"No need to worry, Ah'll have the first watch." Frost Bite answered joining the rest of the group. "Ya'll get some rest now, Ah ain't sleepy anyway." He opened up his saddle bag and begin scribbling in his journal.

Noticing last minute that the new arrivals were, in fact, a Unicorn mare and a small Earth pony filly, Nimbus twists himself mid-air and flips up and over them before steadying himself.
"What they hay? Where did you two come from?" Nimbus shouted, clearly shaken at nearly attacking two innocent ponies.
Before they could answer, the filly lets out a scream which causes Nimbus to turn around. All he saw was a white flash before he blacked out.
*Hours before*
Panting with exhaustion, the last of the creatures fell to the ground, its eyes or whatever constituted as eyes were rolling in their sockets in a comedic fashion. Spitting out the sword, Nimbus mumbled something about it not being sharp enough to cut butter, before he looked around for another weapon of some kind. He had his two hidden hoof blades but that was up close and personal work, something ill suited for these creatures. Finding a hardy branch, Nimbus clutched it and trotted down to what remained of the front gates of his section of the wall.
Stopping in horror, Nimbus saw dozens of ponies trapped within green pods of some kind. Inspecting them closer, Nimbus saw one of his fellow guards pony breathing, but unconscious. 'Good, at least they're alive.' he thought looking around. Suddenly a bi-toned voice rang out across Canterlot. Judging by the direction, the voice came from the castle. Gulping, Nimbus readied himself for take off when he spotted a hoof waving to him. Cautiously approaching, Nimbus found a tan Earth pony waving him over. Nimbus took two steps before he was pounced upon. Struggling, somepony splashed a clear, smelly liquid on him. From all the grunting, he made out the phrase "Looks like he's the real deal. Let 'em up."
"That better not stain my armor." Nimbus said threateningly to a Unicorn whom he recognize as one belonging to one of Celestia's higher courts. Before he could muster another word, a hoof was shoved into his mouth and he was forced down one more. He was about to struggle until he noticed the fear in their eyes as they scanned the sky. Looking up, Nimbus saw dozens, upon dozens of those things buzzing through the sky, clearly searching for more ponies.
Looking into the Unicorn's eyes which seem to say "Let's get out of here!" Nimbus solemnly nodded and followed the group out past the wall and into the countryside.
*In the present*
Nimbus shook himself of the stars that seemed to pop in his face and saw what had hit him. A small convoy of the creatures were dragging away a Pegasus with what appeared to be a chain. Ignoring the throbbing pain and the shouts of the others, Nimbus dragged himself on to his hooves and dusted off, flying at high speed. Its one thing to attack him behind his back, its another to take a fellow Pegasus to Celestia knows where.
"OI! UGLY!" Nimbus shouted seconds before colliding with the creature who had attacked him.

((Sure thing Rune))
Once Nimbus was far from the commotion, he landed in a nearby park and tried to cool his hot head. 'Well that was really rude Nim. Maybe you should go back an apologize. Then again, it wasn't really your fault for being angry with them. Who in their right mind erects a force field in the middle of nowhere?!' Huffing, Nimbus trotted over to a park bench and sat down for a spell enjoying the quite serine of the location. Not too many ponies walked through here except the old folk. He looked up and spotted two old Unicorns in a heated debate about somepony named Trixie.
Smiling, Nimbus dug into his bags and pulled out the scrap of parchment he always carried and began to jot down his thoughts on today's events:

Journal entry Number 20
Today was the same old same old: waking up, breakfast, running late to work, work, a short break for lunch then more work. Today's sales weren't stellar, then again when are they ever? If Rockerz keeps obsessing with perfection, he'll never sell another one of his chairs. I think Lockerz is getting annoyed by his younger brother. Kinda caught it when he told me to go get my day's pay from him. Weirdest thing though, after work I was on my way to the new hay-burger place...what's it called? Bab's Best Burgers? I don't know, some chain thing, anyway off topic. I ran into this rather large group of ponies arguing in the middle of the street. What was weirder was that there was a force field erected around them. That's something you don't see every day.

((I'll pick up on the letter plot Rune))
Rounding the corner, Nimbus giggled joyfully at the prospect of his shift's end. All he could think about was the new hay-burger place that opened up in the suburbs of Ponyville. He could almost taste the fried hay and the triple decker- "GAH!"
Rubbing his muzzle, Nimbus opened a teary eye to see several arguing ponies standing around with what appeared to be a force field erected around them. Looking around the floor, Nimbus spotted his belongings scattered on the ground.
"Oi! What gives?" he shouted scooping up his book, a letter, some parchment and his bit bag, "Never mind, not my problem any how." He finished rather rudely and took off, flying past a brown Pegasus who seemed to be descending on the group.

The rhythmic ticking of the clock was muffled by the thud of Nimbus' head upon the desk. No customers had shown up in, well what felt like ages. So instead of doing something productive like reading, he thudded his head against the desk.
A sudden rapping on the desk brought him to his senses and he looked up into the eyes of his boss Locker.
"Nim seriously, if you don't like this job you should apply else where." he muttered shaking his head.
"Eh, you know me. Too lazy to apply anywhere else." He smiled sheepishly.
"Well whatever, your shift is up now. Go collect your pay from Rocker and you can go." he replied walking back to his office.
Quickly trotting from behind the desk, he headed to the back room where Rocker was busy building rocking chairs. Without looking up at him, Rocker dropped a hefty bag of bits and continued his work. Nimbus grabbed the bag, stuffed it into his own and flew out the door thinking 'Yes! Time for some fun!'

Contemplating for a moment, Nimbus looked back to Panacea and said "Hmm I take it you wouldn't want something too strong but strong enough to take the edge off?"

Nimbus finished his drink faster than he wanted to and returned to the bar to refresh himself. While walking over, he spotted an unsure mare sitting at the bar. Setting his drink down, he looked over and ask "Care for a recommendation?"

While munching on peanuts, Nimbus hears the tell tail sound of glass sliding upon polished wood. Looking down, he spots an old fashion glass; its contents contained a mushed up combination of an orange and lemon wedge, two cherries, and all this swirled in a concoction of whiskey and bitters. Delicately lifting it up to his nose, the fragrance of the bitters and whiskey excite his taste buds. Swirling once, he takes a small sip and enjoys the fruity taste and ran from the burn of the whiskey. Smacking his lips in pleasure, Nimbus tossed down a handful of bits and walked off to a lone booth to enjoy his drink.

"Five bits." Nimbus stated lazily as a customer trotted up to the desk. After depositing the bits, Nimbus, without looking, stretched out his wing, hooked one of the many rings with a single key and handed it with practice ease to the customer finishing the display with "You're locker is #207, have a nice day." Then his wing descended down and flipped the book that was propped up on the desk. Even though he had been working at the Lockers n' Rockers shop, which oddly enough was out of rocking chairs, Nimbus had memorized all the key hook numbers and after a few days of practice was able to hand them to the customers without looking.
Snorting, Nimbus shut the book and hurried his face in his hooves. "Just twenty more minutes." He told himself as he peaked up at the clock. To his dismay the clock told him he had thirty minutes.

Continuing the march, Nimbus is finally able to catch his breath and allowed some time to think about what occurred when a sudden flash blinded him.
*Hours before*
Feeling like someone hit him with a sack of junk, Nimbus gets shakily to his hooves. A warm sensation just above his right eye reveals a deep gash. Putting a hoof up to stanch the bleeding, he tries to remember what had happened. He could recall these strange fireballs crashing down. He looked around and saw the guard post he and Taters occupied was completely destroyed. Suddenly it occurred to him.
"Tater!" he shouted shifting through the rubble.
After a moment of searching, he came across her lifeless corpse. Crushed under a beam that had given way to the falling objects. Nimbus tried to dig her out but strange chattering noises stopped him in his tracks. All around him, odd black creatures were emerging. Each one had a salivating maw which oozed out a thick and slimy secretion. Gulping, Nimbus drew out his sword and readied himself. Something told him these creatures wouldn't allow him a moment to despair over his friend.
*In the present*
Blinking away the spots in his eyes, Nimbus shouted to everypony to stand clear. Slamming his hooves down, Nimbus reared up and revealed two deadly looking blades that protrudes from his vambraces. Charging forward, ignoring the calls of the others, Nimbus only just realized that he was charging down two ponies.

Opening up the door, Nimbus strolls into the bar and takes a seat. He raps on the counter twice with his hoof saying "Barkeep, I would like an Old Fashion, make it a double. Maker's Mark if you have it." He eyes the other patrons of the bar, two indecisive ponies and a third louder one asking for cider. Smirking, he helps himself to a bowl of peanuts, waiting for the barpony to serve him his drink.

Far on the outskirts Nimbus, along with a few survivors, stop a moment to catch their breath. Breathing hard and fast, Nimbus recalls the sudden attack of the Changeling swarm.
*hours before*
"Ugh, I hate guard duty." Nimbus moaned as he stared bleakly out at the palace walls.
"Heh, you're the one that switched with Lemon Drop." Tater Spuds muttered sleepily as she leaned against the wall.
Mumbling in frustration, Nimbus walked over to her and kicked out the stool from under. Nimbus began laughing, as she gasped in surprise.
Nimbus readied for a retaliating blow from her, but nothing came. Instead of anger, her face was plastered with shock and fear. Trailing her gaze, Nimbus spotted numerous elderich fireballs streaking down at them.
*back to the present*
"Ok everypony, that's enough of a breather. Let's keep moving!" Nimbus shouted and started the slow march to Ponyville.
