Griffon of Canterlot
Chapter 45 – The Dream Adventure of Gale and Discord Part Four
Shen and Soothsayer listen to loud heavy steps got louder from the stairs, the peacock leans in close to the cannon awaiting to see the so called panda that supposedly defeat him, what they got arriving first was Gale running up into view and turning around punching the air in celebration of being first.
“Yay I got up first!”
“What?” Shen eyes shift around looking to the Soothsayer who just laughed softly.
Gale turn around seeing Shen. “You must be that Shen guy that did bad things, hi!” He waved at the peacock.
Shen slowly waved back. “Yes... Hi...”
Soothsayer laughed again. “He knows what you done yet he so cheerful, how would you ever think of harming something so pure?” She turn to Shen.
“Your making this hard on me.”
“Am I?”
“Yes...”
“Good.” She calmly turn to face the stairs as Po came into view being carried by a gorilla.
Po is thrown over the gorilla head on to his back. “Thanks for carrying me...” Po whizzed. “Those last few flights got to me...” Tigress help him up into a sitting position as Shen and Soothsayer move a little closer, they stare as Po spoke on. “I threw up a little bit on the third floor, somebody might need to clean that up.”
Tigress get annoyed with Alpha poking her with the spear and kick it out of his paw hands. “Yeah you might want to it rather disgusting.” Discord shuddered at recalling that sight. “I am going to have nightmares of that for weeks...”
“Greetings panda we meet at-”
“Hey, how you doing?” Po responds to Shen interrupting him.
Shen shift his eyes slightly and quietly reply. “Hey...”
Soothsayer walk up to him and poke him in the gut with the stick. “You grown up bigger than I thought.” She hook the stick on the cage pulling him down to her.
“Hey what you doing? Stop poking around...” Po said as she examine him.
She pull own his jaw looking inside. “Strong and healthy.”
“I do not know who you are, but please stand aside sir.”
Gale tilt his head. “Sir?”
Discord lower his head and press his paw with talon over his face pulling downwards groaning. “Idiot...”
Viper corrects Po with a whisper. “That's a lady.”
Po quickly turn to Soothsayer. “Oh sorry, the beard threw me off-”
Gale spoke up. “Goats of both female and male have beards.” Shen start to get irritated, but Soothsayer rubs her bread smiling and listening to Gale. “It even found on some forms of lizards too, they have this crest under their chins and they called the bearded-”
“Enough of this nonsense!” Shen yelled out at them and calms down a little. “Bring the prisons to me.”
Po and the others move towards Shen. “Sorry ma'am, get ready guys, keep your eyes peeled for the-” He turn and see the model. “Weapon!”
Po runs for it to only slide to a surprised stop as Gale was there holding it now in his talons looking over it. “A model of the weapon, I like these, the weapon your after Po is just to my left.” Gale point a thumb back.
Po look over to the direction of it as the others stared at the size of it too. “Oooo...” Po stood before it.
He get push down on his knees, the others brought up before Shen and the weapon on their knees too part from Gale standing to the side holding the model still. “Hahahaha, you actually believe this the warrior that destined to defeat me?”
Soothsayer walk up beside Gale. “I do not, I know he is.” She calmly reply with a smile. “Also what of the child?”
Alpha quickly speaks. “He not a threat Lord Shen, the energy in him he can't control.”
Shen chuckled. “Hold him than.” Alpha step up placing both paws on Gale's arms restraining him. “Now where were I? Oh yes.” Shen step down towards Po. “Oh look at him, a life time to plot his revenge and comes to me on his knees.”
Gale turn to Soothsayer. “How can he have plot revenge for years when the only reason we here is my puzzle sphere and the death of Master Rhino as well the metal stuff being stolen?”
“Is that so?” Gale nods. “So... If Shen didn't take Master Rhino's life or even took over the city the panda wouldn't even been here?” Gale nod again. “So it is as I saw, Shen's actions are causing this to happen as I foreseen...”
Alpha whispers to them. “Your saying that Lord Shen's actions will lead to his downfall as foretold by you 30 years ago?”
“Correct and it seem the panda not even aware of it.” Soothsayer looked up at Alpha. “Interesting development isn't it?” Alpha only could nod.
Shen notice their quiet chat. “Care to share on what you three are talking about?” All their heads turn to their direction.
Soothsayer step up to him. “He doesn't know what you did 30 years ago Shen, your actions are the reason he is here now, but you will atone for what you done though.”
Shen chuckled. “What so funny?” Po asked with a confused look on his face.
“You don't know anything, you clearly do not know.”
Po raise his head slightly with annoyance “Okay! Enough of this riddles, will you guys spill the beans?” Po looking to Soothsayer and back to Shen. “First the weapon tiny and surprise it big, than that lady over here think a guy and yet-Whoa!” Shen pull out a feather shape blade pointing it very close to Po.
“The only reason your still alive, cause I find your stupidly mildly amusing.” Shen stared at Po as he spoke.
Po stared back. “Thank you, I find your evilness extremely annoying.”
“Who do you thi-” Shen noticed the feather blade he did held missing, looking around he saw Gale had it in his talons looking over it. “How did you take it without me noticing?”
Gale didn't pay attention. “Feather engraved, silver not steel and sharp at the tip and edges, how do you hold it with your wing feathers like that?” Gale turn to Shen.
Shen was taken back by this. “I erm... I just can, now give it back you-” Soothsayer, Alpha and a few others gave him a look. “Erm... Strange bird-cat give me my blade back, please?”
“I'm a griffon and here you go.” He gave it back.
“What are you doing!?” Tigress said with shock.
Discord groans. “He evil and you gave him back his blade...”
Gale look over to Shen. “He asked nicely and it was his to begin with, why would I keep something that not mine?”
Shen chuckled putting it back in his sleeve. “The griffon is pure to fault, even Soothsayer saw that coming, didn't you?”
“Yes I did, he may show you a bit of light.”
“Not really, take aim.” He steps back and out of the way of the cannon, Alpha moved to it and aim it down at them with the gorillas opening the blinds behind them.
Gale eyes dart left and right at the cannon and them as Alpha ready to light the fuse. “Fi-”
“No!” Gale stood directly in front of them with forelegs out with wings open wide. “It would kill them! That is wrong!”
“Oh course it is griffon! Get out of the way or I will have you shot too.”
Gale stood firm recalling what Shining Armor cast a few times. “No and I will make sure you can't!” He talons glow and a bluish white shield form around them.
Shen stared at the shield that appeared. “What the blazes is that!?”
“Good question...” Tigress whispered looking around. “Discord what did Gale just do?”
“He created a shield... Not knowing how much magic he pouring into it, I can't tell it will hold a cannon shot at this range.” Discord whispered back.
Shen pull out his blade and hit it to only get it thrown out of his wing, it lands by Alpha piecing the wood. “That some trick you pulled griffon.” He rubbed his wing. “Fire now!”
Alpha look to the fuse and the stick that lit. “Lord Shen...”
“I said fire!”
Alpha look to it and back to Gale, the teen noticed Mantis on the cannon who nods to him, Gale winks to Alpha and the shield collapses. “Yes Lord Shen...” He lights it as Gale land on one knee breathing a bit to catch his breath.
The cannon doesn't fire. “Well, light the thing!”
“I-I did.” Alpha tries again but it goes out, again and again looking at the lit stick trying to figure it out seeing Gale trying not to laugh, he glance his only eye to see Mantis. “I see, you have my thanks.” He whispers to the little bug.
He reach up to light it again to get it knocked out of his paw and held by Mantis crying out. “Fear the bug!”
Shen quickly stare at him and back to the cage to see it was a toy model of Mantis inside it, Po laughs. “Haha!” Viper unlocks the lock cuffs from Tigress and she frees the others in a shift kick and punch at each of them.
They stood together ready for action. “Get the weapon!” They kick all the guards out the way. “Tigress!” Po said and she jump down him to the weapon, Po goes after Shen as he try to flee, the cannon flips with the end of the barrel facing downwards, Mantis leap up above and kick it down through the floor all the way to the ground level.
As Po lands on the stunned looking Shen, the cannon hits the ground level smashing to pieces, the sphere falls out of his robe and Gale fly over grabbing it. “Discord I got the sphere!”
“Good now get us home!”
“Okay!” Gale start shifting the rings and circle parts around quickly, unlocking each sequence as Po freezes at the sight of the tail feather markings recalling past events.
Tigress turn around to see him staring at Shen. “Yo-you were there...”
Shen smiled evilly. “Yes... Yes I was.” He quickly turns and runs grabbing Gale, the teenager caught by surprise as he dragged with Shen out the window, Shen open his tail feathers up and using them as a glider towards the large building a fair bit away.
Discord grabbed Po picking him up. “You let them get away and capture Gale you idiot!”
“At least we destroyed the weapon.” Monkey stated, Discord drop Po.
“Are you all a bunch of idiots!? If he has that here you think he wouldn't have more by now!?” Discord shouted at all of them, they standing at the balcony turn to him and back at the building afar.
Shen lands and the wolves grab Gale, taking the sphere off him and holding him to the wall. “Fire!”
Gale stared at the palace with shock. “No! You can't!”
“I have and watch.” Shen didn't look at him as the cannons fire at the palace.
Mantis speaks as they all stare at the cannonballs coming in. “No, he got way more.” Discord slap his paw over his face, stepping up behind them raising the paw up.
Discord snap his paw as they about to hit all turning into flowers covering everyone. “Whoa what happened to the sparking balls?” Po push the flowers off himself.
“Chaos magic, the next rounds won't be so lucky, best for us to go.” Discord turn around walking back inside.
“But what of Gale?”
“We have to come up with a plan, if you don't notice another wave is coming.”
“Than do more of that chaos magic!”
Discord turn to him. “I can't! I use any more and there be no more for me to use period! He got more cannonballs than I have with chaos magic! So stop your yapping and let's get-” The next volley hits.
Gale watched as cannonball after cannonball hits causing the tower to collapse with archers firing fire arrows to keep them trapped, he suddenly saw them appear on the lower level to start climbing up the side of the falling tower. “Where are they going!?” Shen said with shock.
Gale saw Discord being carried by Tigress over her shoulder unconscious as they race to the top of the tower, they leap off it onto a house roof and slide over to another before disappearing from view, they escaped. “Yes!” Gale cheered.
“You idiots!” Shen hits the gorilla in the face before racing down the stairs. “Call in the wolves, all of them! I want them ready to move, the year of the peacock begins now!” He smiled.
Gale held by Alpha spoke up. “Isn't it mid way in the year?” He look up at Alpha. “I think you were going to say something like that right?”
“Right...” Alpha rubbed the back of his head before a blade was raised by Shen. “This is the beginning of the year of the peacock... Happy new year sir.”
Shen leans in. “Tell the wolves to get the cannons loaded on the ships, now...” Alpha eye shift a bit. “NOW! NOW NOW!” Alpha quickly let go of Gale rushing up the ladder. “As for you...” Shen gaze fell upon Gale. “You sparked my interest...”
Gale gave a nervous laugh shirking back upon the dark gaze that settled upon him by Shen.

Changes made thank you
Also yeah I can see the funny side hehe, silly mistake on my part
Gale has a pure heart. I wonder what other adventures he and Discord will go to after this
Shen... Might plan to make Gale the Son he never had...
Or just make him intova soldier 
Great chapter! I liked how Gale and Mantis worked together a bit, can't wait to see what happens next!

That's a pretty interesting thought. Obviously that woukd be a bad thing, considering he already has a "family", but if Lord Shen doing it is bad then wouldn't that make Celestia bad as well? In both situations it woukd be someone adopti g someone to fufil their own desires at the expense of the adoptee.

I dont know if you can compare them. They are way to different... For instance:
- One is mortal and the other isnt.
- One would be making him part of familie for protection the other for power.
- One would be a experiences leader that established herself with knownlage and wisdom wile the other is crafty and Incentive.
- One cares for the lifes of there subjects wile the other does not. ( at least at the moment... pretty sure times dictate the actions )
Celestia & Shen are nothing that can be compared. Its like you compare a school director with a nation leader. Both are top of there game but the scale and actions are to different.
But here are two versions were Celestia is basicly Shen on steroids after become a imortal:
1. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/270723/mated-for-life
Everyone not a pony or is not to important get used until they have eventualy expired. Basicly Shen at the moment with better acting. ( plus sequel )
2. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/378154/necromancy-for-foals
Basicly Shen that lived long enough to let his hostory die with passing time. Than pretends to be a 'nice leader' since everyone know the truth is gone or dont dare to oppose. ( plus sequel )
