"Morgan, now isn't the time to "Play" with them." You say a little irritated with her. "But daddy." Morgan pleaded like a child. "No butts missy. You are not to play with them. Celestia, I hope you know what's going on right now." You say. "She wants to play with the fighters?" Celestia asked. "To Morgan, play means fight, she wants to destroy them, which is why she's here with me, to keep her from destroying the ones who make her angry, which isn't terribly hard to do." You say as Morgan pouts a little and the two other plane ponies in the room gradually get their comfort level back. "Well, is this all you need from me Princess?" you ask. "That shall be all for today Anon. be back here the same time tomorrow. We shall discuss a few more "friendly" methods of you keeping the peace for your nation." Celestia said as you nod. "Right, tomorrow, so where am I staying?" You ask hoping Celestia planned ahead for that. "Well, I shall be staying with Princess Cadence, I'm sure she can accomodate you as well." Celestia said. "What about my friends? I"m not going to leave them out in the cold." You say not wanting to leave them all out exposed to the elements. "I thought you'd say that. I had Cadence modify an old factory building." Celestia said. "Is it at least heated?" You ask knowing Thunderbolt doesn't really like the cold. "You would have to ask Cadence. I hope you don't mind sharing with my two air guards." Celestia said. "As long as they don't get in our way." You say as Morgan's still pouting a little. "That won't be a problem Rex, just as long as you don't get stepped on." Razorback said as that was Morgan's cue to speak up. "Nobody steps on my dad. I'll make sure of that." Morgan said as she backed Razorback up to a wall before leaving, her own frustration getting the better of her. "Morgan! Wait a second!" You yell after her. "I need some air, I'll find your beacon later." Morgan said as she started to run from the building. "God damned it. If anyone needs me I'll be at the hangar." You say as Celestia stares angrily at Razorback. "What'd I say?" Razorback said as you left. When you clear the buildings you pull out radio and flip it open. "Thunderbolt." You say "Yea?" "Morgan's out on a flight. Somebody happened to go and piss her off." You say as you hear the sound of metallic hooves on the road. To your surprise it's Morgan. "Morgan?" you say rather confused. "Dad, can we go talk somewhere?" Morgan asked. "You know we can always talk Morgan. I'm your dad despite what anyone says." You say as she smiles lightly. "I know, I.. I just wanted to apologize for overreacting in there." Morgan said almost leaping on you and started to cry. "Shh, shhh, it's alright Morgan. It's alright. You're still just a kid. I know I treat you like a big girl, that's because you act like it." You say "Morgan, it will be alright. Trust me, it will be ok. It will be alright." You say as you crawl out from the gap she had you trapped in. "Thanks dad. So I didn't make too big of a scene in there did I?" Morgan asked. "Well, let's just say, the next time you see Razorback, scare the crap outta him for me. Won't be difficult." You say as Morgan giggles a little. "There's something else I wanted to ask too." Morgan said as she puts you on her back and starts to walk around the city so neither of you would be found. "Go ahead and ask Morgan." You say knowing it probably won't be that bad. "Would it be too much trouble if I had a little brother or sister?" Morgan asked through her link. "Like adopted or related to you?" You ask scrunching your face. "Related to me." Morgan said as you're now wondering why. "So you have someone to play with and not destroy?" You say as Morgan nods, and then the both of you look up to the sky to see the radar display in your eyes and three fast movers coming towards you. "What are they?" Morgan asked. "Starfighters. Morgan, it's go time." you say as she opens her cockpit allowing you to enter. "Wait, it looks like Skybreaker, Raptor, Nora and Lightning caught them. Maybe that's who they were going after." Morgan said. "True but explain the pegasai around us?" You say "Mach 1?" Morgan asked as you're both smiling. "Yea, mind if I take control?" You ask, as Morgan nods letting you know you're in control now. "Catch us, if you can." The two of you say in a super playful manner as you run down the road before peeling off into the sky, leaving contrails off Morgan's wingtips the entire way.   About the time you were surrounded, outside of the meeting room "Guess I better watch what I say eh Princess?" Razorback said as both Celestia and Cadence were staring off into the distance, for both Razorback and Foxhound to look in the same direction to see the contrails being left by Morgan as you were twisting her through the sky. "Ain't that a sight Princess." Razorback said as he was marveling at Morgan's maneuverability. "Yes, and she's off limits Razorback." Cadence said. "Whaddya mean off limits?" Razorback asked. "You hurt her even a little, you'll end up a scrap pile, I can tell you that much. Rex will do more than just bash you head in. That is if there's anything left after Morgan gets through with you." Cadence said knowing about how much the you and Morgan loved eachother. "Well, she's still pretty." Razorback said as it was Celestia's turn to give an order. "Go see what the crystal pegasai are chasing and call off those Starfighters before one of Anon's escorts shoots them down." Celestia said prompting Razorback to take off and investigate. 1400hrs. Skies above the Crystal Empire. "Well, ain't this a whole bunch of fun Morgan?" You say as the two of you are evading the pegasai with ease. "Yea, you see that other blip?" "Yea, keepin it behind us." You say as you keep the blip in the zone where it will do no damage to Morgan, regardless what weapon it uses.   Five minutes later the F-104s are breaking away from you and returning to the ground, You and Morgan are up with the rest of the group, with the exception of Echo and Thunderbolt. "They're turning tail, let them run back to their home." You say as it's your group's turn to go to ground. "Well, looks like you all can handle yourselves against Cadence's air guard. Hate to see what would happen when you mean it." Razorback said as Morgan twitched at the controls trying to take them back from you. "Still angry? Good, wait until we sack out for the night." You say through the connection to her. "Is that when?" Morgan asked as she smiled, you may be in control of her flight, but she still has control over her face. You nod slightly to agree with her. "Show us where our landing strip is big boy." Raptor said trying to intimidate him. "Well follow me." Razorback said. Razorback lead you to the makeshift landing strip they had. Makeshift was a word for it, it had punctured steel plate runways and taxiways out in the middle of a field leading to a whole bunch of modified factory buildings.   "Well, it's not Avalon's Shadow, but I guess it will work. Those Starfighters stationed here?" You ask as you crawl out from Morgan's cockpit. "How'd you?" Razorback asked a little confused as to how got there so quickly. "You honestly thought I walked?" You say as Morgan smiles a little an the other three of your group come down from the skies. "Well, I thought you'd be with one of the others." Razorback said "Morgan was having a "issue" I needed to help." You say as you slide off of her "Dad, those Starfighters are here too. Check the hangar." Morgan said pointing to their building. "Ah, well, lets go before they decide to have a fit about us." You say as Razorback leads you towards the building that's to be your temporary hangar. "Well, the nine of you will be sharing with me and Foxhound, but he's on duty tonight." Razorback said as he went and found a bed to crash on. "Well, it's not as comfortable or as cozy as our homes, but it'll work." Thunderbolt said as it was her turn to carry you around. "Well, I haven't seen your homes, I've seen some of the ones in Canterlot though, there's a C-5 who's got a pretty nice place out there." Razorback said as there's only one C-5 that you know that runs from Canterlot to Avalon Territory. Galactus. "So why you with Celestia? Most planes go to Avalon Territory to be with own kind." Skybreaker asked curious as to why this pony lived with the more squishy and magical ponies. "That? Of all the things you could possibly ask, you ask why do I live with ponies?" Razorback asked with a slight laugh in his voice. "I curious is all." Skybreaker said as she was embarrassed by his reaction. "Na, it's fine, I honestly don't get asked that all the time, it's more of you're a freak, even for them" Razorback said "You know she found me battered and hiding in a barn out near Ponyville. She took me in, treated my wounds sustained from rock throwing ponies, and gave me the job I have today. Protecting the skies" Razorback said as Thunderbolt showed you the pictures of the city she had taken. "Well, having rocks thrown at you isn't nearly as bad as being jailed because you had no control over the craft you were flying when you got here." You say giving him a nod to your own history "So, those stories about you are true. I'm sorry you had to go through that." Razorback said "You have no idea. But leave the past where it lies. I buried parts for reasons only I know where I hid them." You say as you're still looking though Thunder's pictures "Still, must have been hell." Razorback said. "You don't even want to know." You say turning to face him. "I've seen other humans in Canterlot. They don't seem nearly as annoyed as you. They praise Celestia and a few select ponies" Razorback said as you feel it's time to drop a point. "Let me ask you this. Are they doing that of their own free will, or are they slaves to them? Normally a man chooses, a slave's only option is to obey." You say getting him to shut up and think, as you know, a few of your fellow humans are slaves to their "waifus" and believe Celestia to be their god, not you, You have your own set of values, you knew about all this, but never fully immersed yourself into it You look out to the sun, which is now setting. "Now's the time Morgan." You say silently. "Razorback?" Morgan said with as much sweetness as she could muster. "Yea?" Razorback said. "You better hope Foxhound's radar can see through walls, even then, through ECM." Morgan said letting her anger get the better of her for this one making Razorback freeze for a solid minute before responding to her. "I hope you can withstand a laser." Razorback said "Microwave laser yes, that won't be difficult. If you can avoid a chemical laser I'll be impressed." Morgan said "Well, I'd like to see you shake off a missile." Razorback said as something did blow up outside of Morgan's shielding. One of the Starfighters fired a sidewinder into the hangar at her, only to have it detonate harmlessly away from her and everyone else. "Anything else you want me to do? Like obliterate those 104 ponies?" Morgan said as the ones who attacked her ran away. "No, that's proof enough the rumors about you are true Morgan. Don't got to worry about me." Razorback said making Morgan smile, knowing there's one less fighter to go after her if shit hits the fan, even her one weakness is still hidden. "Very well then. Daddy? About earlier?" Morgan asked. "I'll see what I can do." you say with a smile on your face. Everyone else is confused as to what she's talking about, where as you're on your phone searching through old blueprints from where you worked, and you're finding a few that might just be related to Morgan. ADF-01, something only rumored to exist, and more secretive than ADFX-02 back where you were from. "Anon, what's she talking about?" Thunderbolt asked only for you to smile. "I need a blueprint and materials that are all in Avalon's Shadow." You say as you hope that was enough information for her. "Did she ask for a sibling?" Thunderbolt whispered to you. You nod to which Morgan comes and walks up to the two of you. "Whatcha talkin about?" She asked as you just laugh. "Morgan, you already know what we were talking about. Don't you?" You say as she nods and giggles. "Yea, still not as good as you daddy." Morgan said as you laugh and shake your head. "Don't think I'll ever get your sense of humor." You say as Morgan laughs a little. "Well, it's getting kinda late for us, and that meeting went far too long. I think it's time for us to rest." You say as you go and attempt to find something to eat. "Right Rex, we'll rest for the night. What time do you think we'll be going home tomorrow?" Echo asked. "Hell if I know Echo. Just try not to tangle with the starfighters again." You say as you rummage around and find something that a normal pony would eat, that's not grass related. "Right, good night boss." Echo said as she found a bed large enough for her to lie down comfortably and still be able to use her radar. "Right, I'll try not to let those bricks catch me again." Raptor said as you just laugh a little to yourself. "Well good night y'all. Hope tomorrow goes well." You say as you found something to eat before going to bed next to Thunderbolt.   0945 Hrs Crystal city, 15 minutes before day two of the meeting. "Morgan, try not to you know, be so short tempered today?" You say as the two of you sit in the meeting room, alone. "Well, if it gets too bad, I'll just go inside of your head. I can't do much harm there can I?" Morgan said as she did have a point, she doesn't know how to control you, where as you could control her. "Guess you have a point, just as long as you don't try to take over me." You say making that clear to her. "Alright, if I do, I'm just going for the ride, not trying to fly." Morgan said making you smile a little. When it came time for the meeting Celestia was not in the building, nor were her guards. It was a different Princess that came to speak to you. "Forgive my auntie, she's having a little bit of trouble today." she said as you give her a confused look "You are?" You ask "Princess Cadence. Princess Celestia may postpone the meeting to another day." Cadence said as you are still confused.
