Soldiers Among Equestria
Tragic Memories and New Beginnings
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe soldiers we’re still pointing their pistols at the Solar Guards in the middle of their headquarters. They all turned to the direction where a pure white Alicorn with a mane that appears to be an aurora borealis was standing.
She was standing in the middle of the base giving them a glare that made them think twice if they were to shoot her guards. They all continued to stare at her speechless till Evan decided to break the silence.
“And who might you be ma’am?” Evan asked, still pointing his Desert Eagle at the guard.
Celestia looked at him a little while before answering. “I should be the one asking from you first." She said with a stern glare. "What is your name?” she asked the Captain who was holding his big caliber pistol.
Evan kept a straight face. “I'm Evan, Captain of Delta Squad Six. Now, what’s your name ma’am?”
“I’m Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria.” she said with high authority
“Princess eh?" Evan said, holstering back his pistol on his right thigh. "Could you please tell your guard to let Chris go?” Evan asked her.
“Not until you tell me what’s your plan. Why do you wish to harm my kingdom and subjects?” she asked the Captain of Delta Squad Six with a bit of anger in her voice.
The Captain arched an eyebrow before talking.
“Bring harm?” Evan asked her as he crossed his arms.
“I think you have it the wrong way around. We don't bring harm, we prevent harm.” Evan explained without a hint of humor in his voice.
“May I ask what you did with Takashi and Alejandro?” Evan asked.
“Takashi and Alejandro?” Princess Celestia said with a puzzled expression
“They recently left the base to explore the surrounding ma’am.” he told her
All of a sudden, a Pegasus guard along with the others came flying down towards their headquarters, bringing along two humans who were handcuffed (hoofcuffed?).
When the guards landed down in base where Evan and Celestia were standing, the leader walked up to Princess Celestia. “
Your majesty, we have prevented these two beings from bringing harm to Las Pegasus,” he said to his Princess.
“For the umpteenth time, we are not harming Las Pegasus!” Takashi complained to the Guard. Alejandro remained silent because he had a spear pointed behind him.
Meanwhile back at the main room, Daemon closed the shutters of the room so he would not be discovered. He peeked through one of shutters and saw the whole scene happening from Evan introducing himself to Celestia and the guards taking Takashi and Alejandro hostage.
“I can’t sit here and do nothing, I got to help them,” Daemon said to himself as he equipped his Sig Sauer p226 and ran towards the door.
As soon as Daemon opened the door he quietly sneaked towards to nearest cover he could find so that nobody could see him.
He saw two Solar Pegasus facing in the opposite direction next to the tennis court; he passed by them like a butterfly flying in the wind.
Everything seemed to be going well until his streak ended; he was caught by two Solar Pegasus guards patrolling in the air.
“Did you know that pegais are well known creatures in my country?” Daemon nervously said hoping the guards would cut him some slack.
The two guards from the east side of the base were holding a spear behind the soldier, forcing to him to walk.
“Your highness, I found a being that was planning to escape,” one of the guards said as he pushed Daemon into the concrete floor.
“Daemon, I thought I told you to stay inside,” Evan told him, a hint of anger in his voice.
Princess Celestia saw this and shot an angry look towards Evan.
“So…you think you can pull a trick on me? Saying that you prevent harm, but the truth is that you’re planning to send two of your species to bring harm to Las Pegasus, and try to take me out by one of your guys” her tone became threatening.
"I told you, we're not-" Evan started.
“Guards! Seize them!” she shouted.
“No wait, you got it all wrong! I told him to stay inside because he was still a recruit and I sent two of my men to explore the area because we haven’t got a clue where those necklaces took us!” Evan said in a panicked voice.
“Necklaces, as in the Elements of Harmony?” she asked Evan still keeping a straight face.
“I’m not sure, but I assume you know?” Evan asked to her.
Princess Celestia’s eyes began to water; her closed her eyes and hanged her head down; crying like a mother losing her child.
“Ma’am are you okay? Was it something I said?” Evan asked her, he was starting to feel nervous.
Suddenly Princess Celestia eyes became red as the devil, she shot her head back up to Evan and gave him the most threatening glare he’s ever seen, the growling and the fire burning in her eyes added more to the angry glare.
Evan was so frightened that he fell on his behind and started to scrabble away, as a crab would, hoping to give her some breathing room, but she kept coming towards his retreat.
“How dare you remind me about my tragic loss!” Princess Celestia shouted at him, using the Royal Canterlot voice making everybody’s ears ring.
Evan remained silent; the last thing he wants to do is get banished, burned to death, or hanged.
“I banished those Elements because I didn’t want to remember the past when my sister became Nightmare Moon!” she continued. “I had to use those Elements to banish my only sister to the moon, Evan!” she stomped her hoof on the concrete ground; making a red crack.
“I-I’m sorry ma’am, I-I di—” he was cut off.
“How dare you speak!” she roared at him.
Everybody including the guards was terrified at the scene they were witnessing.
After minutes of yelling, Princess Celestia started to calm down and closed her eyes.
She was taking deep breaths as her eyes began to turn back to normal. She’s just been filled with so much remorse that she couldn’t hold it anymore. She saw Evan who was hiding behind the nearest object he could find, tears started to form in her eyes.
“I’m sorry…..” she quietly spoke before having a mental breakdown, covering her face with her hooves.
Evan saw this and forgot what happened and ran over to her, hoping to comfort her after her breakdown.
Evan walked up to the crying Princess and hugged her.
“I’m sorry for your tragic incident, I understand what it’s like to lose someone close to you,” Evan comfortingly said.
“Why are you comforting me, Evan, after I yelled at you?” she looked at him, sniffling.
“For you to endure that pain for so long really made you blew over the top, I’m sorry for bringing up the Elements.” Evan said to Princess Celestia.
“And I’m sorry for taking my anger on you, it wasn’t your fault, you were just asking,” she said to Evan “I had so much sadness and depression bottled up inside of me, that I couldn’t hold it any longer” Princess Celestia said while sniffing.
“It’s okay; everyone breaks down once in a while.” Evan replied.
Everybody was shocked to see Evan and Princess Celestia interacting with each other. After that scene the soldiers saw their Captain differently now, not as a commanding Captain, but also as a caring loving guy.
The guards started to have respect for the creature because of the scene they saw. “I’ll tell you what, what time is it right now?” he asked.
Evan let go of the Princess and looked at his heavy-duty digital watch.
“Halfway to noon, sir.” Evan was surprised to hear that voice coming from Princess Celestia’s guard.
Suddenly they both heard a grumbling from their stomachs, they decided to have a nice conversion during lunch so they can get to know each other more.
“I know, why do we have a nice conversation during lunch, we can tell you everything about our headquarters, our background, and other things you would like to know, if that’s okay with you?”
“That sounds lovely, Evan, I would love to have a nice talk with foreign species,” she said happily to him.
“Oh, and Evan?” she asked him.
“Yes ma’am?” Evan replied.
“Thank…you,” she said a single tear rolling down her cheek.
“Don’t worry about it.” he said to her as a caring person.
Meanwhile the guards were still holding the soldiers hostages, Chris was the first to speak.
“Can you please let go of me now?” He asked the guard who was still holding him hostage.
The guard released Chris out of his magical grip.
“Sorry” he said sheepishly. “
"And us too?” Alejandro said to them.
“Sorry gentlemen” the guards said as they uncuffed them.
Evan walked around the middle area of the base; he was wonder where they would have lunch. Knowing that she’s the ruler of this new world, he took a brave move and asked the Princess where they should have lunch.
“So, uh, Princess, where should we have lunch?” he asked her.
“We always have lunch back at the castle.” she replied, getting up.
“Whoa" Evan said with amazement. “You sure must be lucky to have lunch at a royal castle.”
“Well then, how would you like it if you guys were to come to my Castle in Canterlot to have lunch?” she asked the soldiers, a grin on her face.
“Ma’am, that would be the most gratifying of you if you were to let us come to your Castle,” Evan replied
“We will be on our best behavior” Takashi said doing his traditional Japanese bow.
“Well, I should take a shower, my clothes are a little, singed,” Evan said while chuckling.
Princess Celestia just blushed and covered her face with her mane.
“Come on guys; let’s get ready for our lunch session with the Princess.” Evan said to them, they all nodded and went back to their quarters to change. Before Evan followed, he wanted to ask her where her castle is.
He came over to Princess Celestia “Ma’am, I don’t want to be rude but we don’t know where your Castle is. You mentioned Canterlot but I have no clue how to get there.” Evan said looking at the gold chariot.
“Not a problem Evan, I’ll just summon a mode of transportation to accommodate your guys,” she replied.
“Well, actually, we kind of have our own mode of transportation,” Evan gestured over to the stealth Blackhawk. “It’s called a helicopter, it can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour. All we need is a guide to get there.
“Oh, alright. All you have to do is follow my chariot.” she said, starting to head towards it.
“Oh, okay, can you please give us ten minutes,” Evan said as he ran towards the main building and into the shower room to rinse off the ashes on his body caused by his clothes.
Canterlot Castle
It was high noon, the sun was shining bright in the middle of the bright blue sky. The helicopter was nearing Canterlot Castle. The Castle was sitting on edge of a mountain with an endless flow of sparkling clear water flowing down from the entrance gate. The soldiers were amazed at such beautiful architecture and how something that huge can stay on the side of the mountain
“Holy cow, that is impressive, I love the colors” Evan commented on the white and royal purple castle
“Man, they must be lucky to have a home like this.” Chris was looking at the waterfall
“I feel gobsmacked mates.” Samuel was looking at the garden
“That is big castle, bigger than Temple of Japan.” Takashi was so amazed at the scenery that he almost forget that he was flying the helicopter.
“Fine as cream gravy ya’ll.” Alejandro said looking the village below the castle
“My god, zhis is zurreal” Dimitri was looking the gold roofs
“That is beautiful on so many levels.” Daemon was admiring the the telescope sitting in the gold balcony
The helicopter slowly descended, and landed down in the Castle Gardens. Princess Celestia helped them out of the helicopter, and guided them inside.
They were greeted inside like a hotel they would see in Dubai. The red carpet, the glass windows showing the Night and
Day, and real gold trimmings that decorated the gigantic hallways.
One of the soldiers even saw a statue of an Alicorn with a pen and paper as a cutie mark.
After a series or non-stop beautiful furniture’s, paintings, and high-class decoration, they finally made it to the royal banquet room to have their lunch.
Their lunch was on a long table about the size of their helicopter ranging from meat, chicken, fish, fruits, vegetable, and hay…
“Shall we?” Evan was looking at the food which made his mouth water.
“Let’s eat” Celestia said to him
After they had their royal lunch, Evan decided to start to have their conversation he mentioned back at the base.
The helicopter slowly descended, and landed down in the Castle Gardens. Princess Celestia helped them out of the helicopter, and guided them inside.
They were greeted inside like a hotel they would see in Dubai. The red carpet, the glass windows showing the Night and
Day, and real gold trimming along the hallways
One of the soldiers even saw a statue of an Alicorn with a feather pen and a bottle of ink both side of her flank.
"I wonder who could that be?" Chris said to himself as he looked the statue.
"Probably somebody important" Daemon said to him.

“Shall we?” Evan's mouth was watering.
“Let’s eat” Celestia said to him
After they had their royal lunch, Evan decided to start to have their conversation he mentioned back at the base.
“So Princess Celestia, what would you like to hear first?” Evan said to her.
“I would like to know more about your species,” she asked.
“Our species is called humans, or ‘homo sapiens’ to be specific. We have evolved for a long time ever since.” he answered her a like teaching out questions.
“I see—that seems pretty interesting,” she said to him.
“Next question, I would like to know each of your names,” Princess Celestia asked.
Takashi was the first to speak his name.
“My name is Takashi Shakimaru, it is nice to meet you.”
"Alejandro Danato ma’am,” he said.
“Samuel San Nickolas, nice to meet you you're highness”
“Dimitri Trivorsky Rhet at your service”
“Chris Aron ma'am”
“Daemon Filipinas, Princess”
“Evan Hizon, the Captain of Delta Squad Six”
She was a little puzzled when he mentioned Delta Squad Six. If the team has the word Six in it, why would there be seven of them? She turned to Evan who was the Captain of the team.
“If your team is called Delta Squad Six, why are there seven of you?” she asked him with an eyebrow raised.
“Daemon's just a recruit, he’s just our researcher and gives us mission briefing,” he said to her.
Princess Celestia was starting to get more interested about these species, not to mention how formally they're talking to her, so she started to ask more questions.
“Evan, I would like to know about your establishment.” She asked the Captain who taking a sip of water from his glass with gold trimmings.
“My establishment?” he asked as he placed the glass back down.
“Ah think she means our base Evan” Alejandro whispered to Evan.
“Oh, you mean our HQ? Our establishment or base is our headquarters that me and my guys respond to missions given by the G.D.I,” Evan said to her.
He didn’t want to get too detailed about the base like the materials, vehicles; armory, etc. because he knows from past
experiences that he rambles off and turn off people.
“G.D.I?" she asked while raising her eyebrow. "What’s that?”
“G.D.I stands for Global Defense International. It’s a worldwide organization that tracks down the worlds most wanted criminals.” The Captain said proudly.
After a long time of questions and answers, Princess Celestia started to warm up to these foreigners called humans.
After their conversation was done which consisted of three hours, Evan and his team asked Princess Celestia if they were to explore the castle, which she agreed.
“You may explore the castle, just don’t get lost.” she told them.
The soldiers nodded and started to walk off, but before they can start their adventure of the castle, Princess Celestia remembered something but can’t put her hoof on it.
“I need to tell you guys something very important, please meet me back in an hour” she said to them.
They all nodded and started to explore the castle.
