Retribution

It was past midnight when the messenger came into the room and recognized that his master a large alicorn stallion with a golden coat and a burning mane was still awake.
“One of the protector unicorns notified a try of somepony to take control of one of your soldiers in hell, My Lord.” he reported.
“Has the protector made contact with the soldier?” the stallion asked.
“Yes, he had. But the soldier had nothing suspicious to report.” the messenger answered.
“Send a message to Firestorm. I have to talk to him, immediately.” he ordered.
“As you wish, Lord Firebolt.” the messenger said as he left the room.
After the door closed Firebolt stood up and fixed his mane as he heard a quiet crackle besides his bed. He put up a log and threw it towards the source of the noise. “It seems that we have a huge problem” he said to Sparky his pet fire demon who started chewing on the log.

About an hour later Firestorm arrived at the camp deep inside the Everfree forest. He landed besides the flagpole with the flag of United Equestria hanging on it. On his way to the central building of the camp he passed several barracks for the service ponies of the base. He entered the building and took the first elevator down to the fourth sublevel.
When the doors opened he saw the long corridor to the conference room. At the end he saw a door which was guarded by two of Firebolts elite soldiers. The soldiers were both alicorns and wore dark grey armors which covered nearly the whole body.
Inside the room Firebolt waited eagerly for his guest. “You are late.” he said as Firestorm entered the room.
“Well, I was sleeping with Rainbow Dash besides me.” Firestorm answered. “But there must be a matter why you wanted to see me.”
“Yes. There was an incident in hell. Somepony tried to manipulate one of my soldiers. You know what this could mean?” Firebolt reported.
“Do you mean somepony is planning to escape out of hell?”
“Correct. But we have no clue who or how many banished planning to escape.”
“That’s not that kind of message I hoped for.” Firestorm said as he walked over to a map of Equestria, “I will tell my sisters to double the guards in every town.”
“That might be a good start to prevent an upcoming disaster but if it comes again to war I will not be able to fight against an army even if I have the best soldiers in whole Equestria. But we are only twenty. So you have to reunion your troops again and help me” Firebolt said as he stepped besides Firestorm.
“You know that Equestria can’t deal with another war.” Firestorm said as he thought at the fallen ponies of the last war, “But I will do my best.”
“I hope it won’t get so far but we have to prepare for the worst case.” The golden stallion said as he pointed at the map, “I have sent out my spies all over Equestria even into hell to get some information about our enemy.”
“You can contact me again when you have more information.” Firestorm yawned as he got ready to leave, “And next time when you wake me up, try to have good news.”
“I will try my best!” Firebolt called after Firestorm.
