Shooting Star: The Warrior Pegasus

Disclaimer: I don't own MLP: FIM or Redwall. I do own Shooting Star

Prologue

In Canterlot a White Alicorn with an aurora like mane was waiting for her guests to arrive. Alongside her was a blue Alicorn a bit shorter than she was and she had dark blue mane and tail. The two Alicorns were Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. They were sitting underneath a tapestry of a Pegasus decked in gray armor, wielding two mounted hoof blades and a bow and arrow on his back. Underneath his armor he was shown to be a black Pegasus pony whose mane and tail was white almost acting like a badger's stripes. He had blue eyes. Princess Celestia turned to Princess Luna whom looked at the tapestry excited "I see you are excited about this announcement Luna."

The younger Equestrian Princess smiled eagerly as she remembered this Pegasus. She wasn't about to spoil the details just yet. Almost immediately the doors opened and two more alicorns arrived one was a pink alicorn while the other was a purple one. Alongside the pink Alicorn was a white Stallion and a purple dragon was alongside the purple Alicorn holding a scroll. The four were followed by a Blue Pegasus with a Rainbow Mane, a Yellow Pegasus with a pink mane, two Earth ponies one orange with a cowboy hat on top of her blond mane and tail, the other was a pink one with pink mane, then lastly two unicorns were with her. One of the unicorns was pink but had a purple and blue mane, the other was a white Unicorn and once she got into the room and sighted the tapestry she swooned with delight "How delightful! That's one beautiful and handsome stallion!"

Luna giggled agreeing with the White Unicorn "Oh he's all that alright Rarity but, brave and fearless."

The purple Alicorn sighted Princess Celestia "I never knew about this Tapestry before Princess Celestia..."

Princess Celestia smiled "Oh Twilight, this room normally nopony knows about except for Princess Luna. She wasn't willing at first to let this room be made public."

"Why's that?" Spike asked.

Princess Luna answered "Let's just say, this tapestry means a lot to me. This Stallion on it wasn't just any stallion."

The Pink Alicorn knew right away "Was he your first lover Luna?"

Princess Luna blushes red "Y-Y-Yes, he was but that was before my banishment to the moon and I fear I lost him of age because of my banishment."

Princess Luna sighed "I just wish, I could see him again" she paused looking at Princess Celestia "Do you know where he went after?"

Princess Celestia looked at her "We both know that he had stayed behind but one day he had a dream that his friend Martin the Warrior needed his aide once again. We have no records of his sighting after he left that day to aide Martin the Warrior."

"Who is that pony on the tapestry?" the Rainbow maned Pegasus asked then she hummed eagerly even seemed to swoon a bit in love with the image "I don't normally side with Rarity but...He looks very handsome!"

Twilight Sparkle was about to say more when her students in the School of Friendship arrive in the room. One was an orange and purple dragon, one was a purple hypogriph, one was a light blue Changeling, one was a Yak, one was a male blue griffen, and the last was an earth pony.

"Easy Twilight" Princess Celestia said "We asked them to come here too as what Luna has to say concerns them too."

All of the ponies and creatures that were in the room all fell silent. Princess Celestia put a hoof on Luna's back. Princess Luna looked at her big sister as Princess Celestia spoke "I know you loved him so, by all means this tale is yours to tell."

Princess Luna smiled happily "Thanks Sister."

She walked forward looking at her guests "I suppose you all are wondering why Princess Celestia and I called you in here right?"

"Right!" was the response.

Princess Luna sat on a throne underneath the tapestry of the Pegasus pony getting comfortable in telling the tale "Well I'm about to tell you a long story. All about my first ever lover. You see, my first ever stallion friend doesn't just get the credit of stealing my heart, but he gets the credit of saving Canterlot with some help of his friend Martin the Warrior and therefor all of Equestria! If it weren't for the brave efforts of my stallion friend and his friend Martin the Warrior, Equestria wouldn't exist and under a rule of slavery and tyrants."

All of the ponies and creatures gasp now knowing they were in for a big but wonderful story, a story that most of the ponies and creatures of Equestria didn't know of and one that would change Equestria for the greater good giving it it's order of peace. Princess Luna smiled hearing the gasps a tiny tear fell from her eyes as she remembered her first ever stallion friend and lover clearly. Deep down she regretted losing herself to Nightmare Moon, for doing that she truly lost him. She then spoke then pointed to the tapestry "So please everypony and everycreature sit down and listen to the tale of Shooting Star: The Warrior Pegasus! A Warrior Pegasus whom was adopted and raised by the mighty Badger Lord Brocktree of Brockhall!"

All eyes were on the Princess of the Night as she began to recite the tale with a very similar tale of how any story in Equestria would begin "It all began Thousands of Years ago, but short after Discord's reign ended and before I became Nightmare Moon for the first time."

End of Prologue

I know this is certainly a different way than my usual Prologues. However this is also a crossover of my favorite book series known as Redwall by Brain Jacques...May he rest in peace. I'll try to honestly do my best with this fanfic to greatly honor his memory. Which means I'll be constantly updating any errors on any chapter. Feel free to point out any errors you see in this fanfic. Also please note that SOME words will be written in British English like for example Mom is spelled Mum in British English. And color is Colour. I'll also be adapting Brian Jacques's way of issuing out male or female cast members like for example Hare *Male Hare* or Hare Maid *Female hare*. Yes, Martin the Warrior is confirmed in this Fanfic if you are wondering what book version of Martin I'm using it would be after the events of his first Book he star in canon known as Martin the Warrior but very much before the events of Mossflower.
