> War of Ali: Rise of Dell > by Aetherstar > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > In The Begining... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Cant you see I want you gone?!"Dell flew away from Luna. "Can't you see?" The princess lay lorn on the rocky and dust-filled ground. She heard the cheering of Dell's guards nearby. Luna's eyes opened, glowing a teal aura. "Guards, take him down!" she coughed. "Oh, Luna, I know all your spells, tactics and the way through Equestria! I think It'll be okay, I'll domineer you and all royalty," The orange alicorn chuckled. "yet I don't want Equestria as mine. I just want your security, your castle, your throne and your sister!" There was a rumble in the solid ground. Something with many legs broke rocks, roots and soil. It had to weigh more than 780 Celestia's guards. Worms started coming from the ground as the creature looked down at Luna. Its eyes were a solid amaranth with teeth that weren't as sharp as other creatures. Luna laughed uncomfortably, "Do you have a grinder at your house? I don't want to hear it, but you can chomp on a chew toy later." Dell hovered over the giant creature. "Tyrunant, take her away." > Awakening > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOM! Dragon Gem woke in a bed with wrinkled sheets and blankets on the cold, cobblestone floor. She had no experience with this bed at any point in time but now. "It's about time you woke up! I think you're the new record holder for...something," A yellow coat and orange maned earth pony said. "The name's Carrot Top, and an atomic bomb was fired near the ocean. We must escape the Celestial Valley." "I do like the upgrade with the wings, and I like I'm a uniborg now." Dragon gem leaped out of bed. She shuffled through files to read. Patient: Carrot Top Age: Mare Diagnosis: None, but demands to become cypony. Treatment: Follow demands Patient: Dragon Gem Age: Filly Diagnosis: Blindness and no magic Treatment: Cypony surgery Patient: Dell Fillivon Age: 11 Diagnosis: Insanity. Cheese addiction. Best dancing ever. Awesomeness. Is a horse Cool Treatment: Party Carrot Top face-hoofed "Why would they write that?" "I have no idea" The filly muttered. > Rune of Pain > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Welcome, my guards," Dell announced. "we have destroyed, crushed, hacked, torn and stabbed many ponies in our time." curtains dropped to reveal many different races, genders, ages of ponies dead. Some had their brains out, some were burned and some were in blood, hearts on the crimson floor. Nobody knew these ponies. "PLEASE LET ME GO!" Luna screeched. There was electricity held back in an generator connected to the princess of the moon. Luna said mellifluously, "If you do pull that lever, you will suffer, cutie. Dell flew over to Luna and put her in a small cage. He then removes the wires from Luna "You're such a great princess" The ruling alicorn put his hoof on his head. It brushed smoothly through his azure mane. Luna screeched again. The Rune of Pain was on Luna's chest " PaIn Is WhAt I cAuSe" Luna said. > Scizzor > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrot Top smiled as she left the Celestial Valley hospital. "...and then a giant scissor-hoofed doll in rusted metal stalked Copper Hawk!" Dragon Gem rushed in front of the mare. "That sounds spOOOOOooooky!" The foal's grey foal's eyes were a light brilliant amber. "Do you think the story's true?" "I don't think so. If it's real, we better not interfere with it." Suddenly, there was clinking and clipping around the corner as the two entered the a stormy forest. "I'm coming for you, I'm coming soon, for you" The figure jumped out of the bushes. The metal in a rusted dress, the pink bow, the banana-yellow mane and a torn teddy bear. "Hello, I like to chop and change. I'm mincing your minutes to run..." The doll started cutting down trees. "RUN, RUN, RUN WHILE YOU CAN!" Carrot Top and Dragon Gem dashed away from the tumbling plants and crying animals. They dashed into a cave after twenty-one minutes of being threatened. The ground had rounded rubies, diamonds and jet gems. "Sable, Sableye!" a thing scratched down the metal and torn the mane and bow. The doll was gone forever. The two trotted out of the gem cave. "What was that?" Dragon Gem asked, forgetting that the doll ever existed. "Oh, it was some chimerical creature, probably" A voice echoed, "Yes, my morph had fooled them both. > Flaming Aftermath > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The doll pony was dragged to the Canterlot Castle's basement by the Sableye. "Grand leader Dell, they got the decoy dead." "Oh, GREAT! We could've killed them!" Dell hissed with anger, "Triton! Cease the poor Pokemon!" Triton blasted Sableye right through the center of him. The water was red and purple with gems floating along in the flow. "Boom.Okay, let's get ice cream." Dell pulled out his fire sword "Okay, Octavia, guard the place." The other guards left after locking the main entrance. Dell hung around just for the fun of it. About 13 minutes later, he had left. "Great, the leader leaves me in charge. This is my time to slack off." Dragon Gem approached a flaming tower. "Can we explore it?" Dragon Gem asked. Carrot Top didn't respond. "Miss? Where do you go?" > Open Flame > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dragon Gem put on a samurai helmet.She was scorched after boards kept piling up on her. Although the tower was small from the outside, it felt larger inside. The time it took to reach the top felt like ages. "u]Who are you??? YOU MUST BE KILLED!" A voice snapped. The filly backed up, nearly collapsing into a fiery pit of gold. Dragon Gem panicked, trying to flap her wings. "Yes, let go of the wood! DO IT, DO IT! No, I mustn't! But you must!" The pony sighed. The uniborg slipped into the pit, hearing the cries of Ifrits. She dove into the fire, getting engulfed in simmering heat. Suddenly, it stopped. It was cool and soothing. The pain was gone. "Are you okay?" The pony asked. Dragon Gem opened her eyes to see Princess Luna and a Gray pony were carrying her to a parlor. The filly was quiet. "This is our destiny" The gray pony growled. "Now, Octavia, we are getting Carrot Top to take Dell down. He just wants to be royal and kill all non-alicorns." > Show Down > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dell was biting down on an ice cream sundae with Carrot Top "Don't you want a bite?" The dawn-eyed alicorn asked. It was as if the brute was trying to force the earth pony to stuff something in her muzzle. "No, thanks. I have friends. and you are not one of them. You may place runes on ponies, but they wear easily." Carrot Top got up and walked away. Dell waited for her to leave and saw a little filly sit in a chair. "I want you gone, can't you see?" She laughed, "Won't you like to know that Luna is no longer cursed? I might give you 654,981,000 bits. Luna owns it." The princess grunted. Dell, unfortunately, knocked the sundae as he jumped onto the table. Dell used his magic surge to transform into a bear. Dell was fluffy fur and bulging sun-orange eyes was just in a pile, standing on his hind legs. The foal jumped back into a tree. "Dell, I'm a supercomputer, I can now show you my power." Dragon Gem flew into the air and crashed into Dell the bear. She summoned rocks to hit the bears head. The gray filly felt stunned. "What just happened?" She locked over at Dell, cowering in a corner as a pony. He seemed to be bleeding in the head uncontrollably. "Please stop hurting me! I'm a scared alicorn, I just wanted the strongest race to live forever!" Luna chuckled,"Everypony is strong, but that doesn't mean I can't derank you to an earth pony, the strongest of all the ponies!" "Please Princess, I'll handle it...my 'outburst of smartness' might happen, then a can do that. > Letter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Guard Team, I am suffering from being an earth pony.
