Blaze sped through the forest as fast as they jeep would allow him to. Luna hanged on to the jeep and eventually put her seatbelt on as they kept bouncing over rocks and jumping off small hills.
"You do realize you can't go back to Canterlot." Blaze said as he spun the wheel making the jeep cut to the right avoiding a tree.
Luna held onto the seat trying to stay in the jeep," I know."
" Good. Now let get another thing clear, don't expect me to uphold any respect for you."
"What do you mean?"
" You may be Celestia's sister but in Legion we don't care who's who and what they used to be, as long as they do their job and follow the rules they can stay." Blaze said stomping on the brake as a tree came in front of them too fast to turn away from.
"I don't expect you to treat me like I'm royalty." Luna said.
"Good." Blaze said stomping on the gas again turning to the right as Scripture and Streak's jeep roared up behind them. Silent Wind laid in the back of the jeep coughing up blood as more blood poured from his wound and onto the back if the jeep making a puddle.
Luna turned around and levitated a rag out of the jeep's glove compartment and tried to put pressure on the slash that Celestia gave Wind. She cringed slightly as Wind flinched himself as she pressed against his cut.
"He's losing too much blood." Luna said levitating another rag out of the glove compartment and onto another part of Wind's cut.
"We're almost there." Blaze said glancing up at the sky seeing the sun sit just above the mountain range," Don't you still have to raise the moon?"
" There are more important things right now then rising a piece if rock." Luna said softly.
"Your choice." Blaze said and pulled onto a beaten down dirt road and began to make the jeep go in a zig zag.
"Why?" Luna asked turning around again and holding onto the seat.
" Why what?"
" Why are you driving like this?"
" Mines, we mined the road." Blaze answered dryly.
Luna looked down and said something that sounded like a curse and the looked back up looking around. Blaze looked in the side view mirror and saw Streak doing the same movement of his own jeep. Blaze and Luna saw the wall of the Legion base slowly loom into view and Blaze felt a sprinkle of relief come onto him but he still kept the jeep going as fast as it can.
"Identify yourself." The radio crackled in the jeep.
Blaze picked up the microphone and said," Master Sergeant Moon Blaze, I have wounded here and will need the medics on standby as soon as we enter the gates."
" Master Sergeant, we have orders that you were assigned to a squad who was sent into Canterlot and was scheduled to check in by radio."
" I know that!" Blaze yelled.
"Then explain why you are here or you will be greeted by an artillery barrage."
" I already fucking told you! I have my Captain who is bleeding out in the back of my jeep right now!"
The radio fell silent for a few seconds until a different voice came on," Master Sergeant? This is the major general, you are clear to enter the base and medics will be on sight ready to receive the Captain."
Blaze's jeep reached the wall just a few seconds after the Major General had finished his sentence and the gate was quickly raised up allowing Blaze to race through the gate and into the staging area that was quickly filling up with armed Legion soldiers in full battle gear, the base's alarm was on and wailing loudly.
"Step out of the jeep!" A Legion soldier ordered Luna as he stepped up to the jeep and aimed a SCAR at her.
Luna quickly obeyed weaned was instantly forced to the ground and her hooves were tied and then was carried off to the base's holding cells. Blaze jumped out and threw the Royal Guard helmet off and yelled for the medics to get over to the jeep.
Two unicorns wearing lab coats ran over to the jeep levitating first aid kits and other medical tools," We need to get him to surgery now!" One them yelled and wrapped clean towels around his wound. The other medic gestured for two Legion soldier to come over to them, they carried a stretcher with them and then carefully lifted Wind onto the stretcher and then carried him off to the hospital.
Just as the medics and the two Legion soldiers carried Wind into the hospital Streak and Scripture rolled into the base in their jeep and stopped next to Blaze who was unstrapping the rest of the Royal Guard armor.
"Did they say how he's going to be?" Streak asked getting out of the jeep.
"All they did was take him into surgery, after that I don't know what's going on." Blaze said unstrapping the last bit of the armor and began to take his own armor and guns out of the jeep.
"Master Sergeant." The major general said walking up to Blaze," I need to speak with you for a bit."
" Yes sir. "Blaze said and put his armor and guns down and followed the Major General to the holding cells.
"What happened over there? I've never seen the Captain get so messed up." The Major General said.
"I honestly don't know sir." Blaze said opening the door to the building that contained the holding cells," we found Luna trying to help the Captain by our jeeps."
" And so you brought her with you?"
" I wasn't really interested in whether Luna was coming or not I was more worried about the Captain."
" that doesn't excuse you from bringing Celestia sister into Legion!" The Major General yelled and then calmed down opening a door into a dimly lit room," Sorry, but I just want you to be more careful with your choices."
" Yes sir, sorry sir." Blaze said walking into the room and saw a window and behind the window was Luna sitting at a table with her Hooves chained to the wall, a Legion soldier sat at the other side of the table and was questioning her.
"What are you doing here?" The soldier asked.
"Talking to you." Luna said dryly.
The soldier sighed," why did you run away from Canterlot?"
"because I'm a bad mare." Luna said smiling.
The soldier slammed his hooves on the table," stop playing these fucking games!"
" What games? I'm just answering your questions."
" That's enough soldier, get some coffee." The Major General said speaking into a microphone and then looked at Blaze," I think it be best if you were to talk to her for a bit, loosen her up."
" But I don't know what to ask." Blaze said as the soldier in the room with Luna walked out.
"Talk about her sister, we could always use more information about her."
Blaze sighed and then nodded and opened a second door leading to the other side of the window," Luna?"
" oh, hello. Moon Blaze right?" Luan said trying to stand up but the chain restricted her from doing so.
"Yeah, I've been sent in to talk to you." Blaze said walking over to the table.
"Talk or interrogate?" Luna asked eyeing him.
"Talk just to talk." Blaze said sitting down.
"Alright, talk about what?"
"Your sister?" Blaze offered.
"No." Luna said as her ears flattened in disgust.
" What?"
" I said no."
"Why not?"
" because I said no."
Blaze shuffled his front hooves," well perhaps it would help both of us."
" Yes it would help, it would help you and your army kill her but it won't help me."
Blaze sighed," Then what do you want to talk about?"
" I rather not talk; I just want to rest now." Luna said.
"I'm sorry but that not an option right now."
Luan sighed," Then I'll make it an option." She bowed her head so her born was touching her shackles, her horn then glowed and the shackles clacked open. She then stood up and walked over to the wall opposite of the wall.
Blaze watched in surprise as the Major General flipped a switch behind the window making a loud alarm go off and the room was instantly filled with three Legion guards wearing heavy riot gear. They quickly jumped Luna tackling her to the ground. They all strapped new shackles onto her hooves and one of them pulled what look like a collar and out it around Luna's neck.
"Get her out of here." The Major General ordered as he walked in the room.
The three soldiers saluted and dragged Luna off further into the building. The Major General walked over to Blaze and laughed slightly.
"She's a feisty one. So much for getting information."
" I think she just needs some friends right now." Blaze said.
"Well then it's going to be a long stay for her."
"Major General?" One of the unicorn medics that took Wind said walking in the room.
"Yes? How is he?"
"He has internal bleeding, several fractured bones, on broken rib, and he's lost a lot of blood but I expect him to pull through. He in the recovery room sleeping right now."
" He's alive!?" Blaze asked excitedly.
"Very much." The medic said smiling," I've done several operations on him before, he's tough pony."
Blaze sighed in relief and looked up," I'm glad hear he's going to be okay."
" You can see him now if you want, though he's probably still asleep."
"yes, let's go." The Major General said.
-
" Is he awake?" the medic asked a nurse sitting behind a counter.
"Last time I checked he was till out cold." The nurse said but she flinched as a loud crash came from down the hall followed by yelling.
"Please Captain you have to be still!"
" Fuck that! Get these damn tubes out of me!"
" apparently he's awake now." the medic said and then walked down the hall towards the crashes. A nurse stormed out of a room, she had food splattered over her face.
"Doctor please do something with him! I can't handle another day like this!" The nurse said walking by Blaze and the Major General.
"I'll take care of it." the medic said and walked into the being instantly greeted with a pillow smacking into his face.
"Hey! I thought I told you not to stick these damn tubes in me next time!" Wind yelled at the medic as he lay in a hospital bed with a cast around one leg, a heavy set of bandages around his stomach and chest, and IV tubes in his other leg.
"You need to calm down; you'll start the bleeding again."
"Get the damn tubes out and I'll calm down."
" I will guarantee that you will want those tubes to stay, they're giving you pain meds."
"Smartass." Wind muttered.
"Barbarian." the medic replied," It's good to have you back."
Wind smiled," It's good to be back."
"You bastard, you had me worried for a second." The Major General said walking in the room.
"Just doing my job." Wind said chuckling slightly and then cringed as a wage of pain shot through his chest.
"Take this." the medic said levitating a cup of water and two pills in front of him.
Wind took the pills and laid back sighing," Just another scar huh sir?"
" looks that way." The Major General said.
Wind sighed," at least I didn't lose anypony."
" Yes, that one good thing that came out of this. Has anypony mentioned to you that Luna came here with you?"
" No...she's really here?"
" Yes, but she in a holding cell right now, she tried to break out."
"sheesh, you don't break out of Legion. It just doesn't happen."
" Try telling her that." Blaze said walking in the room.
"Blaze, good to see you." Wind said smiling.
"Same here sir, I almost thought you weren't going to make it."
" Come on, we need to let him rest now." The medic said.
"No, it's fine I want them to stay." Wind said.
"He needs to rest i'll meet you out in the lobby."
Both the Major General and Blaze nodded and walked out and into the lobby smiling as they heard Wind go on another yelling rampage directed at the medic about letting them stay.
-
Luna sat on a cot and stared out of the bared window. She had just raised the moon and was surprised that Celestia was still allowing her to do so. She got up and walked over to the plate of food that was recently given to her. On it had a daisy sandwich, an apple, and some hay fries. A whole better than what the guards at Canterlot got and she was a prisoner.
"Luna! You got a visitor!" The soldier stationed outside her cell said.
"Princess." The Major General said nodding to her.
Luna nodded back," I'm not a princess anymore so please don't address me as such."
" Alright, Luna, do you want to tell me anything?"
" No."
" Are you sure?"
" Yes."
" then I'll just the information from Silent Wind."
" He's alive?"
" yes, he is in the recovery room right now."
" thank goodness."
" You've seem to have grown attached to him." The Major General said looking Luna over.
" Hardly!"
" Say what you want Luna, but just keep this in mind. He's part of Legion and could die at any time." The Major General said and walked out into the night. Luna leaned up against the wall and sighed in relief.
"You feel like going for a walk?" The soldier guarding Luna asked as he walked back to her cell.
" What do you mean?"
" All prisoners are allowed to walk around with their guards. It's kind of like a parole thing except you have to come back after thirty minutes." The soldier explained.
"Oh, no I'm fine." Luna said.
"Suit yourself." The Guard said and then walked away to his desk.
Luna watched him leave and then laid down on her bed pulling the covers over her. She slowly started to drift off to sleep as the guard sat at his desk playing cards. The guard was suddenly blown backwards hitting the wall behind him with a sickening crunch as the wall in from of him exploded. Luna eyes shot open as the blast temporary made her loose her hearing.
Four ponies came through the hole in the wall, walking over to Luna's cell as the base's alarms were activated. Luna watched them walk over to her cell door, all four of them had Legion armor on but they all had Royal Guard symbols etched onto their guns.
"you're sister has ordered your death." one of the ponies said and aimed a P90 at Luna who was staring wide eyed at them.
"Freeze!"
The four ponies swing around seeing several Legion soldiers standing at the wall, all of them were aiming at the four ponies," Pit your weapons down and come peacefully!"
" Kill them!" the pony who had pointed his gun at Luna yelled.
The night erupted as the sound of gunfire ripped through the sky. The four ponies had opened up first killing a Legion soldier, the Legion soldiers returned fire killing all but one of the ponies who was wounded as a bullet passed through his leg knocking him down.
"Get the medic!" a soldier yelled kneeling next to Luna's cell guard.
Another soldier walked over to Luna's cell and peered inside," You okay?"
" Yes." Luna said as the soldier unlocked the door.
"Get over to the hospital, it should be safe there."
Luna nodded and quickly ran through the wall and across the staging area. She spotted the large hospital building glistening in the moonlight and ran faster over to it.
As she reached the entrance she found that the doors were broken and were hanging by one hinge. She slowly walked inside and saw bodies of doctors, nurses, and patients laying everywhere in the lobby. Luna closed her eyes and then carefully stepped over the bodies and looked around. The hallways had the same ugly sight for her. Luna flinched as a crash and something that sounded like a groan coming from a room down the hall.
She quickly ran down the hall and looked into the room she thought held the noises. In the room she found Wind standing on his bed with an IV tube wrapped around a Royal Guard spy, Wind was pulling the tube back further and further making it tighter around the spy's neck.
Wind continued to strangle the spy until he stopped kicking and making noises. Wind then dropped the tube and took the needle out of his leg. He limped off the bed and tried putting his broken leg back into the sling but cringed as pain shot through it.
"What are you doing here?" Wind asked.
Luna kept silent and pointed at Wind side and stomach wound. Wind looked down and saw that his wound had reopened and was turning the bandages red at a fast rate.
"Shit." Wind said and passed out dropping to the floor in front of Luna.
Author notes: yes all of that happened; to be honest I'm tired of writing information filler chapters. Lol so I'm going to try and fit some action in the next chapters, hopefully they turn out to be good. Also sorry for not being able to focus more on Scripture and Streak ill try to get them some more action time next chapter. Leave a review to show some love. Im off to go sleep in Spanish class.
