The Grand Battle at Ponyville
Ponyville was still flooded with a mass of frenzied ponies who were sycophant fans of Rainbow Dash. While most of the town were regular citizens a small part of it was consumed with fanmares and fancolts sleeping in tents in the park waiting for their hero to emerge from her house. They wanted to see her for themselves and wouldn't leave until she came. The tragedy weeks ago was still fresh in their minds and they just wanted some sign that Rainbow Dash was truly alive.
Unaware of the danger approaching the townsfolks go on with their daily lives. Some ponies were at the market shopping others were at their place of work. Some were spouting off about the end of times. It was just an average day in the new Ponyville that was helped made with the rainbow maned pony's money.
Three visitors to the town were being followed by a fourth. The fourth visitor wasn't here to visit anyone just to be entertained. He knew of ways to get that entertainment. He just had to make sure to keep himself in control otherwise it would end all too soon. He couldn't let his one chance at chaos and anarchy be stopped by his over indulgence.
____________________________________________________________
Spitfire, Soarin, and Mistyfly were flying towards Ponyville and heading to visit Rainbow Dash. Even with the recent events that happened, the Wonderbolts were still a team and had that bond. They wanted to see how the rainbow maned super star was recovering. When they arrived in town they noticed tents and guard ponies surrounding the house the celebrity lived in.
"So... what now?" Soarin asked unsure of how to approach the situation. It was like a scene out of a 60's movie and wasn't sure if they even were at the right spot. So many guards keeping the over zealous fans from entering a house. The place literally crawling with protection. Unicorn guards using a barrier to keep sneaky pegasi from flying into the house. It was both secure and disturbing.
"It's like a personal prison to keep the crazies from... wait ... the crazies get locked up not the sane.. what is this nonsense... I can't believe these ponies are acting like this." She said. She was told about a time the timid mare was a fashion model but still Spitfire wasn't able to grasp just how star struck and rabid the crowd was becoming.
Mistyfly was about to say something till she felt a death chill and looked into the sky as it darkened. "Ummm... guys.... I think we have trouble." Her heart thumping hard against her chest. The disturbing image of a draconian dragon just inches above the pegasi was enough to make them all freeze up in fear.
"Hello my little ponies, I am Rahtot and I am bored.... so I chose you three to entertain me and what do you know... you brought me to a town full of ponies just waiting to be slaughtered." He was chuckling wickedly. He was going to enjoy tearing them piece by piece and eating their innards.
"Guys.. Beta formation NOW!" Spitfire roared as they all got into action. The speed of their movements was nothing Rahtot was prepared for. He had only seen one other creature move this fast before and it was a hunter in his kingdom known as Belgar. He thought of how much Belgar was praised for his extreme speed and his superior hunting skills. It bothered him since he was a slow but powerful dragon himself.
" So it seems you wish to fight me... just like those dragons did before you... it won't end well but I will honor your conviction.. now prepare for your death as it will be glorious." He said as he started to flap his massive wings hard. His wing force caused gusts of wind to push the ponies back and get them off guard. He was already about to eat Mistyfly with one full chomp when he was stopped by something.
"Who dare cast magic at me... you are going to die Unicorn... with wings?" He never seen such creature but heard of them.. alicorns magical ponies with wings and a horn able to do great feats of magic. This lavender one had picked the wrong day to play hero and she wouldn't be able to learn of her mistake after he was done annihilating her.
"You don't belong here.... leave now and I will spare your life.. I am princess Twilight Sparkle and I am not afraid to take you out.. " She said with false bravado, she was trying to bluff her way out of this mess she got in. She was going to visit Rainbow Dash when she noticed the sun being clouded by something. It was the entity in front of her flying above her with an evil look in his eye.
"You think you can stop me? I will tear you apart and use your bones to pick at my teeth you insolent pony." He roared out and started flying towards her at moderate speed. Even if he couldn't fly fast he was a great flier.
Twilight wasn't able to use any magic that would affect the dragon as long as his armor was in tact she had used a considerable amount of energy just phasing him. She had only one option and that was to fly.
"Running away are we... what happened to your courage and willingness to do battle... you wound me with your mock charisma and now you are fleeing. Pathetic pony... I shall devour you... and make you suffer while I digest you. I will slaughter all your citizens and while I do know it was your cowardice that caused it." His voice was of rage but his tone was peircing her soul.
She was feeling weak. Her body was slowly giving into the emotional torment of the Draconian's words. "Fine I will fight you... but prepare yourself for I will rain hell upon you." She said with as much determination as she could as she made her horn glow. She was trying to cast a destructive spell but the fear was over taking her. She waited for certain doom to come but it never arrived.
"No one hurts MY PRINCESS," came the voice of the pink pony who just saved Twilight's life. Pinkie Pie was equipped in ancient medieval armor with a lance and shield that some how she had this whole time but not in an obvious spot ... because that is just how Pinkie Pie rolls. Her lance had hit the soft underbelly of Rahtot momentarily stunning him as he felt his blood spill.
Never has any creature even dare attack him and those that did never could get close enough to harm him. Now his blood was spilling out and he was roaring in pain. "You.... I shall crush you like a bug." He roared towards Pinkie who had fire in her eyes.
"Oh yeah... Well I will... Lance...a... lot." She started giggling at her own joke. "I said Lancelot. Get it?" She was rolling around on the roof laughing while the dragon annoyed was about to unleash a hell storm of fire. She saw this and put her shield up like a true bad ass as the flames just stopped and spread out against the shield. "Your breath is hot!" She said with a giggle. She was just infuriating him more but also was making him lose his nerve.
"You dare mock me you insignificant worm... I shall show you my wrath and nothing will stop me. He was about to dive bomb on top of the building until he himself was tackled out of the sky by an even more imposing figure.
"Rahtot... I finally find you.. and I see you are being destroyed by a pink pony... so weak and yet you are the prince?" He said while flying over the bigger dragon who had just been knocked on the ground causing a small crater and panicking ponies to flee from the battle.
"Belgar.. you traitor why did you attack me instead of the pony?" He asked incredulously. He was going to blow a gasket with the amount of anger he was harboring for everything around him.
"You idiot... she had a lance ready at her side to jab it in your heart... I guess you weren't paying attention were you?" He said while pointing to the awkwardly menacing and adorable Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie Pie just looked up at them both. "So we doing this? Because this is superific and funnertatstic" she said while moving one hoof back and forth while moving in a jumping motion. She wasn't taking it seriously because well she is Pinkie Pie and doesn't have to. She had abilities beyond the normal ponies even able to break the dimensional wall of the 4th kind.
"You are being made a fool of Rahtot... you let a small pink pony make you look weak and pathetic... I wonder why your father even bothers wanting you back in his kingdom when you can barely do anything impressive." Belgar spoke with such disgust towards the royal family.
"You dare mock me as she does... you both will pay.. I will rip both your hides and devou-" he was going to say his usual line but was interrupted.
"My soul? Seriously... you are so weak and useless. If your father the orge-like dragon king wasn't the ruler you think you would have survived past infancy? You would have been slaughtered already... and since this land isn't Draconia... I can kill you and just blame it on the ponies." Belgar said with sudden revelation. He was going to enact his plan. Before doing so he wanted to know if Pinkie Pie was the pony responsible for the death of Eligor. "Before I kill that weakling prince, was it you who killed Eligor?" He asked with curiosity dripping from his mouth.
"Who the what now?" she asked while rubbing her chin. She wasn't sure who Eligor was but didn't remember killing him in her delusions or in real life. "Nope can't say I have" She said while shrugging her shoulders.
"Fine then I will search for the weapon after I rid myself of this waste. Good bye Rahtot and may you never be rehatched again." He said before swooping down over the prince who was getting up. The hunter wasted no time in punching his fist through the soft underbelly of the dragon and ripping out his heart while it still beats. It was sickening to watch as the townsfolk who were not running in fear were covering their eyes.
Twilight looked shocked "He was your prince... how could you just kill him?" She asked unsure of why someone would murder their ruler. "Do you not have any respect for your rulers? Is that what kind of world you live in?" She was pushing the wrong dragon's buttons. "I ... I have no respect for you... you are the lowest of lows." She said before forgetting just what she was ranting to. Great going twilight you just pissed off a dragon who killed the dragon that you couldn't fight off.
"You just signed your own death certificate pony..." He was about to lunge at her before he felt a sharp pain in one of his eyes. he felt blood drip out of his injured socket and saw the reason he was injured. "You... you stupid little pony...." He roared and bellowed in rage as he saw Pinkie Pie with out her lance as it was thrown at his face like a projectile. She was laughing at him and calling him pirate joe as if it was appropriate. "You have just doomed your entire town I hope it was worth it." He said before crashing into the building at fast speeds and sending the pink pony soaring into the sky from the impact.
"Pinkie... No!" Twilight yelled as she burst into the sky using what magic she had in her left to enhance her speed as she caught the pink pony and made sure she was alive. Before she could react there was a crushing blow to her side as she was back handed by the mighty speedster dragon.

The ex Wonderbolts used the opportunity to form a plan and they sprung into action... they were going to use the alpha strategy and try to take down a super dragon, they had no official title for it since they were removed from the need to know basis after their shameful disbanding.
"Alright Soarin you get the sides and deliver powerful kicks... Mistyfly you use your speed to direct him away and I will be the one landing dive bomb attacks on him. We can do this... we don't always need Rainbow Dash to do our jobs." She said before they broke up into formation.
Rainbow Dash had the worse part in the formation of being in the danger zone but Spitfire needed to be able to land hits on this thing... she may not be as fast or powerful as the ex rookie but she was determined and capable.
Belgar was in no mood for games and he instantly swiped down Mistyfly cutting her a bit with his claw. It wasn't a fatal cut but he was going for speed not accuracy he jerked his body to knee the other wonderbolt sending him soaring into the sky. He was just about finished ending the three ex Wonderbolts when a hoof landed in his undergut and sent him back a bit stunned from the delivery of a powerful blow. "What the..." he got out as he noticed Spitfire had landed a good one on him. He immediately recoiled by tail lashing her the whip lacerated her body and sent her reeling from such force.
"Are we done playing this silly game... I am too powerful and fast for you ponies... I would stay and rip you all apart but I am afraid I must get going now.. I have a weapon to find..." He said and just before he could make an exit. Something with an evil voice was bellowing at him.
"You are trying to run away while pretending to be superior?" The voice belonged to a mad god of chaos who was giving an evil look off as his eyes starting glowing a furious red and his visage shifted from a comical entity to a nightmarish looking monstrosity.
Belgar knew of only one creature who could become this horrid "Draconquus."
____________________________________________________________
King Dragunda was lurching in agony. "What happened.... my heart feels as if it was stabbed.. my son... has he? Something happened to my son... I will rip the soul out of the very fool who dare kill my son... It was either Eligor or Belgar.... which one of them has betrayed me... I will find out." He was livid.. he felt such anger and sorrow. "I want a battalion ready and I want my soldiers prepared for dealing with whoever returns. I will spill their blood and when I am done I will wage war across the world... I will spill every creature's blood and declare this world in the name of King Dragunda the grand dragon of Draconia." He roared and bellowed with a terrifying boom.
With this new idea his kingdom was now preparing for an all out war against the entire world. They knew nothing could stop them. While the world grew weak from peace the Draconians have been practicing and training each day. The weak were mercilessly executed and the strong gained respect. This is how they lived and died.
Draconia was now a force to be reckoned with while the rest of the world was slowly creating their own doom by living in peace. It was high time the world learned to not trust peace or treaties. When tyrants desire more they will do what it takes to gain more. The harrowing of the end of times was coming. Soon Equestria and the whole world would be decimated by the might of the Draconian army.
All because of the traitorous actions of one Dragon.

Discord in his true form was using a darker and demonic voice while challenging the much more experienced combatant. "You are in my home town. Equestria is Discord's territory... only I shall wreak havoc against the ponies and only I shall slay them. You are to leave and never return or die... I chose already for you... I hope you don't mind but your fate is.. death." He said while shooting towards him with his enlarged body and sharp claws he was ready to rip through his enemy.
Back in the olden days before Celestia and Luna were able to stop him. Discord had a mighty form. He was literally the embodiment of chaos and since his form was horrific when Celestia had turned him to stone she shifted his visage to one less menacing. It wasn't out of disrespect but to reduce the fear of the passerby's who would glance at him in the gardens. The true form of Discord was grim looking his voice was disturbing and his penchant for anarchy was at an all time high.
Now that Celestia fears a war coming true she had unleashed the seal she had on him and allowed him his full power. Even now with it he wasn't a match for a combatant like Belgar but with intimidation on his side he could hold out a pretty decent fight. "Lesson one... never mess with Discord." He said while glancing his opponent with his clawed hand. His mirth was just bluffing in disguise. He knew he couldn't out brawl a Draconian and was relying on his mysticism to aide him in combat.
"Is that all you got Draconquus. I shall rip you apart and end your anarchy." He sped up and tackled the mad god and knocked him into the ground and lunged at him just to see him disappear and re appear above him.
"Tsk tsk tsk... when will you learn." He said with an evil laugh. He wasn't going to go down that easily.. Still it was a close one.. I almost died right there. I know I should be more careful but... if I can't stall out I will let this dragon return home and he will surely blame Equestria for the death of the dragon lying on the ground there... if he does that Fluttershy will die.
____________________________________________________________
Rainbow Dash could hear the fight happening outside. The usually loud raucous of the fans died as they all had ran off and scattered the guards had fled too. She was keeping her family close to her. "Just hold on guys.. if we die we die together." She said while they all were sticking close bye. They knew something terrible was happening and she was too powerless to do anything. It angered her completely. If only she could recover some how... I need to get out there... I need to fight.. think think think... Loyalty... my element... it helped me before why won't you help me now... Heal me and let me fight I need to be out there... I need to make sure no pony dies because of some mistake I caused.
If this were a fantasy world in which wishing to be healed made it so she would have had her victory but reality dictates she needs to recover naturally since the magic in her system was still aiding her. She could walk a bit and hover.. but she wasn't able to take off or fight. It was maddening being inside a house cowardly with her family and yet not able to fight out there while Celestia knows what is going on.
She wished she was able to find some quicker way to heal... she needed to go out there and fight... and win... it was her destiny to win her cutie mark came the day she won that race and made that Sonic Rainboom. For now she had to hope that others could do what it took to win with out her since she wasn't able to win the day herself.

Rarity and Applejack had decided to stay in the farm with Appleseed. Big Mac was already running out there to see what was going on and if he could help. He felt like it was his duty to be the stallion around this damn place. He wanted to be useful for once instead of just some farm pony. He had magnificent strength and a resilient body.
If it wasn't to attack maybe he could defend. His body could take some blows at least. He wasn't sure what was the awful noises but felt he had to try and help the town before it fell apart again.
____________________________________________________________
Discord was feeling the effects of reverting to his true form as it was causing him to slowly lose his sanity. He was sure if he kept this up he would lose his mind. "Let's stop playing around and end this... you will die now and I will claim back my land from you Belgar." He said while slamming himself into the other dragon at break neck speed. It was enough to momentarily stun him but not enough to even warrant enough time to dodge his counter attack.
Belgar slammed his tail into the side of the Draconquus and knocked him into another building. It was funny to see such a mighty creature fall. He wanted to lunch at him and tear his guts out but something slammed itself into his leg and caused it to sprain on impact. He roared out in pain as the leg was becoming inflamed from the internal damage. The force of impact needed to do such a thing must have come from a train or something. He noticed a red stallion looking pretty proud of himself. "You .... What is this? Why is it when I defeat one of you pathetic ponies another one comes from the wood works?" He was about to lunge himself and slit open Big Mac's neck with his claw when again something dare to attack him.
"Don't you count me out you big stupid meanie head." Said the very brave and foolish Pinkie Pie. She had a party cannon that was shooting exploding cakes from it. "I guess you can say... you take the cake." She said while shooting off her canon and pelting her enemy with exploding delicious treats.
"What madness is this." He was shielding his face from the offending dessert while his anger and confusion grew. Is this what Draconia will be facing? Some unending barrage of insanity and ponies? I must warn Dragunda... this isn't going to end well if he doesn't learn about this new information. "Well as fun as this was I am going to have to go... but before I do." His eyes started glowing pure white as he rushed towards the red stallion and sent him flying, he quickly used his momentum to tail slap the the pink pony and break off her armor as she was sent back into the sky... he then rushed to Discord and went for a death blow but found the area where he crashed landed empty and just flew off in rage. "I will come back and when I do it will be with an entire army of Draconians. We will wipe out all of Eqeustria... and your weapon can't save you from our destruction." He said gloating before flying off heading home.
____________________________________________________________
Ponyville looked as if it was hit with a truck. The towns floors were smashed and cratered. Some buildings were destroyed and worse of all in the seemingly quick battle some ponies were gravely injured and some fatally wounded. The scene was from a nightmare. The ponies now glad the enemy was gone but fearing his words.
Discord was fading into his comedic form and was cursing his eagerness to win. He coughed out blood and knew his time on this world will be ending ... "It took this long and now it starts... I will try and hold off as long as I can before I let myself die.. I will be the stuff of legends before I allow myself to die... " He said to no one in particular as he hoped his risky move somehow paid off.
