Name's Joe

     All these looks of shock at me,simply because I called the apparent embodiment of the sun by her first name.I then told Celestia,

"Pardon me for breaking royal etiquette, but I can tell that one would be tired if it was used on them for over a thousand years,am I correct?"

"Yes Joseph, I must admit, after so long it can become tiresome."Celestia said, which brought the technicolor ponies around me at ease.

Now that I think about it, we should probably tell Celestia about the weapons cache we brought from our old home.

Agreed, we shall tell her in private.Can't risk anyone finding out about the weapons, and even less how they work.

"Celestia,may I talk to you in private, about something Twilight may have mentioned in her letter to you?"

She was able to feign a look of calm in front of everyone, but I could tell she knew what I was talking about.Twilight clearly isn't stupid, so I would have known she would have told her about the guns.She nodded and followed me inside.The orange store owner from before came to us and said,

"Your Majesty!You may use the sugar cellar if you'd like for this private conversation."

"That would be very much appreciated Mr.Cake."She said in response.

Celestia and her guards went in first, while Pinkie stopped me to give me a red cupcake with icing,

"Red Velvet, your favorite!"I replied with,

"Thank ya' lass."I then followed Celestia down into the cellar with her guards.

The insides of the cellar was filled with barrels and sacks of different items one would think a sweets shop would have.

Molasses,flour,sugar,sarsparilla,icing, Wait, they have an entire barrel full of icing?Damn.Of course, it wouldn't be a cellar without a dim light and a poorly made,square,wooden table with only two chairs.Well, I say chairs but there were actually just two halves of a barrel placed on each side.Either way, the entire room gave off an eerie feeling.Celestia sat at the barrel on the side closest to the entrance, and I rolled to the side farthest from the door and placed the cupcake on the table.I looked at each one of the guards that came, and noticed they all looked exactly the same.

"So, why do they all look the same?Some kind a spell, or just alot of dye?"Celestia chuckled then said,

"No, it's a spell on the armor to keep their identities a secret."

"Well,if they're willing to be here to listen to this,they will need to take them off.I don't want this information to leave this room until it has either been approved for equestrian military use, or the reproduction of this is made for whatever other use it could possibly have."

All the guards got wide eyed, but they all stayed and took their helmets off revealing their trueselves.

The leader, stood infront of me.He had a black body,gray eyes, and bright red hair,he then stated his name as "Smoulder."

The lieutenant stood forward next.He had a silver body,blood red eyes,and dark grey hair,"Silver Streak."

The Sargeant walked forward,He had a grayish-blue body, rainbow colored hair in a mohawk,and amber eyes."Rainbow Blitz."

I then asked him the question that would have been on anyones mind at this point "You wouldn't happen to be related to Rainbow Dash would you?"

"She's my daughter."

KILL HIM NOW!

JESUS, CALM DOWN!

Yeah, we don't even know if your assumption was true.

ASK THE SON OF A BITCH THEN!

"I bet you must be so proud of her being an element of harmony."

"Yes I am.I just wish her mother was still alive today, she didn't even live long enough to see her sonic rainboom."

See!Wait, her what?

"Sonic Rainboom?"

"Oh my daughter will tell you all about that later, all you got to do is ask."

We have got to ask her, NOW!

After we talk about the guns.

Then, the private stood forward, he had a green body,dark green hair, and guess the color of his eyes?Yep,green.

"B-blur."He studdered.

"Well, now that we have all met eachother,let's get down to the matter at hand."I pulled out the berretta.

"This is the object we are going to study today."I pulled out the single bullet I brought along."This is a bullet.It contains gunpowder and copper."I pulled the hammer back on the gun."The hammer strikes the back of the bullet thus creating a small contained explosion, launching the copper at high speeds, and penetrating the object in front of the barrel of the guns."I then pointed at the barrel of the gun.Celestia and the rest of the guards were shocked at this.

"How the Tartarus have we not thought of this yet?" Rainbow Blitz said.

"Because humans are innovators,oh the things we have created could have your scientists stumped for years, and your heads spinning for a millennium.

Celestia looked at me and said,"This is amazing, though it may not seem like it, Equestria is constantly nearing the edge of war.This invention could keep us off the blade's edge.I will give you a stipend for your research in this matter in the hope that you could replicate these items.Though,if I find out your harming any of my precious ponies, I will make sure you burn in Tartarus."The look she gave me made me understand why I unrationally hate her.It was the look of someone who's determined to keep the ones they love safe, but has failed far too many times. It is the same look I see every morning in the mirror.
