New guy at CHS: The Mystic Realm

Meanwhile, Rarity woke to see herself inside a jail cell. She still had her normal attire, but she was behind bars, "Where am I?"

"Finally awake I see, about time. The Commander would like to speak to you for a moment."

"I don't understand. What's going on?"

"Shut up, and come with me," the jail cell opened, and the man grabbed Rarity. She soon felt her vision blur out before falling back asleep.

Meanwhile, back on the field of battle, they began their plan. Cobalt led the retreat, and he did it well, "There's no reason to fight the losing battle. Everyone retreat!" Cobalt's army began retreating from battle.

"Commander, Cobalt's army is retreating. We shall give pursuit!" A young officer told the Commander of Helios.

"Hm, even with such a large army, an army led by anger just won't stand a chance. Push them, make them regret their decision."

The Helios army began their push. Everything was going exactly as planned.

"Rear guard, protect the retreat!" The rear guard all nodded with Pinkie getting ready to push on top of Angel. Cobalt stopped beside Twilight and smiled at her, "A good strategy can be the turning point to any battle. Is Sunset and her men in position?"

"Yes, we have both fire users, and archers ready to burn the enemy to a crisp."

"Great, she knows when, correct?"

"Right."

Now all they could do was wait. With Cobalt's army all immune to fire thanks to a spell Twilight did, they can easily push through the blaze without hassle.

Sunset got ready in a nearby bush with her bow in hand, along with a large group of soldiers, they were prepared, "Here they come... go!" All of the hidden jumped out to catch the enemy off guard. The shot out embers of fire, along fire arrows to ignite the area.

"If only we had northeastern wind to blow the fire further into enemy territory."

"Did someone say wind?" Sunset looked up to Fluttershy leading a large flock of birds. Both mystical and regular. Fluttershy began whistling to them, and then the birds began flapping their wings. The gusts of wind sent the fire further into the enemy camp.

"No, have we just been dancing to their tune?" The same young soldier asked.

"Hm, this looks like a last minute strategy. They must have a strategist who has years of experience on the battlefield..."

"Cobalt, I didn't think strategy would work. I was second guessing myself at first, but I'm glad it's working...," Twilight sighed in relief as Cobalt chuckled beside her.

"It's not over yet. We still have to make our push. The rest of you let's get moving! The rear guard will catch up to us soon!" Everyone nodded as Cobalt pushed his way through the fire with ease, "Our army will rise against Brisk and Helios. Today is the day!"

Cobalt's army followed behind him as he pushed to the enemy main camp. The Helios Commander surrendered without hassle.

They surrendered so easily. He knew that with our surprising strategy, he didn't have a chance. We had managed to capture both him, and his young strategist. He's smart for surrendering a battle he couldn't win. However, if this was over the water, we possibly wouldn't even have come close to winning... Now, we must get answers from them.

"Cobalt, the Commander is ready to speak," Cobalt nodded as he headed towards the enemy commander and his strategist, who were tied up. Twilight followed behind Cobalt, possibly to calm him if he ever got mad.

"Now, I need to know why you betrayed us, and murdered my family."

The Commander was taken off guard at this, "What are you talking about? Is this really what this whole was about?"

"Yes, you betrayed my family when they asked for your help. They were killed, along with some of my men that killed my sister, and fled here. You should know!" Cobalt stepped closer, but Twilight grabbed his shoulder. He calmed himself before continuing, "Why did you betray us?"

"We didn't betray you. We didn't even make it to the battle to help your parents Cobalt. We were stopped by Brisk's men on our way there."

"Huh? Then how do you explain the soldiers dressed as your men," The Commander took time to think, and then his eyes widened.

"Those were Brisk and his men. He attacked our navy, and captured some of our boats. He must've had his men put on our uniform, and attack your parents during their assault. We were coming to help, but we were attacked by Brisk. We probably didn't notice one of our boats being taken..."

"Wait, did Brisk do this in order to pit us against each other?" Cobalt looked at Twilight as she had a worried look on her face.

"Cobalt, we have a problem..."

Meanwhile, Rarity woke up again to be strapped to a chair in a darkened room, "Where am I?"

"Why, you're where my plan will come to fruition," Rarity turned towards the voice. The voice was Brisk.

"What are you doing?! I thought you were going to try and marry me!"

"No, that was just a ploy. I don't plan to marry a skank like you," Rarity grew extremely furious at the derogatory term, "What? Not of fan of that? Ha, doesn't matter. I'm just preparing something on you right now...," Brisk took out a piercing gun, much to Rarity's fear.

"W-What do you plan to do with that?"

"Tagging you... hehehehe," Brisk got closer to Rarity, causing to hyperventilate heavily. Before...

Meanwhile, Cobalt had already untied the Commander of Helios, and were already back in the old capitol building with them, "Brisk played us like a fiddle. He wanted us to destroy each other so that he wouldn't have to worry about any competition. Sneaky bastard..."

"Cobalt, we can't attack him at all yet. We lost over 60% of our troops in that battle, and our morale is just too low. The same goes for Helios," Twilight stated, "If we attempt to attack now, there'd be no chance that we'll come out the victor. The best thing we can do now is wait, and gather up more men. You know, take time to rebuild before attempting to attack again..."

"You're right, but I just can't let Rarity be with that man. How can we rebuild with zero resources?"

"Just give it time... I know Rarity will be fine..."

But little did she know, there was something much more to Brisk taking Rarity as his... "bride".
