Chapter 4 – Gearing Up for War

~0~0~

2 days before Winter Moon Festival

"BY ORDER OF PRINCESS CELESTIA, THE FOLLOWING PONIES HAVE BEEN DECLARED ENEMIES OF THE STATE, TWILIGHT SPARKLE AND TALDEER SPARKLE, PRINCESS LUNA AND PINKIE PIE. IF YOU ENCOUNTER THESE PONIES THEN DO NOT APPROACH THEM AS THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS" shouted a herald to the mass of Ponies. Amongst them was a familiar colt in a robe that matched his princess's colours of midnight blue.

Autarch Scythe was seething, this was the third Herald that he had heard basically denounce his princess. If he wasn't on a mission he would have killed all 3, but his mission at this moment was recon.

"More heralds denouncing you Lulu" Scythe said into his ear mounted mike, he heard Lulu's voice

"Figures the daemon would denounce me sooner rather than later. Come back, we are in need you back here"

"Okay will be there soon" Scythe said as he passed a Pegasus in warlocks clothing

"Warlock" he muttered to the passing Pegasus who nodded and muttered back

"Autarch, the Dark Lance is almost ready" he said back as the two parted ways

~0~0~

Twilight was busy organising the supplies that she had acquired from her Parents, Whom had taken the group consisting of Taldeer, Luna, Scythe and their Daughter into their home. Hiding them in the secret basement that Twilights mother had sung out of Wraithbone (Being a bone singer allows for that).

"Is something the matter Twilight" Sol asked "your mind is very cloudy at the moment"

"Sorry Sol, after all that's happened in the last 4 days, I just don't know what's happening anymore" Twilight said, her coat had become almost pure white and her golden eyes where just the start, her Pink Streak had become much darker along with her mane's colour becoming lighter "I'm scared of what is to come. Freeing Discord, Over-throwing Celestia, Our Souls becoming one and my body changing faster with each passing minute"

"Too be expected. Celestia was your mentor, and now to find out that she is a daemon is not really what you had in mind was it. Now that the bond between us becoming much stronger you are scared that you will lose who you are?"

"No, not that, I just wish it was under better circumstances"

"Speaking with Sol again?" Luna asked

"Lulu"

"Yes" Twilight said slouching onto a couch "I'm more scared about Sol and my Soul becoming one than what is ahead"

"I cannot fathom what you are going through. But we need to Free Discord Tonight or we won't have a chance otherwise" Luna stated "Besides, if appearances is what is really going through your mind right now, I know of a spell that can give you back your appearance for a short period of time, mostly like an hour or so, depending on how powerful you cast it with. Celestia… sorry that daemons record was I think 4 years" Luna stated as Twilights ears picked up

"Show me" Twilight stated sharply.

"Okay then, this may take a while" Luna said as she began to cast the spell

~0~0~

Rainbow Dash was confused to say the least. When she had arrived at Ponyville she was greeted by Fluttershy at her door. Fluttershy asked her to make a pinkie promise about what she saw next. Not that It mattered, she knew about it from Twilight/Sol and Taldeer's Vision.

She was now at sugar cube corner with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy

"So, what I need to show you is TOP secret okay Dashie" Pinkie said in her usual manner

"So you're not still pissed at that kel'fornet comment?"

"Not anymore. Turns out it means Royal guardian and not blood traitor, go figure" She said bouncing down the flight of stairs to the basement.

Rainbow walked to the basement and saw the Extra room that had been created under Sugar Cube corner. On a pedestal was a light blue alicorn, Aéther, with Rarity fussing around her with various forms of Fabric and colours.

"Princess, I brought Rainbow Dash" Pinkie said bounding around the confused mare.

"Thank you Rarity, it has been so long since I have had a Tailor that knows what I want and not what the people want to see" Aéther said as she stepped down

"Think nothing of it darling I have always wanted to make something for a royal princess." Rarity stated as she walked over to where Fluttershy was playing a simple game of scrabble with Applejack

"Now then, I must assume that you are Rainbow Dash of Loyalty then?" Aéther asked, Rainbow nodded and blinked as she flicked her sight to the magic. She noted that Aéther's core was pulsating a soft blue colour "ah, now I noticed that you have a talent that is not natural with Standard Pegasai"

"Sorry, had to be sure. Celestia has a Void for a magic core" Rainbow said, shaking the sight from her sight. Aéther smiled at the comment

"You are trained in how to see using magic vision then?" Aéther asked "Always good to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

"That is true" Rainbow said "well this is certainly not what I expected" She muttered

"Now I have to ask, Rainbow Dash, do you swear loyalty to me?"

Rainbow Dash shook her head; the others looked shocked as Rainbow looked at her with a smile

"Not to you. But I do to Princess Luna who sent me here in the first place" Rainbow stated

"Ah, she was too young at the time to know of me" Aéther noted

"Yeah, and we already have a plan for 2 days time. You need to be ready to act against Celestia then" Rainbow said attempting to leave with Pinkie Pie blocking her "Pinkie I am needed elsewhere, so please get out of the way"

"Dashie please stay" She said, Apple Jack, Rarity and Fluttershy where all shocked at what happened next

"Move or I will make you move. I am needed to release someone who is needed in the coming battle" Rainbow said

"No"

"Very well" Dash stated. In one quick hoof flick and jump she cleared Pinkie Pie and landed at the door "I shall see you in 2 days. I am needed in Canterlot. Also Aéther"

"Yes Rainbow Dash of loyalty

"We are going to stop Celestia; you got that promise from me"

"Very well, we will be ready" She said to the tail of Rainbow Dash as she left.

~0~0~

That night

"I cannot believe that we need to free him after all that we did to stop him originally" Twilight said. Her coat was now its original colour rather than the White it was becoming thanks to Luna. She had been only an hour ago, or picked up on Sol's thoughts, that Sol was the Soul of an Alicorn/ Eldar Princesses that was not related to Celestia, Luna or Aéther and that she was a soul stone from a Different Craftworld.

"I must apologise for keeping that little secret of mine from you but it was needed. I feared that if you knew" Sol continued to apologise. Twilight had forgiven her, but refused to acknowledge that she was becoming an Alicorn. She was thankful that her wings, which Luna had confirm where growing in when she had complained of wracking back pains a few hours ago, where magically hidden. Though very small, about the size of Scootaloo's, they would continue to grow in size till they were the correct size for her.

"Luna, what is it like being an alicorn?" She asked as they approached the Statues that was lining the courtyard.

"Different, but nothing out of the norm I suppose" She said "Then again I grew up knowing nothing else" she said

"We are here, an alicorn and a half corn" Sol mocked

"HEY. I'm technically an alicorn"

"I don't want to know" Luna said as they approached the main reason the two where there.

"Discord" they both muttered.

"Twilight, you have to do this" Luna said as she noticed the Tears in the eyes of the mare.

"I know, give me a minute" She said. Composing her-self, Twilight's horn glowed a mix of Gold and Violet. The Stone around Discord head began to crack away revealing the Chimeras horse head.

"ARGH that hurt and why can I not move. Oh" Discord said looking down to see that only from his shoulders up was free of the stone "Well now that is new. As well as seeing a certain pony and alicorn. Well what do you want; to scoff at me before re-stoning me?"

"No" Twilight said hoisting Sol to his face. She was using magic to hold up a section of paving to talk to him face to face "I need your Help"

"Moi? You need my help? The Herald of chaos and madness" discord said laughing it up

"That's a lie and you and I both know it was a set up by Celestia!" Twilight told Discord. His once happy expression changed to that of seriousness "So I need your help"

"You told her this Lulu?" Discord asked

"No, we found out by a Vision that she shared with Taldeer and basically you admitted to it"

"So that future has not happened" Discord stated with a smirk "then it is true. I had but 1 city that I made a Chaos centre, nowhere else"

"We know this. I suppose what I am asking is that will you help us overthrow her?" Twilight asked

"What's in it for me, I mean I'm certain that I want to help you, but first off, you turned me to stone for a second time. So it better be good.

Twilight looked at Luna who was hovering at eye height alongside her. She nodded

"I can give back that town" Twilight stated

"You really certain you can do that? It was on an island in the middle of nowhere" Discord stated "Then Celestia nuked it"

"I can" Twilight said as the Magic that was holding up her glamour failed

Discord whistles as twilight flapped her mini wings in annoyance

"Well then, that answers that question. Yes I shall help you" Discord said. Twilight forced the rest of the stone to fall free of Discord

"I trust him for some odd reason. That sensation I do not, I fear that we do not have much time" Sol stated.

"We need to get out of here"

She was right though. Standing there pissed off was Celestia with a whole flight of Pegasai and Earth pony royal guards.

"AH sweet Celestia. How have you been?"Discord asked

"Discord. My student I knew that you had betrayed me, but really. Did you think that I would let you get away after a stunt like this?" Celestia had said only to have to dodge to the left as Sol missed her by inches. Twilight's face had changed to one of Rage and she was now on Hind legs, mini wings flared and Sol in her grip and in a ready position "What has happened to you?"

"You should know, you forced this onto me when you tried to steal Sol!" Twilight shouted "And I think it's time you get reacquainted with her!"

Twilight was a blur of movements as she tried to impale the imposter Celestia. The Daemon summoned up her own blade that glowed white and connected with the spears oncoming tip. Sparks flew off the clashing metals as they continued to battle. Discord raised an eyebrow

"Is that Twilight Sparkle really Lulu?" Discord asked, Luna nodded

"Yes" she said as the clang of metal on metal echoed continually as she continued "she has been Soul bound to the Soul Gem, Sol, and their forms are now almost finished. Soon Twilight Sparkle and Sol will cease to be two different souls and be one" Luna admitted, Discord knew what that meant

"Have you told her that much?" Discord asked

"Not all of it, they share thoughts and her body is changing so they are aware of the certain outcome that is going to occur. At the rate that she is changing I think it will be tomorrow or tonight" Luna said sounding rather sad as Celestia managed to get a swift kick in to Twilights mid section. This sent Sol one way and Twilight into Discord, who caught her

"Well then, this is Sol is it? I thought I remembered you"

"I would rather die than let her have me. The statements, if she tries to use me shout it out and it will complete our binding" Sol stated as Discord was holding a panting Twilight

Twilight's eyes widened as the shaft of Sol snapped under the pressure of Celestia

"DO IT IS THE ONLY WAY!" Sol shouted

"Forgive me Sol… 'ISH NE KOL FO NAH'" Twilight shouted. Discord dropped her as he and Luna took a step back.

"WHAT IS THIS" Celestia demanded as the Soul Stone that held Sol began to crack and with a flash of light, shattered. The Gold aura that flowed from it, shot straight into Twilight "Oh you have got to be KIDDING ME"

"DISCORD GET US OUT OF HERE!" Luna shouted, noting that Twilight was convulsing of a forced Soul combining.

"No need to shout" he said snapping his lions paw he teleported the group away

"I thought I got rid of that… particular pest years ago, No matter" Celestia muttered as she picked up the fragments of Sol up in her magic. The stone fragments had all but vanished.

"Captain Dispose of this mess and Find them"

"Yes your highness"

~0~0~

With a Solid Snap, Discord, Luna and a convulsing Twilight appeared where Rainbow Dash had said where the rest were gathering in preparation to the winter moon festival, And the inevitable downfall of the imposter daemon.

Fluttershy and Applejack looked up when Luna appear with Discord holding Twilight.

"What the hay?" Applejack stated, her mind not yet registered the Discord thing.

"Out of the way" Luna shouted in the royal Canterlot voice as Discord dropped Twilight onto a cloud that was propped up by the couch

"Discord?" Fluttershy muttered "here….eep" she continued as she Darted behind the couch

"Wait DISCORD, what have ya done to her" Apple Jack shouted as Discord grabbed her leg that she tried to buck him with

"My dear Apple Jack. I assure you that I am here to help you and not to re-take Ponyville" he said as a bright Beam missed his snout by inches. Discord looked at where the beam had come from.

"Drop her" Pinkie stated, in her fore hooves was her Rifle. Discord literally dropped Apple Jack, who hit the floor with a solid thump, before appearing behind her and was lying on a Cotton Cady cloud

"Discord, Stop fooling around" Luna Said "Pinkie he is with me and Twilight. He will not cause any trouble WILL YOU DISCORD"

"Oh come now Lulu, I owe my freedom to that mare on the cloud couch" Discord said pointing at the still convulsing Twilight "I'm not about to go against my word. Besides Pinkie my dear, chocolate milk rain?" he asked her.

Pinkies straight hair 'Phumped' and she was her bubbly self again as Discord drenched her in Chocolate milk her response was to unlock her jaw and let it fall into her mouth. Apple Jack was more concerned about the now limp Twilight, her coat had gone almost white (it had a slight tint of violet to it) and her pink Strip in her mane and tail had gone almost red with her mane being a light shade of purple. Her 'mini wings' where now fully grown in and she was now in all accounts an Alicorn.

"Will she be okay princess?" Fluttershy asked as Rarity walked in to see Discord with Pinkie pie laughing

"I don't know, I have never witnesses a Soul Binding on the level that she and Sol had" Luna said as She approached the new Alicorn.

"I just hope that she is okay tha is all" Applejack said "what happened to her Cutie mark?" She said pointing out the Changed mark. Instead of twilights 7 pointed Star with Stars around it, it was now the same sun on Celestia's mark but had the background like Lune but that was more of a Twilight orange colour than the midnight blue of the night's sky.

"I don't know, maybe her name has had something to do with it. I am unsure"

"DISCORD" Rarity shouted as she walked out with Aéther behind her

"AH generous Rarity, a pleasure to see you again, how is 'tom' doing?" Discord mocked only to have a death glare come from Luna "Urgh, fine. I am not here to cause chaos but to help you" he said crossing his arms and lying back on the cotton candy cloud "Also I was freed by Twilight who asked me for the help. I have agreed" he looked at Aéther and bowed to her before rolling over on his Cotton candy cloud "Aéther my dear, how have you been?"

"I have spent the last 990 years climbing out of the magic core of Equestria, relaxing the usual Discord; How about you?" Aéther asked

"Being encased in stone for a long time, escaping and the being encased again before being released by the mare that encased me the second time; Not much" Discord said sounding rather bored with the whole ordeal.

A voice came from Twilight that sounded like her but was not hers entirely; it was an octave higher than her normal voice

"Urgh, what the hay happened?" she asked

"Twilight, Your okay" Apple Jack shouted as her friends crowed around her

"Apple Jack, Girls" Twilight muttered "sorry about this"

"About what?" Fluttershy said as Twilight got up and observed her new form and how her Eldar gear had altered slight to compensate for her wings

"This whole thing, the Eldar, Daemonic Princesses…the whole soul binding thing" Twilight said as Luna Discord and Aéther Approached. Coming from the entrance was Storm Caller, Dark Lance (now healed up) and Taldeer.

"Do not fear that which cannot be changed" Aéther said "We are here to stop this madness once and For all. For it is only us that know of the madness that is corrupting this land"

Storm caller wolf whistles at Twilight only to be sent sprawling by Dark Lance and Taldeer's combined hooves.

"ARGH WOULD YOU STOP WITH THAT" he shouted.

"Now that we are all gathered what is the plan?" Luna stated

"Twilight Sparkle?" Discord asked as she stepped to the centre of the room

"Are you okay?" Aéther asked

"Please call me from now on Twilight Sol or Princess Sol" Twilight Sol stated "The plan is very simple in design that even we can't mess it up" she continued as she looked at the group.

"Explain it then" Taldeer stated "Also I was not expecting such a Radical Change of appearance in you sis" she said admiring the new form of her sister.

"That is not my fault, by that Slaanesh Daemon Celestia" Twilight stated "Discord, you will re-create the Ponyville from last year, the chaos Capitol of the world and Luna you will release nightmare moon"

"WHAT!" Luna shouted "That was not the original idea Twilight"

"Maybe not, but that was before this battle got involved with the daemons" Twilight stated

"Pardon? Daemons?" Applejack said as Twilight activated a Holographic display showing the main throne room. Standing around 4 pentagrams where unicorns all with magic pouring into the centres.

"Is that?" Taldeer stated "Mum, No"

"no, not her please not her" Twilight stated, tears in her eyes as the body of their mother rose from the pentagram and explode in a shower of gore as a small rift in time and space opened up "That is why the plan changed" she said slamming her hoof into the floor, tears pouring down her face as Taldeer collapsed in a heap. Fluttershy comforted the now broken mare.

"Why are you showing this to us Twilight?" Luna asked as the other 3 forms also detonated into gore as 4 greater daemons of chaos appeared in their place, bound to the pentagrams.

"Because this has just happened, we are now not only facing an imposter, but we now have to deal with a full blown Daemonic invasion" Twilight said tears still falling down her cheeks

Discord's Eye twitched; Pinkie Pie's hair went Flat, Rarity Fainted, Fluttershy stiffened, Taldeer was a mess, Apple Jack was shocked, Rainbow Dash was shocked that one of the sacrifices was a Wonderbolt, Aéther placed a Wing on the now stoic by crying Twilight Sol.

Storm Caller was shocked at this, Dark Lance was quietly sobbing in her helmet only to have a wing placed over her body and brought close to its owner, Storm Caller.

Luna was the first to break her silence with a voice that all of the mares hoped never to hear again. Her coat grew black as her Main became flowing with a blue and starry; her hoof guards become more gothic as her eyes became slits. She let out a snarl as she finished the transformation. With a split second later, Luna Re-appeared next to the newly formed Alicorn mare.

"This is not what I had hoped to embrace but it necessary after that blasphemy" Nightmare Moon said, her eyes Twitched at the sight of Celestia walking up to the four and bowing to them "Wait, how is this possible. I am you and you are me?"

"Magic Nightmare Moon" Luna said sounding cocky

"If it's a distraction that we need I am there" Discord said summoning up a towel for Taldeer "This goes far more than a Petty grudge I have with that mare" he said handing it to her.

The holographic display began to waive as a large rift opened up releasing Daemons, damonettes, Plague bearers, Horrors and of course Blood letters. All of them massacred the gathered unicorns except for 4. One was clearly 'the great and powerful Trixie' and one was a Pegasus that Rainbow Dash Recognised form the Wonderbolts, Spitfire.

"4 chosen champions of Celestia, 4 greater Daemons of Chaos and a whole horde of blood thirsty daemons" Aéther Stated "And we have what? The 6 elements of harmony, an embodiment of Disorder and 4 Alicorns?"

"Not entirely true" Twilight stated "We have a whole army that will answer our call" she said looking over at Storm Caller

"Moi?" Storm said as the realisation hit Aether, Nightmare Moon and Luna like a tonne of muffins

"Oh, but we would only have my forces. Those loyal to me, those only include the Dark Reapers, Dire Avengers, Fire Dragons and some if not all the Wraith Lord and Guards" Luna stated as Autarch Scythe came rushing in

"We have a problem. Daemons loyal to Celestia have begun to round up ponies in Canterlot and Manehattan" he stated

"Autarch Scythe, I want you to send word to the Craft world that the Eldar go to WAR" Princess Luna stated "And do not fear Nightmare Moon, for this is necessary evil for the upcoming battle" she said looking at her Alter Ego.

"As you wish, Princess Luna" Scythe said bowing to her.

"Do you forget as to my position Luna? I am Twilight Sol. Celestia has abandoned her position of power with her side of the Craftworld, they will follow me" Twilight stated "sister, I shall be going with Scythe to claim that position as Student to Celestia" Twilight continued helping her sister up "I want you to stay here with my friends to help with what evacuation we can for the ponies here in Ponyville"

"Of…Course" Taldeer muttered.

"Wait your leaving?" Fluttershy said, Twilight nodded

"We are in need of help, with the Forces of the Eldar, we can stop this before this world is lost to the Daemons" Twilight said as she summoned up a web way portal

"Holy molly" Storm Caller stammered as they looked at Twilight in confusion.

"A simple task now that I know how to do it, shall we go then Scythe?" Twilight said as Scythe stepped through followed by Princess Twilight Sol.

"So how are we going to evacuate the ponies around here?" Apple Jack asked. Aéther looked at one of the walls and Concentrated. Her horn flared up as a new section appeared adjacent to the main room

"We can use the area I just added and if the need arises I can add more. My talent is the Aéther its self so I need not worry about things like space" Aéther stated.

"well let's start rounding them up, but how" Pinkie said "I know how, Applejack Rarity I want you tow to Spruce this place up, I'm going to throw a PARTY" she said summoning up her Party cannon and blasting it off.

"Worth a Shot. Though i feel somewhat conflicted" Nightmare Moon stated with Discord hanging over her with a piece of mistletoe, she simply batted him aside as she walked off to one of the secluded parts of the now growing underground bunker.

~0~0~

Black Reaper had the forces of Princess Luna ready in less time than it took to take a smoke break. Autarch Scythe was at the forefront looking over the gathered forces. They were advised that the daemons threatened the Craft world and that the battle would take place in the coming hours. The Forces of the Moon included Dark Reapers, Fire Dragons, Dire Avengers and a Full Contingent of Wraith Guard and Wraith lords backed by the Seer Council of Warlocks. Alongside that was a full contingent of the Warp Spiders, they followed both the Moon and Sun.

"Today Marks the day that we the Eldar Finally fight for our Craftworld. Today we act against the transgressions against our home, our culture and our Families. The False Leader, Celestia, has betrayed us all and has released the Creatures that we fear the most. Daemons of the 4 gods have begun to cleave their way over the top world" Autarch Scythe began. The noise of chatter amongst the rank and file troops could be heard. He swallowed but continued "We are going to show them the True might of the Eldar and that we are NOT GOING TO LET THIS SIMPLY SLIDE!" the uproar of approval sent shivers down the spines of those that were not going to war.

Twilight Sol walked along the gilded hall's that members of the Craft world would if they were heading to see Princess Celestia. She noticed that various Eldar stood aside as she walked down the halls and entered the main hall. Standing there was 5 Ponies that represented the forms that followed the summer section of the craft-world. An earth pony Colt clad in Bone singer gear, a colt Pegasus in Swooping Hawks, A mare, she recognised as the Howling Banshee Exarch and a Mare that wore the guardian gear. She could tell that they were arguing something chronic. The 5th pony sat in a Semi relaxed state and wore gear that she would find in an Op-shop discard pile.

"And Arhm telling ya all this is a Load of Bullshit" the Colt in Swooping Hawks gear stated, he had a very thick Southern accent "Pray tell that you dohn't believe the lies Exarch Gilded Spear?" he asked.

Gilded Spear, the Howling Banshee Exarch Shrugged "I believe in Facts and Figures not Myths and Legends. The facts that Celestia has abandoned us and even instigated the daemonic invasion herself" the stated as the holographic display showed the final moments before the end and destruction of the spy bot.

"It would seem that we are at am impasse as the Fracking Harlequin doesn't want to take sides" the Bone singer stated, his English accent passing through.

"I am with the Banshees; we have seen the Proof that Celestia has betrayed us. We cannot let our own brothers and Sisters of the moon fight the battle alone?" The guardian Exarch stated, she was really pissed off as her brother was the Main Exarch for the Dire Avengers

*Clap Clap Clap* the Harlequin started to clap as the 4 looked at him, a Permanent smile was on the Porcelain mask that he wore instead of a helmet

"Ah this is far too funny not to overpass I must say" the Harlequin stated "But you have not come here to listen to these foals bicker milady?" he asked, the 4 raised an eyebrow then looked to see the Alcorn form of Twilight Sol standing there.

"I have not; I'm assuming that you are the Exarch of the Harlequins, Cicero?" Twilight Sol stated the Colt nodded and got up and did a little jig.

"Yes YES, she knows, she knows of Cicero. But I am not Exarch, we do not see things like that. But that must mean that you are who exactly?" Cicero asked, the 4 Exarchs also looked at her, she looked at them and swallowed, their gazes were like drills to her very soul.

"I am Twilight Sol. Heir to the Summer Section of the Eldar and was princess Celestia's Student" she said back

"Bull shit" the Swooping hawk shouted "we all know that princess Celestia's student was Twilight Sparkle, not Twilight Sol"

Twilight simply waved her hoof and showed them all the holo-display of what was occurring on the surface "I was Twilight Sparkle until the soul of Sol bound herself to me, Equestria is now in trouble by Daemons. Lead by Celestia"

"Ah" the Swooping Hawk muttered.

"Makes sense" the Dire avenger Exarch noted

"I will be behind you all the way Princess Sol" Gilded Spear stated

"As will the Tank divisions and Bonesingers" the Bonesinger stated.

"The guardians of the Black library, the Harlequins, are at your disposal milady" Cicero stated as he balanced on his fore hooves

"It would seem tha' what you say is true. Tha' Swooping hawks are ready to rain down fury" he stated

"As will the guardians"

"Thank you all" Twilight Sol stated "Very well then, gather what forces we have and meet at the main grounds for further order"

"Milady, before we go. It is customary for the Princesses to choose a Division of the Eldar as personal guards" Gilded Spear stated. Twilight mulled this over for a few minutes

"I have an idea. I know exactly who I want as my guards" she said leaving the chambers to a confused bunch of Exarchs.

~0~0~

"Pinkie Pie" Twilights Voice said over the holo-display

"Twilight!" she said back "What's happening?"

"I could ask you the same. How goes the Evacuation?"

"Every pony is safe; your Father is here helping with what he can. Did you know he is a Warp Spider?"

"No, but that's not a part of the Sun section, Listen to me Pinkie. As a Princess of the Eldar, I am allowed to choose a division to act as my personal guards"

"And you're asking me this why?" Pinkie said as Aether ushered in another group of confused ponies.

"Because I want you and the ranger's to be my personal Guards, I want you by my side as a friend and as my advisor. You know more about the areas here than I do" Twilight said. Pinkie just stood there shocked "Will you do it?"

"Yes, I will. I know of a few rangers around these areas" Pinkie said glancing over to a group of Ponies clad in Green Camo Cloaks being ordered around by one with his hood down. "I'll do it, no; the rangers will answer your request princess"

"Thank you, well I should be off. Troops to organise and a massive Webway portal to activate" Twilight said as the holo-display went off.

Pinkie looked at the gathered rangers. The leader walked up and looked at pinkie

"Exarch Pie, the Rangers are ready, from the ones that could make it that is. The others are already engaging the enemy in various spot fights" he stated as pinkie counted the heads. 14 in total "Exarch, something is the matter isn't it"

"Rangers" she began they looked at her "We are going to battle these daemons on our home turf, and the Princesses are looking to us for the vanguard. And we will give them that. But that's not all. Princess Sol, now succeeded Celestia, has asked the rangers to be her guards" she said. The rangers all nodded in shock more than anything.

To be continued
