The Elites
Returning to the past
Lightning told Night and Skyangle of the situation with Serene, Skyangle was horrified of her son's disappearance and Night felt horrible for sending his son to his fate. Lightning, Night and Skyangle keep Serene and Emerald's captured a secret. Lightning, Snow and her generals negotiated on their next moved, Night walk around his office with the guilt going through his mind.
"I'm a terrible father" said Night while he walk around his office "Why the hell did I send him!"
"Night" Night turned around and saw Skyangle entered his office
"Skyangle what are you doing here?" ask Night
"Why did you send our son on that mission?!" ask Skyangle with her tired expression
"Skyangle, you know how he is! He doesn't listen to me, he doesn't listen to my mistakes" said Night as he stare at the kingdom's flag, hanging from his wall.
"He would have giving in eventually" said Skyangle with a slight angry tone
"I'm sorry" said Night as he walk towards the flag
"Lightning and the other haven't decided what to do yet" said Skyangle as she stomp her hoof in frustration
"There no need to wait for them" said Night as he pulled down the flag off the wall, revealing the secret door of his old past.
"Night!" Skyangle stared at Night with shock as she knew what he was thinking
"I'm the one who send, Serene to this!" said Night as he took out his key from his armour
"Night don't! Your not has young has before!" said Skyangle as she rushed towards him
"I know" said Night as he opened the door, Night stared at his elite's armour "I swore that I would never put this armour again"
"Night please don't go! You could get killed!" said Skyangle as she held him by the hoof "Just let Captain Archmed go!"
"No! These ponies need to know!" Night took off his helmet and places it onto the ground, He removed his armour which fall hard onto the ground. Night removed the armour from the manikin and places it onto his body, he did a few adjustments and tighten the armour firm to his body.
"Please Night! I can't handle losing you both!" said Skyangle as she watch Night take his old helmet
"Skyangle! I'm going to show the true power of Nightwing!" said Night as he place his helmet onto his head, a shadow fell onto his eyes with only his eyes colours showing. Night stared at Skyangle with his past returning, Skyangle back away slightly as she could fell the negative energy. The same old negative energy she felt when Night performed his dark missions of a horrible past.
"Night I want to come with you" said Skyangle
"No! Stay here!" said Night with a slightly deeper voice
"It's like you never left" said Skyangle with a worried stare
"It's not for long, I promise" said Night as he smiled at her
"What am I suppose to tell everypony?!" ask Skyangle while she watch him walk towards the door
"I don't know" said Night as he kissed her on the cheek "I love you"
"I love you too, Night" said Skyangle as she held him in her embrace "Night! I don't want to put my son and husband into the ground"
"The only thing you're going to put in the ground is your flowers" said Night as he parted from her
Meanwhile in the crystal north's cave, Serene and Emerald were held onto the walls by magical chains with their wings were tied close to their bodies.
"Don't tell them anything" whispered Emerald
"Why are you telling me that?! I know!" said Serene with an annoyed tone
"Just making sure" said Emerald
"The royal guards and their incredible loyalty" Serene and Emerald lifted their hands and we're able to see their enemy better. A dark green coated unicorn, stallion, with navy blue eyes, white and dark green mane and flames has a cutie mark.
"What did you do with the scroll!" ask Serene
"Nothing for now" said the stallion
"What the hell do you want with us?!" ask Emerald
"Information" said the stallion
"Well if you know so much about us then you should already know, that we will never tell you anything" said Emerald as she smirk at him
"Shut up!" shouted the stallion as he slap her hard across the face
"LET US GO!" shouted Serene
The strange stallion rip off Serene's helmet and threw it across the cave
"Think you're so tuff?! Just because you're in the royal guard? Or maybe that daddy is one of the most famous royal guard? Whose name is feared by his enemies!" said the strange pony while he punched Serene in the stomach. Serene started to cough from the pain, the strange stallion smiled and bought his helmet back "How old are you? Twenty something?"
"What of it?!" ask Serene
"Hum...didn't your daddy become captain of the royal guards at that age? And you're what? A low ranking private?!" ask the strange pony as he crushed the helmet with his magic.
Serene lowered his head and just stared at the floor, the strange pony just smiled and left. Emerald stared at Serene and could easily guess what he is going through, Emerald turned her head and face him with a smile.
"Don't listen to him" said Emerald
"He's right...at...at my age my father was already a captain" said Serene
"Yes he was but that's your father and you are you" said Emerald
Serene lifted his head and stared at Emerald
"Your father had his moments of glory and now it's your turn to have yours" said Emerald as she smiled at him "Don't stay behind your father's shadow, break away from it and make your own destiny not the one of your father's"
"Emerald...I...Uh...thank you" said Serene as he smiled at her
"You know Serene, you're not the only one who lived behind a shadow of somepony else" said Emerald as she stared at the cave's ceiling
"You too!" Said Serene
"My mother" said Emerald as she glance at him, Emerald smiled disappeared from her face "She was a nurse for the royal guards and saved so many lives. Everypony loved her, Princess Celestia gave her so much praise and even an award. I wanted to be just like her when I was a filly, I study most of my foalhood inn medical studies but I couldn't...!"
"Couldn't lived up to other ponies expectations?" ask Serene as he smiled at her, Emerald stared at Serene with a surprise look "Your the son or daughter of somepony great! And of course everypony else expects you to do the same"
"Yeah" said Emerald as she smiled at him "I knew I wouldn't be able to...so I left and joined the royal guards. And look what I was able to accomplish! I was able to join the royal guards where everypony fought I wouldn't be able too, I became the first mare to join the elites!"
"Well, you're a strong and the most skillful pony I've her met" said Serene as he blush slightly
"Thanks" said Emerald as she look away from Serene
"Look at this bonding!" Serene and Emerald look back up and saw the strange pony appear in front of them.
"Do whatever you want, we're not telling you a thing!" said Serene as he gave him a dirty look
A blizzard took over the crystal north, snow blowing into your eyes, the strong wind and the cold cutting through your skin. Two unicorns stood guard in front of the entrance, unable to see their own hooves through the snow and wind.
"Can't see a thing!" shouted the first unicorn
"We don't even need to guard the cave! Can't see a thing" shouted the second
Night arrived at the entrance of the cave and saw two guards near the entrance, Night slowly walk towards the cave while his gray coat, with the hood covering his helmet, and its ends rip, waving elegantly with the wind.
"Elite!" shouted a unicorn
"He's only one!" shouted the second unicorn while he lit his horn
"Disappear" said Night as he removed his coat
"It...Its...It's...!" the first unicorn stood in complete fear
"NIGHTWING!" shouted the second unicorn
"Disappear!" shouted Night as he changed at them
A bloody howl filled the inside of the cave, alerting the others of the new guest that arrived. Night walk in the cave and stared at the many ponies surrounding him.
"He's only one!" shouted one of them
"It's Nightwing! It's not a normal pony!" shouted a second one
"Disappear" mumbled Night as he opened his wings
One of the guards managed to escape and rush to alert his master
"Cursed! There an intruder!" shouted a Pegasus stallion
"Then get rid of him!" shouted Cursed while he glance at him
"Its Nightwing!" shouted the pegasusi
Cursed face light up with joy and started to laugh
"D...Dad" Serene stared at Cursed
"Let's see how good daddy really is" said Cursed as he gently slap Serene across the face
"YOU COULD NEVER DEFEAT HIM!" shouted Emerald as she struggled against her chains
"We'll see" said Cursed as he teleported away
