AiE LLuna 203

You sat down,  supplies set out as you stood on the training field. The only one presently around being The zebra, Amos, who had mysteriously appeared some time shortly after the investigation, presently walking over the grounds, a long staff like stick held in his mouth as he shook it, the shaking creating a light maraca like shudder from two cylindrical containers tied to the end of the staff. It was described 'Purification Herb' described by Amos as a blend made specifically to cleans and remove the negative energies created by Q's dark magic.

"And how are you today Mister Anonymous" he greeted you "or is it Midnight Sentry, I'm always forgetting names these days."

"Both" you say "But, I would rather it just be Anon to my friends, Midnight is just for my team."

"Very well" he says as he holds and leans against the staff. He looks you up and down apraisingly "You seem troubled."

"I am" You don't hesitate at this point, you know specifically never to lie to Yoda-esque individuals.

"Alright, Tell Amos what is wrong." he said, eyes demanding honesty.

"I'm a little...unnerved I guess," you confess  "Seeing Lance...turn into...or get forced to become Q,...knowing that the spell created Lance as a mere disguise dis earns me, I trusted him, the fact that he was a sleeper agent for the Sons of Discord somewhat put a dent in my confidence. "

He closes his eyes a minute, a small fraction of wrinkles in his eyes smoothing out. "If I recall...the spell used to create Lance...was a Fugue spell" he licked his lips a moment "Yes, for the spell to have worked properly..the one that put Q in the body, the original owner would have been long gone from the body they used"

"If you're telling me Lance wasn't the original owner of the body, that's not really a helpful fact."

he chuckled a rye old man laugh. "Well, it can help in knowing that when Q cast the spell on himself the spell convinced him so thoroughly that he was Lance that he'll probably be experiencing Bleed effects for quite some time"

More time went by as you soon met up with everyone. Trixie and Ivory meeting standing with Flim and Flam "We have a few things to show you" Flim stood forward.

"We been building some new tools just for your ranks" Flam continued

"Anything to put my mind away from the crazy Wild Bill shit I was educated on" you tell them as they show you a metal funnel like object with a wooden stock attached

"We call this, the Blast Bucker" Flam says placing it on Trixie's Armour pauldron "Now if the fine lady Lulamoon would"

She nods turning to a small wooden dummy constructed to the side "It's activated by standing at a certain stance, or with unicorn magic pulling the trigger" He went on as Trixie activated it, her horn glowing as the funnel shot out large bits of shrapnel..

A shotgun

"Unfortunately, it's a working prototype" Flam frowns a bit lifting the gun "We've not worked out the kinks just yet for ponies with out magic."

"And the point of showing me is?"

"Warm ups" Ivory said with a grin

The brothers looked to each other with rather shit eating grins "Wait until you see what we have next" Flim said as they led you all elsewhere

Eventually they led you to what you believe to be the royal Hangar; Rarely used, large as can possibly be and Hidden away somewhere inside the mountain that Canterlot was built into.

The guard members selected for the mission were all there, lined up in front of a large thing hidden under a large tarp. "This was the First assignment the princess assigned us." One of the brothers said, "Thousands of yards off fabric, reinforced with enchantment spells"

"By far, our greatest creation, based off a few months we spent in Griffonia studying their powerful zeppelin's We present..."

And then it was revealed. The tarp dropped, revealing something that would make the Goodyear blimp soil itself. a massive Zeppelin, the material for the balloon a dark black, speckled with starlight runes, a highly reflective silver bay at the bottom.

"The Dusk Deliverer!" They both exclaimed the name

"The insides are large enough to accomadate an entire guard team for missions such as these, the balloon will blend into dark skies, it's designed to resist most offensive spells."

"We'll be operating it on it's maiden voayage" The mustached one smiles.

You stare up in awe of the massive aircraft, a whistle escaping your lips.

"Ah." You suddenly hear the sounds of Luna, You turn to see her in the company of Celestia and Twilight, You're entire squad, Save for you and Luna bow in the presence of the princess of the sun, "I see you've seen the flagship of the Lunar navy" You can see Luna smile a bit

Celestia's face seemed  to lack much of the impressed air that you and the rest of your company had "It's quite the sight to see what you put together behind my back"

"Not in front of the guards" Luna says calmly "We're here to see you off" she directs herself to you "Are you all ready?"

You nod to her turning to your small troop "Lunar Guard!"

Your voice signals their square formation into two lines of five, not including your lieutenants and The Flim Flam Brothers.

You immediately switch into hard core captain mode. "What is our mission!?"

"Fight the dark Nopony Else Dares!"

"And our goal!"

"Deliver The Moon's Might!"

"What is our name?!"

"The Lunar Guard!"

A moments pause before you"VIVA!"

"LU-NA!"

Never gonna get tired of that.
