Alright, I wanna thank deadly instinct for the feedback, I appreciate you, also I would have you as a beta reader but I don't know how :P

continue to review and such so that I may become a better writer in the end or at least know you all like what you see, ima just let you read now.

It was a sunny day on the docks of what the three assumed was a fishing town, seagulls called in the morning air a small breeze was blowing as the smell of seawater bathed the ship in its dew, the steam boat came to a stop and lowered a plank for its passengers to make it to land.

Silver strings crossed it as lightning road simply had flown to the docks, they wore very impressive looking blue and black trim armor with boots that reached their knees in several layers of mettle and steel plates that protected their whole backs, lightning roads being the exception as it had two openings for his wings, the steel plate was attached to a sort of armored neck brace that protected their vitals and came up and over their heads only leaving openings for their ears to breath, the piece covered most of their faces only leaving a long slit for the eyes which ended at the tip of there muzzles just under their noses as to not obscure there eyes.

The two stood on the docks a moment before a still sick Stardust fumbled over the boats safety railing, doing a small flip, hitting his back squarely on the dock before plummeting into the water "it's a good thing he was to sick put on his armor, I knew this was going to happen too" said Silver strings as he and lightning road trotted to the edge of the dock to look down into the water.

A few sailors came by with life preserves and searched the water from the dock before jumping down to rescue the drowning unicorn, an older horse came beside the two armor clad ponies and spoke "he with you?"

Both nodded, he chuckled then spoke again "is it sea sickness, or motion sickness"

Silver strings sighed "unfortunately for us, motion sickness."

"Hm quite unfortunate indeed, that's some mighty fine armor you boys got" he commented, he must have wanted to strike up conversation, or maybe he was suspicious of the three for some reason, the old horse trotted to Stardust as they had just brought him up, he must have surrendered his lunch to the sea because he was already looking somewhat better, the sailors on the other hoof seemed like they themselves were about to throw up.

Lightning road diverted his attention from Stardust to the town, but not just the town but the landscape itself to him it was so colorful and full of life, the citizens seemed happy and cheerful to such an extreme that it struck concern to the lightning Pegasus, the young colts and Phillies ran through the streets seemingly without a care in the world, there was near no sign of struggle except for a pony on a bench doing a crossword puzzle.

"Yo, Silver what do you think so far" said lightning road as he nudged his brother to examine the town, he did so and laughed a bit "well, it's definitely more colorful, at least compared Vanguards poo brown and gun steel color scheme these people look like they haven't had to fight for their lives even once" said silver strings, lightning road agreed with a nod.

A few young colts had stopped there horse play (lol) as they noticed the pair examining the town and had run up to greet them the way colts do "woah, you guys look awesome! Said the first of the four, lightning road responded 'i know right' before making a full turn to let the colts bask in his undeniable awesomeness.

Silver strings shook his head then went to see the recovering Stardust who was still a bit wobbly on his hooves "how ya feeling big guy" teased the silver stallion, the gold unicorn looked up to him "better, i now need to get back on that ship because i left my armor there" he groaned, Silver put a hoof on his shoulder "I'll get it, you go with lightning road i want to get to the castle as soon as possible so we can relax" the unicorn responded 'cool beans' as Silver strings boarded the ship, he noticed that he could in fact see the castle off in the distance from there location sticking out of the side of a mountain, or at least that's most likely the castle, he wondered what the princess would be like along with their work, if he were to guess by his surroundings alone what work as a knight here would be like he would assume it would be tame or even boring, but there is only one way to find out.

Canterlot, a few hours later…

"Princess Celestia, i came as soon as you summoned me, what's the emergency? Whatever it might be i can handle it!" exclaimed the purple alicorn, her hair evenly cut and kept straight and her purple and green baby dragon sidekick agreed before starting to fall over do to the sheer size of his backpack, twilight had noticed that the three other princesses were all in attendance, this included Luna and Cadance both in their own thrones beside the princess Celestia, this made twilight even more determined to prove herself, as if defeating tirek wasn't enough.

"Now settle down twilight, it's not that type of emergency you have already 'proven' yourself several times over, this can be considered another test though for you" explained Celestia, Twilight tilted her head in confusion "a test? What's it about, am i going to need to show my work" she said now reaching for her backpack that was now crushing the baby dragon "twilight, you should know by now its not one of those type of tests" said Princess Cadance, once again twilight sat down confused once again.

"Well then what type of test?" asked the alicorn, princess Celestia closed her eyes a bit then replied "about half a month ago, i was contacted by a country across the sea to the south-east they needed supplies and aid after having finished a brutal war that crippled their lands, so i sent them the support there people required and they insisted on sending us something in return and have decided to send us there three most trusted knights as they had nothing else to send."

Twilight listened on as she continued to explain "twilight, your task is to take these knights in, as an up and coming princess it is important that you have loyal followers that would fight for you, though your friends have made great progress unlocking the power of friendship, i'm curious to see how you start again from scratch, besides assigning guards to you now seems overdue" Celestia lightheartedly said that last part, Luna closed her eyes in a smile and Cadence nodded agreement "alright I'll do it… where are they" said twilight, Celestia answered "they may not have arrived yet, who knows how far there land is from Equestria…"

just then a guard walked in, but not just any guard, it was Flash sentry the new captain of Princess Cadences private guard, he took a quick knee and stole a glance at Princess twilight who blushed "my guards have informed me that the three new royal knights have arrived, they are being escorted here as we speak" he said confidently, Princess Cadence thanked him, he bowed his head and took his leave.

Just outside the castle…

"First a boat then a train? I hate this place!" he was then punched in the shoulder by Silver strings, the three where in there complete sets of armor, the only difference in Stardusts being that his helmet piece had hole for his horn, the two guards now escorting them through the castle "hey, you boys seem a little young to be full fledged knights don't you think" said the guard to there left trying to sound older than what he really is.

"No, i wouldn't say so" answered Silver strings nonchalauntly, a few of the guards laughed "I don't know, i think that the nice armor and title is compensating for something" said the guard in a cruel tone, once again the guards laughed, Star didn't take this lightly "so what your trying to say is that Vanguards most skilled knights are below you, just some guards?" the guard seemed amused and stopped the rest in the middle of a large hallway "I'm not saying, I'm implying it" he said once again laughing at them with a few dozen extra guards, Silver strings then stepped up "you sir, have insulted my home and my brothers, so you best hope you can backup your claims."

Silver had reached for his bass guitar that was slung on his back, when he was stopped by lightning road "hey wait, can we get in trouble for this?" he said in a bemused fashion, Silver strings stopped to think about it "hm, we are the newcomers to this land, and we are a higher rank than them as a start, besides 'we don't know how this land works' it will be a complete misunderstanding" said Silver Strings as he had fully grasped the neck of his guitar and now held it like a weapon, lightning and Star had both turned around, smiles adorned on there faces and in unison the two said "good!"
