A Lost Cause

Rainbow Dash was flying around, practicing new tricks she invented when she saw familiar a pegasus and unicorn in the distance. Before she could react, they flew past her. "Hey! Wait up!" She yelled, going near her top speed to catch up with them.

"Your girlfriends following us, Elite, spend some time with her, I'll tell Twilight, Luna and Celestia." Before the two knew it, she was flying in between them,

"Wait up! I need to show you two something!" Rainbow Dash yelled,

"I need to show you guys something!"

"The princesses can wait, Shruko, put the brakes on it." Elite said, looking around Rainbow Dash to Shruko. The pegasus sighed,

"Fine.." He groaned.

Elite looked over to Rainbow Dash, "Alright." With that, the two pegasi and unicorn slowed to a stop.

Shruko was the first to take his helmet off, his blue coat almost as blue as Rainbows, Then Elite, though his was connected to his suit, his pitch black coat shined in the sunlight, his jet pack keeping him afloat."Yes, Rainbow dear?" Elite asked.

"Watch this trick!" Rainbow pleaded.

"Elite this really can't wait! The changlings are probably half way to the Crystal Empire now!" Shruko yelled, seeing the force first hand.

"Changlings? I thought they were bound to their Hive." Rainbow Dash shuttered

"Discord is leading them." Shruko explained.

"And if we don't warn the princesses than fighting would be a lost cause." The armored pegasus said with distress in his voice.

"My recon squad, what is there to report?" Princess Celestia said with a warming voice.

"Princess, the Chaingling army has mobilized and is en route to the Crystal Empire as we speak, Discord is leading them." Shruko reported.

"Thank you, Shruko, I'll have Twilight inform Cadance as soon as possible." Celestia nodded.

"Princess we volunteer to defend the Crystal Empire, if thats o-" Shruko was cut off by a voice in his transmitter.

"Mayday mayday the Crystal Empire is under attack requesting reinforcements, ASAP." The voice cut off there.

"Shruko get RK on the communicater, tell him we need an eagle." Elite said, his helmet covering his head again."We are going to war."

"B-but..!" Rainbow Dash said, clinging to Elite.

"I'm sorry, another time, OK?" Elite reassured her.

"O-Ok.." She said.

"Get the squad ready, we leave at 0600 sharp."

"Roger that." Shruko said, before raising the rest of the team.
