AN: Hello people of the Internet. My name is Gabiola652... I haven't said that in over a month now... 'Sigh'... anyway, today, I'm here to present to you all: Six: The Other Side.

Based on GoldTheFox's story Six, I bring some random chapters that go deeper into the story. The only reason why this isn't in the original story is because my OC's (Gabolia and Essefarion) are involved.

Disclaimer: I do not own the original story, I do not own STH, nor do I own MLP:FIM. The only thing I own is Gabolia and Essefarion. (Haha, can't sue me now Gold, can ya?)

P.S. Approved by GoldTheFox. Proofread by GoldTheFox. Written by me.

P.P.S Once this thing is posted, the next chapter of Loss of a Friend: Taken will be posted as well. For more backstory on my OC's, go check my profile for Essefarion and Loss of a Friend: Taken for Gabolia. Or wait until I write the one-shot. (That might take a while though)

ENOUGH SHENANIGANS!

Six: The Other Side

Chapter 1: Negotiations

§§§§§

(Gabolia's POV)

I walk, into the once lively town. Citizens no longer roam these streets of cobblestone, gravel, and dirt. It feels abandoned. It feels hopeless. And as I walk these streets I realize how bad the situation really is.

I see it now, the castle. Guards are everywhere, some on the steps, others behind lookout windows. Some were even on the roof. Ever since the invasion has begun, they have apparently just been there, looking out, making sure their dear rulers and their people see the light of day once more. They were determined; I'll give them that.

My cloak was dancing in the cold wind, making me look like a moving shadow in the midst of midnight. I only came here to help, in their time of need. I can only hope, they'll swallow their pride and accept my help. I don't want to be seen as a secondary threat during this time of insanity.

I move ever so closely towards the steps, I'm attempting not to be stealthy, yet look like it. (Trying to look like he's trying to be stealth yet not being stealthy at all.) I guess I was doing my job correctly. I heard one of the guards howling a command at me. Sadly though I didn't comprehend what he told me. Out of reaction, I stopped and stood completely still.

The pegasus guard followed by four others (2 earth ponies and 2 pegasi.) started trotting towards me. I looked up a bit, to meet the daggers these guards had within their eyes. This made me smile, for once Celestia has done something right, it only took her a couple of millenniums.

They surrounded me and the guard that had originally yelled at me stood in front of me. He made himself look bigger than he actually was. Normally a good tactic to scare someone, but these stallions didn't phase me. They were just guards, Equestrian guards, just like the other few hundred that were within the structure I was going for. All. The. Same.

The guard moved forward and was only a couple of meters from my face. "What business do you have here, pegasus?" he asked me in a… strangely familiar voice.

"I wish to speak with the princess of the sun." I answer in total calmness. The guard stood still for a few moments before laughing a little. The two guards behind me were trying to suppress giggles; they sadly failed.

I kept looking at the guard before me in a monotone calmness. Once he realized I wasn't here to joke around he looked at me with a perplexed look, which in turn returned back to the stern 'I am unbreakable' look.

He repeated his question. I had enough of this, I lost enough time already. I lifted the hood off my head to reveal myself. I heard gasps as I answered once more. "I, wish to speak, with Celestia." Then I smiled. "Please." I added.

I felt both guards behind me backing up a bit, those to my sides -who haven't done a thing but breath until now- also backed up some. The guard that stood in front of me seemed to hesitate as he chose his next words to say. Although he didn't say anything for a while, I really wanted to get going and get this over with.

"I see Celestia has upgraded security since I've last been here. That is why I'm here. I wish to speak to her about Equestria's little…um… predicament. I want to help. I know, it might sound like I'm trying to get you while you're already downed, but that isn't my style. And even if I do attempt that, I have to take care of that robot guy dude." I closed my eyes before quickly going on. "The country I rule at this moment is hard enough to sustain, I wouldn't imagine being able to control cities three times the size as Drafiston."

The guards around me looked like they just found the best thing in the realm, but as I kept on looking on, it was as if they didn't take my word for it. I was at my breaking point; I really need to see the bitch that runs this place, and fast.

"The only way for me to help you guys would start with me meeting Celestia so we could talk this out." The guards looked at each other, wondering what to do. Apparently they really have had it bad in the past week and all I was doing was trying to give them a very much-needed break. Whether it is to see the family or just to rest, they needed it, all of them.

They conversed between each other for a few short minutes before the four extra guards trotted back up the stairs and back to their original posts. The guard that was left slowly came up to me.

"We agreed that you would be allowed to speak to the princess, as long as you were supervised by at least two elites. We all agreed that we need as much help as we can get and this chance was too much to just let go. Even with your… complex history with Equestria, we will allow you to help if that really is your intention. Now if you would, follow me." He turned around and started to walk up the steps. I quickly followed, putting my hood back on. He walked up to a unicorn guard sitting on his rump, doing nothing, but looking in front. The pegasus got the unicorn out of its trance and spoke with it for a bit before the unicorn teleported away.

"Corporal Phase Delta is awakening the princess now, when he comes back we will continue our way." The pegasus said as he stayed in place. Occupying Corporal Phase Delta's position. (Phase Delta is a war tactic used by the USA in WWII for those who don't know)

Phase came back three or so minutes later, saying she was awake and that she was awaiting her visitors' arrival. That's all I needed to hear to continue on climbing up the castle steps. I was almost at the top when I stopped so that the pegasus guard could catch up. Once he did, I proceeded to walk the rest of the way up.

I was greeted with three elite guards just before the front entrance door. One of each type of pony (Except alicorn) to be exact. The earth pony was on my left, the pegasus was on my right, and the unicorn was in front of me. The unicorn told me to step forward, I did so. The other two elites went behind me and they escorted me inside.

The doors opened to reveal the throne room. At the very end of the room was the throne itself. There were two seats. Two alicorns were sitting on these seats. The first was the princess of the night, Luna. Beside her, was her sister and ruler of Equestria, the princess of the sun, Celestia.

The unicorn guard bowed before the royals, so did the two other elites. Luna told them to go back towards the door and supervise me from afar. Once gone, two pairs of eyes fell upon me.

"Welcome guest of evening, why dost thou want to speak with us?" Luna asked me. She might be an important figure to Equestria, but its fate doesn't hinder on her choices or actions.

"I wish to speak with your sister privately, it's critical to save Equestria's fate." I explained trying to mask my voice. But the look she gave me told me I failed.

"I recognize thy voice, yet can not name it. Take off thy clothing off thy figure or I shall do it for thou." She practically shouted. Celestia looked a little stunned. I wasn't sure if it was because she figured out who I was or if she was just surprised of her sisters' antics.

"I only come here to help Equestria in its time of need. If it were to fall, who knows what would happen." I explained as I lifted my hood off my head once more. "I'd like to help you and everypony else. Please at least hear me out."

Celestia stood up immediately after seeing my face. The elites were ready to pounce upon me, and Luna just nodded slowly. Luna also got up, but she started walking towards me. Actually that's a lie, because she walked past me and into another part of the castle. I looked back in front of me, and I see Celestia trotting slowly towards me. She soon towered over me; I keep forgetting how small I am when on all fours.

"Why are you here? You have your own country to worry about. Don't you? You don't care about this place, yet when we get attacked you come and wake me during the small amount of hours I have to sleep. What do you want?" she asked me in a voice that sounded like she was angry, yet told me she was just really tired. Then again why wouldn't she be tired? She is being attacked and invaded.

"I came here because I want to help. You know very well that if the only support you have were to fail -which it is- so would the rest of Equestria. We both know that if you were to be killed, the only pony suitable to take you place would be Cadence or Twilight. We also both know, if you were to be killed, it would be by my hooves." She rolled her eyes as I was going on. "You know Luna can't be trusted with the control of Equestria. She became jealous because ponies wouldn't look at her astral mass in the sky. She would be overwhelmed by greed and grief if your life were to be lost and she took over. I'm here because I don't want that to happen. I want to get rid of this threat as quickly as possible."

She closed her eyes, her mind, soaking all of what I just explained. Slowly nodding, she turned around and started to walk about. "I understand your concern Gabolia, but I also know that you'd like something in return for your efforts." I nodded. "If I were to guess, for a job this big, you'd probably want to get even with Equestria financially." I nodded once more. "As you know Manehattan is no more. You also know many companies died that dreadful day."

"I also know that you lost 9% of the population that day." (The total Equestrian population according to Gold is 1.1 million. 1100000 ÷ 100000 (the # of citizens in Manehatten) = 9%) "Just with that I imagine you would have had an economic crisis. I can also imagine you have other issues at the moment that also concern Manehattan." I was just going on and on about all the facts that I knew. After a few minutes though, I stopped, took a breather, and let her get to the point of the entire conversation.

"I understand you want to help us a little, even though I'm sure we can get through this ourselves. I also understand if Equestria were to fall, Robotnik would come to you next. But even considering you're the most overpowered being this realm has ever met thus far; maybe this fight isn't for you, at least not now, at this point in time. I agree if we were to need backup, you'd be the first to get. But I also must agree, I'm not going to make such drastic measures with you and Drafiston just yet. As intriguing as your deal sounds, I have to politely decline your offer."

I closed my eyes and sat on my rump. I wanted Equestria to know I was on their side of this fight. But if I couldn't fight and help, how could the population know they weren't alone? After a few more moments of intense thinking, I got up, and trotted towards the front doors. The three elites moved out of the way as I opened the door. The moon was still high in the sky, but was progressively getting lower. Before the door was completely opened, I turned to look at Celestia once more.

"If ever you change your mind, the offer will be in the air, just like I will. Remember, Drafiston will always be there to help in your time of need. Goodnight, Celestia. May your dreams guide you." I turned around and leapt in the air, my wings carried me off the ground towards my home.

AN: AWWW YEA! It's done with, I have been working hard, and this is what that hard work brought. 2207 WORDS! (correct me if I'm wrong.) Well I'm pooped. But before I go, I'll explain my month long absence.

On August 21st, I was hit with a puck to my head. I was diagnosed with a concussion. I hurt all over and just could not concentrate on -not only writing- every single little thing. After I uploaded the chapter the day before school started, I sorta lost my interest in writing. In fact, I read over 200 chapters worth of stories in September (around 800,000+ words in total about.). I started writing this October 2nd and finished on the 4th. Which means I am out of this tiny writers block. I wished not to get another so soon. Especially after having over 6 months of it from January to June of 2015. So ya, I'm back.

(Celestia's POV)

I watched Gab as he departed into the night. I always liked that about him. He might have a weird way of doing things, but they were from the goodness of his heart and I was lucky the goodness of his heart hasn't killed me yet. I think I'm cheating death a little bit too much these past few years.

I started walking back to my chambers, but not before telling the three brave elites to get some rest. They earned it. As I was walking, when something got stuck under my hoof. I look down and find a piece of paper. Using my magic to get it off, I examine it. Something was written on it. I focused a little and read it aloud…

"Be on the lookout, because I'm sure I'll be back someday. But until then, as always… Greatness Awaits…" I smiled.
