Radz just rolled "adorable little bunch, I'm sure the gate is lovely. I didn't want to make a big scene or anything. I already got such a warm welcome from your...minions. So my decision to just teleport here was right. I heard you are going to war but is it going to be side by side with the Empire? It will be the only way to win against such a force. I have no doubt in these brutes' skills it's just they are a little, how you say, eager. So instead of using them for a petty attempt of threatening me, how about you calm their nerves a little. There is a pretty large convoy heading towards the crystal empire where Silent stays at the moment. So to let off some steam, send them there." She said crosses her arms.

"Bold words coming from a self proclaimed protecter of the world, did you just wake up thinking you were all high ang mighty? Sorry to bring you down from your pedestal sweetheart but there this thing called common curtesy, learn it." Shadow said more harshly.

"Isn't that how you started? Wake up and poof, you were gifted with Nightmare Moon's blessing of immortality. So please spare me. I never said I was the protector of the world, if it was my job to protect the entire world then this war would have ended within a day and your beloved, who I told you to save, wouldn't have been attacked. My purpose is to merely guide. I choose this path because if I solved everything, pony kind will learn to depend on me...I'm not a super hero, whoever said that I was the world's protector is a fool." Radz said smirking at Shadow "I never said I was above anyone either, in power I am, but I'm just like anyone else, sure this power has its benefits but those benefits lead to temptation. Anyway enough about me. Right back to what you said, you know d@mn well that if I used "common courtesy" the guard at the front gate would've tried to arrest me and blah blah and I'd be standing here anyway under worse conditions. So please...enough lectures. Now back to my first question...will your forces be fighting side by side? Vampireece and the Empire are going to have to combine forces if you two have even have a chance."

Shadow face hoofed himself, "We already said we'd ally with the Equestrians forces, seriously open your ears and listen for once." He sighed tired of this annoying argument, "Shade, prepare my armor then get yourself ready, U want the army ready as soon as comfortably possible." He then leaned in close to him and whispered something in the ancient tongue before Shade nodded and teleported away.

Blood exited the room to join the others. He caught a glimpse of Mapleshade walking away with the others. He sighed to himself.

Kane was silent for a long moment after Arial entered the room. "We have both endured, and neither of us have time to mourn. I have to run a kingdom and you have to run the Order." He sighed. "It's not easy for us."

"I asked because your little group seemed very reluctant to join an alliance so I want to make sure that you and the Empire will get along. I know you batponies don't really like anyone whose not...well batponies. I'm listening carefully, you are just not answering my question." Radz said "now if your done being an insufferable ass. You need to make sure your forces will be tolerate with their Canterlot neighbors and of course the same needs to be done in the Empire."

Shadow stepped up to Radz their gazes meeting like an explosion, "You worry about playing Miss Almighty Protector, and I'll worry about my team and soldiers." He walked passed her to the exit stopping once more, "And keep your cursed sights off my Kingdom, you are in now way responsible for my families safety, use it again and I'll kill you." He said over shoulder before walking off leaving her alone in the room. Two batpony guards came in ready to escort her out of the city, "We're here to escort you out Ma'm, please follow us."

"I always love a good threat, but I'm sorry Shadow, I have to watch over everyone, even the ones who don't want it." Radz thought to herself before looking at the two guards and smiled "no need to escort me, I can see myself out." She said as her horn lit up and she teleported away and appeared at Canterlot. She sighed "I want tea..."

Ally walked through the halls glancing around worriedly, as she rounded a corner all her body movements froze up, a pair of familiar dark blue eyes looked at her. "Oh excuse me Ma'm, I didnt mean to startle you, my name is O-"

"Oakly..." Ally cut him off, her eyes started to tear up, Oakly looked at her confused. Ally started to back up but Echo came up behind her, "Ally, its time, he needs to know the truth." She said subtly. Oakly raised an eye brow in confusion, "Tell me what?"

 

Shadow stood still as Shade began putting on his armor, with each piece of armor added on a dark aura started to form latching onto Shadow fitting him perfectly, at last Shade put the helmet on him but it dispersed into a black cloud and was sucked into the back of his neck. Finally Shade took Shadowfang and held it out for Shadow to grab, Shadow took the sword and placed it in its scabbard at his side.

((Yo Trax, Kane and Arial are still talking. My fault for not answering right off.))

Several large battalions of bat ponies were marching towards the gates fully armored, awaiting orders to move out. Blood joined the rest of the Order once he was finished putting his armor on.

((Its good))

"We do what we must to protect those we care about." Arial spoke looking with a smile.

Ally soon joined them but with company, Oakly was dressed up in his personal armor. "Well laddy, exactly where do ya think ye be goin' eh?" Ragnorak asked raising an eyebrow. Oakly stood tall with determination, "To protect Canterlot as my Father before me, and to fight for Vampireece like my mother beside me." He answered bravely. The Order members glanced at each other in confusion, Ally sighed, "He is my son, and Trax is his father, please no further questions." She said begged with glare of warning. Caesar cocked his head to the side, "Im an Uncle?"

Mapleshade appeared at Bloods side brushing up against him, "So handsome, who you planning on fighting beside?"

Shadow and Shade arrived at the gates meeting the two Generals of the armies, after some words they departed and the gates opened with the army begining to march as one unit.

Kane was silent and kept watching the distance. "I must be weak, I can't cope with such loss the way you have."

Blood blushed but still smirked. "I don't know, the position hasn't been filled yet. Do you think you're up for the task?"

Kane stared at nothing, seeming to zone out. "Someone else could have been king...I didn't need to live."

"Good." Blood said, kissing Mapleshade's hoof and winking at her before walking off. He wasn't the only one who could tease.

Suddenly the loud smack filled the room as Arial slapped Kane across the face, "Do not speak ill of yourself Kane, you are King for a reason, and chosen wisely by great Ponies. If you're father could hear you say that, what would he say? My Best Friends did not sacrifice their lives so you could wallow in self pity!" She yelled feriously.

Mapleshade felt a shock run up her spine as she froze up red in the cheeks, Rowan and Ragnorak snickered playfully a little ways away but held eachother in fear as Mapleshade flared in embarrassed anger at them.

Oakly stayed close to Allys side as they marched on, Shadow glanced back at them with a smile, as he looked back to the front he changed his expression to one of pure determination. Caesar flew ahead scouting out the path.

Echo stood with Dawn and White on the wall watching the army move out, they waved and cheered along with the rest of the city.

Kane got up and glared at her right in the eyes. "In all these years of death and pain I've endured, all the years I've carried this kingdom on my back, and I finally get one of the few chances to mourn, and you have the nerve to say I'm 'wallowing in self pity?' My bucking son died that day, and you accuse me of ignoring his sacrifice?" He said, getting angry.

Blood landed near Shadow. "Think we'll run into the horde before we even get there?"

"For their sake, I hope not." Shadow replied simply.

"Listen Kane, their all gone, and theres no way to bring them back. The only thing we can do now is get up, and keep moving forward. Move towards a better future, the future they died for so we could see it through." Arial started to tear up, "We will always carry them in our hearts, truth is they never left us in the first place, because they will always be right here." She said holding a hoof over her own heart. A ghostly image of Storm all grown up appeared beside her, then Black, Soul, Killjoy, and Trax. One by one they appeared around them only visable to Him. "Come on Dad, you got four good legs to stand on, get up and use them. Keep moving forward, just like you always said." Storms voice echoed in Kanes mind as they started to fade away, "From the Ashes like a blazing Phoenix..." Trax said before he faded away.

The image of Soul knelt down and put a hoof under Kane's chin, lifting his face up. "My son, the day you were born, the forest of Equestrian whispered your name. The mountains moved and the tide rose. The world knew that day that a king was born. You are not alone, and you will not fail. You have the strength to finally end war in Equestria once and for all. You have the power to bring peace. You were chosen by the gods to deliver your people." Kane reared up as he looked into his father eyes. "I will not fail you, father." Soul smiled. "You never have." He then faded with the others.

"Kane? Lord Lane are you alright?" Arials voice inturrupted his thoughts, her worried expression was confused at why he was talking to somepony that obviously wasnt her.
