Equestria. A day's journey from Canterlot.

Heart Path POV. Continuation.

I wonder what thought you would have if you saw such a strange creature in front of you? No, ponies are not strange to me, because Trixie just looks like a living toy that can also use magic. BUT, who is this jerk, with a sly grin? He looks like his mom got fucked by a whole zoo!

My thoughts continued for several seconds, and I did not take my eyes off this friendly monster, and at the same time I did not forget to aim at him from my amplifier gloves. "Who the hell are you, you had four fathers and one mother?" I threw up my hands and aimed at him.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense! I am not your enemy, and take these things away, there is no point in them." The funny monster snapped the fingers of his beastly hand, and then both gloves and glasses fell off me to hang in the air, and my white hair rose in the magical wind.

I looked at this creature in amazement and angrily, my hair made a sound of electricity, and lightning sparks ran through my body, but they did not bring me pain. All this magic surprised me, but I started shaking with fear, because of my helpless state. I hope my friends will at least be able to react. Out of the corner of my eye, I started squinting at my robot.

But this funny and arrogant monster, again used some kind of magic with a snap of his fingers, and threw my things into the snow next to me, then with a friendly expression on his face came up, stretched out an animal paw to me to express greetings in a human style. My hair settled into a calm position, and I looked at him questioningly. And I really wanted to express to him a few Russian curses, while again mentioning his mother and other perversions of nature. But from the state of shock, I greedily gasped for air, and could not say something, and my heart was still pounding furiously in my chest.

But he spoke first: "Let's try again! Hello! My name is Discord, I am the lord of Chaos, by the way I like you. I saw what you, and your friend are capable of. My element."

At that moment Trixie and my robot came up to us. Glancing at Discord with irritation, she blurted out, not letting me say a word. "YOU, DISCORD WATCHED US ALL THIS TIME AND COULD NOT HELP?"

Discord calmly looked at the pony and greeted her. "Hello Trixie." Then he hugged us and made us look at the place where the fight with the wolves took place. “Look carefully at all this! Was my help really needed?"

Trixie looked at Discord mercilessly and pushed his lion's hand away. "Actually, we could die here! And now you're standing there mocking me! If I had reacted a couple of seconds later, then maybe, this man... well, you know it yourself!" And she pointed at me with her hoof, then turned away and walked in the direction of her van.

Hmm... What a caring pony. However, her words really make me think even deeper about the meaning. Okay, I need to focus! Fuck! I'm starting to get a headache from all these events over the last three hours. I was distracted from these thoughts by the same guy, whose name, as I now know, is Discord.

"Do you think so too, human? By the way, you still haven't told your name." Said Discord, and putting his paw to his chin, skeptically shifted his gaze from me to the robot and Trixie.

I also took his chaotic paw off my shoulder and followed Trixie. However, I did not leave our so-called "friend" unanswered. "My name is Heart Path." I answered with indifference in my voice.

"You must forgive me, Heart Path! But I must not interfere with fate when it makes sense. Believe me, I would not allow your death. But mind you, a simple mortal mare saved your life and as a result you made peace with her. And even more, you became friends with her, namely Trixie now needs a friend to save her from loneliness and in eternal wanderings and searches for her destiny! And now she has found a friend in your face. And if I intervened in your party, then everything would go in a different scenario. I hope you understand me perfectly?"

That Discord voice in my head made me turn to him with a questioning look. But he teleported right in front of me without hesitation, which frightened me. I don’t think you can quickly get used to such a phenomenon.

"Yes, you understood everything correctly. Only you can hear me. By the way, a great hairstyle, but something needs to be fixed."

Then he touched my head and a whirlwind of energy began to tickle the back of my head. And that long white hair pulled back to my previous length and again took on a dark shade of chestnut.

Yes, I like this strange guy, but I have a question. "Do you know why I had such unusual hair? Explain it to me. And thank you for helping me get my old look back, otherwise I felt out of place with such a strange hairstyle!"

This time he spoke to me as usual, but in a cheerful, cheerful voice: "These are all the consequences of passing the portal. Your mind has experienced a shock, and of course a lot of new sensations. But do not pay attention, I can only say that now you are in this world, and not in the one you are used to! In this world, the very essence of life is based on magic. You still have a lot to learn."

And leaving me with these thoughts, he decided to take a closer look at my robot, which was quietly sitting and watching what was happening. "Hmm ... Interesting thing." Then he snapped his fingers and changed the style of my robot's mane to Iroquois.

"Hey! Don't touch him, leave it as it is!" I shouted in an indignant voice and also decided to approach the robot, but I felt my eye begin to twitch nervously. And I think you can understand me.

My robot objected back to me: "Actually, I love it. Thank you Mr. Discord!"

I shook my head and put my hand to my forehead. Okay, let him go as he wants. After all, even though he's a robot, in the short time we've known each other, he's been able to prove to me that he's even more than an artificial intelligence in metal form. Especially his humor. "Good! Discord, can you conjure a bow on his tail, and even the girliest one you can think of?"

Night Fog, turned its head towards me with its idiotic, lifeless eyes and spoke. "And you are an optimist sir!"

All this time Trixie was calmly putting her things in the van and putting out the fire. And then I remembered Discord's words about how he described the real life situation of this cute mare who found a friend in my face today. How bad is everything in her life that she reminds me of life from the past before I fell into the portal? A familiar signal has appeared in my heart, which tells me what I should do. Lost in my thoughts, I called out to her.

"Trixie! Are you ready to move on or do you need help?"

And, coming closer to her, I looked into her beautiful but tired eyes. She looked as tired as I did, but we have to gather our strength to leave this place. Trixie looked at me, then at Discord, who was continuing his experiments with the tail style for my robot. Welcome to the society of idiots! I think they've made friends with Night Fog.

"Discord!?" Trixie screamed.

He teleported in front of Trixie, leaving my robot bored. "Yes!? What do you want from the Lord of Chaos?"

"Can you take us to Canterlot?" Trixie said in a plaintive voice, and did something that surprised me, to put it mildly. But it was interesting. She clung to one of Discord's legs and began to beg him, making a puppy look and sticking out her lower lip. Well, I mean the lip on the head! "Please?"

Discord scratched his chin thoughtfully and replied with a sly smile: "No! But in some ways, I will still help you both, as a consolation. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go." After these words, the Lord of Chaos disappeared, leaving behind a rain of streamers and confetti.

Heh, what a joker he is, though! While I was recovering from what I saw, a robot came up to us and pointed to the containers with cargo that had taken off, on which there were some wings that had grown on their sides. The whole cargo was floating amusingly in the air, obviously waiting for them to be taken by the rope and pulled along like balloons. This world, with its magic, can prescribe me a referral to psychiatry!

I wrinkled my nose, but I was smiling idiotically. After that, I exchanged glances with Trixie, who had an indifferent expression on her face. "Okay, let's get out of here before I go crazy from this place! Night Fog, you tie the rope with these containers to the cart, and then harness it yourself, Lady Trixie, and we will walk beside you while you show the way. Let's go to Canterlot!" I gave out commands, and everyone approved this proposal.

"Yes, you are a real gentleman!" Threw a joke Night Fog.

Night Fog finished performing all the machinations with our containers, and it was undoubtedly a funny sight, since the robot had to run after these containers. We even heard him utter a few curses. However, Trixie still decided to help us with this problem. She just used telekinesis magic, and tied the whole load with ropes.

"Thank you, Miss Trixie." Said Night Fog, and began to fasten himself to the cart.

I just shook my head at the whole sight and took a last look at this place. "Trixie, you're doing great! And while we're walking along this snowy road, would you be so kind as to tell me something else about this world. I think it will be important for me and Night Fog to know this." I said when we were already walking leisurely next to the creaking cart.

Yes, it was dark in the sky, and despite the light snow, the light of the moon, and a few stars could illuminate our path.

Trixie looked at me with a slight smile, but already sleepy eyes. "Of course I don't mind talking to you. Besides, it's still so unusual for me... I think we'll both remember this day for the rest of our lives."

So we continued on our way, and in order to pass the time and distract ourselves from fatigue, we had a friendly conversation. Fate sometimes laughs at us, but everything should end well. Although, I doubt I'll be able to walk that long after injuring my leg. The effect of the analgesic drug is still lingering in my body... But, unfortunately, there is no medicine, that should cure my stress.

"Wonder, what urgent matters Discord had, why he left our society so hastily?" I asked with a thoughtful face, still trying to analyze this unusual situation.

Events in the palace.

Lord of Chaos, with his love for the unexpected, decided to present a small surprise to one sweetly sleeping beauty. He quietly lay down on the wide bed to stroke the pony's nose with a feather. Yes, this king's bed has a long story. Discord remembered well how much love juices she had absorbed. And how many times the servants and guards, passing by the royal chambers, crowded near the doors to listen to these hot moans of their beloved princess. But they did not really know who the lucky one was who experienced the warmth and passion of Princess Celestia this time.

There were rumors among the castle guards that it could be someone from the night guard or officers. Or maybe someone else, but they never could see who entered Celestia's chambers. The rumors from the servants of the castle were even better! It was said that their beloved princess, in essence, does not like to apply a soundproofing spell on her room, because she wanted everyone to hear how happy she was in these moments of ecstasy! And she moaned oh so loud.

Some guards on duty could not stand the guard post and with the words: "DAMN DISCORD!" Throwing their spears on the floor, they began to rub their hoof between their legs, after which the next morning the maids, earth ponies, cast irritated glances at both idiots on duty on this shift. Because they had to wipe those sticky puddles on the carpet. They didn't want their beloved princess to come out of her chambers and step on all this mess with her golden shoes.

The guards on duty always apologized to the maids, smiled stupidly, but then invited these mares to go on a date with them in their free time. The maids always rolled their eyes, but then smiled sweetly in response and gave their consent. After all, stallions, especially Royal Guards, are a real treasure for every mare.

It is noteworthy that over the past five centuries, the ratio of the birth rate of fillies and colts was about five to one. Which, in turn, gave both a positive result and a negative one. The good news was that there were fewer wars, well, except for small fights between mares over stallions! The bad thing was that even if a law on herding communities was introduced (harems, where, according to the law, a stallion could have no more than four mares in a herd, but over time this number increased and everything depended on the life and capabilities of the stallion himself), many mares could not find love in the herds and therefore remained lonely until old age. Well, or they coped with their need in other ways, for which special shops and clubs began to open en masse throughout the kingdom.

Over time, the law on permissible polygamy, at the suggestion of Princess Cadence, was expanded and amended. So this amendment allowed for the possibility of interspecies love. This was done in order to attract males from neighboring kingdoms, which gave its advantages.

The first is that Equestria mares could find love, for example, for a griffin and they were happy, and mares were satisfied. The second is what helped to establish relations with the neighboring kingdoms and carry out trade and tourism. The third was the exchange of culture and art of different peoples. In general, all parties benefited from this law, for which many were grateful to the princess of Cadence and gave her special honors. She was given the right to the first wedding night, in order to experience the capabilities of the male. And this despite the fact that she was married to Shining Armor. Yes, everything was in her desire and Shining Armor had no right to interfere. Their royal marriage was concluded on such conditions.

But we digress. So, Discord was the only one who knew this lucky guy who spanked Sunny ass! And more than once.

Discord didn’t have time to reach for Celestia’s nose with a feather before a blue aura enveloped his hand. He rolled his eyes and turned around on the bed and almost jumped out of it when he saw Princess Luna standing a step away from him. She shook her head negatively and put a hoof to her mouth, showing silence.

"Quiet, Discord. Not today. She had a hard day, let her sleep well. Follow me." Luna whispered and poked her hoof on Discord. Then she walked around the bed on the other side, where her sister was sleeping peacefully, and bent down to gently pat her on the cheek.

Discord smiled looking at these cute actions of the Princess of Night. After which he decided to express his interest. "Maybe you can offer me something in return, breaking my intimate moment?" Whispered Discord, maintaining respect for the peace of Princess Celestia, and the request of her sister.

Luna looked at him and offered. "I'll meet you at my tower, we'll talk there."

One by one, they teleported to the designated place and both went out onto the balcony where the telescope was. It was still snowing lightly outside, as planned by weather team. And standing on the balcony of this high palace tower, where Princess Luna usually liked to spend her nights, one could see the sleeping city. Only the light of street lamps and the patrols of the city guards passing along the roads decorated this landscape.

"Forgive me, Discord, for interfering with your plans with my sister." Luna said, weighing her hooves over the balcony railing.

"It's no big deal, you know that we have not lived for the first century. And how many such beautiful nights will be ahead. And all thanks to you." Then he went up to the princess and hugged her shoulders, demonstrating his affectionate friendship for her.

Nobody knew about this side of Lord of Chaos, except for two princesses who have known him for centuries ... Yes, at times he did evil, but it always brought good results. For many ponies, he covered the path to their happiness with thorns. But they passed the hard way and faced threats and problems, learned to overcome them, to become stronger in soul.

To be a caring and strict father of all living things, this is his mission, to be a whip. And not everyone understood this, but the princesses knew about it. Such is his fate, to be persecuted and sometimes hated. Many did not like him and were always wary of his presence. In the eyes of ordinary ponies, he was nothing more than a jester.

But among these ponies there was one oil-yellow pegasus, who no matter what and no matter how they were against her friend, she gave Discord a chance. She stood up for him when he, in turn, did not want it, but she saved him again, throwing her "Amulet of Harmony" at the hooves of her friends. The very kindness radiated by this mare burned out an evil vice in his heart! And this mare's name was Fluttershy. Discord will not forget that moment. He never cried in his life, from the emotions he had experienced, but everything turned upside down in his mind, that day. Fluttershy, by her nature, was able to see the soul of the Lord of Chaos. And in it was written his fate, to be Chaos itself, in the name of Good!

Luna pressed her cheek to Discord's chest and spoke warmly: "I can sense your worries, but please find peace in my company. Today is too wonderful a night to destroy with excitement."

Discord sighed and said, "Yes. You're right... You know what? Let's have some fun!" Discord smiled good-naturedly and flirtatiously lowered his eyelids, then snapped his fingers. There was a magical flash, and a bottle of wine, along with a deck of poker cards, floated in front of the princess's face.

Luna looked into Discord's eyes and smiled, drooping eyelids. "You read my mind!" Then they both teleported to a warm room and sat down at a table near the fireplace.

Discord used his magic again, uncorked a bottle of wine, and poured into glasses, after which he began to deal cards. Luna also showed resourcefulness, took a sip from her glass and turned on the music on her magic gramophone. Heh yes, at one time, by order of the princess, DJ pon3 made this installation for her. Luna was a fan of club parties and was often a welcome guest at one of the Canterlot establishments. Of course, if she was free.

"My sister has already told me the news of our guest's arrival, but I want to hear more details from you." Luna said, shifting her gaze from her cards to Discord. She clearly had a slim chance of winning.

Discord was sitting at this table with the look of a professional gambler, keeping an indifferent expression on his face. However, he could still look at the Princess of Night as if he was looking into her soul. "Oh, everything is great! But I didn't know that you would involve your intelligence agent in this case. It was resourceful, but you could have at least warned me. Otherwise, at some point, I started to understand your game. Do you want Trixie to be able to finally find a friend! And this alien bipedal man, who with a high probability will soon become known to the whole world, should also influence Trixie. Am I right?" Discord said and, looking at his cards, decided to increase the bet, and threw another dozen chips on this table.

"Yes, it is. And when I met Trixie in her dreams, I specifically didn't tell her a lot of information about who exactly she should meet on her way so that it would be a surprise for her. And besides, I needed to know how these two would interact with each other when they first met. And that's when you consider that Trixie has never seen such intelligent creatures. Although, Heart Path had already met me in his dream, back when this portal was open and I was able to find him. But, it was really hard, I mean to get into the dreamland of another world, so our meeting with this man could not be long. Now, tell me, how was their first meeting? Was it impressive?" Luna asked, not hiding her curiosity, and stacked her chips to even the bet.

Discord began to twitch his ears nervously and smile innocently. "Actually, everything turned out very interesting and I helped a little. Summoned a pack wolves and put on a show for these two. Your Trixie passed the test, despite being his captive, but as a result, she found a friend! Now they are on their way to Canterlot, and I think we will leave the next move to Celestia. Well, it's time to reveal the cards!"

Luna made an angry face when she heard these words. "Are you completely crazy? It shouldn't have been so difficult, on the very first day of this man's arrival in our world! I... I.. I'm just in shock! Damn it... And how did the man react when he saw a pack of tree wolves?" Luna asked in a serious voice, continuing to frown at Discord.

Discord swallowed the lump in his throat, and took a big sip of wine. Then he looked at Luna with a glassy gaze. "It was Tartarus! I wouldn't want to be in the place of these wolves. Do not forget that along with this man, another passenger has arrived in this world. It is an inanimate, metallic creature that is very similar in shape to a pony, only slightly larger in size, and has intelligence and deadly weapons. I have no doubt that the whole of Cloudsdale was covering their ears with their hooves at that moment." Discord said in a serious voice, but after that, a sly grin appeared on his face. "AHAHA! I swear, I like these guys! I even assume that I can make friends with them! So, you ponies will have to hold your asses tight! Ahah..." Discord's hysterical laughter continued for another minute.

Luna made an impenetrable face, watching the hysteria of the Lord of Chaos, but at that moment there was a real whirlwind in her thoughts. And the most important thing is the awareness of the fact that in fact everything is going according to plan. And soon this world will really learn something new. But how will this affect the pony?

"If you've finished your erotic fantasies by presenting pony asses, can we already show our cards? Otherwise, I'm getting tired of this madness. We actually wanted to have fun together, but it's funny only to you!" Luna said with reproach in her voice, and without waiting for an answer, put her cards on the table. "I have "Two pairs", what do you have?"

Discord finally managed to calm down, scratched his beard, took a sip of wine and, with a broad smile on his face, laid down his cards. "Street"!" Discord responded by maintaining a playful nature in his behavior, and rubbed his chaotic paws in anticipation, not taking his gaze off the upset Princess of Night.

Luna deflated and lowered her head to the table, admitting defeat. "Are you bluffing again?" Luna asked in a saddened voice, and using magic, threw her cards in Discord's face. "Damn it... I'm losing to you again. Someday, I'll get it back!"

"Well, don't think so, my beautiful princess Luna, you yourself know that these cards are enchanted for fair play."

"Well, what do you want this time? I say right away, the offer of anal sex will be categorically rejected!"

Discord thought a little, looking into the sad eyes of the princess and said. "Oh no, my dear Luna, I will leave these gifts to your sister... But I need the truth!"

Luna's ear twitched nervously, and she raised her head from the table, after which she stared intently into Discord's eyes. "And what do you want to know?" After these words, she looked at the fire in the fireplace. "I bet it's going to be a very personal question. I don't like it when someone tries to dig into my soul." Princess of Night whispered in a calm voice.

Discord stared at the princess, studying her emotions, then spoke in a serious voice: "I can understand you perfectly. But, I think you should make this exception for me... Who's Trixie to you?" Discord put his chaotic paws on the edge of the table and brought his face closer to the shocked Luna. "Just don't tell me what I already know. Yes, she's your operative from intelligence. But your attitude towards her... I'm not a fool, and I can see perfectly well that you're hiding some secret." Discord said in a low voice, putting as much tension and mystery into his words as possible.

This unexpected question really scared Luna. She looked pleadingly into Discord's eyes, but her magically floating tail began to betray her nervousness. She was already beginning to regret interfering with Discord's plans to spend the night with her sister.

Feeling the last drop of hope, she decided to ask for mercy: "Maybe sex is better? I promise, this time I will play the role of the "Maid". Damn it! I even have a special costume for this role! I promise you will be completely satisfied!" Luna said, and looked imploringly at the grinning Discord, who only shook his head negatively.

Discord sat down on his chair again, and boldly put his feet on the edge of the table, and crossed his chaotic paws behind his head. At the same time, he did not take his mesmerizing gaze off Luna. "Another time, I would not refuse your offer, my dear Luna..." Said Discord in a calm voice, and looked at the moon outside the window. "But something tells me that I am the one who should ease your mental burden. I feel that you get hurt sometimes, and unlike your sister, I notice it perfectly. As strange as it may sound. And take my word for it, I wish you only all the best, and I respect you very much, and I want you to see in me a lot of care about you. You know perfectly well that I'm not really a bad guy." Discord looked into Luna's eyes again. "The sooner you lighten your mental burden, the sooner you will be able to overcome your fear. Just remember, I'm your friend. And these are not just words. And now it's your turn, Night Beauty!" Discord said in a soothing voice, and at the end coquettishly wiggled his eyebrows.

Luna listened attentively to Discord, and calmed down a little. "I'll tell you the truth, but you have to promise that this will stay between us! And thank you very much. Sometimes you have to remind me once again that I love you for your understanding. Although only my sister knows about it." Luna said in a quiet, kind voice, and smiled sweetly, showing all the sincerity of her words.

Discord brightened up in his good-natured smile, and taking his feet off the table, put his elbow on the table and propped his chin with a chaotic paw. At the same time, he carefully looked at Luna. "That's better! Of course, I give you this promise, and I will keep any secret you have. And now I'm listening to your story."

Luna nodded affirmatively, and got up from the table, went to the window, taking the wine with her in a magical aura.

Princess Luna’s Memories.

Twenty years before the return of Nightmare Moon.

At that time, my spirit was wandering alone in the vastness of my home. The satellite of Equus, which has become a place of exile for me. For almost a thousand years of my exile, I got used to this place. On my moon, my spirit wandered within these limits, finding no rest on the dark side, and giving me fleeting solace on the one that was illuminated by the Sun. I knew that my liberation would come soon, but the evil spirit always triumphed over my essence. The bitterness of loneliness and the fate of a prisoner plunged me into despair. My time was running out, my hope was dying, and I needed consolation.

Every day the same vision haunted me. In it I was a young princess. I went into my sister's room and saw her sitting in front of the mirror. Celestia put on her make-up, getting ready for the ball, so that she could fool around with the next stallion in some pantry for storing mops. Yes, I remember that she loved such adventures. And the stallions liked it too, as long as they had the strength to do it. But the point was that all the life of the court, petty intrigues and acquaintances took place during the day. And at night, when I had to deal with the duties of the guardian of dreams, I felt lonely. The stallions shied away from me, not finding me a suitable match. And all because I was the princess of the night! And the day was not in my power. But why is this not fair? I thought at such moments, standing on the balcony. Why doesn't the pony like my night?

Already at that moment, envy and other vices took possession of my soul, which brought darkness upon me. I was in my room, and I was looking in the mirror. "No! I'm tired of my sister being loved and respected more than me..." And while I was saying these words in a fit of angry emotions, I watched my reflection change. "If I, the Princess of the Night, am not worthy of such respect..." And at that moment my pupils began to change, as well as the mane, which was getting darker. "You left me no choice! Now, I..." Suddenly, a magical armor appeared on my body, and the fangs in my teeth became like a predator's. "You had a chance, but you don't honor me. And now, I will make every pony honor my rule! Will arrive with me..." My body has grown in size, and dark magic has completely permeated my essence. I feel a strong ecstasy! It was a foretaste of the sweet sensations of victory. I have conquered my modesty, and now this world recognizes me. "Yes! The time of the day is OVER! NOW THERE WILL BE THE KINGDOM OF ETERNAL NIGHT!!!" I shouted in an imperious voice, from which this mirror split.

And not just the mirror. The door from my room flew out and shattered into splinters. My whole room was shaking with a huge magical resonance. I heard multiple screams coming from the streets and from the palace itself. And these screams brought me a lot of bliss. I stepped aside, and my hoof stepped on a piece of mirror in which I saw myself. My heart was racing, but I loved my new look. My eyes flickered with a magical glow and I looked towards the corridor, since now there was no door in my room. This did not frighten me, as I was sure that my servants would be submissive and would put a new door for me.

I blinked my elongated eyelashes, and looked in the direction of the broken window. Of course, at this very time, the night came, which caused fear and panic in all the ponies, including my sister. I felt it. And I felt very good. I fed on this feeling like a dessert.

Celestia and four other royal guards ran into my room, but she no longer saw me as her sister, but only me. I'm a Nightmare Moon. And that was the beginning of my rebellion against injustice. If justice does not come to me, then I must come to it myself.

Celestia's eyes widened when she saw my new look. "What's going on? Where is my Sister?" Celestia whispered, and started backing away when she saw my look and recognized her changed sister in me.

I started walking slowly and gracefully towards these ponies. "Your sister?" I decided to gloat over this bitch. "Your sister is a little busy right now, but she asked me to tell the servants to clean this room of all this garbage." I said in a fake kind voice, and pointed with my nose towards the glass fragments from the window and the broken mirror. "So, as of tonight, you can take on this responsibility. Oh and please... don't make me ask twice!" I had already uttered the last words in a threatening voice when I saw that the guards were pointing their spears at me.

These guards were clearly afraid of me, as I could hear their bodies shaking. Celestia swallowed the lump in her throat and whispered: "Run away from here..." And squinted at the guards.

After that, all four guards looked at each other questioningly, but still held their spears in my direction. And it started to annoy me. I looked indignantly at the frightened Celestia. "Where did you get these idiots? Look what you've turned the pony kingdom into! Even the Royal Guard dares to doubt the orders of the ruler! This is unacceptable! And you, with your faint-hearted and too soft rule, lax all the ponies! And now, you will reap the fruits whose seeds you sowed!" After these threatening words, I bumped my nose into the nose of the shaking Celestia, and squinted at the same shaking guards. "GET AWAY FROM ME! If I see you in this palace..." But I didn't have time to finish.

Celestia gathered her resolve, and courage, pushed me in the chest with her hoof. "THAT'S ENOUGH! BRING MY SISTER BACK NOW!" Celestia shouted, and stood in a fighting stance, pointing her horn at me.

At that moment, I heard the sound of many pairs of hooves in the corridor, and a minute later three dozen royal guards were standing in this room.

I stood in the center of this room, and enjoyed the fear of all these ponies. A smirk appeared on my face, and I bared my fangs, but still kept my determined eyes on this bitch who has the audacity to call me her sister. I didn't feel sorry for these ponies... they rejected me. Now it's my turn. And I already fully trusted my new essence, which fills my soul with this sweet feeling.

"Hmm... And you're a pretty brave and selfish bitch. How do you say your name? Ah.... yes..." I decided to gloat again and squatted down and continued my game. "Is your name Celestia?" I looked at one of the officers, who stood out among all with his determination and courage, as he stood closest to me, and held his gladius with a hoof, pointing this weapon in my direction. "How do you like Celestia?" I asked without hiding the grin in my voice and looked seductively at this officer.

The Guard officer obviously had a greater thought process than all those idiots who were pointing spears in my direction. "I'm sorry to interfere with your plans, Princess Luna... But, why don't you just explain, to all of us, the reason for all this mess. You know that..."

I glared at this officer when he called my past name. The name that gave me the fate of being a princess in the background. I'm sick of that name. "Shut up, stallion! And if you want to live, and then faithfully serve your new mistress, then get out of here and take all these cowards with you. I'm not bloodthirsty, take my word for it, but if necessary, I can convince anyone in this room, including your fucking Celestia, that it's better not to argue with me!" I said in a threatening voice and approached this stallion so that the tip of his gladius rested against my armored breastplate.

Celestia was breathing nervously, and all this time she was silently watching me. But when she heard my words, she decided to show all her concern for her subjects. "Leave immediately! Please leave me alone with my sister!" Celestia said in a trembling voice, and tears flowed from her eyes.

The officer, who was holding the gladius in my direction, threw his sword on the floor and looked at the ceiling, but keeping a stoic spirit, he breathed air through his nostrils several times. After that, he exchanged glances with all the royal guards who were waiting for his personal order. "Equestria Royal Guard! What does the law of every royal guardsman, say if the ruling sisters are at odds with each other?" The officer asked and looked seriously at the other officer.

"We must lay down our weapons, and stand as a wall between the two sisters!" The junior officer of the guard replied in a resolute voice, and after that he also threw his gladius aside.

All the guards threw their weapons aside and took off their helmets, and were encouraged in spirit. After that, they hurried to stand in two rows between me and Celestia.

I looked at all this spectacle overcoming my patience. I even started to feel like my original essence was asking me to make concessions and not be cruel to these ponies. Yes... I'm a Nightmare Moon, but I'm not a ruthless bitch.

Celestia and I sat down on our haunches, continuing to transfer our gaze to each other, and to these brave guards. Maybe some of them were half-witted, but the courage in their act was obvious.

"Luna..." Said Celestia in a low voice, seeing my drooping gaze.

But it was that name, that word, that made me stand on all my hooves again. "The one you call your sister isn't here anymore!" After these words, I aimed my horn, which was already being charged with a strong magical aura, towards Celestia, although there were guards between us. "You have one last chance! Submit to the NEW PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT! And then I will leave all of you to live..." I said in a threatening voice, and bared a toothy grin.

I saw how each guardsman confidently looked in front of him, but did not budge. They have chosen their path...

"SISTER! PLEASE, DON'T DO THIS!!!" Celestia shouted, but seeing that her words were hopeless, she changed the strong teleportation magic, just at the moment when I had accumulated all the magical energy in my horn, shot in her direction.

Celestia was able to teleport herself and all the guards to an unknown destination. But I'm sure she'll be out for a long time after that. At this time, I raised head and looked at the missing part of the wall in this room. It was such a strong magic shot that the castle itself ceased to be viable. A little more and it will fall apart. Then I flew off to find my sethra, but then I screwed up a little. Celestia was standing in the center of a dilapidated castle, and six spheres were flying in her magical aura. Elements of Harmony.

What happened after that, it already hurts me to remember. And I don't want that. Although, it is already known. I could have killed my beloved sister... But the Higher Powers intervened, who had been watching us all this time. They have disposed of our destinies in this way. I remained the same, little Luna, who will play a supporting role, and my sister will take on the role of leader. I swear, these Keepers, as always, are plotting something for the distant future. Even I, unable to understand this plan.

But that is another story.

And then one day, while in captivity, I prayed to the stars and asked them not to leave me. In my prayers, I asked the Higher Powers to send me hope and comfort! As I stared into space, tears of remorse flowed from my eyes. And these tears soared up, further and further, until an unknown force gathered them together. Then I saw someone's spirit descend to me from the sky, holding in his hands a star sprinkled with my tears, it was the spirit of a comet, and one of the Keeper of the World. He walked around me in a circle and stood next to my face.

"Glory to you, Princess of the Night! I've brought you some good news. Your prayer has been answered, and you will receive your Consolation! I love and respect you so much, and I won't let your soul suffer. And from that moment on, a filly will be born from my spirit, who will share your soul with you." And after these words, he touched my chest with his warming hand and took out a particle of soul fire from my heart. "This is your reward for patience and peace. Your daughter, born not in body, but in spirit. I will place her in your home world so that she, having passed her thorny path, will take on part of your burden and suffering. Although, I foretell that a great reward awaits her in the end. But you have to pay for everything..." Said Keeper of the World, and again turned into the spirit of the comet.

Then this spirit flew to heaven and took my daughter, part of my suffering, to my home planet. And I found hope for salvation.

In one of the villages in the province of Phyllidelphia, a large earth pony stallion was walking along a park alley. He was going to meet his favorite waitress in a local pub for a drink after work, but then he heard a foal crying from the bushes. The stallion parted the bushes and saw there a basket in which lay a newborn unicorn foal, with blue hair and whitish with a blue tail and mane. There was a note in the basket with the words: Help this soul not to die!

The stallion took the basket with his hooves, pressed it to his chest and said. "And what kind of whore could do that, leave such a cute foal in the bushes!?" After that, he looked at the floor of this foal. "So you're a filly. Well, that's good too. Uh, I'll take you home, and then my wife and I will decide what to do with you!"And, taking the basket in his teeth, he decided to change his plans about drinking and go home. But before he could get far away, a sound like a whistle was heard behind him. He turned around to see what it was, and, frightened, pulled the basket out of his mouth. Over the whole village in this already darkened evening, the sky was illuminated by a column of white fiery ray, directed high and directed towards the night luminary. The whole spectacle continued for another five minutes. Then everything instantly stopped and calmed down. And only the cry of the foal crawling out of the basket brought the stallion to his senses. He grabbed the basket with his teeth, still coming in confusion and fear. He ran to his house, remembering his late grandmother, who loved him very much, and her name was Beatrix.

Luna looked at the sleepy Discord and gulped down all the wine from the bottle. “I want to say to you, thank you for listening, my soul felt calmer from what I shared with someone. By the way, amazing wine!"

Discord raised his head from the table and began to walk around the room back and forth, and finally came up to Luna to hug her. "But in this whole story, I don't understand one thing. Why, when you were freed from your exile, didn't you find Trixie and accept her as your daughter?" Discord asked in a calm voice, still maintaining a thoughtful look on his face.

Luna looked into his eyes and said. "Take my word for it. I have dreamed many times to brag to Celestia and other ponies that I have a daughter who was not born like all of them! But this is exactly the fact that holds me back! You're not a fool, and you know it perfectly well. If everyone finds out the truth, what will become of my fate! But first of all, what can become of Trixie, who has lived the fate of an orphan and has always tried to fight these hardships. At some point she just couldn't stand it, just like me! She put on the mask of a proud mare who can cope with any problem! That's all, my fault in part... But can I be considered guilty of having a daughter who bears my burden from a part? Now imagine for a minute. I enter the throne room, in the assembly of all ministers and politicians, and after that I announce that Beatrix is my daughter..."

Discord put a chaotic paw to Luna's mouth, and looked seriously into her eyes. "You know that sooner or later, this truth will come to light. And you will tell it yourself. Start with your sister, and those you trust. I'm sure it's not worth making a problem out of it, but you need to dedicate your loved ones to it. I'll keep your secret, of course, but... Please, Luna, remember that you have to pay for everything. But there will always be those who love you with you! And I'm among them. Heh... It's a good thing we're not being overheard by other ponies right now. Otherwise, I'm sure I would have had to run away from journalists."

These words from the Lord of Chaos made Luna smile erotically, although she was grateful. "Discord?"

"What?" Discord asked with a slight grin and released Luna from the embrace of his chaotic paws.

Princess Luna narrowed her eyes and stared at Discord. "I am sure that soon, all journalists will write only the best headlines and materials about you in the newspapers. The main thing is to stay the same as you behaved in my company."

Discord decided to change the subject and sat down on his chair again. "Luna, why don't you visit our alien in his dreams? I think it would be a good idea." Said Discord and began playfully tossing one of the poker cards with the value "Jack".

Luna grinned, and went trustingly to her bed. "Great idea, Discord! I'll do that. If you want, you can go to my huge bed and keep me company." Said Princess Luna taking off her silver shoes.

But when Luna turned around, Discord was no longer in this room. "Hmm... As always, Discord is playing its game..." Said Luna with indignation in her voice and went to bed.

The next day. Canterlot Palace.

Princess Celestia lay down on a pillow in her office and studied the scrolls of documents, then adjusted a pen and a blank sheet of paper. She remembered that the holiday was coming, and wanted to invite Twilight Sparkle and her friends to the palace for a party in a narrow circle. Well, at the same time arrange this long-awaited meeting with an alien, introduce everyone and determine the fate of their guest from another world. Of course, if he's still alive! Otherwise, Discord can be unpredictable! He can ruin everything and overdo it. Yes, Celestia promised not to interfere with their plan, but sometimes such plans have to be adjusted.

However, the meeting of this stranger with a pony cannot go smoothly, especially if it is a pony from Canterlot. And Princess Celestia had to plan this move, which would look like an acting game, with the participation of many ponies and a man. Otherwise, all these politicians will be outraged that the supreme power does not take security measures.

Celestia finished her letter and lit the horn to send the scroll to Twilight. Then she rang the bell to summon one of her secretaries and gave instructions.

And when the secretary entered and bowed to the princess, Celestia hurried to give instructions: "I ask you to invite the commander of the 4th Guards Company, Major Quick Strike, to me." A pink unicorn mare with a golden mane bowed and left the office.

Ten minutes later, the major in question, a brown pegasus with a short gray mane and tail, was standing at the reception in front of Princess Celestia. There was a sense of combat experience in his appearance. He wasn't just a shitty staff officer like those numerous Praetorian unicorns who served as palace guards and behaved like masquerading idiots at Her Majesty's parades!

Under his command was a select detachment of air special forces. Usually these pegasi were armed with short crossbows attached to the front left hoof, but they were also trained in hoof-to-hoof combat with a short sword. Their goal was to exhaust the ground troops and then engage in close combat. But in peacetime, this unit was used to detain criminals and as a rapid response group. In general, it was a kind of air special forces, which is able to quickly get to the right position and complete the task.

Major Quick Strike calmly waited for Celestia to sign the papers so that he would finally find out the purpose of this assignment. However, he did not miss the moment, to look at this beauty in front of him with an appraising glance, her curves and neck.

And so Celestia put her stamp on the document and gave it to the major. Then she rose from her throne and walked almost firmly to Major Quick Strike and looked seriously into his impassive face. "You must set off on the indicated course, find and capture the indicated in the documents, the pony and the one who will accompany her. This is a two-legged creature and it can be dangerous! BUT REMEMBER! NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE should be hurt while completing this task! Do you understand me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I got it! May I proceed with the execution of this order?" Quick Strike replied in the manner of a senior officer who does not care about the dangers, and he will carry out any order. The commander of the special forces put a hoof to his head, saluting and paying respect to Princess Celestia. However, he still remembered her little games in the past.

But before giving an answer, Celestia walked around Quick Strike, and as if accidentally touched him with her tail and mane. But after that, she brought her face in intimate proximity to the Quick Strike. "I hope you don't hold a grudge against me for not having much time for you." Celestia whispered, and carefully studied the features of this pegasus.

Major Quick Strike kept his face impenetrable, however, at the last words he heard from Celestia, his ear and eye twitched nervously. He looked lovingly into Celestia's charming eyes. "I don't hold a grudge against you. I understand perfectly well that we have such a fate that we have to put up with. Now, may I go?" Quick Strike said in a low voice, preserving the privacy of this environment.

But Celestia did not miss her chance, and squatting down, affectionately hugged Quick Strike around the neck, to which the officer himself certainly did not mind, and hugged the princess around the waist.

"Be careful, this could be a dangerous assignment. Now go and do my errand. In the evening, I will be waiting for your report in my office." Celestia whispered in Quick Strike's ear.

After that, they slowly released their affectionate, and even a little loving embrace. Major Quick Strike bowed again and winked conspiratorially, then left the office.

Celestia lay back down on her pillow, and looked at her empty cup, with the remnants of tea at the bottom. "Oh... this pegasus... he is my second life, which is unknown to anyone." Whispered Celestia, talking to herself.

Major Quick Strike walked out of the throne room, holding a scroll of orders in his saddlebag, and headed for the guards' barracks. When he entered his office and sat down at the table, the first thing he did was to study the document and this is what he saw.

Order: Send the 3rd platoon of the 4th Guards Company of Air Special Forces to intercept and capture one unicorn pony (hereinafter data description, name, etc.), as well as one bipedal alien. Approximate location of the North Trail area in Canterlot. In case of resistance, the use of force is allowed, but the Targets must be delivered alive. If this is not possible, an emergency retreat is allowed!

The commander of the air special forces, after reading the order, swore at the stupidity of his superiors. Even if it's an order from his secret patroness, and maybe even his mistress. "Why did my need his squad for these purposes? She could send a regular guard of unicorns and Earth ponies. Hmm... an alien? This is already getting interesting. Perhaps I jumped to conclusions, and Celestia is still not a fool! Heh."

Then he scratched the back of his head with a hoof, took a flask of cognac from the safe, took one sip and, grimacing at the strength of the drink, exhaled. "I would like to hope that this will not be a big problem, and one platoon will be more than enough. After all, we're not going to war!" Quick Strike said with a slight indignation in his voice.

"Duty Officer!" The major shouted into the corridor of the barracks.

A white pegasus wearing a safety helmet entered his office and made a presentation: "Senior Lieutenant Shaggy Hoof, has arrived at your order, sir!"

"Gather all the guys from the third platoon, take the rubber-tipped bolts from the arsenal. We are on a mission assigned by Princess Celestia. Execute the order!"

The duty officer put a hoof to his helmet. "Yes, sir!" The officer reported and ran away to carry out the order.

The major once again expressed his disapproval of the upcoming mission: "Idiocy, but an order, there is an order! And for so many years, I've already gotten used to running errands for this mare, while I've always felt like her toy! Hm... she uses air special forces in her intrigues... Apparently, some changes are coming in our lives." Quick Strike said, in a low voice, standing in front of the mirror and checking the clasps on his armor, pulled the helmet over his head, and with curses went to the arsenal.

Heart Path POV. Continuation.

Our journey took about two hours, and I noticed that Trixie was walking beside me with her eyes closed. Yes, it made sense, the time was later. My glasses were still set to Earth time and showed 2:27. I felt that I was about to fall off my feet and, placing my hand on Trixie's back, gently pushed her to get attention. She turned her head towards me but her eyes were half-closed and she began to yawn.

“Trixie, we need to take a break and get some sleep. Go to your van, I'll pitch a tent, but first I need to get these containers off the air." I said the last words with a slight irritation from my position and continued to develop my idea further. "Night Fog will be on guard all this time. I am sure that we are under reliable protection."

Trixie shook her head in the affirmative, and our little caravan stopped. "Yes, Heart Path..." But she didn't have time to finish, and I no longer heard her panicked screams.

My exhausted body, because of the events of the last twenty hours, was against this idea, besides, the effect of these drugs have a side effect, and naturally cause drowsiness. I fell into the snow, losing consciousness...

Visions in a dream.

If this continues, then I will not be able to fulfill my mission.

It's been ten years since I finished my military service. I remembered how our repair company of forty soldiers and officers went all night to the place of evacuation of multiple rocket launchers. These were combat exercises, but they were close to reality. I was walking right behind the company commander, with a Kalashnikov assault rifle on my shoulder and a drum on the other! Yes, yes, I was a drummer in our company, and I always went ahead of the column with our commander.

We were accompanied by several armored cars, it was cold outside because of the strong wind. The face was so frozen that even icicles hung from our eyelashes. But we are soldiers, and we must endure all these hardships, show patience and courage. We walked for a good four hours on a snowy country road. Many were already tired, but the commander ordered us to go to the camp for another three hours without stopping. We heard curses from the column, but the commander, as always, was cheerful, answered these curses with jokes and tried to cheer up our company.

The company commander turned to me. "Private K ......!" (He gave my last name)

"I am listening, to the comrade senior lieutenant!" I answered the commander and shivered from the cold.

"Play the march with the trumpet player! Let the guys cheer up." Our commander gave an order that made me smile and finally feel useful to our company.

Note from author: In this part of the story, I want to apologize to the readers. But I wanted to convey my feelings by showing a piece of the Russian spirit.

"THAT RIGHT, Comrade Senior Lieutenant!" I replied in a cheered voice, and took out my drumsticks and transferred the drum to my stomach. Then I nodded to the trumpeter walking next to me, and we continued our way to the "military march". (Farewell Slavyanki)

I heard the approving voices of the marching soldiers from our company. And do you know how it immediately got warmer, especially on the right side? I turned my head towards this phenomenon and saw something that made me laugh heartily!

Princess Luna was walking next to me with a flowing blue mane! With a mixture of emotions, I looked around and saw a pony with wings following me. I remembered that in mythology they are called "Pegasus". They wore gold armor with black stripes, and their helmets reminded me of the Roman Praetorian Guard! They marched in an even formation in a column of three ponies. I looked at the princess again, but I didn't have time to say a word.

"What? You have an interesting dream, don't get distracted, I'm interested to see a piece of your world in your memories." The princess asked me as if nothing had happened.

I rolled my eyes at all this, I think I've already lost my mind. But after looking at Princess Luna, who was silently looking at me, I turned my head and said. "It's been half a month since you met me in a dream, and after everything I saw in the first hours of my stay in your world... Equestria, right? Well, the first thing you're going to tell me is "WHAT?" Hmm... I think my robot friend will have a good company of jokers. Do you even know, that all these two weeks, I've been falling asleep every time with the thought and desire to see you again?" I asked, not hiding my slight indignation, and a little shamefacedly lowered my gaze to look at her silver shoes on her hooves. "To hell with it all... I'm really happy to see you again." I whispered, and slowly raised my gaze to look into Luna's eyes again.

Princess Luna smiled charmingly at me and spoke innocently. “I have to ask your forgiveness, Heart Path. But I couldn't stay in the dreamland of your world as often as I would like. This is very expensive magic. And the last time I saw you, I woke up very weak... I missed you too. I wanted to give you a little surprise." Luna replied in an apologetic voice, and her cheeks flushed slightly, but her big eyes continued to fascinate me.

Yes, it was Lady Luna who was the first pony I saw in my world at that time. And even then I admitted to myself that I liked her. Although this is unusual. In the evenings I often wondered this question: "What happened to me? I am a person who could not find something that could ignite fire and passion in me. Maybe I was a loser? Or maybe just the opposite. I was lucky. And now I'm standing like a fool and looking at the blue mare. But this princess mare had her own charm. There was something that made my heart feel alive, and not just a stone with a lifeless look." I thought a little and, listening to the feelings of my heart, I followed this path. The path of my heart.

"Luna..." I put my arms around her neck and pressed her head tightly to my chest. "Forgive me, if I'm doing this too boldly in your opinion, but I've only seen you once, and from that moment on I've been waiting for our meeting as if all my life!"

And after these sincere words, which sounded like a confession of feelings, I kissed her hard on the lips. And I don't regret that I acted so bravely. Her eyes widened in surprise, and at first she protested a little, even tried to slap me in the back with a hoof. But after a while she calmed down and began to show interest in this intimacy herself. Her hooves began to stroke my shoulders and back, her wings hugged me, and her eyes closed to surrender to this sweet moment.

Then she threw me onto a cloud that suddenly appeared below us in my dream. She crawled onto my stomach, and brought her face closer in intimate proximity, and sparks of passion sparkled in her eyes, like those very stars in her mane. We understood that perhaps this chance should be used, and there is nothing wrong with that.

And when I hugged her neck, her lips touched my lips, and she stuck her wide tongue into my mouth. But this whole scene in the dream world had its own difference from the real world. That's why Luna freed her face from our kisses.

With lowered eyelids, in whose eyes there was a blue light, she said gently: "You know? I have never experienced this in a dream, but in reality for a long time. It was not usual, but I like it. We will have to try it again, just not in the world of dreams." Then she got off my body and backed away with her hind hooves. But once her face was at the level of my hips, she stopped to look in surprise at the bulge in my pants. Heh, I myself did not expect such a reaction from myself and therefore looked at the princess with embarrassment.

She looked up from my crotch and slowly raised her head with a seductive smile and purred: "I will wait for you, but please help Trixie, don't leave her." Then she smoothly rose into the sky on her wings, said goodbye to me in a serious tone. "You must wake up, I feel trouble..." And flew away, leaving me to watch the colors of the starry night blur my vision.

Coming to my senses, I began to feel that my mouth is open and my tongue caresses someone's wide tongue, and someone's saliva is flowing down my throat. I abruptly opened my eyes and saw a certain blue unicorn, a mare! Her mane ran down my cheeks and her eyes were closed.

Heh! What the hell is going on here and why is Trixie lying on my chest and kissing me with her tongue in my mouth? But she is definitely asleep, because I can hear her breathing even through my nose, and she makes all these movements in her sleep! I gently placed my hands on her head to free myself from her grip, but she began to press her body closer to me. Although she does not realize that she is doing all this in reality with her body, her mind is definitely in a dream world...

Stop! What are these voices and shouts outside and the clank of metal? Night Fog!

Trixie POV.

6 hours ago.

In front of my eyes, this man just fell face first into the snow! And it looks like he lost consciousness... or maybe our problems are even worse...

"HEY! Heart Path! Oh, no..." I shouted in a panicked voice to attract the attention of Night Fog robot. I ran up to him, fearing for his life, and turned on the magic to lift him with levitation.

The robot Night Fog came up to us and scared me with his unusual voice: "Lady Trixie! It seems that Heart Path is very tired, and my sensors showed that there is a possibility of slight frostbite. Please take care of him. Don't let him die!" The robot pleaded in his kind but unusual voice, then he headed towards the containers hanging from the rope that were tied to the van.

I looked at my van, then at the man hanging in my magical grip, and anxiety appeared in my soul. I brought his body to my only bed in the van. Then I covered him with a blanket and nuzzled his forehead. He was frozen. I looked into the face of this man who appeared in my life, falling from the sky. And I suddenly remembered how he touched my back and gently stroked me.

During these memories, my tail began to show signs of life, whipping me on the sides. And with a confused face, I moved away from the bed where my new friend was sleeping, and lay down on the floor next to him, throwing on my star cloak. But it was uncomfortable to fall asleep on the floor, and I was already pretty tired. I got up on my hooves again and looked at the man. "Horse apples, this is my bed!" And with these words, I carefully jumped on the bed so as not to injure the sleeping Heart Path, lay down on his chest, and then covered us with a blanket. "I hope, I won't regret it... Aah-mmm, that's pretty erotic. He better not be surprised when he wakes up." And with these words, I began to fall asleep, gently laying my head on the chest of this man. In my left ear, I distinctly heard his infrequent heartbeat. Well, I'll warm him up.

POV Night Fog

It was 5 hours and 40 minutes after Trixie dragged the man into the van.

I decided that everything would be fine with my friend and Lady Trixie. But I need to keep them safe.

When a group of air special forces landed near the parking lot of vans, where a robot pony was sitting nearby, one of the junior officers, the deputy commander of the company, Captain Bastion, decided to express his concerns and approached Major Quick Strike.

"Sir! We're here. What kind of scarecrow is sitting next to the van, have you ever seen something like this?" Captain Bastion said in an excited voice.

"No, Captain. But now we'll find out who it is, and what the hell is going on here." Said Quick Strike in an low voice, and turned to the platoon. "Senior Sergeant Grad, Sergeant Tornado. Both of you, go to investigate, and find out from this freak who he is, what he is and where Beatrix Lulamoon is! This may be the same alien about whom it is written in the order. Be careful! I don't want to scrape your bodies off the trees..." Commanded Quick Strike.

"Yes, sir!" Both pegasus responded, and went out of order to go to the so-called reconnaissance.

The commander of the special forces continued to give commands, actually guessing a little about the role that Princess Celestia assigned to him and his unit. The weather outside was not so cold anymore, and the snowfall ended three hours ago. And this, without a doubt, represented ideal conditions for flight.

"Sergeant First Class, Rude Dancer! Take your squad into the air and spread out so as to surround this van, but keep at the maximum distance. We don't need surprises." Then he called the rest of the group to surround the van at a safe distance, only on the ground. "Every pony should be extremely careful, in case of resistance, shoot rubber bolts!"

Night Fog sat and calmly watched as two ponies with wings approached him. And when they were standing two steps away from him and exchanging remarks, one of them spoke.

"Hey, hello! Are you even alive?" One of the pegasuses shook his hoof in front of the robot's eyes and, after making sure that there was no reaction, shrugged his shoulders. And then he turned to his partner and said. “I don't understand anything. What kind of thing is this anyway? He's kind of metallic, but his eyes are alive. He just looks at me with piercing eyes."

"Heh... So this is probably the same alien. Except I don't like that he looks like a pony. Is this an invasion?" The second pegasus asked and approached the robot, carefully studying its motionless body.

The second pegasus decided to attract the robot's attention once again. "Ahem... ahem... Mister, will you stop fooling around and tell me your name? After all, at this moment you are on the territory of the Kingdom of Equestria, and you are clearly not here legally! Which means you're under arrest..." After these words, the sergeant suddenly fell silent when he saw the robot's eyes light up with red lights. "Horse apples! You have to see this!" The sergeant said in a frightened voice and cautiously reached out with his hoof to the gladius that hangs on his belt.

The second pegasus with a sullen face stood right in front of the robot, and nervously twitched his ears. "Uh... Mister? Are you all right? No, I'm tired of you already. Can you stop being silent when talk to you?!" The second pegasus said in a loud, angry voice, and after that, unable to stand his emotions, he began to push the robot in the chest. "AH! It's heavy!" Senior Sergeant Grad said in a grumpy voice. "Damn it! I hope we're not doing anything stupid." And he began to tap the robot's face with his hoof, in order to finally test his patience and make sure of the possible danger.

Yes, it was stupid of them.

Night Fog, and would have been happy to enter into negotiations with these pegasuses, but he did not have a corresponding order, and his last protocol was prioritized to ensure the safety of his partner, Heart Path. Therefore, he did not utter a word, but kept a hidden video recording all the time. And what if these ponies can threaten security, or are they robbers at all? Therefore, Night Fog took a wait-and-see tactic.

Senior Sergeant Grad narrowed his eyes, and began to feel the tension hanging. "Sergeant Tornado, go and get into this van, and I'll try to study this guy. It looks like it's not an alien, but one of those magical golems that can serve their magicians. Although... to be honest, I haven't seen this before."

"Hey! Be careful, even if it's a magic golem, it doesn't mean that he..." But Sergeant Tornado didn't have time to finish, watching as his partner threw off feelings of fear and took a resolute look pulled his hooves to the head of this so-called magic golem.

Night Fog definitely did not like so rude act... So he decided to teach these curious pegasi a little lesson.

Scanning ... ... ... Attention. The objects have taken hostile actions. Activate the neutralization protocol without lethal outcome.

The moment pegasus tried to hit the robot in the head again, Night Fog sharply raised his metal hoof and taking a hit said angrily. "Do not do So!" Then he turned around and kicked his hind hooves into the chest of the pegasus, sent him flying, a good ten meters. The robot decided to improvise a little and turned on its music, then ran terrifyingly to the next intruder.

The second pegasus watched in amazement as his friend flew away and lost consciousness. Then he slowly turned his head towards the robot and widened his eyes in horror. A metal hoof flew at his face!

CRACKLE!!!

"AAY!"

At this time, Major Quick Strike gave the command: "OPEN FIRE!!! Damn it! Someone fly after our guys while we distract this bastard!" Then he flew away with his deputy and started shooting a crossbow at this metal monster. "Who the hell are you? Captain! Order the surrounding group to engage in close combat all together! It looks like our bolts are just flying off him!"

Pegasi began to fly in a circle and shoot at the robot with rubber bolts, to which Night Fog did not react in any way. But he was scanning and making calculations all the time, and at this time rubber bolts crashed into his metal body and bounced in different directions. He needed to somehow neutralize this group of security violators, but to begin with, he did not have enough information about the capabilities of these pegasi. However, even a robot may have a limited resource called patience.

Night Fog, saw that he was surrounded and attacked by the whole mass, made a tactical decision. "Attention. I'm activating the smoke screen." Said the voice of the computer, which also had to notify partner, Heart Path that the robot may have got into trouble and is active. Provided that Heart Path has already woken up, and is not very busy in the company of Lady Trixie! Night Fog was a smart robot, therefore, there is no doubt about his actions.

But the pegasi were not fools. They rose into the sky and began to circle around the robot, scattering its smoke. And, flying in a circle, they continued to shoot at the robot, forming something similar (tactics of the Mongolian cavalry). It didn't bother night fog because he wasn't a fool either. But sometimes, he was just an insufferable prankster! Scanning targets through a smoke screen, he decided to take this step.

A hatch opened on his back and a twin machine gun mount came out. He calculated the flight path of all the pegasuses and decided to open a warning fire, sending a queue of tracers. But only so as not to harm them. Fortunately, the aiming functions were normal. And it was an extreme step to finally attract the attention of his friends from the van!

The pegasus flying in a circle, naturally, realized the threat to their lives and stopped flying, but began to hover in the air, pressing their hooves to their ears. Everyone had painful grimaces on their faces from these sounds and flying whistles.

"Ha ha ha! Well, what did the horse partridges get!? Everyone land, and lie face down in the snow! In case of refusal, I will perceive your actions as a real security threat and open fire to kill!" The robot gloatingly screamed in its mechanical voice.The pegasus flying in a circle, naturally, realized the threat to their lives and stopped flying, but began to hover in the air, pressing their hooves to their ears. Everyone had painful grimaces on their faces from these sounds and flying whistles.

All the pegasi nervously exchanged glances among themselves, and waited for an order from their commander.

Captain Bastion swallowed a lump in his throat and looked at Major Quick Strike, who was arriving in a trance. "Commander, what are we going to do? This monster can tear us apart! We don't even have time to leave! In any case, not all of them!"

And then Major Quick Strike gave the legendary order, the only one in his entire service. "And don't do anything, stop, die!"

The commander of the air special forces remembered the instructions of the princess. But under the circumstances, he could not retreat without losses. The metal monster, which looked like a pony, had the advantage, despite the fact that he was alone. In addition, there are already two unconscious pegasus in the team. He shook his head and angrily uttered a command. "Do as he says! I don't need losses..."

All the pegasi shrugged their shoulders, flew to the ground and lay down on the snow, stretching out their hooves in front of them, thereby showing their defeat.

At that very moment, the door of the van opened and Trixie and Heart Path stepped out. The man examined the picture unfolding in front of him... Morning. Snow. Country road. The van is standing near the forest belt. Robot Night Fog holds sixteen winged, bronze-armored ponies at gunpoint with their machine guns. Gunpowder smell from recent shots.

The man thoughtfully looked at the sky in the resulting silence and shouted into the air with curses: “What the hell, Luna!? AND I'M STILL SLEEPING!!!"

Heart Path POV. Continuation.

I kept lying down, and was already starting to get nervous, and Trixie was still lying on top of me! I hear some voices outside the van, and if it's some ponies, then I wouldn't want them to see me in such a relaxed position. Trixie's tongue gently caressed my tongue, and I won't lie, I felt good and all that, but... my face is covered in her drool! And the most important thing is that my thrusts into her sides have no effect, she stubbornly does not want to wake up. Most likely, she is also very tired, and I can understand her.

"Mmhmm..." Trixie moaned into my mouth, and started rubbing against my stomach.

Fuck! It looks like I'll have to stop her after all, otherwise it's not good. She doesn't realize that she's doing it in a dream, and most likely, now she's imagining some kind of stallion in my place. Heheh... It looks like I'm going to have a long conversation with her when we have time for that, and all this shit is over.

Suddenly, the sound of a machine gun shot came from the street, and the familiar cry of my robot.

Trixie opened her eyes abruptly, and I could feel her heart beating fast in her chest. "Mhaa..." She looked at me indignantly, or rather at my slobbery face. "What the hell was that? And why are you lying in my bed... AAH! Oh... Forgive me, Heart Path..." Trixie said in a low, apologetic voice, and began to blush.

I was finally able to catch my breath, and I would like to laugh, but we didn't have time for that. "I understand everything, Trixie, but let's leave this conversation for later! We urgently need to get out of the van! It looks like Night Fog got into trouble. I heard voices, probably prenadlizhih ponies, and after that there were several shots! Hurry up, Trixie, get off me, it's already hard for me to breathe!" I said in a burst of emotion, and to be sure, playfully slapped my girlfriend on the side.

"Hey! I agree. We'll talk later! The Great and Mighty Trixie has not yet allowed the stallion or... to you... slap her ass! Heh... although... As I understand it, I have fulfilled my role as a hot water bottle, so you can thank me later." Trixie replied with a slight indignation in her voice, but it sounded like something she liked. Perhaps she very rarely experiences such closeness and playfulness with stallions.

When Trixie finally jumped out of bed, she took a towel out of the trunk and magically handed it to me. "Hold this, it looks like you need to clean up. Heheh... Excuse me, once again."

I was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking for my equipment, and taking a towel in my hands, I began to wipe my face from Trixie's drool. "Heh... Thank you very much, Trixie. Perhaps, without you, I could have died twice already. By the way, where are my glasses and gloves? And we need to hurry up!" I said in a determined voice and got up from the edge of the bed. My head only fell a little short of the ceiling of this van.

"Oh, I took care of that." Trixie answered, and opened another chest, in which I noticed some kind of inventory for her performances in public. "Here you go!"

I took my stuff from Trixie's magical aura... which of course makes me still get used to this kind of effects, and put on cap, and equipment. Thanking Trixie for her concern, I finally got out of the van, and my friend jumped out after me.

But what I saw left a lot of questions in my head. And there is not a little doubt about the fact that, in fact, I still haven't woken up! Night Fog was squatting about three dozen meters from our van, and held his machine guns at gunpoint exactly the same armored pegasi that I saw in my dream!

I backed away slightly, and my eye began to twitch nervously, and Trixie, just like that, stood next to me and did not dare to utter a word, trying to understand what was going on in this "Wonderful morning".

“What the hell, Luna!? AND I'M STILL SLEEPING!!!" I shouted into the sky trying to find this prankster, who is apparently now playing this joke with my dream with me.

But there was no answer, Trixie made a grimace on her face, as well as accepting the surprised eyes, decided to attract my attention. "It's not a dream. This is reality". Then she touched her hoof to my healing wound, which caused a grimace on my face.

I made a painful grimace on my face and rubbed my leg with the palm of my hand. Why did you do that? Wait... you don't have to answer." I said in a painful voice, then I walked up to my robot and, without taking my eyes off pegasus, who looked like those I saw in my dream, gave the command to the robot. "Night Fog! Report."

“Ser. A group of unknown winged ponies attempted a hostile invasion. And since these ponies are sentient beings of this world, I activated the non-lethal neutralization protocol. The automatic task is complete. The targets are being held captive."

I smiled and said: "Well done, Night Fog. Now, for God's sake, put those machine guns away!" I commanded, then approached a group of pegasi lying on the snow. I noticed two pegasi who were apparently unconscious. One of them was bleeding from the nose.

All this time, all the pegasi silently and even curiously watched my actions. It is understandable, because right now a real revolution has happened in their lives. They saw for the first time two alien bastards who bring trouble. But, it's not my fault! However, I have to talk to my robot, and perhaps, adjust the installation in the security program so that such situations no longer arise. We don't want any trouble. Because we are guests here, and we should not behave aggressively! It looks like Night Fog should get a couple of kicks on its metal ass. But, to be honest, I'm afraid of him!

I turned to the robot with a raised eyebrow, crossed my arms over my chest and asked:"Night fog?! Can you explain it?" I said with undisguised seriousness and a little anger in my voice, after that I pointed my finger at the unconscious pegasus.

Night Fog put his machine guns in the open hatch on his back, and decided to give his answer: "I can send you a video report to your device. If it's convenient for you. Now is clearly not the best time to explain."

Turning my head, I agreed to the proposed version of the robot's report. I think this may be useful to local authorities. Then I went back to the pegasi, and counted sixteen ponies. Trixie came up to me and I saw one brown pegasus rise to his hooves, and seriously looked at us. All the other pegasi followed suit.

I noticed that brown pegasus with a gray mane and turned to him. "As I understand you are in charge here? What is the purpose of your visit, gentlemen?"

The brown pegasus spoke: "Yes, you are right, sir! I am in command here. I have an arrest warrant, Beatrix Lulamoon and the one who is with her. As I understand you and your metal... By the way, what is this metal pony, sir? He caused trouble for two guys from my platoon."

I turned to look at Night Fog, who stood calmly next to the van and waited for the command. Then I sighed and answered the pegasi commander. "This is the one who kicked your asses! And tell me, for what reason and on whose orders should we be arrested?"

"First, let me introduce myself, sir. My name is Major Quick Strike. I am the commander of a guards company of air special forces. And take my word for it, sir, we have never met such two-legged creatures like you. Well, or such metal pony-like creatures, with an unknown us with weapons. And the order for your arrest was given by Her Majesty Princess Celestia. I had to carry it out."

Trixie ran right up to the pegasus, oblivious to the fact that she was dangerously close to the sixteen stallions, and spoke loudly with an angry tone: "Why, in the name of EQUESTRIA, should my friends and I be arrested like some kind of criminals !? Don't answer, though. We are all heading straight to the palace. And you will escort us."

"QUIET TO ALL!" I shouted into the crowd and in a calm voice addressed the group commander. "Major Quick Strike! My name is Heart Path. Lady Trixie and I agree to be arrested. Just a question. What will you do with him?" I turned my head to my robot and winked at him. He took my hint and in a matter of seconds a coaxial machine gun emerged from his back, aimed at a group of pegasi.

"Targets captured. You're all under arrest!" Said Night Fog in a completely serious voice.

All the pegasi looking at the weapons aimed at them, immediately fell to the ground."We surrender! I only beg sir to remove him! I promise we will take you to the palace, and then let the princesses deal with you personally." Quick Strike replied in a slightly trembling, loud voice.

Oh, this Night Fog with its antics. Hope we haven't angered the local authorities. I don't want to go to jail. Princess Luna is waiting for me!

Author's Note

The most interesting version of the events of the war between Celestia and Luna I read in a story called: Divided Rainbow (from the xenoverse universe).

All chapters are published in Early Access. And they certainly need editing at some point. But now I'm working on the plot and atmosphere.
