The base loomed out in front of him as his travelling cloak billowed out behind him as he reached the giant iron gates. He looked over his shoulder, pushing the gates open. He walked out onto the training ground, aptly named "The pits" as the cloak flew of revealing that he was wearing full body armour.

"DO NOT FAIL ME, UMBRA THUNDERWING!" Luna's words echoed in his mind as he looked over the dummies and targets, strengthening his resolve to continue. By now the advertisement would be all over equestria. He wondered whether he should wait to see if trainees would start to turn up right away or to go start on the paperwork. 

"So the training begins" he said to himself.

[Prince Midnight 817]

Midnight dropped into the pit folding his wings and looking around, he had a cloak on and his bow slung on his back, as he took his cloak off, revealing his light armor and black and silver mane, and as he flattened his mane it revealed his horn.

He looked up bowing to princess luna, then looked across the pit to the other pony in the pit with him, "Midnight moon, reporting captian."

Shadow grumbled as the cart hit a large bump and made her hit her head on the back of her seat. "It would have been so much easier if I could have just teleported here, and a lot less sunny." she thought to herself burrowing back further into her hoodie to escape the wrath of the sun. The wagon rolled up to the front gates of what was known as "The pits", the driver called out to the guards that he had fresh meat. The guards gave a smile to each other and opened the gates. Once the wagon came to a stop Shadow and the other new bloods hopped off the back and scrambled into a line.

Shadow arrived just in time to here Luna's voice say; "ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME, UMBRA, YOU ARE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES!" The young captain saluted then turned to face them. "Listen up maggots! Line up in order, ready your application. I don't want to see one hoof out of line!"

[Vedana Purity 221]

Orange Lightening landed on the ground as if a thunderbolt crashed to the ground. As the smoked cleared, there was a orange Pegasus wearing black sunglasses and a black leather jacket. "Whooo mama! Was that the most awesome hardcore ride ever! Man i thought those bad boy lightening clouds almost got me, but I am just waaay to hardcore to be hit." The Orange Pegasus said, grinning up to the sky.

 

The guards blinked at the newcomer but nonetheless opened the gate, as orange Lightening made his way inside and formed up. "Well lets-a-get this done baby!"

Shadow reached into her duffel bag and retrieved her application and stood at attention holding it out for inspection. Until the gound shook a bit and she faltered.

Shadow turned slowly and glared at the new comer. "Hey get in line or we'll all get into trouble you idiot!" She yelled at the orange Pegasus.

Orange Lightening blinked as he slightly lowered his sunglasses at the female Unicorn and grinned, "Oooh a mare with attitude, me a likes indeed!" The Pegasus teased her, as he got into line. He chuckled as he stood up straight, with lightening sparks coursing throughout his body ever since he arrived at the place.

[Prince Midnight 817]

Midnight frowned looking at the others, then tilted his head for a moment before fishing out his application with his magic, he could move things sure, but actually applying his magic for anything other than moving the odd quill is beyond his ability.

he had experience in the Equestrian Defense Force as a scout, and as such he felt more at home behind enemy lines, and in hit and run attacks, hopefully luna and the captian saw his potential.

Hank was one of the new recruits that stood in line with the others. He got his application out as he looks forward from under his hood. his cloak is white like it looked like he could be in Celestia's army. Has he looks forward waiting. The ones that can see the back of his head can see faint 13 colors glowing. The colors are, light blue, green, gold, purple, red, grey, yellow,  really light blue, blue, green, white, and brown. His cloak also hid his cutiemark and if they looked closely they can see a bit darker white where the rank is supposed to be,

Shadow rolled her eyes and shook her head."that's it he's the first meal" she thought jokingly of course. She stood back at attention and held her application out. She couldn't help but look at the other recruits some were nicly built like the orange pegasus and others were on the small side."Bet they don't get past the first week" she mumbled to herself.

Umbra walked down the line, picking each of their applications from them, throwing them into a neat pile. When he reached Lightning he stopped. "Turn it off, Sparky" He said. Lucky him, a military nickname and acknowledgment already. He carried on down the line, barely stopping when he read midnight's resume, pausing instead in front of Shadow. "Hood off, vampony, it's moonlight" He said. "You're not excused either, Hank. Off with it" he took the last forms then stood staring at them all.

Orange lightening grinned, as he lifted his sunglasses and closed his huge wings, the sparks then died out. it was nice to get an acknowledgment already, but nonetheless, he decided to keep quiet to hear what the big bad boss man has to say. Who knows, this maybe enjoyable for orange lightening.

Shadow blushed "Uhh err.. Yes Sir!" She threw her hood off and shook her shortened purple and black mane making it slightly messy but not all to messy. she stood at attention once again."Damn how'd he know I was a vampire so fast? *remembers to application* OH derp" She thought to herself. She got a few uneasy glances from a few recruits to which she gave a menacing  fanged grin back to. One even fainted.

Midnight couldnt help but chuckle softly at the vampony scaring a few of the recruits, he made a mental note to try and make friends with her, being on a vamponys good side, could be benifical, and she seemed like the nice enough sort.

he decided to keep quiet and stick to the shadows like hes used too not make too much of a ruckis for himself.

Umbra's eyes washed over the line, narrowing on the fainted guard. "Already a failure, so early on. A demonstration is in order. Epopo!" Darkness washed over the poor fainted guard like water. When it washed away, he was gone. "We begin training right away! Either find a sparring partner or train against the dummies or the target range." he said, lightning punctuated his sentence  either he was showing off or really pissed off or both. "Before I leave you maggots to your devices, a couple of rules; Stealing is only punishable if you're caught, public displays of affection are to be kept to a minimum. All funny business in your own time please. Barracks are to your 5-o'clock. GET TRAINING!"

Shadow looked around for a partner but the rest of the recruits stayed a good distance back. "So it's gonna be like this again huh? Heh... I should have seen this coming, no pony likes a vampire....." Shadows ears folded back as she started to move towards the practice dummies alone.

Midnight saluted with the rest, then moved to the target range easily avoiding most of the ponies in the group, only saying a short hello to the ones he felt could be friendly including the vampony, he pulled out his bow and strung it up moving as quick as a timberwolf.

he stood on his hindlegs, getting his balance before pulling out, nocking an arrow, and drawing the bow in one fluid motion, before taking aim.

Hank nods as he removes his hood once Umbra kept going.there was a scar over his left eye. If Umbra notices the scar, his time here would be short. He went to the dummies as he went to train using close quarter combat. As others can see him train, his fightning moves are advanced that a newbie can't do it. Hank hopes to not catch a lot of attention.

Umbra leant on one of the dummies, not far from Shadow, sipping a cup of tea, rubbing his head slightly. His armour lay metres away, unguarded. What was he trying to prove? He didn't look much older than them, in fact he seemed a little younger than a few of them. Perhaps the life of service to Luna left something unmistakable in his eyes. Or maybe it was just the way he'd talked to them.

Shadow looked in the direction of umbra and unsheathed her sword. "Brisingr!" Shadow shouted and her sword caught fire. she looked the black blade up and down satisfied she stepped up to the dummy and started practicing on it, some of her moves were those that most sword masters of the present didn't know of. She didn't care if people looked or if she was judged, she just did what she knew.

[Prince Midnight 817]

Midnight smiled as his arrow hit dead center, just like he knew it would, this bow was special too him, smiling he drew another arrow and let it fly hitting the next target, just off center, and just did the same thing, hitting all ranged targets, in or damn near, the center.

Smiling he trotted down the rangeand picked up the arrows, putting them in their quiver before making his way back, then blinking, noticing the vampony, he watched from afar smiling before returning to his own practice.

[SørenWolf 227]

Shift banked over the shadowy camp. It had been too long since he had been in griphon form. He landed and brought out his papers. after handing them over the jetblack griphon received his orders and looked around. a fire caught his eye and walked over to the pony wielding the burning blade. He bade her hello as he began pulled two daggers out of his bags he made quick work of a dummy and then turned to the pony with the fire blade. "I grow tired of this, how about we spar."

Hank soon pulls out a knife as he trains on the dummy. He looks really good as he uses the knife. If umbra notices the knife. He can recall battle with a pony who stabbed his back and tried to go after luna. Umbra can remember the scar he gave the pony. that pony is hank.

Shadow stopped hacking at he dummy and looked at the gryphon talking to her. "Oh somepony who is not afraid to talk to a vampony? I accept your challenge. But first give me your blades." She said as she ran her hoof over her own blade putting a magic barrier over the sharp edges.

Umbra threw the cup away as it emptied, watching her analytically. He smiled, walking past her, leaving his armour not far from her. "Good work, but don't waste yourself on 't dummies." his voice held a kind British accent rather than the cruel and calculating one of earlier. He walked of in the direction of midnight.
