Everything was completely silent. What Celestia just said didn't dawn on her yet. She just declared war. On the Cog. Republik. They have a fucking protocol for this: Protocol 17, jokingly called 'Sunbutt Protocol' by the soldiers and Blood Specters. This protocol is a level EX event, and instantly causes all military personnel to prepare for the worst, and it's not the Elements Of Harmony. It's if Equestria gains access to Flip-Side due to the permanently open portal, it could destroy that alternate dimension. "Celestia." Shane said in a deadpan. "Seriously think about what you're doing. You could cause a Level EX event."

"What does Level EX mean?" She responded.

"Level Extinction."

"Great. Guards, kill him!" He got up, scooping Luna in his arms, and running at his full speed, boosted by the Exoskeleton he's wearing, making run at up to 5 kph. He keyed his radio.

"Shane to base! Enact Protocol 17! I repeat, enact Protocol 17! Celestia has declared war!" He waited for a response, while running away. He could kill them, but Celestia might actually do something, and that's a chance he can't take.

"Oh god....Holy shit, I never thought this would happen!" A voice crackled over the radio.

"Me neither! Before this, Princess Luna agreed to give us the food, but that's what pissed Celestia off! She must've been expecting Princess Luna to say no! I'm returning with Princess Luna. She's signed the papers and is now a citizen by the name of Midna. Celestia yelled at her, meaning she emotionally hurt a citizen of the Republik! We can declare war."

"Wait, are you being chased?"

"Yes! There are 4 guards after me! I'd kill them, but I'd risk Celestia doing something! Can you get a sniper?"

"Yes. Hang on..." 20 seconds passed, the guards were getting tired. "Okay, he's there."
*THUNK SPLAT!*
*THUNK SPLAT!*
*THUNK SPLAT!*
*THUNK SPLAT!*
"Okay, the guards are dead. Approaching city! "

"Roger, stand by." As he approached the 20 meter-high gates of the Cog Republik, with the grey steel-reinforced 25 meter-high stone walls, a sniper gave him a thumbs-up, which he returned. The gates opened partially, and he went through, the gates closing behind him. A sight for sore eyes met him. 2 story, grey buildings with color for the signs and a few natural decorations. He put Luna down, who sank to her knees, sobbing. "Luna. Listen to me. Celestia has declared war. On my species. If we die, she gets access to Flip-Side, and that cannot happen. Were you accepted in Equestria?" Luna lokked at him, and shook her head slightly. "Well, you're accepted here. Despite you being a pony, you're a citizen, and now..." He gestured toward a small crowd, which Luna looked at. "You are family." Everyone in the crowd nodded. "Now, what should we call you?" He asked placing a hand on her withers, looking the distraught mare directly in the eyes.

"M-M-Midna. I would like to be called Midna." She responded, a small smile coming to her face.

"Well then, Midna. Welcome to the Cog Republik." He helped her up. "Now, go and talk to a few people. If you need anything, I'll be in that palace." He said, pointing at a 10-story building with a big cannon on top of it. With that he left. As she stared around nervously, a single man approached her.

"Hi! You're nervous, right?" She nodded. "Unsure what everyone will think about you?" She nodded again. "Well, let's fix that. You probably need someone to talk to. Me and m'bros are going to the tavern. How about you come with us?" Luna finally smiled, and started to follow him and his friends...

--1 hour later

"-he pissed himself right there and then! He even slipped on the puddle!" Luna said, her new friends laughing their asses off. After her banishment, she saw how incompetent the guard was, and attempted to drill a guard, who pissed himself because how scared he was. "Oh my, this is great! I can be myself!"

"Yeah, if you're a citizen, you're a friend. Hey, there's Ambassador Shane Von John!" Said person glanced in her direction, smiling as he walked over.

"Midna, this is for you. From me." He handed her a small-ish box, which she opened, only to smile as she pulled out a Citizen's Uniform with her magic. She looked at Shane, with tears of joy in her eyes. "I thought you'd like one."

"Thank you!" She hugged him, still levitating the uniform.

"Well, put it on! I didn't get one made for nothing. Also, we just upped the measurements of a regular pony to get what I'm pretty sure is your size. Also, I don't think you'll be needing your regalia. You can give them to me." She nodded, and removed her regalia, handing it to him, which he placed in the box, taking it. One of her new friends, Osama Bin Laden, who everybody called 'Osama', but one guy said 'Osama Bin Liftin' when he left the gym one day, helped her actually put the Uniform on. As soon as it was properly being worn, she smiled at Shane, who nodded, smiling back. "Now," He said, his tone suddenly grim. "I have something to show you. Also, someone you know far too well wishes to see you." Osama and his friends glanced at each other worriedly. Luna nodded, and followed. As they walked, Luna asked something.

"Where are we going, and who wants to see me?" He sighed, and looked at her.

"Remember Nightmare Moon." She flinched, then nodded. "Okay, imagine there's an entire dimension where everybody's the exact opposite in personality to you. Well, that exists. This city is built around a permanently open portal to that dimension. And, before you panic, Nightmare Moon wants too meet you. Not the one who possessed you, your polar opposite. She is almost the same as you, as the opposite of something will get to the same place. If someone is kind, their opposite will hate, but her negative traits will be positive, and will lead to a redundancy causing her to act similar in her own way. Confusing, but it works. Celestia's opposite is named Daybreaker, and is kinda a bitch, but loves her sister. Guess what that means." Luna teared up at the implications. If Daybreaker, Celestia's opposite cared for her sister, then Celestia didn't. At all. Celestia didn't care for Luna. 'No. I will not ever say, or think of that name again. I am Midna.' "I'm very sorry. Perhaps you can meet Daybreaker. She'll sure as hell enjoy it. Also, be nice to Moony. She's very shy. The opposite of you, I'd say." Luna was less nervous. Perhaps this won't be hard, if she's so different....

Author's Note

Next chapter, we get some information about Flip-Side and its' inhabitants. Also, the meeting with Moony'll be strange.

Seriously, just ell me what the fuck is wrong. I can't get better if you don't explain, unless you're just downvoting all my stories because you hate me or some bullshit. In that case, go die in a train fire, not even the crash.
