It had been days since the battle up on the mountains. The rebels took literally no losses in the fight, and the equestrians nearly lost all their forces. Khan was injured in the fight, but was aided by Tempest as she helped him during the conflict. After what happened, the rebels realize the royal guards will return with greater numbers, and possible the sisters themselves so figure it be best to relocate for their new base of operations.

Khan was being carried through the mountain pass still wrapped in bandages, the group headed downwards as they have been walking for hours. Their toes and feet were nearly getting frost bitten while walking through a bunch of 5 foot snow piles along the way. Sparkplug and Tempest were keeping good tabs on him making sure he is still kicking, which he is.

"Urg, ow." Khan groaned to himself struggling to keep awake. He felt a hand press down on him, looking over to see a dark purple unicorn mare looking at him.

"Don't move Khan." She said as she pulled up the blanket covering him since they left the hideout. "We will show up at our newest hideout. Just hang on, ok?"

Khan didn't say anything, he went back to sleep right there, as the rest of the group continued down there path still going through the snowy environment.

{In Canterlot}

A crowd of ponies were gathered around the courtroom talking about whatever, as others were asking questions. The room was filled with nobles, guards, and the commanders of the guards were all assembled.

Just then the doors opened to reveal the sisters, and the elements of harmony walking through the crowd to take their seats. Everyone bowed to them, they too now seated down to see what is so important.

"Everypony! We are facing a threat that spells trouble for our nation!" Celestia said causing the public to perk their ears with interest. "The rebels released my student's personal slave, and he lead the battle which caused chaos in Ponyville a few days ago. He also freed a certain slave that was a friend to him, and worse they destroyed the human reconditioning center we were building."

The crowd gasp with horror, and turned angry the next second.

"What in the world happened Celestia?" One of the nobles yelled out getting her attention. "Our guards out numbered them 10 to 1, and they somehow failed miserably?"

Celestia looked downwards taking in a breath to respond. "The rebels were equipped with shooting weapons that shot out what looks like fire coming out, and easily killed our guards."

"What do you mean Princess?"

"I mean, they easily shredded right through our armor, and our magic shields. Or at least that is what the survivors said."

The crowd talked it out with each other, while looking at Celestia. Even the guards standing were whispering amongst themselves, and were shaken hearing this. A weapon that shot fire like metal, to them that is beyond their research and understanding.

"That is completely up surd aunty!" A white unicorn stallion spoke out gain the crowd's attention. "Those humans, and traitors can't possible have that power! They are weak rebels, and which we should crush at once!"

Soon afterwards the crowd cheered for this idea to be put into motion. The guards stood proud like, and gave off the same applause with the crowd. Celestia herself gave off a sad sigh hearing this.

'These fools have no idea what they are dealing with here. Even after I told them the terrible truth, and they think they can overpower the rebels with large enough numbers?' She thought to herself.

"That is literally the stupidest idea I have ever heard from you all!" Yelled out a voice. The crowd, including Celestia turned to see the source of the voice. It was a white unicorn stallion wearing purple armor, and next to him stood an alicorn mare with pink fur dressed in a roman-style dress with hearts holding her dress together. And she was holding a small white-pink alicorn filly in her arms.

"From what my little sister Twilight explained to me before this gathering. We aren't dealing with some small band of outlaws anymore, we are dealing with something that is never been seen in equestria's eyes. Thanks to her slave Khan, he managed to train the rebels with these weapons, and like Celestia said, it does no doubt spell trouble for us if we don't do something about this. Worse yet, Khan and Sparkplug were humans that once ruled their world before they destroyed everything in their world."

The crowd remain silent again, only this time being wiser about this. But the white unicorn in the crowd was not so convinced, and just laughed at the armored stallion.

"Your so-called 'little sister' just doesn't seem to not understand that we just need to overwhelm these scum, and we can get back to our daily lives with no worry. Now when is this meeting over? I have dinner with a certain lady, and I don't want to be late."

"Blueblood! I will not let you talk about my student that way!" Celestia snapped.

"We all must be at our guard!" Luna spoke out as she rose from her chair. "These rebels could be our downfall if we are not careful. As long as Princess Twilight's slave is still out there, nopony will be safe. Meeting dismissed!"

After that the crowd left the room muttering to themselves about Khan, and the outlaws. Twilight was walking down the halls with her friends closely behind her.

"So what are we going to do now Twilight?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Twilight looked sad and responded. "I don't know Pinkie I just- I don't know."

"It's about Khan still, isn't it?" Rainbow said folding her arms across while hovering.

"I get how you feel sugar cube." Began Applejack placing a hand on Twilight's shoulder. "But what's done is done, and there is no changing that. He made his choice, and you made yers."

"I know Applejack but still... We should maybe just maybe try again only this time one our terms." Twilight said gaining some spirit.

"Are you crazy Twilight?!" Rainbow snapped. "After what happened, and you still want to take him alive?!"

"Of course I do Rainbow!"

Rainbow Dash had no words from what she heard her own friend say.

"I still want to make him feel equal to us. After all, he strikes me as the type that goes on about history, and I have to find him before anypony does."
