Rise Of The Black Ranger

As soon as Shade, Hex and Sol reappeared they found themselves back in Shade’s throne room as Shade turned sitting back on his throne.

“Welcome to your new home Hex,” Shade calmly said pointing to a spot next to him on the floor beside the throne, “you sit here.”

“Yes, master” Hex replied as he sat beside the throne not moving an inch.

“So” He heard Sol, “What do we do now, do we call everyone in?” before they hear someone’s voice, “Won’t have to call me in” looking to the side and seeing Knila walk into view.

“I take it you were waiting after hearing that I’m moving the timetable up to deal with the cult base that had you?” Shade asked.

“Yep, haven’t had to wait too long though” Knila replied before looking towards Hex, “Who’s that?”.

“Before I start on who he is. I need to tell you some bad news Knila.”

“What is it Shade?” She asked looking at him confused.

“The cult has your brother again,” Shade stated, “And they also have Ziggy too.”

For a moment she didn’t say anything she was completely silent before Shade heard her stutter out in a whimper, “W-what?”

“The cult and the idiot next to attacked the pack he was taken in by and kidnapped both him and all of the wolves in his pack.”

Knila turned her attention to Hex who was still sitting in place a glare on her face before Shade and Sol saw her face cycle through other emotions before she let out a shaky breath tears stinging her eyes before she wiped them, “H-how are we gonna do this?” she said towards Shade.

“Well we know where they are, so we’re planning to set up a ‘military training exercise’ with Celestia and Luna right outside their base which will place us in the best position to deal with them,” Shade calmly says. “But there is one thing I think this idiot also should show you before telling you what his punishment for what he did is.”

Knila looked to Hex with a brow raised before she saw him take out a morpher her eyes widening in shock, “a Morpher?” she muttered before she heard Hex speak, “My punishment is to serve my master until the day I die to do what he wants me to do without question no matter what it is”.

Knila just looked to Hex and the morpher in confusion before looking back to Shade, “Why does he have a morpher?” she asked before going into deep thought, “Wait….is the cult making more rangers?”.

“I can’t be sure… but from the fact, that he tried to fight me using that and did transform I think they have at least succeeded with that one. And considering they had access to your morpher before you met me it’s not out of the question that they could be mass producing rangers, I mean I know they were doing it with Riders before meeting you.”

“Crap….” Knila muttered as she pinched the bridge of her nose the woman looked back to Shade as she asked, “How long do we have before we start with everything, or are we not talking about that until everyone else gets here?”.

“We just need a response back from the princesses and for Valkyrie to prepare everyone then were moving out,” Shade replies.

“Alright” Knila replied with a nod before turning her attention to Hex again, “Now how the hell did you get that morpher?”.

Hex immediately replied to her, “It was one of the rewards gave me whenever they were happy with what I gave them”.

“What you gave them?”.

“Subject’s for them to use” He responded as he then added, “Mostly the females” causing Knila to clench her fist in response.

“Another one of the rewards they gave was my former omega who turned into something that was for breeding and only breeding she acted like a mindless breeding tool who only wanted to do that and spread her legs whenever I came to her,” he said as Knila was starting to look angry before he felt a fist strike the side of his head as he hit the ground.

“Hex! Nothing else from you until I say otherwise!” Shade orders.

“Yes, master” Hex replied the marks around his neck glowing as he felt like he was being choked, as Shade glared daggers at him.

After a few moments Shade looked away as the marks faded releasing him, “When I found her she could barely speak properly. I had to do what I did to you to fix her mind… but hers was overly sexualised for a better sense of the word.”

Knila looked at Hex in disgust before shaking her head, “At least you freed her and stopped this bastard right here from continuing his reign just hate that it happened to someone else…”.

“Oh trust me he won’t be able to harm anyone like that again,” Shade responds with a hint of venom in his voice before he added, “but using that morpher of his he’s going to help destroy the cult.”

“At least he’ll be using it for something other than himself” Sol commented.

Knila meanwhile stayed silent with that same glare pointed towards Hex before sitting on the ground at a nearby wall the woman sat there for a few moments before standing herself up and walking towards Shade on his throne and sitting on his lap pressing her head against his shoulder.

“I promise we’ll get them all back safe and sound by the end of today,” Shade states as he rubs Knila’s head before she closed her eyes and nuzzled close to him. Shade then stopped a moment before calmly saying, “Say… Considering that little Hex here has agreed to be little more than an obedient pet at best do you want him? I mean it does give you a loyal ranger to work for you. I can even modify him in whatever way you want to suit your needs.”

She thought it over for a moment before replying, “I mean if he’s useful I won’t refuse extra help, In what ways would you modify him though?”.

“Coat colour, his mind and memories… with the help of a certain friend I could make him a woman. Almost anything is possible if we want it.” Shade responded, “I could even make him want to please you for the rest of his life. Make him see you as his goddess.”

Hex had wide eyes as heard Shade speak unable to say a word due to Shade's order.

“Could you make him see me as his goddess and could you make him a combination of male and female I somewhat want him to experience what his former omega experienced” Knila commented

“I think we can do that,” Shade responded, “Would you like that Hex?”

“Yes master” he heard Hex reply.

“I’ll help with the physical changes,” Harmony responds as she walks out from behind Shade’s throne looking at Hex with a smile.

Shade and Knila saw her walk up beside Hex’s body placing a paw on his back before his body begin to slowly change before their eyes.

Hex meanwhile just looked at the changes to his body with a mix of fear and shock in his eyes as he couldn’t do anything to stop it, he could only sit in place as the changes took their course, once the changes were finished Shade placed his hands on Hex’s head inputting the changes Knila had asked of him before stopping.

“Knila. Why don’t you check on your new servant.” Shade says with a smirk gesturing for Hex to come to the front of the throne.

Hex does what Shade told him to do and stood in front of the throne, “Hello Hex how do you feel?” Knila said to him.

In response, Hex beamed at her, “I feel great my goddess!” Knila looked toward him in surprise.

“What do you feel about me?” She then asked.

“I want nothing but to serve you, I live for nothing but your pleasure, if you want please tell me how I can please you” they heard him reply.

Sol meanwhile looked toward him with a raised brow from hearing Hex say this, “I'm not gonna say I didn’t expect this but it still caught me off guard”.

“Same here” Knila commented while she continued to stare at Hex who just looked at her with a smile, “Hex sit down next to the throne I’ll tell you something later once we're done with the cult”.

“Understood!” he said beaming towards her before sitting next to the throne again before hearing her say, “Hex concerning Shade you can consider him a god but that depends if he accepts you as his follower for your crimes”.

“I understand” Hex replied with a nod.

“So… regarding you new servant what do you think?” Shade whispered to Knils with a smile on his face.

“I like him” Knila replied with a smile of her own placing her head back onto his shoulder as she then pulled him into a kiss.

After a couple of seconds, Shade pulled away, “Well think of him as an early gift for your second date,” Shade added with a smirk.

She blushed giving Shade a sheepish smile in response, “T-thank you”.

“Not an issue,” Shade responded kissing her again before they heard a knock on the door before Valkyrie walked into the room.

“Lord Shade. Everyone is making their way towards the trains to prepare to move out for the ‘special operation.’” Valkyrie responded dropping to a knee and bowing to Shade, “The princesses have also said they are in the process of moving the needed personal into position.”

“Thank you Valkyrie, we will make our way there momentarily. Please make your way to the training for departure,” Shade orders as Valkyrie stands back up nodding his head before leaving.

“Is there anything you would have me do Shade?” He heard Sol ask.

Shade paused looking at Sol before calmly saying, “Do you think you would be able to help in any way to stop the cult or get the others out safely?”

“If you would have me, I would be glad to be of assistance to you” Sol replied.

“If you could it would help. I want you to go with Knila, she’s got a deeply personal task to accomplish and will need all the help she can get.” Shade stated.

“Of course” So responded with a nod, “I’ll do the best I can to help”.

“Wait why is he coming with me specifically?” Shade heard Knila ask.

“Because your less likely to get into a large-scale fight than I will be, and most of the wolfs they took were pregnant females… which means your children and them could be near eachother.” Shade explained.

She took a moment to think about what he said before nodding “I understand”.

“As agreed 5 days ago you will be going with AS-001-SH1 as he knows the locations they were held and are to try and capture any scientists alive who could be useful.” Shade calmly said before gesturing for Knila to get off him.

She got off his lap and walked off the throne allowing Shade to get onto his feet, “Alright is there anything else we need to know or is that it?”.

“Well maybe give you new servant their orders. So he… she… whatever you class them as now can assist you,” Shade suggests.

“Hex you will be accompanying us to take care of the cult and help save individuals who were kidnapped am I clear?” Knila said to Hex who nodded towards her “Loud and clear!” Knila heard them say in reply.

“Alright good” Knila spoke before looking back to Shade with a nod and saying, “You ready to go then?

“Of course,” Shade responded standing up from his throne before walking towards the door, as the others followed close behind.

Once the group had arrived at the train the group entered as they find Nadine waiting outside for them, “Ready to get this show on the road?” the woman could be seen wearing a black overcoat with armour placed in the vital areas with glowing neon pieces inlaid into the shoulders of it as well as greyish black pants and combat boots.

“I am,” Shade responded walking towards the front of the train opening a door and walking inside gesturing for them to follow him inside, as the group do as he asks.

Once they are inside they found that he had led them into the main train itself as he sat on the seat at the very front as red lights filled the room before a voice calmly said, “Welcome Kamen Rider Shade, as an eye-shaped symbol appeared on the roof above his seat.

“I would suggest you get some seats of your own,” Shade suggests gesturing for Knila to take the one nearest to him as she that sitting herself down while Hex sat on one of the seats that was near her as well

As the two of them sat down they heard the same voice that had responded to Shade sitting say, “new operators located. Please place new power sources for authorisation.”

Knila just raised her brow confused before going into her coat and bringing out her morpher and engine cell, “I'm supposed to put my engine cell in here right?” she asked before the console in front of her seemed to respond as two slots appeared one that looked to fit her morpher the second to slot the Engine cell into.

“That answers my question” She commented before she inserted her morpher and engine cell into the console, “Hex you do the same,” she said as Hex placed their respective morpher and engine cell into the console.

“New power sources identified. Scanning information,” the voice responded, “Welcome Ranger Operator Series Pink and Ranger Operator Series Brown.” The space above their heads then changed as two RPM symbols appeared above their heads, one pink and the other brown.

“Huh, neat” Knila commented saying a phrase that Dillon would frequently say as Shade kept his attention on the console in front of him.

“Do you want me to start on the new vehicles for the Shade Gattai?” the voice responded before Shade pressed a button on his console.

“Shade Gattai, what’s that?” Nadine asked curiously.

“Nadine… what do you know of either Super Sentai or Power Rangers?” Shade asked looking at Nadine.

“Almost next to nothing, my parents never really let me watch stuff they didn’t deem good for my developing mind as a child as well as other things, you can tell how that made me turn out”

“What do you know of it then?” Shade asked.

“Other than the toys that were made based on….” She paused going into her thoughts before saying, “Zord’s yeah those big mechs, over the years I would see some media of it but not enough to have a faint knowledge of it though”.

“You have your answer on what it is then,” Shade responded as the train began to move.

“Huh that makes a lot of sense” she replied as she sat back down as everyone felt the train slowly gain speed before she and Knila immediately spoke up in unison, “Wait a minute this is a Zord!?”.

“Well technically even by itself it's a full Megazord but yes it is a Zord,” Shade responded acting like it wasn’t something important.

“Where’d you even get this thing in the first place?” He heard Knila ask.

“Let's just say someone attacked us in the past, and I commandeered this thing from them.” Shade responds calmly, “and then did some refitting of it to suit my needs.”

“At least you were able to make use of it” Knila replied before smiling, “I feel like Jason would think this would be cool”.

“I would have thought considering what you both became that you would have all used a Zord in the past right?”

“Something happened with the enemy that led us to be unable to use them it was like a form of emp that kept them out of commission for a while most of us had used our’s previously but Jason hadn’t at that point…and you know the rest of the story” she responded.

“Yeah I do,” Shade responded, “I hope they never got ahold of those things.”

“I hope they didn’t either” she replied.

It was silent for a few moments before Knila heard Nadine speak up, “Hey Knila want to know what I was doing for the past five days?”.

“Given your track record of nonsense probably not”

“Well I was just playing for the five days and enjoyed every moment of it, especially every time I was pet as a reward,” Nadine said as she went into more detail about it causing Knila’s eyes to twitch slightly and while this went on her hair could be seen rising before going towards Nadine’s mouth and covering it, “Nadine honey as much as I am happy you got to enjoy yourself please keep those minor details to yourself id rather not see that image in my head when I close my eyes”.

Nadine gave some muffled protests before sighing and gave a muffled “Fine…” as Knila uncovered her mouth.

She looked like she was about to say something but thought about it for a moment and decided to keep it to herself and sat back on one of the seats causing Shade to chuckle at her, “Try to keep that enthusiasm for your rewards under control okay.”

“Yeah, yeah…..” Nadine mumbled in response as she and Knila sat in their respective seats quiet before Knila turned to Hex, “Alright Hex to be clear right now if you do your job correctly I’ll reward you later I'm not gonna tell you what it is now alright” she said as the only response she got from Hex was an excited nod.

“You know he’d be more motivated if you actually tell him the reward” She heard Nadine comment as Knila just sighed, “I hate that your right,” she said as she then went to Hex and said, “If your able to do your job well enough once everything is done with I’ll….allow you to have release when you and I have one on one time and Nadine don’t even think about saying it”.

“Aw you're no fun”

“Am I understood Hex?” She then asked getting an excited nod from the wolf.

“Alright, Shade how long til we get to the place?” Knila asked as went back to her seat.

“Look out the window. We should be flying in now,” Shade states as everyone then looked out from their respective windows to see that the train was not even on the group and that they seemed to be in the sky. The town below looks like tiny specs to them, “Their base is hidden by the gorge just ahead with a few hidden exits spread across the landscape. We’re meeting the princesses in the clearing nearby.”

“Got it” Knila replied before she and Shade heard Nadine speak again, “Wait a minute, is this thing flying?”.

“Yes, the train is flying somewhat. It can create rails anywhere below its wheel without them being there before,” Shade responds. “You don’t have a fear of heights I hope.”

“No, it’s more of anxiety if anything but I can manage” She replied as she stopped looking out of the window as the train continued going until the clearing that Shade mentioned was close enough so that they can start landing.

“We’re almost there, I would recommend you all get back in your seats.” Shade calmly said as the train slowly began moving downwards.

Any one of them who weren’t in their seats sat back down as the train went down to the clearing and after what seemed like a minute or two everyone looking out the windows saw the train land down on the ground, the area they were in being surrounded by large tents with ponies in white and gold armour moving around the area.

Once the train came to a complete stop Shade stood up, “You two will want to get your morphers and Engine cells back before we go.”

Knila and Hex nod as they grab their morphers from their respective consoles as they as well as everyone else stood up from their seats and began to follow Shade out of the train.

Once the group was outside the train they saw creatures of many shapes and sizes leaving the other carriages many carrying tents which they began pitching mirrors those of the guards that had been present when they arrived.

Standing outside the door were both Celestia and Luna the latter of the two instantly grabbing Shade and pulling him into a hug before looking to Knila, “Are you doing okay? I heard about what happened.”

She gave them a half-hearted wave in response “I’ll manage I’ll be ok once we get everyone out of there”

“Well, I can see that you are both rather friendly with eachother… I assume you snuck out one night and ignored your duties recently,” Celestia responded looking at Luna who rubbed her head in embarrassment.

“I may have gone to visit Al- I mean Shade a few nights ago. I met her during that night.” Luna responded.

“And she’s a human… How many of them are there now?” Celestia asked looking at Luna.

“More than you would expect,” Shade says.

“Oh definitely not even accounting for the amount the cult may have if the three you saved account of anything… like the one there,” Luna added pointing at Nadine, “You look different when your not wearing that spiked collar.”

“I can’t always have myself look like that” Nadine replied with a chuckle keeping her gaze away from Knila who was looking dead at her after Luna mentioned the collar.

“You do seem to enjoy the extra in your dreams as well,” She added with a chuckle, “that dream of you with Shade was enjoyable to watch two nights ago. If you remember it that is. You did stay rather… intimate with him.”

Nadine in response just let out a nervous chuckle as Knila continued to stare at her with a piercing gaze, “Intimate huh….”.

“If we have time I would love to tell you about them. I’m sure as two of Shades lovers you would love to see how others see him in their dreams.” Luna responded with a smirk.

Knila just stayed quiet while Nadine quietly attempted to step away from Knila immediately stopping her by grabbing her with her hair, “I wouldn’t mind having a conversation like that with you she wouldn’t either right Nadine?”.

“Y-yeah I wouldn’t mind” Nadine stuttered out in a nervous tone.

“I’m sure I can make time later,” Luna responds with a smirk.

“What’s wrong Nadine why are you so nervous your so usually so flamboyant what’s changed?” Nadine heard Knila say to her not looking her in the face but even then she could feel them smirking at her.

“As much as I enjoy watching you lot talk about this I believe we have important matters to discuss,” Celestia calmly says, “Shall we head towards the main tent to go through everything?”

“That may be for the best,” Shade responded with a nod, “Please lead the way.”

“Of course. And I would love to catch up with you once this is all over. I have a lot I need to discuss with you,” Celestia calmly said with her normal smile before beginning to walk towards a tent further into the camp.

“When this base is torn down, I’m sure we’ll get plenty of time to speak about your feeling for Shade,” Luna responded tapping Nadine’s back with her hand before kissing Shade and following Celestia.

Nadine just stayed quiet with a blush on her face Knila chuckling at her expense, “You know I think I might get used to this it's actually kind of entertaining to see you like this” Knila stated as she continued to hold Nadine in her hair as she followed behind them with Hex keeping his attention on her but with every few seconds could be seen glancing around the area but for the most part, just kept his attention on her.

Shade’s eyes glanced around the area one more time as he saw both AS-001-SH1 and Twilight whose face was hidden under a white rabbit-shaped mask walking toward him before they walked just behind him before dropping to one knee.

“Lord Shade we await your orders,” both of them responded at the same time.

“Follow me,” Shade ordered before walking after the group as both AS-001-Sh1 and Twilight followed behind him.

Once the group reached the tent they walked inside finding it to have a large table inside with three seats at the top of it. Each has a large symbol engraved into the top, the first a Moon, the second a Sun and the last being a red eye.

“That looks cool,” Nadine could be heard commenting as she was then placed back onto the ground as she then felt Knila’s hair unwrap from her body.

“So what’s the plan?” Knila asked as she saw them sit down on the seats.

“Well, I suppose that partially depends on you,” Luna calmly says, “I have been told that you were under the cult's control for a period, and of the amount, they took from you.”

“In which case, it leaves us with a few options,” Celestia responded pointing to a map of the area they were in.

“The first plan would be to use your robot here to get you into the base before everything else and try and locate any important targets to save or deal with.” Luna calmly said, “That would mean you going in with him and likely acting as if you are still their puppet to gain access… but there is a chance you would need to act like you still are and do what they say… no matter how horrific it is.”

“The second is a full frontal assault but considering the fact we don’t know their numbers or current resources, there is a high chance of my ponies getting killed during it,” Celestia says.

“The third is… we pack up and leave those inside to their fates,” Twilight responds coldly.

“Piss off we're not doing that” Knila snarled out with a glare before sighing, “How long do you think we would have to be in there for this to work?” She then asked referring to Luna’s plan.

“You're actually thinking of doing that!?” Nadine shouted.

“If it means there won’t a lot of casualties then yes I am” Knila replied.

“...You remember what they had you do in the past… right?” Shade asked looking at Knila, “Chances are they’ll have you do that again.”

He could see her clench her fist for a moment before she nodded, “Y-yeah I know”.

“You still remember how to act under the influence of the cult I assume,” Twilight asked Knila.

“You don’t really forget that after being around them for so long” Knila muttered in reply.

“Give me your best act then,” Twilight replied with a smirk under her mask, “try and convince your former head scientist that you are still under their control.”

Knila just rolled her eyes before the group noticed her demeanour changed her more calm stature turning stiff and her eyes having a lifeless look to them “Standing by for orders….” She then blankly said her voice devoid of any emotion from before and hadn’t wavered at all for each word, it was like it was muscle memory.

“HU-RPM-P1. It’s time for your ‘special’ session. Are you ready?” Twilight asked seemingly continuing with her act.

“Affirmative” they heard her quickly reply the woman then standing at ease.

“Okay then, please… prepare yourself for your mate,” Twilight respond before she was struck by three beams of magic sending her to the ground.

“Twilight! Shut it!” Shade shouted in an angry tone in his voice while both Celestia and Luna glared at the mare.

Shade had noticed that Knila hadn’t moved her eyes still the blank look to them it was like she was in a trance as they saw her shakily bring her hand to her cloak.

“Knila… what are you doing?” Shade asked his eye still following her movements. She didn’t say anything only grasping onto her cloak and looking like she was about to tear it off along with what was under it before he grabbed her hands stopping her, “Knila. You’ve proved your point.”

In the next moment, he saw her blink her eyes the life returning to them, “W-what just happened?”.

“Knila… just confirm with us… that was part of an act and that you didn’t truly fall under their sway properly,” Shade asked.
“At first but after the second thing my body went on autopilot”

“So to confirm this… if you go in and they say any kind of specific trigger you may end up fully doing as they say without a way to snap yourself back to your senses,” Luna points out.

“And that includes going through with what she just told you to do?” Celestia adds pointing at Twilight who was getting back to her feet.

Knila just gave them a quiet nod in reply the woman feeling her hands shake.

“If you do this… There is a high chance they will do that to you again… and you will be used again like cattle,” Shade warned her, “are you positive you want to risk it?”

“Yeah…I’m positive”

“You’ll truly be putting your body on the line this way,” AS-001-SH1 stated, “and depending on how things go… you could end up fully aware of what they do this time, and feel it happen.”

“I know, I wouldn’t be doing this if it didn’t mean I could help those in that place get out” Knila responded.

Celestia and Luna both looked at Shade before focusing on Knila before Celestia calmly says “Miss if this goes wrong… You may never get free again. I hope you understand that.”

“And I'm willing to take that risk” Knila replied adding, “Jason would want me to keep going if it meant this plan works”.

“Okay. So we go with that first,” Shade responds, “Thanks to Twilight we know all of the nearby hidden entrances and exits they can use to escape as such I want us to have the mock skirmishes taking place near them if anyone tries to use them to run we should be able to capture them or track them down.”

“And while you all manage that side of things I will be inside with Knila and the others hopefully I’ll be able to prevent any active tests from harming anyone and free the other captives.” Shade adds.

“If I may add something to this. They use a specific method of transferring completed subjects to their final destinations,” AS-001-SH1 calmly said, “If they plan to transfer them to a new base elsewhere in Equestria they store them in large wooden boxes, normally drugged and use specialised bondage equipment to keep them quiet to avoid detection. If you want to sneak out a high-priority target without anyone knowing it may be an effective way to do so.”

“Could that be used to sneak the other subjects out as well?”

“In theory yes… but…” Twilight began to say before pausing.

“The boxes are very small… and if the said subject has been stored in a cell or cramped space for as long as most were I doubt they will willingly be placed in one and considering what those things are like I doubt it would be pleasant… they keep screens in them to ensure they are fully brainwashed by the time they are unpacked.” AS-001-SH1 explains, “If you place someone you want to save in them you’ll end up with a Cult solder by the time you release them.”

“Of course, if you waited to place someone you wanted to torture after Lord Shade or myself gets to it we could change it for some rather… fun experiences for your victims,” Twilight adds. “There was one box that places them in a rubber suit and sucks all the air out of the box and only lets them breathe in a special air lased compound that makes them highly… sensitive in specific parts of their bodies. Of course, the suit prevents them from getting any satisfaction from it whatsoever.”

“Why does that even exist?” Nadine commented.

“It was made to control a specific race that could feed off Lust. It used their feeding method to power the suit and screens keeping them in a docile loop until they arrived at where they needed to be,” Twilight explained.

In response, the woman just shook her head disgust on her face before she said, “Alright just so I can switch my thoughts to something else if they get to the subjects the way they would get out was from those hidden entrances you mentioned right?”.

“It would be the only way they could unless they used the main entrance,” Twilight responded, “but even then if we are already attacking they are more likely to force them to defend them rather than flee the labs without their research.”

“And to ensure they can’t. I’ll just need to get access to their systems and I can shut down their external communications and prevent them from getting any information out of the labs.” AS-001-Sh1 adds, “and considering that they keep records of all their breeding stocks in a computerised system I can use that once we reach them.”

“So no one else would be any the wiser to what was going on in there?” Knila asked.

“Exactly, and if we could keep the systems intact we could transfer it all back to my lab to repurpose for other uses,” Twilight adds, “besides… there are a few scientists who I would like some… personal sessions with.”

“Part of me wants to feel bad for what you plan to do them but I really don’t after what they did to me and so many others” Nadine commented.

After a moment they then heard Hex speak up and ask, “What would you have me do?”.

“I honestly don’t know if you can come with us I doubt they would let you inside” Knila replied.

“Considering that my absence needs an explanation to them… I could try and spin it… I mean currently, they know we failed to capture your brother… but he did complete the mission. I could claim I agreed to get him a reward if he finished my mission for me,” AS-001-SH1 suggested.

“So we can have him inside with us since they most likely would be inclined to agree after they got my brother back”.

“It would depend on what reward we have him claim to receive.”

They then heard Sol speak up, “If anything he could say that Hex is being given a second wolf as a gift since his last reward was his former omega, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched”.

They then saw Hex shake his head as he said “I only need my goddess”.

“Hex your not getting a second wolf it’s just so we can get you inside the place alright” Knila clarified to him as he then gave a nod in understanding.

“So if he gets inside with us where do we have him go?” Knila then asked.

“Well… If he’s getting a second wolf to breed… I would imagine they would be kept near to the human breeding stock so they can all be monitored at once.” AS-001-SH1 responds, “So he would stay with us as I lead you there.”

“That's good if it goes smoothly enough we’ll have him with us and once AS-001-Sh1 gets access to the systems no word will get out and no backup will be sent” Knila muttered before asking, “Anything else that we missed?”.

“I don’t there is” Sol commented as they then looked to the princesses and Shade.

“We will stay out here and keep appearances up while you start this,” Celestia responds.

“Just make sure that once you save your little ones I can see them,” Luna adds smiling at Knila.

“Will do” Knila replied nodding towards her with a smile.

“You better all get yourself ready. Once you start there no going back,” Celestia calmly states, “I wish you all luck.”

“And a lot of misfortune for anyone that meets you Shade!” Luna responds with a smile.

“Trust me… anyone who does meet me won’t be having a good life after,” Shade states as he stands up, “The rest of you. Let's get started.”

“Yes, Lord Shade!” Both AS-001-SH1 and Twilight shouted once again dropping to one knee before standing and walking out of the tent.

“Roger that!” Nadine replied with a nod as she also walked out of the tent while Knila stood there in silence an image of her brother showing in her mind before she took a breath and did the same as Nadine with Hex and Sol not too far behind her.

“Shade we wish you-” Celestia began to say turning her head to find that he had disappeared, “He always does that.”

“And you still don’t catch him each time,” Luna responds with a chuckle.

“Let's just play our parts right and help him this time,” Celestia responds as both sisters nod to eachother standing up and leaving the tent.
