Twilight Gets a Puppy.
The Movie,
Part Two
[ Canterlot, Early Spring]
“Hmmm.” Shining Armor hummed to himself as the mare finished making her way down the gangplank to the ground.
“Bark?” Rahs questioned.
“Oh just thinking. Remember, I did say when I came back from the future, that the sixth one in your little fan club was going to be a rather intense mare.” Shining Armor gestured to the mulberry colored unicorn. “That fits as pretty intense, and then there's the dramatic entrance and crap. Think that's her?”
Rahs flattened his ears to his head glaring at his older brother, whose grin just widened.
He sighed, rolling his eyes and sniffed the air, getting a lot of other scents, but with most of the crowd moving out from between the stage and the ship he got a good read on the mares scent.
“Woof.” Rahs offered.
“Huh, still smells like prey then,plus, bears, and oil?”Shining Armor shrugged. “Ah well, it was worth a shot.”
“Arf.” Rahs added.
“And yeti?”
“Ruff.”
“Lot's of yeti...... “ Shining Armor's eyes narrowed.” I'm going to move to the other side of the stage to better cover everyone, be ready for anything. If this mare tries to do anything to Cadence I'm going to send what's left of her back to the Storm King in a matchbox.”
Rahs glanced down at his brother who was already moving to the new position. He spared a glance to the alicorns on stage, meeting Luna's gaze, the dark alicorn nodded to him, then he turned his attention back to the mare and the ship.
If she tried anything, she was in for a world of hurt.
He had to admit though, this was the most ballsy thing he had ever seen, and this mare had a poker face that would have made her a killing in Las Pegasus.
“Twilight.” Cadence frowned as she muttered under her breath, stepping back closer to Shining Armor as he moved up..
“I know, I know. Though I did invite everyone, even the Storm King.... sorta, it was a open ended invite.” Twilight sighed, glancing to the collapsed pillars. “Maybe she's just a bad driver?”
“Be on your guard Twilight Sparkle. Something is odd with this.” Luna muttered.
“I think I know that mare.” Celestia considered regarding the one before them.
“Err hello, welcome to the friendship summit, I'm Twilight Sparkle, who might you be?” Twilight asked moving to the edge of the dais closest to the mare, though she was still a good twenty to thirty feet away. Twilight spared a moment to glance at her brothers,noting that both of them were ready for any shenanigans.
The mulberry colored mare looked at the purple alicorn with interest then looked to the white unicorn and the moon dog on either side of the dais.
“Well isn't that convenient. My name is Tempest Shadow. I come bringing a message from the Storm King.”Tempest offered, her voice loud enough to echo around the nearly silent pavilion.
“Right, okay.”Twilight smiled a little trying to be friendly” What's the message?”
The Storm King requests your immediate and total surrender. He also demands your magic as well as the magic of the other three alicorns. Give it up and this will be over quickly with no one needing to suffer... much.” Tempest ordered.
There was silence for a moment after the proclamation.
“She's kidding... right?” Sombra muttered to Rarity who was next to him on the other side of the alicorns. Rarity simple shrugged and Pushed Sweetiebelle behind her.
“Right..... There are only so many ways to take that without me blasting you in the face to 'give' you my magic. “ Twilight sighed.” I think perhaps what is best for you right now is to get back on your ship, and leave. You can pass a message back to the Storm King, that I said no.”
“Your funeral.” Tempest stated lifting her hoof, revealing a strange golden orb resting in it. She gripped a ring jutting from the side of it in her teeth and yanked the pin free and calmly tossed the glittering golden orb at Twilight.
The ball had barely left her hoof when a magenta shield formed over the dais, the ball bounced off of it and landed on the ground rolling a bit before getting stuck between a gap between cobblestones and coming to a stop..
“ We think perhaps she is not going to deliver thine message Twilight.” Luna frowned.
“Ummm, seriously was that it?” Twilight questioned, sparing a glance back at Shining Armor seeing if it did anything to him or his shield. Her older brother was simply glaring at Tempest.
“Of course not..” Tempest offered, spitting the pin to the side.” The pins out, the magic will release in three... two..
“Rahs!” Twilight snapped, though the moon dog had already snatched up the orb, the first flare of magic coming from it was bitten into and ripped from the device and devoured.
Rahs growled, it tasted like black licorice.
The golden coloration of the orb faded, leaving a dull gray ball. Twilight frowned noting that the only spell she had seen on the ball was a basic glamor illusion, likely to make it appear gold.
Tempest sat down raising her fore hooves before her, slapping them together as she clapped.
“Bravo, Bravo Sparkles.” Tempest grinned.”You did exactly what I thought you would do. I win.”
“What?” Twilight demanded, her head whipping to the side as Rahs yelped.
The ball had crumbled to dust, but that dust clung to Rahs hand and seemed to rapidly grow, spreading along his arm as he tried to brush it off, his coat cracking and splintering like stone as his hand slapped at it as the gray climbed higher towards his chest . The gray spread quickly covering the moon dog in a few seconds turning the blue furred figure into gray stone, leaving him with one arm outstretched and a look of panic on his face.
Before any one could react, The shield dropped as both Twilight and Shining Armor cried out, coughing and wincing, A cough from shining spread the gray powder out of his muzzle as he clutched his chest, his nose and head rapidly turning to the same stone gray as Rahs. Twilight barely lasted a moment longer, managing to light up her horn as if to attack Tempest, before she was turned to stone as well.
“SHINING!!” Cadence screamed out.
Luna and Celestia shook off their shock turning to Tempest only for the mare to have charged her horn and fired a blue a spark of energy into the air. The bolt exploded in a burst like a firework.
A moment later scores of airships descended from the clouds, the Storm Kings entire fleet dropped from the sky, weapon ports open and and firing off cannons and balista bolts as they descended.
“You should have surrendered.” Tempest stated as yeti started swarming out of the ship behind her.
Pulls out the betting table. Roll up roll up place your bets on who has the highest knocked out or dead yeti count from team nightmare romance team sun bug team trixjack the princes and there girlfriends the sisters team kind laughter and lastly sunset being allowed to go nuclear on them oh and second bet how many if the previous team fizzy knocks out without effort
nicely done

Which side
Somehow I have a feeling that this is going to go tits-up for them real fast after that initial victory, because now they have Rahs's fangroup being justifiably quite pissed, along with Twilight's friends.
Aint that the truth, but they're also the most fun!
No, you should have... because there is still far far too much firepower and large personalities in this city for this to end well for you
Also, those three and Spike are not the only Sparkles in this city
And you just pissed of every powerful God and Demi-God you can think of! And not just the Alicorn Gods either! Your forces are in for a world of Hurt and you don't even know it.
So petrification still working on Rahs? Well, now they would realize their biggest weakness is anything that affect Rahs would also spread to the other three as well. Let's see how Luna and Celestia going to handle this one.
10941091
Well. Lets think of the forces that are currently fighting and then add the reinforcements later.
On one side, we have the remaining 3 princesses, Rarity, Witchjack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Gilda, Sombra, Sunset, Saturnia, The CMC (Pray to your God that they don't go on a Crusade), Trixie, Maohk the cow, Thunderbolt the griffin, and quite a few Changelings.
On the other side, You have Tempest Shadow and an army of Yetis.....and that's about it.
For reinforcements, Twilight's side has Several Gods (including Aqua, Discord, and Chrysalis), Jynx and her Diamond Dogs, the Crystal Empire, Griffinstone, Bleu, and Twilight's Parents.
And we all remember the Sparkle family motto of "Quare utere malleo aequatam, cum a tribula malleus in vobis?"
On the Storm Kings side, he has more Yeti...and a few ships, but let's be honest. Those are going to be broken. Quite quickly.
Ooookay. Not a sparkle Roflstomp then.
Celly! Turn up the heat!
*insert hardstyle*
That only works on Angel's dad.
Alright, I'll give that one to her. But, we still have 2 combat capable gods, a hormonal one, the rest of the mane 6, the CMC, a couple of demigods, and I'll be surprised if Shining didn't call in some favors to have some of the 666th around incognito.
You know the misfortune malachite is magical so honestly I find it bull$4!+ that Rahs couldn’t break it’s effects
Well Tempest still goofed she took out Shiny in front of Cadance and Chrysalis. I think at least two entire species will be making the Storm King’s day very bad.
Well, that was not what I was expecting... Things might get interesting.
10941179
She took out Rahs, which puts two gods, two demi-gods, Applejack (maybe) and Trixie on her tail. Mind you, I have a sneaking suspicion that this is going to annoy a great many gods.
10941163
depends on how it works i guess
Someone has been doing her homework. But did she decide to stick with the easy “A,” or go for the extra credit problems, too?
Let this be a lesson folks: Never stick strange weapons in your mouth.
So… time for Nightmare Rarity, Applejack, Flutterbat, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Sombra, Trixie, and the rest of Fuzzy’s suitors to go to war against the storm king.
Because I do not foresee Tempest surviving long against Chrysalis and her Changeling hoard.
10941163
not right away anyway.
Gloat cometh before the fall, on Both sides.
*sigh*
let me guess, she also has counters for every single "pissed off girlfriend/relative/god/demigod" (that people here in the comments have already listed) in attendance as well, right?
10941163
So are poison joke and potions, yet both work on him without him breaking them. Clearly alchemical substances affect him, which this obviously is.
10941135
True wich is why I have a betting pool on who causes the most carnage
Alllright, time to find out just how bad this goes for Pony Edgelord Supreme, or how bad this goes for everyone else around cuase the story set up a few ways this may not be a total curb stomp, plus everyone is expecting that so knowing this story......
I am all for this! "Date me or I rupture your spleen!"
Heh, again the story nails the sibling dynamics. Though odd for him to be joking right after his reaction to seeing this is the Storm King's minions.
Oh well, back to Starlight then as the next one? Also, was that a joke about her wrestling bears?
Dis gonna be gud!
And then the whole crowd burst out laughing, and those from Ponyville started making bets on which of the many, many being here will be the one to finish her off first.
Okay, in the movie this was at least tried, the grenade just had some kind of anti-magic effect that let it push through the shield. That I can buy...... Celestia and Luna just staring at it doing nothing for several seconds while it slowly worked it's way through... that was just stupid.
Hey that stuff is amazing!
Saw that coming, too obvious a way to actually takeout all the Sparkles in one move to not be used. Leaving only... all the other beings able to end you around to be pissed.
I mean, gotta give all the other utter badasses here their chance to kick some ass!
10941135
Also have the Storm King's son, who it seems is basicly just a big dumb brute, going to be fun seeing him get pounded. Plus whatever it was Grubber was doing hiding out in the crowd earlier. There are a few surprises still, but not enough to save this assualt or keep all the other badasses ready to kick ass from, well, kicking ass.
10941369
Please, this was the obvious way to deal with the most obvious threat that relied only on what has been established from the start. Any magical effect on Rahs transfers to the other three. It's not different then all the times he got hit by Poison Joke and Shining had to deal with Cadance being even kinkier then normal.
10941370
There really isn’t anything that explains what the malachite is other than it is powerful and brings bad luck to those that carry it honestly it sounds more like one of those “ancient magic that backfired on the user” type of item rather than alchemy which as far as I know of the MLP world is that natural objects are what is used for it with it’s main purpose being potions and the misfortune malachite doesn’t seem all that natural to me more like it is powered by dark magic.
ooooooooooooo..... she done pissed off the wrong ponies, and extra creatures.... hehehe...
10941410
Keep in mind, the comics are noncanon, so that might not even apply here.
I'm curious, how can you bind the god of magic with magic? Oh right, the same way Harmony locked the goddess of the moon on the moon
Spike who? Bleu(ue?) mych
10941430
Per a statement from Jim Miller ( guy who was put in charge of the canon for most of FiM up till the end) that was given at the cons the comics follow the rules of old Star Wars canon. They're canon except where the show specifically contradicts them.
Nightmare rarity has entered chat
Guess spike got effected too
Well, Twilights down, so she cant go Hippo and Spikes a Lithovore so he already stone based, so what variation does the orb do to him?
Yetis armour, shields and weapons are made, or coated with that dust, to dump magical effects and give resistance to piercing, blunt trauma? But what good is surviving the blunt trauma that fires you several miles into the upper atmosphere if your parasail got shredded?
Oh shit!
I do have to wonder; if any of them get shattered, how long would it take for them to come back? We know gods are impossible to kill when you're just destroying their physical forms-- otherwise the running duel between Celestia and Chrysalis would have ended a long time ago. By that logic, would the petrification be countered by their own "devine regeneration" or would it take completely destroying the petrified forms to reset things so they can come back?
Still, smart villainess scores first blood. Question now is how violent will the counter strike be assuming there isn't another plan to prevent it? (All I can think of is holding foals hostage or there's a whole ship full of those Deus Ex pokeballs to stone everyone important)
All that's missing in the next couple chapters is a call Don true / killer. Quoting a character from League of Legends I am not a God I am not a demon I am Darken!
Uh-huh. Well, you have once again subverted our expectations. Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids!
10941694
shining armor and spike aren't gods, so there is that danger of them getting shattered.
I still say this is gonna end up with some post fight sex between Twilight , Big Mac, and Tempest if for no other reason than once all said and done and Tempest has been defeated/shown the light, Twilight's gonna be turned on as anything to meet a mare who can outsmart her like that!

This wallpaper comic by Dilarus a while back would be accurate in theme.

So no Sparkle rofl stomp, but a rofl stomp isn’t off the table just yet
*sigh* And of course drama dog doesn't know the "In case of explosive object/weapon" rule...
Thinking about this:
1) The Sparkle Squad is out of commission. TwilightC Rahs, Spike, and Shining all turned to stone.
2) If Tempest turns to stone all 4 princesses, the storm king wins.
3) We know Tempest is going to lose because we were just reminded of a certain time travel event that takes place after this which involves all 4 sparkle siblings.
4) Odds are two more princesses are going to be turned to stone. The big question is which ones. Ideally it will be Celestia and Cadance.
5) This can easily be the story where a number of characters with metaphorical chips on their shoulders have to work together to save their country. The ideal list of characters for this trip could be:
Princess Luna
Sombra
Rainbow Dash
Rarity
Pinkie Pie
Applejack
Sombra and Luna have issues to sort out. And the both of them working together to save Equestria would do good for the both of them, and their public image to the citizenry.
Pinkie Pie would be there to keep bonking Sombra for biting Fluttershy. Regardless of the fact she bites back now.
I think Dashie still has issues to work out with the rest of the girls regarding Mare Do Well. Specifically with Applejack and Rarity. Though I can’t be sure because it’s been a while since that plot line was revisited.
So no sparkle curb stomping, this is going to be an everybody else curb stomp then?
You got Rahs' girlfriends that despite any alliances WILL band together to save their boy friend.
You got Rarity and Sombra, who is dying to use that new blade of his, two shadow masters who are going to throw down just because Tempest is interrupting their not date.
Thunderbolt, Gilda, Prince, and Rainbow dash who will fight with a 'kill count' contest between them.
Celestia and Luna who are fighting ready, also Celestia will protect cadence cause she does NOT want to incur the wrath of the sparkles for her getting hurt.
Then you got the worst case of them all. All three Apples are cheesed having to watch/ know their other halves have been stoned. Big Mac smach anyone? Applebloom finding a cutie mark anyone?
Well, given how many problems Twilight caused in the canon movie, I’m not exactly displeased at the way this chapter turned out…
Time for the other badasses to take center stage. At least in this fic we’re going to see more awesomeness for Applejack and Fluttershy than in the movie.
Three questions:
- Why is Tempest still breathing?
- Why shouldnt Celestia solar lance one ship after another...?
- Like in every fic... Isnt that a declaration of war against every race that is present?
How badly is this army getting their tails kicked in? Yes.
Thirst first to die would be Tempest... Unless maimed is good enough...
Now that was a masterful play
