Damocles woke up sweating and breathing heavily as he felt the train lurch as it stopped before a steam whistle blew signifying it was at its destination. Virulent opening the door was met with Damocles staring at him in the face.

"So... Did you sleep well, Sir?" Virulent asked.

"Nope. Come on, Virulent. We need to get our gear and start on the days tasks." Damocles stated as Virulent moved out of the door frame. Veil, Satin, and Eclipse were already moving the luggage onto one of the temporary trolleys. "I see you're all ahead of the job... Good work. Lets get this show on the road." He declared as he got up and moved out of the train. The others looked at one another sharing a look of confusion.

As Damocles stepped out he was met with a thunderous applaud and a huge welcoming committee equipped with balloons, Confetti Cannons and a banner that says "Welcome to Ponyville." Strangely enough the elements weren't there. Spike however was with a brown coated mare with silver hair and glasses.

"Captain Damocles Meteora, The Centurion of the New Regiment. I Spike have been sent on behalf of the Elements of Harmony to introduce you to Ponyville. Along with Mayor Mare, to assist in making sure your set up runs smoothly." The Dragon said very proudly and diplomatically.

"Good Afternoon Sir, It is an Honor to have you with us. I look forward to working with you." She said smiling. Damocles however stood unusually stoic, and straight faced until a quick shake of his head allowed him to regain his senses. Immediately he stood at attention and saluted the Mare.

"Good afternoon Ma'am and Drake, thank you all for the warm welcome." He smiled as she gave civilian salute allowing him to relax a bit. "If this is the normal hospitality Ill have to see here in Ponyville then I might just have to make sure to book a few visits to the Dentist, because of how sweet you all are I worry I'll get a few cavities." Damocles tried to make a joke. which only got a few groans and some slight snickers at how bad the joke was.

"Right, well let us get moving so we can take care of everything." Mayor Mare stated with a forced smile. before stepping closer and speaking privately. "Your Unique Situation has been made aware of me and your Teacher Ms. Cheerilee is waiting at the location we have selected for your barracks. Welcome to your new home Damocles." She stated happily as she and spike turned to walk away. Damocles smiled and nodded before turning back to his squad.

"Veil as always you are acting officer until I return. Secure the gear, Secure the resources and meet me at the crystal tower. I..." Damocles shuddered as his voice became filled with dread and annoyance, "have paperwork." This drew a laugh from virulent and Eclipse. Smiling he turned and followed the Mayor as he used his wing to put Spike on his back.

"So, Officer Damocles we have selected a total of 3 different Ideal locations. Based off of recommendations made by The elements of Harmony. Of which, Twilight sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, are already waiting for us. Pinkie would like to apologize as she she is babysitting and will setting up the 'Welcome Party' later, Rarity is busy with something else in her shop as well." Mayor Mare stated Dryly.

"She's setting up your formal Dress attire at Princess Luna's request, along with trying to design your new armor. Princess Luna had informed her of how they looked at your home world and shes been on a creation and design binge." Spike said in Matter-of-fact tone.

"Their situations are understandable. I would like to formally thank the both of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules, I know this is more than unexpected on all accounts." Damocles stated calmly. "I will admit I wasn't expecting such a warm welcome when my unit and I first arrived. I hope we aren't being too much of a burden on you." They rounded the corner before entering the doors.

"Officer Damocles, please you needn't be so apologetic." Mayor Mare stated gently as she held the door open. "Unlike most situations your's is very unique and I am happy to say that its a breath of fresh air. Not to mention most military types are generally a stick in the mud with how strict they are. Also I would like to thank you for putting that brute Blue Blood into his place. I do regret that I could not attend, was informed that you went... oh how do the kids of today say it? That you went 'Ham' On him?" She couldn't help but giggle at that.

Soon we approached her office and sitting there was none other than Princess Twilight and Miss Cheerilee. The latter of whom was looking a bit more than upset and the former with her signature nervous smile.

"Twilight!" Spike said enthusiastically as he ran up to her. The two shared a brief hug before pulling away. "What are you doing here?"

"I was asked here to help mediate the Distress Miss Cheerilee has about having Damocles in her class." She said eyeing the pony in question.

"I'm sorry is there an issue with my presence?" He said hesitantly. Mayor Mare took this moment to take a seat followed by Damocles doing the same looking at the School Teacher.

"Honestly, yes. I have do have a few issues I would like to Address as an educator." Cheerilee's voice matched the look she had. Damocles could only nod as he gestured with his hoof for her to continue.

"Please, I wish to know what troubles you to see if we can come to a compromise and if there is anything i can do to help assist or alleviate any of the issues you may have." His voice moving to a new tone, one that caused Spike, Twilight and Mayor Mare to blink to understand what just happened.

"Very well then. The first Issue I have is that you are a stallion who appears to be in his Adolescence, and is naturally violent, I feel would be a bad influence to my students."

"I understand your concern, and you are correct I am naturally violent as that is how my home is. The rule of my home is 'Survival of the Fittest' after all. I know that as a stranger my word means nothing to you, and given what I have done to myself within the first week of being here and by the psychological evaluations given by my direct nurse, Nurse Tender Heart, if I were to attempt to say otherwise I would be wasting my breath." Damocles Paused as Cheerilee straightened up and lost the look of displeasure and replaced it with one of confusion. Continuing he stated, "Now I'm sure all of you are probably wondering at this point 'Why the hay is he saying what he is saying? Is he trying to ruin his chances?' I assure I am not. I am stating the obvious and being as honest as i can about this situation. As I've come to learn Ponies such as yourselves value Honesty as one of the greatest virtues one can have. To further this I shall perform.." Damocles gave a sigh of slight annoyance, "A 'Pinkie Promise' that I will refrain from any Violent Actions while attending and around any of the Foals and Fillies of the school, Unless a situation arises in which I should need to move to protect them and the establishment. To further this Promise I'll add on that Unless Requested or given permission specifically by anyone with authority that during the times I attending the classes, I.e. you Miss Cheerilee, my wings will remain in the normal state, as just my wings. Would this satisfy your worries regarding the first issue until my actions and words prove to have some pittance of Value to all those here?" Damocles looked around at the everypony and Spike for any sign of denial. All of them Nodded their heads yes save for spike.

"Dude... Where you a Lawyer or Lobbyist or something from where you came from?" Spike said with a short laugh. This was followed with the others laughing at the statement. Damocles then performed the required actions.

"Ok Now for the second issue. You are unable to write in equestrian as of yet, nor are you able to read it, yet you speak it so clearly. So you will not be getting a Recess like the other students. Is that understandable?" Damocles nodded. "Good and Finally, And i want to stress this to you. There will be no excuse for you being late to my class, there will be no tolerance for any bullying, and while your in my class unless there is a potential crisis your Unit is to remain away from the school, and you have no rank or social status in the class. I don't want any 'oh I'm a prince so I don't need to do this' ok mister?" Cheerilee began to glare at Damocles the moment she finished her sentence almost in his face.

"Miss Cheerilee, May I make a statement?" Damocles requested as he looked at the mare. Backing up a moment she simply nodded. "Ranks social statuses and what not are nothing to me. I would offer the same table spot and food for anyone that entered my home Be they prince or pauper. There is a forgotten saying from my time as a child that my father... instilled in me. 'Treat others the way you want to be treated.' When I am attending classes you are the presiding authority and my superior officer, it would take Luna herself to come and say otherwise."

"And I wouldn't, as you are very much right Damocles." Luna's voice was said from behind me both tired and excited. Everyone turned their heads to look at the present Princess. "And I thought I made it expressively Clear for you to refer to me as your mother."

"P-Princess Luna!" Spike suddenly said before all other currently present suddenly moved and bowed before her. Luna gestured for them to rise before chuckling mirthfully. Moving towards the rest.

"Young Spike, as of this moment until my child is properly situated i am not a Princess. I am only his mother. As per our agreement from before hand, Damocles must be under supervision of a princess at all times. And a thought occurred to me that because of him building a new military outpost Twilight would be unable to full perform her duty unless she inhibited him from doing his duty. I figured this way it would be easily covered as I could take my duty as your mother seriously. Would this satisfy all parties of any issues? To know that this ones mother is in the area?" She ended the statement with a great smile while gesturing to Damocles after she sat. Damocles couldn't help but laugh at the stunned looks of everyone in the room.

"I can't believe i thought I would've gotten away with it... What gave it away Nightingale?" Damocles looked at his mother with an honest smile.

"Oh nothing till just now, my child, you gave it away this was a ploy. And its mother, mom, or mommy. I will not repeat myself lest I have to punish you." Luna said sternly a triumphant look upon her features. Spike began to laugh at the spectacle as Mayor Mare rubbed her temples before pushing a stack of papers towards Luna.

"Just sign the papers to approve your home and him enrolled, please." Luna nodded before her horn glowed and she began to look over everything before signing the papers.

"So you both intend on living in Ponyville?" Twilight asked, "I'm sorry its just, Don't you need to take care of stuff in Canterlot Princess Luna?" Luna smiled softly.

"Twilight, I have covered this with my sister and since Damocles will essentially be a cousin to you, and more importantly, a nephew to Celestia, and Son to myself I felt it would be best if we established a proper familial relationship before he feels neglected and begins his path of solitude again." Luna said calmly. "As for living in Ponyville it will be on of his main areas. My sister agreed with me in thinking it would be best if he experience the different locations of all the princesses." She gave back the paper work to Mayor Mare.

"Dude they are talking like you aren't even here." Spike said looking at Damocles as he slouched in his chair. All the stallion could do was nod in annoyance to young dragon.

"So should anything arise such as issues with discipline, behavior or grades I may contact you directly?" Cheerilee stated with a growing smile. Luna merely nodded happily before yawning heavily.

"Now, Damocles let us go see the location where our home shall be built!" Luna declared in a soft Royal Canterlot Voice as she stood all but dragging the stallion with her. A thousand yard stare on his face as he did all he could to not blush. Twilight following with spike on her back the both of them holding back their laughter. Mayor Mare and Cheerilee both were left the room. A heavy sigh erupted from the mayor as she opened a desk drawer pulling out two shot glasses and a large crystal bottle of alcohol pouring herself one and one fore the Teacher. Both took a glass before drinking it.

"its going to be a long one." Cheerilee said just before Mayor Mare let her head hit her desk before reaching over to press a button hidden from most ponies view by stacks of papers.

"Daisy? Cancel the rest of the appointments for today... Thank you."
