> My Little Strawhat > by edwinflores428 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 - Arrival > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was an ordinary day in Ponyville, within the library unicorn Twilight Sparkle was working on a new teleportation spell that Princess Celestia sent that would teleport whole buildings and the ponies inside them without any family moving to a new town from their home. "Come on Twi you can do it!" as Spike, the baby dragon (and self-proclaimed #1 assistant I might add), cheered on the purple unicorn. "I'm …trying….this..spell..takes a..lot of..magic" clearly the spell itself was becoming a daunting task as sweat beads across her face. Straining to accomplish such a spell (plus the fear of failing the princess) she channeled all of her magic she has in herself when she created a huge blinding light that knocked Spike off his feet and left Twilight slightly unconscious. "Twilight!!! Are you okay!?" as the worried baby dragon asked. "I'm fine, did it work?" as the weakly unicorn asked. "I'm not sure, let's check outside" Spike replied As the duo went outside to the town, with Twilight starting to get disappointed about her spell, they came across the very hyperactive pink pony Pinkie Pie. "Hey Twilight, you okay? You look really tired. Maybe one of my cupcakes can help, or maybe just regular cake, what's your favorite cake…" as Pinkie rambled on, while Spike and Twilight just prepared to walk away, suddenly Pinkie's tail started twitching like mad. "My Pinkie sense!! And a twitchy tail at that! Must be something big, huge even, falling out of the sky!!" Twilight, knowing full and well about the Pinkie sense and to never question it, looked up at to the sky to see what's was falling and sure enough she spotted something. She couldn't make out what was it at first but as it fell, she could hear faint screaming. She couldn't believe it, but it looked as if it was a ship! "Twilight! Twilight! Are you seeing this!!??" as Rainbow Dash, the cyan pegasi rushed to Twilight's location. "A ship is falling over Ponyville!! I saw it appear out of nowhere on a cloud I was resting on!" "I can't believe it, up there on the ship, it looks like the legendary creatures that existed thousands of years ago! HUMANS!!" Meanwhile up in the air, as the ship fell, it wasn't just any old ship, it was the Thousand Sunny, the pirate ship of the Straw Hat pirates. And it was falling from over 8,000 ft in the sky. Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Brook are holding for dear life; Franky takes the helm and trys to steer the ship so it won't take too much damage. Zoro and Robin are simple laid back (even though she has her arms holding her down to the ship; Sanji, the pervert that he is, trys to lock arms with Nami or Robin only to be hit by a rogue cannonball. While Luffy, he just has that huge grin on his face knowing full well that they're heading towards another huge adventure. "Dammit Luffy!!! Why did you steer us into that light when I specifically told you not too!" yelled Nami "Nami-san!! Robin-chan I've got you!!" "Bonk!!!" Sanji reached for Nami only to be hit by another cannonball. "We might not survive this fall and die, oh, but I'm already dead, yohohohoho!" "Now's not the time for jokes Brook!! What if Chopper might die since he's so small?" Ussop yells "What did you just say?! You jerk!" cried Chopper. "We might meet some tough competition once we land huh, right Number 7?" How can you be still on that, we just left Punk Hazard!!!" As Zoro and Sanji immediately start arguing. "We might see some interesting creature here, I believe I saw some pegasi close by" as Robin calmly said. "Pegasi? Oh this is going to be fun!! And relax guys we've all fell from huge heights before! Besides I'm a rubberman so I'll be fine!" as Luffy just said with great enthusiasm. "That's fine and all but how are we and the Sunny gonna survive this SUPER great fall, despite the Adam wood?" as cyborg Franky exclaimed. "Oh that's easy, GEAR THIRD!!!" Luffy soon bites on his lip and blows. Meanwhile back on land, "It's heading straight for us! Run, it might destroy some buildings! Hurry!" as the entire town is in great panic. "Save the fillies!" one pony yelled, "save our homes!!" Yelled another "Save my Muffins!!" as one cross-eyed Pegasus cried. "Maybe I can slow it down with my magic" as Twilight prepared to do her spell, "No wait, one of those human-things is doing something" as Spike pointed out. "All right I'm under the Sunny, GOMU GOMU NO……GIANT BALLOON!!!!" Luffy then puffed up like a great big balloon and just as the ship landed, Luffy's rubber flesh cushioned the blow enough that the whole crew landed unscathed (except for Chopper who passed out cold). AS the dust settled, it's revealed that the Sunny landed right in front of the library. "Yeah!!!" as Luffy appeared on top of the lion figurehead "We're here!!!! Uh Nami where are we exactly?" > Chapter 2 - Introductions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “So Nami where are we?” asked Luffy as he scanned the land surrounding the Thousand Sunny. As the crew gained their bearings, one thing that everyone noticed was that there was no body of water for miles around. “Gee Luffy, let me check, oops I guess we landed in a land WE’VE NEVER FREAKING BEEN BEFORE!!!” as Nami scowled at Luffy. “Oi everyone! There’s no sea for miles, just pure land, you think we’ve landed on the Red Line?” as Sanji asked. “I don’t think so, the Red Line is over 10,000 ft high and the air here isn’t thin” as Robin commented. “sigh, how did we end up in this mess in the first place?” as Nami sighed. XXXX *Flashback* The Straw-hat crew on their way to Green-Bit/Dressrosa, as Trafalgar Law, Momonosuke and Kin’emon (with Ceasar Clown as their hostage) splits from the crew so that they may rendezvous with the Heart Pirates. “So you’ll understand the plan, right. Once we meet back at Dressrosa, the phase on taking down Kaido will begin” as Law begins to depart. “No problem Law-san. Once we get there we’ll mess things up a whole lot!” as Luffy smiled. Law simply sighed “Very well then, we’ll meet again in a few hours” “Bye Law-san!!” But something caught Luffy’s eye once Law’s team was out of sight, a bright light that seems to draw in Luffy as a bug to a bug zapper. “OOOHHHH, what’s that?” Chopper asked. “The log pose doesn’t seem to point there, I think we should avoid…” “Alright Franky, head on over there with a Coup de Burst!!” “Aye, Aye, COUP DE BURST!!” And with that, the Thousand Sunny blasted off into the mysterious light which then increased its intensity that blinded the Straw-hat crew. But once their eyes adjusted to the light, Usopp made the mistake of looking off of the boat “Oh, we’re in the sky…… WE’RE IN THE SKY!?” Which then brings us to the present situation of the crew landing in front of the library. XXXX “Ahoy!!! Is there anyone out there in this town?!” as Luffy yelled. The one by one, the ponies that inhabit the land come out of hiding, yet still fearful of the strange creatures that had crash landed onto their land. “A-are you going to eat us or destroy our forests and homes?” as Fluttershy carefully asked the pirates. “Now in the world would we do that? We just arrived and they’re already afraid of us!” as Usopp exclaimed. “Now hold on Fluttershy, we should properly introduce ourselves and let them explain how in Celestia they got here and who they are.” One by one, the crew jumped off the ship and landed right by the docking system, with Franky doing his signature pose. “I’m Monkey D. Luffy, I’m going to be King of the Pirates!” “That’s too much information (slaps Luffy), I don’t want a repeat of Punk Hazard! Anyway, I’m Usopp, pro-sniper and first-mate!” “I’m Namizou, but you can call me Nami for short.” “The name’s is Roronoa Zoro, the next strongest swordsman” “I’m Sanji, the ships master cook” “I’m Chopper! The ship’s doctor” “Aww, it’s a cute little raccoon-dog” said Rarity. “OI, I’M A REINDEER!! CAN’T YOU TELL BE THE ANTLERS?!!.....Wait cute? *blushes* (commence happy dance) CALLING ME CUTE WON’T MAKE ME THE LEAST BIT HAPPY YOU JERKS!” “Gyyaa! How’s this skeleton still alive!!?” as AppleJack exclaimed. “YOHOHOHOHO! I’m ‘Soul King’ Brook! The greatest musician to hit your beautiful land” “I’m Nico Robin, but please just call me Robin” “This human look smart, and so does that Nami” Twilight said to herself. “WOW!” as Rainbow Dash yelled with sparkles in her eyes. “That’s right I am ARMORED FRANKY!!! But just call me Franky, I am a SUPER cyborg” (strikes signature pose) “And we that we are the Straw-hat pirates!!” exclaimed Luffy. > Chapter 3 - The Mane Six > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The inhabitants of the land Equestria were amazed of what landed in their fair town of Ponyville. Humans and pirates no less with their massive ship known as the Thousand Sunny, now that the Straw-hat crew led by Monkey D. Luffy (a man who ate the cursed the Gum-Gum Fruit), Twilight Sparkle felt like she had an obligation to both start introducing themselves and send a letter to Princess Celestia to inform her of the situation. Meanwhile in the background, a hyper excited aquamarine colored unicorn, is completely being up in her face to her best friend; any-who back to story! “*ahem* My name is Twilight Sparkle, personal student to Princess Celestia and bearer of the element of magic, it a great pleasure to meet you ‘people’” “That’s a bit to formal Twi, I’m Spike, a baby dragon and her assistant” as the purple dragon spoke. “A dragon huh? Hey Zoro, do you think this dragon is related to the one you killed!?” “I don’t think so, that thing was red and pretty stupid, this little thing is too cute.” Spike merely cowerd in fear to the mere though that these people were able to take down one of the most ferocious creatures of the land, but being able to take down a dragon caught the interest of one very shy Pegasus. “I-I’m Fluttershy, so you people must be really strong?” “Yeah, that’s right! We take on a ton of strong people!” Luffy exclaimed. “We’ll you fashion sense sure suggests it, I’m Rarity I’ll find a way to make you look FABULOUS!!” “At least we’ll get a change of clothes in this world” Nami said. “So if you’re strong that means you’re fast, I’m Rainbow Dash, the fastest Pegasus in all of Equestria!! “We’ll then, I’ll be sure to challenge you to a race, I’m known to be fastest swimmer in the East Blue!” as Usopp boasted. "HI! I'm Pinkie Pie, do you like parties? Do they have parties over in your would? OHHH what do like to eat? How about cake, hot dogs?" as the pink pony rambled on Robin could only laugh as the crew at least tries to understand the pink pony's speed talk. “Easy there partner, we don’t want to be reckless! I’m Applejack, it’s pleasure to meet y’all!” “We’ll then now that the formalities are done, we should be expecting the princess pretty soon!” as Twilight said. “Princess?” asked Nami. “Yes our land is ruled by 2 princesses, one controls the Sun and the other the Moon…” “And we came as soon as we received your letter my faithful student!” Everyone gasped as the sister princesses themselves had arrived to assess the situation, and being royalty they’ve arrived by chariot. Princess Celestia of the Sun and Day & Princess Luna of the Moon and Night had came! “SOO COOOL!!!!” with Luffy’s eyes sparkle. “So these are the ancient race of human that you described in your letter, I must say they look strange but fun!” exclaimed the alicorn princess of the sun. “But, something on my mind since we just got here .” Luffy questioned. “And what’s that….Luffy is it?” asked Luna. “*in thought* don’t you dare ask Luffy” Nami thought. “Do you guys poop?” Luffy asked. Everyone gasped in sight couldn’t believe what this person just asked, and in front of the princess for that matter. With everyone’s faces quickly blushing at the shear sound of that last word. Twilight’s mind is currently processing such a vulgar question, but can’t help but wonder can the god –like rulers of Equestria use the bathroom like any other pony. And it was Celestia who first answered next to her blushing sister. “Well actually we…..” Celestia attempted to answer but… “NO WE DON’T OUR FOOD IS USED FOR ENERGY TO HELP LIFT THE SUN AND MOON!” as Luna rudely interrupted. Celestia raised an eyebrow as if she were instinctively said to her sister “did you seriously just said that” "Oops, heh heh, we are sorry" apologized Luna. However Luffy, the idiot that he is simply made a huge smile and simply said: “Oh, okay!” “*sigh* Luffy you can be just a big idiot sometimes” Sanji sighed. “However … EVEN IN PONY FORM, THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL LADIES!!!!” kneels before the princesses and holding up their hooves “It's pleasure to meet you, your majesties” “Oh don’t worry about it! As long as you’re not a threat it’s fine by me” Celestia proclaimed. However, hidden in a bush, a creature with insect like eyes watches from a distance of the events occurring before it. “Humans!” and it simply flies away with insect wings all excited to tell the news to its superior “Her majesty is gonna love this… love them soooo much~ !” To be continued… > Chapter 4 - The Ursa Major > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we last left the Strawhat crew they’ve somehow arrived in the land of Equestria from a failed teleportation spell caused by the unicorn Twilight Sparkle. With everone now finished their introductions the pink pony known as Pinkie Pie was setting up a “Welcome to Equestria” party. But in the EverFree Forest….. “Gahhh we really did it this time Snails!” “Yeah! We shouldn’t waken his nap!!!” Two small kids, Snips and Snails are very known to cause mischief and trouble. So much so that they lured an Ursa Minor to Ponyville only to be rescued by Twilight Sparkle. Only this time, searching for their own adventure accidently has awoken a male Ursa Major (which is 2x the size of a female Ursa Major and 20x the size of an Ursa Minor) and are currently running for their lifes. Unaware of the powerful humans that have arrived in Ponyville. “M-maybe Twilight will help us again!” yelled Snips. “We’ll we b-b-better hurry, I think he’s starting to catch up” wimpered Snails. Meanwhile back at Ponyville…. “Wow a party already!? Usually we have a party when we are set to leave an island or something” said Sanji. “Don’t think about it too much, Pinkie has a party for almost every reason there is!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash. “Yohohohohoho, already I have to play my wondrous music” as Brook began to strum his guitar. “NOW LET’S PARTY!!!” yelled Luffy. As the party ensued, every pony in Ponyville wants to see the humans as each one has fun in their own ways. Nami displays here clima-tact for the kids by creating her own weather as Rainbow Dash explains the Pegasus controlled climate. Robin and Chopper chat with Twilight with their knowledge of their history and medicine. “Your knowledge of medicine is amazing Chopper, you could really revolutionize our medicine!!!” “SHUT UP,*happy dance* COMPLIMENTING ME WON’T MAKE ME THE LEAST BIT HAPPY YA BIG JERKS!!” “Does he always act like this whenever someone compliments him?” asked Fluttershy. “Yep!!” Robin exclaimed. Sanji tries the culinary arts of cider and sweets made from the Sweet Apple Acres and Sugar Cube Corner. “This cider tastes amazing, how are you able to get this kind of flavor from just apples?” Sanji as he tries. “Now careful ya hear. The cider here in Equestria is pretty much what you call ‘booze’ in your world!” warned Applejack. “Way ahead of you!” said Zoro, already drinking a whole barrel of cider! “All right, now then all together now! 1..2..and SUPER!!!!!” yelled Franky leading a couple of ponies and fillies in his posing and showing his weapons/custom hair. Now Luffy had entered a cupcake eating contest with Pinkie Pie in which they already reached their 500th cupcake. “It’s unbelievable how much they’ve eaten!” “It’s unnatural!” “Still like you humans Lyra?” Bon-Bon said. “Ya I do!!! Humans are amazing, go Luffy!” Lyra exclaimed. “GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!” As a huge roar sounded across the sky everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing trying to make sense what the sound was coming from. “HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!! URSA MAJOR!!!!” “Oh, and it starting to get fun too” sighed Princess Celestia. “Twilight you gotta help us and….WHO THEY HAY ARE THEY!” exclaimed Snips when he caught sight of the towering beings of the Strawhat crew. “*smirk* finally some action, ready captain?” as Zoro quickly sobered up. “You know it Zoro! Sanji, Franky, guys, it’s time to fight!” yelled Luffy. “You can’t be serious! Nopony could take on an Ursa Major, not even the awesome me!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash. “As boastful as she is, Dashie is right, I could barely take on an Ursa Minor by myself!” exclaimed Twilight. “psshhh, how bad can it be?” asked Luffy. “IT’S HERE!!!” Chopper yelled. The Ursa Major was towering, standing on its 2 hind legs to intimidate its prey. All the ponies were quick to hide in their homes, everyone was gone; all except the Strawhats and the princesses. “So that’s an Ursa Major huh? It’s big, but not as big as Odz though.” said as Sanji lit his cigarette. “It looks a little cute” said Robin. “You’re right it does, now go get ‘em you three.” Said Nami hiding behind Zoro, Sanji and Usopp. “Hey you, you gotta fight too! Yelled Usopp “Nami-san, mellorine!” said Sanji with hearts in his eyes. “We’ll surely get a lot of meat from this thing” said Zoro “I wonder how it will taste?” said Luffy with fork and knife at hand. The princesses were shocked by the comment thinking ‘do they actually think they can defeat this creature and eat it? It’s been over 1000 years since somepony has slain an Ursa Major.’ The monster itself simply roared for its potential meal, that’s when Luffy stepped up. “Gear Second!” with that he pumped extra blood into his system. While the ponies simply watched in awe as steam soon starts to emit from Luffy’s body. ‘Steam?’ as Celestia thought. As Luffy readies for an attack, so did the monster as he raised its claw fangs bearing. “Gomo-Gomo no!!!” *fwish* (a/n: I didn’t know what word goes with the sound of Luffy disappearing while in Second Gear so I’m going with fwish) Celestia was surprised at what she had witnessed on Luffy. “He disappeared!!” “JET PISTOL!!!” A massive roar emits as Luffy’s punch hits its right on the monster neck causing it to flail like a rag doll with eyes bluging out. “ANTI-MANNER KICK COURSE” as Sanji kicks the creature kick in the supposed torso knocking out all the air in him. “Santoryuu …..108 POUND PHOENIX!!!” as Zoro slashed against the head, effectively knocking the creature out. “and finally, SURE KILL….*launches from black Kabuto* IMPACT WOLF!” a massive green wolf from the red bead that Usopp launch and hit directly in the bear’s face, the shock wave not brock his face bones but tons of internal damage effectively slaying it. “Wow, Usopp, that 2 years of training really made you stronger!” said Luffy. “No doubt about it!” Zoro complimented. Celestia however, for the first time in many years was dumbfounded by the sheer power that these people have. “Incredible! Nopony in years, not since before Discord’s rule have been able to slay an Ursa Major. They are possibly more powerful than me.” “Sister, are you alright?” asked Luna snapping out of Celestia’s trance “AMAZING, SO COOL, THEY SLAYED AN URSA MAJOR!!!!” as all the ponies returned from hiding after witnessing the battle that had ensued. “Now that was a warm-up, wouldn’t you say Luffy, Luffy?” asked Zoro. Luffy however had his mind somewhere else, using his haki he looked off into the distance into where it grows significantly dark. “Feels like bugs, and something else.. some wild animal and I don’t like it.” As Luffy thought. XXX “Humans!? The legendary beings whose capacity for love rivals that of the entirety of Equestria you say!?” asked the Changeling queen. “Yes your majesty, they’ve appeared just today, they even attracted the attention of the princesses!” “Mwahahahaha! This is perfect, it’ll do well in my plan for revenge against that fool Sparkle!” “Your majesty!! Your majesty!!!” said some Changeling drones. “What is it!?” asked Chrysalis fiercely. “We’ve found it, in the snow outside the Crystal Empire!” as the drones hold up the artifact. “Excellent! Everything is going according the plan” as she holds the item. The artifact….. a single unicorn horn that’s glowing intensely red. > Chapter 5 - Revival and Betrayal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For months she had been planning this, her revenge against Equestria, against Celestia, against the family Sparkle. Now, she has the means of achieving her goal. “This is the final piece your majesty, all the way from Saddle Arabia!” exclaimed a changeling drone “Excellent, gather all the pieces in that spot over there!” as the changeling queen ordered. It’s incredible, as she thought in her mind, that he flew so far across the world, and with his power it will be mine. She devilishly smiled as a pile of black shards started to throb a dark red as the horn is placed on top. “King Sombra….” The pile starts to glow a much deeper red “ a few months ago you were destroyed by a group of ponies and I shall revive you so you may take your revenge and serve me as my mate! Revive Sombra! Revive! Clouds of darkness surround the pile and a sort of small cyclone. Changeling drones stepped away in fear as they see skulls and other bones trying to push out of the dark cloud, eventually, the clouds condensed into a basic unicorn shape. But then it got into more deeper detail as the mane and tail forms, then the hooves, the blood red cloak, his crown and finally his face. Finally, his eyes open releasing dark magic of fear and hatred In a deep demonic voice, he proclaims: “I live” “King Sombra, you have been revived by me, Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings, and since I revived you, you honor you services to me and my Changeling hoard” The revived king merely glared at the proud queen, then looked around at the entire Changeling Hive. He simply smiled a demonic grin “Yes, this place should suffice nicely for my new kingdom.” “Your new kingdom!?” This angered Chrysalis greatly, “What right to you think you have to proclaim my land as your kingdom?” “My own right” He yelled a beastly roar and released a massive burst of dark magic that started to consume every changeling on sight and throughout the hive like a disease. Every drone suddenly went through a horrific transformation: their fangs elongated, their eyes turn to blood red, sharpened claws grew from their hooves, their overall size doubled and are now surrounded by a dark evil aura “What have you done to my hive Sombra!?” He simply smiled and glared at her “I improved them!!!” as he steps closer to the former queen (while the queen starts to step back) “Your species were weak as they feasted on love, but there is no love at all, instead I forced their bodies to feed on hate and fear which made them become my new slaves and army!” Soon Chrysalis felt something she hadn’t felt in a long time….true fear. Not since the powerful magic wave produced by love between Shining Armor and Princess Cadence was she so afraid for her own life as tears were already forming in her green eyes. “Now....” As Sombra said “GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!” Black crystals appear from Sombra’s shadow spearing the former queen of the Changelings and creating large gashes on her body, causing a massive blood loss as it comes gushing out. But all that she could think of is …run. That word resonated in her mind, run. And that was what she did, she ran to the only place where’s there’s any hope for her survival.....Ponyville. > Chapter 6 - Days of Ponies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (the following days takes place as Chrysalis gathers Sombra’s pieces) As the Straw-hats slowly adjust to their new environment, the princesses have decided to move royal operation to Ponyville to keep a close eye on their new residents of pirates within the town hall. Some, however, called for their imprisonment. “But auntie!! These beings have absolutely no class, no manners, and could threaten the entire nation!!” complained Prince Blueblood. “That is enough my nephew! Until recently, you’ve complained about almost every action I take and have been behaving very spoiled! Especially around the common citizens, just because you’re my blood relative doesn’t mean you’re above everypony else!” as the sun princess confronted the white unicorn. “GRRR!! I’ve had it with you! All the years have been clouding your judgment and have been less treating us in royalty and more towards the commoners and these … creatures!!” he said with a large distaste in his mouth. “ENOUGH!!” Princess Celestia boomed as she stomped her hoof causing the building to shake “Hey, is anything okay in here?” as Nami entered the office “I heard some yelling and checked to see if you were all right princess.” “Yes Nami, my dear I had just finished speaking with my nephew in an important matter. You may take your leave now Blueblood.” Said the Princess “Fine!!” as the white unicorn left, he gave quite a death glare against Nami and his own aunt. In his mind however “ they’ll see, my aunt is no longer fit to rule anymore; I need power, lots of power” The princess merely sighed “Royal business can be quite stressful you know, even if you’re immortal.” “Tell me about it, how about keeping in line a rubber idiot, a perverted cook, a cyborg, a swordsman, and an undead musician in line almost 24/7?” Nami countered. “You must tell me about your adventures sometime” Celestia asked. “Perhaps some other time princess” said Nami. Back outside… “So explain to me how these “devil fruits” work?” as Twilight examines some of the crew. “Well, we eat one, it gives us powers but it takes away our ability to swim!” Brook said. “There are 3 types of fruits: Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia; Luffy, Brook and Robin ate Paramecia, I ate a Zoan type, while others ate logia types which are super strong!” as Chopper explained. “Before I ate it, I was a reindeer!” “Wow! But can you eat more than one!?” asked Rainbow Dash “I’m afraid we can’t, if we eat another devil fruit, we’ll die! Oh, but I’m already dead Yohohohohoho!!” Brook said. “So it’s impossible to have 2 powers!?” Twilight asked. “It’s not, only one other person was able to…” Zoro said. At that time, Luffy’s smile went away and the shade of his hat hid his eyes. “I’m going to train for a while, leave me alone for a bit.” “What happened, I want to turn that frown, upside down!!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie. “The only time someone has 2 powers, was from the death of Luffy’s brother…Portgas D. Ace” Robin said somberly. “Brother?” asked Twilight remembering Shining Armor. “It was all that Blackbeard’s fault! If he hadn’t captured Ace, he would still be alive…Luffy literally went to hell and back to try and rescue him and yet Ace was murdered right in front of him…” Zoro said. Later that night… Luna decided to see what these humans dream about, one had many jewels and gold, another was filled with weird shiny orbs as the cook slid down from them. One had been playing a violen atop of a large whale and the other filled with memories of another doctor with Sakura trees. But then she heard sniffling… “*sniff* *sniff* Ace, I’m sorry. Ace” Luffy cried. “Ace, this captain’s brother that was mentioned?” as Luna watched over. She then decides to enter his dream. The moment she entered, she is suddenly greeted by a massive war. Guns and cannons exploding, huge earthquakes shaking, and the same captain running towards a large tower with a prisoner tied to its top with 2 men standing above him. “Ace hold on, I’m coming!!!” Luffy yells. Suddenly the entire arena came up in flames as magma suddenly starts pooling as the scene changes. With Luffy sitting in shock as his brother blocks an attack by a fist made of pure magma, piercing right through his body. “Ace…no…AAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEE!!!” Luna is suddenly ejected from the nightmare right in front of her sister. “Luna, what happened!?” Celestia asked. “Tia, that man has suffered so much….. never in my entire life have I felt such sadness” she suddenly embraces her sister. “Luna?” as the sun princess asked stunned by her sister’s behavior. “Please, promise you won’t leave me again” Tears start forming in her eyes Celestia also with tears in her eyes merely smiles and shares her embrace. “Of course Luna, I promise, I’ll always be with you” The following morning, as Luffy slowly wakes up with his eyes burning from the tears from his nightmare, notices that the rest of the crew were not in their hammocks. “Huh, where is everyone?” He slowly comes out and walks to the door and suddenly hears shushes. He slowly opens the door and .. “SURPRISE!!!” A pink pony hanging upside down appears right in front of Luffy knocking him back. But look at the scene sees a massive party set up and right on the mast is a picture of Ace smiling and holding Luffy in a choke hold. “Welcome to Ace’s memorial party!” Pinkie yells. “Luna and your crew told us about your brother Luffy and we decided to pitch together a party in his honor!” exclaimed Twilight. “I must he, that Ace looks like quite a dashing young man!” said Rarity. Luffy could only smile and yells “Thank you so much you guys!” ------- After the party…. Chopper was asked by Fluttershy to assist in caring some animals and walking through the forest to her home “So you actually wanted to be a tree!?” Chopper asked. “Oh, uh, yes, it seems kind of silly doesn’t it” Fluttershy merely said softly. “Well, what kind of tree?” asked Chopper. Fluttershy seemed a little surprised on what the reindeer asked “Well…I never really thought of that actually, how would take it Chopper?” asked the Pegasus. “Well… Rainbow Dash would be a palm tree braving hurricane winds, Applejack would obviously be an apple tree, Twilight an oak…” as Chopper went on. “And what about you Chopper?” asked Fluttershy “Mine will be a Sakura tree..” Chopper answered. “Why a Sakura tree?” asked Fluttershy “Let me tell you a story that my father told me: There was once a man with an incurable disease, the doctors he went to tried their best to cure him but to no avail and told he only had weeks to live. Saddened, the man went towards a forest, but when he arrived he was greeted by the most beautiful of Sakura trees with its leaves falling and the flowers in full bloom. He had never felt such happiness and beauty that he felt rejuvenated. He quickly ran towards his doctor, the doctor examined him and he remarkably exclaimed that all of his ailments have been cured! That story always kept me going to achieve my dream of curing every disease ever known!” Chopper finally finished his story leaving Fluttershy both amazed and a bit flustered as a hint of a blush appeared on her cheeks. “Hey Chopper!!” as Usopp suddenly appears running towards them “Oh hi Usopp! What’s up?” “Rainbow Dash is supposedly putting on an airshow for us back at town! Wanna go see?” as Usopp catches his breath. “Sure! Want to come Fluttershy?” Chopper asked. “Yes” as Flutterhy happily smiled. Back at town Rainbow Dash is displaying her amazing air tricks and getting ready for the grand finale. “Oh here comes the sonic rainboom!!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. “Sonic rainboom? What’s that?” asked Nami. “Oh here it comes!!” Twilight yelled. And suddenly BOOOM!! The sky is graced by an amazing sonic boom mixed with all colors of the rainbow from the point when Rainbow Dash broke the sound barrier. Needless to say, Luffy fainted with stars in his eyes and drooling. “Luffy! Are you alright?!” asked Rarity. “S-so cool!” Luffy said weakly Chopper and Usopp is still conscious but with massive twinkles in their eyes. “That’s so cool!!!” exclaimed both Usopp and Chopper. “Wow, the colors are so beautiful!” said Robin. “Yeah, it’s SUPER cool!” exclaimed Franky. But at that moment, Fluttershy leaned a bit closer to Chopper. “Yeah, it’s really amazing!” as Fluttershy blushes next to Chopper. The next day.. “Right it’s SUPER finished” exclaimed Franky as he fixes up Applejack’s barn. “I thank ya kindly Franky, this old barn needed some repairs for quite a while!” said Applejack “Eeyup!” Big Macintosh simply said. “I even added extras to this barn, with the help of some group named the CMC” Franky said . Applejack suddenly froze up, as a massive machine came up from the center of the barn and suddenly started spinning. “What in the hay is that thing!!?” as Granny Smith pointed with her hoof. “That’s the SUPER wind turbine! The wind will turn the giant arms and make a lot of electricity for your home!” “It means that we won’t have to rely on lanterns and can work at night now, so that way we can spend more time together in the long run!” AppleBloom exclaimed. Suddenly Rainbow Dash appeared as she flew overhead towards the barn. Her face shows a display of worry and urgency as she arrived at the farm. “Hey Franky, Applejack! Double-time to the nearby field! The Princess needs us and all of our friends!” she exclaimed. “Right, Franky follow me!” commanded Applejack. Once the duo arrived, they encounter the rest of the Mane 6 and the Straw-hats. “Hey Franky and Applejack! How’s it going!?” asked Usopp. “Fine and dandy mister, I wonder why the princess asked all of us to be here?” asked Applejack. “No idea, she called me after I was studying their old castle, I must say this land’s history is fascinating!” exclaimed Robin. “Ugh! I’m bored and hungry! Sanji! Can you make us some food!?” yelled Luffy. “Quiet you! Don’t you see we’re about to have an important meeting!?” snapped Sanji. “Although I could go for something to eat” Fluttershy said shyly. “Of course my sweet!!” exclaimed Sanji. “Even towards other species he’s perveted” Usopp said to himself. Suddenly a bright light shone in front of them as the sun princess appeared before them. “I’m glad to see you all, especially at a time like this.” Celestia said. “What is it Princess? Do you have a task for us?” asked Twilight. “I do, and I believe Fluttershy and our human guests are the right people for the job.” said Celestia. As she looks backs at Canterlot, she sees her guards arriving carrying a statue and a box. All the ponies suddenly gasped at the sight while the crew merely questioned in worry. “Why princess, why did you bring him here!?” Spike said as he was about ready to completely panic. “Who is he?” asked Nami “The lord of chaos and disorder, who nearly destroyed our friendships and plunged Equestria into all of chaos and disharmony…” as Twilight said gravely. The statue landed with a deep thud “….Discord” > Chapter 7 - Chaotic Redemption > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Discord?” asked Chopper. “Whoa!! He has so many parts!! “ Luffy said with twinkle in his eyes. “Princess, no offense but.. WHY DID YOU BRING DISCORD HERE!!?? …er…your highness.” Twilight recovered after yelling at her mentor. “You see Twilight, Luffy told about what he had sensed when they first arrived and that troubled me, you see I wish to have Discord use his magic for good instead of evil and I believe our new friends and Fluttershy are the ones for the job.” “This is nuts, what if we can’t control him, what if he causes chaos again!? WE”RE DOOMED!!!” as Spike panicked. “Uhh…,” Usopp suddenly collapses to the ground “I suddenly contracted the we-shouldn’t-revive-a-being-of-chaos-disease” “Liar” Ranbow Dash called out. “*sigh* I can’t believe we’re going to do this… elements on girls” Nami sees the necklaces and her eyes changes to berries “Ooooh, what are those beautiful gems?” Nami asked. “The elements of harmony, the most powerful magic source in all of Equestria, it was used the imprison Discord in the first-place, there are 6 elements: laughter, honesty, loyalty, kindness, generosity and magic; Twilight showed me a book on this matter earlier today” Robin explained. “That’s right, but this time we’re freeing Discord” Twilight said disgruntledly activating her magic. As the elements of harmony activates, the Straw-hats are greeted by the brilliant light show it display as each energy in rainbow form connects to each element finally reaching Twilight’s element of magic. With all the elements connected they make a huge blast of magic energy at the statue; with the statue being blasted by the elements, it begins to crack and explode revealing the being within. Finally…. The chaos being, Discord, has finally been released. “AHHHHHH” Discord bellows, and he soon starts stretching and snapping his fingers causing chaos. “*gasp* stop it!” yelled Twilight. “What? I’m just stretching!” Discord said snapping his fingers causing a bunny to mutate into a muscular thing “Being trapped in stone is not exactly the most comfortable way to live for someone like me!” Discord said. “*gasps* Make that bunny cute again!!” demanded Pinkie. “SO COOOOL!!” yelled Luffy and Chopper. “So these are the humans that have heard so much about, they look fun!” said Discord “How did you hear about it!?” Twilight said demanding an explanation from the dragonequues. “Being trapped in stone doesn’t mean it takes an ability to hear, besides to think that your princess plans on reforming me using these humans and Fluttershy right here. Just hearing that plan makes me want to roll my eyes around.” Discord said taking out his eye and rolling them around in his palm. “Enough, turn everything back or else we’ll turn you back to stone!” Twilight threatened. “Oh please, you wouldn’t want to disappoint you precious princess” Discord “Not unless we have good reason!!” Applejack countered. “Oh fine” Discord snaps his fingers causing everything to return to normal. But suddenly Chopper latches onto his serpentine body with eyes twinkling “Hey what the..!?” Discord yelped. “Do you have lasers, what other parts do you have, what else can you do, come on what else can you do!!!??” Chopper fast talked “Lively one isn’t he?” as he picks him up from the shirt… “so what can you do?” “I can shape-shift!” Chopper exclaimed “Easy there buddy” as Luffy’s arm stretched and grabbed Chopper away “Oh my, a being of rubber I presume?” “Hell yeah, I’m Luffy, I’m the man who’s going to be pirate king! Wanna join my crew!?” Zoro hits him on the back of the head….hard. “HELL NO!! I TOLD YOU NO ASKING RANDOM THINGS TO BE PART OF OUR CREW!!” Zoro yelled. “I’m sorry” said a bruised Luffy. Now this surprised Discord very much so, seeing friends fighting and hurting each other so easily and yet so forgiving. “So I presume I’ll stay at your home dear Fluttershy?” Discord inquired “Yes, now I hope you’ll be on your best behavior” Fluttershy said. Later that day, as Discord “settles in” at Fluttershy’s cottage “Please, make yourself as comfortable as you need” Fluttershy says, even though her home is up in the air and slowly spiraling in a circle. “Why thank you so much dear Fluttershy, you’re so much better than those other ponies you call your friends” Discord said relaxing on the couch. “Flutteshy!!” Twilight called out from outside. “Oh my, that must be Twilight!” Fluttershy flew out of her spinning cottage and meets up with the others. “Fluttershy, he’s out of control! What are you thinking!?” demanded Twilight “All part of my plan, I going to treat Discord as a friend so I’m making him as comfortable as possible around me.” as Fluttershy explained. “I’m not sure about that, we need to have a back-up plan in case this doesn’t work” Rainbow Dash said. But suddenly Luffy threw his arm into the cottage grabbing Discord by the horn “Hey!! What’s going on here!?” yelled Discord “Come on weird guy! Let’s have some fun!!” said Luffy as he reeled in Discord causing him to hit the ground. “That hurt you know!” Discord said rubbing a small bump on his head. Then Twilight sees how the Princess asked the Straw-hat crew to help out in reforming the being of chaos, they’re going to tire him out. Even beings like Discord have their limits. But she still doesn’t know how treating Discord as a friend is going to help. “All right, but make sure he doesn’t do anything too crazy, keep a close eye on him Fluttershy” Twilight said. “I just hope this works….” But eventually, chaos did in fact happen but something was going on in Discord's mind for you see Discord had it all planned it out, trick Fluttershy into thinking they were friends, take advantage of the situation, be free forever and spread chaos. However there was one little problem. The humans and their little raccoon-dog, in just 1 day they played over 100 pranks, rescued them (Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper) countless times from timber-wolves (don’t ask why), and constantly switch back and forth between chaos and order, the task was daunting to say the least, he even secretly caused some chaos with a group of beavers. He was practically at his limit and wanted to just rest and just do nothing. And yet, when he needed to rest, Fluttershy was there, to comfort him, to give him the right amount of space and he started to consider her his first actual friend. That night, Fluttershy decided to invite her friends to dinner as sort of a check up on Discord. Though they reluctantly agreed, Discord remained the same and while the other argues against his actions until.. “All I see right now, are my friends not accepting Discord for who he is and my new friend!” yelled Fluttershy. Discord simply shock in surprise “W-w-we’re friends?” “Of course, I can’t even remember my house being this lively before, thank you Discord!” said Fluttershy. “I-I never had a real friend before” Discord said with a tinged of happiness in his voice While the other merely had the mouths slack-jawed, Fluttershy’s bunny angel came running to the table. With a worried look on his face he bagan to squeak and jump up in down in extreme worry. “What’s wrong Angel Bunny? Is something wrong!?” Fluttershy asked “I can translate for him” said Chopper “Oh my, he said that the Sweet Apple Acres is completely flooded!!” “My family!!” yelled Applejack. They all run towards the apple orchard only to find it completely flooded due to a massive dam made from beavers. Discord had followed them with swimming gear and makeshift water skis and jumped into the water, “Come on in the water’s fine!!” Discord yells as he swims across the water while passing by the apple family stuck on the roof of the barn. “Discord, change everything back now!!!” demanded Twilight. “Hey come on, just have some fun; how about you two Luffy and Chopper?” asked Discord. “Sorry, but we can’t, being devil fruit users we lose our ability to swim” Chopper explained. “Aww, you’re a bunch of party poopers” he quickly turns the entire “lake” into an ice skating rink, but nearly freezing the rest of the Apple family. For once, Luffy gave a look upon disappointment upon Discord, which shook him a little. “Well, here goes nothing, *walks to Discord* DISCORD!!” Fluttershy yelled. “Ah, there you are Fluttershy my dear friend, how about we start skating pal?” asked Discord holding up 2 pairs of skating boots. “Don’t call me your pal!” yelled Fluttershy. “Oh come now, how about a little wager, beat me I’ll turn everything back to normal? Just one condition, don’t use your element against me!” Discord said. “Fine” said Fluttershy as she grabbed the skates and her friends gasped. “You see! Fluttershy wants to play with me because we’re friends, I’m free forever hahahaha!!!!!” as Discord boasted. That was the last straw for Fluttershy as she growled and threw the skates yelling “NOT….YOUR….FRIEND!!” she then starts walking away from Discord “Who cares!? I’m Discord, master of mischief and being of chaos, *teleports next to Fluttershy* you think I going to change all this back because you say so, because you’re the boss of me!? Because if I don’t I’ll lose the one friend I ever had!?” The sudden truth hit Discord like a pile of bricks as tears start forming in his eyes. “Oh…. Well played Fluttershy….well played” He hops onto a tree and releases a burst of energy turning everything back to normal. Later that day, they decided to meet with the princess on the issue of Discord. “Yes Celestia, from now on I’m going to use my magic for good instead of evil, most of the time; I’ve learned that even being a spirit of chaos, I can’t always get what I want” as Discord bowed to the sun princess. “Great job my dear friends; I definitely sense a great change in Discord” said the Princess "Come on say it" nudged Fluttershy. "Oh all right.... friendshipismagic..there I said it" Discord said. Chopper quickly blushes and does his happy dance “Complimenting me won’t make me the least bit happy you jerk!” “But just in case, I’ll leave the elements of harmony to you Twilight” said Celestia. “Now that we have this settled can we get some new clothes, I could use a new style in my wardrobe” said Nami. “Oh allow me” Discord snaps his fingers turning Nami into a silly clown “Hahahaha!!” Luffy laughed….but Nami in a huge fury uses Thunder tempo to electrocute the two of them. “Worth it” as the duo weakly said reeling from the electricity. XXXX Back at the Changeling hive, the drones have found a certain piece of Sombra that the queen wanted to use to herself for the night before finally reviving him. The next day, she makes the mistake of reviving true evil. > Chapter 8 - Hearts & Hooves Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the day after Discord has been reformed from evil and the Straw-hats have fully integrated into pony society, Rarity herself volunteered to construct a new wardrobe for the Straw-hats. At one point she decided to inquire something very personal while she was working on a dress for Nami. “So Nami…it’s Heart’s and Hooves’ Day today” as Rarity made another stitch on the dress. “What’s Hearts and Hooves’ day?” asked Nami. “It’s basically a day for ponies to give gifts to our special somepony, well more to the point our loves” Rarity explained. “Oh” Nami could see this coming from a mile away “So, is there anyone you got your eye on?” asked Rarity. “and don’t worry, your secret will be safe with me” Nami made sure to look all around the boutique to make sure no one will be able to spill her little crush. “Are you sure you won’t tell anyone?” “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye” as Rarity promised “Alright, truth is, I’ve been in love with our captain Luffy, for a long time now even if he’s a little idiot; you see whenever we are in our darkest times, whether fighting a warlord, or another pirate, even a god. Luffy’s always there to give us *breathes in* hope. He even rescued my entire village from a horrible pirate. I sometimes hope he feels the same way about me.” said Nami has she clutches her heart. “*gasps* A ruffian like him!? I promise not to tell anyone, losing a friends’ trust is the fastest way to lose a friend!” said Rarity. Over at the other side of town, Pinkie Pie was serving some cupcakes to Chopper when she suddenly had the urge to say “FOREVER!!!!!” “Pinkie, what are you talking about?” asking a worried Chopper. “Oh it’s nothing, just a friendship being tested by a few people.” “Uhh, okay” Chopper said. Over at the library, Twilight has been making different potions for certain events when Luffy had gone and barged in.. “Hey Twilight, whatcha doing!?” yelled Luffy Luffy had just come back from Haki training with Zoro and was sweating like mad. “Oh, hey Luffy, I’m just mixing some potions for today’s holiday, just don’t drink or touch anything!!!” Twilgiht said with a stern face. “Alright, alright, you don’t have to be so strict” Luffy said. But then something caught Luffy’s eye, a glass filled with a sparkling pink liquid with bubbles popping out of the glass. “Oooh, pink lemonade, I had a hard training with Zoro and I could use a drink!” said as he takes the drink Twilight not paying attention and focusing on her potion making merely says “Yeah sure, you can have the lemonade” Luffy leaves the library with the drink in hand. But Twilight suddenly realizes something, she doesn’t even have lemonade, let alone pink lemonade. She turns around seeing that Luffy had mistakenly took a powerful love potion, one meant for ponies to confess their true feelings for the ones they love. “Oh horse manure!! Luffy!!!” Twilight carefully puts all the potion tools back a runs out of the library in search of Luffy. As Luffy left the library, before Twilight realized what had happened, he was passing by Rarity’s boutique and decided to drink the “lemonade”, at that moment Rarity had finished a new dress for Nami. “Huh, that lemonade tasted weird, oh well” he said before visiting Nami at the boutique. As he entered the shop, Nami came out in a beautiful party gown that made her shine like the sun. “Hey Luffy, what’s up?” But before Luffy could answer, he felt suddenly flustered by Nami’s beauty, his cheeks suddenly became pink and his stomach suddenly started feeling for the first time not hungry at all but all twisted. “Oh, uh, hey, um.. (crap what can I say!?)” Luffy said in his thoughts. “Hey you okay Luffy, you seem a little red” Nami asked with a bit of worry. “I uh, I gotta go!!!” and Luffy just dashed out. “What just happened?” asked Rarity. “I don’t know, I never say Luffy act like this!” Nami said. Outside, Luffy needed to breathe, he never felt like this before, at least not with this intensity around Nami. He decided to take a walk around town, maybe it’ll clear my head as he thought. “Hey Luffy! Wanna try this new cola powered cannon the Franky and I made, it’ll be cool!” said Usopp “It’s SUPER powerful when we get back to the New World!!” said Franky. “No thanks, maybe later” said Luffy as he walked on by. Needless to say, Usopp and Franky were shocked. Luffy was also in when it comes to new weapons testing. “Hey Luffy, I made new food with help from the apple-family, I need a good taste-tester” asked Sanji. “No thanks, I’m not hungry” Luffy walked on by. Sanji merely slacked jawed as he heard words he though never in a million years he would her from that one man. Even Chopper, who was walking by with Fluttershy (rumored by Bon-Bon to be on a date!) was shocked to hear those words. “Sorry Fluttershy, I have to cut this meeting short, something must be wrong with Luffy! He never turns down free food!” Chopper said. “Don’t worry, we all care for your friends, go and get the rest of your crew Chopper” said Fluttershy before giving Chopper a kiss on the cheek. Chopper super-blushes “Kissing me won’t make me the least bit happy you cute pony!” Later that day Usopp organizes a crew meeting (minus Sanji, Luffy and Nami) over at the dining room inside the Thousand Sunny. “Okay guys, something’s up with Luffy, something very wrong!” Usopp said. “He rejected weapon testing!” said Franky. “He didn’t want to spar today!” said Zoro “He rejected free food!!!” yelled Chopper. Everyone gasped at that moment except Robin “Oi, Robin, why aren’t you worried by this action?” demanded Zoro. “Hmph” Robin simply smiles “Twilight visited me today” she holds up a glass “It seems that Luffy has accidentally drank a love potion” Everyone extremely gasped at that point that Chopper nearly fainted. “And it also seemed that Luffy has fallen in love with Nami” Robin added. “How did you know!?” asked Brook. “From me” as Rarity came out with a crutch and some bruises. “AHHHH!! Rarity what the hell happened to you!!?” Chopper asked. “Chopper language please! Rule #1 in Equestria, never ever break a pinkie-promise.” Rarity explained. Usopp suddenly takes out a notebook, and starts writing something down muttering “never….break….pinkie…promise” But outside, Sanji was about to serve some of the apple family cider from Applejack but was right outside the door….hearing the entire thing. “That rubber bastard….nobody will fall in love in Nami while I’m around…especially that idiot!!” But Robin was quick to react as she heard Sanji’s angry rant “viente fleur!” as 10 pairs of hands came out of the ground and held down the enraged cook. “Let me go!! He needs to pay!!” yelled Sanji. “It’s not his fault” yelled Twilight as she arrived “The effects of the potion should’ve worn out hours ago, that gives you no right to hurt him!!” But over at the local lake, Luffy was just sitting by a tree watching the sun go down. “Why do I feel like this and around Nami so much?” Luffy questioned himself. “There you are!” said Nami as she come running towards him. “Why are acting so strangely today, Fluttershy told me you even rejected free food!” she sits right next to him. “Nami..” Luffy inches closer to Nami’s face “I can’t fight this any longer” “What are you talking about, are you sick?” said Nami as she puts her hand on Luffy’s forehead. “You’re warm…are you sure you’re okay Luffy?” “I’m fine, better than fine actually…way more than fine” Luffy’s face suddenly lunged forward and his lips meets Nami’s. Nami was beyond shocked, Luffy was actually kissing….her!! She didn’t know what to do, and in fact she was liking it! “Luffy… you have no idea how long I’ve waited” she said in her head “Monkey D. Luffy!!!! Prepare to get your ass kicked!!!” yelled an enraged cook. “What the hell you’re doing to my Nami!?” yelled Sanji as he’s running towards the couple. “Your Nami!?” yelled Luffy getting into a fighting pose. “Like hell I’m going to let you fall in love with her” Sanji said launching a kick as Luffy easily dodges. “Yeah right! You say you’re in love with but then you go for another woman’s ass!!!” Luffy launching a punch. Nami was shocked…they were fighting over her!! Usually when men fight over her it was fun but not this time. It was her friends, and Luffy wasn’t going to back down. “Luffy…” Nami said with sorrow. She sees Robin and Twilight “Robin what’s going on?” “You see, Luffy drank a love potion after mistaking it for lemonade” Robin explained. “Well it’s little bit of my fault on my part, I made for Hearts and Hooves day today” “So his love wasn’t real….” Said Nami, as she was close to tears. “No, his love for you is more real than ever, I designed the potion to increase a pony’s feelings so that they can admit they’re in love with their crush or girl/boyfriend.” Twilgiht explained. “Apparently, his love went much deeper than it ever was, the potion merely …helped him” Robin. “Really?” said Nami. “Yep!” said Luffy victorious over a bruised and beaten Sanji. “Nabi-san” Sanji weakly said with a huge bumb nearly covering his mouth. “But why didn’t you say anything before?” asked Nami. “Because when we first met, you hated pirates, so I was afraid to say anything. Even after we defeated Arlong, I was still nervous around you. I love you Nami…and nothing’s ever going to change that!” declared Luffy. “Oh Luffy….” Nami was completely in tears now and charges at Luffy. “You big idiot! I love you too” The two share a massive embrace and eventually share a passionate kiss “Happy Hearts and Hooves Day you two…” said Twilight. “Awwwww” said a trio of fillies. “What the!? Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetiebelle!? How long we you there!!” Twilight asked. “We were trying to get our cutie marks in love….but we stumbled onto such a romantic scene” said Sweetiebelle. Luffy and Nami blushes when they learned that someone was watching them. But they all merely shared a laugh at the little awkward yet very romantic moment……Until there her a blood-curdling scream. “AHHHHHHH!!! SOMEPONY HELP ME!!” Heads turned as Fluttershy came running towards them but what shocked them was the creature that was following her that was now limping and losing a lot a blood. “Please” the changeling queen pleaded weakly “please…help….me” she collapses in front of the Straw-hats. “Chrysalis….” Twilight said with a shocked face. > Chapter 9 - Help and Life... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A gruesome scene is unfolding before Twilight Sparkle’s eyes as the changeling queen Chrysalis is horribly wounded and pleading for help who is holding but a thread of life. She didn’t know what to do…. But someone already did… “Chopper!! Hurry, get this…whatever to the Sunny.. Hurry!!!” commanded Luffy. “On it!” said Chopper, quickly changing into his reindeer point and carrying the wounded queen on his back. “Wait!! Luffy Chopper ! What are you doing!?” yelled Twilight. But the duo had already gone to the ship for treatment of the fallen Changeling queen A few hours later, Twilight, her friends and even the princesses came around the medical ward in the Thousand Sunny, thinking about why Chrysalis had come to Ponyville and how she came up in such a bad state. “We shouldn’t have help her Twilight, who knows what she could be planning!?” said Rainbow Dash. “Well, we don’t know for sure Rainbow, she…” Twilight was about to continue when she was once again interrupted by Rainbow Dash. “She tricked us into abandoning you!!! ABANDONING YOU!!! We made you feel like the lowest pony in Equestria while we were just too greedy to take your worries seriously. You could’ve died in those caverns if you hadn’t found the real Princess Cadence!!!” Rainbow Dash finished her case. Everyone remembered that day well, when Twilight accused the fake Cadence of being evil but instead of listening to her, everyone including Princess Celestia and Twilight’s own brother Shining Armor only turned their backs on her deeming her only jealous and barred her from the wedding. Completely unaware of the massive danger that was looming before all of Canterlot. “One of the worst mistakes of my life” Princess Celestia said to herself. She knows what she had done, turning her back against her faithful student that nearly risked the life of all ponies of Equestria from the Changeling hoard. She had learned many valuable lessons from that experience, never doubt the worries of a deep trusted friend, nobody’s not even Goddesses are perfect and of course the lesson of humility. “One of the worst moments of my life” Twilight said as the bad feelings poured in and tears started forming in her eyes. “We don’t ever want to do that again, I don’t want our own personal greed to muck up our friendship. We won’t ever abandon you again Twilight!” said Rarity “And we Pinkie Promise!” Pinkie exclaimed. The group share a mighty embrace as they remind themselves of the horrid mistake of betraying a friends mighty trust and forgiveness. “Am I interrupting something?” said Nami as she walked towards the group. “Not at all miss Nami” said Applejack. “However, there’s still the matter of Chrysalis and what are we going to do with her, I’m just wondering about how she got in such bad shape.” Said Twilight. Chopper suddenly comes out of the room wiping his hands with a look of worry on his face. “I was able to stitch up the wounds. But she still had lost a lot of blood, she needs an immediate blood transfusion if I need to save them both” “Both? Chopper what are you talking about?” asked Twilight. Chopper then exposes the news “She’s pregnant” “Pregnant .. wha …how!!?” questioned a stunned Applejack. “That doesn’t matter right now; right now she’s hanging to life by a thread and is risking the life of the unborn child. It’s my duty as a doctor to save lives no matter the cost; if they both die right now I won’t be able to call myself as a doctor.” Said Chopper. “But…what she did….was horrible!” said Pinkie Pie. “What matters is what is happening here and now, now please her blood is special does anyone have blood type C+!?” Chopper exclaimed. All the ponies in that hall way were merely silent, unsure on what to do. Chrysalis was one of the most deceitful enemies they’ve ever encountered yet the fact of her pregnancy made want to save her life for the sake of her unborn child. They kept on being silent until… “I will donate my blood!” said one. All of the ponies head turned to Fluttershy who now has a determined look on her face as she stepped up to Chopper. “I donate blood all the time whenever there needs to be a blood drive in Ponyville, in a way all of our blood is the same since it's red.” She turns and smiles to her friends. “Right?” Twilight simply sighed “Are you sure about this Fluttershy? She is a changeling” “I’m more sure then I’ll ever be!” said Fluttershy. “Thank you Fluttershy, I knew I could count on you. We need to get you prepped for the blood transfusion. As Fluttershy enters the medical room, Princess Celestia was unsure on what to do or feel, whether to feel proud of her or to take the chance to punish Chrysalis for her actions. She turned to Spike and ordered an immediate letter to Princess Cadence and Shining Armor to come here. “I just hope I’m making the right choice.” “Don’t worry, I’m sure the author of this fan-fic will have her live, in the mean time I gotta throw a surprise party for our coming guests!!” Pinkie Pie said as she sped off outside the ship “Wait author? Fani-fic!?” what was she talking about” asked Nami “Don’t mind her, she’s just being Pinkie Pie” Rarity explained. (a/n: Dammit Pinkie, no fourth-wall breaking or spoilers allowed!!!) ----- A few hours later Fluttershy finally comes out a little paler due to the loss of blood. She wobbles and staggers to her friends. “Whoa girl, you okay!?” asked a worried Rainbow Dash. “I’m fine, just a little woozy”” said Fluttershy. Chopper comes out content but still worried about his patient. “The transfusion was a success; both the mother and unborn child will live. But ‘Chrysalis’ still has some of internal damage, mostly her lungs so I’ll put her on support for a week. So right now she’ll be unconscious for a week.” “So what are these ‘Changelings’ you called them?” asked Nami. “Changelings are beings that are able to shape shift into ponies that we love, and they feast on that love to sustain themselves. It’s almost the perfect disguise, unless the pony who loves them spots the tiny differences to know that they are really changelings. And that's the queen of the whole species.” Twilight explained as she pointed towards the medical room where Chrysalis resides. “I see… so that’s why you were so hesitant to help her” said Nami. “Twily!!!” yelled a white male unicorn. “BBBFF!!” yelled Twilight. The purple unicorn ran towards her big brother whom she hasn't seen for a few months after defeating King Sombra almost a year ago in the Crystal Empire. “Great to see you too Twilight” as a pink alicorn ran up to Twilight and both immediately began a little dance “Sunshine, Sunshine ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!” “Awwwww” Nami exclaimed. “So these are the humans I’ve heard so much about, my name is Shining Armor; Twilight’s brother, and this is my lovely wife Cadence” “It’s a pleasure to meet you” Nami said. “Oi Nami!! Who are they!?” as Luffy came swinging down from Zoro’s training room all sweaty. As the sweat drips down from his toned muscles, Nami couldn’t help herself but extremely blush at the sight of her new boyfriend. “These are more of Twilight’s friends: Shining Armor and Princess Cadence” "Hi I’m Luffy! I’m the man who’s going to become pirate king!” “Well nice to meet you Luffy.” Said Shining. But then his face became serious “so is it true, is Chrysalis really back?” “I’m afraid so, but she’s in the medical ward considering her condition” “Yes, her pregnancy from you said in your letter” said Cadence. As the couple enters the medical room, they are met with a sorry state of Chrysalis. With a mask covering her face to help her breathe, tubes injecting medicine and nutrients to help the unborn child and of course 2 heart monitors, it was a sad scene as Shining and Cadence couldn’t help but feel sorry for the thing. But then again she did kidnap his wife, tricked him into abandoning his own sister when she needed them most and nearly lead the entire kingdom to fall. “I know, I’m not sure what to feel either, but I know what I have to do” said Cadence as her horn soon glowed and showered a beam upon the queen. “What are you doing to my patient!!?” yelled Chopper as he came barging in “Healing her so that they may both live” said Cadence. Slowly the stitches where her wounds were disappeared and her breathing became easier. Soon enough, her eyes slowly start to open. “Cadence……Shining Armor…..” Chrysalis said weakly right before she fell asleep. XXXXXX Deep within the Everfree forest another portal has opened and another man came out “huh!? How the hell did I get here!?” > Chapter 10 - Nightmares and Revelations > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Yes, this’ll do nicely” said the dark unicorn just hours after he had banished their former leader to who knows where. “However, this is still not enough, I’ll need more slaves and hate.” Said Sombra “Now, who hates those element bearers more than anything?” as he closed his eyes and focused seeing all of Equestria before his mind. By the time he had reached Las Pegasus, something caught his eye, a griffon, down on her luck, beaten, alone, and full of hate. “perfect” “Stupid, good for nothing…..ponies” said the broken griffon as she lays back on the alley on a wall. All she ever heard in Rainbow Dash’s new friends stealing the spotlight, saving Equestria countless times all while her former best friend never given a second thought about her. “Do you hate them?” said a voice in the shadows. The griffon looked around “What’s it to you!?” “You want revenge on them, for stealing you former friend” Sombra’s eyes appear before her “Hmph..yeah I do…you’re Sombra aren’t you? I heard you died” she said. “A…minor setback…I can give you power, only if you give yourself to me girl…” Sombra offered. “The name’s Gilda…” she thought about it, wondering what can she do with such power. “Deal” and in that moment the shadows swallowed her up and just like the Changelings, claws and fangs grew, her body became surrounded by a dark aura, her eyes became blood red and her overall size doubled. “The power…it feels..so good!!” yelled a changed Gilda. “Excellent…now let’s find some new recruits shall we?” Sombra askes his new general. “Let’s” Gilda smiles. The following week was spent converting ponies and monsters to join Sombra’s army. Those who joined were due to ponies who felt betrayed or angry at the princess and others. His army grew to that of not only Changelings, but Griffons, a dragon, manticores, and of course the former prince Blueblood who was promised power and a seat in the new order of Sombra. He even revived the Shadowbolts using remnants of Nightmare Moon’s armor he had stolen. And like all creatures that have converted to Sombra, they all grew in height and power, developed fangs and claws and were surrounded by Sombra’s dark magic. Looking before his new army, alongside with his generals: Gilda, Blueblood, Flim & Flam, a few nobles and the Shadowbolt captain being Lightning Dust (who wanted to get back at Dash for ruining her Wonderbolt dream); He gave a mighty roar and descends into maniacal laughter. Just them a light blue unicorn awakes from her nightmare…. “Why, why am I having such nightmares!?” she changes her face to determination “I need to go to Ponyville” She dons her cap and cape and runs towards the down. “But will the others still accept me?” as she questions herself At the same time, Chrysalis has reawakened from her slumber. Weakened by the blood loss, she's bed ridden but alive as well as her unborn child. “You …. Saved me…” she asked as she turned to Chopper, the ship’s doctor. “Of course, it’s my duty as a doctor to help those in need. Now for your pregnancy condition…may I ask who is the father?” Chopper inquired. Chrysalis merely looked down in silence with tears forming in her eyes “I’ve made a horrible mistake…that costed me my entire kingdom.” Celestia soon walks in “I see you’re awake Chrysalis…mind explaining why we found you in such a state?” Chrysalis continued to look down “Are you here to gloat on my pitiful state Celestia….or are you here to punish me?” “Chrysalis…what did you do?” Celestia inquired. The rest of the ponies entered the room with Luffy following Nami in his arms. Chrysalis was now openly crying at this point. “We were dying….how would feel to have to see your own subjects die of hunger almost every single day? What would you do Celestia?” Celestia remained silent. “He was our only hope of surviving as a species…and he turned them into true monsters, no longer pure changelings….” “The father of your child..” Twilight inquired. “Yes…… I’ve gathered his pieces that were scattered across the world….and used his ...er.. nether regions…to artificially impregnate myself. He was supposed to lead us to survival…..King Sombra” Cadence and Shining Armor froze…the monster that they’ve supposedly defeated almost a year ago at the Crystal Empire. How can she revive such a monster? As Shining Armor thought; he was about to lunge at Chrysalis and punish her right then and there despite her condition and in front of the princesses. But he was restrained by his wife, but no doubt she was feeling the same thing. “But then he betrayed me…called us weak and spineless since we fed on love!” Chrysalis was now openly crying at this point “If anything he is a true demon! He nearly killed me and he never let gave me the chance to explain that I bear his child! And before he attacked me…I was afraid, scared for my own life and when I realized what I had done... it was too late…..I’m sorry! *sniffs* I’m so sorry!!” The ponies couldn’t help but feel pity and fear. Pity for the fallen queen that had lost everything and fear for the demon tyrant returning for a second round against Equestria. Rainbow Dash merely asked “What are we going to do now?” “Easy!” yelled Luffy as everyone’s heads turned to the captain of the ship. “We’ll kick his ass like we do for all the people we faced!!” XXXXX On the edge of the Everfree forest, a zebra is attacked by Sombra’s mutated changelings. Wounded she sees the changelings taking only one item: a small chest. A regular pony would thing that chest is meaningless but she knew better. That chest contained one of the most evil and powerful magical amulets in Equestria which nearly lead the enslavement of Ponyville: The Alicorn amulet. The changelings soon flew off with the chest in hoof with a weaken Zecora bruised but alive. In other part of the forest, the mysterious man finds himself fighting against a pack of timber-wolves. After deafeating 2 of them with powerful kicks, he finds himself running for his life! “Where are all these wood dogs coming from!?” he says running. One of the timber-wolves soon attacks and grazes his face, nearly taking off his eye. But instead of his eye, it took off….something else…. “MY MASCARA!!!” > Chapter 11 - Origins and Plans > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Excuse me Luffy, did I just hear you right… saying about kicking his ass!?” asked Applejack. “Yep! Come on, how tough can he be?” Luffy said. “Luffy, you can be such a big idiot sometimes…” said Nami. “He’s more than a challenge Luffy, he’s almost as strong as me…” said Celestia. Twilight couldn’t believe her ears, that monster as strong as her mentor and raiser of the sun? Impossible! She thought within her mind as Celestia explained. “I believe it’s time I start I explaining on how Sombra became the monster you all know.” Celestia said. She closed her eyes as if to force memories from the backs of her mind, something she had rarely done. “You see, before he was the tyrant of the Crystal Empire over a 1,000 years ago” she breathes in “he was my first student I took under my wings and closest being I had to a son.” Everyone was breathless at the revelation…Sombra was considered as Celestia’s son!? A flashback appears in Celestia’s mind as she continued her story… In front of the castle gates in the dead of night, a foal with jet black mane and gray coat was crying out. Wrapped in a protective blanket with a note pinned on it, it is approached by rulers of Equestria: Celestia and Luna. “You see, 500 years after we’ve defeated the being Discord, the foal simply named Sombra appeared in front of the castle gates. He was a little thing, just born maybe, my sister and I immediately took him in to raise and care for him. Years past as the scene changes revealing a 10-year-old Sombra with his red eyes immersed in books labeled with advanced levels in magical arts and already practicing magic. ‘Tia! Check out this new spell I found!!’ he summons a teddy bear out of thin air and levitiates it. A warm smile only appears the ruler of the sun. ‘you’re progressing so much child. I’m proud to call you my student!’ and Sombra only says ‘when I grow up, I wanna be just like you!!’ “he was a genius in magic, he would read entire volumes in mere days and grew more and more powerful every week.” “Almost like me” Twilight thought in her head. “When he said he wants to be like me, I pushed him on, making him learn countless spells and other magic. The scene changes again revealing a teenage Sombra focused in a book. His eyes extremely focused and face revealing determination. ‘There must be a way, I don’t want to have Tia lose me’. He uses his magic to toss the book into the large, already read, pile of books. Celestia comes in with a slightly worried look ‘Is something wrong Sombra? You look tired, maybe you should rest’ ‘No Tia, I want to be by your side always… I want to become immortal so that you won’t have to suffer losing me’ “I should’ve suspected something when he started looking for ways to become immortal. He eventually started to become more and more power hungry rather than use magic for my emotional sake” The scene changes one more time with a furious adult Sombra confronting Celestia. ‘Don’t you get it!!? To become immortal I need power!! Make me an alicorn so that I may be immortal!!’ yelled Sombra. ‘That is enough Sombra!! Your fear of death and lust for power is no longer welcome in this castle! I’m sorry Sombra, but by my order I have you expelled from Canterlot!!’ Sombra’s eyes widen, he gritted his teeth and just about the royal guards were about to move in he yells “I HATE YOU I HOPE YOU DIE!’ and teleports to a distant location. “His words stung me, seeing someone I’ve raised since he was a foal yelling that he hates you brought me to tears. He disappeared for a few years until…” The scene changes for a final time as a royal guard runs down the royal hall “Your highness, the Crystal Empire has fallen to a terrifying tyrant!!’ Celestia and Luna are shocked by the news, although Luna seems slightly more depressed in recent years, ‘who has taken over such a large nation in just one day!?’ the guard tells the name ‘Sombra…he has hidden the crystal heart and enslaved all of the crystal ponies!’ Celestia gasps. The two sisters then teleport to the empire with the elements of harmony only to find a horrid state as all ponies were chained and marching in a depressed state with all of the surrounding crystal bulidings and tower consumed by dark black crystals. ‘Hello Tia, it has been a long time..’ Sombra appears much more sinister looking donning a red cloak, a crown and his eyes now emitting dark magic with the colors of green purple and black along with a dark shadowy aura surrounding his body. ‘You don’t have to do this’ ‘It’s already been done…teacher’ He lets out a demonic roar causing black crystals to spear towards the two sisters. “The rest as you know Twilight is history…” With tears starting to form in her eyes, Celestia’s face then turns to determination. “I don’t want to make the same mistakes again, not with Sombra, not with Luna, and not with you Twilight. I want to right the wrongs I’ve done over the years and end Sombra once and for all. The kingdom of Equestria and my services are by your side Monkey D. Luffy!” A knock is heard outside the door of the medical room “Hello? Is Princess Celestia here? I need to speak with her” and then enters a light-blue unicorn with a purple wizard cap and cape. The ponies except Chrysalis , Luffy and Celestia gasp “Trixie!?” “Trixie!? What are you doing here?!” asked Twilight. “Are you here to show off or be a jerk and nearly enslave Ponyville again!?” Rainbow Dash said as she flew right up to the light blue unicorns face. Fearful, the unicorn backed away a little before Princess Celestia intervened. Holding up her hoof before Rainbow Dash as if she was calling off an attack. “It’s all right Rainbow, this is Trixie I presume, the former bearer of the dark alicorn amulet?” Trixie looked down to the floor in shame; remembering what she had done nearly causing complete misery to the ponies of Ponyville as she ruled as the towns dictator. “I’m not proud for what I have done, that amulet kept on forcing me to the extra mile. At first I wanted to show up Twiliight, but the magic in that thing led me to banish her, then to conquer Ponyville, if I had not taken it off when Twilight and her friends tricked me, I would’ve gone completely power hungry!” Needless to say, Twilight wasn’t sure how to feel with Trixie’s arrival. Though she had forgiven her since the Alicorn Amulet incident, she’s not sure whether to still call her a rival, a friend, or just a regular unicorn trying to make a living. “Why are you here Trixie?” asked Twilight. “You see….about a few days ago, I’ve started having nightmares. They keep on getting worse as I see them. My point of view is horrible as I turn angry ponies & griffons into horrible monsters! I didn’t know what to do, I always woke up in a cold sweat, but there was a recurring theme in the nightmares…black crystals.” “If I didn’t know better….I think you’re sharing Sombra’s mind and you’re witnesses his construction of his army!”Nami said. “This is bad, Sombra has already made his armed forces, no doubt through his dark magic….but perhaps we can use you Trixie!” Celestia said. Trixie stepped back a little, unsure how to react. Sure it was nice to be some help but to be used is another matter. In response, she looked down as if ready to cry. “Are you going to toss me away, like I’m some kind of used tool?” she asked with tears forming in her eyes “No…no Trixie, we’re not like that! Perhaps it was a bad choice of words from the princess’s part. What we are really asking is that, we could use your help.” Rarity said. Trixie slowly lifted her head, and looked up to the Mane 6, and then to Luffy, then to Chrysalis, and finally to Celestia. Her head was down as well as if to apologize to the poor choice of word she had spoken to the unicorn. She breathed in, and then back out and Trixie’s face changes to determination. “Okay….I’ll do it, the Great and Powerful Trixie is at your service!” “I’m in too” Chrysalis says “I may not be able to fight, but I can still at least provide my knowledge of the Changelings for you. I won’t to get back at Sombra for destroying my hive” “All right!! I’m pumped up! Today we are no longer rivals or enemies. We all have a common enemy andI don’t want to see this place ruined by some crazy horse who thinks he’s king of everything. Let’s do this!!!” And with that, the stage is set for a powerful showdown between the ponies of Equestria and the dark evil forces of Sombra. > Chapter 12 - The False Alicorn Driving to War > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dark king Sombra was waiting ever so patiently for his scouts to return with a very important magical item. “If only I had enough time to use it properly over 1000 years ago…..my precious Alicorn amulet.” His finest creation, using not only the power of the crystals, but using his own piece of his soul to power the amulet; anyone who would weild the amulet would have powers equivelant to the alicorns but be possessed by his soul forcing the weilder to be like him: ambitious, lusts for power, and control. “Why the hell would you want some old thousand year old trinket anyway!?” saied Gilda while chewing on a turkey leg. Recently, all of the transformed beings that are under Sombra’s control have been much more carnivorous. “Patience my general, that amulet would’ve allowed me to defeat the alicorns earlier if they hadn’t intervened a thousand years before. But soon it will be in my possession once more, then I shall be able to defeat those element bearers and those alicorns. And of course you will have your revenge.” “Oh I like the sound of that!” said Lightning Dust flying by. “With your new power, my brother and I will finally be rich!” said Flim “And for once, all the power will belong to true ponies not those sissy alicorns and commoners” said Blueblood. Sombra merely grinned at the greed and hatred his subordinates have. The stronger their hate, the more power it feeds into him making him more powerful. What they don’t know is that when they agreed to be his subordinates for power, they are biologically tied to him. Like a parasite, the powers Sombra gave to them it have a second purpose. It feeds of their hate straight from their life force and goes back straight back to Sombra. The only problem is that if Sombra ever should fall, his entire army goes with him. But that won’t happen he told himself, after defeating the alicorns, I shall become immortal! “Your majesty! Your majesty!! We have it!” the mutated changelings return with the box in hoof. Sombra smiles insanely large. “At long last!” He opens the chest, and levitates the amulet. He places the amulet upon his chest and is engulfed by a dark red magic. And soon, a shadowy aura surrounds his back that elongates and takes a basic shape of dragon wings… His horn lengthens and legs grew by a few feet. He has become his own version of an alicorn as magic is now more powerful than ever mixed with the magic of the Alicorn Amulet and the dark crystals. He smiles and prepares his body for war. He tests his new wings and his new powers by draining a lowly changeling drone all of its power and life force leaving it as a dead empty husk of its former self. “This power…..IT’S EVEN GREATER THAN I CAN EVER IMAGINE!!!” he bellows. “Changelings, my generals, dragons and monsters, we head out now to take your vengeance against the weak alicorns and I shall be the new ruler of all of Equestria!” Everyone cheered and roared in content as they now move in droves towards the last location that the alicorns were last reported ….Ponyville. XXXX Back in the Thousand Sunny, Luffy suddenly shot his head up and his usual face of happiness turned to concern. As he looked towards the dark area of where he sensed the “wild animal” he now sees a growing dark cloud that is consuming everything. “He’s coming” said Trixie. “Luna and Shining Armor! Call as many troops you can from Canterlot and prepare them for battle!” Celestia ordered “Of course sister!” said Luna as she flew off. “On it!” said Shining Armor as he raced off towards Canterlot with his wife. “Oh yeah!” said Luffy cracking his knuckles with a big grin and a face of determination “here I come Sombra!” It was only a few hours until the dark army was approaching the outskirts of Ponyville and before Twilight's eyes the first battalions of the royal guard led by her brother were arriving as Sombra’s dark magic and his massive army was inching closer and closer to Ponyville. Both Celestia and Luna stands before the battalions inspecting each soldier since this’ll the first time they’ll ever see true action. The Changeling invasion would merely look like a schoolyard fight in comparison to the fight approaching. “My loyal subjects, today we face and enemy more powerful than what we have ever faced! He threatens to kill all who doesn’t fit into his image and enslave all of Equestria! Are we going to let this happen!?” as Celestia boomed. “NO!!” all the royal guards said in unison. “Then protect your country, protect your loved ones, protect your friends, PROTECT EQUESTRIA!!” Celestia yelled, louder than she ever yelled before that the Earth beneath her shook. The army roared in applause and immediately took their battle positions on the field where the dark army was advancing. Meanwhile the Strawhat Crew were just now coming out of the Thousand Sunny ready for battle. “Um shouldn’t we have plan first?” Nami asked. “Captains orders my dear, yohohohoho! By the way, may I please peak at your-“ “HELL NO!!!” she yelled. “This week I’m feeling SUPER!!” yelled the cyborg. “Yeah! I’m ready to fight!” said Chopper. “Okay Chopper, but please do your best and be careful! I don’t want to lose you” said Fluttershy tightly hugging Chopper. “Don’t worry Fluttershy, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m strong too! I’m happy as long as you’re happy.” Chopper gives Fluttershy a peck on her cheek. “I hope we don’t get absorbed by Sombra’s magic and die” said Robin calmly. “Stop it with the depressing talk Robin, you know I hate that!!” said a cowering Usopp. “You better fight captain Usopp” said Zoro as he draws his swords. “I’ll be sure to get most of them” “Like hell! I don’t want to be seen lower than you moss-head!!” Sanji said as he lit his cigarette. “Hell yeah!! Let’s do this!!” said Luffy…in which he immediately went off running towards the coming fight. “Luffy you big idiot wait!!!” yelled Nami. “Dammit…how did fall in love for this big idiot?” XXXX Over in the field, the two armies now come face –to-face in mere hundred feet of each other with Sombra and his generals facing Celestia and the element bearers. And what the Mane 6 are seeing isn’t pretty. Their old adversaries, mutated, monstrous and so full of hatred within their eyes, it was painful to see their old enemies in such a monstrous state. “Hello Dashie and Cry-baby” Gilda said. “Dream-killer” Lightning Dust sneered “Apple family” said Flim and Flam “Dirty commoner” said Blueblood as he looked at Rarity “Groveling royal, you’re not fit to rule anymore Celestia” a noble said. The ponies were silent as they faced the dark enemies, only Celestia spoke up. “How long has it been since I have last seen you Sombra?” she said in a calm tone. “Over 1000 years, hasn’t it….Teacher?” He said with last word with much distaste. “Everything I had done was to protect all of my subjects, even if it means destroying the closest one I considered as a son” “It’s too late for that now, if you had made me an Alicorn all those years ago…we wouldn’t have this discussion…but now, I see that you must fall if I were to achieve my ambitions.” Celestia then turns to a fighting stance, horn ready. “Let’s see you try…Sombra” “Let’s” he said, he then lets out a demonic roar signaling his attack and releasing a burst of dark magic as crystals spear towards the Equestrian army. The latter fires back as Celestia launches her own sun energy towards Sombra stopping his magic in a stalemate. Soon both forces charges into battle in the once peacful fields of Ponyville. The war that will decide the fate of all Equestria has started…. > Chapter 13 - The Battles Begins > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Charge!!” yelled Shining Armor as he leads troops into the massive brawl between the armies of Sombra and Equestria. As Sombra also orders his troops to attack, one of his mutated generals decide to join the fight. “Oh yeah, time to see some action” said Gilda as she launches towards the massive brawl. Sombra merely stands there, restraining some of his other generals. “What the heck Sombra let us fight!!” said Lightning Dust. “How else can my brother and I test our new weapons?” Flam says. Sombra merely smiled, as he watched his general enter the brawl. “In chess…the pawns always go first, and then strike with the rook to back the king into a corner. Do not fret my subjects, your match will come sooner than expected.” As Gilda divebombed into the center, only one thing went through her mind. “Rainbow Dash, you big loser!” Searching for her target her wings stretched out and flattened, with each feather becoming long bladed steel. “Where are you little Dashie! Come out come out, where ever you are!” she sang her bladed steel ready. Then she saw a flash of cyan blue and rainbow colored tail, “THERE YOU ARE!! YOU’RE MINE!!” as she flew off towards a flying Rainbow Dash cutting up hundreds of royal guards and changelings alike. “Gilda, what happened to you!?” Dash said as she flew in the sky looking back at her former, mutated friend. “what happened? YOUR FRIENDS HAPPENED THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED, and I’m going to make sure to end it!” Gilda roared as she inched close and closer to Rainbow Dash with her wings pointed right at her back until her steel clashed with 3 steel blades. “I can’t believe you started the party without me! Rainbow Dash” said Zoro with all 3 of his swords drawn and his bandana wrapped around his head smirking. “Huh…who the hell are you!?” Gilda asked. “Your opponent…..Rainbow Dash get out of here quickly!” Zoro yelled. “Thanks Zoro! I owe you one!” she flew off in a rush to get to the Wonderbolts as ordered by Celestia. “Oh no you don’t” Gilda was about to take off but.. “Ittoryuu….30 Caliber Phoenix!!” Zoro launches an attack that knocks Gilda back to ground in front of him. Forcing her to land with a strong thud. “Grrr…. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR YOU LOSER!!” “I told you..” he points his sword at Gilda “your fight is with me” XXXXX Back at the Sunny, Pinkie Pie and the Cakes were loading large barrels of soda into the Sunny… “Careful with that Franky!! The carbonation in this experimental soda is so high that it’s practically a ticking time bomb!” yelled Mr. Cake. “Exactly! It’s super carbonated making it perfect fuel for the Sunny’s Gaon Cannon, the Coup de Burst and the weapons. Come on out Channel 4 and 5! Black Rhino Bike and Brachio-tank are here!!” Out comes the 2 powerful weapons of the Sunny, with Chopper riding the Brachio-tank!” “Commander Chopper, reporting for duty!!” who is in tears. “Okay I’m back, the Wonderbolts are in position with the clouds and …”she sees the Brachio-tank and suddenly tears up with eye twinkles. “What is that thing!? It’s so cool!!!” XXXX As Sombra witnesses the battle, he finally sees Zoro facing off against Gilda weapons drawn. “So that’s a human…I can tell he’s strong…the scars prove it; Blueblood order your Usra Minors to attack now!” “Finally!” Blueblood exclaimed as he tugs chains that are surrounded by a dark aura. Pulling 4 Ursa Minors by their necks, he soon smiles maniacally. “Time to play my pets” Hauling the Minors by their necks, he forces them to attack the surrounding guards and charges towards the main army. When suddenly… “Thunder tenpo!!” yelled Nami as she launches a lightning attack that halts the 4 Ursas in their tracks. “What the!?” yelled Blueblood. “Dos Fleur: Slap!” 2 hands suddenly appeared on Blueblood’s face and slap him around. “Who dares attack me and harm my face!?” he bellowed. “Those ursas are so cute, it’s immoral to enslave such majestic creatures!” said Robin with her arms crossed. “I will not have enslavement when I’m around!” said Nami with her clima-tact set for action. “Hmmph….more pests to squash” Blueblood smirks. XXXX Close to the edge of the Everfree Forest, the man has finally defeated all the Timber-wolves whenhe hear explosions. “Hmm? What’s going on there!?” He finally leaves the forest to find a massive battle ensuing between armored ponies and horrifying creatures doing battle. “Where the hell am I!? Wait a minute is that!?” off in the distance he sees a ship with a jolly roger. A skull and cross bones donning a Straw-hat! “Can it be….Mugi-chan!?” his eyes soon tear up. Meanwhile back to the battlefield. “Where the hell are all these insects coming from!?” yelled Sombra. So far, many of his top generals are stalled in front of these humans and he is getting annoyed. “There you are, Sombra!!!” yelled Luffy as he runs towards him. “And just who are you?” he questioned him. “I’m Monkey D. Luffy! I’m the guy that’s going to kick your ass!!” Sombra couldn’t help but laugh, “You going to kick my ass!? You must be joking….Flim! Flam! Take care of him…” “With pleasure” a massive machine covered in hack saws, chainsaws, crushers and spears erupts from behind the 2 brothers. “Introducing the Super Speedy Murder Crushy 10000!!” “Boy that thing is big!! It looks….so awesome!!!” yelled Luffy with twinkles in his eyes. “Luffy, you big idiot!! Get away from there!” Nami yelled. “Your mine!!” yelled Flim as he launches an attack against Luffy. Yet he easily dodges with his Observational Haki. “This is my fight, stay out of this!” yelled Luffy. “Yeah right!” Flam was about to launch another attack when suddenly… “Fire!!!” a massive ball of light hits one of the arms of the machine causing it to explode. “What the!?” yelled Flim as he looks around until his eyes meet the massive Brachio-tank ridden by Chopper. With Franky mowing down with his Black Rhino motor bike, and of course Luffy’s eyes twinkle and cry. “SOOO COOOL!!!” Luffy cried. “Inventors huh? You two brother’s fight is with me and….” The Brachio-Tank ejects Chopper and merges with Black Rhino bike to for the General Franky “..The Iron Pirate!!!” “Hey no fair Franky! I was going to ride that awesome tank a little more! Oh well…. *changes in kung-fu point* whatchooo!! Kung-Fu point!!” Chopper exclaimed. “Fine, if you want a fight…. You got one Monkey D. Luffy!!” Sombra said. “Gum Gum ….pistol!!” Luffy launches his attack that barely misses Sombra’s face by a few centimeters. Sombra merely smiles “So you’re made of rubber, this could be interesting. Crystal Spear!” Sombra launches his own attack causing black crystal spears to come up from the ground and Luffy’s own shadow, impaling a few of the Changelings. “Yikes, this is new! You’re like Moria who controls shadows!” as he narrowly dodges the crystals. “Then obviously he knew how to use this!! Hand of the Underworld!” he yelled as shadowy hands came up from underground eager to strike at Luffy. “Gum Gum Gatling!!” he yelled as a barrage of fists pounded the ground shattering the crystals and forcing the hands to disappear back into the ground. But when he looked up, he sees the Sombra was gone! “Where the hell did you go!?” yelled Luffy looking around. Sombra suddenly appears from the shadows below of Luffy’s own shadow. “Right here!!” he was about to stab Luffy right in the back when suddenly he was interrupted by a voice. “Now hold it right there Sombra!!” said the voice as both Sombra and Luffy looked to their side to see none other than Magellan! The warden from Impel Down, but in a very peculiar position…almost like a ballerina. “Magellan!? What the hell are you doing here, I don’t have time to fight you again!” Luffy yelled. But then Magellan simply smiled a huge grin and yelled “JUST KIDDING!!!” as he lept into the air to strike Sombra right in the face launching him back a few hundred feet! “Memoirs of a mid-summer’s dream!!! Hahahahaha I’m spinning I’m spinning!” he yelled. “Wait a minute, it’s not Magellan; but that move is so familiar….” Luffy pondered as he sees the shape of a man twirling in the air. But then he stop mid spin and his true face is shown, with a pink cloak, ballet slippers, and stripped shirts, with a huge river of tears coming out of his eyes “LONG TIME NO SEE MUGI-CHAN, IT’S ME!!!! I’M STILL ALIVE!!!!” A huge smile emerged from Luffy’s face as tears also formed in his eyes. “BON-CHAN, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT YOU’RE ALIVE!! HOW DID YOU SURVIVE!?” *flashback* The prisoners of Impel Down are escaping through the doors of Justice as they flee Marine ships. With the doors slowly closing, Luffy speaks in the transponder snail “Bon-chan, we’re leaving, we’re heading to Marineford, good-bye friend….” “Mugi-chan!!!” as the transponder snail suddenly bursts into tears “You can do it, go…save your brother!!” said Bon Clay in the control room of Impel down just as the Gates of Justice closes shut. “Do you realize what you have done!!” yelled Magellan launching an attack at Bon Clay. “What do you have to say for yourself!?” “SATISFACTION!!!” *end flashback* Luffy and Bon-clay suddenly lept into the air and embraced each other in a massive hug with rivers coming out of their eyes. “I’m so glad you’re alive!!! I thought we lost you forever!” cried Luffy “It’s true!! It’s true! The flowers of friendship can make people last forever!!!” cried Bon Clay. “It’s Mr. 2!! He’s alive!” yelled Chopper. “Well I’ll be…” Sanji smirked. Zoro merely smiled as he blocks another attack from Gilda. “More pests to swat down…” as Sombra arises in his shadow from with a slight bruise on his face. “Don’t worry Mugi-chan, I’ll be by your side to the end!!” said Bon-Clay as he takes his Okama Kenpo fighting stance. “Oh yeah, I heard you meet his majesty Ivankov swirly-brow!” said Bon Clay. “SHUT UP!!!!” as Sanji yells drawing from his memories of his own “hell” “HELL MEMORIES!!!” yelled Sanji as he blasts a hoard of Changelings away from some of the Royal Guards. This fight…is only just beginning… > Chapter 14 - Cooking with a Dash of Chaos > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “I’m right with you Captain Spitfire! I may not be a Wonderbolt yet but I got the guts to prove it!!” yelled Rainbow Dash as she flew with the Wonderbolts and other pegasi to strike at the Shadowbolts led by captain Lightning Dust who horribly mutated by Sombra’s dark magic. As the battle rages below with new players like Bon Clay entering the massive fight, but Rainbow Dash knew that as long as one side controls the sky, they control the battle; and Rainbow Dash wasn’t going to let her new friends sacrifice their lives for nothing. “I like your guts, Rainbow Dash. I’ll keep an eye on you when you get back to the Academy” said Spitfire. “Let’s go! Wonderbolts: Alpha formation!!” she looks as Rainbow Dash and smirks a grin “Just try and keep up” Rainbow Dash also smiles “You’re on!” But they are soon greeted by a massive black cloud and the sound of buzzing, and in leading the center of it all, was the darkened Lightning Dust who obviously set her sights on both Spitfire and Rainbow Dash. “There you two are! Now everyone….attack!! Kill them all!!” she bellowed as all of the flying soldiers. Already at top speed she collides with the duo pinning them to a dense cloud. “*gasps* Lightning Dust!? Is that you!?” said Spitfire as she stares into the blood red eyes of her former cadet. “Just like Gilda, Sombra corrupted you…..HE’S PLAYING YOU FOR A FOOL!!!” yelled Rainbow Dash. Lightning Dust merely smiled. “Ha….ha…HAHAHAHA!! You honestly think that I was tricked, I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE YOU TWO..” as she pressed down harder against the clouds causing actual cracks to form on the clouds. “YOU TWO KILLED MY DREAMS!!!! I SPENT 10 FUCKING YEARS TRAINING THROUGH BLOOD SEAT AND TEARS AND YOU JUST TOSS ME AWAY FOR WHAT? FRIENDSHIP? RESTRAINT!? YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'VE SACRIFICED AND NOW YOU’RE GOING TO DIE FOR IT!!” As she bears her fangs to bite down on the 2 pegasi, a quick movement of the wings allowed both Spitfire and Rainbow Dash to escape. “Whew, that was close, c’mon Spitfire we gotta beat her! ……Spitfire?” as Rainbow Dash turned to her friend, she sees the yellow, flame-headed pegasi in a state of shock. “It’s….my fault…. In all my time as captain of the Wonderbolts, I’ve had to kick out many promising cadets…they become disappointed, but they always come back with happy new lives….but this is the first time that the one I kicked out that has turn to such lengths to seek revenge….and it’s my fault that so many are now fighting for their lives. I…I don’t know what to do…..” Spitfire finished her speech with tears forming in her eyes. “It’s okay Spitfire, but what matters is what’s happening here and now. And right now we need to beat her so that Sombra doesn’t take over our country.” Spitfire made sure to wipe away the tears and made a face of determination “You’re right, Thank you Rainbow Dash, hurry let’s get her! ” “Right..” she suddenly grabs Spitfire and starts swinging her around at her top speed “Hold on tight!” “I see your plan!” “Already turning on each other? How pitfiful…” Lightning Dust then charges at the swinging duo “YOU’RE MINE!!” “Here we go Spitfire! Ready!?” yelled Rainbow Dash “Ready!!” and then Rainbow flung Spitfire close to Sonic Rainboom speed as the duo yelled. “SUPER PEGASI SPEED CANNON!!” as Spitfire speed towards her target, she became encased in fire almost like a torpedo until she hit her target right in Lightning Dust’s chest resulting in the target's ribs being burned and crushed eliminating her ability to fly and fight. “No!!!” as Lightning Dust fell towards the ground. “I HATE YOU TWO!!!” she landed with a deep thud as she hit the ground hard resulting in a medium sized crater. Back up in the air, Rainbow Dash lowered her head somberly as if in mourning for this victory. “I’m sorry Lightning Dust, we could’ve been good friends.” “Rainbow Dash behind you!” yelled Spitfire as she pointed towards Rainbow Dash’s behind. She turned her head narrowly missing 3 changeling and Shadowbolt attacks. “GYAA!!” she yelled as she ducks, but then the 3 attackers are suddenly hit by a spinning tornado sweeping them away! “What the!?” she asked as she turns her head to see who saved her. And she finally locked on to her savior, she couldn’t help but blush slightly…it was Soarin’. “Just leave these attackers to me Rainbow Dash! I still owe you big time for saving that pie back at the Gala!” he yelled. “Hey! Maybe we can hang out after this over!” he added as he punched a changeling in the face. “I’ll just take you up on that offer Soarin’!!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she flew back towards the battle below to help a certain dragonequues with a massive prank. It was only a few minutes mets up with her partner, it was none other than Discord. Together they flew to their intended target....Sanji the cook. “Roundtable Course!” as Sanji yelled kicking away at least a dozen of corrupted ponies and changelings in the massive battle. “Damn! There’s just no end to them!” as he constantly kicks off the enemies from getting any closer to Ponyville. “Sanji! You okay buddy?” said Rainbow Dash as she flew down and landed beside him punching a few changelings. “I brought some help!” “Help? Like a need it right now! Extra Hachis!” Sanji yelled delivering a barrage of kicks yet only taking out a few dozen changelings. “Do you honestly think I wouldn’t be in this fight!?” said Discord flying down. “Oh great….you” Sanji sneered remembering full well of Discord ruining Nami’s image by putting on a clown costume on her earlier this week. “Hey, hey now, I’m on your side remember? besides.” Discord smiles as he then looks onto the army of changelings “I gotta have some fun don’t ya think?” And with the snap of his fingers, all of the changelings suddenly changes colors from their usual black to pure yellow within a hundred foot radius. “They look like cheese…. WHAT’S MAKING THEM LOOK LIKE CHEESE GOING TO HELP WITH EVERYTHING!!??” as Sanji yells as the new different colored Changelings continues with their barrage of attacks. “Wait, I’m not finished yet!” Discord exclaimed in which he then turned to Sanji with a big smile. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Sanji questioned. “I have discovered some…special information about you that will help a lot in this battle” Discord said. Sanji merely cocked his head to the side in slight confusion “What are you talking about?” Discord again smiled and snapped his fingers… What happened next was a shear nightmarish hell for the proud cook. He found himself once again in a dress, the most girlest dress in all of Equestria with cherry pink laces and fru-fru puffiness. His face was covered in complete make-up right down to the eye-liner and red lipstick. His once great hair was tied in pony-tail knots. And worst of all, his legs are once again bare legging with stockings and ballet-slippers. He was once again….an Okama. “No…….not again” Sanji stood horrified. “Oi! Cook-chan, you’ve embraced your feminine side!” Bon gives a gleaming thumb up “Okama Way!!” “No” Sanji” muttered. “Oh my Swirly brow, you look quite feminine!” Brook said. “No” Sanji muttered. “Wait till the Baratie cooks hear about this” Zoro smirked while blocking an attack from Gilda. “Hahaha, you look absolutely ridiculous!!!” Gilda gloated. But inside Sanji’s heart, it’s now a raging inferno equivalent to the heat of the surface of the sun. “NOOOOOOOOO!!!” Sanji bellowed as a massive flame burned around that’s glowing brighter and brighter. (a/n: imagine his flaming anger from Thriller Bark….then multiply that by a billion) Rainbow Dash at that point was a little bit afraid of Sanji and was hiding behind Discord’s serpentine body for shielding. The flames surrounding him grew bigger and brighter burning off his female wardrobe as his Diable Janbe ignited not just his legs, but his entire body is now engulfed by his technique. He starts spinning faster and faster and till his flames are condensed and erupt into a column of burning hatred, looking a lot like a flame tornado and even that starts to widen burning everything around him except for Discord and Rainbow Dash in which Discord casted a protective bubble around the duo. And the Sanji bellowed in voice louder than a volcano erupting right next to a town. “HELL….HURRICANE!!!!!!!” as the massive flame cyclone moved around the transformed Changelings burning them so much that all that were left were mere ashes. “DISCORD! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!” “Well now, that worked better than I’ve expected!” Discord merely smirked as the massive cyclone plows through thousands of Changelings before finally dissipating with a fully clothed Sanji in his regular outfit. “Crap….my cigar just went out. I need a light.” Sanji said cooly. > Chapter 15 - Okama Songs Slays > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Yohohohoho! So you’re Bon Clay, it’s a great honor to meet you sir!” said Brook as he shakes hand with Bon Clay. “So you’re a skeleton I see, as long as you’re Mugi-chan’s friend it’s fine with me!” said Bon Clay. “Now let’s take care of these changelings shall we?” Bon asked. “I’ll shall take them down with every muscle in my body, ah but I don’t have any muscles since I’m already dead YOHOHOHOHOHO!!!” said Brook. Using his Soul Solid sword from his cane, Brook slashes down a column of Changelings. “Swan Arabesque!!” said Bon as he takes down some massive manticores. “Hmph, these manticores are nothing like the ones in Impel Down at the Beast Hell Level!” Taking down enemy after enemy was daunting to say the least as every wave of attacks were deflected and countered by the odd duo. They were on a streak almost being competitive until… *SLAM!!!* A massive Changeling appears before the two as it roars for its prey. “Oh my!! Now how are we going to face these being Bone-chan!?” asked Bon Clay after hitting the beings legs but causing no effect. “I think I know how!” Brook said as he remembers a meeting the Straw-hats had before the battle. *flashback* “Now listen, one of my most dangerous Changelings before they were corrupted was the Changeling brute.” Said Chrysalis sitting upright in her hospital bed. “This Changeling is extremely powerful due to his size and ability to change into dragons, but it does one weak point. Its underbelly is the only point it can’t see but he’ll no doubt unleash anything to stop you to from stabbing that point” she said. “My! My! This is very helpful indeed, by the miss Nami, may I please peek at your…” “HELL NO!!!” Nami yelled as she bops Brook's skull. *end flashback* “Bon, keep him distracted! I know where to strike!” Brook yelled. “No problem, Bone-chan!” he peels off his mascara and flings them at the brute’s face “Mascara Boomarang!” causing small cuts in the brutes face & looking down at Bon who suddenly leapt up to his face “And…Bombardier Arabesque!!” Bon launches a powerful kick to his face causing the beast to lean back from the impact exposing his underside “Now! Go for it Bone-chan!” “Right! Take this!” Brook yells as he leaps into the air and unsheathing his Soul Solid and finally sheathing it back once he passes the Changeling giant. “What did you do, there’s not a single scratch on him Bone-chan!” Bon wanted answers, but as Brook was seathing his sword… “Pastoral Song: ……” the sword is fully sheathed “BLIZZARD SLASH!!!” as suddenly huge icicles speared out from the underbelly of the giant when he finally falls back defeated. “So cool!! Amazing Bone-chan!” Bon Clay exclaimed. “Yohohohoho! Thank you now let’s beat the rest!” “Right let’s go!” as the duo head into the battle once more to face more hoards of Changelings. > Chapter 16 - Girl Power > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Grrrr, all those generals were defeated, but I won’t lose to couple of women!” said Blueblood as he tugs on the chains of the enslaved Ursa Minors. “EXCUSE ME!!??” yelled Nami with jagged teeth. “Now, now, former prince….you shouldn’t underestimate us so easily!” Robin said cooly. “Former prince? ….. I’M ABOUT TO BE THIS NATIONS NEW RULER WRENCH!!” Blueblood exclaimed as he painfully tugs the chains on the enslaved Ursa Minors forcing them to attack the duo ladies. As the Ursa Minors swings their paws, they hit their mark “HA HA, I’ve gotten you!!” But suddenly Robin disappeared in a cloud of petal and Nami warped away in the air. “What!? What is this!?” “Mirage tempo!” said Nami who in reality was behind the massive beasts. “You’re so easy to trick for someone who wants to become the new ruler of Equestria.” Said Robin who also was right next to Nami but with her arms crossed. “GRRRRR!! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!” he bellows as he viciously tugs on the chains forcing the Ursas to painfully move to his whim. The Ursa’s themselves at this point were in full tears as the metal collar dig into their skin. “Disgusting, I will not allow the creatures of this land to be enslaved by beings similar to the Celestial Dragons! Dos Fleur… “ she said as she once more crossed her arms. “Already surrendering? Pity, you’ve would’ve been a great prize” as Blueblood gloated while no noticing two arms appearing behind him and taking his keys that was hanging on his saddle. “and now…Ocho Fleur!” as suddenly 8 pairs of arms and hands appeared with 2 pairs per Ursa Major as they toss each other the key unlocking each colloar and setting them free. Unfortunately, Blueblood was too busy gloating to notice until it was too late. “Now my pets KILL THEM!!” he tugs on the chains only to have no resistance at all! “What the!?” he asks only to find the Ursa running away back into the forest filled with happiness with their new freedom. “Grrr, if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself!” Activating his own dark magic, he summons massive chains that arise from his shadow and soon strike against the duo, Nami barely dodges the chains while Robin merely steps out of the way. “Don’t you dare underestimate us!!” Nami yelled as she activates her Clima-tact forming a large dark cloud over Blueblood. “I don’t think so!” as Blueblood exclaimed as his chains soon wrapped around the Clima-tact canceling the attack. “Hey, let go!” as she tugs on her weapon. “it seems to you have underestimated me girl! Now…” as Blueblood smiled, summoning more chains from his shadows with Nami still tugging on her weapon. “….DIE!” as he sent the chains spearing towards Nami. But suddenly stopped as Nami was still cringing in preparation of the attack. “What the?” as Nami slowly opening her eyes revealing Blueblood in chokehold from a very unlikely fighter. “Rarity!?” “Let go you …. Bitch!!!” as Blueblood insulted. “I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time you waste of a stallion!!” Rarity exclaimed. “Get off of me!!” he yelled as he attempts more chain spells. “Nami, Robin hurry! I can’t hold him for long!” as Rarity is slowly losing her grip on Blueblood’s neck. “On it…. Viente Fluer!” Robin exclaimed as 20 arms suddenly appeared on Blueblood’s body tying him up and lifting him up in a twisting motion just when Rarity lost her grip on the stallion. “What the hell is going on here!?” he yells. “Twist!” she exclaimed as in one continuous motion all 20 hands spun Blueblood and flung him into the air while still spinning rapidly. “It’s all up to you now Nami, finish him!” yelled Rarity. “On it! Black Ball!!” yelled Nami as massive chains of small black clouds with electricity in bubbles quickly surround the disoriented Blueblood, and within a second all the bubbles popped releasing the electrified black clouds. “Raiun Rod!” then all of the clouds connected as did their electric charges making a huge thunderbolt zapping the fallen prince “AGGGGHHH!!!!” he yelled as millions of volts from the electricity zap through his body. Once the attack ended, smoke was emitting from his mouth as his eyes were as blank as snow, he then collapses charred and defeated. “Whew! That was too close! Never underestimate us women Blueblood, we always come out on top!” Nami said. Soon the rest of the elements joined in on the massive brawl, Applejack using her powerful bucking plowing down many enemies along side Pinkie Pie using her Party Cannon to confuse the enemy before Twilight blasts them with her magic. Even the Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadence, using the knowledge of the enemy movements, thanks to Trixie's mind sharing with Sombra as he battles Luffy, were able to defeat the corrupted nobles. But the enemy continued to fight with intense ferocity as the dark magic gave them intense strength and magical ability. “Horn point!!” Chopper yelled as his horns grew to enormous length and rammed away many of the changelings. “It’s obvious that Sombra’s forces are thinning, but they just won’t let up!” as Chopper exclaimed, yet he remained focused on the battle. “I will not have any of my new friends give their lives in this battle, not even her…” said Chopper clutching his heart. But suddenly hear heard a monstrous roar, as a massive dragon obviously corrupted by Sombra’s magic stormed the field crushing everything in its path. “GAHHH!!!! A DRAGON!!” Chopper yelled as he used his horns to dig underground. “Maybe I can bury him, no but wait he can fly!” Chopper is constantly trying to think up of a way to defeat the large beast. “I know!!!” He suddenly came out of the ground and changed into his heavy point and punched the dragon in the gut. “Heavy gong!” he yelled putting his energy into that punch, yet he barely done any damage. Only now the dragon is now focused on the blue-nosed reindeer for his prey. “Yes, kill him my pet!” yelled Sombra as he commands the dragon. “Chopper get out of there! Jet pistol!” yelled Luffy as he entered his second gear and punched Sombra in the face so that he wouldn’t command his dragon. “Hold on I’ll think of something!” as he continues to punch the dragon. “Now hold it right there mister!” as the dragon suddenly paused in shock to see a puny yellow Pegasus hovering right on front of him. “Fluttershy!? What are you doing!?” yelled a worried Chopper as sees Fluttershy flying right up to the dragon’s maw while wearing a stern look on her face. “What so you think you are doing to my friends, just because you’re big and strong doesn’t mean you get to be a big jerk! What do you have to say for yourself!?” as she scolded the dragon, he eyes narrowed activating her “stare”. “Well…. What do you have to say for yourself!?” “Fluttershy…” Chopper just stood there in disbelief as Fluttershy made her case in front of the dragon. But the dragon, instead of what Fluttershy had hoped would back down, actually became furious and roared in her face. “Oh dear….” As Fluttershy merely skeaked as the dragon furiously roared and suddenly grabbed Fluttershy in his hands. “Kya!!! Someone help me!!!” she yelled as she feared for her life in the face of death, but as she looked down for help, she sees Chopper with his face in complete fury! “FLUTTERSHY NO!! Get away from her!!!” commanded Chopper as he switched into his kung-fu point, leapt up to the dragon’s face and used his hoofs to blast away the dragon enough to let go of Fluttershy. But when the dragon let go, Fluttershy was too scared to let her wings fly and was plummeting the ground fast. “Fluttershy! Hold on I got you!!” yelled Chopper as he dashed towards Fluttershy and caught mere feet before she had hit the ground. “Whew that was too close! Are you okay Fluttershy? Are you hurt in any way?” as he carries Fluttershy in his arms. Fluttershy merely said nothing as she stared at Chopper; soon her tears welled up in her eys and suddenly gave Chopper a huge hug. “Oh my Celestia, thank you Chopper, you saved my life!!” Chopper merely changed into his reindeer point and stood in front Fluttershy was merely blushing. “Oh it was nothing really; I just didn’t want anything to happen to you!” But then his face turned to a little of embarrassment “ cause you see Fluttershy….. I kind of have some feelings for you since I’ve been here and…well…” but Chopper mouth was covered by Fluttershy’s hoof. “Shh… you don’t have to explain it” as Fluttershy quickly leaned forward to him and gave him a passionate kiss. Once she pulled back, she merely smiled and said four little words “I love you too” “Fluttershy… you made me so happy right now!” as Chopper exclaimed. “Hey nice one Chopper!” yelled Usopp as he launches attacks from his Black Kabuto. “Shishishi! Good for you buddy!” said Luffy. “My, my…. This is an interesting turn of events” said Discord Robin and Nami merely smiled as she watches the scene unfold. Sanji merely made a sour face as he said in his mind “Damn it! Though I am proud for the little guy I’m losing the ladies! First Nami then Fluttershy! What’s next Robin?” But the romantic moment was suddenly interrupted with a huge roar as the dragon slowly came back up even angrier than before. “Chopper what do we do!?” yelled Fluttershy. Chopper merely smirked as he held up a little orange ball. “Time for my ultimate attack!” as he soon puts the ball in his mouth and eats it “Rumble!”” as he yells. Suddenly he grows to the size of the dragon as most of his limbs, horns and face. Chopper has entered his monster point. “Chopper is that you!?” asked a worried Fluttershy as she flew up to the giants’ face. The monster merely smiled and said in a deep voice “It’s okay Fluttershy, I’m still me! I can maintain this form for 3 minutes!” Fluttershy then smiled and said “it doesn't matter what you look like, you’re still the same little reindeer I fell in love with” she lands on Choppers nose and her face changes to determination “Now let’s beat these guys!” “Right! Now take this dragon!” as he lifts his hand, the dragon came charging at the duo ready to bite at the reindeer only to find that Chopper had easily dodged the attack and his hand came down on the dragon’s neck as might chop! “Chopper Chop!!” he yelled. The impact of the chop was so great that both the eyes and tongue of the dragon were bulging out and blood spewed out of the mouth. “and now… monster punch!” as Chopper launches another powerful punch to the dragon’s gut that he could hear bones cracking and organs squishing from within the dragon. But the dragon was still barely alive as Chopper yelled “Usopp! Finish the job!!” “Right! Take this dragon… Sure kill: pop red star!!” as Usopp launches a red pod from the Black Kabuto towards the dragon which suddenly grows into a massive green wolf made up of foliage. “IMPACT WOLF!” as the attack made a massive shockwave that resonated throughout the dragon’s body, effectively slaying it. “Wow! You’re amazing Chopper” exclaimed Fluttershy. Chopper merely blushed as he does his little happy dance….even though he’s still in his monster point form. “Complimenting won’t make me the least bit happy you jerk!” “That’s still really creepy!” exclaimed Usopp. > Chapter 17 - Machines and Blades > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Franky….. Dead Weight!” yelled Franky as the Iron Pirate merely let gravity do its work crushing many enemies from the massive weight. “Great! They’re on the ropes now! Time to super finish this!” he yelled preparing his sword, when suddenly a massive spear came close to hitting the head. “What the!?” “You didn’t forget about us did you?” said Flim in their massive killing machine. “Of course, once we’ll kill you, you mechanical secrets will be belonging to us!” said Flam. “And thanks to Sombra, we’ll be rich!” as the duo finished. “hmph, well obviously you two underestimate this machine, you have yet to witness the rest of the weapons!” yelled Franky. “Franky….bull charge!!” as the Iron pirate suddenly used his whole body mass to accelerate towards the large machine, but he reaches contact, he is pushed away by a large shield almost a foot thick! “Don’t think you’re going to beat us that easily, cyborg! Take this, porcupine wall!” Flim yelled as suddenly hundreds of razor sharp spikes grew out from the shield as it then rapidly moves towards Franky. “Franky…” Franky readies his left arm for a defensive maneuver “ Shield!” he yell as the arm revel a tiny shield no bigger than his arm. “WHAT KIND OF SHIELD IS THAT!?” Flam yelled. “IT”S PUNY!” Franky merely smirked “you hesitated…. WEAPONS LEFT!” as suddenly thousands of bullets was unleashed ripping apart the massive shield as his left arms opens up revealing the weapons inside. “our shield!! Hurry brother! Unleash everything we got!” Flim said extremely worried. “On it brother, SUPER BARRAGE!!” as Flam pressed all the buttons causing hundreds upon hundreds of spears, battle axes, swords, arrows and experimental weapons upon the Iron Pirate causing a large smoke cloud to surround the massive machine. “There! That should kill him right there, I can’t believe he was so stupid enough to not try and dodge all those attacks.” Said Flim. But as the dust slowly clears, both Flim and Flam jaws dropped to the floor as the dust finally clears revelaing none other than the Iron Pirate shining in the sun, with no damage at all!! Not even a scratch. But in response, the machine lifts his arm up and gives a thumb up “OK!!” Franky yelled. “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?” the duo yelled. “Time to end this!” Franky exclaimed as he put both of his arms together targeting directly at the heart of the murderous machine while at the same time the fore-arms of the Iron Pirate began inflating, “FRANKY……. GENARAL CANNON!!” as a massive light from where the hands were suddenly flashed up and fired a huge condensed beam that hit its mark blowing away changelings in the process and blasting away the brothers. “The Goan Cannon has reached land!!!” yelled Usopp with twinkling eyes “SO COOOL!!!” yelled monster Chopper who witnessed the entire thing. “HNNNNNNNNG………SSSSSUUUUUUPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!” yelled Franky as he makes his signature pose. On the other side of the battlefield, Zoro is still fighting against the last of Sombra's generals...Gilda. “Grrrrr, What the hell is going on! Everyone is dropping like flies!” screamed Gilda. She had been fighting Zoro for quite some time now she was getting impatient. “but unlike them I will not lose!” as she readies her winged swords she charges at Zoro and starts spinning. “TORNADO BLADE!” “Is that the best you really got?” Zoro said calmly with his blades in a defensive position. “Oh there more to me than you think!” Gilda sneered as the twisting tornado of blades suddenly grew to enormous lengths. “Now this … is a challenge!” roared Zoro as he’s prepared to take the attack. One the blades collided, it sent a huge shockwave that resonated throughout the battlefield blowing away some of the changelings. From that attack, Zoro smirked “You’re strong…but, your strength is FAKE!!” “Santoryuu: Bull Horns!” yelled Zoro as he charged Gilda like a bull with 2 of his swords pointing right at her at great speed. “What the!?” yelled Gilda as she barely dodges but Zoro still made minor cuts on her legs. “GRRR, you going to pay for that you dweeb!” “Dweeb? I see now, you don’t have any friends….pity, Luffy would've liked to have you on his crew” Zoro said. “SHUT UP! GRIFFON SPEAR!!” Gilda yelled as she narrowed her body like a spear and catapulted herself towards Zoro’s head. But, Zoro easily sidesteps to avoid the attack as Gilda collides with a tree causing a chunk of the forest to be destroyed. “You’re geting sloppy, your swordplay is nothing but a joke.” He soon starts walking away “You’re not worth my time griffon…” As Gilda pulls herself out of the rubble, she gets angry, so angry that Sombra’s dark magic within he corrupted her even further. She grew horns, her tail turned into spiked twin tails, her coat became black as night as her wings multiplied to 4 bladed wings and her face elongated to that it almost look like a dragon than a griffon. And her eyes, they were completely blood-red, no pupils with Sombra’s dark aura emanating from them. “What… !?” as Zoro turned back to face the deformed Gilda, he is slightly surprised at her knew form. “DON’T YOU DARE TURN YOUR BACK ON ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!!” she yelled as she then charged at lightning speed at Zoro. “Fine, let’s see what you got…..chicken” Zoro smirked. “I’M NOT A CHICKEN! HELL’S BLADES!!” as she pointed all of her wing blades at Zoro’s heart, yet only made slight cuts as Zoro deflected the monster away. “So you were able to make a tiny scratch, don’t get too cocky….” The monster Gilda merely growled like a hungry beast ready to strike as she then roared at her opponent. “sigh, time to end this!” Zoro exclaimed as concentrated his soul into a new form. “We’ll see about that!” as she once more charged at him with her wings now aflame ready to strike. “wait, what are you?” as she is suddenly greeted by a multi-headed, multi-armed Zoro with his eyes red. “Doesn't matter, YOU’RE WIDE OPEN! NOW DIE!” as she is within inches between her and Zoro. And then ...Zoro unleashed his blades… “Kiki Kyutoryu ...…” he lifts up all of blades as the world around him appears in slow-motion, and then… he struck “ ASURA ICHIBUGIN!” Gilda was then sent flying with all of her winged blades broken, over 100 deep cuts throughout her body, with all of the blood spilling as she then plummets to the ground, defeated. “I…..lost, no…..i hate you….” She weakly said now clinging to life. Zoro then took one of his swords out of his mouth, “You had potential…but in the end….it was your hatred and bloodlust that brought you to your defeat, now if you’ll excuse me, I have a stupid cook to compete with…” “WHAT WAS THAT YOU MARIMO!?” Sanji yelled. > Chapter 18 - Sombra's Rage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sombra merely stood in disbelief, all of his best warriors, his generals were defeated by the hands of these humans. Even with his magic, they were no match for their skill set, weaponry and abilities. And now, he’s facing their leader… “Oi, Sombra, what are you standing around for?” asked Luffy in his fighting position. “You….creatures….lower lifeforms…have defeated everyone.” Sombra then turned to anger “BUT I WON’T BE DEFEATED! I’M NOT WEAK LIKE THEY WERE!!!” he roared as suddenly green wisps began emerging from the surrounding changelings. And from that, their bodies were suddenly frial and bony until they succumbed to death, but the green wisps entered the body of Sombra. His fangs elongated, his wings grew longer, his muscles built more and a second horn grew from his forehead. “This fight is only just beginning, Monkey D. Luffy!” Suddenly, before Luffy had time to react, massive spiked crystals emerged from the ground nearly spearing his feet. But the crystals managed to get some cuts on Luffy’s legs, even though he was a rubber man. “Damn, not good! Gotta make this quick, Gum Gum…” he outstretched his legs and aimed towards Sombra “Spear!!” but as his legs we about to reach Sombra, he suddenly disappeared! “What! Where the hell did you go!?” yelled Luffy as his feet crushed the ground where Sombra was standing on. Suddenly his target appears, in the worst place possible. “Right, behind you…” as Sombra smiles using his crystal magic to stab Luffy at his side before he had any time to react and use his armament haki. “Gha!! You bastard!” Luffy yelled clutching his side to prevent blood from spilling out “That was cheap shot!” and immediately Luffy activated his second gear as he forces his body to pump more blood. “Second Gear!” he yelled as steam emits from his body as he readies his attack “Gum Gum” he the quickly moves to attack Sombra with a powerful kick “Jet Stamp!” The move was fast enough that Sombra had no time to react and was hit by a powerful stomp the face. “and now! Armamant!” as Luffy made a fist, he activated his armament haki turning his fist a black as night “Gum Gum!” Luffy then charged up to Sombra delivering a powerful punch to his gut “Bullet!” The attack was so strong it not only pushed Sombra back, it made him cough up blood as body took internal damage. “*cough* Don’t think I’m out of this fight yet boy!” he then glared at more weakened changelings and then took their life energy thus killing them. But by doing so, he was able to reverse all the damage he had received from Luffy’s barrage of attacks. “*sigh* that’s better. Do you really think you could beat me so easily Strawhat?” Sombra asked. “Yep! And I’m going to finish this too!” Luffy exclaimed. “Well, come at me!” as suddenly he charges straight at Luffy with his horns covered in large black crystals. Luffy also charges in equal ferocity with his fists coated with armament haki. Finally the 2 collided, in what seems an eternity a massive cloud of dust picks up as the attacks make such load noises, both Luffy and Sombra were both inaudible. Only a few distinct sounds as they announce each attack are sometimes heard. “Jet Gatling!” “Devil’s Maw!” “Armed Gatling!” “Crystal Shield!” “Jet Bell!” “Crystal’s Judgment!!” The fight was enormous as both Luffy and Sombra took damage from each other’s attacks. But no one had more damage than Sombra himself. Even in his new form he couldn't cause that much damage due to Luffy’s rubber body. “This is impossible!” Sombra said in his mind “I should’ve killed this fool easily in this form, by why…WHY AM I LOSING!” but at that moment, Sombra was hit by one of Luffy’s most powerful attacks… “GUM GUM RED HAWK!” as the flaming punch hit Sombra squarely in the chest, he coughs ferociously splattering blood as it came out of his mouth. “It’s over Sombra, give up..” Luffy said still in fighting position. “no..this is impossible..”Sombra muttered “there’s no way I can lose to him….” As suddenly a dark flame is surrounding the broken body. “there’s just no way…’ the next moment, all of Sombra forces just froze in place as green wisps are emerging from each on, including the fallen generals of Sombra “THERE’S JUST NO WAY….” Sombra stood and screamed on the top of lungs “I COULD LOSE TO HIM!!!!” Suddenly, all of the green wisps from all of Sombra’s forces shot over to Sombra himself. Meanwhile Trixie, while militarlily planning with Celestia, Luna and Cadnecet, gained a morbid expression on her face “by Starswirl’s beard, he wouldn’t, HE SHOULDN’T!!!” “Trixie, what’s wrong, what’s happening out there!?” asked Twilight. “Sombra’s doing the unthinkable! In his lust he….he’s…..” Back at the fight, the green wisps surround Sombra and enter him. As every single one enters his body, Sombra grew, and grew and grew. To a towering height that was nearly double the size of Oz, he grew 3 pairs of demonic wings, as now 3 heads appeared on top of his torso. His hooves were no longer hooves; they were clawed hands and horrendously putrid feet. His tail then split into 6, spiked dragon tails. As the last wisp entered his body, all three of his heads opened their eyes and smiled with jagged teeth and forked tongues licking their mouths. All of the ponies bellow couldn't believe what they had witnessed. Some fainted, other threw up, while others merely stood horrified. “My God, what it that thing!?” yelled Nami. “That’s a true monster!” yelled Rainbow Dash. “I can not believe my eyes! Ah, but I don’t have eyes since I’m dead… yohohohoho!” Brook joked. “It’s the devil himself, from Dante’s Inferno! Quite an interesting form he had chosen” Robin said cooley. “HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM!?” yelled Usopp yelled. “Chopper, I’m scared!” said Fluttershy as she hid behind Chopper’s giant hat. “I know Fluttershy, me too.” Said Chopper. “He’s absorbed all of his forces souls!!” yelled Trixie as the princesses and the 2 unicorns arrived to the battle field once again. “So…this is your true plan….isn’t Sombra?” Celestia said as she looked upon the grotesque beast that was once her first student. “We have no choice my sister, we need to put him down” Luna said somberly. “I know, Luna. I know” Celestia said. But then the monster opened his mouth a made an ear piercing screech, taking out most of the Equestrian forces, except the Straw-hats and the Mane 6. “Do you reall think you can defeat me now?” all three heads said in unison, for it wasn't Sombra anymore. As each head looked around, one of his arms reached over a part of the Everefree Forest and like clockwork, green wisps started emerging from all living things whether they were plants or animals, it didn’t matter for it was all power to him. “He’s absorbing the life force of the forest!” yelled Twilight who’s still in shock of Sombra’s gruesome transformation. “I won’t let him!” yelled Discord as he charges at Sombra. “Discord don’t!!!” yelled Fluttershy as she walked out from Chopper’s hat. But as Discord charged at him, Sombra merely grabbed and delivered a powerful electrical shock. “GAHHHHH!!!” yelled Discord as he twisted in pain from the electricity; once the attack had ended, he fell limp and Sombra merely tossed him aside. “Hmph, not even the being of chaos that the alicorns so feared can stop me!” he bellowed in such a voice it shook the ground below him. He soon glared at his enemies with a horrifying smile. “and now for new slaves so that they won’t get in my again! Crystal Trap!” he commanded as suddenly black crystals emerged from the shadows of most of the royal guards and soon encased them in state of suspended animation. They were still alive, just frozen. The princess however merely stood in shock as each of their loyal subjects in the royal guard are frozen in black crystals, and for the first time in millennia, Celestia didn't know what to do. “How, how can I stop this? I’m not even sure that the Elements of Harmony would be enough to stop him!” she said with a worried face. But none was more shocked by that statement than Twilight. She had always seen her as someone who always had a plan, someone who kept calm and was able to find a way through many crisis. “There must be some way to stop him!?” exclaimed Applejack. But to Sombra he’s only just beginning as each step he takes, the ground beneath him became dead black as life is sucked into his body. Soon, in place of fresh grass, were black crystals and poisoned soil. “I shall recreate this world in my own image! And once I’m done with this world..” he then glared at the Straw-hat Pirates “I’ll conquer your world as well as a start of my new empire!” “*gasp* NO!” yelled Nami as she places her hand on her mouth in a state of shock. “But first, let’s take a peek at your world” as he suddenly opened a portal to Luffy’s world that made Luffy gasp to see nothing but an island with a single flag…the flag of Gol D. Roger. “Raftel” Robin muttered. “Soon I shall conquer this world, reap it’s riches and become, how you call, King of the Pirates!” Luffy then made a face of pure anger, as he saw not only Sombra in those 3 heads; but all of the enemies he had faced and their activities to become King of the Pirates. He sees Arlong “Once I conquer the East Blue and Nami here draws those charts! I shall be King of the whole world!” He sees Crocodile “With the Pluton, all of Alabasta shall bow to me and I shall conquer the world becoming King of the Pirates” He sees Gecko Moria “Kishishishishi! I shall become King of the Pirates by using others to do my bidding, I won’t have to lift a finger!” He sees Hody Jones “Fishmen rein supreme over the human race! I shall become King of the Pirates with my fishman army and human slaves!” And he sees Caesar Clown “Shololololo! With Shinokuni I shall become King of the land of the dead.” Finally he jumped up to Sombra’s middle head, activated his Third Gear and punched him so hard, he toppled to the ground. The attack resulted in the portal closing and some of the royal guards being released. And in righteous fury he yelled “THAT’S CHEATING YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BASTARD!!” > Chapter 19 - Luffy vs Sombra > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Whoa, we better get back to the ship, it’s about to SUPER ugly here!” Franky exclaimed. “Right, get as many out of those black crystals and get them back to the Sunny, hurry!!” as the crew ran, Nami merely looked back and said to herself ,”Good luck Luffy..” As the both crew and the remaining royal guard frees the imprisoned ponies, Shining Armor manages to free a special pegasus. “Soldier, are you all right!?” commanded Shining. “I am..” said the guard. "Good! We must get the rest hurry!!" Shining ordered. As the royal guard scramble to free their comrades, Luffy merely stood before the massive giant that is Sombra. “You bastard…” Sombra said while rubbing the bruise that Luffy had made. “THAT HURT!!!” He soon opens his mouth and breathed out massive cloud of dark magic. “Oh no you don’t!” yelled Luffy as he stretched out his arms and twists his entire torso. “Gum gum…” he releses the tension “Fan!” and just as the name suggests, he starts spinning like a fan blowing back the cloud at hurricane speeds. “You bastard!!” said Sombra as he lunges his arms in a powerful punch. “I don’t think so” Luffy bites his thumb and blows “Gear Third! Armament! Gum Gum…. Elephant Gun!!!” as the massive blackened fist meets Sombra’s. Luffy’s powerful attack easily overpowers Sombra’s punch and pushes him back towards a nearby mountain. “You think you can beat me….I’m immortal….this is supposed to be my era!! I will conquer all before me!!” he bellows with his back against the hard rock mountain. “Your era?....A man said that a while ago…” his bit both of his thumbs and made a face of extreme fury “he was the bastard that led my brother to die!!!” “Third Gear!! Armamant!!” yelled as he inflated both of his arms and encoat it with haki. “and then…. Second gear!!” as he forces his legs to pump more blood into both of his enlarged arms causing them to steam. Meanwhile, Usopp heard those two techniques and became increasingly worried. “Oh no, he’s combining the 2 again?” he turns towards Nami. “Doesn’t he remember the last time he did that! He was barely alive and could hardly move!” Nami clearly remembers that fight as Luffy combined both Second and Third Gear techniques to defeat the warlord Gecko Moria, but at the end it nearly killed him in the process. In total worry for her love, looked upon Luffy and seeing his anger against the monster Sombra. “Please Luffy…be careful…” “I’ve had it with you! I won’t let you kill this land, I won’t let you kill my friends, I WON’T LET YOU KILL ANYTHING ELSE!!! GUM GUM….” As he yelled, the steam emitting from his blackened hands started to intensify and glow. The glowing grew brighter and brighter until finally both of the giant blackened arms bursted into flames! (a/n: This has all been leading up to this!!) “Impossible” muttered Sombra as now, from his view, he sees two incoming massive meteor-like fists heading straight for his face. Then, the fireballs made impact…. -(a/n: it's intensity of the attack is kinda like this) “DRAGON...STORM!!!!!” soon the massive fireballs were in rapid repetition as again and again, Sombra’s is pummeled into the mountain. Nowhere to run, his body had no choice but to take the punishment. And the punishment was absolute brutality as each impact made massive external and internal damage. Breaking his bones, crushing his organs, destroying his vital systems so much so his dark magic concentrated so much within him that suddenly his body started crunching up inwards of himself. But Luffy kept punching…. “Grrraaaaahhhhhhh!” Luffy bellowed as he continuously beat Sombra into submission. Back in Ponyville, as the princesses watches the scene unfold, Twilight was merely mesmerized at the sight of Luffy’s power, until she senses the dark magic within Sombra collapsing. “Princess, what’s happening!?” Twilight asked. “Sombra’s magic is imploding, his body can no longer take it and is being destroyed……it’s over.” Celestia couldn’t but shed a tear. “It’s finally over..” And just a Celestia had said, Sombra’s body couldn't take the damage anymore and imploded, finally killing him and releasing hundreds upon hundreds of green wisps that float up into the sky; but not before he had one last trick. “I may die, but I’ll take you with me!!” so using the last of him magic, he activates a spell that pierces Luffy in the heart. “Have fun with the last 5 minutes of your life rubberman.” He bellows as now he is just a darkened black wisp, which is suddenly pulled to the earth and sinks in. “I’ll see you in Tartarus….” Luffy merely smiled as now fell towards the Earth…he had won, but now he only has a few minutes left to live as as plummets to the ground below him all he could think was “Everyone is safe now, even Nami….I’m so glad” as he closes his eyes, he remembered what Sombra’s soul told him ‘Have fun with the last 5 minutes of your life!’ “5 minutes huh? Well, I had a good run” just as he plummets, he is then suddenly caught by Rainbow Dash. “Whoa Luffy that was awesome!! You totally showed Sombra who’s boss! Luffy? You okay there bud?” she places her ear close to Luffy’s heart. Her face changes to dread as she hears Luffy’s heart slowing down “Oh no…. CHOPPER!!!” she yells as she races to Ponyville. Back at Ponyville, everyone was in celebration in the victory against Sombra. Joy and excitement filled the air while Chopper reverted back to his small self and can’t move. “Chopper, are you okay!?” asked a worried Fluttershy as she nudges a motionless Chopper. “I’m fine, after using Monster Point I can’t move my body for a few minutes.” “Mugi-chan did it!!! He’s gotten so strong!!” yelled Bon Clay. Most of the crew merely smirked as if they already knew he was going to win. But when they were about to join the celebration, they were greeted by a yelling from a rainbow-colored mane Pegasus with Luffy in her arms. “Guys!! Guys!! Something’s wrong with Luffy!” “Lay him down here! Chopper’s incapacitated right now! Don’t worry, I studied some medical spells for some situations like this.” As Rainbow Dash laid down Luffy in front of Twilight, Usopp couldn’t help but burst into tears. “I knew it! It finally caught up to him!” yelled Usopp as he cried. “What do you mean?” asked Luna. “Those techniques he uses cut his lifespan massively and now that he used the 2 together, it probably wiped out his lifespan!” Usopp cried. “Oh no, not again, he also received treatment against Magellan’s poison that wiped out 10 years out of his lifespan!!” Bon-Clay yelled. “Luffy, no…” Nami fell to her knees. “Don’t die please….” She embraced Luffy as he lays unconscious “I love you…. I want to have a family together after our adventures….like Bellemire..” The crew lowered their heads somberly already accepting the death of their captain. “No..” said Princess Celestia. All heads turn towards the sun princess as she approaches Luffy’s unconscious body. “What he has done for this land, for this world! Is more than I or Luna could’ve ever had done. For that we thank you and your brave captain. I will not have him die before me.” She looks at Luna and Cadence who nod in argreement. The 3 alicorns approach Luffy and aim their horns at Luffy’s heart. Their magic activates and enters Luffys body which experiences a transformation. All of Luffy’s bruises and wounds sustained from the battle and his skin looks a lot less pale. The trio then lift their horns, and Luffy slowly wakes up as he opens his eyes. “N-Nami? What happened” Luffy asked. Nami was merely in tears as her lover was back, pulled from the brink of death. And all she could do….was punch him in the head…hard. “OW!! What was that for!?” asked a confused Luffy rubbing a big bump on his head. “You big idiot!! Do you know how worried I was, I thought you died!!” she soon tears up once more “I just couldn't stand losing you again.” She then makes a passionate kiss with her captain, and the captain kisses back. Warm smiles then follow the crew, relieved that Luffy was alive and well; except for Sanji who was bawling his eyes out. “What did you do?” asked Chopper who’s now able to move his arms. “We gave him 50 years, the spell we did extended his lifespan so that he wouldn’t die” Luna explained. “But, like Usopp explained, his techniques will deteriorate that extra 50 years. So be more careful next time, okay Luffy?” Cadence asked. “Okay promise!” Luffy exclaimed. “Thank you so much Celestia!” said Nami. “Hey you know what this calls for…. A PARTY, the largest one I’ll ever put together!!!” yelled Pinkie Pie. > Chapter 20 - Farewell Equestria! Return to the New World! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a massive celebration in the slightly ruined Ponyville as many ponies, including the princesses sing, dance, eat and play in celebration of the triumph against Sombra and his army. It was by far, one of the largest parties that Pinkie Pie has ever thrown yet, and she’s not even half done! Nami, Zoro and Applejack decided to have a drinking contest to see who would drink the most apple cider, with Rainbow Dash keeping track. Zoro was already out after 10 mugs but now it was a race of the ages…in drinking. “They are both at 25 mugs!! Can they take anymore!?” announced Rainbow. “Just so you know. *hic* I never lost a drinking match yet” Nami said drunkly. “Funny *burp* pardon, neither have I” Applejack countered. Soon after 5 more mugs of hard ciders.. “just…one…more …sip…” said an incredibly drunk Applejack as she shakes her 30th mug trying to finish it and win the competition. But before she could drink the last sip, she finally succumbs to her alcohol and collapses into an unconscious state. “Hahaha! I won!” exclaimed Nami as she easily chugs down her 31st mug. But then she falls back on her chair drunk out of her mind. Meanwhile, Rarity has been asking where was Fluttershy. Little does she know was that Fluttershy and Chopper, was having an extremely romantic evening a private room. By the time they came out, Fluttershy was wearing Choppers hat and both of their fur was extremely ruffled. “There you are dear Fluttershy” said Discord as he came flying down beside. He was wearing a few bandages and scars from the battle. “Oh, having some fun are we?” as he raised an eyebrow. “Oh uh, are feeling better Discord?” asked Fluttershy. “but of course, your boyfriend there is a really good doctor! If it wasn’t for him I would’ve been much worse!” Both Chopper and Fluttershy blushed when he mentioned the word boyfriend. But nevertheless, they were in fact a couple. “I’m going to check on Chrysalis, just to be sure she and her child are fine.” Chopper said switching to his reindeer point and gave Fluttershy a peck on the cheek. “Be right back!” As maneuvered through the celebrating ponies, he finally finds a Chyrsalis actually laughing as much as Pinkie Pie as she demonstrates her deceptive powers. “Oh look at me I’m Celestia! I love cake and will send others to do my work for me!” Chrysalis said in a silly voice in her Celestia disguise. Luna couldn’t help but laugh a lot, although Celestia did look a little bit offended by that remark, yet still cracked a small smile. “Oi! You can do the same thing as I do Crysalis-chan!” exclaimed Bon Clay. “As for demonstration” he places his right hand on his face and turns into Ivnakov! “I can imitate anyone too! Hee haw!!!” as he is dead on with his Ivankov, he is suddenly kicked by Sanji. “NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!! I NEVER WANT TO SEE THAT FACE EVER AGAIN!!” yelled Sanji in a complete fury. “But you completely embraced your okama back at that fight! OKAMA WAY!!” as he gave a thumb up. “SHUT UP, THAT WAS A PRANK FROM THAT ASS DISCORD!!” Sanji bellowed. But suddenly, 2 hands emerged from his cheeks and covered them preventing him from yelling. “Calm down Sanji, we’re here to celebrate. Don’t take it out on Mr. 2 there.” Robin said calmly while sipping some cider. “Yeah Sanji!” said Luffy. “Chill out, we just beat up some asshole from killing everyone, take a load off!” Luffy said with a big smile. This celebration was massive, with Franky showing off more of his abilities, Usopp telling his stories to the little fillies and colts. And of course Luffy being..well…Luffy, everything was full of life and energy. Soon Brook stepped up to the piano and asked a quartet to accompany him. “Yohohoho! Thank you for lending your musical skills miss Octavia, this song is very special to me and my whole crew!” Brook exclaimed. Octavia merely smiled and spoke softely “you’re welcome, though I’ve never played this song before, nor played with an undead skeleton.” “Yohohoho! Don’t worry, you’ll know the song, for it’s one of those songs that fills people with joy and thirst for adventure! And it’s the favorite song, of a very special friend of mine.” Brook then looked to the skies and said to himself. “Laboon, I’ve made so many new friends! Even though I’m at another world, I’ll always remember you!” He then turned to Octavia and her quartet. “Ready!?” The quartet nodded and prepped their instruments, then Brook tapped his foot to the tempo and began to play the opening notes. As he played, it immediately caught the attention of the crew which put on large smiles. “Oh this song huh!?” smiled Luffy. “I think I’m sober enough for this tune” as she stood back up from her drunken daze. “Ow! Count me in!” yelled Franky as he struck his pose. “I love this song, sing with me Fluttershy?” asked Chopper. “Of course!” said Fluttershy. Soon the song starts… (a/n: sing along if you like) “Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~!” Soon everyone, pony and pirate sang along. “Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho~, yo-ho-ho-ho~!” “We’ll deliver Binks’ Sake Ocean breeze shall guide the way Sailing forth atop the waves Across the briny deep~! The evening sun is dancing high Painting circles in the sky! As it sinks, the song of birds Ring out across the sky~!” As everyone sings, Pinkie Pie, Chopper and Rainbow Dash have chopsticks stuck up their noses doing their strange dance with a little basket. Luffy, has begun dancing with Nami hand in hand in almost waltz, it was by far a magical moment for Nami as she dances with her new lover. “The hometown port is far behind Out of sight but not of mind Smiling wide our joyous song Will boom across the shore~! Waves crash and they lose their hold On sprays of silver and of gold We pass this upon our course Towards the ocean’s end~!” As the band plays, Octavia can practically fell the warmth of the song every note she plays on her cello resonates within her. It grew so much, she was able to make a smile that shocked Vinyl to see her friend so happy. “When it’s time to rest our heads The sea’s our pillows and our beds We proudly bear the skull and bones Upon our flags and sails~! Raging in the far-off sky A violent tempest we can spy Beat the drums, our merry ship Shall dance atop the waves~! Don’t let fear control your head Or you may find yourself dead So hold your ground and come the morn You’ll greet the rising sun~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Then, everyone began to sing softly. “We’ll deliver Binks’ Sake All along its merry wat Our journey shall take weeks and days But never feel too long~ Waving our goodbyes to friends Whom we’ll never see again Don’t despair for they’ll be there Forever in our dreams~!” At this point everyone was singing in great chorus, even the princesses and Chrysalis. “We’ll deliver Binks’ Sake Booming song shall clear the way Adventure HO! We’ll go while singing Songs about the sea~! One day we’ll meet Davy Jones And on that day. We’ll turn to bones Until that day, we’ll wander in our Never-ending tale~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! Yo-ho-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho~! With the song ending, everyone cheered for the band . “Well done Octavia! That was a wonderous performance!” Brook praised. “That was one of the warmest songs I’ve ever played. It made me feel so happy!” as Octavia exclaimed. “Yohohohoho!!” Brook laughed. Even when Nami and Luffy finally finished the dance, they soon embraced each other in warm kiss. It was by far, one of the most romantic scenes Nami has ever encountered. The party lasted for 3 days, but after those days it was time to return to the Grand Line. As the crew takes their supplies onto Sunny, they knew well that it was time to return to their world and continue their adventures in the Grand Line. Though as they packed, they were a little saddened by the fact that they had to leave. “Do you really have to go?” asked Sweetie Belle with a really sad face. “I’m sorry, but yes we must return to our world to achieve our dreams.” Said Usopp. “I must ask, what will become of Chrysalis?” asked Robin. “She will be under my protective custody until her foal is born, after that the rest is up the Celestia.” Twilight explained. She felt like it was the right thing to do since the Changelings were pretty much extinct by the hands of Sombra. But, Chrysalis was willing to pay the price and was actually happy that she had made friends. “Okay 1..2…3!! Super Pull!” yelled Frank as he commanded a team of pegasi to pull the Thousand Sunny into the reservoir so that it may easily sail back to their world. SPLASH!!! The sounds of water crashing is heard as the ship makes contact with the water and causes some waves as it floats towards the center of the reservoir. “ All right Luffy, it’s ready for sailing!” yelled Franky as he takes the helm. “But how are you going to get back to your world?” asked Rarity. “Through us,” as the two royal sisters and Twilight Sparkle approached the edge of the lake. “We will open the portal using our magic so that they may easily sail back to their world” Twilight explained. “But before they depart, I have something to declare…” Celestia said. “May I please have everyone attention please!?” declared the princess as everyone turned heads towards her. “Spike? May you please write this down?” she asked the little baby dragon. “Already have the pen and quill your highness!” Spike said ready to write. “I, Princess Celestia of Equestria hereby declare that the human beings known as the Straw-Hat Pirates along with any other friends and family, are hereby granted full citizenship of the nation of Equestria. Should they ever return to our fair land, they are granted total rights and have full permission to take up temporary or permanent residence on this land.” As Celestia finished and Spike made the last period on the paper, all ponies cheered for their princess decision on granting citizenship for their saviors. “We’re citizens now!? Wow, thank you Princess. When we leave we’ll never forget you all.” Exclaimed Robin. “Yohohohoho, I hope you all enjoyed my music!” said Brook. “Alright everyone, the preparations are set, she’s ready to set sail!” yelled Franky. “Oi Bon-chan! Aren’t you coming!?” yelled Luffy as he sits in his favorite seat. “Sorry Luffy, the inmates back at Newkama Land in Impel Down still need their king! But remember Luffy” Bon gives a thumbs up while crying “The flowers of friendship never die!!” Luffy also gives a big smile and also gives a thumbs up. “Well miss you all you guys! It’s been really fun!” “All right, ready sister?” asked Celestia. “Ready Tia!” said Luna. Both then closed their eyes and concentrated their magic, as their horns glowed a white light appear in front of the ship. Then the light grew larger and larger until it was as big as the ship itself. With the portal now opened, it revealed a bulky island shore with white sandy beaches. “The log pose is pointing at that island.” Nami then smiles, “It’s Dressrosa!” “Goodbye everyone!” yelled Robin waving goodbye as the ship now sails through the portal. “See ya!” yelled Usopp “Bye Fluttershy! I’ll try and write to you, but I don’t know if it’ll cross dimensions!!” yelled Chopper. “Bye! We hope to see you guys again!” waved Nami. But suddenly Twilight gains a face of urgency and teleports herself onto the ship. “Twilight!? What are you doing!?” asked Nami. “Sorry! Before I forget, take this!!” she hands over a glowing purple crystal to the navigator. “What’s this?” asked Nami. “In one year time, that crystal will be fully charged and will have enough power for you and your crew to travel to Equestria at any time! Remember, it is going to take a year to charge up!” Twilight then teleported back to her friends embracing them with a hug before turning towards the Straw-Hats “Goodluck everyone I hope you will obtain all of your dreams!!” “Goodbye!!!” yelled the entire crew as finally they cross the portal to their world in which the portal quickly closes. “Will we ever see them again?” asked Rarity. “I know they will” Fluttershy smiled warmly as she places her hoof on her abdomen, she feels another heartbeat. “I just know it” Back with the crew they’ve arrived at the shores of Dressrosa, eager for adventure. “Yay!! We’re back!!” Chopper yelled. “So this is Dressrosa, there’ll no doubt be strong warriors here” said Zoro. But suddenly they are greeted by a small ship, it none other than Trafalgar Law, Kine’mon, Momonosuke and their captive Caesar Clown. “Hmm? Straw-hat-ya? How’d you get ahead of us? There have been massive impacts in the world since we kidnapped Caesar” asked Law. “This is a massive dishonor to myself! I refuse to be second!” yelled the samurai. But the rest of the crew merely smiled warmly and Luffy simply said. “You wouldn’t believe us if we told you!” > Epilogue - 9 Months Later > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful day in the New World and the Straw-Hat pirates were establishing themselves as very powerful pirates. Many months ago they have not just defeated the Donquixote family, but also the powerful warlord Doflamingo over at the island of Dressrosa with their proper king Riku at that the throne, along with many officers sent by the emperors Kaido, Big Mom, and Blackbeard. But now it was a time to take a break from all the action and get some R&R, as the sun warms the deck of the Thousand Sunny. As Nami was working on her tan, Luffy was busy resting on his special seat, recently the 2 became a couple and so Luffy was gladly sharing his seat with Nami and nobody else. As Luffy was laying back on the head of the Thousand Sunny, he is suddenly greeted by a bright light. “Hey what the…?” he questioned as the light grew intense and drew the attention of the rest of the crew members. “Hey, that looks a lot like the light from when we entered Equestria!” noted Nami. Suddenly a bright red fire-like bird bursted out of the light carrying some papers in its talons and soon landed onto the arm of Robin. “It’s Philomena! Princess Celestia’s pet Phoenix! And it looks like it has some messages for us!” Philomena nodded her head, and as soon as she arrived she flew back into the light returning to her world. When Nami unscrolled the paper, it is revealed to be pictures of what was happening since they left. And the first picture that Nami laid her eyes on, she immediately put on a warm smile. “Hey Luffy, looks like somepony moved on up!” she displays the picture. It was none other than Twilight Sparkle, but this time, she had wings and a royal dress. She had become an alicorn and thus a princess. Twilight merely stood there smiling, with tears in her eyes and of course her friends and family all giving her a massive group hug, “Whoa! Super cool!” yelled Franky. The other pictures were happy times from Rainbow Dash in her junior Wonderbolt uniform to an Apple Family reunion to the massive Equestria games to incredibly Twilight obtaining a huge crystal castle. But the last picture really caught the eye of Chopper, it was Chrysalis and Fluttershy; both having large pregnant bellies and smiling so warmly as if they had seen the cherry blossoms of Chopper’s island. “It’s Fluttershy!” exclaimed Chopper “But when did she get pregnant, unless….” Suddenly he blushes intensely remembering the day he spent with Fluttershy in bed. “Hey congrats buddy! You’re going to be a dad!!” Usopp exclaimed while hugging Chopper. “I-I-I…..” he soon faints but with a smile on his face. The rest of the papers were letters depicting their lives since Luffy had saved them from Fluttershy's and Chrysalis pregnanct progression, to the lessons they learned about friendship and especially the battle against the evil tyrant Tirek, but they all said the same thing in the end. They all wish for Luffy and all of his friends to achieve their dreams and they’re behind them all the way. “Oh yeah!! I’m pumped up!” He stretches his arms to the very top of the mast and yells at the top of his lungs “I’m going to be King of the Pirates!!!” But suddenly something caught Zoro’s eye, it was a pirate ship. But as he looked through the spyglass, he saw the flag of the ship. “Hey Luffy, check this out!” Zoro called. Usopp then looked in the spyglass as well and suddenly he put on a huge smile “Luffy….it’s the Red-Haired Pirates!” Luffy gasped, that could only mean one thing in the entire world. “Shanks….” Said Luffy. To Be Continued…..
