Love is Blue

Location: Dash's Mansion.
Date: 01 of August of 2023.
POV: Jorge.

During this month that has passed, my work as Financial Advisor for Celestia has taken a full 180° turn. Between managing the factories and their taxes, and some troubled citizens that need Financial advice or help from me. The meetings were not in Dash's house, even if her mom and her constantly telling me to have them in the mansion. After all, I am one in Celestia's inner circle. However, I couldn't accept it. In that area it has been somewhat tiring but some cases were very interesting.

On the other hand, spies of James have discovered that a Templar noble has infiltrated this mansion and not just that, but there is a rumor that Dash's parents are Templars. Which pains me as sooner or later, there will be a need to kill them. The war with the griffons and the allies of the Templars has for now, stopped. As there is a type of cold war between the two continents.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Yes?"

"Madame Whistles wishes for all nobles to come to us as we have a special meeting." What could this mean? I follow the guard and we went outside of the mansion. 8 more nobles were outside but no sign of Rainbow. Where could she be?

"Listen up! As you all know we are all templars and Madame Whistles wishes for one more to join us. Captain Harlock!" There was some applause and I step in front and yell:

"Here!"

"Good, what you are about to witness is were God Almighty gives us our mission to eliminate Celestia and Luna and put God were he belongs: as king. They have been manipulating what God can only manipulate: The sky."

"But what about Jesus Christ? He is the true king."

"Who is he? We don't know who he is. If he isn't with us he might as well be damned in hell. Wait... I remember now, some Templars have said his name but argued that he is only but a prophet, not god." That's heresy. Yet, I entertained the idea, as maybe there would be more here. It'll be my pleasure bring justice to these heretics. "Now then, follow me! We are going to mass, the true mass." I followed them and as I entered the supposed Chapel, I see that all were waiting and as we take seats, the priest enters. We all stand and then all Templars say their chant.

And so the mass begins. It's surprising that the Templars don't consider Jesus as their center. Maybe there was a misunderstanding, after all three years is enough for it to be misunderstood. Then in the homily, Windy Whistles steps in front and says:

"Thank you Father. Glory be to the Templars!"

"And Glory be to God!" The all said in unison. She then continued:

"Dear brothers and sisters, we have finally entered into Celestia's court. We are almost close to being the majority in the court. Yet, the mane 6 have been an obstacle. We cannot let them stop us. Not even assassins could stop us. They are not here. We are free here. We just need to realize there is no competition to go at full power against Celestia. However, we need ponies. We need ponies so that the Templars gain what was lost with the magic attack on the fortress near Canterlot. We need to counterattack from the massacre from Fillydelphia.

Dear brothers and sisters, God almighty has proven us once again that the reign of Celestia and Luna has to end. If we finish them, Twilight and Cadance will fall. Remember what the Templars have given us the past 3 years before Celestia cast out all of our allies to the other side of the sea. Remember how great we were, remember how the poor were at our feet, begging us to help them. Remember the fun we had. However, we no longer do this due to the laws of Celestia and Twilight.

The assassins are not here, the sith have enabled us a path clear to our destination. They granted us this planet to ourselves. It's ours! Not from Celestia and the other bullshit of queens and kings. We will conquer Equus and have our longed for society. DEUS VULT!"

"DEUS VULT!" They all said in unison. Then, the mass continued. After half an hour, the mass ended. There are many questions and answers from this. However, I saw that no pony was leaving. Then I noticed that Dash's mom and dad stepped forward. And then said: "We have a new member on our ranks. If Captain Harlock decides to marry Rainbow Dash, he will be with us. We will have the strongest fleet in all of Equestria. We could finally achieve what our grandmasters couldn't. Come now, Harlock. Come to recieve God's blessing." I then stood and said:

"You all are heretics. You all want to damage God's order. But this will end. We assassins have come here. We assassins will stand against you. We live in the shadows. You'll never get rid of us. Rainbow is mine. She is an assassin. She will be a jedi and rid of sith's power. They will no longer have communications with you. And this planet will be long forgotten."

"Preposterous! My daughter is not an assassin. She is a Templar. And you, *Gasp*. No, she couldn't have lied to us. No, our little flower can't do this. Kill the assassin! Kill him and don't let him get to Rainbow!"

"Too late." I then teletransported to where Rainbow was. As I appeared, she was confused as how I got here. "No time. Grab all your things."

"But-"

"Grab them!" She nodded and started packing. In the background it could be heard: "Kill the Assassin! Protect Rainbow! Let nopony grab her." She looked at me and said: "What's all this ruckus about?"

"Go now. Questions later." She pressed again:

"Answer me." I looked at her eyes and said:

"My love, please just trust me, all your answers will be solved once we get to a safe place." She let it rest and continued packing. *KNOCK KNOCK*

"Yes?" Said Rainbow.

"Princess, are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." She then whispered: "I am ready."

"Ready? Princess, what are you talking about?"

"Shit. We better go." I said, grabbing Rainbow's hoof.

"Shit, dude we need to have the protocol 14." Said one guard.

"Princess, I am sorry but we will enter." The guards entered, but it was too late. We were at Canterlot. As I began to unpack Rainbow's stuff, I realize all my stuff was in my room. Shit. I then whistled and a mare in assassin robes appeared.

"What's the problem, grandmaster?"

"Get Rainbow to where James is. Tell him that it has begun."

"What? Who are you? What has begun? Jorge?" I then approached Rainbow and said:

"I am trully sorry but I'll answer your questions later. Here, give this letter to James." I then kissed her and said: "If I don't come back. Remember to stay strong and keep me in your mind." She was dumb founded by what I said.

"What?" But it was too late. I was already gone. I then appeared at my temporary room. I then begun storing all my stuff into my backpack and then *BAM!* all was pitch black.

POV Rainbow Dash.

"What?" I said and then Jorge disappeared. *poof* I was then pulled by the mysterious mare but I said: "Let me stay here! He'll come back shortly."

"He won't." What? "Let's go to Master James, he'll know what to do."

"No, no. We need to go to Cloudsdale. He is in big trouble." But my plead ended up with deaf ears. I can't do nothing, I need to save him. So, I punched the mare, she released me and I immediately took flight. But a lasso trapped me. So, I flapped harder, I tried to cut loose the rope but it was pratically impossible. It was made of a strange material, so my attempts were not even scratching the rope. The mare tied me to a pole and from there it was impossible to go. However, I need to keep trying. I need to save him. I flapped and flapped, but then something hit me in the neck. I then went to grab it and saw that it was a dart. Shit, and I fell asleep.

"Jorge!" I yelled. I then searched a way out but there was none. Not even a window. However, sitting in a table, was James. I then went and said: "James, let me go! I need to save him."

"Sit down!" He said with a commanding voice. Suddenly, without my consent, my body sat down. "Now quiet. I will explain everything."
