I was meaning to keep writing but got distract with stuff, regardless its to early for me to start disappearing on yall who ever you are so here, I kinda like how this one turned out but what do you think?

The three had made it to the large set of double doors that seemed a lot like there old castle "welp, we've kept our new boss waiting for long enough" said lightning road, Stardust was quick to correct him "i think you mean bosses, I can feel the magic of four alicorns in there" his brothers looked at him like he was crazy for a minute "what? Your joking" scoffed lightning road, Silver strings stepped up to him and plainly told him to 'tell the truth' "i'm not kidding, honestly there magic all together like this is pretty overbearing, like something is weighing heavily on my head and pressing on me" he said in an uncharacteristically monotone fashion.

Tis was enough to convince his brothers, not that the answer lied on the other side of the doors in front of them "four alicorns, this country might have a reason for being so calm, the power of one alicorns seems like overkill to any normal opponent, and four? that's scary" said silver strings wisely.

The Star opened the door with his magic and the three trotted down the large hallway, stained glass murals lined the hallway and roof of the room with images of fantastic tales and prophecies both complete and to be completed, just like Stardust had said four alicorn waited at the end of the hallway, there faces and emotions unreadable, this frightened Silver strings even further, the three stopped in a circular space at the end of the hallway in front of the queen's throne, i quick observation of the jewelry the four wore along with the ornaments and crowns the four wore along with everything they observed before hand told them these four demanded respect, the three dropped to a knee and bowed before them, there armor clanking as they did so along with the thud of Stardust dropping his "package" , Silver Strings didn't lift his head when he spoke "please accept our apologies, we shouldn't have kept *stutter* the queens waiting, we will accept any punishment you may bestow" the three waited in silence before a regal voice in front of them spoke "and what happened to my royal guards?"

The three knights stiffened before Silver strings answered for them "once again we will accept any punishment granted, but these ponies have insulted my brothers, me, and my home, so we did what we saw as right and we do not regret anything" there was another pause that dragged on for them, then an audible sigh.

"Rise" said the largest of the four alicorns, the three brothers obliged and stood now getting a better look at the four but not for very long as there attention was snapped back to the largest "why don't you three introduce yourselves" the white alicorn said in a benevolent manner as her light rainbow main waved while there was no wind inside.

Silver strings stepped forward "my name is Silver Strings son of Klef Sonata, royal knight and musician from Vanguard, my service and loyalty now belong to you" he finished with a bow stepping back.

Lightning road stepped in front of Silver strings "my name is Lightning Road orphan of the storm, royal knight and will of the storm , my life belongs to you by request of king erma, so my loyalties are without question" he stated extending his wings, arks of electricity sprang between his feathers as he bowed his head and stepped back beside Silver Strings.

Stardust stepped forward the same as lightning road had and began his bit "my name is Stardust, the last of the astral order, son of Cosmos, royal knight to king erma and now loyal to you, princess celestia."

Stardust stepped back the princesses looked us over before princess celestia had turned to the smallest of the four "alright, there under your custody from now on twilight, i already now you can handle this" Twilight had turned to the princess and stated 'you can count on us' she said then proceeded to walk toward her three new guards.

"Alright, come on you three we have to catch a train to get to my castle" she stated, Star stifled a groan as the three answered in unison 'yes mam.'

Before they left princess celestia had told them not to worry about the guards and that they would be dealt with accordingly, that sent a chill down there spines as they followed twilight out of the throne room 'so do you guys think they will get killed?' asked Stardust through telepathy, Silver strings just answered 'not sure, i couldn't get a read on any of the three, our new boss though walks with confidence, she doesn't seem worried about a thin-" Sliver quickly trotted in front of twilight who bumped into him lightly.

"Hey we need to get going what is it" she said with the slightest bit of impatience, Lightning and Star had walked in front as well "what are you feeling Silver?" asked Star, Silver Strings closed his eyes under his armor "something is coming this way, and its really fast" he said as the other two knights tensed and looked down the two directions of the hallway, twilight was saying something but just then Silver Strings lunged forward, one second nothing was there then a pink blur rocketed down the hallway almost into a waist high tackle, but the unknown pony had used its front hooves to push down Silver and jump completely over him in a succession of flips.

Stardust and Lightning Road looked at it in pure shock, in flight or fight response Lightning in one push of his wings went straight for its head while Star went for a low sweep as it nearly landed.

But as said attacks were launched the assailant had somehow straitened itself out in mid air completely avoiding both attacks, Lightning road and Stardust both flew past the pony as it did a rapid succession of flips and landed squarely on its hooves, a bit of dust that seemingly was sweeped up from nowhere quickly settled back down and the mystery pony had been identified as the three were amazed at how 'she' got past the three of them so easily, not that they didn't believe a girl could beat them as Alias would have their tails for even thinking that, but to Silver strings she didn't seem like a fighter at least wasn't entirely built like one, her fur was pink as well as her mane just in a darker shade, her mane was an absolute mess just like her tail and even her cutie mark didn't make sense to him, it was three colored balloons.

Silver strings decided to ask questions later as he yelled "Star! Get her!" Stardust quickly snapped out of his stunned state and used his magic to levitate her so she couldn't move "hey! What's the big idea!" she said trying to sound menacing, to Silver Strings it sounded like a joke and as he prepared to bash her over the head "STOP! That's my friend put her down!"

Twilight had processed what had happened and what was happening just in time to stop Silver Strings from any further brain damage on what she might already have, Star was quite as he put her down letting his magic fade from her "Pinkie pie, you alright? What are you even doing here i said i would be back soon and to wait up."

"Oh right, its just that you said this was going to be something super duper important and i just couldn't wait! Who are these guys, they look super weird" she said at a very quick pace as she dashed around the three armor clad ponies she had shown up not five seconds ago.

"Alright before i start, are the others here?" asked Twilight.

"Nope! Just me i just couldn't wait to hear what the big emergency was!"

"You could have waited, we weren't even gone a day" said a purple and green dragon that the three had only just noticed, immediately silver started assessing him 'hm, he must have just hatched id say a few months maybe, unnatural color scheme … i wonder what kind of dragon he is though i've never met a domesticated one i wonder how that will turn out.'

"Well you three, this is pinkie pie a good friend of mine and one of the ponies you work for" said twilight snapping silver strings out of his thoughts and saving spike the uncomfortable stare down he was getting.

Lightning looked the pink pony up and down, he turned to twilight and asked the question she thought she would get later "how the heck did she do that? I mean get passed the three of us the way she did, with intense and specific training 'maybe' she could slip by me and star before we knew it but nobody outplays silver strings the way she did."

Lightning road pressed, twilight was about to answer when she was bumped by the hyperactive pinkie to steal the spotlight "oh that was mostly my pinki sense, its kinda hard to explain but basically it tells me when things are going to happen through these feelings i get."

Lightning gave her a deadpan expression "that's very oddly specific" he said plainly, she didn't give any sort of answer beside a silly smile to which lightning's head dropped "and with that we've lost our air of seriousness, i was hoping we would have at least a day before something like this would happen but we didn't even make it out the castle yet…" twilight stifled a laugh "well i was hoping to keep pinkie pie a surprise until we got to town ut this was still enjoyable" she said with a new light hearted tone.

At the train stop pinkie pie wouldn't stop bombarding the three with questions like where they came from, their interests, their birthdays which she hoped was soon, only lightning was able to keep up with her speed but silver noted the sparks swirling the deep blue stallion which told him that lightning was putting in effort to keep up with pinkie pie, Stardust seemed on edge though the train had not yet arrived "hey Star this is your third trip today, you feel up for it?"

Stardust was sweating under his armored mask "hell no man… i think i'm gonna have to take the home remedy." Silver strings nodded then turned to lightning road who was still distracting pinkie pie "Star's opted the home remedy for his motion sickness."

"I thought he would, its the third time today we gotta take a transport" he said, this caught twilight's attention as she stepped forward "i could help to, i know a spell that can keep his lunch down on the train" she said optimistically.

"No thanks princess, it's not a physical problem, the problem comes from his magic itself you see he has a lot of magic energy which gets real unstable when shook in turn making him sick" explained Silver strings "yes it's kinda like when you get a bottle of soda with a lot of carbonation and shake it, he just can't keep it down when it comes to vehicles or earthquakes" added lightning road.

This confused twilight, she is sure she has as much if not more magic energy then Stardust did and she didn't suffer from motion sickness and openly said so, Silver explained "you see princess the three of us in one way or another are how you say 'special cases' lightning has his electricity, i have a 6th,7th, possibly 8th sense, and star…"

"When he was born, he was born to the leader of a cult called the astral plane, that was determined to reach new magical heights that the world had never seen and they caused a lot of problems, but in the eyes of cosmos the leader had ambitions that he thought only his son could achieve… so they slew and ursa major and before the resulting explosion of its death they cast a powerful spell to trap its energy and put it inside him, he does in fact have more laten energy than any lone alicorn would but using so much energy at once could seriously hurt or kill him."

Twilight was struck speechless by his explanation, once she was able to process what he said she immediately felt dissbelief "Lightning's been in there before, he said that only a fraction of the energy comes out through a door leading to a plane of pure and expanding magical energy energy, your probably thinking how is that even possible well my best bet is that Lightning can turn himself into pure energy himself and entered through his horn but there has to be some difference between electricity and magic energy it just didn't make much sense to me how that worked."

Silver rambled to the princess intell the train could be heard in the distance, Stardust removed his helmet mask and put it behind his head holstered where there helmets went when not worn, lightning road and Silver strings walked up on either side of him "alright then if all that is true then what is this home remedy you guys were talking about?"

The princess seemed a tad irritate but was determined to find out the truth or check their claims later, the two behind Stardust stood on there hind hooves "a simple solution to a complicated problem." he stated flatly.

It seemed so fast to Twilight but as he said that he and Lightning road reeled back and delivered a heavy blow to the back of Stardust's head, the ponies who didn't recognize the way these three worked including those who were at the trainstation standing by dumbfounded by the action and the only word uttered as they boarded the train with the unconscious unicorn came from a baby dragon that the knights had once again forgotten about and it was "ouch…"
