Cross-Realm Raiding
Chapter Seven
Korin took his first steps out of the crater, tripping over himself but blaming it on the shock of the fall. He didnt even notice he was on all fours. The divine shield worked perfectly for him, the surrounding forest not so much. As he peered through the smoke he saw two shadows of horses. Stepping further out he noticed that one wasn't a horse but a pegasas, and the other was just staring blankly at him. The strange thing was, it was dressed... in what looked like his brothers shaman vestments.
"Korin!" The grounded horse said.
Korin stepped back in shock. Never in his life had he ran into a talking horse, he had seen cows, dogs, cats, and pandas talk but never a horse.
"Who are you, and how do you know me!" Korin demanded an answer.
"You don't recognize me, and I can understand that, but you have to believe me when I say I'm your brother! Bishibosh!" The horse claimed.
"My brother is a proud Tauren, not a miniaturized... pony!"
"It's this world, it transforms us into this form, look!"
The grounded pony cast a healing rain spell. The drops of water filled the crater, and Korin peered into the reflection. He saw nothing wrong.
"Take off your helmet!"
Korin glared at the grounded horse and then went back to the reflection. Lifted his hands to pull off his helmet and fell forward into the water. This made the pegasas laugh. As He pulled himself out of the water he noticed he had no hands, and in place were hooves. The shock nearly knocked him back into the water. He pulled off his helmet with one hoof and peered back into the water. His eyes widened, his jaw dropped. He looked behind him to see what the other two were doing but his vision was blocked by two wings! Black fur connecting to blood red feathers.
"You, who claims to be my brother! Explain!"
At this, Bishibosh began the long story of how him and Fayt came to this new land. Korin listened at first with doubt, but as the tale went on he quickly started to believe. This horse, this... pony... was his only brother, the proud tauren he was trying to find and bring home.
At this time, two more ponies showed up at the scene with Twilight and Applejack. One with a bright blue coat and a rainbow mane, the other with a silky white coat and a dark blue mane.
"Fluttershy, darling. We came as fast as we could! Please tell me your delicate self was unharmed in the commotion." The White one ranted franticly.
"It's ok Rarity, I'm safe. These are friends of ours." Fluttershy began softly.
"Alright! which one of you ponies are responsible for that display!" The blue one yelled.
"Rainbow, calm down please. It's fine" Fluttershy continued.
"No Fluttershy, these three need to give us some answers. Like what is going on here! I was just about done with such a pretty dress..." The white one named Rarity pouted.
"Listen up everybo... er... pony... I can explain everything." Bishibosh began.
"Yeah you better talk fast! I want to know where that rainboom came from NOW!" Said the light blue pony.
At this Bishibosh again went over the whole story. Jeeze... you would think their friends would have briefed them. Upon getting to the 'rainboom' all the ponies were listening as only Fluttershy was really there to witness it all.
"And this is Korin, my brother from Azeroth." Bishi finished.
"Ummm, hello?" Korin stated awkwardly.
"Why hello, Korin. Somepony as well... garbed as yourself must be a respectable pony. You may call me Rarity." Rarity proclaimed.
"Uh yeah, and you can just call me Applejack."
"And I'm Twilight, nice to meet you!"
"And... I'm... Fluttershhh..."
"That's Fluttershy, she is just a little shy. I'm Rainbow Dash, and I want to have a word with you about your Sonic Rainboom."
"My... what?" Korin asked.
The group stayed there and went back and forth with new questions for hours until they decided it was time to get back to business, finding this dragon lair. But first Applejack insisted that everyone go back to the farm for break away from the drama, and a bite to eat. None of the ponies objected.
On the far end of the Everfree forest there is a tall mountain. From the outside it looks like nothing more than just that. A mountain, but on the inside... Metal spikes curl in a familiar fashion. Skeletal dragon remains lay scattered throughout the caverns. In the deepest part of the caverns lay the core of a faction known as... The Twilight's Hammer....
A familiar gnome paces back and forth across the ground in a pitched tent. Much older than he looked before, Wizzle Bang Tinker Torch was sent to this realm only second before Bishibosh and Fayt but was put in the realm years before that appeared. He has been keeping close watch on Equestria for their coming, and now they were here. Thalion was the first of many twilight dragons hatched in his lair. Being a male he was of no use to Wizzle besides as an attack dog, but now he is dead, but it is of little consequence. Now the first female to hatch has come, and with spells 'borrowed' from this lands books and a trinket that needs stolen from right under that purple ponies nose... The Alicorn Amulet... the broodmother would be of proper age for mating very... very... soon...
Upon arriving at the farm, Applejack walks the crowd of ponies to the barn. Before opening the door she gives it a good few knocks. At this the other ponies begin grinning while Bishi, Fayt, and Korin are left confused. Opening the door reveals a dark room that all the ponies save for the three newcomers enter. The they follow in, when suddenly...
"SUPRISE!!!!!!!" Shout all the ponies in the room, many that none of our heros have yet to meet.
"Like oh my gosh this is great isnt it! I totaly got this hole party planed just for you two.... wait...." Pinkie Pie notices not two but three new faces... "STOP THE PARTY NOW!"
Everyone freezes in place as Pinkie has a minor conniption fit.
"You.... what is your name..." Pinkie asked as she closed in on Korin.
"Uhh... you may call me Korin?"
Pinkie rushes to the cake in the middle of the room and pulls out an tube of icing. She quickly doodles on the cake and stops, takes a moment to admire her artwork, then smiles.
"Ok, all better. We can keep partying"
Bishi walked over to the cake and read...
Welcome to ponyville my new best best best best best best best friends Bishibosh and Fayt!
and crudly written under that
And Korin!
For the first time in a long time... Bishibosh shed a tear of joy... Perhaps this world isnt as bad as he thought. The three heros partied with their new friends almost all night long...
