking back with his helmet Len's blazing red.

"(Sigh) sorry... we were curious to what you had and wished to... advance ourselves in the technological field... but our offer to stay during the night is still open and no pony will try to get in."

"(Sigh) Talon, go back to the ship tommorow and run scans while defending it, Arrow... you're staying with me here, and Logos, have a fragment of you go with Talon."

Logos said before Talon nodded.

"... And I accept you're apology, as long as no one tries to get in without our permission to do so... Deal?" the Inquisitor said offering a hand in which the Solar princess eagerly took.

"So about that advancement program?"

"... I'll have the answer tomorrow, right now I was wondering where Arrow and I will be staying for the night?"

"Right, I'll have guards escort you to you're rooms."

"Sister, if I can show them their rooms are located?"

"... yes Lulu." Said the Solar as the Lunar turned and started to walk away.

"Follow me, please." The ATLs looked to one-another before walking with the Inquisitor looking at Celestia before jogging to his brothers. A few minutes later of walking, the Lunar princess asked,

"... Soooo... are you immortal?"

"Depends."

"On what?"

"The type of immortality."

"...Well what type of immortal are you?"

"We are more like... Angels and demons... depending on your point of view... but we can only die from a certain things, and that is the only weakness that separates us from gods... lowercase of course. We are the un-aging type of immortals if that answers your question."

"Hmm... If you don't mind me asking... why are you so against helping us Inquisitor?"

"...Reasons."

"And those ar-"

Um, hate to interrupt, really do, but are we here?" Intervened Arrow as he stopped in the large corridor before Luna took in her surroundings.

"Hmm... yes (turns to Inquisitor) May we ask more questions in the future?"

"...Depends"

"Farewell... Inquisitor." and she was gone in a flash of light as the ATLs lowered their arms.

"Damn... never going to get used to that 'Magic' shit." Talon said as he walked to the nearest room.

"... Hopefully we won't have to."

"Sir, they're showing hospitality, we should return the kindness... at least until the ship is 'leap' worthy."

"... you're negotiating then."

"Why?"

"You managed to half convince me... Night."


(Midnight, Canterlot Royal spell room)

The Royal spell room was dimly lit with the princesses, guard captain, elements, and Discord in the room as the Lunar's horn was charging.

"Umm, Princesses is this right?" Shining asked still ready to signal his guards to 'try' and capture the 'sleeping' ATLs.

"It is to find the truth."

"But somethings are meant to be kept secret, who knows what he's seen?"

"Shining, we understand you're worry but we both need to see if he and his word can be trusted." (And to see what is keeping him so distant.) Celestia added in her mind.

"Almost done." and a mist like screen appeared before them slowly getting more and more accurate.


(??? hours, Inquisitors mind-scape)

All of the before mentioned characters were on a grey plains with it raining and the ground covered in mist three feet up, with ruins ranging from burning vehicles to abandoned buildings.

"Wh- what is this?" Rainbow asked taking flight

"This is what appears to be his mind realm, Loyalty."

"yeah I know... but why is it messed up?" just then the fog grew up behind them and lowered back down but with three figures silently standing with only Fluttershy noticing."

"Umm, girls?"

"This mind has been plagued by what ever he's seen."

"Girls?"

"Bet that I can beat whatever he's ever imagined."

"girls?"

"Confidence is a common downfall of a warrior."

"Girls?"

"Well I'm a element not a-"

"LISTEN!!!" Fluttershy shouted causing everyone to turn and see the child wearing a red shirt, a man in a grey suit, and finally one in a green sweater. The child was hiding behind the Grey one's leg with a fearful expression while the Grey and Green had a bit of curiosity in their eyes.

"Hey who are you." Rainbow said getting in front of the Grey's face only for him to look at the Green who stepped forward with a friendly smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Ello, Name's Logos, nice to be of acquaintance and how in the blazes did you get in here?"


Author's Note

Ello! Sorry for the long-ish wait and the chapters might keep coming out at this pace or speed up 'cause I finished finals, and came back from a trip that I took. The chapters will definitely speed up some but not that fast 'cause of summer school (jazz hands) yay, but other than that smooth sailing.

Might do a separate star wars story that'll be a three'er in the future... so more delay for this story for a short while... yay.
