//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 Fght back!!! // Story: Random Invation // by discordjediknight //------------------------------// "And so those who few were left ran for their lives, every moment they had a chance of rest they were corners by the aliens, and more and more of the population shrunk until there was barely anything over the course of months." "Pinky, it's been three days." Dead panned smolder. "Alright fine, I was just trying to hype up the growing conflict but if you insist on three days fine it's been three days," Pinky grumbled. "Well, she is right about one thing, cadence announced. Most of our populations have been captured by the invaders. We're all that's left." She said in a sad motherly tone as she held her baby. Smolder looked around. They sat in a large cave up a mountain, this cave once was the home of a dragon whose smoky breath filled the little town of Pony forcing the hero six, especially Fluttershy to come to wake him up so he'd move away. In this cave, there were twenty left in all. Smolder, Amber, smolders brother, thorax's brother Spike, Scootaloo, Yona, pinkey, cadence, flurry heart, glimmer, gallus, and a few others Smolder did not know, like a Kirin name Drakes, prince blue blood, and a hippogriff child, or Gilda. They were on the run for three straight days and were exhausted at best, scared at worst. If that wasn't bad enough some of the mightiest on all of the land were captured, leaving even some of the greatest leaders in all of equestrian history broken and afraid. "So what now," asked Gilda, grumpily as ever. Cadence wanted to speak but fluty heart cries for her daddy to take her attention to deal with her daughter. Amber took a step forward, "are you kidding me, were equestrians? Since when do we just give up?" "I'm not saying we do we just need a plan first," Cadence said as she rocked her five-year-old filly asleep. "Ok here's a plan, fight back!" Gilda yelled. "Great, we all agree, except if we do that well just get captured by them and then no one will be able to rescue them," Cadence told Gilda, who huffed in annoyance as she began to think of a plan. Amber, sighed, "Well we got to do something, all our friends and family are captured." "But how are we going to do that?" "Are you kidding me?!" Shouted smolder. All the arguing adults turned to the teenager who was a out to graduate school. "It's not like this is the first time we faced our friend being mind controlled, remember when Sombra used his mind control on the fellow ponies forcing the heroes of harmony to take action? That's what we need," she slammed her fist against her claw. "We need action, we can't just sit here and do nothing, and argue till they come and get us. What they did then, is infiltrate the enemies and took down Sombra straight on, that's what we need to do, we need to take the fight to the king." Ember set her claws on her hips and smiled at the young adult dragon. "I'm with you smolder. Well just infiltrate them and take the king." "That's all good and all, but does anyone know where the king is," asked Cadence, who seemed to be the voice of reason in the room. What if he's sitting on his home world? "Hmm, I don't think so," Smolder said with her claw on her chin. "That transmission from earlier even with magic it would have to be within the atmosphere to get through other wise our magnetic field would never let a transmission like that though, not so clearly." "Wow you know your stuff Smolder," Spike chimed in. "Twilight annoyingly had us take science classes, she got the idea from visiting the human world apparently, and Glimmer kept up the classes." "Glad you paid attention to it," Glimmer commented. "Ok, so he is probably close, even so without knowing where he is, we're still not able to do anything," Cadence told them. Suddenly a large flash spoked them all, expecting it to be their enemies everyone grabbed what they could to defend themselves. They relaxed as a familiar voice filled the cave. "Oh there you are, I was wondering where all of you were, having a camp in a cave or something." Said the strange creature in a bored tone of voice. They all sighed, some with giggles. "Discord, it's good to see you." Spike was the first to greet him. "Ah yes, my dragon friend, I have finally returned," Discord said with a sweeping overly dramatic bow. "Where have you been," glimmer asked with a raised voice. "Oh, I was with my old college buddy, the smoose. We've been discussing the treaty of the friendship alliance and all that boring politics, but as the official ambassador of the smoose, his people are apparently excited to join our world in friendship and harmony. All in a day's work by yours truly," he said turning his back to them. All in a day's work, no need to thank me, discord rubbed his eagle claw against his chest and then checked it. He spoke as if accomplished something grand. Scootaloo jumped up and hugged him. "Hay it's Discord, he has super powerful magic, he can snap his fingers and make everything normal again." Discord patted the little teenager on the head and before he wormed his way out of the ponies hooves. "Of course, of course, I'll help you with whatever your little pony problem is, but I came here in search of Fluttershy." He turned to Pinky," Tell me do you know where she is, she's not at her cottage or her animal sanctuary. " "No, no, no," the crowd, but it was too late, as Pinky already started to recap the entire story up to this point for discord, including every single detail. On board, the mother ships King Goobat hovered down the halls of the captured equestrians, among him. His assistant was behind him as two royal guards followed. He smiled as he looked spawn the strange colorful creatures. "Oh don't they just look so cute, so cut in fact, that I could just eat them up," he cooed."So Delicious," he chuckled darkly, As he stuck his robotic claw into the cage and pinch the cheeks of Rainbow Dash. "Yes sir, and to think we have your cousin for all of this." "Yes yes, the family screw up. Remind me again how he found these sacrifices'" the king asked excitedly. "He said it was strangely his friend who had them, oh won't poultry be pleased," His assistant clapped. "Yes yes," the king strolled over to a large window, it had a great view of the center of the mother ship, which had a large arena around a giant white chicken egg. The image of the egg sat on the reflection of the king's egg like some suit. "Soon, he chuckled, soon we will have what we came for." He narrowed his eyes. Dash on the other hand, rubbed her face where she was pinched. she looked around and saw Twilight and the others. "It's a good thing I put a hole in my ear tube," she muttered to herself. she then narrowed her eyes at the sight of the aliens in front of her, "you won't get away with this," she whispered at them, making sure not to be caught, she needed to wait until she could save the others and find a way out of there.
