The Elites

An elite mission

The next day, Serene went to his father's office and receive his elite mission. Serene knows that he is able to handle an elite mission, no matter what his father says.

"Serene are you ready to see, the Kingdom's secrets?" Ask Night while he entered his office

"I can handle anything" said Serene as he place his helmet onto his head

Night didn't say anything and just walk towards his desk

"Emerald please comes in!" Shouted Night as he sat down

The door opened and an elite, pegasus, royal guard entered the room, Serene couldn't tell their appearance much but he was able to make out, dark blue eyes, atomic tangerine, orange, a white tail and part of a cutie mark.

"Captain!" saluted Emerald

"A mare!" Serene approach Emerald and got a closer look

"You have a problem with mares?!" demanded Emerald as she grab Serene's helmet

"Uh...n...no of course not!" hesitated Serene as he nervously smiled at her

"Then what's your problem?!" ask Emerald as she pulled on his helmet even harder

"It...its...it's just...I didn't expect a mare in the Elites" said Serene while he tried to free himself but only saw how strong she was

"Is that so!" shouted Emerald as she pulled Serene's helmet off and threw it across the room, Emerald quickly grab Serene's mane and pulled it

"OACH! HEY LET GO!" shouted Serene as he tried to push her away with his hooves

"Emerald! That's enough!" shouted Night as he stood up from his chair

"Of course, captain" said Emerald as she finally let go of Serene

"Dam! What the hell was that for!" said Serene while he rub his mane

"Serene! Enough!" shouted Night

Serene sighed in annoyance and went to retrieve his helmet

"Emerald, thank you for coming and accepting this special mission" said Night

"It's my pleasure, sir" said Emerald as she bowed "Captain if I may? But it's an honor to meet the great Nightwing! Your adventures with the elites and the normal royal guards, are told every time when we go on missions"

"Thank you" said Night

"Sir is it true that you were suggested has captain for the Elites?" ask Emerald as she rise from the ground

"Indeed it's true but I left before it was official" said Night

"Why? There are rumours in the Elites, that you no longer had the guts" said Emerald

"The truth behind my departure was because I wanted to be there for my family, I wanted to be there for my family and not in the ground" explain Night as he smiled at his son

"I see" Emerald glance at Serene

"Now! The mission will be to retrieve a stolen scroll which was stolen about two days ago. The royal guards who escorted the scroll, tells that it was a group of ponies which are known to leave at the crystal north. The coldest place in all of Equestria and the most dangerous as well, many dangers awaits you and it won't be easy" said Night while he pulled down a map and continued to explain the mission "You cannot fail this mission! That scroll has very important information about the kingdom and Canterlot! You cannot let it fall into the wrong hooves with information like that! Who knows what they could do!"

"Do not worry, sir!" said Emerald as she place her hoof onto her chest "I swear, I'll bring that scroll back no matter what!"

"Serene now that you've heard about the mission, do you still wish to continue?" ask Night with a slight worried tone

"I do!" said Serene with a firm tone

"Alright" said Night as he turned his back on him "Be safe and come back"

"Yes sir!" shouted Emerald and Serene

"Go and get ready, Serene" said Emerald

"Right" Serene place his helmet on his head and walk out of the office

"If that's all sir, then I'll be going" said Emerald as she saluted him

"Emerald wait!" said Night as he face her

"Sir?" ask Emerald

"I want you to assign three elites, they will follow both of you from the shadows and will only intervene when it becomes too dangerous" said Night

"Sir, three or even two elites will be enough for this mission" said Emerald while she watch Night walk across his office "He's not even an elite royal guard, he's from the normal royal guards"

"I know but he won't listen to me, Serene will understand once he experiences it himself" explain Night as he pick up a photo with his son and daughter "He's stubborn and he won't listen easily"

"I understand! Don't worry I'll bring him back" said Emerald as she smiled at him

"Thank you, Emerald" said Night as he place his hoof onto her shoulders "If there anything you need just ask"

"Thank you, sir" said Emerald as she returned his smile

Emerald left Night's office and headed to the elite's headquarters; Emerald entered the training area and saw two elites.

"Rook! Knight!" shouted Emerald while she approach two white coated, pegasus, stallions

"Emerald! What did captain Nightwing needed with you?" ask Rook

Emerald told about her mission and her new partner, the real reason Night left and the roles which Rook and Knight would have to play.

"That so stupid!" said Knight as he look at Rook in disgust

"The great Nightwing left because his wife was pregnant?!" ask Rook

"Yea! He wanted to be there for his family" said Emerald as she removed her helmet to reveal her white mane

"This is so annoying! Captain Archmed didn't say anything about this?!" ask Rook

"Captain Archmed is the one who gave captain Nightwing the mission, suggested me and approved it" explain Emerald while she moved her hoof through her mane

"Huh! It would have been different if Captain Archmed and Captain Nightwing weren't good friends!" said Knight as he punched the floor

"Fine! We will follow you during your mission but this mission of yours will never be heard by the others!" said Rook while he Knight gave a nod in agreement

"Are you joking?! Like I want the others to know that a normal royal guard is helping me! It would ruin me forever!" said Emerald as place her helmet back onto her head

"See you later then" said Rook

"We can't do anything to stop this….so….see you later, Emerald" said Knight as he smirk at her

"Guys don't worry! I'll show him what makes an elite, Cloud Kingdom's elite royal guard" said Emerald as she grinned at them

Rook and Knight just smiled at each other until Rook started to laugh

"You show him, Emerald!" said Rook while he continued to chuckle
