Rising immediately, the young prince took the hand of his doctor and close friend Serene, lifting her from her seat and dragging her with him towards the entrance of the door of the royal infirmary,currently open where his bodyguard and confidant, Stella, was currently located.

Not a moment later, the ever-quickening footsteps of both ponies and the dragon could be heard echoing through the currently empty halls of the palace. However, this silence was not long-lasting, for not before leaving the corridor leading to the "bunker" in the center of this castle, the rumble of multiple footsteps of the staff and other residents of the compound began to make a rumbling echo.

Turning right in a seemingly closed of section, there was a false floor with a hidden trap door esque structure, wich to be opened had a mechanism that mixed a number combination digital pad, surrounded by a magical aura that detected pre-learned magical patterns. This aura if and when detecting a nearby unoathorized passenger touching the key pad, would immediately send a lethal magical voltage to the intruder. This magical and technological safekeep, Courtesy of none others than Dawn and Abundance.

Putting her hand in the pad, the metalical device did a initial magical pulse, that acted like a sonar. Not detecting a strange magical aura, it deactivated, leaving Stella to place the secret code, only the princesses, crown and the 6 new. The birthdate of crown.

1-8-0-8-0-3 (18 of august, yeard 3 post dragon heroes)

With a groan the metalical gate under the royal floor opened , rays of electical light inside being reflected to the outside once the door was opened, and allowing them entry.

Instantly giving a sign of " go ahead" Stella took a temporary guard, as Crown as for protocol went in first. Followed for Serene who much like him was confused but alert. Then soon after noticing no one was in the near vicinity, Stella went down the bunker's metalical stairs with a depth of 12 meters , until the lid was automatically closed and the false floor was put on top again by hidden gears.

Touching the floor with a "plop" crown around, appreciating in his view a large space similar to that of a massive room of about 50 by 50 meters, walls made of a shiny metal that clearly was stainless steel and with 2 sets of doors at each cardinal point. in the north the kitchen, in the south the bathrooms, in the east the bedrooms and in the west the pharmacy.

At the same time, he noticed 4 figures coming in his direction. This being the rest of the 6, Dawn, Abundance, Amber, and Pillows, who were all wearing a particularly good looking military vest that had camuflage patterns on all of them. the Main colours of the clothes being green and grey.

With a sigh, he relaxed if only barely "Thank god, you guys were already here. I was starting to wonder why You weren't with stella, if you were not here-"

"What if they weren't?" Stella replied with a serious expression that clearly screamed "go ahead, say it. I dare you"

"I would have gone and retrieved them, you now that to be a fact" Crown replied with no stutter or hestitation as he turned around to look at his guard/friend.

"Bold of you to assume i would have allowed you to, you are top priority. End of the conversation." her tone became dark and serious.

"You may be my personal Guard, Stella. But make no mistake, im not a pushover, i can bring you down!, i do not train like a mad drake just for nothing, and regardless of your personal mission, be it even by direct order of my mothers or not, i will NOT hestitate to knock you out, if need be to save all of you."

After a moment of silence, in the room Stellas frown turned upside down, revealing a barely noticeable soft smile.

"To almost anypony else i would say, yeah haha good luck with that. But i know you can back it up. Its both highly comforting and distressing to me, that you are that loyal of a friend yet that stuborn of a prince. That being said, i would not have it any other way" she said. Her face becoming slightly flushed and her eyes and mouth giving a barely contained look of adoration.

"ahem" exclaimed a slighly annoyed abundance

Breaking the moment, Stella, Serene and Crown look at the source of the noise.

"Well, good too see all of you here too dear. Now, im assuming Stella there Didn't tell you all that much of what is happening, correct?" Abundance asked, sitting on a metalical chair infront of them, wich was near a round metalical table wich had a primitive esque hologram display, created by an engineering device that mixes traditional engineering with magic.

This area of the bunker being the Conferency room.

"No, as a matter of fact, no. By all means go ahead" They all took a seat in their respective seats engraved with their cutie mark and in case of crown royal seal encrusted in the metal.

Soon a holographic map of new equestre was shown in a blue technological hue, with a highly primitive and mechanical soundig AI that tried to replicate Abundance's late sister narrating as the hologram shifted to different forms and structures to give immersive detail.

"New equestre, Hoofington farming grounds, had begun experiencing catastrophic levels of an unprecedented size and speed hailstorm ,at aproximately 14:00 hours of the present day. The hail, currently destroying the farming fields, the city slowly and causing high numbers of casualities, seems to be advacing north to the pegasus district at speed of aproximately 40 kilometers per hour"

"By reports of a royal exploration team, that mapped the nearby zone, this seems to be caused by a medium sized horde of aproximately 200 units of a mix of medium magic leveled witches and warlocks. However no UCE's (Unidentified Corrupted Entity's) were witnessed yet. It is belived their arrival to hoffington is likely due to the perimeter wall in the extremes of New equestre being compromised , and this modicate horde managed to break through our forces. Yet, no confirmation of this has come to data bases.

Its is highly suspected however, 2 highly posible outcomes are to follow.In the First, the Hordes objective besides causing death and destruction as per usual, COULD be looking to compromise and possibly posses all if, not a signicant portion of the pegasi populi on their district, wich as you may know and imagine could increase their destructive prowess significantly, with a high chance of not being able to control the situation back without massive losses.

The second posibilty, of this being a trap. Of course the first posibility would be highly catastrophic, and to some extent is more likely,however that is if not taking into consideration our troups, that while true they are not optimal, they could likely subdue the incident themselves." summarized the AI

"Whats the But?" Said crown

"The "but" is, that if that is the case the true objective of their "military" operation is unwknown, let me say it again. unwknown. in other words if the perimeter has truly been breached, this "horde" likely is merely a distraction, with an attempt to divide our forces, leaving the capital or whatever their objective is open for a concentrated attack." the AI finished as the blue light went out and the information was processed by all the present.

"So, as you may see, we have to make a decision and fast, Either way the danger to the "stability" we had created now is real, this could go grim, and in any of the 2 likely scenarios losses will be had " continued dawn. Pushing her elbows over the table in a thinking position.

"So, what do you all think?" she concluded with a question
