SketchKnight

A horrible act has been commented to Equestrian soil. Sketch Appears as the Wonderbolt distract the monster that now slash the air useless as ponyes runn away in fear. Sketch's Armor flashes into existance clipping onto him as he smiles as battle draws near. He Looks back a few brave ponies step up to the call to defend their homes. Sketch drew his sword in his magical grip and stood ready. As the wonderbolts drew back as the Ponies in the area had fallen back It was up to Sketch, and the few brave ponies beside him to delay the monster until the REA arrived in force.

Sketch Stand without question, But if the danger was threatening your home Would you stand with Sketch? A new drawing idea and I was wondering who would stand with Sketch ^^

I was thinking maybe three or four unless pegasui then about 4-5 tops in the drawing

(Once I get my Labtop working with my scanner I can post it ^^)

Doctor Pulse returned with aa bloody smock and went to the sink to clean his hooves, and Looked about THe most seriously Injured were treated and it was minor things for now. His Nurses ran about still trying to keep pace with the still influx of ponies. He Looked to See that same stallion now bandaged and resting in a cot with the steel rod out of his leg. He was very luck that he would be able to walk again on that leg. Pulse thought to himself and than looked to Brown Lily and Show&Tell, and shook his head with a warm chuckle. Remember the time long ago. He quickly shook his head again clearing his thoughts. He ran over the suppiles they had and where to place the treated. and How to treat the still coming in.

"Nurse Lightheart, Brown Lily?" He called from a table with a few spread papers about. Each had lists of suppiles and each one out of stock was scribbled out number next to the supply. "I need to figure out who in darer need of treatment and those that are stable enough to wait...."

"Incoming! Four pegasui! Criticals Ribbons on all four!" A Unicorn stallion or a blonde mane shouted inside the tent

"Blast...Alright, Nurse Lightheart, Please prep the stations, Brown Lily, Please Start moving some of the treated or able Ponies out of the Tent, leave the ones that can't be moved right now.

"At once Doctor!" Nurse Lightheart a white mare unicorn rushed back to the station as a few tired doctor spreped themselves for more work on saving lives*

To Brown Lily's eyes The tent was nearly filled to the brim with ponies, In bandages and Some were panic when the news of more injured ponies were coming. Some having hear The doctors request started to stand some, weren't need to be up other were able to and willing. One that wasn't was a police Officer still in his blue uniforn, though He had been torn down the front as his chest was covered ina heavy bandages. "Alright , You hear him all able..." he clenched his chest as redness began to seep through the white cloth. and He wobbled towards Brown Lily.

Brown Lily followed the doctor carefully while watching him work with the patients."Well ah don't do much work in medicine cause ahm a botonist.I do basic first aid stuff and if you need I know which plants are okay to eat and what plants will kill you as soon as they land on your tounge."She said carefully trying not to block the ponies rushing around.

"Plant you say...?" He changed a bloody Bandage quickly on a cut up mare as her colt sat beside her with a bandaged head and over one eye. "It will be alright Your not in any danger now my dear, just rest for now..." he softly spoke to her before Returning to Brown Lily and Scowled at the injured Show&Tell "You there! Get back to your bed Before your wounds open up again! I'll tell you when you can walk again!" the Older stallion walked to him and gently nudge him back to his bed. "Come on lover boy, swoon later, once your healed." The older stallion pushed him back to bed before returning to Brown Lily. "Well I could use some herbalist, Find your supplies that are useful in the local fauna, and Report back Here and start helping if You haven't already brought some with you. Our suppiles will sadly run out if we keep this place going like this...."

"DOCTOR PULSE! Your needed over here a steel rod went through this stallions hind leg!" A Earth pony mare called out from the entrance of the huge tent, as A panting and bleeding Unicorn stallion was wheeled in and moved to a surgeon area.

"Excuse me..." Doctor Pulse said right before dashing to where he was needed the most. For a moment the ground shook a little from a collapse of a far away building, Tthis scared several inside, thinking that the ground shakes had started again. When it stopped The Nurse fought to keep everypony calm but it did little to ease most.

Brown Lily was trotting towards Manehatten.Brown Lily was very late but at least she got there.Lily went straight to the hospital."Hello guys.Ahm ere to help the medics."She said with an accent.

Inside the makeshift hospital several Nurse rushed about and Doctors moved several gravely injured ponies to isolated sections. A older looking earth pony Stallion with a tannish coat, walked over, looked over Lily and then to his patient that groan painfully. "What are you skilled at missy?" He asked as he wrapped a burned leg and checked his IV bag. "Its alright this medicine will help just rest and don't move lad" The doctor spoke softly easing the injured pony before He move to the next bed. Motioning her to follow as MOre and more kept coming in through the tent door.

Cedar was sweating and his horn felt like it was lit on fire.Tears formed in his eyes.God it hurt just to use a little magic.Then he heard creaking and the sound of rubble falling he noticed that a whole room from the next building was sliding off and heading atraight towards him Sigma and the survivors.If I let it fall we'll all be dead.If I break it I might die!Cedar then stood his ground and as soon as the room slid off he used his magic to grow a very big vine from the ground to stop the floor and as the vines slowly sunk back into the ground Cedar collasped.

A medic quickly Rushed to Cedar side before checking her over physically before encasing him in an aura. The other Unicorns started to remove the fallen wall that Cedar help block. As more Ponies did what they could to help. Sketch uncovered a Hole leading to a opening below, HIs horned glowed as as one Earth pony slowly made her way inside with a medic pouch

Sigma nodded at the unicorns who helped her out and frowned slightly. She was a bit relieved for the help, but she was also a bit angry that they hadn't even asked. She was using personal spells, for a single unicorn to use. With their assistance, her magic became overloaded, and she lost even more energy than she normally did to attempt to re-adjust her efficiency to account for the power of the other unicorns.

After a brief second, she heard a near bye stress sound. A building was collapsing towards them. She prepared to use a explosion spell to completely destroy the piece of rubble before it hit them, but she was interrupted by a large vine shooting up out of the ground next to her and catching the heavy room, barely stopping it's momentum before it hit the ground. She wasted no time, having heard the thud of Cedar collapsing. She ran around the protruding greenery and used a magic spell to quickly launch the unicorn onto her back. Thanks for 'saving' me again, she thought.

After getting out from under the building, she placed the unicorn down for a medic pony to collect, and looked back at the room. Her next target. She started her adjusted spelunker spell again, and found one heat signature in the room. She decided that it wasn't worth an intercom spell with just one possible pony, so she put a magic barrier around the heat signature and focused hard on the building again. After a few seconds of hard thought, she made sure not to over-adjust her magic again, in case those other annoying unicorns tried to help again, and she threw the different wall, ceiling and floor slabs towards the ground, holding the barrier with the heat signature inside.

She saw that the heat-signature was a pony, and smiled. Good thing she didn't blow up the room. She gently placed the pony on the ground next to the vine and focused on the slabs of rubble again. She didn't have a massive quantity of rubble now either, so she used a slightly quicker, 'waste to energy' spell. The rubble on the ground glew again in that distinctive reddish color, and it split into dust. Pure, well grounded dust. Sigma was using her magic to cut the slabs in hundreds of different places per square inch.

Of course this was costly to her magic energy. She restored what she lost from chopping the stone from the energy she got from burning it into dirt and ash. After a few seconds, what used to be a large pile of rubble was now a neat mound of ashy dirt. Sigma looked over and saw a medic pony had already taken care of Cedar and the pony she saved, so she wondered if she should stay a bit longer. This was fun! She was getting to destroy stuff without being told not to! Well, not yet at least. If she screwed up even slightly, she'd probably kill somepony anyways. She frowned again and looked for her next target.

Sketch glared at Sigma. "Remember that some of the other building are standing only because of other building next to them! If one vanishes, the other loses its support....If you scanning for life make your scans wider to include the neighboring buildings....Otherwise we might lose more than we already have!" Sketch shouted as He started to slowly remove rubble chunk by chunk. There was a reason, why they were removing so little at a time, and It was make sure that no more were killed off by foolish moves like the hotel. Cedar was taken away by Coalheart As the pair of unicorns Help stabilize the fainted unicorn. more injured were removed. It was then the other side of the hotel neighboring building caved in on the last few medical ponies. "By Celestia!" Sketch Turned and aim his horn to the falling debris as it glowed it simply vanished from sight in a snap and flash. He wobbled and fell to one knee. The debris fell with the rest of the neatly piled ash and rubble.

"Captain!" Coalheart rushed back over as the medical ponies finally clear out the injured from the hotel.Sketch weakly stood as teleport that much rubble so suddenly knocked the wind from him. "I suggest You be more mindful of your surrounding you bucket!" Coalheart threw his spite into his words as he aided Sketch back to his hooves. The earth pony returned with a pair of colts, and moved them away from the area.as Sketch shook his head and recovered his might as he returned to Lifting more rubble from the building he started as the earth pony and a unicorn came to search the opening again

So much of the work was physically draining. Snapshot soon realized the obvious truth. "I'm out of shape," he said to himself. Of course, that didn't mean he couldn't help out. He was still more than capable of moving the rubble, and also took pictures of places where the rescue team still needed to look. Sending the pictures to the team leader, he would then go about his business clearing more of the rubble and wiping his forehead from the sweat that was now dripping down his face.

He did realize that there were still plenty of ponies that they wouldn't be able to save, however, he tried to put that thought at the back of his mind and focus on the job at hand. He also knew that he would probably be the one who would have to take pictures for the obituar- Oh Celestia I'm going insane, he thought.

Sketch Smiled and another unicorn with the same Leather armor helped him move rubble, an earth pony walked by giving quick drink to keep the rescue efforts running. the juice help keep them alert and active as well as tasted great to the tastebuds. Soon the first building was cleared of rubble enough to allow medics in and get out injured.

"Lets move to the next building friend, the Blue stallion unicorn said with a grin as he wasn't sweating yet, but with help it put less stress on his magic. The stallion said to Snapshot as he galloped to the next building next to the hotel.

Sigma looked at Cedar and nodded in acknowledgement. Of course, a friend. Sure. That would work well. The last friend she had got burned to death from one of her, 'outbursts'. She'd just abandon him as soon as she was done at this town. Or, at least until she finished this hotel.

With another grunt, she focused her magic densely around the hotel building itself, and focused hard. This was the part where the magical strings connecting her horn to the building, the invisible ones, started to try weighing her down. She countered them with more complex formations of levitation magic, and got a ton of efficiency, but lifting up a seven hundred ton pile of rubble was still incredibly hard. After a minute, she finally got the entire building weightless, allowing her to lift it from it's spot on the ground.

This part was the most crucial. Cutting the rubble to save the ponies inside. She couldn't just leave the hotel floating there too long, or the ponies inside would either burn to death from the barriers she set up, or Sigma might lose all her strength and let the structure fall accidentally, letting them get crushed. She was too professional to let either of these things happen, and she already had cutting paths set up. She frowned again, and her horn lit up even more, the aura around it now darkening in color and growing so dense that it was physically weighing her down slightly.

Her horn flashed again, and suddenly, a few perfectly directed waves of fiery light slashed across the rubble. She quickly separated the different sections of the rubble. There were at least a hundred pieces of what used to be a fairly whole hotel. She multi-tasked her magic, and used the barriers to get the other seven ponies safely to the ground on the spot where the hotel used to lay. All the while, she was starting to disintegrate the stone and rubble in her magical grasp, generating heat and energy from it, and using that energy to make her magic more powerful. She loved the reintegrate matter spell.

What it looked like to whatever pony was watching, was as follows. Sigma frowned and had her eyes firmly shut as her horn glowed similarly to a spotlight. The rubble she held in the air was quickly turning from stone, wood, metal, and glass, into ashes and dirt. The ponies who were originally trapped in the rubble were now laying in a small, empty crater, more-or-less unharmed. Finally, Cedar's vines were burnt to cinders, with little to nothing remaining from his original efforts to lift the small pebbles which were now burning in the sky.

Of course, all this magic didn't simply have no toll on Sigma. She nearly fainted from exhaustion midway through, but through her spell to destroy the rubble, she was able to recover her energy back. She deposited the remains of the rubble into a small pile next to the crater, and then started trotting away, ignoring everything around her. She knew it might've looked showy to the other ponies, so she decided to maybe tone it down a little on her next task. She had her gaze set on a smaller pile of rubble that represented a destroyed house.

As Sketch went to work planning and working to move rubble He Glanced and watched as Sigma and Cedar went to the nearby hotel, and though for the first moment he thought nothing of it. But When the entire remains of the hotel glowed with an orange aura, Sketch jumped and He rushed over to Sigma and Cedar's side. His horned glowed warmly. "Well well Your not so useless after all" He teased as he put his effort into the building allow Sigma to work on destructing the building bit by bit. Sketch was impressed to say the least, By the strength of both Unicorns, As one seem to have the caring magic over the growth of plants and the other finer grasp on matter itself. "Don't worry about atomizing the rubble, simply move it to the street, and Your not alone here..." Sigma, and Ceder both felt the tension of their magic lift slowly as their both were encased in different colored auras, from two other unicorns from behind. The aura invigorated them and gave them a small energy boost Each would give a grin as they closed their eyes focusing their magic to boost the others. Cedar's plants glowed and stopped burning completely, and Sigma's magic's heat cooled and became more stable as the ponies were floated down to waiting medic ponies.

Sketch took a deep breath as his horn stopped glowing, His eyes looked to Sigma, and then Cedar, before he half smiled. "Next time, ask for help, You never know what you have on hoof" Sketch returned to figuring out if the first building had been cleared, before moving to the next building and began to scan it with magic.

((Hey I'm gonna make something happen in the next post I make just sayin.))

((Perfectly fine as Long as You make it realistic ^^ I am curious now what you have in mind ^^))

Sketch glared with a cold stare as he walked slowly to Cedar, and Sigma Stepping up and stood a head taller than both of them. "I suggest You move to the hospital if you are Injured? If not You can either help us move rubble, help the others injured to the Hospital, Or Move to Canterlot by the road..." his expression flat as He stared at each with a commanding stare as more unicorns made their way inside the hole. "I will not suggest that You stand here and do nothing, You will anger more than one pony here if you remain." A passing Unicorn shot a glare to the pair and walked on to start lifting rubble for a neighboring building without a word. "Your both Unicorn I say You make the best of it and help out here, Manehatten surely needs it.." Sketch's expression sadden as he looked about the the current state of ruin. Before shooting his gaze at them again. "Make good use of your powers, whatever they maybe.." Sketch trotted away to start directing and helping move more rubble. A Pegasus flew over head again leading several limping or carried ponies to the hospital nearby. "We Need a Med Kit here Coalheart!" A coal black Unicorn with several pouched hanging to the side, with a big red cross across each dashed passed Sigma, and Cedar.

"Aye I hear ya Sketch!" An Irish accented unicorn yelled back as a pair of Pegasus with the same pouch followed Coalheart. A third pegasus landed in front of the pair and glanced them over.

"Either of you hurt? Yes or no?"

(( can i join ))

((You may, Find a place to come in and enjoy))

Sketch and two other trotted cautiously into the hole there exposed and with a magical glow searched inside. "Anypony alive down here..?" He called as the what remained of the ceiling crumbled gently as they walked on a weaken floor. A few weak neighs could be heard and the three started to carefully moved towards them. "Don't move, stay put, if you move too much It might collapse onto us all!" Sketch called back as spread out slowly testing each step before placing weight upon it. Each Eyes darting about search for a safe path to walk and to find the injured. "Hold on we are coming!"

Outside Several Unicorn each took turns Lifting rubble from the nearby buildings as the small group arrived near the edge of the city. More Pegasui flew over head and into the city as Cloudmaker took off see that he wasn't really need and ignored pretty much. "Rudeness of some ponies..." he grumbled and return his main duty to find other and lead them towards the hospital set up for them.

As the small groups loked down upon the hard working Unicorns and in an element that they weren't used too, Sketch and his companion emerged from the opening with a limp mare and a colt on his back HIs friend had a pony on each back as they stepped into the sunlight though a loud crack of stone and steel shatter across the air itself. THe far wall of what remained of the build slowly fell towards the gathered group of Digger and medics. In a panic the Unicorn and Pegasus ran away in fear of being crushed, But Sketch stood his ground and with a powerful neigh an aura surrounding the towering slab of stone and steel. his companions step up beside him adding to his aura. The injured were lift by the same aura that held the towering slab in place and Lay each in stretchers. "YOU THERE! Get these ponies out of the area and to the Hospital NOW! we can hold the slab!" He let out a command to the group that had moments before criticized the rescuers. As the tower itself began to crackle and crumble from the aura, making it smaller and smaller, some of the rubble started to be moved away with one unicorns aura. The bulk of the unicorns here weren't used to lifting more then a small animal or A small objects, Never thought the need to lift anything more. But these three unicorn could hold up and bottom half of an apartment building, Lifted four ponies to stretchers nearby, start breaking the remains of the building, and moving them away from the group.

(Sorry for the long wait, I didn't think I get this many post so quickly ^^)

Sketch was giving orders to begin there search of the ruin city, a makeshift hospital was being set up on the outskirts of town leading towards Canterlot. A white flag with a red cross flapped above the multiple tented area, showing that this was the place to come for aid. Sketch and his Shields were ready to help But without clear order in to do so It would do more harm than good. "Begin with spoting out Survivers on the street and start leading them here, The first responders will help those in immediate need or can fly them here. The Unicorn will move there the city Street by Street, but If You find survivors trapped, mark the building by magical Flare, and radio in where the building is. We have alot of space to cover and Not alot of time my brothers and sister. Fly fast and Make sure you miss nothing" Sketch waved them off and sighed Looking to Unicorn called in to help, Many having never thinking this could ever happen. "Alright Everyone, this is going to be tough, but We are going to go to each building begin removing rubble if life is found there, If we find nothing we move onto the next building...." Sketch Spoke grimly, knowing that In many so many life were gone. "Remember to take breaks in your lifting, and don't over exhaust yourself, we need as many unicorns moving rubble out of the way as possible for as long as we can, the quicker we move that rubble the faster we can save lives..."

Sketch Looked out onto the ruin city as Injuried ponies started to appears on the roads moving towards the tent hospital. He tried to put on a smile but nothing moved on his lips and He spoke with a heavy heart. "Move out!" The pegasus were in the air searching, and The unicorn moved to the first building with Sketch.Each Lowered their heads and a large slab of Flooring glowed with them as Sketched called out. "Alright One! Two....THREE!" and with a might pull of telekinesis the Slab lifted slowly and cracked and crumbled under its own weight but the magic held firm and exposed a small chamber of a surviving floor of the building. The slab was set aside and released with a thunderous thud to the now stable ground.

The Pegasui Flew about watching the ground of other ponies injuriecd and wondering the ruin streets. "ANYPONY THERE!!!" they would call out as they flew low in the now quiet street of Manehatten. Cloudmaker watched as he flew over a small group of ponies near the Hospital, Slowly he dove and landed with a alert and worried stare at the falling pony he now notices was alright. "Is everypony alright?" Cloud Maker asked as He eyed each with a quick medical glance, eyeing wounds and fluttering his wings to keep them ready for flight. "I'm Couldmaker First Responder of the Shielding Hooves, I'm here to help..."

Manehatten, A populated city of equestria, a major hub for travel, and A popular city to visit. But today would change things thats no pony ever saw coming.

Several ponies of varing ages walked the streets in the early afternoon as the sun gently rose above the skyscrapers. just a normal day for Manehattenites but something shook the ground gently stopping many in the track frighten by the sudden shake. But it didn't stop there and the ground shook violently, Though Magic held the building together it soon was overwhelmed by the forces that shook and split the ground open as screams and neighs of fright echoed across the city. And then the towers of steel magic, and stone dropped from view as Travel come closer watch in fright as the city's towering building started to drop and fall. The earth shook for a long hour before the ground settled again. Though as a whole Equestria did not feel this quake Those who witness the event were confused, shocked, and scared.

Soon after the event Equestria REA was mobilized, and any and all ponies able too were called to help.

"To any able, and willing, Manehatten is in serious need of help, Any Unicorn with ability to Lift objects heavier then themselves, Strong Earth ponys, and Pegasus with hawk like eyesight, must all report to Canterlot To help in the resuce and recovery of Manehatten. Any able ponies help will be accepted." The letter was sent to every town and home in Equesetria.

Sketch stood with his small group of Earth ponies, Pegasui, and Unicorns Clad in light leather armor. His group the Shielding Hooves were called upon to help with the Disaster in Manehatten. Waiting for the others to arrive as more and more able body ponies arrived to Canterlot, and to the main courtyard.

(My character Sketch Knight)

(His Armor, Shield, Sword, and Helmet design.

Will that help?

Shining Armor and his troops entered Pony. there area was calm and peaceful, like there was no destruption what so ever. several of the residence stared at the troops. some retreated into there homes. Armor looked around. " Troops stop. " he said then the battalion stopped.

Sketch slowly looked about as of the several other ponies went inside upon the site of the armored royalguard, expecting daner to be not far behind. But things were quite and still, Nothing Shining armor had thought would have been the scene. "Seem we arrived early for the party, old friend" His grip on his sword faded as he motioned for the pegasus upwards to get a birds eyes view of the town."I never thought "He" would return..." Sketch thought to himself as He stepped into the town slowly and cautiously. The unicorn Knight had recovered from the mass teleportation spell and slowly followed Sketch as did his Knights. "Go to your sister, Shining armor, I will fan out and secure the town. We can meet up at the town hall after You know your sister is safe."

I await your command My princess ^_~ *bows*

I would love a Profile pic from ya if Your offering ^^ what would you need for such? ^^

" No, I'm not going to leave a fellow soldier behind nor a friend " shining armor said then he put Sketch on his back.

The Other Royal Guards that followed Shining armor did the same as the unicorn simply blinked in a proud smile. "Then Onwards my friend we have a town to save from harm, and You your sister." Sketch gently Looked forwards and rest on shining armors back for a while. When He was rested and as did the other unicorn dismounted and started to gallop along side them. Before long they were at the city edge

Shining went to the side of Sketch " are you alright " he asked

Sketch stood again slowly and nodded his head and took deep breaths. "I will be Friend GO to your Sister, Take command We will catch up In a bit, once we rest for a few minutes." Sketch tried to stand BUt in his weaken state he couldn't at this moment.

Upon the gather of varies of Ponies Earth, unicorn and Pegasui, each armored and ready for combat. Sketch step in front and looked to shining Armor. "Please Captain Keep the image of Ponyville in your mind as we Do this It will take a lot for this trip." Sketch Gently spread his stance and lower his head. His horned glowed as did the other unicorns that surrounded the group. "By their Name, allow us passage through the streams of magic and all that exist!" Everyone started to lifted into the air as Sketch started to have sparks dance about his body as did the other unicorns helping with the spell. Each of the Unicorn that lifted with them repeated the spell aloud, and as each open their eyes again they flash with a white burning aura. And in a thunderous snap they vanished from the courtyard, And appeared Just outside ponyville as the area heard a rumbling of, earth shaking, thunder. As the group had the earth under them again, Sketch collapse panting as it was a great magical strain on him to transport so many so far, as did the other unicorns. Each panting heavy as the other stretched and checked themselves for anything misplaced.

" the North west border, sir," the soldier said then he coughed horribly. " he was headed south, but not to canterlot "

" what?! Where............oh my Celestia! " Shining Armor said in shock " Sketch, send your troops to Ponyville immediately. "

*Yes Sir!" Sketch galloped out of the room as a couple of medical ponies rushed past him to the command room to aid the injured solider. His thoughts raced about his current mission. "Ponyville? Why there?" He thoughted to himself. "The only thing of interested was.." He stop himself mid thought as it dawn to him, and with a snapping crackle of magic snapped away to the barracks.

With a startle A few royal guards and Knight jumped from the sudden appearance of Sketch. "Knights, We move out within the hour!" THe Knights noded quietly and Moved to gather their things and meet outside. "We Gather in the court yard, and then move out to Ponyville!"

" some outsider wearing a hooded cloak attacked us, im the only one that made it" the soldier said trembling in fear " those eyes, those evil red eyes " he said

shining armor looked at the scared soldier with shock " then he's here then " he said, then he looked at Sketch Knight " you want to know who ' Him' is? his is the princess's ex-adviser, and he's returned with vengeance.

Sketch Expression turned grim and then of anger, knowing who "he" was. He slipped his helmet over his head again. "Where were you attacked Solider?" A parchment Slipped out of his pouch and a quill prepared to write down the info.

Shining Armor looked at Sketch Knight " Excellent, i need a groups of your best knights to defend the northern border" he order " we need to prepare for 'his' return, and ready to retaliate at the opportunity when given. the fate of Equestria is in their hands"

then a guard, looking like he has been threw war, came rushing in." Captain! Captain! " she shouted

" what the ?" Shining said looking at the battle scarred soldier

Sketch nodded holding his helmet in his arm as He opened his maw to ask. "Who's "Him"?" The Door Burst open making SKetch Jump in fright as He landed he turn and Blinked to the battled scar guard pony, his armor tatter and barely holding onto his form.

"Well don't just leave us on the edge here, report solider?" Sketch Commanded for Shining Armor, as he turned to face the new arrival.

Sketch Knight stepped through the Captain's Of the royal guard command room, clad in his armor of steel and leather. Both the sun and the moon etched into his chest plate. His Shield and sword hung over his back. When he came to the command map of equestria he snapped a Salute to Shining Armor. "Sketch Knight reporting as order, sir, My knights stand ready to defend at a moments notice sir!" Sketch lifted his helmet off his head revealing his dirty blonde mane and smiled see an old friend again. Several Royal guards and other ponies moved about talking to each other and passing reports about.
