I got this idea from When They Were Young: the Box Queen and the Dracony. It is a cute story with a fun idea, you should read it.
It was a warm morning in Everfree. The gentle wind was coming for the east blowing the smell of cider from Sweet Apple Acres. Caption Nyx stood as she looked over her soldiers thinking “today is a good day for war.” Her soldiers were young ponies from all over Equestria. They stood in lines before her. And Her Lieutenants which were The CMC, Spike and bright Eyes stood behind her. Firefly stood ready for her commands.
Nyx walked down the lines of young soldiers “today we are here to fight a powerful foe. They are called the Draconies. They been around since Celestia’s and Luna’s Filly hood. They fought and defeated them but like all great evil you can never completely destroy it. They are back and it is our duty to take them down.” Walking back to where she was before “there are six of them. We will divide into six teams and each team took one on. The teams will be lead by one of my Lieutenants and myself. She waved her hoof at her friends behind her.
Scootaloo said “Nyx is sure into this.”
“You have no idea.” Spike said “she was in her room for the last three days writing that speech.”
The guards stepped in and help divide them into groups. As they were about done the Draconies ran past; which were the royal princes and princesses of Equestria in rubber dragon mask over there head as well, as booties that were shaped like a of dragon claws with matching scaly saddle bags. The Draconies ran into a different part of town. The usually calm Celestia skipped and giggled like a school filly.
Nyx yelled “We must hurry. We have to save the ponies from the dreadful Draconies”
This all started two months before. Luna was talking about the games Celestia and her use to play. And she talked about the Dracony games. And it gave Nyx some ideas which she talked to her friends about. They work out the details. They talked the princesses about playing the Draconies. Twilight wasn’t quite sure about it but after she saw the look on Celestia’s face she agree. Celestia did raise the sun and moon for 1000 years. Twilight could play a silly game for a day to make Celestia happy.
The game is simple it is a big water fight in Everfree. The young ponies against the royal ponies. Of course the Royal ponies have an advantage they could use magic. The CMC made water balloon catapults to put more power in their control. And they call out to every town in Equestria to build an army to fight the evil Dracony force. And an army they got. Each group had over fifty ponies in them.
The pony army ran into Everfree and swarmed the streets. Sweetie Belle’s team was the first to find their target. Shining Armor was now in battle. And after an epic battle Shining Armor was defeated. Sweetie belle took the drenched Shining Armor to a cage in the castle courtyard.
While Shining Armor’s battle was going on all the other teams find their targets. Spike got Twilight, Bright Eyes got Shooting Star, Scootaloo got Cadence, Apple bloom got Luna, and Nyx got Celestia. And they all know the Alicorns wouldn’t go down as easily as Shining Armor; they can fly. Their plain is simple take out the easy ones first. So Sweetie belle’s team join Spike’s to battle Twilight. After some time Twilight gave up. She had some work to finish anyways. She was taken to her cage.
Shining Armor said as her sister walk up “what you couldn’t handle the battle.”
“Didn’t I last longer than you, Captain of the Guard?” Twilight said with a grin. They heard some guards laughing.
Twilight toweled off herself as Firefly and the other guards stood watch over the evil Draconies.
The Forces the hunt down Twilight is had now joined in Scootaloo forces to take down Cadence.
A little bit later they stopped for lunch. Celestia, Luna, and Shooting Star were dry, but Cadence was wet. Celestia laughed.
Cadance smile as walk over and stepped into a cage. Then she said “let’s see you three stay dry now.”
Shooting star looked at the other two “I know Draconies work alone, but this time let’s work together.”
Luna smile “what do you have in mind.”
All three lean their heads in and talk.
After lunch the three remaining Draconies went to the same location and flew fast patterns to make the catapults useless. Then they use water from sea to dive bomb the ponies.
As night came over Everfree the parents of the now tired army of Nyx. Watch their war wear out offsprings walked back with the shame of being beaten and defeated by the powerful Draconies. They turn to face the Dracony herd and sworn that next time they will win. Or die trying. Then they dragged themselves over to their waiting parents.
The Draconies went back to the castle to take off their Dracony outfits. As they reach the Castle they found Twilight’s little Captain asleep on her back. After Twilight put Nyx to bed she joined the other Dracony in the library. The three victories Dracony were laughing and talking about their win.
Twilight said “why didn’t you let them win?”
Celestia Smile and said “because it isn’t the Dracony way. We never won our father or our mother at any Dracony game.” Celestia turn to Luna “Luna, how about we host it next year?”
Luna thought for a bit “Yes, that would be great and I know the perfect place to have it. Trotting Meadow; it has that lake in the middle of it.”
Twilight asked “what is Trotting Meadow?”
“It is Luna’s summer camp. She started it soon after she got turn back to herself.” Celestia said.
Twilight asked “then why haven’t I heard of it? If Luna is running a summer camp then it should be front page news.”
Luna looked sad “the camp hasn’t worked out like I planned; no one came the first two years. Parents didn’t want to send their colt or filly to a camp ran by nightmare moon.”
“That is silly, I would send Nyx to your camp if you still run it.” Twilight said.
“Thank you Twilight I appreciate those words of kindness.” Luna said with a smile “I wouldn’t be able to run it this year; too much going on.”
“Luna, would you let Pinkie and Rainbow Dash run it if they want to?” Twilight asked.
Luna look surprised “I never thought of asking anyone to run it in my place. Yes, that would be great. Now I don’t have to tell any pony that is it close this year.”
“Then I would ask then first thing tomorrow and get back to you.”
Celestia got up. “Luna we should get back to Canterlot night court all be a hand full tonight. How about I take the first half and you take the second half.”
“That would be great sister.” Luna got up and left with Celestia.
Shooting Star stood up. “I will be going to bed. Good night.” And he left.
Cadence said “bed sounds great. Good night. Shining are you coming.”
“Yes dear, right behind you. Good night Twilight”
Twilight looked around and turned off the lights and went to bed also.
