Pinkie Pie The Royal Knight

The Royal Ball

The Royal Ball

Shining Armor was getting ready to leave Canterlot and head back home to his wife. He felt ashamed for how he acted towards his sister but felt it would be too soon to apologize and mean it. Before leaving he stopped by Steel Wall's office to speak with his former teacher.

When he got to Steel Wall's office he knocked on it before a gruff "Come in" came from behind the door. He opened the door and went inside, before he saluted his mentor.

"Hello Steel Wall sir, I have been hoping we could have a small talk before I make my way back to the Crystal Empire."

Steel Wall smiled at how big Shining Armor had grown. "Well, if it isn't my favorite pupil turned prince, of course we can talk soldier."

Shining blushed at the compliment. "Well you see it's about Pinkie Pie. I heard she was in training to be a guard. Is this true? What about her relationship with my sister, don't you see anything wrong with it?"

Steel Wall hated gossip more than he hated wimps, "Listen up Shining; I will not repeat what I am about to say ever. Pinkie Pie is one of the finest guards I have ever trained so far. She has tremendous potential and even more guts than I have witnessed in any guard before her. While she lacks discipline and mental stability, she aces in adapting and making an effort to do what's needed. I hated the idea of her being a guard until I saw how driven she was. As for her relationship to your sister...I wasn't too happy with it either at first, I will admit. It was hard being stern with a pony that had the princess fawning all over her. Princess Twilight has never been happier from what I've seen. If you want my advice Shining; don't make your sister upset about being happy. There is far too little in this world that can make a pony smile from the bottom of their heart and Pinkie Pie makes your sister do just that."

Shining Armor couldn't believe that Steel Wall would vouch for a hyperactive baker with an addiction to sweets. If what Steel had said was true then Shining would just have to accept it. "Yeah, I guess that is true. We all deserve happiness or at least to find something that can make us less miserable."

Steel Wall chuckled, "That's the spirit, now if you will excuse me I have some things I need to do. I will see you at the Royal Ball right?"

Shining Armor nodded, "Alright then I shall be going, it was nice talking to you."

"To you as well," Steel Wall replied before getting back to his duties.

Life in Canterlot returned to normal for the most part. Time seemed to have fly by due to the lack of problems and invasions. Pinkie Pie had been a diligent student and even cut down on her antics by just a bit. Princess Luna was learning that being the sole heir to a throne wasn't as fun as she had once believed it to be so long ago. Spike had been volunteering to watch over Celestia because Discord had an assignment from Luna to investigate the origins of the dragon.

Discord was more than happy to do so since he believed that Celestia isn't innocent and wanted to make sure he was wrong before he stopped being suspicious. Celestia was still on lock down during the day until she had her naps with her sister. They were still working on their relationship as both sisters and lovers.

Twilight had been accompanying Luna and learning about what it truly meant to be a princess. She found that it was boring but she also imagined how it would be with Pinkie at her side. Princess Pinkie Pie had a nice ring to it, and Twilight also found it humorous. Still, life in Canterlot was going back to being alright.

Soon it was already time for the Royal Ball. With the threat of possible invasion still in the midst Luna decided to up the security detail for the event. She wanted the event to still go on to keep the facade of everything being alright going. It would be the first time that Celestia could be free from her shackles and the room. She also knew it would be a grand night because she wouldn't allow anything to mess it up.

____________________________________________________________

It was the day of the Royal Ball and everypony who was anypony was going. Twilight had invited her friends to come back to Canterlot and join her tonight. Rarity had been dying to go to the event so she and Applejack were going. Fluttershy had found a decent pony to watch her animal friends and decided she would go too which meant Rainbow Dash was going to attend.

Shining Armor and Princess Cadence were due to arrive which made Twilight nervous. She was hoping her brother wouldn't still be a jerk like last time. She hadn't spoken to him since their argument all those days ago. She was also nervous about announcing her engagement to Pinkie Pie. She had vowed to marry Pinkie after she became a royal guard.

She wasn't sure how it would go since it would be the first time in history a princess married a pony of the same gender. She decided to forget all her worries and just get ready for the occasion while helping Pinkie get in a fancy tux. "Honey, why don't you wear a dress?"

Pinkie Pie was getting used to Twilight trying out pet names...But it made her hungry being called honey. "Well, it just doesn't suit me now that I am a tough warrior," she said with a giggle.

Twilight laughed and nuzzled her fiance, "Well as long as your my warrior I guess you can wear whatever you want."

Pinkie Pie kissed Twilight with passion and smiled, "I would rather be dead than be without you, Twilight. Tonight you will be treated like the princess you are."

Twilight's heart melted and also her shame as she and Pinkie Pie proceeded to make love and cause them to not get ready as soon as intended.

____________________________________________________________

Luna was freaking out about what to wear, "Why do we even wear clothing? I don't normally dress in cloth...You don't either at least not during the grand galloping Gala, you went in the buff and no one batted an eye."

Celestia was amused, "Well why don't you go naked? You look good in your birthday suit."

Luna looked over and narrowed her eyes, "You find this funny? I'm trying to make a good impression and you wish to mock me?"

Celestia mulled it over for a second, "Yes! I do, and I do think you look fabulous without clothing on my dear sister."

Luna wasn't sure if Celestia was hitting on her or just being kind, "Well then why don't you prove it?"

Celestia blushed when her sister winked, "But tonight is the party don't you want to make sure you're ready?"

Luna went over to her sister and whispered, "We can be a little late, my love."

Thanks to their passionate love making they too were not ready as soon as they wanted to be.

____________________________________________________________

It was later in the evening when all the ponies had finally arrived. Luna was wearing a dress that Rarity had fashioned for her long ago. It was a black dress embroidered with moon symbols and it fit her body just right to show off her mare-ish figure. She wow'ed the crowed with it.

Twilight was wearing a dress that was cosmic inspired like the Gala, but it was more elegant than the previous attire. She had a special sewn in pink star in her cosmic dress just to make it perfect.

Rarity was not one to be out shined and worn something she had created just for this event. It was a white dress that had layers and it almost touched the floor on it's ends. It was frumpy on the flank and tail sides but it was tight when it came to her abdomen area.

Celestia wore nothing and looked fabulous doing so. She had never felt a desire to wear clothing and she shouldn't have to when she looked so amazing without it. Luna wasn't pleased but Celestia was giddy until she decided to stop torturing her sister and put on something matching Luna's outfit.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie wore tuxedos and didn't care what others thought. Rainbow Dash wasn't into frou frou stuff and hated wearing a dress and since she wore a tux at her wedding she felt it would be cool to wear one at the ball. Pinkie Pie wore it because she felt her femininity was lost becoming a rough and bold guard, despite Twilight assuring her of that not being the case.

Fluttershy wore a dress, similar to her gala one as well, that Rarity made for her. Rarity liked seeing Fluttershy dressed up since she was an excellent model. Fluttershy just didn't want too much attention and hoped the dress she wore wasn't going to bring any unwanted advances.

Shining Armor was wearing a suit of armor. It worked as both a fashionable attire and emergency battle gear.

Princess Cadence wore a dress made from the Crystal Empire that shined and had the crystal heart symbol embroidered on it. She felt amazing being able to light up a room.

Spike was hanging out with Steel Wall and didn't attend the party. He didn't want to be in the room with Rarity while she looked amazing and wasn't his for the taking. He decided he could be more useful scouting the perimeter than he would be pining over a mare he could never have.

Steel Wall was in the outer edge of Canterlot making his rounds. He usually attended the party as Celestia's escort but with the looming threat he decided to opt out and be on guard. He also knew that Luna wouldn't appreciate having a stallion be his sister's escort since she was infatuated with her.

He dodged two bullets in one bold move by risking his life against whatever came to mess up Canterlot.

____________________________________________________________

Discord had been flying around Equestria searching for clues or any trail of magic that would lead to who or whatever was responsible for that dragon. Black dragons don't just come from no where and if anypony had the nerve to release and use one it would have to be somepony with intense magic.

The only other idea was that it wasn't a pony that made the dragon attack, but another dragon, which could mean that the dragons want to wage war. Discord knew that it wasn't impossible for those giant winged gem eating scaled beasts to take over a pony infested continent.

Still the idea would be ridiculous since Equestria had dragons with no issues about sharing the land. "Those beasts are fine being in volcanic regions and wouldn't want a castle for a home, so what in Tartarus caused that dragon to attack?"

Just as Discord was ready to end his search and return empty handed a dark influx of energy had been detected by him. It was something so evil that even he was a saint compared to it. He decided to track down the source of the malicious energy and get his answers.

____________________________________________________________

Inside a dark and empty cave lied an entity so foul and evil that it fed off hatred and possessed powerful creatures to do it's bidding. The evil entity had felt something entering her temporary lair and knew it would only be a matter of time before she was found. When the draconquus entered her lair she smiled and knew she had found her latest victim.

"Hello there Discord, I see you have found me."

Discord couldn't put a face to the voice but knew it sounded familiar. "So you're what's causing all this problem...Show yourself I want to make this quick."

The entity laughed, "Please don't insult me by thinking you could stop me. I am the true ruler of the night and the keeper of dreams."

Discord wasn't in the mood for shenanigans, "Alright look before I end you, wherever you are, I need to know; Did you have anything to do with Celestia being a major pain in the ass?"

The entity shrieked at that name, "I did and I wish I had succeeded. I was going to become the primal entity of all Equestria. I would then spread my evil to all the lands."

Discord now wanted to kill that creature sooner for making him wrong. "Alright, look I don't have all day so come on out will ya?"

The entity giggled, "Sure but do be a dear and stay still for me I want your body."

Discord looked over to a pure black fog-like being that looked like a pony. "Nightmare Moon?"

The entity laughed, "Just Nightmare, the moon was added by those insignificant ponies."

"So then, you aren't a pony?"

"No! I'm an ancient entity that was born of the hatred and evil of this land. I'm the Nightmare and I posses those whose hearts are impure and spread my evil until the world gets tainted. I messed up by possessing Luna long ago and got banished to the moon where my power weakened."

"So you're just a pushover now eh?"

"Never! I tried taking Celestia over but her mental will broke me off thanks to those meddling ponies. I had to flee to the nearest mindless beast and took over it's body. I became a Nightmare Dragon but the body couldn't hold my evil and that pink haired one damaged it internally."

"So you're quest for revenge has ended? So you have come here to fade away?"

"No I am biding my time and I will spread my evil to a flock of dragons and transform them all into Nightmare Dragons and end Celestia's reign. Well that was my plan but I have an even better one."

"What is that, may I ask?"

"Sure since it involves me doing this!"

The Nightmare entered Discord's body while he was distracted and spread it's evil throughout his form. She reached his brain and heart and slowly took over both. It was only a matter of minutes before she had taken over Discord completely.

Discord's body began transforming as he screamed in pain and agony. "Noooo! Help me!" he cried out in vain since there was no pony around. Soon his mind was losing control and his body had already become darker than the night.

When it was all said and done there was no more Discord but Nightmare Anarchy that was in the cave. "Now I shall go to Canterlot and destroy it with my new found power. My evil shall spread across the lands and with nothing capable of stopping me I will force Celestia to kneel before the Nightmare."

Nightmare forces, yay! A warrior based story just cannot be complete without putting the Protagonists in impending peril. And Discord? Really? You just had to put one of my favourite characters in control of a being who was weakened by the EoH, likely weakened by having been ejected from Celestia, and most likely weakened when its dragon host was forcefully destroyed by our favourite pink mare. And she is currently trying to 'corrupt' a chaotic mind. In reality, that's likely to make Discord more docile than he was before! And likely it would just take another blast from the EoH to weaken it again. I don't know about this, but a symbiotic creature, which Nightmare is, can almost never survive the separation from its host. Even if Nightmare is strong, one more separation should down it for good. Even if not, the separation from a being more powerful than most of Equestria combined (Including the princesses!) should make it sufficiently weakened enough for Spike to kill by thwacking it with a letter. Which brings up another point, why would Celestia be able to resist, after a while, but Discord, who is leagues stronger then both princesses combined, cannot. Let alone that the chaotic state of his mind should have stuck the Nightmare in a cotton candy cloud while listening to 'Chocolate Rain', while it is, in fact raining chocolate! I like the story, but as always, explain it. Give us a reason, something, but we the fans know, that if this were even possible, it would have happened long before now, and by following what Nightmare said about the sealing weakening her, sure as tartarus should not be even possible now! And reformed does not mean weaker, he just promised to leave Equestria alone, nothing about other nations. He could find a new kingdom, stab Nightmare with a chocolate spear, and have bunny vulture hybrids pick at its non-existent guts for all of eternity, and as long as it didn't harm Equestria, no promises were broken. He could get off scott free, no hassle, no fuss. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE, call now and Discord will invade your personal space and dance to a variety of comedic songs, all while doing all of the things mentioned before!

4873212 There isn't much "clop" in the future chapters. Also that Spike being a pet thing is the only way I could have described him back then since I started this fic long ago. I never saw Spike as an equal to the ponies back then because he just seemed like a side character.

That was long ago and while I still don't think Spike is some amazing character I did update my view of him in the further chapters.
