The Guard pony lowered his head and sighed "i cant let you out until you tell me what happened, i have a report here that you were flying with out a licence, flying with intent to drink, and resisting arrest, please just verify what happened, because ive been getting complaints that some guards are a little "rough" so i need your account so i can get you out as fast as we can"

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

"you don't look like one of those jackass... uhm i know that face.. i had the same when i was forced to leave the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation... have you been degraded?"

 

"Well i was in the city for my own buisness, i run the ponyville dam all by myself, sometimes i run out of component and i need to go to the city to buy them...since the latest embargo i can't find them anymore, except at a little shop that sells almost everything... even banned stuffs... i got here to buy the things that are now in my bags" stated Volt looking to his bag hanging on a nearby chair out of the cell

"i Bought also a bootle of Vodka.. to survive the cold that there is in the top of the dam at night when i work.. i never got intention to drink while flying.. also i dind't know i needed a bucking licence! last month i just flow here and return only thanks to my wings! and no mental-issued guard knocked me on the ground! What is the point of being a pegasus if i can't fly! i'll just buy a car then! "

Volt paused, the guard was scribling something

 

"Then i took off and your "friend" helped me to land on my back.. starting to mumbling about stupid law things... then they tried to fry me with a taser.. fools... then i woke up here..." after some seconds of silence Volt resumed..

 

"happy now? can i go? My dam DOES require my presence.. do you want to tell your superiors that ponyville is now a mermaid-pony place becuase the only pony that can handle it is currently closed in a cage? I HAVE BUISNESS TO DO!" raged Volt

 

"also those changelings won't stay away from it much more" mumbled with a line of voice Volt to himself, sure not the be heard

The Guard responded "reassigned"  he listened to his story "ill let you out, a couple of suggestions, next time your in town, get a licence, its free, just stop by the station and fill out a small flyer, and also, work on anger management, it could help you not get hit over the head, if you had not tried to run off you could of explained your situation and he would of directed you to the station so you could get a licence" he opened the cell "now have a pleasant day your free to go" he looked behind him looking at the poster and sighed, "posters like this are making us look bad, but we will catch whos ever putting them up"

"yeah.. look bad... i would like to know if she really is alive.. i'll manage my anger when they'll manage to get more ponies at the dam... they think it is only a secondary problem.. bah only ponies in the city are important.. savages like us are only a weight... i hate this brave new world... there is nothing really brave in living in a golden cage.. i don't mean this one" Volt was pointing the cell " but the entire city... they don't live anymore... they survive.. yes with all comfort and stuff... but the world is outside the city and not behind those magical fields..."

 

"by the way can you show me the way out? where are we? under the castle basement? Or the fortress? I would like to say two kindly words to your collegue.. maybe i can find your barracks here"

"yeah ill show you out, and no we arent under the fortress, just one of the stations in the city" he lead him out of the holding cells and into the lobby "the one who detained you is long gone, he just dropped you off and left me to deal with you, ill have to give him a citation..."

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

"citation? mention him my hoof... bah i should really let things go" sayed Volt grabbing his bag "Everything is inside.. good... no damage either"

 

"since he broke my bottle he should buy me the most expensive Applejack Daniel he could find!".. Volt stared to a clock in the middle of the lobby.."well i guess this day has been trashed... can you please make me a flying pass? i want to check out the castle since i'm here.. maybe a touristic walk can help me calming down..."

"sure, just wait here ill get one for you, and ill see about getting you a refund for your alcohol" he goes over to the counter and in a fit minutes he came back with a card and some bits "here you go, a word of advice, dont keep alcohol in an unsuspecting bag"

"keep the refound mate.. i just want it from him... i'll shall stop drinking... and living alone... i just can't get any friends.. everypony is so Celestia damn busy in this city... well thank you mate, see you" Volt toke the little paper lefting the guard with the bits on his hooves

"No, the best of the great get this job. The best of the best all vowed to never take a position in guarding. Not after the hipocampi wars." He said, adding one last thing before he walked into the throne room. "And before you say I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm General Chain Mail, veteran of a thousand battles." He added as the door shut. He knew his name would be sub-legendary for his efforts in the last secret war, of the 7 that had been fought in the last century alone.

 

And so, when he got to the throne he saluted, "General Chain Mail, reporting from the front lines." He said, not waiting for any response. "Seeing as how security's tightened in the last few weeks it's clear that you know the first thing I was going to tell you. And the fact that you know it lends further credence to the second thing I've found out. Namely that there may be a member of the royal changelings in the castle. I motion that we stop this secret war and launch a full on tactical strike against the changelings. Total War." He said, adding the last part so that there was no part of his message that could be misinterpreted. (In case you haven't brushed up on military terminology Total War is a complete mobilization of troopsi)

Skuldaf eventually sighed as he ran out of feed for the birds. He'd have to head to Canterlot to replenish his supplies. While he had no money, the unusual stuff he found on the mountain was typically enough to get him by. All he needed to get was some bird-feed and some assorted meat for the carnivores

Celestia sighed, her mane wasnt as bright as it was on the broadcast screen "We cant do that, i have intelligence reports that the changlings have very powerful weapons, the only thing stopping them from using them is we also have very powerful weapons, if any one of us uses these weapons or mobilizes out right, then its over, we all die, ive sat with the council for a long time discussing this, we also cant let our citizens panic, if word gets out that the changelings have that kind of power then fear sets in, if the changelings get us in a grip of fear, then theyve already won"

Volt arrived at his dam... "Well since my day is over i shall continue my studies..."

 

Volt entered in a small room, a large label "HIGH VOLTAGE" was standing on it..

 

"ah.. i love the burning smell in my lab" Volt said turning on the lghts

 

"here's my cute little baby" he said hugging a two meters tall tesla coil... "are you ready? today we are gonna increase the voltage up to eighty Kilovolts!

 

Volt flying around the room pulled a lot of lever, turned knobs and pushed buttons.. then a huge electric streamer erupted from the breakout point on the topload of the coil

 

"Hell it would be awesome to put this in to a tank...The Tesla Tank "smiled Volt.. "well it looks like we have some more tweaking to do.."

"Yes, I know about the intelligence reports. I wrote the reports myself. And, even if mobilization isn't an option, which it won't matter if we make the first strike or not if my suspicions are confirmed, we can't keep on going like this. It's like sending a spy in to fight a better spy, and their armies out number us 6 to 5." He said, trying to make it clear that they were in a hopeless situation. "Besides, it won't matter if people find out about the Changeling's WMD's if they know we're more powerful then them with our tech. If anything we could increase patriotism, both here and in the Crystal Empire. And it would catch the Changelings completely off guard, so if we perform traditional secret war mobilization on a larger scale, they wouldn't stand a chance." He argued, his well rounded plan most likely going to be shot down, but whats the point if you don't try.

Skuldaf eventually walked into the city, frowning at the new sights and smells. He'd have to go to the palace to get his bearings, but he didn't have a permit to enter. Well, there was no need for that. The pony climbed up the castle using the intricate designs as hold. Eventually, he came by a room with talk of war. Skuldaf pressed his ear against the wall and listened as Celestia spoke of war

[GameytheGeemer 147]

@,

Before he had a chance to hear anything of importance, however, as it was a dumb idea to listen in on a well trained soldier. They had training and armor that picked up on any form of life.

"Hold on. We're being spied on." He said, before Skul would have a chance to run very far Chain was out the door and went in for a tackle, using his military strength to his advantage. If it succeeded Skul would have a trained veteran with his front right hoof on his chest and left front hoof over his throat to pin him down.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?" He asked, suspicious of changeling spies at all time.

"Skuldaf, unit 16" Skuldaf droned out mechanically. "I am here to buy bird-feed" he continued. "Get off me" Skuldaf said, glaring at Chain. When Chain didn't budge, Skuldaf felt his horn begin to heat up. "Please, unless you want all of us to die" Skuldaf pleaded as his horn sparked with destructive magic

"Likely story. You should know that as a safety precaution, powerful anti-magical fields were placed around the fortress." He said, taking the threat very non-seriously. If he did happen to go boom with some powerful magic than the people, not having the entire story, would see it as a changeling strike, forcing the princess into a corner about open war. "How does a simple trip into the city for bird-feed end up with your ear pressed against the door of the throne room with none of the royal guards around?" He asked, he knew that if any one was trained enough to break into a high-security zone with no magic, than he could come up with a better excuse than that.

"Well, it's been 20 years since I was last in the city, maybe more" Skuldaf replied, letting some magic seep from his horn. "I wanted to get my bearings from up high but heard your little talk with the Princess" he drawled, letting the destructive magic scorch the floor behind him. "By the way, warring the Changelings is a horrendous idea. Now please let me go" Skuldaf pleaded, not wanting to fight this stallion

[GameytheGeemer 147]

"Yes, it would be a bad idea. If it weren't for maters of national security that you don't have clearance to." He said, not caring if he had to fight Skuldaf. While he was starting to hate the dictatorial princess and everything she stood for, he still followed the procedure that he had learned as a foal. "And if you didn't know where you were going, why didn't you go about the normal rout of asking somepony rather than commit several felonies?" He asked, still smelling something phony about it.@,

Brindle sat in his chair, carefully reading the pages of his text book. He looked up, and seeing the clock, closed the book and therw it on the desk nearby.

He shifted his feathers, and rising from the chair, deciding it was time for some fresh air. As he made his way down from his room to the front door, he realized he had to go and buy several materials at the local market.

Groaning, he retireved his satchel, and slung it around his broad, brown frame, making sure not to ruffle any feathers.

He had a premonition that it was going to be a long day.

"I didn't want to be seen for fear of Luna, the Evil One" Skuldaf said, his tone drenched with fear. "Now, let me go before I hurt you, please" Skuldaf begged, hoping it wouldn't come to violence. He might need to fight though as his horn was rapidly filling up with magic that needed to be expelled

"Dear You." Chain Mail said, aiming that at Celestia instead of Skuldaf. "Is that REALLY the most flattering cover story you could come up with?" He asked, (Check the OOC section, I came up with a backstory there on why the world is so fucked up. Short story, Cadence, Twilight and Luna died in a Crystal Pony rebellion at the All-Princess Summit.) "As for hurting me, I'm a general trained in hand to hand combat wearing a full set of tactical ballistic-proof combat armor in an anti-magic zone where only the guards and the princess have clearance to use magic. Regardless of the fact that you seem to be slightly older than me, I doubt that you could hurt me." He said, knowing full well that no mater what his armor was tested against some of the better weapons in the military's arsenal.

"I was part of Luna's Project, I doubt that means much" Skuldaf drawled out. The pressure in his horn was too much to bear now. "I'm sorry" the unicorn apologized before blasting Chain Mail in the eye with a bolt of destructive magic. While Chain Mail staggered, Skuldaf charged with his shoulder thrust out, slamming into Chain Mail's gut

Skuldaf grunted as the shots hit him before letting out an explosive pulse of magic, knocking the guards over. There was no more time, he had to discharge, now! Skuldaf roared in pain as he sent a barrage of energy beams and energy balls upward, being careful not to hit anypony
