//------------------------------// // War Of The Gods // Story: Derpy's Grand Adventure // by KingofBronies //------------------------------// The Whooves family was galloping towards the library. They needed to find out what era Derpy had been transported to. "Sparkler! What was the phone number?" The timelord asked. "1-236-4703." The pink unicorn announced. "So, she's stuck in 1236? If their is anypony that knows about history it's Twilight!" The brown earth pony exclaimed. "She hewped me wif my math homework." Dinky said cutely. The father and older sister smiled and dashed quickly. With in a good distance they made it to the library and knocked on the door. A lavender unicorn with dark purple mane and a pink streak answered the door. It was Twilight Sparkle! "Oh hi, is Ditzy here for math tutoring?" Twilight asked. "No, miss not today! It is a far more serious matter. My wife you see has time traveled into the past using Pinkie Pies phone number and a time machine!" The doctor explained. Twilight gave him a look like he was crazy. "Umm, Doctor have you been eating Pinkie's special brownies or something. Cause that sounds crazy." Doctor Whooves throws away a bag filled with brownies. "I have no idea what your talking about!" Sparkler face hoofs. "Twilight, please tell us what you know about the year 1236. We are not lying to you." "Ya, moma is gone I want her to come home." the unicorn filly looked sad. "Well I guess it's possible your telling the truth. Alright come in." Twilight smiled. The Whooves family trotted into the library. A baby purple dragon with green rounded spikes was organizing the bookshelves. "Spike, get the book on the 12th century." Twilight smiled. "Oh uh, ok!" The number one assistant hands her a book titled The War of The Gods. "T-the War of The Gods?" The Doctor said in shock. What had his beloved gotten herself into? She could be in great peril. The doctor was trembling from this realization. "Yes, well it says here that a war was fought against the Alicorns to see who would become the Gods of Equestria. There used to be many Alicorns it say, but the war reduced their numbers to only two. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The main enemy alignence were the Shadow Manes. Says here they were killed off and there Kingdom was destroyed. You see, Canterlot is a fairly new Kingdom that was established after the great war." Twilight summarized and paused. "What is it?" Sparkler asked. "Shadow Manes... It sounds familiar. Rainbow Dash said something about a group of flyers call the Shadow Bolts. It maybe that they weren't completely destroy!" Twilight thought allowed. "Really now? Could it be, that they were the cause of Nightmare Moon?" The Doctor though. Meanwhile, still outside Skyforge handed Derpy a set of heavy looking armor. It was a ebony colored full body plate held together with leather straps. It was equip with ebony colored steel legging and hoof guards. The armor was a perfect fit for the pegasus and despite its appearance was light on her. The Captains stood proudly as they welcomed there new companions equip for battle. "Aye, told ye teh lass could 'andle er shelf in battle!" Gale smirked proudly. "I have to say Derpy, you have me impressed." Sunset smiled. "I haven't seen an awesome battle like that in ages! It was sooooo cool!" Peachie bonced. The jester giggled. "I'm proud of you!" "I di goood!" Derpy smiled. "You maybe tough, but a real battle isn't the same as a duel. Remember that." Skyforge explained. The googly eyed pony nodded. The team of warriors said there good-byes to Ditzy as they went to the war room. The team then took there seats as Luna stood in wait. "We hath be waiting!" Luna yelled. "I ish sowwie Miss Luna, I ha to go fight Skyforge." The gray pegasus said. "We accept thine apology and how the thine new armor helpest thy make swift work of thine enemies!" The alicorn exclaimed taking notice. "Aye Cap'n, the plan." the pirate asked. "Captain? We are a General in rank. Why duth thou address we as such?" The General asked. "Aye, I mean ye no disrespect. I just see ye as me Captain since ye out rank me." The rainbow maned pegasus explained. Luna sighs. "Whatever. We have received notice that the Shadow Mane hath made an advancement upon our forces in Trotford." "Trotford? But that's just a farm village!" the violet unicorn exclaimed. "We are aware of this! They are holding off a resistance as we speak. We had another assignment for you at first, but tis more important." The ghostly maned alicorn yelled. "Ohhhh! Trotford is far, does that mean we get to take the dragons?" Peachie bounced. "Dwagons?" The silly pegasus questioned. "Aye lass, we got dragons! We got arrr self a special trainer ta train dem fer us." the Cap'n explained. "Oooooooooh!" Derpy said as her eyes widened. She had seen dragons before on her travels as a mailmare, but never a trained one besides Spike. Well if you can call him trained. The Captains nodded in agreement and headed to the roof of the castle. Nearly hidden by the massive pillars laid several adult dragons green, red, and black of color. Along with the dragons they noticed a small pegasus flying next to a black dragon polishing its scales. She was a daisy yellow with swirl pink long mane and a curved tail. Her attire consisted of scalish light metal armor and a viking helmet that covered the top part of her face, but had eye holes so she could see. Her cutie mark was of whip crackling. "Thar, that be Feather Charm, she be teh dragon trainarrr!" The pirate smiled. "We just call her Charm though." Sunset said. "Hiiiii!" The derp-eyed pony greeted. Feather Charm fluttered down and looked away from the pegasus's greeting. "Ummm...Hi." "Oh come on Charm! Don't be such a shy filly. She won't bite." Peachie giggled. "I ish Derpy! Nice to met you!" The silly pegasus extend a hoof. Charm blushed, but shoke hooves with her. "Ummm..Pleasure to meet you I'm Feather Charm, but you can call me Charm. "Aye, ain't she sweet? One of teh sweetest mares in Equestria." Gale giggled making Charm blush. "Oh quit your flirting Gale, we got to get to Trotford." Sunset grumbled. "Aye, lass could ye lend us yer dragons?" The rainbow maned pegasus asked. "Umm. Ok.. You boys ready?!" Charm yelled at the dragons. The dragons roared as they let their tails down allowing them to be mounted. Charm mounted herself on a black dragon in the center, Sunset and Peachie mounted on a green dragon to the left, and last Gale and Derpy mounted on the red dragon on the right. "Are all of you ready to fly?" The black dragon roared. "Yes sir!" The red and green dragon roared back. The dragons spread their wings single file and took of into the sky one after another... Twilight was searching through her books, throwing them all around in a panic. Doctor Whooves was sitting on the floor with his family thinking. Spike sighed and searched through the books hoping to find a solution to Twilight's mess making. "I got it! Twilight, you and your friends can handle the situation here correct?" The doctor asked as if she wasn't going crazy. "Y-yes!" the lavendar unicorn yelled victourously as she held a book over her head. "Alright, we'll be off then!" the brown earth pony said as his family left. They though to themselves. "Father, we need a plan." Sparkler suggested. "I'm quiet aware of that..Yes! I have got it! We need a warrior to accompany us!" He proposed. "A warrior? Where are we to find one?" the mare asked. "Really? Daughters of mine, do you not know of any strong chaps that could help us out?" Dr. Whooves asked. "Well, Big Macintosh is weally stwong." Dinky smiled. "Aww, yes darling, but he is likely busy and I don't think he could lend us a hand." The earth pony pointed out. "Well...There is one pony.." the eldest daughter sighed. "Really? That's great news! Who is this pony?" The timelord said bursting with excitement. "He is from Estallia, he knows how to fight. His name is Cortez." The pink unicorn face hoofed. "Sista was wong?" The little filly asked. "You'll see when we get there.." Sparkler looked up and sighed.
