A Galaxial Endeavor

"Sir...Nebula... It's real." One of my guards said.

"Please don't tell me it's in the grasp of the enemy." I said.

"That's the problem, sir..." He continued.

"Well, what the fuck are you waiting for!? Get it in our hooves before they know what to do with it!" I ordered, before he said...

"They already know."

"Oh god... All we can do now is pray, but we're on our own." I said, worriedly.

"What about the ICDO?" He asked.

"All our allies and dearest friends are screwed. They WILL betray you, I'm telling this now: you still have time." I felt its aura.

"I think it's all a myth, sir." He said.

"You don't have time." I corrected myself.

"Oh sir, stop being irrational." He said.

"Dismissed." Oh, god... only the most loyal will survive. He walked away.

-->>Celestia<<--

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Mori, miss." She answered.

"Thank you." I made my way to the car, I felt something washing over me. It was trying to grasp me...

It soon made their way to the complex... Its reach expanding...

-->>Galaxy<<--

"I need to speak with you." I said with serious emotion.

"Ok?" Celestia answered.

"In private." I added.

"Ummm... ok?" Celetia answered again.

We walked over to a corner, the others chatting.

"Did you feel it?" I asked.

"The aura?" She answered with a question.

"Yes." I replied.

"Yes, I did. it was trying to take hold of me. Do you know about it?" She responded.

"It's the nebula; a relic from Nipheria. It has the power to corrupt any friends that you have that could betray you. It takes one year to take complete control. Pay attention to behavior. Don't trust anybody until the time's up, even me. But for the moment the ponies here should be loyal and strong, including yours. I went there once, Nipheria. it's a masterpiece of a city. I don't know how I got there, but I got a relic. It was a golden knife of sorts.

All relics have a description. this one had the power to vanquish any soul. You can kill one, but he can come back. Even the most powerful relics can't revive one that has been slain by such a weapon. I infused my sword with it, added a couple of unbreaking gems, as I like to call them, and I have infinite uses of its power. My empire usually can keep itself afloat in these times, but we still have to set laws, curfews and such, I hope yours can too." I said

"Well, thank you..." she said.

"Well, for the moment don't think about it too hard. Enjoy the holiday. You've already been destroyed." I said.

"Sir!We have the Federation at bay and we are ready to attack!" His name was Steel Swift, best of his league.

I thought about it but..."As George Patton once said, the object of war is not to die for your country, but make the other bastard die for his.So no, we have the advantages in defense, at least more than in attack.Especially with more troops on the borders." I said
