Record of chaos- The Better six
Time to plan
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"So, what do you guys think?" summarized Dawn's question in the room Causing a momentary silence.
"Hmm, sounds like a crossroads. Whatever we choose seems like something could go wrong. is there really a difference?" Pillows asked
"of course there is" said amber rolling her eyes wryly "In the first case the risk is moderate but the time for it to happen is less, in the opposite case the risk is greater but the time to maneuver is more."
"Uhm, could you summarize it in a more understandable way?" asked Whis.
"Well" replied the pony in question with a sigh "In other words. If we support the pegasus district we have less time to act and the risk is worse in the long term, but if we prioritize preventing a surprise attack we have more time to prepare against a higher risk in the short term." summarized amber
"Yes, I think so too. the way I see it is basically a choice between cutting the weeds or pulling them out by the roots, each with pros and cons. Although personally I prefer to eliminate the problems in the long term (root) so I would suggest containing the problem in hoofington first" abundance replied.
"I support abby on this (abby is the pet name Crown gave abundance) likewise in medicine it is better to prevent the underlying cause than to treat the disease directly in many cases , plus the pegasus district is where-" whis began only to be interrupted by Stella.
"Don't.say.it."
"But Ste-"
"DON'T SAY IT!" Stella didn't want something to be said, which made the other members raise their eyebrows.
Frowning, Whis said it anyway "There is Our mother, stella!" exclaimed the yellow pegasus in concern for Stella's mother, and her adoptive mother par excellence.
"tch, that doesn't matter right now!" exclaimed the blue pegasus in frustration and clearly suppressed emotion.
"Of course it does!" Whis/Serene/Serena rose from her seat whipping her hands against the metal table.
"NO!!!, we can't afford to be emotional!!!, new equestre is at risk!!!"
"But-!!!"
"But nothing, and sit down!!" she said in a shaky but firm voice as both sisters of different birth mother sat back down keeping silent.
"Sorry about that" they said in unison, which earned sympathetic faces from those present.
"Where are my mothers?" asked Crown after a moment of silence.
"They are near lancelot, currently preparing a containment plan in case option 2, i.e. the surprise attack materializes" said dawn with a sly smile.
"pftt, hahahaha!", crown laughed out loud confusing the rest of the girls, with the exception of Dawn.
"I don't understand, crown. what's so funny?" amber asked.
"Ask dawn, she clearly planned this," causing them all to look at their friend and direct boss.
Dawn simply turned to Serene and said in a slightly humorous tone and a smile "Whis, do you really think that hard head next to you, would have risked your mother or his direct minions to safeguard his hide?"
"No, I suppose not but what's that got to do with-"
"Did you forget the last thing I said, the princesses are already focusing on the containment plan, and if at least in the short term the biggest threat by default is hoofington, in that scenario there are 3 options: A)we help reinforce the containment plan (which might be unnecessary), b) we intervene in hoofington, orC) we don't and leave our troop to their own devices."
"In that sense what do you THINK this spoiled child is going to choose, even more so knowing that her dear friend's foster mother is at risk?" said Dawn with a mixture of pride and frustration.
Inhaling air in shock, both "sisters" stood up from their seats, as well as the rest of the girls and looked at the young prince.
"You plan to go to the battle field?!!"
"Yes, i wont let you all go to war, while i merely hide while Serene tends to me and Stella acts as a meat shield!, and besides Mom has it all covered here apparently, so the best i can do at the moment is cut their feed short and help the populi." Crown turned to look at Stella and Whis with a cocky grin "Your mother included"
"Crown!, you-" Serene was both happy he cared that much but also worried for his safety. However before she could say anything else...
"-Absolute idiot!" screamed Stella with a slap to his face making a strong whipping noice. With her blue hands vibrating with lightning produced by biomagnetism magic. One of the abilities she trained as a pegasus elite guard, channeling her magic, turning it into voltage and focusing it on her palms, increasing the damage one fist could do, as dragon scales were HARD, you see. This, no doubt stunned the present mares
"you think you are some kind of hero?!, i didnt train for near this long, just so you could throw away your life!" Stella was now on top of a non resisting Crown who only looked at her with a mix of empathy and annoyance rubbing his slightly bruised face with claw.
"You have become strong?, sure!. I know you will become stronger, smarter, better!, for bucks sake you are not an adult yet!m but i will beat you up if i have too!, You!, you!, you!, you... y-you-" said stella in an ever progresively cracking as she repeatedly hit his face with her electrical fists as, each hit and each word she utter became softer and quieter and tears started to drop from her face.
"-...you...you make me...so, so happy!, but i know i should stop you! , yet i cant!, i dont want mom to die! and i also know that even if i try to stop you, you eventually will teleport out even if i knock you out, all it takes is one moment of distraction once you are awake!".
"For all my strength, and speed there is just so much i can do to protect you. Im a failure as a guard" Stella was trembling with emotion
Soon, Crown's hands took her own, startling her. "You are not a failure at all, neither as a guard nor a friend. If your job is to protect me, then why not do it while i tend to my responsabilities helping my people?, helping-" Crown looked at the shocked in place mares, looking to Serene a while longer than the others "my friends. If you are to be my shield you should be it too at all times,not just in hiding, but in open battle, dont you think?" ended Crown with a slightly forced smile as his cheeks were bruised and a little blood poured from his lower lip.
"..." the silence in the room was palpable for the next minute, as Stella visibly relaxed and closed her eyes in thought as the tears came slower, and her frowned turned into a smile.
"Fine, but i have demands. If i am to bend my obligations as a guard to meet your demands, surely you can do the same for me, no?"," her smile showed teeth.
"...speak" Crown smirked
"Dont need too, hot stuff" she said, as she instantaneously kissed him, with a passion pushing both of their bodies towards a the floor mind blowing him and the other mares as her tounge and his twisted for dominance, for a moment and as he tried to resist a little, she pushed him back to the ground keeping him in place.
Then after quickening the speed of the tounge twister, before gasping for air, she took his tounge with her teeth bitting it slowly, as she then using her lips created a small void sucking it with all her might before finally gasping for air, looking at the illuminated ceilling of metal with a look that mixed satisfaction and pleasure.
"Alright, what's the plan?" she smirked in dominance at her friends.
