Retribution

Firebolt stood awhile face to face with the map and thought about what his enemy is planning. As he noticed that somepony entered the room he turned around and said: “You can’t fool me Night Hawk. I know you are in here I can feel your presence.”
A dark blue Pegasus with a dark greyish mane appeared in front of him. “My Lord, I have heard some rumours about Apocalypse and an unknown mare planning to escape from hell.” Night Hawk said, “But these rumours are several days old.”
“It seems that Equestria is again shortly before a new war. I hoped that it wouldn’t turn out that bad.” the golden alicorn said saddened, “Tell Shadow Hunter that the time has come. She should prepare the soldiers for war.”
With these words the Pegasus left the room and delivered the message to Shadow Hunter.
Firebolt took out a scroll and a quill and began to write:

The whole thing seems to turn out into the worst case. Rumours approached me that Apocalypse is the pony who plans to escape from hell. He might want to take revenge on you for banishing him. So be careful.

Firebolt

He sealed the scroll and gave it Sparky to send it to Firestorm.
He went back and forth in front of the big map awaiting an answer. Finally Sparky burped and gave him the letter:

It came even worse. I miss the jewel Trixie had found and with which she had attacked Ponyville. I think she might have smuggled it into hell while I banished her.

Firestorm

He read the letter twice because he can’t believe what his friend wrote him. Even after reading the letter a third time he can’t believe it but he finally answered:

I‘ll have some rooms prepared for you, your sisters, Dash and her friends. My base is the only place where they are safe. I hope you will all come.

Firebolt

He sent the letter and called for Night Hawk to come into the conference room.
A couple of minutes later Night Hawk entered the room but this time he wasn’t invisible. “You called for me, My Lord.” He said while saluting.
“I have a special mission for you. You have to protect Firestorm without him noticing you.” Firebolt ordered the Pegasus, “Any questions?”
“No, My Lord!” Night Hawk said before he turned invisible and left to accomplish his mission.
“I like this creepy guy. It’s a very special talent that he has.” Firebolt said to himself before he had a look at the clock above the door. It was nearly noon outside the base. He realized that he had stayed up all night.
