Sugar Skull Journal

I see the ruckus around the reserve guards, most new to the job, trying to decide how to go up to Canterlot and help the efforts against the Changelings. I put them in their place.

"Nopony will go up! Stay here! Nopony will go up!"

"C-captain Sugar Skull."

"The hay, you mess things up and we're the ones who have to clean it."

My squad start to climb. There aren't many of us. The ground troop is made of me, my deputy Lemon Grass and other eight earth ponies and unicorns. As aerial backup we have three bat-pegasi and two Shadowbolts. We don't need more. We're the Night Guard. We have our mission. And as our motto goes, a given mission is an accomplished mission. No matter what.

And the less-than-nice folks around know that. Most guards wear shine, golden armors. We, buddy, we wear black.

As we reached Canterlot main plateau, we gave up our stealth ways and make our presence known. In less than one minute, eight changelings learned the meaning of tough love. I mean, the others who escaped our crossbows learned the lesson. The ones we got will not learn anything ever again. But we set some citizens and members of the guard free, and that`s what matter.

As we reload, I quickly notice our priority was a group of very important mares. Making our way through the invading army, we carefully circled the changelings targeting the six young ladies.

Then it happened. Lemon Grass did what I taught him to do. He did protect the Elements of Harmony. The problem, buddy, is the enchantment we put on our crossbow arrows. When it enters, makes a tiny hole. But goes out the other side the size of a Zapapple. Celestia's protégé was now covered in blood and brains of changeling. That will not bode well, but was enough to make the remaining bug-critters to scat. I will deal with political consequences later.

"Are you ladies injured?"

They shook their heads

"Are you physically hurt?"

Another negative. I pointed to a Shadowbolt.

"Right. Please follow Descent here down to a safe place…"

Twilight Sparkle, trying to clean the mess out of her face, stepped out.

"We can't. We must get to the elements and avoid a carnage."

I tried to make her see the truth:

"The carnage is already happen-"

"Yes, yes, it's already happening, and only we can stop it from spreading. So, captain or whatever your rank is, please step aside."

I sighed. "Lemon Grass, please give Miss Sparkle your armor… the hay?"

The six mares were already galloping, full throttle, to a building nearby. "Descent, you and the other pegasi try and protect Miss Hero-of-the-day there. The others, follow me. Let's check the princess."

Yes, Sugar Skull is Captain Nascimento of Tropa de Elite/Elite Squad
