Luna sat at a small desk as she looked at the door of her private office. Soon after speaking to Rainbow Dash, she ordered one of the guards to fetch Twilight Sparkles. She didn't want to risk Pinkie Pie going with her current condition. And now she simply had to convince Twilight to keep the secret.

Hanging her head, Luna had her doubts that Twilight would intentionally talk about what she knew. But there was still one other option. Her sister and Twilight herself would likely not like the option. Considering her options, Luna casted a spell on the room. Moments after the spell was casted, the room opened.

"You called for me princess?" Twilight asked as she entered the room.

As soon as Twilight was in the room, Luna used her magic to shut and lock the door. "Yes, Twilight. There is something I must speak to you about. But I must make sure that what we speak about and the events that come after are kept between those involved."

"Of course princess. But-"

"You must swear it." Luna snapped. "I cast a spell that will activate if you speak falsely or break your word. It will only activate if you swear to your word."

Twilight blinked in shock before taking a deep breath. "I swear that I won't speak to anypony that's not involved about what you wish to speak to me about."

Taking a deep breath Luna nods. "Then I have a few bits of good news to tell." She informs. "First is that Rainbow is safe."

Twilight blinked in shock. "What?..." before she was able to go on a rant with numerous questions, Luna held up her hoof.

"Second, is that she is being kept out of danger by someone who has grown… important to her."

The more Twilight learns about how Twilight is doing, the more questions she had.

"Third, she is willing to see you on the condition involving the spell I casted." Luna paused for a moment to let Twilight process what she said before continuing. "To be honest." She sighed. "The only bad news I have is that she has been rejected by the Wonderbolts. An outcome that will be tended to soon."

Twilight sat as she went over all that she was told. After a few moments she takes a deep breath and smiled at Luna. "When can I see her."

"Soon." Luna informed as she got up. "I must first see if they are ready. And Twilight…"

"Yes princess?"

"When we go see them. You must stay at my side and not say or do anything until I say you may." Luna ordered before sending a message through the spell she used before. It took a minute before she got a reply but once she did she smiled and turned to Twilight. "Come closer. To keep their location safe, I shall teleport us there."

Twilight nodded and moved to her side. And in a flash they were gone.

Mod and Limestone stood outside the hut ready to move as the guards got in position around the building. Turning to her sister, Limestone knew that Mod was holding back her emotions so they didn't lose this chance to save the hostages. And in a way, she was doing the same. Thankfully the princesses had agreed to let them be a part of the strike team.

One of the guards stepped up next to them and spoke softly. "Be careful you two. We don't know what that freak has waiting for you. Leave most of the heavy work to the others and focus on finding survivors."

The two nod before moving up to join the rest of the strike team. Limestone kicked the door in letting the guards charge into the room. After a few moments of looking around the guards glared at Mod for leading them to an empty hut.

"Let's go men." One of the guards huffed. "There's nothing here."

As the solar guards left, the night guard turned to Mod as she made her way to the back wall. Tapping it a few times she looked over at one of the few solar guards that had stayed. "There's a hidden staircase behind this wall." She explained flatly. "You should inform the princess about the actions of the other group when we get back."

Limestone went up next to her sister and bucked the wall down, revealing a flight of stairs leading lower. "Forget them for now. We have a job to do." She huffed, before making her way down the stairs, quickly followed by Mod and the other guards.

Once they arrived on the lower floor, they looked in shock at the sight before them. Some of the guards even moved back upstairs to rush out to the nearest bush and vomit before returning to the group. "Do we still need to keep him alive?" Mod asked flatly.
