Chapter 2 is here quick because I felt the first was too short so this one will be a bit longer. Also, if your OC hasn't appeared yet don't worry because It'll have its time. If your OC dies. I don't wanna hear whining.

It's a full moon night in Equestria as we join two ponies and changelings from the Solar Empire on a mission.

"DB, where are we going again?" Asked the changeling named Informant.

"I told you we're going to Ponyville to investigate and find clues to prove Nebula's innocence." Replied a pony with blue eyes and a white coat with a silver mane that has gray streaks in it. He is named DB. His cutie mark consisted of a katana over a piece of parchment.

"Well I'm hungry. Can I have something to eat?" Whined Informant.

"No. We don't have any and this shouldn't take long." Replied DB.

"But, I'm hungry." Said Informant whining even more.

"Wayward, tell him to shut up." Ordered DB to an off-white coated pegasus with a black mane that has gray streaks on either side of it and lightening blue eyes.

"Informant, shut the hell up." Wayward Son said in an annoyed tone.

"Ugh fine." He grumbled. The soldiers were sent by Nebula himself.

Flashback

"Nebula!" Celestia shouted from her throne room. Not a second later, The alicorn Nebula appeared in front of her bowing.

"Do you need something Princess?" Asked Nebula.

"I received word from Lunar soldiers that you were in Ponyville and you blasted it making it shoot up in flames. I also heard that many innocents were killed. That's more than ten codes of this war broken! I sent you to the Griffins to get their support. Did you destroy Ponyville instead?" Celestia asked angrily. Nebula had a stunned look on his face.

"Princess, I was in the Griffin's land but they wouldn't lean to us and I just got back. I didn't know anything about such an attack." Replied the confused alicorn.

"Listen, I'll have to relieve you of duty or even banish you unless you can prove it wasn't you and that's it." Said Celestia beckoning him away with her hoof.

Hours later

Nebula approached three soldiers in the barracks that he had known for more than five years.

"DB, Informant, and Wayward." He called out as the three troops turned to face him.

"Oh hey Nebula. I heard about what you did. Some may not like what you did, but it showed we are willing to win." Said Informant.

"Something you need?" Asked DB cleaning his katana.

"Yes. I need you three to go to Ponyville and investigate what happened."

"Um but you did that."

"No. I was over way east in the land of the Griffins. Something strange has been going on and I traced it to here now."

"What do you mean?"

"These attacking patterns on both sides. Small, unexpected attacks and victories for the Lunar Republic. I bet it's the same for them seeing us like that. I'm on to something. Go to Ponyville and investigate to see if you can find strange occurrences.

End of Flashback

They soon arrived to the devastated Ponyville. With small blue fllames still lingering, blood all around, and great clouds of black smoke, it was a saddening sight. DB had already find something odd. He explained to the two soldiers that Nebula's magic power was different from the type that lingered. DB started following it's tracks. It seemed that the pony or thing that did this has lots of power, enough to emulate in it hoof steps. They kept following it for ten minutes until they noticed three figures ahead of them.

One had a black coat with a messy, dark gray mane and orange eyes. He is known as Diablo. Another has a brown coat with a lighter brown, messy mane and blue eyes. This one is Traitor. The last has a gray coat, a straight, black mane with two white stripes going through it, and green eyes. He is Avenger. They all approached each other cautiously and stopping five feet apart from each other.

"What are you doing here?" Growled Diablo.

"I was going to ask you the same thing." DB replied.

"We're here trying to trace the strange energy source."

"We are too. This definitely wasn't Nebula's doing."

"As much as I hate to say this, we're going to need help to track them down and kill them."

"Who said I wanted to do that?"

"Face it. He's a friend to you. And any power like this could be a real threat to anypony."

"So you use reason for once?" Asked DB.

"I should decapitate you right now." Replied Diablo stepping closer. The feeling was getting intense between the two as...

Meanwhile somewhere east of Canterlot

A pony could be heard whistling the toon of Yanky Doodle Pony over a tundra as he headed up north. This pony had a dark russet coat, green eyes, and a gray striped mane. His cutie mark is a yellow bird and his name is Blackjack. Currently, he is off on a mission from Celestia to make peace with the Chrystal Empire. They had remained neutral at the beginning but now was a crucial moment. The Solar Empire needed more civilian places and another recruiting center along with supplies. Plus they were on the Solar Empire territory side.

Blackjack is a very good negotiator and manipulator. His good attitude around other ponies makes it quite simple. Soon enough, the Chrystal Empire was in sight. But it didn't seem right. It wasn't as bright and welcoming as Celestia had told. Instead, it was nothing of the sort. The kingdom had a black aura surrounding it and pure black crystals chaotically sticking out of the ground. Some new crystals were even popping up randomly. One of which almost, went through Blackjack's head and neck. It gave him enough of a spook to run to the barrier around the kingdom. He poked at it seeing that it is passable and noticing magic won't go through it. He took a deep breathe and slowly but surely passed through it. When he passed through it, the kingdom seemed to look worse. The crystals were more of an abundance and the sky looked like a dying orange. He started his trek into the land when he saw the castle in the middle.

Over in Canterlot

"Under any other circumstance, I would not do this. But I need you to help us. The Lunar Republic is outweighing us a bit. However, we outmatch them in skill and tactics. And with your help, it'll show more." Princess Celestia said to a female pegasus. The pegasus had an ash-grey coat and a long, messy brown mane. Her left eye is covered with an eye patch and her right is an amethyst color. She wears a blue bandanna around her neck which has a skull and crossbones on it. Her cutie mark are two swords crossing each other with a third going through diagonally. Her name is Swash Buckle.

"How much will you pay?" She asked.

"Well consider this your bounty payoff."

"I like that. But gimme' some more. I've got an entire crew and ship to be paid."

"All of your crew and you will get a thousand bits. Plus more for good behavior and performance. Take it or leave it. Or perhaps you can complain to Draconix or Nebula.

"Woah! No need to threaten here. I like your offer. Consider it a deal!" Swash said shaking Celestia's hoof.

Well short chapter and not a hole lot of action. I'm good at managing stories, not time. So I'm sorry about the long wait for little result. I just need some more time and good submissions. Already a good abundance but I need more for the plot. Especially the Solar Empire. Not that you have to choose it. So once again the form will be below.
