Chapter 3: A city of the Sun and Moon
King Dedede awoke in the middle of the morning and found Bandana Dee, Susie, Adeline, and Ribbon just waking up. He looked around and found crowds of strange equine like creatures staring at them in fear or shock he did not know, they appeared to be in some sort of city with a massive castle in front of them.
”Who are you and why have you come here?”
One wearing armor said, Dedede guessed he was a guard of some kind. Dedede decided to be nice and put on his royal face he would have when talking with his subjects
”I am king Dedede of planet popstar and first off, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS PLACE!”
Dedede yelled with fear as he hopped on Bandana Dee’s back, Bandana Dee grounded under his king’s weight.
”Do we really have to do this every single time you get scared my king?”
Bandana Dee asked
”You are currently in the city of canterlot in the land of Equestria you will now be taken before the princesses for judgment on what to do with all of you,”
the guard said authority.
"Equestria?!"
Dedede said with shock
"oh.... wait! are there any major events happening soon?"
"Yes"
the guard said
"in fact, the summer sun festival is happening in just a few days"
"ok thank you"
Dedede said and then whispered to himself
"If I know them they're gonna attack at that time for food and when they do, it'll be time to reclaim what I lost so long ago"
”Wow now that's a lot of natural resources”
Susie said with aw as she looked over the balcony they were near and into the grassy valley beyond.
”Don't even think about it Suise just because you're insane father and star dream are no longer in control of your company doesn't mean you get to try and mechanize every planet you come across, besides we only just got here!”
Dedede said with frustration he didn't want to have a castle destroyed especially not castle Dedede again. They were then lead by the guards through the castle with many rooms of the equine creatures working tirelessly, the final room they passed was one of stained glass showing many pictures that Dedede, assumed were their history. One was of six of the creatures, shooting a rainbow at a dark form that Dedede felt a similar presence it had the same feel as Nightmare, Dedede cringed a little at the sight of it, another picture was of a white and black equine creatures whiling around a strange figure that looked like a goat mashed together with many other things, another was of a dragon looking creature holding a blue heart and a dark shadow being blasted away from it, the last one was of a pink and blue equine creatures in a heart formation and black figures flying away from them, the figures had black chitin and razor-sharp fangs and horns that looked like lightning, the largest one Dedede felt the same presence as Marx strangely.
”I wonder where that little jester is....”
Dedede thought. They walked into the next room, which happened to be the throne room of sorts, Dedede was proud this throne room was pretty close to his levels of royalty, therefore, Dedede would respect whoever was ruling here, but they were unexpected.The two royal equine creatures were exactly like the ones on the stained glass! One was black with stars flowing throw her hair which Kirby could take advantage of if he ever fought her, the other was the white one with rainbow-like hair unlike the glass, she also had a golden crown with an amethyst gem in the top.
”Greetings, strange creatures, be ye friend or foe”
Luna said she had been practicing her pirate accent thanks to Pinkie pie and she wanted to test it.
“I’m king Dedede of planet popstar this is my number one servant Andrew Dee but I just call him Bandanna Dee"
“Hi....”
Bandanna Dee scrunchy said under the weight of his king,
“This is Adeline the human"
Dedede said pointing to her as she was painting a picture of a picnic and soon spewed food for them to heal their wounds with
“and that is Ribbon the fairy”
he said pointing to Ribbon who was holding a crystal she had brought from ripple star as a good luck charm when she and Adeline set out for Popstar when the Jammba heart fragments rained.
“And finally this Suise who I still am not sure about after what her insane father did a few months back”
Dedede said cautiously as he pointed to the new President of the Haltman works co.
“and who may you two be and what may you be?”
Dedede asked with intrigue.
“You're in the land of pony kind known as Equestria, that is made up of three races, unicorns who have magic, pegasi who have wings, and earth ponies who have nothing really worthwhile besides their strength and determination,” Celestia said
“as for me and my sister and the rulers of ponyville and the crystal empire respectively, we are alicorns, a combination of all three races, me and my sister weren't really born Persie more so created, we were made by the creator of this world at the dawn of time known as a messenger of one above she referred to, we can also move the sun and moon to our will and it is our duty not only rule but also make sure to raise the sun and moon at the right times, and as for Cadence and Twilight, Cadence was born alicorn due to her parents being ones but since their passing, we have yet to know their origins, and as for Twilight, well she earned it and is currently the hero of all Equestria conquering things even me and luna fail to manage”
Celestia said in one long sentence, so much so Dedede rolled his eyes.
“How did you even get here?” asked Luna
“well we were just about to head back to popstar after quite the adventure, but out of nowhere a portal appeared and sucked us all up, not sure where the rest of us went but I’m willing to bet somewhere near here,” Suise said,
”as of now there are guest rooms down the hall to the left, you may stay here until we find your friends or find some way to send you all home,” Celestia said.
The group were lead by a few guards to their new rooms a few hours of royal duties later a vein bulged in Celestia ́s forehead,
”what are we going to do now Luna, first the Summer Sun Celebration is coming up in a few days, then the nobles are getting rilled up and now we have unintended visitors from another realm!” Celestia said with distress,
”Don't ́t worry about the summer sun celebration sister you ́ve been doing it for over a thousand years with me gone and you should know that I've got your back” Luna said to comfort her sister,
"still it doesn't meditate the stress” Celestia said.
”How about we host it here in Canterlot this year you could have enough time to see to our new visitors and take care of the nobles while I take care of the festival, besides we could just call pinkie to decorate” Luna said,
”I don't know how I made it so long without you Luna, you were always the more determined of us two remember when you couldn't even cast a bubble spell?” Celestia said with a loving smile on her face as she laughed with her sister, this was going to be a long few days ahead.
