Windy Breeze

@Kujamih

The lack of response and Shallow's current state made Silver uneasy, if not already concerned ever since the attack in the Everfree Forest. If the cottage is furnished, he would take a glass of water and pour it on Shallow's face. He wasn't sure if its going to work but teachings from his teacher when he was a foal, and his captain during a briefing, told him big problems can sometimes be solved with small and simple solutions. It was worth a try whether if it works in this issue or not.

Pan would silently accompany Flurry and Cozy to the castle, walking very close to them as if he were a butler or one of the princess' personal guard.

~~~~

The scene is truly disturbing, it was a real depiction of tumult and combat and not unlike the ones shown in outdoor theater plays...and the sudden shaking of his town that left it in disarray and the citizen confused, afraid, and in turmoil. Seeing blood was not new to Nimbus but it did left some effect on him. Still, the instinct in him to help those in need of assistance kept him moving.

~~~~

The guards were a sight for sore eyes for Glory and her group, sans Iffy whom was among those who stepped back from the fight. One of the students saw her and apparently dragged her back with the others, much to the latter's displeasure.

After impaling one of creatures with a shard of a vase the students had used, she spoke, announcing the presence of the guards to the students “The guards are here to give us assistance. Let us, alongside our noble guards, hold back the monsters till we free every soul they took and wipe them all!”

~~~~

So this is what transportation used to be before the war Thunder has never ridden a train before. She has seen one of these trains once but as a rotting old relic of the pre-war history. The only one time she had seen a functional train was during a history class of the Great War, the event that led to the ultimate downfall both of Equestria and the accursed zebra nation that caused the whole destruction of the land, if not the entire world. She gave a stealthy stare at Buckshot, the mare appeared both fascinated and wary; it is apparent the raider has never seen a working train. Thunder wondered what's circling inside the raider's head.

The Enclave soldier's would hear the conversation between Agent Sweetie Drops, also known as Bonbon, and the grey pegasus mare Derpy. Thunder frowned, she can obviously see where the latter got this name but it is offensive to call them with a name that mocks them for their disability.

The first piece of the conversation gave Thunder a suspicion that the other pegasus with a dark blue mane—who appeared to be young—is an ODT if Derpy is telling the truth and not making up a ridiculous tale for not quiting her job. Looking at the Derpy's companion, Thunder noticed the mare's eyes slightly clenched and her body tensed. She can understand being mentioned can be uncomfortable for some if they did want to be in the topic of someone's conversation, but it might also be a confirmation Derpy's reason may be true.

Thunder continues listening to the conversation and will soon caught another interesting mention. Here, Twilight Sparkle, Ministry Mare of Arcane Science, is the princess or ascended to become one of the princesses of Equestria.

“Um, can I ask a question if you all don't mind.” Stormlight shyly spoke, “Is there a Wonderbolt named Windy Breeze or pegasus mare who works at the Ponyville Theater known as Ire Heaven?“

@Kujamih @Illiad Easle

Am I allowed to do this? I'm planning to do cameo, and brief appearances of some of my OCs? 

@Kujamih

Silver would awoken to long and blinding noise. He got up and went to check on Shallow, not knowing what may have happened to her while he was sleeping, she was his current primary objective, staying oblivious of the invasion happening in Ponyville.

“Shallow you have to wake up” He began shaking Shallow, trying to wake her up, “I need you, Shallow. And we have to meet with Blu.”

~~~~

Nimbus was surprised by the result of his attack but quickly recovered.  He stopped a student, giving his orders “You! take them somewhere else safe!” he turned back facing the incoming enemies when he heard Apple Bloom spoke, somwthing about being punished for his disobedience. He replied defiant of his decision “A Shorebreeze, nor a Fillypino, never backs down helping others. The princess has the assistance of your student and of your relative!”

~~~~

Pan was enraged by the guard's actions “idiotule! That was uncalled for. The mare you jusf harassed took the princess out of a besieged school! There is an onslaught and if you guards did nothing, soon this town will be reduced to ruins and the locals massacred!” this loud chiding attracted a attentions from those walking by the castle with some taking the mention of invasion seriously, telling others about Pan's speech and urging them to spread the word. It was slow but atleast some are now aware of the threat coming to their town. This place may not be Shadowveil but he will not let it suffer the same fate as the city.

~~~~

Glory cursed to herself for not telling the gathered students to arm themselves with makeshift weapons. Their travel to the sleeping quarters won't be easy aa evident by the monstrous invaders blocking the hallway, some appearing to be ponies and other creatures who were students to this school, there is no doubt their presence strike fear to the hearts and mind of the students following her and Iffy. Glory remember the time back before the overthrow of the previous rulers, her tribe used to hide at a village tucked inside swampy forest. She and her husband make speeches to keep everyone's spirits high and have hope that someday they would be accepted to live amomgst herbivores. This explains why she's charismatic.

“Everyone who can fight must be in the front and those who can't must stay behind the defenders. Do not let their looks scatter you. Stick close and fight; Together, we can defeat these monsters and free those fallen to them from their control!”

~~~~

Stormlight nearly panicked by the guard's decleration; fortunately, she realized she and Derpy are taken away for questioning only, and not arrested; they are neither guilty nor free. Nonetheless, it still left her extremely shaken. Their detainment subsequently took somewhere indoors in an unknown location, it did nothing to quell her growing anxiety. And the voice didn't help either.

I can smell the aroma of war nearby. It moaned, making Stormlight wince as it spoke both warning and arousal, Be ready, I cannot help you until no one's keeping an eye on us.

~~~~

Thunder was surprised by the news the Alpha had given them. An invasion!? This is not good given that she and Buckshot are apparently ODTs and the fact that this is a ODT invasion, meaning the invaders are not from this world. She's surprised the Alpha did not think of caging her and Buckshot. in a windowless cell.

What is even surprising is Alpha managing to do the Sonic Rainboom, something which only the Ministry Mare Rainbow Dash is only capable of performing.

Surprisingly, despite the risk of being demoted or outright losing her job in this company or worse, Agent Sweetie Drops made the decision to return Buckshot and Thunder's confiscated items back to their rightful owners, much to one's joy and dismay of the other. Thunder grumbled, looking at Buckshot who got her shotgun back still in one piece. Thanks to Sweetie Drop's mastery of cutting through armor, her power armor, one of the few Grand Pegasus Enclave tech that went with her to this world, was broken and unusable unless repaired, she doubted anypony from this world have the knowledge of how to repair power armor, chances of meeting a power armor specialist is fully zero. Meanwhile, her weapon (either simply called Magical Energy Rifle or Plasma Caster) are designed mounted on built-in battle saddles of power armors, making it just as useless as her power armor unless modified for non-built-in battle saddles. Then again, she needed a battle saddle, this world has none. With a depressed and frustrated sigh, Thunder explained this information to Agent Sweetie Drops. There was no time making repairs so she was given a spear.

As they were leaving the base (Thunder have assumed they are in some kind of secret military base.), they came across two pegasus mares being lead by some guards. They appeared to be wearing uniforms of pre-war mail couriers, and judging from their faces, they are taken here against their will.

Meanwhile, Stormlight was relieved to get a quick release with her friend without needing to be interrogated.

@Kujamih

Silver's concern for his safety quickly turned to Shallow, his eyes widening upon the revelation the 'woodland creatures' are actually not curious critters, and judging by their looks he assumed dark magic is at play. Their disgusting grotesque bodies begin turning and twisting into shapes, each diverse, some familiar; he swore he saw one that took form of a pegasus.

Wishful thinking is more easy than turning into action as it proved that fear can take control of you no matter how you tried. Silver only manage to yell out to Shallow and take one step before pausing. He shook his head. no, it's his duty to protect the good from evil, he can't accept watching it all happen! He began his futile attempts at yelling at the creatures to scare them away to no avail. The consequences of his decision to stay out from what he feared to be an incoming magic explosion eventually show its ugly head; Shallow was thrown a few distance away from where she had been. Panicking, Silver tried to get to her, blasting a few of the silhouette-like purple abominations who dared to attack him or glance at Shallow's prone body. He would avoid the huge bear dead or not.

If he succeded approaching Shallow, he would say her name repeatedly; if he did not get any kind of response he'll let out one equestrian profanity before saying “We got to get out here, we are not safe in this forest if you are out cold!” he spoke to Shallow, “You can later scream at me for my incomenpetence but we have to get to safety first!”

~~~~

Iffy was confused despite seeing the horrifying event played out, but Glory immediately comprehend what she had saw. As much as she wants to obey their escort's orders and save their hides from the threat, she couldn't accept leaving several students to fwll into the enemy's control. Students are the future of every kingdom and society, losing even one can change entire history. Glory's eyes narrowed with determination. Taking the nearest item she can carry, she threw it at the the creature attacked and infected the student a few seconds earlier. Hearing a gasp, she turned and spoke to Iffy with great urgency “If you remember the way to our sleeping quarters, go hide under the bed, you are safe there!”

Iffy raised an eyebrow “Can we first go and scold the thing who broke the window? a glass pane is an expensive material and make him pa-”

“I swear to Grogar's grave, you are twice worst than a pony who can't read or write!” Glory growled with frustration, “We are under attack, do you understand that!?” Iffy's eyes widened with understanding and finally recognizing their situation. There is no time argue, they're wasting time, “If you do not remember, follow me!”

She turned to their escort “I know you are trained to protect others, but try to watch out for yourself. You will be unable to protect if you allow yourself to be caught surprised by the enemy!”

As they were about to leave the cafeteria, Glory begin yelling to students in the area, urging them to follow her and Iffy “Come follow me, I know somewhere you all be safe. Hurry!” she told them.

~~~~

Both Nimbus and Pan are caught off guard and terrified, but it was Nimbus who is able to shake off his fear, he did not not even bother to glance at Pan, only as he unfurled his wings “Cozy, you and Apple Bloom's friend may go and escape with the alicorn, I will go and help your teacher with the evac of this school!” he did not gave them even one second to protest, flying at a speed that will make Rainbow Dash sweat, he landed a punch at one of the creatures who attempted to tackle a student. It was his duty and purpose as a soldier, and commander of the Shorebreeze to stop harm from reaching innocent lives.

Pan, on the other hand, was incompetent and incapable of self-defense thanks to his dislike of his status and desire to live a life of a normal Bloodthirst. His reaction is just like of anyone partially succumb to fear and that is to shake like a tree in a hurricane and whimper. However, he is not completely paralyzed.

“They're right. Come on, we have ro warn everypony.” He told Cozy and Flurry.

 ~~~~

Stormlight immediately submitted to her fear. She hid her face behind her wings and back close to Derpy for protection “S-Sirs, we mean no harm we are just here deliver mail....what if one of the mails turn out to be important for this p-project you mentioned?” she was genuinely concerned for both parties.

Oblivious to Derpy and the guards, something is stirring inside Stormlight. It is not happy about its host being threatened for no clear reason.

~~~~

Thunder starts to tap Lyra's foreleg that wrapped around her next “I appreciate the hug and all, but we would not be able to do what you told us when you are in the process of suffocating us!” Buckshot said nothing. Maybe because she was in a much more dangerous position than Thunder.

@Kujamih

Silver was already out of his hiding place just after Shallow left, bringing air into his nostrils in one single inhale before releasing them. his eyes narrowed with determination, the magical grip on his sword tightened as if seemingly holding onto dear life. “Hey big guy, over here!” he yelled, catching his attention. Silver's voice sounded forces but he did not back down, “be ready because this food over here is going to swallow you first!”

Driven by its undead instinct to taste fresh meat or offended by the taunting of its food, the gigantic bear rushed at Silver with a beastly roar. Silver readied himself despite knowing about the plan; he was only preparing himself of the outcome goes awry. Fortunately, his and Shallow's plan worked. Shallow emerged out and tackle from behind. The situation becomes strange after that. Do small woodland ceeatures normally stumble into a noisy battle in big groups? he notices the ugly purple smoke coming from Shallow. He stepped back. Magic cam sometimes be messy and he did not want to be among that 'mess'.

~~~~

The sight of Equestria's capital city protected by a huge dome was not few to Stormlight. She has seen it happen once during the wedding of Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor shortly before the city was attacked by changelings, she watched the event from afar when she was on duty for a weather management schedule; however, two of her friends was in the city with both returning home along with a few others to tell everyone what transpired in the city. The invasion drove Ire paranoid for months.

Was there an invasion? is an invasion expected to occur once again in Canterlot? Stormlight nor Derpy know; nonetheless, they still have to keep forward, even as Stormlight felt tingling in her stomach.

“I think it's a magical barrier.” she told Derpy.

There was only one available entrance that can allow them entry to the city, it was guarded by guards. One of them would stop them and question them.

“We're from Ponyville Post Office, good sir. We are here to deliver mails to ponies here in Canterlot” Stormlight replies calmly.

~~~~

Thunder and Buckshot were not stupid even if Buckshot but she knew where the boundary between intimidation and suicide meets. They decided to act stoic as they can.

Entering a tent, what Thunder first saw of the Alpha is her adnormally large wings, but looking at her face brought the feeling of standing before a general like the one she would feel when in being in the same room with General Autumn Leaf. The face of Alpha spelled danger for both her and Buckshot. Thunder winced when Alpha glanced at them as she and Sweetie Drops are having a one-sided argument. Thankfully, another steps into scene, stopping the argument from escalating. This agent whose name is Lyra would speak to Sweetie Drops casually before cheerfuly greeting and introducing herself to Thunder and Buckshot as if nothing happened a few seconds earlier.

“Nice meeting you, Agent Lyra Heartstrings, I'm Private Thunder Light of the Grand Pegasus Enclave, and this–” she nudged Buckshot on one of her forelegs, “-is the mare who shall stab you on the back in your sleep.”

“I'd gladly bite out your throat in your sleep, ****!” Buckshot glared at the Enclave soldier before looking at Lyra, “Everypony, including myself, calls me Buckshot. I was once a caravan guard.”

~~~~

If everyone were to observe the two mares, they would see Glory politely eating her meal while Iffy ate like a violent wild predator, eating all of her sweetrolls in less than a few seconds, a feat which can only be done by Pinkie Pie. The mare burped and spoke “...Oooh, this sweetrolls are much more delicious than those in Stable 55!”

Glory would finish her breakfast soon after, thanking their escort politely “I thank you for your service.” she said, smiling with gratitude, both for leading them and telling her about the procedure earlier.

~~~~

Nimbus and Pan would silently follow the mares into the school with both of them amazed by the architecture. Nimbus has never seen a building this tall before except for the Shorebreeze Academy back home.

@Kujamih

Their situation was grim, they are both desperate but it was their only solution to face this danger and stop from harming anyone. Silver may not like it, let alone the plan itself, but he knew not only he had no choice, but plans can work if carefully arranged. Shallow sounded unsure but he did not question her “Sure, I can do that,“ he poked his out, when he saw nothing of the creature, he speaks to Shallow again, saying, “Just give me a signal; make sure to give me or tell me at the right moment at the righr time, and at a right position so we can defeat the monster without loosing one of us, got it? good, good, good; for now, we remain silent and stay vigilant, you should another place to hide while i stay here so its attention won't shift to you when I come out.”

~~~~

Stormlight smiled  “It's alright. I am a more pleased you helped me get a job. It's not bad to try out new things and opportunities.” This was not her first time seeing Derpy get into trouble. In fact, she had heard news of Derpy from her world unintentionally causing trouble. She always blames the mare's eye condition, being the most obvious obstacle in Derpy's life till to the end of her life. Ponies like Derpy Hooves are those Stormlight avoided in order to become involved with their brush in with chaos but she did not hate them.

Remembering Thought Sender's request, how can she handle a trouble-magnet Derpy Hooves?

“Besides, we have a work to do. We got to move, I'll go and get my uniform and my saddlebags!” the first step is to fit in. “We are going to have a wonderful time working together as one, Derpy!” she chirped with enthusiasm.

~~~~

Thunder immediately retracted hee hoof as soon as Sweetie Drops told her about the collars “Right, I forgot about this 'security pre-caution'- Pfft! ugh, hey!” she found herself temporary stunned by water thrown at the face. She blinked the water out of her eyes.

Thunder nodded at Sweetie Drops before wiping ber face with her hooves. After successfully drying her safe, a smile formed in her lips.

...

the rest of their day was nothing but surprisingly casual despite that both of them now 'served' for one faction that will not hesitate about discarding them if they were to disobey. Buckshot tasted her first privelege of eating proper food, much to Thunder's amusement as the raider Sweetie everyday she's introduced to a food she is not familiar of. It reminded her of her early lives back in Cloudhaven, those distant memories bringing sadness in her heart knowing those pleasant fragments of her life with friends will never be repeated.

The trio would engage in occasional idle talks; Thunder was not much of a talker and did not want to reveal much about her personal life, Buckshot only made a few jokes with most of them being dark humor. Thunder found only a few of them funny. Apparently, majority of raider jokes are funny if you were a raider.

Of course, that did not wane Thunder's anticipation of cleaning her teeth which desperately needs to be brush ever since leaving Cloudhaven.

...

Thunder's peaceful and dreamless nap when a voice perceived through her unconscious brain, she visibly winced but did not woke up. However, her body being shaken caused her to finally snatch her from her sleep. She stretched out her body and yawns, licking her lips before looking at the source of the disturbance.

At the exact time, Buckshot kicked out her hind legs weak to cause no damage but enough to give Sweetie a message that she did not like anyone interrupting her nap. This has become somewhat a routine as one member of her group occasionally would poke fun of her. She would eventualy open her eyes, both narrowed at the agent. Their annoyance were immediately forgotten when Sweetie Drops told them they were having visitors. Both mares frowned, curious and concerned at this sudden turn of event. They did not say anything, and began following Sweetie Drops.

~~~~

Glory and Iffy are led to the cafeteria. Glory looks curiosity at the chairs and tables occupying most of the area, and at students of different species eatimg breakfast. Unlike Glory, Iffy knew where to get food here and its to approach the counter and order. Meanwhile, Glory turned to the guard and spoke “This reminds me of the taverns.” before following Iffy, who was already speaking to the pony at the counter.

“Mmm...anything sweet. Oh, maybe five sweetrolls. They were so popular in Stable 55!” the stable dweller chirped with a smile so bright Glory swore the mare would shine like the sun in the day sky, and the moon in the night sky.

Glory stepped forward and offered the pony behind the counter a smile of her own “Anything that is meat. My kind does not eat food of herbivores.” earlier, she saw a few students eating meat which pleased her knowing this country where herbivores make up the majority has a room for meat-eaters.

~~~~

Power of friendship. Heh. Pan smirked at that thought. It was indeed one of the most powerful elements in the world, but not always effective. If friendship could have saved millions of lives lost in his country's war...maybe here friendship is indeed powerful in Equestria, but apparently not in  the Thestral Kingdom.

Pan glances at his clothing in response to Apple Bloom's question. He frowned “I could see an outline of my wings, but they do not look too obvious unless your close. This should be fine.”

~~~~

Nimbus lowered his eyebrows as soon after he raised them. Of course, why Cozy Glow would brought in a friend without revealing his real identity if they were here to help him? He is led out of the hospital with the help of the duo. He did not say a word, only chuckling when Cozy boasts about making friends with an alicorn, who scorned her in response.

Nimbus would pause alongside his helpers after Cozy found herself bumping into a earth pony mare accompanied by a stallion who wore clothing complete with a hat. “Are you okay?” he asked with concern for the mare.

Before the mare could reply, Cozy and the alicorn suddenly called out to the mare, Apple Bloom, in unison, slightly surprising the stallion. Nimbus, on the hoof, was not too bothered as ponies living in villages and small towns tend to know each other. Not a few seconds after that the mares started conversing while two stallions kept quiet, both curious. The conversation became interested as it progresses; it turns out Apple Bloom was a teacher, who's favorite student happens to be Cozy Glow, had previously vanished from town. Cozy and Flurry did not seem to be aware of the other stallion's presence until Cozy became aware of him and started to inquire if he is Apple Bloom's lover. A sudden look panic engulf the earth pony's face, she chastised Cozy before looking at the stallion for help. The stallion handled the question better than her as he did not show any surprise of a flush of embarrassment.

“Coltfriend? I'm just a distant cousin of hers.” stated the stallion.

Apple Bloom would look at Nimbus' group and found her eyes' gaze pausing at him. She asked Cozy about him, mirroring the earlier inquiry when Cozy first questioned her teacher.

“I'm not her coltfriend, just a friend of hers.” said Nimbus.

Silver did not realize perceive the huge bear animal thing was a zombie, as taking a slice to the leg does not always result to fatal injuried unless left untreated and if the blood kept on coming out, something which he didn't see happen but he had already bolted away from the bear as far as possible and catch up to Shallow, who not only have the ability to hide behind shadows but also had the common sense to use it to her advantage; Silver had mixed reactions to this, mainly because Shallow can rest within his silhouette while.he.kept.running and hoping the growing exhaustion would not cause him to fall.

Maybe when worse comes to worst, Shallow can simply hop to one shadows to another while the huge animal gorges on the meat of his corpse.

Lucky for him, the huge animal had lost sight of them, giving him and Shallow time to stop and rest. However, the chase is not over. The animal would eventually track them down by their scent.

“Then we have to stop it from following us either by diverting its attention and lead it deeper into the forest or we kill it. Have any ideas?”

~~~~

Once again, he is helped by his host by leading him to the toilet where he would spend a few moments vomiting apple bits down into toilet water.

As Apple Bloom spoke up, a few things caught his attention. School of Friendship. That sounded oddly cheerful to be a school's name, what do they teach there? friendship? he had nothing against that, he only found it weird.

“I am fine eating fishes.” he told her. Fish was the cheapest meat to available in his kingdom, and that was what him and his family commonly eats before the war; he only started eating other meat thanks to his royalty status, “I eat all kind of meat. What I cannot eat are the foods of herbivores.”

~~~~

The ordeal during the night has left Stormlight skittish and alert, so it wasn't surprising she would jump and let out a mighty yelp of fear when she felt something touch her shoulders, only turning to see it was Derpy who now wears a mail courier's uniform. 

After greeting Derpy with a “Good morning” of her own, Stormlight goes to the kitchen to eat breakfast, assuming Derpy help her find her way to the room.

~~~~

A splash of water erupted beside Thunder, splashing Sweetie Drops and the pegasus while Buckshot's head emerges from the surface. After shooting the raider a glare, Thunder spoke to the earth pony agent “Normally, I would think you are lying and hiding your true intentions but listening and taking two prisoners to a hot bath is a risky act to make. For now I will trust you and accept your proposal.” she offers a hoof for a hoofshake.

Buckshot appear to be reluctant, nonetheless she decided the agent deserves her trust “Count me in.” she said casually.

~~~~

A voice interrupts Glory and Iffy from their conversation.The voice belonged to a guard, addressing them from behind the closed door of their bedchamber. He told them he is going to be their escort, and the meeting Starlight mentioned yesterday is going to take place an hour later and they are both requested to join. Glory assumed that they will going to be discussing  about the SMILE with Flurry, Starlight, and other participants, although she was confused why they want Iffy to be in the meeting. As she was thinking about this, the guard from the other side of door told he would guide them to the cafeteria. Glory was confused with the unfamiliar term, even more so when a green ball of equine fur rushed to open the door with great anticipation. That is when she found out what cafeteria word means. “Take me, take me! I can't wait to eat for breakfast!” Iffy bubbled to the guard.

Glory calmly approaches them and stops beside her hyperactive earth pony roommate. She wondered what kind of food delicacies does this kingdom has to offer.

~~~~

Nimbus' ears perked when he heard the door open, and entering the room is Cozy Glow. She wasn't alone, as a unicorn mare came in after. He was not too bothered by the stranger as ir could be Cozy's friend who wanted to pay him a visit “It's nice to see you, Cozy,” his eyes turns at the unicorn, “Who's this friend of...yours” he trailed off when he noticed a pair of wings on the mare's sides. Wait a minute, horn and wings? An alicorn? he does not recognize the face of the alicorn visitor, but he knew what an alicorn meant; he was at the presence of royalty.

...

He did not bow though, as it could probably resulted in him worsening his injuries.

Nimbus waa surprised that his injuries were healed. He felt a little soar but most of the pain wear out. Nimbus outstretched his wings, amazed.

He turned to the alicorn and smiled “Thank you for healing me, your...highness?”

Do you like reading books? if so, what's your favorite book? how about genre?

What is your favorite dessert?

Waiting for a Huawei email response.

@Kujamih

Pan raised his brow, not getting what she said, “Yes, I did ate the apples you served me-” he suddenly began coughing heavily before followed by gagging, his face turning green, “W-Where's the bathroom?” he asked through a closed mouth as he fought his best not to throw up.

~~~~

Silver's eyes turns into tiny dots as he looks back at the huge bear “Oh, Mr. Scouthoof's spirit, please give me strength to win this battle.” he readied himself, pointing his sword at the beast. He was afraid but he still had a plan to avoid getting injured, or worse— die.

If the purple bear, as beautiful the night sky, decided to rush forward, he would run at it, then skid down between its legs with the sword pointed to slice the flesh above him. It might not be too effective to injure or kill the animal but it could momentarily daze it enough for him and Shallow to escape.

“S-Shallow,” he called out in a shaky voice “I-I have a plan. Prepare to run!”

~~~~

Glory was not having a good dream; a vision of her husband her second born Elise Bloodtthirst going crazy and a lot of innocents in front of her eyes was too much to handle. one pony after her pony, she began screaming as father and daughter stood over her youngest offspring Chichi, sobbing hysterically as she pleaded with them not to hurt her; they did not listen to her. Oh, Faust, please make it stop, make it stop!

“Please get me out of here, please...”

Then a voice replied.

“WAKE UP!”

Glory's eyes snapped open. She was gasping both from the nightmare and the voice that almost made her jump out of her bed, even taking her seconds to take heed the pair of cyan eyes staring at her, let alone the eyes' owner who sat on her body. When she finally notice the earth pony, she tried to move but was pinned under the weight of the earth pony's green-furred body, “Wh-Who...?”

“You are having a nightmare, vampony!” yelled the green earth pony.

“A-A nightmare? Oh, I guess that makes sense,” It was not her first nightmare ever since the beginning of the war, nor it was the first during her family's reign, “May it be respectful if you can get off my body so I can move?”

The mare shook her head “Nuh-uh! You are a vampony, and a vampony feeds on the blood of ponies!”

Glory deadnapped, offended, “We did slept together on one bed and you are still a living being and not a shriveled corpse.” she told her with blunt honesty. The mare seemed to think about this; after a moment, she decided to get off but not without giving Glory an 'I got my eyes on you' gesture. Glory noticed the mare was still wearing the navy blue clothing, and the strange contraption on her leg. Glory off the bed “What's your name?”

The mare's reply came in an instant “Iffy Quizzy, but everypony just calls me Iffy. How about you, vampony?”

“I'm Glory, a Bloodthirst Thestral,” finding her crown on the floor beside bed, she picked it up and placed it on her head, “I am the queen of the Thestral, but you may call me Glory as you wish.”

“Ruler of what?” the mare raised an eyebrow, “Why did you use the ruler as your nickname? it doesn't make sense. Wait, do you like using rulers? I got one in my room.”

Glory was the next to be perplexed. Why did the mare not recognize her title? didn't she know what it meant? how can a mare be so ignorant of such?

However, she would not get her answer any time soon as the mare spoke up, “I'm Iffy Quizzy, but everypony calls me Iffy, but you can call me anything you want, Miss Glory!” chirped Iffy Quizzy. She would look at the room around her with a wide smile, eyes sparkling with awe; she turned to Glory and spoke “Oh my Celestia, your bedroom is stinking glamorous! Oh, I hadn't seen such a beautiful room and colorful as this before coming across a colorful library!”

Glory chuckled “As I was told, this is a dorm, a unique kind of bed chamber, they did not told me much about dorms. Perchance, we are both staying here to hide from an organization that ruthlessly capture outsiders of their world-” there was a subtle pause but it went unnoticed by Iffy as she was too engrossed to listening to Glory, “-like rooting out weeds from a wheat field. Those who run this school has offered us to take shelter here.”

Iffy frowned “Perchance? Organization? Outsiders? Weeds? Field? What are they? I can't heads and tails of what you're saying.”

Glory sighed “For somepony who appears to be more ahead of my time, your lack of understanding even for the basic food baffles me to oblivion. It makes me question the education of your nation.“

Derpy and Time Turner had been nothing but kind and generous to Stormlight as if they had known her for a long time or she were part of their family. She did not like using them but was thankful at the same time, knowing she might end up living outside.

As it was time to retire to sleep, Time Turner gave her a couple of rules which are nothing out of the ordinary, but the first one was different.

Don't go in the basement. You might hear a banging noise or something down there—but i suggest you pay it no mind.

That caught her off guard, even unnerving her. Questions began firinh up in her mind. What's inside the basement? why was it locked inside? is it...dangerous?

Nonetheless, she did not question Time Turner and continued listening to him and to his advices; she said no word, only smiling even as Derpy and Time Turner retires to their room.

Still playing silent type, eh?

Stormlight winced but promtly ignored the voice. She laid on a spot far from any equipments and slowly drift to sleep.

Or atleast anyway.

She shot up, letting a surprised yelp and glanced around her. A collection of noise reached her ears; she easily discern what it was. It was the sound of someone knocking– no, slamming on a door.

Don't go in the basement. You might hear a banging noise or something down there—but i suggest you pay it no mind.

Her eyes widened, remembering what Time Turner told her.

You might hear a banging noise...

She curled into a ball, her body started shaking.

Don't go in the basement.

Hmm, maybe you should go and see. Perhaps they're holding a pony inside and they don't want you to know.

She gritted her teeth “Sh-Shut up.” she whimpered.

Me? Shut up? Why, I am just trying to help you, Stormlight. It is like adding spice to a cuisine to—let's say 'spice things up' and add more scare to your situation.

Stormlight put her hooves to her ears. Maybe if she can sleep if she ignored the noise. Yeah...

Nimbus, or Stormy Showers as the hospital calls him due to his short interview with the doctor from the previous night, did not had much to do for most of the day other than examine his wings, talk to the nurses; one of them who delivered and spoon-feed him (much to his embarassment), read books he had requested, rest, and take occasional powernaps. He found out he was Ponyville as he had asked one of the nurses of where he was. He was millions of miles away from his home. His minds wanders back to his family, friends, and his squad.

Thunder was more than happy to take a warm bathe on a clean and pristine water after after a few months of wandering in the Surface; while Buckshot suspicious of the unique look of the water, she decided to join seeing the winged mare and their captor not dropping dead convinced her it was safe. She did not regret her decision. “Ah...good water.” she moaned. She began washing her dirty body while an amused Thunder watches nearby not too far away.

My interest on mlp characters, both canon or not (Including Original Characters) has somewhat been repetitive it has become my own version of The Lion King's Circle of Life, like for example:

Finds interest with Night Glider; losts interest and becomes interested to another character; lost interest to that character too, and after cycles of finding and loosing interests of 25 characters later I found interest with Night Glider again; repeat. 

Although that doesn't apply to Starswill the Bearded; I like him but i quickly lost interest of him after a few days.

During their trip to the grocery store...

Silver chuckled “Ah, Silver Knight, one of my oldest nicknames. I'm Silver Chary, just some town guard of fair rank. There is nothing special about me before the outbreak. Most of what I do in my duty is chasing wild animals out of town and scolding prissy tourists.” Silver decided not to pry into Shallow's story, while he does understanding she is a soldier of some sort, the rest of her statement was hard to comprehend.

During the fight...

Silver physically, and mentally stumbled with surprise and indignation. Did she just insulted and called him a coward? He swallowed his pride. He did told Shallow about his regular face-off with wild animals that stumbled into Richville, but they are 'normal-sized' critters, not...this gigantous monstrosity of a predator! He's not equipped and trained to fight an animal like the one they are currently fighting. For Celestia's sake, he is a town guard, not a suicidal jumper!

Nevertheless, he did not want Shallow to fight the big bear alone.

“What?” the doctor had already went out of the room, leaving a very confused Nimbus Fairwind wondering what Cozy did to earn bad reputation with the doctor. Demon huh?

He silently snickered to himself, finding the thought of the mare who saved his life being called a demon amusingly bizzare.

Stormlight would blush, and at the same time, become nervous by Sender's compliment/ expectations for her “See you too tomorrow, sir.” came her hushed reply, smiling.

She was grateful when they finally went out of the office and finished their interview with Sender. They will be met by Timer Turner outside who was happy with the good results but Stormlight was not into crowds, “Well, i guess it went well and I got accepted. Mr. Sender told me come tomorrow.” she said calmly.

Pan was a little startled by Applebloom's hoof making contact with one his fangs “I'm a thestral, and no i'm not a green eater, I belong to the bloodthirst thestrals, a meat-eating thestral type.” he told her calmly, “Our diet is strictly meat only; anything that isn't meat we are allergic to that no matter how they smelled good or look presentive.”

Glory was pleased by Starlight's proposition “I'm intrigued of your plans, Doamna Glimmer. And I would like to hear about how I can help stop this SMILE. You will tell me once preparations is needed.” she said before leaving with Flurry, who escorts her and the unconscious mare to their chamber. Glory will not attempt to start a conversation.

Arriving at their bed chamber, Glory would stand by the door as Flurry took Iffy and placed her on a king-sized bed before she tells Glory what she needs to do including if the earth pony woke up from her sleep. She also told her there is going to be a meeting. “I'll make sure to keeo that in my head, thank you Flurry, have a pleasant night.”

After Flurry leaves, Glory flopped into the bed beside her unconscious roommate, laying on her side facing the mare. She looks at the strange contraption on the mare's left foreleg; her last thoughts was what purpose does it serve before falling into sleep.

Thunder frowned; Buckshot scowled and snorted. As much as they hated  blindly following someone's command who made the same threats to kill them and put a choker used to stop them escsping or killing the agent, this was their only way out of being killed.

Thunder would speak as they followed Sweetie Drops “We should give her bath first” she was referring to Buckshot, who was not only covered in dirt and whatever got into her coat but she smelled terribly bad. Thunder wrinkled her nose.

“You can't blame me for not taking a bath, there is no way I would take a dip in a radioactive lake or a mirelurk-infested pond.” Buckshot frowned.
