After Cobalt's parents and sister left to start their assault, Cobalt went straight to training the girls into handing them their signature weapons

"Alright girls, let's get on with your weapons of choice. Twilight, I vaguely remember you using some type of war fan. May I see it?"

"Sure thing," Twilight manifested the same unique looking fan and gave it to Cobalt.

"A fan used by only the greatest of strategists. Able to harness your mystical powers, and unleash them with a power reduction penalty. How were you able to be able to use this?"

"I don't know. I looked to see what kind of weapon would be best for me. I came across this, and decided to use the manifest spell to create it. And there it is."

"That's amazing. Good choice, and from the looks of it, you already know how to use it. Impressive as always Twilight," Twilight smiled as Cobalt moved on to the next person, who was Rainbow.

"Now Rainbow, I think I have the perfect weapon, or weapons for you."

"Huh?"

Cobalt walked off and came back with two wing like blades, "Uh, they are wing blades," Cobalt looked up, and then back down, "They allow you to glide across the field, slicing anything in your path. They're light, so they make gliding easy and doesn't hinder your speed. Try it out," Cobalt tossed the blades to Rainbow.

Once she caught them, she was surprised to see that they were light as a feather, "Wow they are light. I thought you were fibbing about the weight since you said that your halberd was a little heavy, but this is light..."

"Try gliding with it. Get a running head start, and then jump to let yourself glide...," Cobalt said this as he began backing up.

"Where are you going?!"

"Hehe, I don't have any of my powers, so I'm not risking my life just yet...," Cobalt was now out of the room, which made Rainbow extremely nervous.

Rainbow too a deep breath before running at super sonic speed, and she soon felt her feet lift from the ground. She was shocked that she was gracefully gliding across the air. She slowly brought her feet back to the ground, and ran a few steps before making a complete stop, "That... was... AWESOME!"

"We'll work more later on your speed! You won't slice through anyone going that fast!" Cobalt slowly walked in as he had some type of cannon strapped to his arm.

"Cobalt, what's that?" Sunset asked as she pointed to his arm.

"It's a mini cannon that straps to your wrist. It's multi barreled, so it can fire multiple shells in one shot. Pinkie, I'm giving you two to put on each wrist. This way, you can take out enemies from a distance. Also, when you punch with these, these cannons add a little... boom with each punch," He took off the cannon, and took out another before strapping them to Pinkie's wrist.

"So, I just pull this trigger and-," The cannons fired, and nearly shot Cobalt, but it was blocked by a force deployed by Twilight.

"Nice reaction time Twilight," She smiled as Pinkie looked at her wrists, smiling brightly.

"This is so cool! I can be like 'boom!' and like 'Pow!' to everyone! This will be awesome!" She then glanced at Cobalt who smiled back at her, "Oh, sorry Cobalt."

"Don't be, just... be careful not to shoot us with them," Cobalt then looked at Applejack, "Aj, there's something really cool I wanna give you. Doesn't really match your strength, but it sure does match your tenacity."

"What is it?"

"Look," Cobalt took out a spear that was double ended. Similar to Brisk's Dual-Blade, but it was a spear, "There's this little button that you can press to take apart these spears," Cobalt took the spears apart and twirled them around a bit before putting them back together, "Give them a try," Cobalt tossed the spear to Applejack, who caught it easily.

"So, press this button...," They came apart, and before she knew it, Cobalt ran over to Applejack, preparing to strike her with his halberd, but she blocked it with one of the spears.

"And when you block with one of them, you can strike with the other one, but you can't hesitate. If you do, they'll counter you. We'll work on it, so don't worry about it."

Cobalt stepped back as he looked at Fluttershy, "Now, for you Fluttershy, is a whip," Fluttershy looked on in confusion and said.

"I'm not a sadist Cobalt..."

"T-That's not what I'm getting at. This whip is for someone graceful, not someone... sadistic. Anyway, I know you're extremely graceful when around animals, and you're graceful all on your own. So this whip can stretch to amazing lengths to grapple enemies from far distances. The barbs on the whip are extremely sharp, and are laced with a highly toxic poison. So try it out," He handed Fluttershy the whip, and she smirked.

She extended the whip towards Cobalt, but he dodged it. She continued to do so before it finally grabbed Cobalt, and it pulled him closer to her. She smirked as he came towards her. She puckered her lips, but she waited a little too long for Cobalt to make contact with her lips. She looked up to see Cobalt in the air with a purple aura around her.

She saw Twilight, along with the others frowning at her. She chuckled nervously as a light, pink blush appeared on her face, "Sorry..."

"Anyway, Twilight, you mind healing me from the poison before it takes effect? I'll continue on while you do so," She nodded as she begun the process, "Now, lastly, for you Sunset, I have this special flame bow. I know you excel in fire magic, so I'll allow you to use this flame bow to go with your... burning ferocity. Pun intended."

Sunset scoffed at Cobalt's pun, and took the bow, "Let's see...," She pulled back the arrow, and let it go.

"Don't shoot it-!" Cobalt sighed as the arrow came in contact with the carpet, "inside...," He looked at Sunset which had an "oops" face on it, "Alright, let's put the fire out girls!" They quickly sprung into action as Cobalt watched on in happiness.

If this is how life is like after all this bullshit is over, then I'll gladly greet it with open arms...

-3 days later-

"Cobalt!" Emerald ran in, tears in her eyes. She was clearly out of breath.

"What's wrong? Where's mom and dad?!"

"They're..."

"Please... tell me what happened?"

"I saw it all happen in front of me. I couldn't do anything. Father... knocked me into the river..., and that's when I saw it happen as the current took me away. Our parents are dead Cobalt!"

Cobalt's eyes widened as he heard this news, "They're... what?"

"You heard me Cobalt... they're dead!"

Cobalt eyes let go of Emerald as he continued walking, "Not again... we've lost them. For real this time. They're gone..., and it's all my fault. I should've went with them!" Twilight looked on in surprise at the two siblings who had now lost it.

Emerald ran up to her brother and turned him around, "It was Helios! They betrayed us! We need our revenge!"

"I must do it..."

Twilight shook her head in an attempt to stop Cobalt, "Cobalt, wait... there must be-," But she couldn't.

"Yes, gather everyone here now!"

-1 hour later-

"We are waging war against Helios. They murdered my parents, and I demand retribution against them!"

One of the newer faces, Scarlet Blade stepped up, "No, we can't fight our own ally. They're all we have against Brisk and his army. Besides, waging a war for vengeance will just put more people at risk!"

"You say such a thing, and yet you wish for vengeance against one of Brisk's top generals, am I wrong? Don't give me that bullshit! Besides, they ended they're alliance when they betrayed and murdered my family. The last thing they deserve is mercy..."

"But we can't wage a war on vengeance either way! What you're doing now is vengeance before virtue!"

"Silence yourself. Prepare to march! Helios will pay for what they've done to me and my sister!"

"Cobalt wait...!" Rainbow yelled, causing him to stop, "Give it some thought then. Please, just think about what you're doing. There has to be some logical explanation as to why Helios attacked us."

"If there was an explanation, they would've given us one already. But I'll listen to you and give it some thought. I'll give one tomorrow, but don't expect me to change my mind," And then, Cobalt was off, which brings us to the chapter before.

Cobalt, now angry than ever before, finds out that his sister was murdered by her own soldiers. To add salt to the wound, they fled to Helios. Now, they move to Helios' new capitol: Dewfront. Cobalt leads an army of over 500,000 troops versus Helios' unprepared army of 200,000. Will an army led by a man fueled by vengeance defeat an army that is outnumbered? Or will an army that's prepared for something like this come out on top?

Author's Note

Next chapter will introduce a lot of new characters, all allies, so don't worry about more enemies a chapter or 2. Anyway, Scarlet Blade will be a character that will be properly introduced in the chapter after the next one. Anyway, some of these weapons are dynasty warriors inspired, but some in the weapons I thought of myself, like Pinkie's wrist cannons. Anyway, sorry for the long wait. I sort of take breaks on the weekends since it's the only time to relax after a week of work.

Also, if you're wondering where Cobalt got so man soldiers. Well, they're a mix of soldiers from his father's rehabilitated underworld army, and soldiers left over from the 2 nations subjugated by Brisk's army. Alright, I'm heading off to bed since I got work tomorrow! Good night, or good morning everyone. Good afternoon and evening. I know these are English only stories on this website, but there's people everywhere that speak English!
