04/21 evening

Moonlight Blade, now a official night guard, was expecting all sorts of jobs like escorting an important vip, delivering top secret messages, guarding the princess... But cleaning the old arsenal from dust and web was NOT what she expected

Yep, the youngest daughter of Nocturne Bloodwing has the important task of cleaning the old armory with nothing but a duster, wet cloth and a bucket of soap "Why does they still have this bloody old things they are supposed to be on a museum for Luna's sake" to say she's not happy with it would be a understatement, probably because she didn't want all this...

That's right, she didn't want to join the guard but... Let's just say her father was... VERY convincing, so she did it she join the guard at the ""wishes"" of her father to and I quote 'follow the family's legacy' end quote

She sighed "where are you Izanagi..."

"Right behind you.."

She yeap adorably and instinctively jumped so high it hit the ceiling with a loud bang, she started to fall but before she could hit the hard floor she felt something grabbing her tail preventing her from felling double the pain, she looked up to see a familiar face (or rather mask)

"Sup kiddo! Long time no see" Izanagi... Her savior/friend/bodyguard and disappeared for no reason, now is in front of her... Holding her tail

"ammm... Izanagi... You can put me down now..." he tilted his head and she could feel the raised brow and smug grim

"why, I thought you Thestrals LOVED to be upside down..."

She blushed and swallowed a knot on her throat "ok.. for one that's just a myth... For two... It's... Uhmmm... Embarrassing..."

.........

"Oh... I see... Well then you're in luck I am not into beastiality..." *WAPOW*

Faster than he could react she slammed a warhammer in his head with so much power it actually made some cracks on the floor

"ok... I... Totally deserved that..." he said in a shaking voice

She gave a snort before putting the hammer back into his rightful place, then both heard clapping and they looked to the entrance spotting a mare Thestral lying on side while also clapping her hoofs and smiling smugly "Well, well, art you two a piece of art?"

Izanagi got back on his sitting position while Moonlight cringed and put a hoof on her face praying Luna that it wasn't who she thought it was, but there right at the door stood a dark gray mare with red mane, tail, eyes and wings caring a heart crossed by two daggers as cutie mark

"What do you want sister?" she asked tiredly with a tone of annoyance

Izanagi looked at the two before pointing at the new mare "hold up! THAT'S your sister?" with her nod he just looked down and shook his head

'from one sibling war to another one... Just my luck...'

The new mare looked at him with THAT face (you know the one that makes you wanna punch it) after she got close she spoke with a ""seductive"" tone "ah... Izanagi correct? My name is---"

"I gonna have to stop you riiiiiight there"He said while moving his claw in circles before booping her snout

"One: you don't make my type, two: only by looking at you I can say your not the sharpest tool in the shed and three...... Her's bigger" he said smugly while pointing at Moonlight

Both mares blushed hard although one was from embarrassment the other was from an unwielding rage even a vein was poping up

"Oh really now... Then how about we test that theory?" she said through grinding teeth While looking at her little sister

She got face to face and spoke in a cold tone "Moonlight Blade I Scarlet Bloodedge challenge you for a royal duel!"

"excuse me..."

"Whaaaat?"

"If I win your bodyguard will be mine and you will have tell EVERYPONY in this city that I am the best out of our sisters"

"w-what if I don't play along?"

Scarlet smiled devilishly "then... I guess father was right about you~"

Moonlight left eye twitched "you little... YOUR ON!!!" she said bumping into her while walking out of the room

Moonlight was obviously the most emotional of the sisters she could go from a scary cat to a raging lion if the situation is right, so it was expected of her to react so extremely

"so... Shall we my---" she stopped as she looked around the room and... There was no one there

She looked between his original spot and the door then back and forth and blinked twice before walking out but not before making the obvious question 'wen did he move' no matter how hard she tried she couldn't come up with a answer, he didn't teleport cause she didn't heard the POP noise nor did he sneak away she would have easily spotted something that big trying to sneak out... So There was on one explanation one that she couldn't believe just by theory... He's fast as fuck!

Canterlot castle: training grounds

"So... Let me see if I got that straight... You went missing cause you got TP into another AU and stayed there for a week because you had to fight wave after wave of 'shadows' and another one like you who went berserk and you had to 'calm it down'?

"Yep that's pretty much it, although you forgot the part where I do it all While looking Smoking Sexist Stylish"

She just shuck her head in bemusement "It doesn't matter, just... Don't just disappear like that alright?" she asked with worry

He looked at her for a second before saying in a low grave tone "I am sorry that I worried you... Friend..." he pat her head making her winne adorably before giving her a silvery great sword

She looked at it confusedly and took a hold of it, and to her surprise it weights very little for some reason, she looked back at him hoping for a answer only to get a shrug in return "Just a little thing I got from a friend who owned me a solid, had to get the right materials myself, but it was totally worth it if you ask me"

She looked back at the blade and for some reason she could 'feel' that something was up with this very peculiar blade, as if it was... Alive or something... It was calling upon her...

"now that's---" she was interrupted by a clear of throat coming from her least favorite sibling, she with full armor (light armor) except for the helmet which was no where in sight

"shall we begin... sister..." she spat the last word with a lot of venom Although portraying a cocky smile

Moonlight double, triple and quadruple checked her equipment before taking her new sword with her mouth she walked into the improvised arena stoping right in front of her opponent, another guard got in between them and shouted so everyone could hear "ALRIGHT EVERYPONY KNOWS THE RULES, ALL EQUIPMENTS AND SKILLS IS PERMITTED WITH THE OBVIOUS EXCLUSION OF POISON, HIDDEN BLADES ETC. THE LOSER IS THE ONE WHO CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE FIGHTING, IF NEED MORE INFO GO LOOK FOR A GUIDE"

He looked at the two mares and after a exchange of nods he retreated out of the arena, he looked back and was ready to light a little pop wen a claw stopped him, he looked up to see Izanagi with a shield and two swords at his side, the pony looked at him confused and Izanagi told him to just watch

The two mares looked at each other furiously waiting for the signal that would start the mach, There was a good second before they heard the gong that signal the start of a fearsome battle

FIGHT!

Moonlight started with a dash followed with a right to left Slash, but Scarlet dodged by taking flight, Moonlight flied after her making this a air combat, wen both stopped Scarlet dashed for a quick hit only to be blocked by Moonlight's sword but she quickly spun around and hit her in the back, Moonlight grunted and tried to hit her but she just flew back dodging her attack

Moonlight tried again and again but her sister was just way too fast... In fact too fast for Izanagi's taste, he looked around before hiding behind a pillar and rose his hand at Moonlight's direction and said under his breath "Masukukaja... Matarukaja... Marakukaja..."

Scarlet was hitting attack after attack while Moonlight keep missing, although Moonlight suddenly felt more light and her pain was totally gone not to mention her sword which had some weigh now it's lighter than a feather, she looked up to see in time her sister's claw blades going for another direct hit only this time... She missed

Moonlight spun around and hit her with a down/up diagonal slash all across her back, Scarlet turned around tried to hit Moonlight but she had to fly back a bit to dodge Moonlight's attack

Now they started to go blow for blow dodging and attacking at equal levels, Moonlight was going for a up/down slash and Scarlet tried to block with both her claw blades but they got destroyed on impact, Scarlet draw her daggers... Only for them to be thrown away by Moonlight's attacks

With her sister now wide open she started to hit her multiple times with strong wide slashes, after a dozen hits or so she rose a little above her opponent and delivered a devastating up/down vertical slash with all her strength, her sister was sent straight to the ground with enough force to crack it and raise some dust

K.O.

Moonlight descended slowly until she landed safely... And collapsed like someone who just ran a marathon "That... Was... Awesome!" she said through puffing and huffing

"sure it was... Who would have thought you of all pep--er ponies would be able to pull a frickin Omnislash... Oh! And did I also mention you look hot like that?"

"hehe... Buck... You..."

They laughed a bit before continuing their chit chat, although it was cut abruptly by the sound of explosions and screaming, when they looked up they saw a red earth pony with a fiery mane throwing fire balls everywhere like a pyromaniac, which he probably was...

"THAT'S RIGHT! ON TONIGHT'S DINNER BARBECUE OF PONY HAHAHA"

The pyro pony was burning everything to the ground while smiling like an idiot, he spotted a poor unfortunate unicorn who got his tail stuck under a pillar, he rose his right hoof and ignited in orange flames of inferno and was about to throw it but something caught his arm

"agh... Wha the!?" it was so abruptly that it sent a jolt of pain through him, looking up he spotted two very intimidating yellow eyes staring at him

"look pal, I hate blue bitch as much as the next guy... But burning him into a crisp Is not gonna do anyone any favors" the fiery pony tried using his left hoof, but he was grabbed by the throat and slammed against a wall, he gag and coff fighting for air, but Izanagi's arm seems to be made of steel

"what's wrong? Too much pressure? Hehe and here I thought you could handle the 'heat' but it looks like you're 'melting under pressure' hehe"

"ouch... Dude... that was just... terrible... But let me tell you a better one..." then pulled something out of his pocket and throwed behind Izanagi

Then from thin air appeared a rift... To Canterlot High school...

Before anyone could react a giant dark hand came from the portal and grabbed Izanagi, at first he thought nothing of it but then he got yanked like a ragdoll through the portal

"NOOOO!!!" without thinking Moonlight jumped through the portal mere seconds before it close leaving no trace it ever excited...
