A day with Generals.
Over the top.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterInferno, Storm, and Twilight walked off the train stiffly. It was a long and perticularly borning train ride. No one spoke after Twilight learned of Storm's and Inferno's secret. Questions still lingered in her head, questions that questioned the questions of which she wanted to ask. And she would've ask them, but she didn't want to seam pushy. The secrets that this two had, immortal, they were immortal!
Up untell now, she thought that only alicorns were immortal. Why would Celestia and Luna's parents do that. How desperate we're they that they would turn those two in to immortals.
They approached the entrance, which had a guard house next to it. The guard standing ready to excort them to the cort year, he saluted to the Generals, they returned the gesture. Inferno waved to Twilight, looking at the guard.
"Take princess Twilight here to the map room, I need to go over some things with Storm." Storm looked to him in a questioning way. The guard nodded and ask Twilight to follow him. She looked to Storm, he gave her a 'it's ok' look. Her and the guard went off.
Storm wanted for them to be out of ear shot.
"What is t..." is all he could get out before Inferno hit him in the jaw, sending him back a few steps. Storm looked up in shock.
"What the hell was that for?"
"What do you think it was for, dumb ass. You held that secret for more than a thousand years! You couldn't keep it for a enother five seconds!" Storm rubbed his sore jaw with his magic.
"Didn't need to hit me you prick."
"You remember the last time you did that." Storm looked lost, his cheek a little swollen.
"You get drunk, told the hole town our little secret. Then they tried to kill us, I saved your sorry ass, and set the place on fire. Killing elven, because of your big moth."
"Oh, ya. Dam, still didn't need to hit me, Celestia was gonna tell her any way."
"Fuck Celestia." Inferno said as he truned around, a small smile spread acrossed his face.
"Oh wait.... you all ready have." Storm gave him a flushed, angry look.
"You little..." Storm said as he tryed to kick inferno in the nuts. Inferno just laughed when Storm missed, taunting him.
"You missed."
Twilight stood before a large table with a map of Equestria and its surrounding neighbors. It looked much like the map set in the floor back a Canterlot, were the Genrals would plan for hours on end. She stood there for a while, studying the map. The rainroads, rivers, towns, forests, even mountains which were numbered.
The small room was poorly lit, a single lamp hung above the map. Several cork baords hung on the pale brown wall with other maps pinned on them. A picture of Commander Hurricane hung on the wall. Other than that there wasn't much else in the room, a cote rack in the corner next to the door, a small counter with a coffee pot setting on it.
The door opened, she turned to see who was coming in. It was the Generals, Storm seemed angry, Inferno had a small smile, which quickly vanished as he entered the room. His expression turning back to his normal pissed at the world look, 'I am gonna kick you teeth in' kind of look. Storm went to one side of the table next to Twilight. Inferno went to the other side of the table. Storm cleared his thoart.
"What are we doing here exactly?" She asked Storm who was closer to her than Inferno, and besides she didn't want to ask General Inferno a question, he was to smart ass'ed about things.
"Well you know.." Storm started "...there is many different thing involved in being a princess." He stood next to her but not looking at her as he spoke. Instead he looked at the map. Inferno spoke now from the dark corner, his eyes seemed to glow, looking at her.
"Celestia has been teaching you about the importance of friendship and the elements of harmony." His eyes were cold, the way he said about the elements even colder. She nodded.
"Yess..." she drew out the 's more than she wanted.
"Well, forget about all of that for now, we are going to teach you about the military side of the Equestria defense."
She nodded again.
"Like using the Elements of Harmony for the defense of Equestria, I brought this up with Celestia before..."
Inferno cut her off rather rudely, she was going to remind him who she was, but then she remembered what he said on the train. 'Only Luna'
"No, that is not what WE mean. We are talking about physical defense. Broader guard, missiles, ships, weapons, young colt willing to die for their home land, compared to those they are incapable for warfare."
Twilight cocked a eye brow.
"What?" She asked Inferno.
"Do you actually believe the elements can be used for warfare, because the can't, they were made for magical def..." Twilight cut Inferno off, which made her fell like she had control over him. She didn't know how wrong of a mistake that was.
"Are you saying that the Elements aren't capable of defense? What about all those villans I de with my friends, Celestia has always told me that friendship is power. What about Terk, Discord, Chrysalis. When I first used the elements on Nightmare moon I fou...."
Inferno cut her off as soon as she mentioned Nightmare. His face grew angry, his eyes that were cold now gave her a look that could kill. His voice raised, obviously pissed off by the little alicorn. Twilight suddenly had a fear of him, his name did good to his temper.
"Don't even go there! The Elements are not the most powerful item Equestria has! You finished them off so easy because no you believed you and your little friends could do it." Storm cut him off now.
"Inferno calm down..." Inferno contented to yell at the little princess.
"Your little elements are not as powerful as you think. Tell me princess what would your elements do in war, what happens when you and your friend are in a damn trench being gassed and your friends are dieing from chlorine cuase they couldn't get to their mask fast enough. And there is nothing you can do but listen them die! And you have to watch the rats eat off their rotting bodys. Or every time you go over the top, you pray that the next bullet doesn't hit you when your friend takes one in the head. Or you have to go to sleep listing to the screams of your friend that is stuck on the barbed wire as he dies, knowing there isn't a damn think you can do. And may I remind you, you didn't defeat Chrysalis, you failed! We're ready to go to defcon 1. My and Storm would have had to take things in to our own hoofs, you don't want that. You almost stared a full on war princess, WAR, some princess of friendship you would of been . THE BLOOD WOULD BE ONYOUR HOOVES!" He said as slammed his hoof on the table, cracking it. His shades falling off his face. He started at her, his eyes were two different colors. The right a light blue, the left an angry red color
Storm was next to him. Telling him to calm down. Inferno looked down at the floor.
"And you couldn't do a damn thing." Inferno shook his head. Whispering to him self. Twilight just stared in disbelief, she didn't do any thing to offend any pony, at least she thought so. But something she said ticked Inferno off. How angry he had grown in such a short period. He cracked a thick hard wood table top with such easys.
"I have to go." Inferno said as he left, slamming the door on his way out.
Twilight looked to Storm, who was now on the other side of the table, staring down.
"What was that?" She ask the other unicorn. He looked up, his eyes blank.
"That was Inferno."
