Canceled for good: making new fic

Applause and cheers filled the room, the sound overflowing into the town. Derpy took her bow, and walked off the stage and the open arms of her friends. "Did you all like it?" Se asked hopefully, looking at everypony's faces. "Of course we did, how could we not? Now all we need to do is get the recruits in shape." Rainbow Dash said with a pep in her voice. "Recruits?" Derpy asked, looking to Twilight for an explanation. "All those people you just gave that rally speech to?" Twilight asked, trying to prompt Derpy. "Yeah, what about them?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Those were the recruits." Colgate said, walking in from the stage. "But we won't need them. You all should come outside." she explained, walking back out and off the stage. Everypony else followed her, confused. And when they walked outside, the midday sun was no more. Looking up, the sky was a black sheet, with some white specks here and there. But when they looked closer, something was all too familiar.

It wasn't just the sky. It was a bed of Gryphons coming down on their heads. One unicorn was scrambling for a rifle when Colgate stopped him. One by one they landed on the ground in front of them, and gradually the sun peeked back through the Gryphonic cloud overhead. Most landed outside the city walls in chunks, until only one spiraled down. He was much larger than the rest, and donned some form of armor. His powerful wings whirled up clouds of dust as he lowered himself onto the earth. Colgate and derpy both stood at attention, and saluted. "Yes, at ease. Quite the town you have here, Ponies. But I bring news about your freinds in that other town, and I'll be perfectly... blunt: They're all dead. The town lies in ruin, a sick creation of the once-dormant Changeling war machine." Gasps and cries filled the air, stunned ponies questioned the Gryphon's words. "Wait.... The entire town? It's gone?" Colgate asked, confused. She looked to Derpy for an answer as she always did, but to no avail. "Yes, the Changelings used very high explosives.That is why we, the Grypohonic Assault Wing, wish to form an alliance with you." Silence.Derpy though long and hard, muttering to herself, but came to a conclusion rather quickly. "I'll accept that. But I wish to transfer five of your best airgryphons to be under command of our air commanders, today if possible." Dash and Bullit perked at those words, and gave each other a hoof-bump. "Aye, Joven. Send for the five we had on standby." The Gryphon he gave the order to extended his wings and shot up and over the walls, like one huge jump. "Well, while he is retreving them, why dont we go inside and work our the diplomatic stuff. One of the flyers im giving you knows what to do, and will abide by your commands." Colgate and Derpy gave a nod, and walked into the town's central bunker.

The Soldiers looked around at the foreigners in their town, nopony speaking a word. Looks were exchanged, eyes were locked, thoughts were thought. But not a word was spoken. Dash noticed one Gryphon starting at her intently, scanning her body as if he was trying to find the smallest of scratches on a freshly painted chariot. "Are you gonna tell me what you're staring at, or am I supposed to just guess!?" She said, her voice cracking a bit at the end. "Oh, no no. Im sorry, I just have never seen a pegasus of your colors before. It, uhh..... You look pretty cool." he said, taking a small step back. "Oh... well, thanks. Sorry I stepped out like that." Dash said. You guys know where you're supposed to be going?" She asked. "Wherever we're told to. You have like a... chow hall or something?"
