Previous Chapter

The warbeast sat on the bed as he inspected his wargear making sure that Twilight didn't damage the plasma-infused alloy, lucky Twilight didn't even scratch the paint as everything was it should be. Holding his helmet he turned his head to see Tao asleep on the bed as she groaned slightly as she couldn't feel the warmth of the space marine as he moved his hand to her cheek and kissed her forehead.

"Wake up Luv it's morning," He said as Tao opened the blue eyes of hers that he loved.

Groaning again she held his hand as she looked at him.

"Come back to bed... want to cuddle some more," She said as he sighed.

"As you wish mistress," Alexander responded.

Placing his helmet down he moved and got under the sheets as he grabbed her moving in close as she smiled before digging her head into his chest fur as her tail wagged excitedly. The two laid there for a good few moments as Tao returned to sleep as her lover held her close to his body never daring to let go as it seemed like the two would remain like this forever.

"HEYYYYYYO!" Moment ruined.

Cadance came in once again even after Alex locked the door the night before, this is getting bloody annoying can't she see that these two were having a golden moment?

"Damn it," Tao said still buried in his chest fur before moving her head to see Cadance smiling at the two.

"Ahhhhhh Shining and I used to cuddle like that before Flurry was born... we still do but not as much," She said as Tao threw a pillow at her which hit her dead on. "Ow hey want was that for?"

"SECOND FUCKING TIME CADANCE CAN'T ALEX AND I BE ALONE FOR FIVE MINUTES!" Tao shouted as Cadance rolled her eyes.

"Oh come on now you two have been with each other all night and the morning! You two skipped breakfast and your about to skip lunch too? Come now you guys can't stay in bed all day," Cadance said as Tao turned to her.

"Watch us,"

Cadance sighed as her horn glowed as the sheets were pulled off showing off the two in their sleepwear as she eyed Alexander's body.

"Ohhhhh damn that body gets me every time," She said as Tao growled.

"GET OUT!" Tao shouted as Cadance held out her hands.

"Alright alright, you two get dressed and get out for some lunch alright? Please don't go back to bed so I have to wake you up," She said as Tao shouted again.

"GET THE FUCK OUT!"

Cadance did so as she left the two Tao sighed as Alex placed his head on her shoulder as she rested her head next to his.

"You do need to eat," He said as she looked at him.

"But I love this... and-"

"I know you do but we need to move and get ready for the day," He said as he picked her up in his arms like a princess as she yipped before smiling as she held his neck in her arms.

"I'm glad I was given a guardian such as you," She said as he smiled kissing her on the lips before setting her down.

"Come on let's get dressed," Alex said as she did so while he got his armor on.


Tao walked forward as the guardian that had her heart walked alongside her as the red-clad armor he didn't make a sound as he moved forward. The priestess and the former blood raven entered the main hall as the two entered they heard shouting as Luna was being screamed at by many nobles and ladies.

"WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT?! CROWN YOURSELF QUEEN?!" A lord shouted as he had enough with Luna's current actions.

"Lord sliver what I do is for the betterment of our home," Luna explained.

"Oh please!" A lady of the court spoke. "Betterment of our home? What will Japony do 'your highness'? They are currently weak after the raid what threat do they pose to us? They are just most are Farmers, others are miners, and their leader's Zealots to a dead god,"

Luna narrowed her eyes.

"I have to ask Lady Demin... do like having all the nice things you have?" Luna asked. "For if it wasn't for those Zealots we wouldn't have all the items we have today,"

"Oh please, how much of our trade do they have? 10%? NO! I beat you it's 5% our trades come from Japony," Lady Demin laughed as the lords and ladies laughed with her.

"Try 65%," The night princesses spoke. "Call them 'old fashion' but they port out nearly everything we need to make what we have. The trees to build every equestrian's home come from the lumber from the tree yards that regrow overnight, the steel they used to create our weapons come from the rich veins of iron ore that is below the land of Japony, and finally, those Zealots grow the plants that are used to make our medicine,"

The lady snarled as Luna spoke before a lord shot up.

"WE SHOULD TAKE JAPONY FOR EQUESTRIA!" A lord shouted. "It belongs to us! We should retake the Japony state! We were the ones who showed those savages what it means to be civil!"

Luna narrowed her eyes.

"Those creatures owe us for bring them out of their caves and-"

"And what?" The lord froze upon hearing Tao's voice. "Please processed pretend my guardian and I aren't here,"

The lord then growled before shouting.

"AND THIS THING! PRINCESS TWILIGHT HAD THE RIGHT IDEA WHY ARE WE DENIED THAT TECHNOLOGY HE HAS!? WE WOULD BECOME THE SINGLE GREATEST SUPERPOWER IN THE WORLD!" The lord pointed to Alexander who narrowed his eyes behind his white helmet.

...

Tao then walked forward.

"Well then. I see where the loyalty of Equestria lies," Tao explained as Luna felt her blood freeze as Tao turned to her. "Luna my friend you have been ever kind to us but it seems the court has spoken we are no longer wanted here because us 'savages' aren't welcomed here,"

The lord scoffed.

"Then go back to your cave harlot! We never need your help!" The lord spat. "You're the whole reason why Celestia and blueblood are gone!"

"RIVER RUSH YOU WILL-!"

"I will what? Back away from a tyrant who is slowly taking over the kingdom?! Good Faust, we have heard enough from you! THE COURT CHALLENGES THE CROWN!" Luna went wide-eyed as Alexander then stepped forward.

"Be careful boy," Alex said as he stood before River rush. "You are playing with fire,"

"And what are you going to do about it you runt?!" Rush jabbed his finger into the red chest plate of Alexander's Prototype Iridium power suit. "You going to show the world your true colors? Hmm? That what you're going to do? Assault an unarmed member of the court?"

Alex then leaned down.

"Worse boy," Rush felt a rush of the air coming from the lunar blade's helmet grill. "We'll not help you,"

Rising up the black eyes of his helmet flash blue for a moment before going back to Tao.

"We are leaving," Her guardian told her as she nodded.

"Agreed... Oh and River rush?" Tao spoke as the lord stared at her.

"We 'savages' help feed and heal the settlers who came to our lands and taught them what you know today," Tao said as she turned and walked forward as Alexander followed suit.


Tao huffed as they were back in the room as Tao finished packing the little belongings she brought with her in the case to which Alexander now held under his arm.

"Well... that was one helluva morning," Tao stated. "Honestly wasn't expecting that to happen today,"

"Agreed I calculated that it would be another month before they would demand that Luna would step down from the throne," Alexander stated as Tao turned to him.

"What?"

"You predicted that was going to happen," Alexander nodded.

"Why? You didn't?" Tao shook her head as she smiled slightly.

"Were not all demi-gods Alex," She said placing her hand on his chest plate. "Still this isn't the way I wanted to leave Equestria but I'm glad we are heading to Japony... I been wanting to show you my homeland properly,"

"I would like that," Alexander stated as Tao looked up at him with a smile before she noticed something out the window.

"Is that... smoke?" Tao walked to the window as Alexander followed and upon the two looking out the window they saw it.

The cherry blossom was burning as a couple of guards walked away with empty oil cans.

"Best we leave," Alexander stated as Tao nodded.

When the two left their room they began to walk as they turned a corner they heard soldiers coming into the room.

"Where are they?!" The two turned to where they came as Tao froze slightly. "Look for them Princess Celestia orders!"

Placing Tao's Bag on his back he picked her up in his arms and began to run forward.

"THERE THEY ARE!"

"HALT IN THE NAME OF THE PRINCESS!"

The guards ran after them but Alexander found a landing and ran out onto it before jumping off, the guards looked down before Alexander shot up with Tao still in his arms as they cursed before the captain shouted orders for the pegesi units to go after them.

"This isn't what I imaged my first time taking you out into the skies like this love," Alexander told Tao as she held his helmet's side in her hand.

"I don't mind it, Alex," The Asta'Vesa looked at her before looking forward. "But I have to ask... this is the right direction to Japony correct?"


Author's Note

Well...

Sorry for the wait guys been meaning to go back to this story after awhile... almost been a year now that I think about it, still went back to the momma renamon and her red tau marine protector.

Got to say I always like the idea of a tau marine of the farsight enclave then and even now, farsight is a boss! Shadow sun... ehhhhh... She dumped the captain general...

But yeah now with this more words coming out for every chapter expect to see more longer chapters and such.

Till then guys (hopefully not in a year's time) see you in the next chapter.
