"Prince Solaris?" Dusk calls as he enters the old town hall meeting room to find it adorned with what he expected to find in Canterlot castle, but less pronounced here as the room is smaller, though gives the feeling of the main hall.

Sentire follows along behind him and sees how it seems to be giving the same feeling of when she saw pictures of Canterlot castle. And at the end of the table, sat the two princes. The sun prince Solaris himself with the same armor and jewelry that she last saw in a newspaper article before the attack. While the lunar prince worked alongside his older brother. Having the same style of jewelry, but more armor akin to a knight with the amount of metal covering him. Both their eyes shooting up and locking on them when Dusk called out. Their eyes seemingly give a hard scanning feeling before they flick to her and she shivers slightly embarrassed as she knows this isn't proper clothing she is wearing…but she still can't fit a damn dress.

"Dusk. It's good to see you," Solaris sighs in relief. "We have received your letter, but we never expected this event this soon."

"And this level. We were actually hoping subterfuge," Artemis says hopefully as he eyes Sentire. "Pray tell…you never mentioned such a…brave mare in your letter. Is there a reason she is…?"

"She can't fit in a damn dress," Dusk sighs and walks over to them while Sentire hangs a few feet away.

"You get asked that a lot I see," Solaris says noticing the tone.

"She does more…want to back me up here?" Dusk requests to her.

Sentire blinks. "Uh…right. Well, I can't exactly change my body well enough. And fitting into a regular suit or dress is hard enough when I use to work in an office, so yeah…not easy with my clothing," she says and the princes start to really look over her with, what could only be described as, clubbing clothes with such skimpy pants, a cut cloth wrapping around her breasts and…

"None?" Artemis asks, seeing no bra straps or even panty straps on her hips.

"They are always too small," Sentire says dryly. "But it's been well and good trudging through the wastelands."

"You said office…where?" Solaris asks, catching her story.

"Oh. I was an office mare in Manehattan," Sentire answers and both princes look to each other in some thought.

"No offices have been operational since the invasion. The only ones are here in the remaining capital buildings to keep the settlement running…who are you?" Artemis presses.

"Oh…um…" Sentire starts, unsure at this point as she had broken Trial's rule of saying too much and has no thought of how to get out.

"Dusk, please wait in my study. I will talk to you later. Let us talk to this warrior. I'm sure she has some tales to tell and maybe a clue of what's going on in the land," Solaris requests and Dusk gives a slightly surprised look before bowing his head.

"Of course prince," Dusk relents and walls off to a door and shuts it behind him.

Sentire watching him leave before looking back to the princes and jumps back a little when she saw Artemis a little too close.

"What's your real story? These attacks happened almost thirty to forty years ago. Long before I arrived. You still look in your twenties and your body is plump enough to tell that your muscle hasn't started to weaken. When was the last time you went to work?" Artemis asks bluntly, his armor and dark look making Sentire feeling uncomfortable in his presence.

Sentire was about to say something when something crashed into the room.

They all look to the main door and sees it wide open with a bruised guard lying in front of it. "What is going on?" Artemis demands as he walks past Sentire and goes up to the guard.

"Please…help me," the guard pleads as Sentire saw it. There were wires digging into the guard's legs.

"What hap…?" Artemis stops before looking towards the doorway. "Come out now warriors."

"Oh no," Sentire says as Trial and Leone enter both looking very pissed and ignore the princes entirely.

"What were you saying again?" Trial asks, bending down to the guard and pulling on the wires a bit, causing them to dig further into his legs.

Artemis remains silent this time as he watches the guard squirm. "I don't knowAH!" the guard yells out in pain as Trial yanks hard.

"Oh, right. It was 'Back off. These fillies will make some nice slaves and money for me and the princes' campaign'," Trial says before Leone stomped on and broke his right arm.

The guard yells out in pain while Artemis turns to his older brother. "To what is this one talking about?"

"Leone, make him open his mouth," Trial instructs.

Leone flexes her claws out as Artemis gives a harden glare to his brother. "Brother, explain."

"Here," Trial says stuffing something into the guard's mouth.

"Brother!" Artemis yells as the guard start to yell out as smoke and then fire came out of his wounds and open areas on his body, starting to crackle and burn away his body. "Explain these accusations now," he demands to his cold stare brother as the body burns behind him.

"Sentire, we are leaving," Trial informs.

"Yeah…" Sentire mutters quietly before walking out the door with them, leaving two now estranged brothers to stare at each other and only one with a glare.

"Get on the gro…" a guard tries to demand before Leone punches him bending in his helmet and cracking a few teeth as they made their way out.

"I think it's safe to say we can not return back here," Sentire voices as she travels in between the two.

"And you wanted them in charge," Trial simply says as they walk out, Vinyl there waiting for them.

Sentire doesn't say anything as she thinks about how the two princes reacted. Artemis demanding answers and Solaris staying silent throughout the ordeal. And now what is the reasoning behind having slavery going on here is the question.

"We are out of here," Trial informs Vinyl who nods.

"Who are you going to bring? Everyone?" Vinyl asks.

"That's right," Trial says before running a hand through her mane as he walked by.

"Awesome. I'll get them," Vinyl says shivering before walking off to the inn to get the others.

"What about Spitfire and the rest of the wonderbolts?" Leone asks.

"Distract the guards for me. I am going to go see them," Trial says as more guards were running at them.

Leone cracks her knuckles. "No problem," she ends with a grin as Trial ran off. "And what will you do?" Leone asks looking at Sentire.

"I'll…go get some supplies before we are locked out of them," Sentire says before running off and out of sight.

"Looks like feeding you guys your teeth is up to me," Leone says as she cracks her neck and looks to the group of guards in front of her.

"Oh, for the love of…" Rainbow says hearing the fighting from in town. "Not even an hour and there is already a fight," she complains.

"Two bits says it's our friends," Fleetfoot bets as she holds up two bits.

Spitfire was about to chew them out when there was a knock on their door.

"Yo," Vinyl says entering and grabbing her things. "Pack up. We are leaving."

"What did you do?" Spitfire asks.

"I didn't. Trial and Leone did. They pissed off the entire settlement guards," Vinyl explains as they hear some yelling.

"How? We haven't even bee…care to explain yourself?" Glide asks seeing Trial walk in.

"Basically, we killed one that wanted to enslave the fillies we brought to get himself a payday and fund one of the princes. The one who likes to wear gold. And by killed, I mean we burned him alive in front of the two," Trial informs.

"You what…forget it. That's prince Solaris," Spitfire quickly explains as everyone starts to grab their things.

"So you want to come or stay?" Trial asks.

Spitfire sighs. "I am so happy we can operate anywhere," she mutters to herself as she grabs her bag.

"You don't have to come with us if you don't want to," Trial says.

"Oh, you hear that captain? Your husband cares for your happiness," Fleetfoot says very loudly, almost calling out to be heard by everyone.

A sudden bag slams into her head as Spitfire sighs and looks at him. "You sure? Seems like you want me to follow."

"What I want doesn't matter. What would make you happy?" Trial asks freezing her.

The rest of the Wonderbolts stare at her expression as everyone else kept packing. "Why not your happiness?" Spitfire asks back.

"My happiness comes second to my wife's," Trial says simply.

Spitfire remains silent at that as she kept staring at him and some more yelling of pain came from outside the window. "Okay. Wonderbolts, we are staying. Besides, we do need to stop and help things out. We are soldiers after all."

"You sure?" Rainbow asks.

"I am. Rainbow, you are in the reserves so you have a bigger chance of leaving without trouble. I and the others can't because we answer to the princes. If you want to follow, go right ahead. We won't stop you," Spitfire offers as Glide and Fleetfoot stop to unpack now.

"Is this a divorce?" Glide asks.

"Just waiting," Spitfire states as she stares at Trial.

Trial smiles before walking over and hugs her. "Don't trust Solaris. He is the one who had it done," Trial whispers into her ear as he held her.

Spitfire wordlessly hugs him back and buries her head into his neck.

"I will miss you," Trial whispers to her.

"Same…go ahead and see other mares if you want. It may be a long time for us," Spitfire pushes.

"I also don't mind sharing you as long as they aren't a stallion," Trial whispers to her before kissing her.

"Aw," both Glide and Fleetfoot fawns as the others start to leave.

"We will be taking over an area or the building if we can find it," Trial informs before letting her go.

"Do what you can. We'll be here," Spitfire sighs as she looks out the window to see an even bigger brawl.

"Yeah…I think they will need to increase their medical ward," Trial says before heading out to get the fillies and Octavia.

"Later guys," Vinyl says as she and Rainbow walk out of the room.

"You sure about this captain?" Glide asks seriously, now that they were alone.

"Yeah. We can't keep traveling. It's our job to handle things from the princes…maybe taking orders from one now," Spitfire admits.

"And you sad to see your to be husband go?" Fleetfoot asks.

"…yeah," Spitfire finally accepts.

"Maybe in a few years you can take him up on his offer and build a home with him," Glide says trying to comfort.

"Or a cloud home," Spitfire says wistfully.

"Well, you are both pegasus. You will just need something to keep those flying monsters away. If you can, we could recreate Cloudsdale," Fleetfoot says.

"Yeah…" Spitfire sighs lost in her fantasy now.

"How many foals will you have?" Glide asks smirking, seeing her expression.

Now Spitfire snapped out of it and hits her in the head with another bag.

Sentire pants as she runs across the streets, already having some supplies to help them get along in the wastelands. By now, the shops are all starting to close up once they hear fighting, thinking either an attack by the monsters or by the two famous groups operating in the lands. Even as she ran by more shops, they kept closing up, only taking purchases of leftover items on the desk area before they shut the shutters and metal roofing.

Sentire groans as she turns a corner and smacks into someone, making a clanking sound and sending her to the ground. "Owie…"

"You okay?" somepony asks and picks her up by the arms, but realizes that there are more hands than voices and she looks to see a group of guards. "Wow…check her out guys. Now if that ain't a fuckable body, I don't know what is," he says lecherously as they now kept a strong grip on her.

"Hey. Let me…" Sentire tries to voice before a hand grips her plump face and turns her whatever way the stallion wanted to see.

"Yeah. She's perfect. We can certainly fetch a price on her. Or maybe own her ourselves and pay entry," he adds as they all grin and close in on her, making her feel how much their groin armor is growing in size and leaving her to struggle to push them all off.

"Excuse me," a voice says and everyone looks behind them before a stick suddenly knocks the one in the back out with a knock on the forehead before more whips and knocks came to the others. And to add insult to injury, after Sentire is let go, the two that were holding her got smacked in the crotch and left groaning in pain. "Are you okay fertile mare?"

Sentire looks to see that Zicoro is the one holding a staff with some feathers and gems that glowed tied to the top by a string. "Thanks, now let's get out of here," she says and Zicoro is quick to grab her and pulls her over to him, helping her walk over the groaning and knocked out bodies of the guards. "Thanks…again."

"It was not a problem," Zicoro states as Sentire looks over the knocked out group and tries to think of how many other guards are doing this practice while backing up into Zicoro and stops.

"Sorry. Now let's…" she stops as she felt something pressing against her back and slowly feels around before groaning in embarrassment as she grabbed his long throbbing cock through his loincloth.

"I will not lie. Seeing you held in such a way is arousing. But it is not a right way as you did not consent to such a thing. I will not be like them and mate with you until you are broken unless you ask me for such a request," Zicoro states as he held his position and waits for her reaction.

Sentire gulps and slowly lets him go, but could not stop herself from trailing her hand down to his tip and feels it twitch up into her hand. "We can…talk about this later. Let's get going. No doubt the guards are planning to now throw us all out," Sentire says blushing madly and walks off with a slight stumble at the start. "I'm okay," she quickly says as she feels his eyes on her and then hears him follow her.

"Yeehaw!" Leone cheers as she flew by and jump kicks a guard into a metal corrugated fence that crumbled under his weight and knocked him out. "Oh yeah. Two points. Hey girl. Hey big boy. How did your quick shopping go?" Leone asks before turning and punches a spear that she then grabbed and pulled, jerking the guard who she then grabs by the collar and throwing him to the ground hard.

"Got as much as I can before they closed their doors. We can hold out until we get to Dusk's home. We need to get to it anyway. I need some of my things in there," Sentire explains.

"As do I. I am sure you and your friend would like more potions based on old alchemy traits," Zicoro offers and Leone licks her lips at that. "Thought so."

"Well, guess I'll meet you guys outside. I want some extra training in," Leone says punching her hands together before running at more guards coming at her.

"Come on," Sentire says grabbing Zicoro's hand and pulling him out of the settlement as they heard more yelling and cries of pain. "Now the others should be…"

"Hey, guys!" Rainbow calls as she flies up to them and lands while Vinyl and Octavia are close behind. "So…slavery, huh?"

"Yeah," Sentire informs trying to come to terms that a prince would allow that.

"Seriously, what the fuck?" Dusk grumbles as he marches up to them. "What's all of this about slavery and is that why Leone is tearing up the entire collection of guards? Because now we all have to leave until things are sorted."

"Incoming!" Leone calls out before she slams Dusk's head into the ground. "Three points and a slam dunk…oh. Is he involved Sentire?" she asks pointing to the groaning Dusk.

Sentire shakes her head. "Hardly…he's clueless."

"Oh, then I won't smash his head in," Leone says fully serious, freaking out Dusk a bit.

"Do you kill anyone that you don't…" Dusk trails off immediately as Leone flexes her claws in front of her. "Never mind."

"Good boy," Leone says happily as she looks proud of herself. "Now all we need is Trial."

"I am here," Trial says leading the CMC up to them.

"Great…now, where to?" Rainbow asks a bit miffed they can't stay.

"Vinyl," Octavia says, knowing she usually knew the right way to go.

"Let's go," Vinyl says walking off in a certain direction. "Dusk's place should be this way…and please lower the magical influence ward once we get there princy. I can sense it from here," she partly scolds to Dusk as he gets up and brushes his robe off.

"I will go ahead," Trial says spreading his wings.

"Just leave some things to kill for us," Leone calls as he flies off.

"I promise nothing," Trial says before taking off.

"Ah, geez. They really pissed him off," Leone sighs.

"Question, what was slavery like back in your days?" Sentire asks as they start to follow Vinyl.

"What do you mean, back in your day? She is our age," Rainbow says looking at Sentire.

Sentire stops in her thought as she sees Leone slowly give her a stare that says 'You've fucked up' under a confused raised eyebrow. 'I got to learn to speak to them in private after this and keep my mouth shut.'

"She must have hit her head in the breakout of that place. Hey, how about this? Did you knock any of the guards out when you ran to us?" Leone asks moving to Rainbow and wrapping an arm around her.

"Nah. They thought we were going to help take you down or get back up. Fat chance of that happening," Rainbow boasts as Sentire sighs in relief behind them.

"Trial is so cool. He really showed those slavers," Sweetie Belle cheered.

"How did he? Tell the others," Leone says smiling.

"I am pretty sure he broke that one's back," Scootaloo says.

"Set several more on fire," Apple Bloom says.

"I miss the days when they were excited about getting a cutie mark," Rainbow sighs.

"Now they have them," Vinyl whispers into her ear.

Rainbow now smiles as they all look at the excited girls and their cutie marks.

"And you're a wonderbolt who has a stallion now," Vinyl reminds.

Rainbow slaps her in the back of the head at that and knocks her glasses askew. "Shut up."

"Is Trail going to be my brother forever then?" Scootaloo asks excitedly about it now.

"And you best watch it. You never know when she will stop wanting him as a brother and instead as a stallion," Vinyl whispers into Rainbow's ear.

"Scootaloo will never do that!" Rainbow declares and captures everyone's attention.

"We shall see," Vinyl says smirking.

"Let's continue on," Leone sweatdrops as she pushes the two along.

"So what is Trial anyways? Is he a mage or what?" Dusk asks.

"He is a battle mage. A front line fighter who devotes themselves to the battlefield," Leone informs.

"And what spells does he know a lot? Like his main ones?" Dusk asks.

"Don't know. Whenever he enters a trance-like you have seen, his arsenal of spells increases most of the time," Leone says.

"But fire is his first?" Octavia asks.

"I don't know," Leone states nonchalantly.

"How's it going down there?" Trial calls from up above having flown back about ten minutes later.

"You find the house?" Rainbow calls.

"Yeah. Also, looks like some you will have a few more subjects," Trial informs looking to Dusk.

"Shit…" Dusk mutters before sighing. "I can try to take care of it and plus it would give me more things to test on…and since it's a nest…" Dusk mutters to himself as he starts to grin.

"Necromancy," Trial whispers to both of his traveling mares.

"I got claws," Leone says unsheathing them.

Sentire just raises an eyebrow at Dusk and he catches on to what they are thinking. "Any case, let's move on," he says walking off.

"Did you go in?" Barb asks.

"Nah. If I did, then I would have taken care of the nest," Trial says shrugging.

"She means the house," Leone says.

"That's what I said," Trial reiterates.

"Wait…monsters were in the house?" Dusk asks slowly as he turns to him and he actually smiles and nods. "DAMMIT!" Dusk yells and runs off quickly to the place.

"Ah. The misery of those we hate," Trial says in relief as he wraps an arm around Leone who giggles.

"Dusk! Dammit. Stop!" Barb yells as she chases after him with the skunk hanging onto her tail.

"You're a jerk," Sentire only stated and runs off after them to help out clearing the place of monsters.

"They escaped from the cages, didn't they?" Leone asks.

"Yup," Trial states.

"You have anything to do with it?" Rainbow asks.

"Nope," Trial says.

"You sure?" Rainbow presses turning to him.

"Were already out when I arrived," Trial informs.

"You better hope that is what happened. Dusk is my best friend here," Rainbow states.

"It is. After all, I like you," Trial whispers into her ear.

"Good…now if you excuse me," Rainbow says before flying off after the three.

"You might have trouble getting with her if you keep hating on her friend. Applejack did tell me she is very loyal," Leone says.

"I am not hating on them, but I will call out Mr. forget all his notes and plans," Trial says.

"Still, she might leave you if you go too far," Leone warns as she pulls him closer.

"It's true. Big sis told an old griffon friend that she is not welcome since he told Berry off and even part of the town," Scootaloo says proudly with her wings fluttering like crazy behind her.

"Well, I am not being hateful," Trial says.
