3 Brothers on Equus

-------Before The Fall-------

(Year:2067 / 2068- ???, Earth- ATL Training site's Arena, 3rd person- ATLs)

The underground arena had a floor of sand and wooden bleachers that were outside of the rayshield barrier. There were instructors with heavy tranq guns that were trained on the two combatants.

[Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the two-] microphone screeching.

'[We give you the last two combatants who will compete for first and second places on the scoreboard. The fight will begin shortly, they will fight until they yield, or cannot stand. It will begin shortly]'

The two combatants, both were looking at each other with hate in their stances and had a grey base color. The first one was crimson, wielding dual Hook Swords (Blades were elongated to three feet). While his opponent was red, while wielding a katana and a two foot combat knife, while another was strapped to his chest.

[Alright, everything is ready (rayshield goes up) and the fight will begin! TATL Fox, are you ready?]

Fox gets into a fighting stance while twirling the blades forward.

"Ready!"

'[Now, TATL... Wolf, are you ready?]'

"'...Ready.'"

[FIGHT!] Those words made the two sprint at each other and just as their blades touched-

-------3 Brothers On Equus-------

(Time- Sunset, Ruins, 3rd person- ATLs)

"Your move."

The princesses were being escorted by Talon and a few guards into the ruins, as the others ran about to help form a line to defend themselves. Arrow was in the front pointing and issuing orders as they ran about to complete their tasks as others set up what heavy weapons they had. Arrow looked back and ordered everyone into the trench as caster fire flew over, causing some of the guards to drop the unprepared heavy weapons when the ones on top of the trench dropped dead. Arrow and the guards were entrenched as they returned fire, then their magicians made a smoke screen to cover their firing positions.

"Sir, where are they?"

"Dunno, keep firing, switch targets and fire at random."

"Sir, what about our ammo?"

"Don't your guns run on magic?"

"Yes, sir. But, we have to take the clips out to refill, and after hours of this, our magic will start to run dry."

"Then hav-" Arrow saw the elements running towards them from the castle. "COVERING FIRE!!!" All the guards looked to Arrow as if he was crazy, then they saw the elements and followed the order. After a few seconds of this, the elements hopped into the trench as Arrow took his helmet off and stared at them, his bionic blazing red. "Just what are you doing?" Arrow said in a low tone that everyone around detected, even the enemy fire seemed to stop for a moment, but Twilight was oblivious.

"We're here to help." She said in a happy tone as Arrow just pinched the bridge of his nose.

"And the rest of you?"

"Yep, cause we're the bes-" A storm of shots fire at her and some miss by a hair, singing her hair as she drops down into the trench.

"...Have any of you experienced war?"

"Yes, righ-"

"Twilight, not including this."

"...No."

"Can you teleport back to the castle?"

"Yes, but we are still here to help." Arrow just looked up as he put his helmet back on.

"Let me show you a small piece of war." Then the group walks down the trench to where a long white tent was with a red cross on the side. He motioned them in and what the Elements experienced almost made them faint, well almost all. They smell stale air and saw multiple guards with their armor burnt and melted. frying their flesh as the metal melted, leaving a red patch while the medics rushed to get the metal off before it killed the patients. Other places, patients were having limbs sawed off from poison shots, some were not as lucky as the white sheet was pulled over their head and wheeled out of the tent. The Elements all ran out the tent, breathing the cool midnight air, leaving Fluttershy inside of the tent on the ground. After a few minutes Arrow came back out carrying Fluttershy and handing her to Applejack.

"Why did you do that?" Twilight said with tears in her eyes.

"Because I had to deal with people the likes of you, thinking that they were invincible and waltzing onto the battlefield. Once I showed them that scene back there, they ran for where they were supposed to be, away from the battlefield... Now, what have you learned?"

"...That you're still a monster." Arrow simply sighed as he reached up to his communicator.

"Talon, you there?"

"Don't know, I'm away from the front lines."

"Because SOMEONE decided to lose track of the elements and let them into the combat zone!"

"I'M NOT YELLING!!!"

"Okay okay, look see if the princesses can get her student and her friends back to where they are."

"Thanks, oh and keep track of both groups next time." And with that the Elements looked at Arrow as if he was crazy, then they were covered in a white light. Arrow raised his arm as the light appeared and dropped his arm to find them gone. Nodding to himself he ran back to the trench as Blues started to become outlined, then fell to plasma arrows, putting them down for good. A guard ran up to Arrow when he was inside the trench, Arrow looked at the guard who was shaking.

"Guard? Why aren't you fighting?"

"S-sir, our numbers are dwindling and they are receiving reinforcements. We have to-"

BOOM The trench that the two were in took a heavy hit from above, and they saw several squadrons of Blue Aces flying down from above. Only to have the ones closest to the ground erupt into a glorious fashion of fire as three squadrons of the Wonderbolts flew over head. All the guards in the trenches raised their casters and yelled celebration, then the fire of the enemy brought them back to reality. They now fought with determination, with hope that they could win this battle.

But, this hope was being diminished as the Wonderbolts came down, one by one. Their hope had been diminished by the point when the last one came down, they lifted their arms as the surviving, abate less, Blue Aces came diving down for another run. Across the battle field, the captains were smiling until most of the planes were wiped out by almost nothing. Stunned would say the least as to what they were until a blur appeared and opened fire on their front lines, the first captain was the, well, the first to do anything. His horn charged as his caster has supercharged as it locked on to the blur and fired a mini sun that followed the blur, slightly faster. The ball of light slowly swallowed the back of the blur as it started to shake, to reveal a jet. Just when the front flew up, the jet and the ball vanished in a big bang of light, when the blindness settled, the guards looked around to see the Inquisitor standing on the trench as Talon and Arrow came running from behind, then all three of them walked up to the Blue's captain's position. They never flinched when the fire came from all around them as they continued to walked forward. Both sides saw this, the guards, the Blues, the Blue captains, the princesses and Main 6, and both Gold and Silver. This caused one of the captains to lose his nerve as he activated a spell that basically made him twelve times bigger than normal, trying to deter them. Failing, as the Inquisitor pulled out one of his pistols and tinkered with it, before he fired one round into the captain's face. Melting his eyes as the bullet slowly crawled its way past his skull, lodging itself and several fragments of bone into his brain. He fell dead, crushing the traitors that were behind him, leaving the other captains to try to activate their special spells before they joined the same fate from the hand of the Inquisitor. When the last one fell, around thirty of the Blue guards surrounded them, he simply laughed to the heavens as he looked around.

"Do you all really think that you can kill me? (All of them shift nervously) I'll give you a deal, if all of you lay down your weapons, you will be spared. If not, you end up like your captains... So, what will it be?" The guards look at each other before nodding and kneeling with their weapons lowered. "...Good, now spread out and find others that are willing to return the rightful leader to her place." The new guards then dispersed to find others, as the three walked back to the princesses and main 6 whom were in different states of shock. When they stopped a few feet away, one of the Elements asked.

"So what now?"

"...We take the Capitol."

"HOW! It will take years of siege!"

"Yeah, for you... Us? Just hold outside the city until you get the signal."

"... (Throws up hands) Alright, I trust you. What's the plan?"

"(Chuckles) Okay, here it is..."

(Minutes Later)

"..."

"..."

"... That's absurd!"

(Shrugs while tilting his head) "We can pull it off."

"... Well... you're got us this far, I'll trust you for this. If you fail, you will have no sympathy from us."

"Done."

(One Day Later- Mid-day, 3rd person- Blueballs)

Blueblood was hiding, curled up in the fedal position in the bunker as the screams of his loyal guards came closer and closer until they stopped outside the four foot thick door of SOLID STEEL. It crumpled like paper when Talon kicked the door as it flew across the room and embedded itself into the concrete wall above Bluebloods head. When he looked up, he pissed himself when he saw the silhouettes of the ATLs against the light, his heart stopped and he fainted. The ATLs simply looked at one another.

"I've never killed someone by simply looking at them."

"I have."

"I have."

"When?" Talon asked when he picked up Bluebloods body that smell of feces. The two ATLs looked to one another before saying.

"Interrogations... mostly."

"Wow, I almost feel bad for them."

"Don't."

"Hey, I said almost." Arrow walked up to the body of Blueblood and placed a ring on his horn, unintentionally making him moan.

"..."

"..."

"...So... touching their horn... makes them horny."

"(Sigh) Lets get moving." Then the tree left the bunker with Talon snickering until they reached the entrance of the castle, being stopped by the princesses.

"Where you thou going?" Luna said in what sounded in a dejected tone as the Metal twins ran up close behind.

"Gold, Silver." The Inquisitor said, acknowledging their presence in which they nodded back. "We are leaving because it seems that your people will need to rebuild, so do we."

"...Will you come back?"

"When we are saying goodbye, need supplies, when you are in trouble, and, of course when you visit." Then the brothers began to walk away, until the Solar called out.

"...What of the advancement program?"

"...shit, oh, right... well, we'll discuss that in the future."

"How about you put him down first and stay here for the night." Talon drops the prince and crosses his arms.

"How do we know that you won't try to get into our minds like last time."

"How did you know?"

"You got a small part of my memory disk, so Logos saw an anomaly and pushed all of you out."

"...Offer still stands."

"...No, you will probably prefect the spell and try again. Plus, we still have to repair the major damages to the ship, Goodbye." He then walked out with Talon tailing as Arrow looked between them, shrugging, then walked after his brothers. The citizens they passed cheered and thanked them as they left, while the guards nodded their thanks. When they were in their jeep, the royal sisters teleported there, blocking their path. "Question?"

"We are willing to give you an abandoned mining facility just outside of Ponyville, to make it easier to find you." The ATLs looked to each other before Arrow nodded and slowly drove around them as the Inquisitor signed the paperwork needed. When that was done, the princesses signed it and they tore down the road as the reconstruction of Canterlot started, with Blueblood and his loyal followers were put underground. As for Shining, he liked the name 'The General' and the armor so he kept both, and he choose multiple of the punishments for Blueblood. The jeep slowed outside of Ponyville as Arrow jumped out and Talon took the wheel to direct the vehicle to the Everfree. As Arrow walked into the town, the ponies gave him a wide broad space with fear in their faces as he walked into the town hall and got the papers done. When he walked out, he saw the ponies with weapons ranging from pitchforks and torches, he walked out of town as they followed him with their weapons. When the Main 6 arrived all they saw was a mob following Arrow out of town, some trying to stab him... only for said weapon to shatter on impact of his armor. They stopped outside the Everfree, the ship was already touched down right beside the facility as Arrow arrived with the paper and the key. When he opened the door, dust fell and billowed out, coating their armor as the door dropped off it's hinge and a piece of roof fell to the floor. Talon cracked his knuckles and walked forward, "Lets get busy."

As the months passed, the ATLs had fixed the old facility to a mining base to fix the ship and then more machines for various tasks and expanding deeper into the ground for experiments and storage. Arrow hunted for the group and helped with the ship, Talon worked on fixing the ship as he went into Canterlot for materials that they couldn't mine. When he was there he visited the princesses to tell them stories of them while they had tea, one time he met the captain of the royal's air force, and they talked for awhile before Talon left. The Inquisitor worked on the ship's systems along with another project of his, as time marched on, the locals visited. They were curious to their technology, especially Twilight, being a alicorn gave her 'special' privileges. She tried to take their tech by her powers, only to find out that the Inquisitor had placed EMP devices on each device which caused her magic to fry out for an amount of time. The one that visited them the most was princess Luna, she had developed a brother and sister like bond with two of the ATLs as one continued to be distant. It was one of these days when she was visiting that something happened,

(Three Months after Blueblood's fall)

The sun was out, shining as two of the ATLs relaxed while the Lunar was listening to their interesting stories. But, mostly listening to them as she stared at the Inquisitor who was working with the wires inside one of the guns. He suddenly stood up and walked down and entered the building, where it was somewhat cool, even though he was wearing his armor. He eventually climbed the stairs as Luna walked over to him, accidentally hitting one of the support beams, making the ceiling above her to come crashing down. She was frozen as the rocks seemed to fall at a snails pace, then she saw the Inquisitor move slowly and push her out of the way of the rubble as he got buried. She fell flat on the ground, but quickly turned and sat up as his brothers came running to her aid, but Luna ignored their help as she got up and started to pull the rocks out from the pile. Seeing this, the two pulled her back as she fought and cried to be let go... when the rocks shifted she stopped, the rocks fell as he slowly stood up. Looked at her, walked up to her and took her hand, pressing in certain areas. Looking for damage, but finding none, he looked up and asked,

"Are you okay, Princess?"

"Y-yes, how did you survive?"

"My suit can survive high terminal speeds and have the wearer survive, but still wounded." Just then Arrow spoke up,

"Sir, remember when you said that we could stay longer if needed for artifacts?"

"Yes, did you find any?"

"This planet's system has more Origin power than the 'Forbidden Sector' and 'Spring' multiplied by three. Most of said power, resides on this... Very... Planet."
