//------------------------------// // Blueblood incident( update) // Story: The Ironman : Garden of Millennium // by worst day with sunny sky //------------------------------// Power causes envy. It's an universal rule. If somepony has power, somepony else will try and seize it. Blueblood was no exception, as he wanted King power and the throne. Thanks to the Royal Sisters sudden disappearance, Prince Blueblood simply took the power and he intended to keep it as long as he could. He certainly didn't plan to lose it. Gaining an absolute authority however, was none of his interest, as he never was interested in politics. Whenever nobles, representatives or governors brought out a political problem, he wouldn't listen and let them solve their issues. He'd just sit back and sip lemonades. Only things he was interested in were jewellery, parties, and raising more military power to keep himself safe. To him, the beautiful night was an omen, calling for a celebration of his victory. He invited his court into his new made garden, which was once Luna’s chamber. It had been modified to suit his desires: what was once a balcony had changed to a hollow window with columns, and in place of the bed was now a small pond. The party went on. It went on well until unwanted visitors came. But these visitors, well, were also the owners of the place. “Mares and Gentlecolts, I thank you all coming to this late party.” He announced, walking slowly across the room. Everypony’s attention was drawn to him. “I would like to thank my new general, Stargaze. Now that I gained the throne, I’ll make a few changes to make our land wealthy and more peaceful. But tonight, it seems that the very night is celebrating my victory! It has betrayed it’s owner! The night has bowed to me, for I, Blueblood, am the new King of Equestria!” Everypony applauded. The hoof clip clop sounds echoed the room, and as Blueblood stood tall and pointed his muzzle to the air, they arrived. Nopony would have expected these visitors, and there shall be no escape from them. “WHAT TREACHERY IS THIS!!!” The Royal Canterlot voice boomed out from the huge corridor behind them, knocking out few ponies standing nearby, catching their immediate attention. They couldn't believe what they saw, they could not believe their eyes, and they froze in place, not knowing what to do. There she was, the Alicorn of the night, creator of the moon, owner of the cosmos, looking at them furiously. Next to her, there stood the Alicorn of the day, creator of sun, owner of heaven. Both of them stood as like they were going on a rampage then feast on their hearts. Celestia, however, did her best to suppress any signs of her anger or condemnation on her face. when she turned to her subjects. “Everypony, could you excuse us for a minute?” That one simple sentence scared them, Celestia could feel fear in the air. For having two faces however, makes her the most fearful one. Shortly after, the miserable noble’s hoof steps hitting the marble floor echoed in the room, leaving only three ponies in the room. Right after, both sisters roared in incommensurable fury. “BLUEBLOOD!!!!!!!” 10 minutes prior... “Oh, auntie Celestia, it is so good to see you again!!!” From the other side of the hall, Cadence galloped to the group with uncountable joy. Celestia, noticing this, smiled happily back to Cadence, who greeted her aunt by nuzzling her neck. The princess of the day returned the gesture, and as Cadence turned she saw Twilight standing with smile on her face. “Oh, Twilight! I thought I’d never see you again!” And she did same to her old friend, Twilight answered, “It’s nice to see again Cadence!” “What happened to all of you?” Cadence asked with her hoof pointing at them, Celestia just let out a smile, and said, “All in good time, niece, but for now, we wish to take a rest.” However, Cadence’s smile was not showing truth, and her aunt immediately noticed this, “What's-” but her question was cut short. “Wait, where is Luna?” Then she saw Luna standing next to Twilight, and gasped at the sight. Luna had bandages on her head and seemed tired. She looked paler? “Luna, is that a bandage? How? That’s impossible!” “Again, Cadence. All in good time, but first, why were you worried when I said we need to rest?” Cadence began to hyperventilate. ‘Oh, how can I explain this?’ “Well… Um… You see…” Celestia raised her eyebrow, and Luna stared at her quizzically. “It’s hard to explain… You’ll have to see it for yourself.” Celestia said, “Well, if that is the case… Come Luna, I will escort you to your room.” Cadence gulped hard and started to follow her aunts going to their room nervously. She didn't know how they would react. Luna’s walk was little sloppy, although she was helped by her sister. After about five minutes of walking, they heard something. “….But tonight, it seems that the very night is celebrating my victory! It has betrayed it’s owner! The night has bowed to me, for I, Blueblood, am the new King of Equestria!” The royal sisters saw that Luna’s huge black and silver door was gone, replaced by two huge columns Inside, they saw plants and water instead of Luna’s bed and belongings. And Ponies. There were a lot of ponies, one especially standing out. Blueblood. 30 minutes prior… Celestia, Luna and Twilight Sparkle sat on the ship's living room couch as they were heading to the castle. As they got closer and closer, Celestia remarked that the ship could startle her ponies, as well as gaining military attention, which was never good. “Tony, I am not sure about bringing your spaceship to our castle… It might gain unwanted attention from the Royal Guard.” Tony answered standing behind the couch, “That shouldn't be a problem at all.” Celestia raised her eyebrows, “You are not thinking of fighting them are you?” Tony appeared to be confused “What? No, of course not. I don’t want to fight.” “Then how are you going to approach our castle without any disturbance?” “Simple enough. Jarvis, activate the cloak.” With that, Jarvis activated the cloak, submerging the ship into the surrounding environment by bending the light spectrum. “Cloak engaged, systems fully operational.” Twilight asked, “Wait, did you just cloaked the ship?” “Well, yeah? I thought You guys could do it too.” “But that requires incredible amount of concentration to reflect the surroundings and really skillfull illusion magic! And you did it without magic!” Tony signed, “Twilight, we can talk about this later.” Celestia added, “Well, actually I am fascinated, too.” Tony quickly changed the topic, as he obviously didn't want to give them another lecture. “Hey Princess, what do you want me to do when you guys enter the castle?” Princess Luna answered this time, “We shall let our guard informed. Then, thou may enter.” “Alright, that sounds good. Here, contact me on this, okay?” He said as he gave them two black little ear plug things. Luna nodded. Present. “BLUEBLOOD!!!!” Blueblood jolted up in the air a bit, before gaining his composure again. He clearly didn't seem worried in the slightest/at all. He had guts now. Or at least he thought. “Ah, Celestia, Luna! It is good to have you back to my land.” “Your land! How dare you Blueblood!” “It is rightfully my land. And this is my castle. You have to admit Celestia, all the ponies are on my side and they all answer to me. And you, no one is on your side!” Celestia was boiling with rage, “I think I should have judged you better, you criminal scum! When the guards find us, they will immediately turn on you! Give us back what is rightfully ours right now, and beg for mercy, before I put you down in a hard way! This, you sick creature, is rightfully ours! And our fathers!! It is our father who created the world and all of you! Blueblood, I command you as the princess of the Equestria, co-ruler of the land, harbinger of the day and heaven, creator of the sun, to surrender now! I do not wish to go further!” “And Celestia, I command you as the King of the Equestria, absolute ruler of the Equestria to give up, and be gone! Guards!!!!” Hundreds of guards started to swarm the area and surrounded the trio. General Stargaze saluted to Blueblood but his eyes changed focus when he noticed the two Alicorns. “P…Princess C…Celestia?! P…Princess Luna?!” “General Stargaze!” Blueblood shot, “Yes, my sire!” “Are you trying to disobey me!” “No, my sire!” “Then seize them!” General said to Alicorns before he and his soldiers stand in offensive pose. “I’m sorry princess, but he pays better.” Princess Luna yelled, “THOU DOTH NOT KNOW WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF!!!” Then Blueblood cut in, “Well, you can control sun and moon, and that’s it. And you know what? We also found a way to control them, so we don’t need you.” But, having never witnessed their power, Blueblood was vastly underestimating them. Luna was boiling with anger, but she couldn’t do a thing because of some stupid laws. “BLUEBLOOD, WATCH THY MOUTH!!! OR, THOU SHALT FACE YOUR DOOM!!!” Luna heard Tony’s voice on her ear piece, “What's going on?” Then she looked at Celestia who also heard him and just nodded. Luna let Celestia deal with Blueblood so she can get to Tony quickly. Noticing this, Blueblood spat another, “Oh, did she ran away? Of course, she was always stuck in her room and just cry all day, I bet she went off crying.” “That is none of your business, Blueblood! Listen, Guards and General, Stop this nonsense immediately! Although I hate hurting you, but I will if I have to!!! Luna and I have ruled this kingdom for millions of years, we together filled you with life, with our sun and moon that we created! We together tried our best to avoid all the wars, to let you live in harmony and peace! If you dethrone us, what do you think will the consequences might be?! Listen to this, and think well, before you have to face unforeseen consequences!” Blueblood chuckled, and held a parchment “Oh, Celestia, We’ve already dethroned you! You are actually no longer a princess!” Luna “Stark! How pathetic and loathsome creature they are!!!” Tony was trying to figure it out what she meant. He knew one thing. It didn't sound good. He raised his voice in nervousness. “What‘s going on? Something happened?” “Well, yes! That feather headed pathetic Blueblood is trying to dethrone us, and he claimed himself as a king! He tore down the half of the castle including our rooms into his playground!” Luna almost yelled, and continued to swear. “Well, can’t you just use magic? I’ve seen yours and it seemed powerful enough.” Luna signed, “It is forbidden for us to show our power in the castle no less than rising our moon and sun. ‘Tis a long story, but that is not what is important right now! We require thy help!” Tony found this was an incredibly serious problem. It was like someone secretly took over his CEO place and forcing him to get out. That will not happen to them. Tony’s tone got deeper, making him sound serious. “Alright, I’ll see what I can do.” Those stupid and pointless rules were created after the Nightmare moon’s banishment, keeping Celestia from using offensive spells. She felt weak magic bolts hitting her. Being an alicorn, she was much more resilient than the common pony, and she just simply used force field to block all attacks, none being strong enough to penetrate. Celestia however didn't know how much she could hold her rage, and it was nearly hitting its peak, ready to blow up anything. Then a sudden mechanic/electronic roar distracted everypony. They all looked at the source of the noise, but only Celestia was able to see what it was, and others were blinded by the blue light. But about thirty seconds later, it revealed its shape and roared once again. With that monstrous roar, the roof started to shatter on the middle, and something broke in, creating a rather large hole. Something landed on a ground forcefully, holding one arm to the air, the other punching the ground with his knees bent. Then the creature looked up and said, “Showtime.” It was Iron Man, wearing his Mark 4 armor, coming to the rescue of the Alicorns. From the window, Luna flew in with a smirk on her face saying, ‘He is going to beat the crap out of them.’ Blueblood yelled in terror, “What is this ugly creature? It must be uncivilized and primitive!! L…Luna, you summoned this creature!!! No matter, he is no match against my powerful army!” As he finished talking, all the soldiers started to attack Iron Man. Soldiers swarmed the room and charged at him at full sprint, but they were all stopped at once. Stark chuckled and slammed his palm to the ground with repulsor charged, sending out a wide blue shockwave throughout the room, knocking down every single pony, and announced behind his metallic plate. “I don’t want to kill or harm you, yet, I will if you don't give back what rightfully belongs to them.” Blueblood scoffed again. “You are just a puppet of Luna and Celestia, you creature! And I will eliminate anything that stands on my path!” Iron Man frowned at this albeit his expression was hidden behind his faceplate. He saw unicorns charging him with their telekinetic magic. He was slammed to the wall by their power, and other remaining unicorns shot fireballs at him, but that was all terribly ridiculous to Iron Man. They were just too weak. He easily overpowered them with his strength, knocking them off, then he walked towards the group of guard standing in front of him who were trying their best to terminate him. He grabbed one of their horns and snapped it without showing any efforts. The unicorn shrieked under the enormous amount of pain, desperately breathing for his life. The guards doubled their efforts, now angered by the fall of their comrade. They kept shooting many more fireballs and threw sharp spears at him. The earth pony guards group started to shoot their crossbows, to no effect. Ironman sighed ‘These ponies will never learn…’ He punched the marble column and threw it to the guards, knowcking several out. Stupid guards. He then felt several ponies jumping onto him, but to just swatted them away with a single swing of his arm, throwing them to the other group. ‘This is just too easy.’ He shot a death glare to Blueblood, flew towards the usurper, and grabbed him. Blueblood yelled, “Do not attempt to ponynap me!” “Who said I am going to ponynap you?” An idead struck Tony's mind. He flew up to the sky with Blueblood’s hoof in his left hand, hearing him scream in fear. Blueblood desperately struggled for freedom but it was worthless. The wind hit him like a jet. Iron Man stopped and stayed on the same altitude as the Mount Everest. He warned, “This is your last chance Blueblood, give up the throne.” Blueblood did not dare to look down but when he took a small peak, he saw Canterlot castle reduced to a dot as a cloud passing below him. What he thought was a tall mountain looked all small now. His face contorted in an untold terror. Iron Man said, “To give you a little tip, asshole, I let go of my hand, you fall, and you die, and we’ll get princesses on their throne again, or you surrender, you live, and the outcome will be same. The only difference is your life.” Blueblood yelled in terror “Please! I don’t want to die!! I don’t want to die!” To make sure Iron Man just let go of his hoof and let Blueblood fall. He followed right behind him asking if he was going to resign. “Say, ‘I resign’ then I might be just able to save you from your death.” He smirked watching Blueblood screaming, who did not hesitate to answer. “Fine! Fine! I…I resign!” He sighed and said, “Very well then.” Tony quickly grabbed the body of Blueblood and pulled towards his stomach, and flew up to Canterlot castle, where the royal sisters were waiting for the conclusions. Surely they would be satisfied. “Princess? It’s done. Now, what’s next?” He heard Celestia’s voice in his helmet, she sounded less tensed than about five minutes ago. What a relief. “Thank you, Tony. It could have been harder to regain our throne without breaking the law, and I believe that we’ll have to announce our return to public as soon as we can, And thank you.” Iron Man answered with joy who was more than happy to help princesses. “No sweat ladies.” Proofread by LyonAzakura.
