//------------------------------// // Episode 1: Battle! Twilight's Kingdom Aftermath // Story: The Beginning Battle // by The Gamer Master Archive //------------------------------// As the years past these six young fillies grew into fine mares, becoming heroes of their land. They returned Luna to her original form. They defeated and later reformed Discord, the Spirit of Chaos. They stopped a Changeling invasion with the help of Twilight's brother and sister in law. They saved an entire empire from slavery. They saved their country from an invading forest. However as the years went by each of the six mares never told anypony about the dreams that they've been having since fillyhood. However on this day, is the day Equestria fell. The magic of earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns, and the spirit of chaos himself has been stolen by the hands of Tirek. 5 of the elements have been captured. The 3 Princess have been flung into Tartarus. The only thing that could possibly stand in his way is the final princess and final element of harmony. Princess Twilight Sparkle. After a fierce battle between the two, the two staring each other down. "How about a trade Princess?" Tirek said making seven bubbles appear, each one holding Twilight's friends, and Discord. "Your friends for all the alicorn magic!" All of her friends were screaming at her not to do it. "We aren't worth it." Fluttershy said in her bubble. After viewing 5 of the bubbles containing the the Element Bearers, her eyes shined as she said. "I will give you my magic." "No! Twilight" They shouted as Twilight's magic left her body. Tirek popped six of the bubbles as Twilight's friends fell to the ground. "All of my friends." Twilight said pointing to Discord. "Oh please, he betrayed your entire country. Plus I have a use for him sooner or later." Tirek said transporting off, leaving the ponies and Spike on that battlefield. Changeling Hive As Chrysalis sat on her throne in the hive, she heard stomping in the distance. Also by the fact that she saw a giant centaur walking towards her. "Tirek! Whatever do you want here?! Explain yourself!" Chrysalis demanded. "Oh nothing I have a bit of a proposition for you. To join me in my conquest for not just Equestria but another world as well!" "And what pray-tell would make you think I would want that?" She sneered. "Well there would be love all over the place which would mean food for your subjects. And even if you say no, I have a way to get you to work with me and my space allies." Tirek said grabbing something behind him. "And what would that be?" "I know that anger and sadness is you and your kind's poison so I brought a friend." Tirek said brining out a disheveled Discord, as Chrysalis shuddered backwards in fear. "What did you do to him?" She asked in fear. "Oh I brought him on my side betraying the ponies he sided with. Now he's just this husk." "Please no!" Chrysalis shouted in fear. "Then I suggest you join me and my space allies." Tirek smiled evilly. "Alright! I'll join you just get him away from this hive!" "You've made the right choice Queen. Now let me introduce you to my allies, just follow me," Chrysalis couldn't help but staring at Discord. "As soon as I dump this shell in the Everfree." ABORD ZANGYACK SHIP "So that was interesting." Chrysalis said. "Yes, yes it is. But I have a plan to get something better." "And what does that plan start with?" Chrysalis asked. "Giving the Elements and Princesses a bit of their magic back." Chrysalis was surprised. "What?! You spent all this time stealing the ponies magic just to give some of it back?! Are you an idiot?!" "No I have a plan don't worry." As the seven stood there in the battlefield, they then saw the Princesses arriving towards them. "Princess Celestia! Princess Luna! Cadence! I'm so glad you're all right!" Twilight said running towards them. "Yes, we are alright, for now. Twilight, you, Spike and your friends must flee to another planet." "Why do we need ta flee Princess?" Applejack asked them. "Because not only is that where Tirek plans to strike next, that's also where our next line of defense is, on Planet Earth." "What do you mean by 'next line of defense'?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Have you not been having dreams of six certain individuals since your fillyhood?" Luna asked them to which the Mane Six nodded. "Those dreams were of no coincidence. Those are to be your fated partners. They are the chosen six of heroes." "I don't understand. When I saw my dreams of what Twilight described to us as 'humans', they were just normal people. Are we honestly going to bring children into our fights?" Fluttershy asked worriedly. "While I'm not proud of this, it's what we must do to save our world and theirs. Tirek noticed the large amount of technology on their world and wants to take that over along with our own Equus." "I just hope that these humans are willing to help us, and willing to forgive us for almost making them join our fight." Cadence said looking at the ground. "Cadence, I want you to be the one to help them to the other world as well." "Why me as well?" "Because I believe that what will happen here will be to dangerous for you." "What about Shiny?" "It's alright, he got back from Canterlot with my brother and most of the ponies in Ponyville in may underground bunker. He's safe." Applejack said. "Now we are going to use our magic to send you all off on you journey to find your partners on Earth. however seeing as how they all aren't in the same location you will all be separated with a few together. Good luck on your journeys as we battle off some forces to bye you some time. Along with these." Princess Celestia said handing various keys to to the ponies with Twilight only getting two. "Yo! Princess! Where's Zangyack? We're here to crush it!" A man with a red jacket said. "Perfect timing Marvelous! We're gonna need your help to survive this." Luna said. "Goodbye, my little ponies." Celestia said using her magic to teleport the Mane Six, Cadence and Spike to various parts of the Earth.
