Solaris put his shardblade away and stepped closer with sad eyes.

"I know. I had to watch as my dear friends cried and lamented and in some cases broke." He looked at the ground.

"I almost didn't make it. I was poisoned with Atropa Belladonna or 'Deadly Nightshade.' Some Equestrian spies found my body dumped somewhere outside of Canterlot and did their best to revive me."

More of the plates on his body moved to reveal his upperbody, showing a coatless portion of his chest covered in greyed dying flesh. They closed back up soon after.

"By the time I awoke my funeral was already over... and Shortfuse had already seized the government."

Nova looked astonished at the revelation. "Why didn't you come out and say something instead of all of this killing?! If you had come out to the public something could have been done!" He looked almost angry at the knight. He stomped his hoof and put his claws away. "This is.. How am I supposed to explain this?"
"Maybe... It's time to forget..."

"It goes far far deeper than that." Solaris said looking back up to Nova.

"Do you remember Hooftington? During the war? It was wiped from existence by way of some magic substance called Balefire. Now, the one who orchestrated that attack plans to do so with all of Equestria. Maybe not by the same means but he does want Equestria gone. His name is Alpha Protocol... and right now hes operating out in the open because he thinks I'm dead. If I were to reappear we might have delayed all this for a while but he'd try to kill me again and next time it might have actually worked."

Nova shook that off for now and moved on to another topic. "W-Well where's the princess?" He asks. "When you took her, where did you bring her? Somewhere safe, obviously but, the country is in panic over this, Solaris."

"Do you think I don't know that?" Solaris asked incredulously.

"The Princess was attacked a few days after my funeral, betrayed by one of her Duskblades that work for Shortfuse. I can't tell you -where- she is but yes, shes safe. I can arrange a meeting if you want proof." He said taking a step or two back.

"The problem is I cannot bring her out into the public. Shortfuse has far far too many agents to risk it. I don't know who to trust! If theres anyone at all to still trust." He sighed frustratingly.

"The plan was to keep the Princess safe until I know we can protect her in the open. Then let her do what needs to be done."

Nova was finding this all difficult to take in. "Solaris... This is... You're talking like there's going to be a war or something." He says, looking worried. "And I don't know what I'm going to tell my superiors about this. I don't know if this is something I should keep to myself..."

"I understand. But you have to keep this a secret." Solaris said looking away a moment.

"Just one mistake can get the Princess killed. Just one mistake can undo my work and deliver Equestria to Alpha's hooves. I have very few allies, Nova. Five. Five is all the ponies I have working with me, not counting you."

"You said I'm talking like there is a war? Well, there might be. A civil war. Without the Princess it'd just be chaotic rabble and then Alpha gets what he wants."

"But what does he want?" Nova asks. "What's his endgoal? You've got to know that at least." He was trying to make sense of the whole operation, but had a feeling that he wouldn't be learning all of the story right this moment. "And, what can I do to help you? There's gotta be something someone like me can do on the inside.

"This is going to sound crazy, but its all true. Equestrian intelligence has an inside agent working with Alpha. Alpha Protocol is empowered by a Zebrican god, his body isn't real its made of Balefire and when he dies he explodes, vaporizing everything around him. The troubling part is that no matter how many times he dies he always comes back." Solaris said looking serious.

"His goal is the destruction of Equestria, because that is what this 'god' wants. He plans on ripping Equestria apart: He has a brainwashed team of Crystal Empire special forces at his command. Hes playing Shortfuse like a violin and hes allied himself with the crimelord Clandestine." he paused "Remember those Diamond Dogs You helped me get rid of about two weeks before I 'died?' Alpha put them up to attack us. You read about that Mercenary army that the small Whinnish army fought against in eastern Equestria? Clandestine paid them too attack Canterlot."

"Even the war of the triple alliance! This Zebrican god has time and time again used its agents to try and destroy Equestria." He let out a breath hoping Nova understood.

"What you can do for me is simple. The Princesses are missing and I don't know why or where. Try to find them."

Nova had to process all of this, but he couldn't take long, otherwise his team would either come back in, or leave without him. "That's..." He started but didn't want to press the issue. Though it was difficult to accept that one pony was responsible for all of those events. It sounded like something out of a movie, or a book.

"That's asking me to wander off the reservation a bit..." He said. He couldn't exactly go off looking for the missing princesses on his own. He had duties, orders, what would happen if he wound up abandoning his station and his team?

"I know Nova." Solaris said nodding "I have contacts in Equestrian intelligence. What if they fed info to your C.O about potential locations where the Princesses might have gone missing? They would mobilize you then, yes? Especially if they request your unit?" Solaris asked raising his chin a bit.

"If you can find the Princesses or evidence that Shortfuse or anyone took them it would bring this crisis to a very swift end."

"That might work." Nova said. "I'll look for as much as I can..." Now it seemed he had a new mission. Find the princesses or any link to Shortfuse. There had to be some sort of trail to follow. "Well, now we have another issue... I can't just let you walk out of here... I mean, not without some scars to show for it... Someone would get suspicious."

Archon's armor began to close up, the helmet closing around Solaris' head and the golden eyes reappeared with the magically distorted voice.

"Eclipse!" The shardblade from before formed in Solaris' magic and immediately he set off to assault Nova swarming him with a set of quick, painful but ultimately non-lethal slashes and stabs.

The assault was barely expected. Nova only had enough time to guard himself and take the painful hits. But the pain was nothing he couldn't deal with. He looked up at Solaris, blood now starting to drip from his new wounds. "... Ow..."

Archon impassively made his way out of the warehouse. "Your squad will be returning soon, I better make my leave." He said reaching the door.

"Good luck in your search."
