> MLP: The new land > by Derpyfan1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mane 6 were sitting at their table, when all their cutie marks were glowing, somewhere a dragon was attacking, this dragon looked different, it was gray, it was big, and it didn't talk in their language. They brought Spike as well, it wasn't any dragon he recognized. They only heard one understandable sentence from the dragon. "I AM ALDUIN!" They attempted to defeat him, but Alduin flew away, they attempted using magic, but it didn't work, now the Mane 6 and Spike went over to an island by ship to fight Alduin, so they sailed back, but then a bad storm hit, and set them off course, the ponies and dragon went to sleep, the ship crashed into an unknown place, The mane 6 had no idea where they were, they ran through a forest and into a cave, they set up camp, and then decide to keep on moving. "Stay alert, girls, we have no idea what we're up against, we aren't in Equestria anymore. The creatures here might be more violent, without mercy, like that dragon" Explained Twilight, they went through the dungeon a little bit, all they found were rats and bats, until a room, they opened it to find an archer. "So those human things Lyra talked about...are real?" Said Applejack "Looks to be." Replied Rainbow Dash, Rarity used her magic to defeat the Archer easily, they went through, and heard the sound of a skeleton "RRRAAAAAGHHH" Screamed the Skeleton "Oh yes, that isn't annoying at all." Said Applejack, as Pinkie was making silly faces to the skeleton, the skeleton was about to slash pinkie, but Twilight moved her out of the way just in time as Applejack kicked its face in, they went down the staircase and through a door, the mazy dungeon was not fun, but they eventually found their way into a room with a rat, a bat, and an imp, Rainbow defeated the 3 of them, and they went out of the dungeon, and made their way to the nearest city, it was named "Daggerfall" they asked a person where they were "You are in the city of Daggerfall of the High Rock province, home of the Bretons, like myself, what are you supposed to be?" Replied the man "We're ponies. From the continent of Equestria. What continent is this?" Said Twilight "Equestria? Oh yeah, I've heard of that, apparently home to the Pony beastfolk. This is Tamriel, home of man, mer, Khajiit and Argonians." Replied the man, he walked off, they went to a store and bought a map of High Rock, according to the map, they were in a dungeon named "Privateers Hold" They were far from Equestria now, and Applejack knew it, as she heard that Tamriel was on the other side of the planet from Equestria. > Ponies in Tamriel > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- They thought that they might as well keep going, there was no point in moping around anymore, they went out of Daggerfall and started exploring more of High Rock, it was majestic, magical and filled with mountains (Of course, it is "High Rock" After all) Twilight was happy that magic still worked here, they continued wandering for hours, until they encountered another dungeon, a crypt, this time, the ponies and dragon were prepared to kick some ass! They were more prepared for what was coming, the dungeon certainly was shorter, but they found treasure! Including some armor, they gave it to Fluttershy, as she needed it the most, she didn't fight, or use magic, she was trying to pacify the monsters instead, which rarely worked. They left the crypts and eventually entered a city named Wayrest, and were given gifts by someone, they were all books, as they were usually collectables. "Just as I suspected, WORDS, EVERYWHERE." Said Pinkie. "You should READ some of them." Said Twilight. "Naw, edit that, change some of that, TA DA! NEW COVER" The cover had scribbles, a title saying "Just Words" and a saucy anthro Twilight picture. "You know what Pinkie, we should just shove a balloon in your mouth." Said Applejack. "But there are lack of balloons here." Said Fluttershy, Pinkie was sad cause no balloons. "Honestly, you had it coming." Said Twilight. "But it's erasable..." She erased it, they continued through Wayrest, it was soon night, but they were convinced to move on, they exited Wayrest and continued through the wilderness, they encountered a Wereboar "What the hay is that?!" Shouted Applejack, Rainbow and her together killed it, they went south, they weren't in High Rock anymore, they noticed that they were in a desert now. "Girls, we aren't in High Rock...we need to keep moving anyway" They eventually went to a city named Dragonstar, they asked someone where they were. "This is Dragonstar of Hammerfell. What are you talking horses doing in the middle of this desert anyway?" Said the man "We got lost. We're from the continent of Equestria." Said Twilight, the man was nice enough to give them a map of Hammerfell. As they ventured more, they went into the Fang Lair, it was long, it was mazy, and it was filled with odd creatures, but then they went to the last room, a voice echoed, saying a riddle "A simple question for thee, What is neither fish nor flesh, feathers nor bone, But still has fingers, and thumbs of its own? What is thy answer, mortal?" "I dunno, a glove?" Said Twilight, the door slammed open, with 2 wolf skeletons, and a holder for what looks like a staff. "Dead end." Said Rainbow. They went south, a little bit into Cyrodiil, but they went more south, into Valenwood... > Meanwhile, in Equestria... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in Equestria, we see 5 mares and a stallion take the Mane 6's place, Their leader is Doctor Whooves, with Derpy, Lyra, Bon Bon, Octavia and Vinyl by his side "So...our friendship problem?" Asked Derpy "Derpy, my dear wife, our friendship problem is to find Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike, they aren't in Equestria...so where are they? WE WILL TRAVEL TO FIND THEM!" Replied Dr. Whooves "May I come with you?" Asked Starlight. "Come, join us, we could use an extra hoof." Replied Doctor Whooves, they hop on a ship, and set sail "I sense them...they're on the continent of Tamriel." Said Starlight "The other side of the damn planet?" Replied Octavia "Then Celestia damnit, we're going to Tamriel!" Said Doctor Whooves. A few more ponies, like the fillies, Trixie, Berry Punch, Carrot Top and the princesses said their farewells "It's about time Celestia did her job anyway." Said Bon Bon > Mystic woods, warm sands and a swamp > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's get back to the Mane 6, shall we? Valenwood, one of the prettiest provinces in Tamriel, Rarity loved it, so did Fluttershy, they met some people named the Thalmor, they asked them about themselves, they started talking about the empire, and themselves, and how they got Valenwood, but they started fibbing about how the empire hurt them and all, as they do, so the Mane 6 assumed they were telling the truth, for now the ponies are on the dominion's side. They were encouraged to visit Elsweyr, home of the Khajiit, they went to Elsweyr, they kind of interchanged between the 2, but they eventually reached Dune in Elsweyr, Fluttershy was so happy because Cat people, what's not to love? Elsweyr was a dessert region, in the north at least, they asked more and more, until they reach one called himself "M'aiq the Liar" he said this "M'aiq knows much, and tells some. M'aiq knows many things others do not" Twilight was intrigued by M'aiq, wished to know more, but they needed to leave, they got out a compass, as they wanted to go back to Valenwood, but the compass was broken, so it said west, but they were going east instead, they passed through Cyrodiil again, and into Black Marsh. "Darlings, is it just me, or is Valenwood more soggy then usual?" Said Rarity, but then, an Argonian came "This is not Valenwood, we aren't working for those dirty Thalmor, this is Argonia. Home of the Argonians." Said the Argonian, Twilight noticed the compass "Damn, well, our compass broke." Said Twilight. The swamp was scary, filled with monsters, and giant snakes, they were harder to kill then people back at High Rock or Hammerfell or Valenwood. Meanwhile, the other ponies were on their boat, they sailed to Summerset Isles, they wondered through the Isles, they encountered the Thalmor eventually. "Halt, state your business here." Said an officer "Screw off, we're trying to find our friends." Replied Derpy, The Thalmor drew his sword. "No one speaks to the Thalmor like that!" The background 6 and Starlight got ready for a fight, more came, but were all beaten by them, they escaped the Summerset Isles and ventured into Valenwood themselves... Back where the Main 6 were, they were being told the history of the Hist tree "So basically, you believe in a giant tree? That's your prophet?" Said Pinkie "Yes, it is." Replied an Argonian Hatchling, "Well, who am I to judge?" Said Pinkie, they went north into Morrowind, they weren't there long, as the Dunmer kinda forced them out, so they went into Cyrodiil, they were in Eastern Cyrodiil, and the Background 6 eventually made it to western Cyrodiil, the Mane six talked to an Imperial Officer, he told them about what the Dominion actually do, the Mane 6 were on the Legion's side now, they made their way to Skyrim, along with a Nord who had plans to go back home, they crossed the border into Skyrim, but were kinda caught and now are going to be executed...oops. > Return of Alduin and Rise of Dragonborn. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ponies and the Nord woke up... "Hey you, you're finally awake" The Ponies heard from another carriage, a man was talking to their new friend about crossing the border or something, their hooves were tied, when they arrived in Helgen, they saw someone get their head chopped off, their friend was next, but then Alduin returned! They followed the Nord and Ralof into the caves of Helgen, they got untied, same as the Nord, the ponies and Ralof with the Nord went their separate ways. They went to Riverwood to sleep at an Inn, a few days later, they hear about another Dragon, at Western Watchtower, they go to there and help out Whiterun kill it, then the Nord started Shouting "FUS RO DAH!" over and over again, the guards were calling him Dragonborn, the ponies and Nord were confused, the guard explained the Dragonborn to them, the ponies started calling him Dragonborn for now on "So what now, Dragonborn darling?" Asked Rarity "We're going to White-" Dragonborn was about to say that they're going to Whiterun, but then hears "DOVAKIN!!" He is confused and told to go to High Hrothgar, they do so. The Graybeard explains the whole Dragonborn thing, and asks why he has ponies following him around "These are my friends...I guess?" He replied, the whole training thing happens, if you want more detail just play Skyrim. He is told to get the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, he and the Mane 6 go through the caves, to find a note, telling him to go to the Sleeping Giant Inn. Meanwhile where the Background 6 are... they're in Riften, apparently, Lyra thought it was a good idea to join the Thieves Guild, now she got put jail. "Mind explaining yourself, Lyra?" Asked Doctor Whooves "I was just bored!" Said Lyra, they break Lyra out, and see The Dragonborn and Mane 6 "Ah, Twilight, everyone you're here!" Said Doctor Whooves "What are you doing here?" Asked Rainbow. "Looking for you. What are you doing?" Asked Derpy "Trying to find a blades member before the Thalmor do." Replied Pinkie "Wanna join, Darlings?" Asked Rarity. "Sure." Replied Bon Bon, they go through the Ratway and find the Blades member, Esbern. They continue to do more of the Main Quest of Skyrim, they meet the good dragon, they fight Alduin, they put a peace treaty between the Imperials and Stormcloaks, this is much different and faster as Fluttershy was cute about it, so they went "Awwww" And stopped, Ulfric Stormcloak and Titus Mede II hugged each other, more the same except extra ponies, until they reached Sovngarde... The Dragonborn meets the 3 ancient heroes, at the same time, the ponies meet their ancient ancestors, Twilight, Surprise, Firefly, The original Applejack, Posey and Sparkler, and they get ready to kill Alduin once and for all. It takes alot of magic, alot of arrows, alot of kicking, even a sonic rainboom or 2, but Dragonborn finally killed him, destroyed Alduin, and ended his threat to Tamriel and Equestria, they get back, They're all rewarded greatly, the ponies return to Equestria, but the ponies keep in contact with The Dragonborn, thanks to a call spell that Twilight created. This is where the journey ends for now...The end
