(Current time, Canterlot Castle, 3rd person)

"Yes, but they usually crunch a little pill before we can get to them." Talon said turning his head to them while Arrow leaned out the window on the side the RAU fell out and stared while the Inquisitor merely continued to stare at the floor. Noticing how the Inquisitor was so quiet, Luna was about to bring it up when the train wheels started to screech as the train stopped at the Canterlot station. When the train stopped the ATLs stood up and walked off the train to where their jeep was, gaining the attention of the city's inhabitants not recognizing the armor they wore.

Seeing the new arrivals most of the press surrounded the ATLs and fired their questions.

"Who are you?"

"Are you a alien?"

"Where do you came from?"

Seeing that they weren't going to move surrounded by the mod of press, "Pressing on them" The Inquisitor turned to Arrow and said over the radio.

<-Arrow get a smoke prepared->

<-Already prepared->

<-... Smoke 'em->

Arrow then dropped a grey can and before anyone could notice it, said can started spewing out smoke until there was a large cloud. When the smoke cleared, the reporters were still coughing from the smoke while the ATLs were nowhere to be seen except for the barely noticeable footprints heading to the back of the train. Except they went unnoticed by all but one, the night princess whom had 'hightened vision' started to follow them.

(4 min later, back of the train, 3 rd person)

The ATLs were now inside the last car of the train, finishing getting their equipment from the jeep until their radar picked up a recognized heat signature. Not wanting to be spotted, but see who was approaching the car the Inquisitor said, "Arrow, cloak and see who is approaching." And true to his orders Arrows suit started to dematerialize making him invisible to the normal eye. As soon as he cloaked the signal stopped and vanished with an accompanying bright flash in the car, as soon as the flash happened the ATLs visors polarized and what they saw was the princess of the night. Taking a few steps back the ATLs gave cautious looks at the princess until Talon just shrugged and said, "Magic." and this put the other two to relax their posture, a bit. But being intrigued about how their magic works Arrow tilted his head towards the princess while looking at the Inquisitor for an answer, while the Inquisitor just replied with an shrug. Then turning to the Princess the Inquisitor asked, "What do you want?"

"We just want to hear your story before rumors start to spread." Luna said confidently.

Seeing the possible outcome if they did not oblige, Arrow said, "Sir, she's right, we can't leave without telling our story. Remember the first time an ATL came into an underdeveloped planet when rumors were high about our beginnings?"

"Yes I know Arrow, we all saw the report, hell some ATL squads wanted to teach the populace a lesson, which was of course denied." The Inquisitor said turning to his fellow squad member and once done talking he turned back to the princess. "We'll go."

At this Luna visibly brightened at this news saying "Great, lets go." And she ran towards the door pulling it open to find the reporters had been pushed back by the Royal Guards and to see Celestia rushing towards her sister and gathering her in a hug and broke it after a few minuets saying, "Sister you had me worried disappearing all of a sudden."

"Sorry sister, but I did get the... warriors into an agreement."

Celestia then look up at the ATLs and said, "Well then, would you like to discuss things now or later and give you a tour?"

Seeing this as a way to see their surroundings The Inquisitor nodded to Talon who said, "The tour sounds nice."

(34 minutes later, Canterlot training grounds, 3 rd person)

The group was now at the guard training grounds where Shining saw them and walked over to them and said, "Your highness rumors have started to spread about the space warriors and they aren't nice, one of the guards is causing chaos within the ranks."

"Who is and what does the guard look like?" Talon asked with an ATL's famous unnervingly calm tone, and the tone working Shining just pointed across the training field and said, "Unicorn named Golden Spark." Once the name was told the ATLs walked across the field in arrow formation drawing a lot of attention from all the guards, and when the ATLs were halfway they stopped and waited for Golden Spark to approach them, which he did, but with a few other guards accompanying him, all of them carrying swords or spears. From across the field Shining quietly said, "This is going to be a blood bath." and the Royal sisters looked at him then the ATLs.

When Golden Spark approached he spat, "What do you want." after spitting at their feet. Then one of the guards in the group said, "Gold... don't do this."

At this he rounded on the guard that said this and hissed, "Shut up Silver, they are just weaklings who are pretending to be powerful. The Gold smiled with malice, "Watch this." He then spun around and launched a powerful blast of magic with a following short sword, both to the head, but what he saw shocked him, the Inquisitors armor was buzzing with red colored electricity with the blade of the sword caught in his hand. Panicking Gold swung his second short sword at him only for it to be caught with the other hand leavig his chest area wide open which the Inquisitor swiftly kicked sending the guard back 20 feet as he threw one of the swords to the side and walked towards the guard.

Once the Inquisitor reached the guard, Gold was up and got a swift jab to the face from the Inquisitor as the Inquisitor said, "Don't leave your guard open" then preceded to kick Gold in the chest when he tried to take a swing punch. Gold doubled over holding his gut which prompted the Inquisitor to knee his head, "Protect you're head" sending Gold laying on his back in the dirt with blood running from his nose and a new cut that ran across the left side of his face. When the Inquisitor approached Gold, he raised one hand to ward off any blows saying, "I surrender, I surrender." with fear obvious in his voice with dents in his armor. When the Inquisitor stood beside Gold he bent down and held him up by the neck so his eyes met his visor with the guards feet around 17 inches off the ground saying with a calm voice, "Don't ever cross ANY person again, AM I CLEAR?" When Gold nodded, the Inquisitor dropped him in which led Gold to hold his neck and when he looked up again he saw the ATLs walking away with their backs turned to him, leaving him in the dust.

(1 hour later, one of Canterlot's meeting rooms, 3 rd person)

All of the princesses along with Shining and prince Blue-blood were sitting on one side of a table with the ATLs on the other side looking at each other waiting for one to speak. "So, what did you want to talk about?" The Inquisitor said trying to end this meeting as soon as possible and princesses Celestia as the first to reac by saying almost if she had practiced it.

"What is your story and the scientists?"

"Ours is that we were forced to escape an armada through a poral and next thing we know we were being pulled towards the planet and landing, and the scientist, he was pulled in against his will."

"What of the black ship and her warriors that tried to kill us?"

"RAU footsoldiers, the backbone of their rebel army."

Sorry but, what is the RAU?"

"The RAU stands for Rebel Alliance United which has taken countless to contain."

"Taken?"

"It took countless lives."

And at that last comment they had shocked faces in which led Shining to ask, "How many battles?"

"52 major attacks, 860 skirmishes, 342 colony planets 'Burned', and 1 battle that ended most of it."

"What was this battle?" Luna asked in a shaking voice.

"... 1,340,000 RAU and 947,000 ACSC causalities."

And that was when they were shocked by the kill number, but had to know the name of the battle, Celestia asked, "What was he battle called?"

"Battle 913, Battle of Spring." The Inquisitor said from memory, a flashback coming for all the ATLs as they began the story.
