Equestria Five Years Later After the imprisonment of Clayde Reynolds, many ponies in Equestria were worried about the possibility that more humans could enter through the portal but Princess Celestia assured them that there is nothing to worry about. As the months passed, Discord escaped his prison and started reeking havoc on Equestria and started it out with a dragon attacking Ponyville. In a panicked state, Twilight Sparkle summoned the greatest hero in the universe which happened to be Peter Parker/Spider-Man from Earth 616. He managed to save Ponyville and eventually spent the next six months in Equestria preparing for Discord’s master plan. Eventually, he fell in love with Twilight Sparkle and he along with her, Princess Luna and Spike went back to Earth and stopped the Green Goblin and the rest of the Sinister Six. After a long battle, Peter managed to defeat Norman Osborn and returned to Equestria but not before Discord revealed his future plans to wreak havoc on Equestria in more worst ways. The success of Peter Parker allowed Princess Celestia to create a portal to Earth 616 and more Marvel Heroes came to Equestria as their relationships with the heroes of Earth fluctuated greatly. As time progressed, Peter and Twilight Sparkle had two foals and got married while the many other Avengers got used to the new world. Now, Peter and Twilight were in their Treehouse Home along with the rest of the Mane Six as they awaited Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Over the course of five years, the rest of the Mane Five didn’t get along with anyone considering they all had someone else in mind but he disappeared long ago. “A pretty long wait, not gonna lie.” Peter commented. “Peter, we talked about this.” Twilight chided softly while giving her husband a soft glare. “I know its just… a long wait.” Peter replied wistfully as Rarity sighed. “Darling, please.” Rarity sighed out. Aunt May trotted into the room with little Ben in her hands as she joined her nephew in the center of the room. She gave a warm smile to everypony in the room before looking at Peter and Twilight. “Even though the wait is long, it all depends on the occasion.” Aunt May said as Ben wiggled in her arms. “True.” Peter replied thoughtfully. “Well Trixie believes it is important considering the fact that Spike ran down here pretty fast the letter.” Trixie commented. “Whatever the case may be, we just gon have to wait til the Princesses get here.” Applejack said as she tipped her hat. As if on cue, a bright flash enveloped the area and revealed Princess Celestia followed by Princess Luna, Captain America and Iron Man. The ponies in the room bowed to their benevolent ruler as the Princess greeted them politely. “Greetings everypony, I hope everything is well?” Princess Celestia greeted warmly. “As well as ever, Princess.” Peter replied with a chuckle. “Well then let’s hope it stays that way because I have came up with a solution to keep it that way.” Tony Stark said with a smile as Steve Rogers looked at him unsure with this idea. “I still don’t think it is a good idea.” He said as he narrowed his eyes.  “Its for the sake of our nation Rogers.” Princess Luna assured him. “What exactly are you talking about?” Twilight asked curiously. “Tony, please explain.” Princess Celestia requested. “So I came up with an idea so that every superhero person or pony can go by without causing a major catastrophe. I made the Accords which will allow superheroes to do legal hero work and only go on missions that we assign to them.” Tony explained. “The problem with that is that it is limiting one’s freedom to do the right thing.” Steve argued. “Nooooo, it allows them to keep doing what they do without being penalized or jailed for it, this can help minimize the amount of damage that happens in Equestria.” Tony replied. “So you’re saying if we sign these Accords, we can do hero work freely?” Peter asked “Specific requirements, kid.” Tony replied. “As if we haven’t been doing that for the past five years?” Peter noted as he looked at Tony confused. “I know it may seem unfair but this provides an opportunity for even ponies to join the Elite Unit.” “So I can join?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously as she flew up in the air. “Yes if you abide by the requirements.” Tony replied. “Aw yeah! I like this idea!” Rainbow Dash cheered as she flew around excitingly. “So we have to sign these here Accords?” Applejack clarified. “You are The Elements of Harmony, with you all signed up, it will convince others that the Accords are worth trying out.” Tony nodded to the cowpony. “It may seem out of nowhere but I encourage you all to give this a try.” Princess Luna pleaded with them as she got nods from everypony which made her smile. “So what do we have to do?” Trixie asked. “We will invite everyone to Canterlot and we will make the announcement there so we can make this official.” Tony commented. “Oh we’re going back to Canterlot! I can’t wait to head back and show off my designs!” Rarity said excitingly as her eyes sparkled. Everypony rolled their eyes or chuckled at Rarity’s behaviour while Princess Celestia just gave a warm smile at the group. “Well we better get going, allow me to teleport you all there.” Princess Celestia said as she received nods in confirmation. Her horn glowed as the Mane Six, Peter, Tony, Steve and Princess Luna returned to the throne room and Tony clapped his hands eagerly. “Let’s get started then, shall we?” Tony said in a excited tone. “If it’s in order to protect Equestria than I’m in.” Peter said in a resolved tone as Rainbow Dash flew right beside him with a determined look on her face. “Don’t count me out!” She said. “ME TOO!” Pinkie Pie yelled, appearing out of nowhere between the two of them. “I will happily sign as well, darling.” Rarity said as she elegantly flipped her mane. “Well shucks, ah’m in too.” Applejack added with an honest smile. “I-I will join too.” Fluttershy shyly added. “Me too.” Twilight added with a smile. “Tony, you have to reconsider this, maybe even make adjustments to this.” Steve pleaded as Tony shook his head. “Steve please, this is the only way.” He walked off with Peter, the Mane Six, Princess Luna and reluctantly Steve as they closed the door behind them, leaving Princess Celestia in the throne room alone as she sighed sadly and looked at the setting sun. “Hopefully this is for the best.” Princess Celestia said solemnly. Two Hours Later Soon all the Marvel Heroes and ponies from all around Equestria arrived at Canterlot as they gathered before the castle as they awaited to hear what Princess Celestia has to say. Princess Luna raised the moon as it glowed in the sky and the stars shined bright in the sky. Soon after this was done, Princess Celestia walked to the podium and the crowd quieted down as they devoted their attention to her. “My little ponies, I am proud of these past five years as we united with our friends from Earth and were able to keep Equestria safe for awhile, now we are looking forward to taking the next big step… Tony, if you will.” Princess Celestia gestured to her friend. She stepped aside and Tony Stark took to the podium as he cleared his throat and spoke through the microphone. “Thank you Princess Celestia, as many of you realized, enemies have been popping up and out of nowhere and when we engaged them, it causes a mass amount of destruction that we have pour resources into and fix. Now I have came up with a potential solution that will require all of you cooperate with it, The Accords are designed for any hero to do legal work and are able to engage villains on my command.” Tony explained. There was silence in the crowd before one hero broke the silence and this was Wolverine, one of the X-Men. “Wait so ya want us to give up our freedom just to be commanded, bub?!” Wolverine yelled out in anger. “No, I will be assigning certain heroes to certain places in Equestria to patrol and keep the area safe. Tony replied calmly. “Doesn’t sound very safe, what if we don’t sign it and still do hero work?” Human Torch asked. “Then you will face dire consequences, for a long time we operated on this world without rules, we need to change that.” Tony replied seriously as the anthromorphic ponies looked at each other in worry. “What about us ponies?” A civilian asked. “You all can join The Accords and be apart of the hero faction, you will be able to train to eventually join the Avengers.” Tony spoke clearly. “Sweet!” Thunderlane said excitingly. “Interesting.” Spitfire commented. “Wait, if we are entitling humans to protect us, than why aren’t we seeing them as a potential threat to us? Wasn’t that why you killed Clayde?!” Tempest Shadow yelled in anger as she glared at the Princesses. She shouted this with anger as she was one of the ponies who advocated for Clayde and fought for him but she eventually lost and was in a ticking time bomb state. The crowd went silent as the human heroes looked around in confusion as Tony also confused along with Steve but the ponies knew exactly what she was talking about. “This is different, he was a real threat to us!” A random pony shouted. “But then again he didn’t really do anything.” Another replied thoughtfully. The crowd began arguing with each other as it soon erupted into violence which forced the heroes to swoop in and break up the fighting as Tony tried to get them to calm down. “Everyone… wait, everypony please, calm down!” Tony yelled to calm them but it did nothing. It fell on deaf ears as everypony kept fighting with one another as Tony turned to Princess Celestia. “Uh, who is this Clayde person their talking about?” Tony asked confusingly. The alicorn said nothing as she dipped her head down as a lone tear fell out of her eye which did not go unnoticed by Steve nor Tony. The Mane Six were a mixed reaction as Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity struggled to hold their tears, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were mutual but they shook their heads sadly while Twilight Sparkle wasn’t really worried at all. Princess Luna, on the other hand, had no visible reaction as she was the one who punished Clayde for his actions but deep down, she felt guilt and regret for her actions but that was buried away five years ago. “Is everything okay?” Peter asked in concern “Y-yes….it’s fine.” Princess Celestia stuttered as she wiped her tears away. Steve turned to the crowd who were spiraling out of control as the heroes tried to calm everypony down as he gazed at the crowd and narrowed his eyes. “I don’t think this ‘Clayde’ is a small problem considering the fact that everypony is fighting one another.” Steve noted. “Maybe this will help…..EVERYPONY, CALM DOWN NOW!!!” Princess Luna shouted as lightning flashed in the sky and her eyes glowed white in anger. The fighting ceased immediately as everypony looked at Princess Luna in fear as the heroes and the ponies stopped what they were doing and looked at the podium.  “Tony, please continue.” Princess Luna spoke calmly but in a stern tone. “Thanks, now as I was saying, I don’t know about this Clayde person but we can assure you that we will not become a threat to all of you.” Tony continued his speech. Half the crowd agreed with the idea but the other half didn’t as they didn’t trust these Accords, especially if it was proposed by Tony Stark. “So, who’s gonna sign?” Tony asked. Deep in the Mountains In the Mountain Ranges, many miles away from the Crystal Empire which is ruled by Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, in a deep, dark cave resides the frozen rock statue of a human with his mouth open in shock as he was in a standing position. Ice coated his limbs as it signified how long he’s been there. Clayde Reynolds has been imprisoned for five years and it wasn’t the most pleasant way to be imprisoned at all as he stood there collecting ice and dust. Little did he know, he will be freed and return to world more powerful than ever. > Chapter 2: The Rise of Something Sinister > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Couple of Days Later In Canterlot, lines formed as ponies from all over Equestria waited to excitingly sign the Accords and have a chance to be apart of the Avengers. A couple of days ago, Peter was the first to sign The Accords along with the rest of the Mane Six as Princess Celestia officially declared them in effect for the rest of the world. Now, the main leaders of The Accords were Captain America, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Mr. Fantastic, Wolverine, Black Panther and Cyclops for the humans and for the ponies it was Princess Celestia and Princess Luna until they could find more ponies to support them. Currently, Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch is signing the Accords with Tony sitting behind the front desk as he finished signing and sighed before wiping his forehead. “Sheesh, that’s a lot of writing.” Johnny groaned out in annoyance. “Its a very serious thing Johnny, this is not a game.” Tony spoke sternly. “Okay okay I get it, don’t worry about it….FLAME ON!” He bursted into his flaming form before flying off as Tony waited expectantly and like he predicted, Johnny came flying back while scratching his head awkwardly. “Um, where am I assigned to?” Johnny asked awkwardly. “Manehatten and try not to burn the place down or else…” Tony warned as he glared at him. “Right, got it!” He took off again as Tony slumped in his chair and grabbed a folder that contained all who were apart of the Avengers and hopefully he can reach a couple of them back on Earth. He turned through the many portfolios before he came across one that made him narrow his eyes. “Wanda….haven’t seen her in awhile, I wonder what she’s doing right now.” Meanwhile In the cave that held Clayde’s statue, a portal opened and it was tinted green as a cloaked figure stepped through it calmly and inspected the cave. “Hmph.” He then rested his eyes on Clayde’s statue before raising his hand and it glowed green as he soaked in the information he was receiving from the statue. When he finally found what he was looking for, he smirked as he approached the statue. “Such a worthy being, full of vengeance and hate for this world, allow me to grant you the power you desire.” He rested a hand on Clayde’s rock face as he scoured his features took in his crusted appearance before he stepped back and raised his hands before murmuring an incantation as his hands glowed golden. From the magical aura radiating from his hands, the aura formed into a floating stream of golden liquid as it floated in the air and radiated unimaginable power. The hooded being moved his hands forward and the stream of golden liquid flowed into Clayde’s frozen opened mouth as the liquid disappeared down his gullet but nothing happened at all as the sorcerer panted. “Perfect… now you will rise and do as you see fit until the time comes for you to return the favor, now to awaken you… wait.” He sensed four powerful deities coming his way as he cursed silently, they must have sensed his presence when he entered this realm but suddenly a bright idea entered his head as he looked at Clayde. “Let them greet you properly, maybe that will release you….Farewell and Good Luck, Clayde Reynolds.” He jumped through a portal he made an disappeared into the depths of the universes to hopefully put enough distance between him and the Earth he came from, he had to get back to his mistress, yes, but first he had to loose his chasers. Location: Earth 616 In an abandoned power plant in Germany, explosions boomed into existence as flashes of red and green magic flared into the atmosphere as the Scarlet Witch crashed into an empty tank and floated back to the ground as she shook off the blow and her hands glowed red with Chaos Magic. A green beam of magic shot towards her but she managed to throw up a shield as the attack slammed into shield but didn’t break it as the attack persisted on. “Such a pitiful attempt darling.” Enchantress spoke seductively. Her hands were firing an intense green beam of magic as Wanda teleported away and appeared behind her but Enchantress flicked her hand and the witch was encased in a green magic ball as she tried to blast her way out but to no use. “Just succumb to me dear, is it really that hard?” “What game are you playing?!” Wanda yelled in anger. “Oh I have many plans, but this one will be the one that will succeed and you won’t be there to stop me.” Enchantress replied. Wanda yelled in rage as the magical force field broke around her and she mimicked a grabbing motion with her hand and Amora found herself in a giant red hand before slammed into the ground repeatedly and thrown outside the factory through the wall. Amora growled as she saw Wanda floating towards her as her body glowed with green magic before she released in a powerful impulse which sent magical spears flying all over the area. Wanda flew towards her while dodging the spears but one caught her in the chest and dissipated as her chaos magic protected her from the potential fatal wound but the pain still went through and she tumbled to the ground but luckily she got back up and threw up a red shield infront of her to block the onslaught. Amora stopped her assault before summoning two giant snakes and they came hissing towards Wanda but she grabbed them with her magic and crushed them into dust. Enchantress charged forward and delivered a uppercut to Wanda’s chin before resting both of her hands onto the sides of her head and pushed her power into her mind. All signs of restraint stopped as Wanda’s mind went blank as Enchantress scrambled her mind and slowly started to bend the Witch to her control. “That’s it my love, yield to me.” Enchantress cooed out. Before the spell could fully take effect, a magical whip wrapped around her neck before it yanked her away and sent her toppling into a truck. Scarlet Witch shook her head and blinked as she saw Doctor Strange in front of her as his cape blowed in the wind. ​​ “Focus Wanda, focus, don’t let her take control of you.” Doctor Strange warned Wanda as he looked at the asgradian sorceress. Enchantress screamed in rage as she shot three giant green orbs that swirled and made their way towards the pair as Strange summoned a Crimson Circle on each of his hands before swinging them like a discus and it ricocheted off of the three orbs and cancelled them out. Summoning two more Crimson Circles, Doctor Strange slammed them into the ground and it created a whip of lightning that crackled through the ground as it zipped towards Amora. Enchantress smirked before encoating her hand in Asgardian magic before using her powerful strength and slamming her fist into the oncoming bolts of lightning and disabled the spell completely. “Pathetic.” Enchantress spat out. Picking up a rock, she prepared to throw it but Wanda grabbed her with her magic and held her still as the two sorcerors approached the struggling Asgardian. “This has gone on long enough, Amora.” Doctor Strange said calmly. “I was just getting started.” Amora replied. “But we finished it.” Wanda said dangerously. “Now… where is it?” Doctor Strange asked. “Where is what?” Amora replied in fake innocence. “Don’t play dumb, where is the Golden Sentry Serum?” Doctor Strange pressed as Amora laughed evilly. “Ah yes, that precious bottle.” “Where is it?!” Wanda demanded as Amora looked at her. “So impatient, such rage and aggression, I wonder why you haven’t fallen to the Dark Hold already?” Wanda clenched her outstretched hand into a fist and Amora gritted her teeth as the chaos magic squeezed her painfully before it became unbearable and she screamed in pain. “Wanda, stop!” Doctor Strange yelled out. She turned her head towards him and her eyes glowed red with rage before she used her other hand and shot Strange square in the chest with her chaos magic before grabbing his throat with her magic. “No one tells me what to do!!!” She flung him away before turning back to Enchantress who smirked at her aggression and licked her lips. “So dominant, so much power~” Enchantress said seductively. “WHERE IS IT?!” Wanda practically screamed out in anger as her eyes glowed red with chaos magic. “Oh not here at all, not in this world… somewhere where you can’t get it.” Amora smirked as she saw Wanda’s Wanda lost her focus for a second as her rage took hold and in that split second, Amora used her magic and broke out of the hold before teleporting away which made Wanda infuriated. The Scarlet Witch was panting with rage as she heard a sound to left and she looked to see Strange floating in the air and she sent magic beam towards him but he deflected it sent a magical whip to wrap around her wrist and fling her to the ground. “Your ambitions are getting out of control, Wanda, you have to accept th-” Wanda radiated Chaos Magic and like an impulse grenade she released it all out in one infuriating scream as Doctor Strange bursted into pieces along with the rest of the abandoned power plant. In the crater of it all, Wanda glared at where Strange was and snarled at where he was obliterated. “Of course it was a illusion.” She growled out. She looked around at the destruction she caused before she closed her eyes and tried to track down the serum but couldn’t sense anywhere on Earth which meant Amora could have the serum teleported anywhere in the universe. “Fine then, we play it the long way.” Wanda said darkly. She glowed red before she disappeared and left the area completely to return to her hideout in the mountains. Meanwhile Sanctum Sanctorum Doctor Strange was floating in a meditative position as he was controlling his clone in Germany before it was destroyed in the explosion as he opened his eyes and stepped out of his meditative state. “Wanda has gone too far now, if she gets her hands on the serum, it could mean the end of reality.” Doctor Strange mumbled worriedly. He walked towards his window and began thinking where Amora could’ve sent the serum or more importantly, why didn’t she take it for herself? “I must consult with Wong about this, maybe he knows some locations where it could be.” Stephen said determined. He walked away from the window and little did he know, a chaotic deity was watching him closely. Equestria, Tartarus The Green Goblin opened his eyes and found that he was still in his goblin outfit and was on his glider as he shook himself out of his trance and looked around. “This isn’t New York City, where the hell am I?” Goblin said confused as he looked around. He floated around before he instinctively put his hands to chest where Twilight Sparkle stabbed him with a sword and it killed him, he shouldn’t be alive so how was he? “Allow me to answer that question.” A voice said creepily. “Discord, eh? How are you even here right now?” Goblin chuckled out darkly. Discord snapped his fingers and the two of them found themselves in the battle of New York City, five years ago, where Goblin saw he was in his monstrous state fighting Black Cat, Spider-Man, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Luna and Spike. “You did good but in the end it wasn’t enough, even with my power.” Discord said. “How am I still here?” Goblin asked. “I saved your life, you want another chance to finish the job?” Discord asked rhetorically as he grinned darkly. Goblin started cackling loudly and darkly before grinned psychotically at the draconequus of chaos. “Oh definitely!” Discord snapped his fingers again and they found themselves in Tartarus again as they looked at each and Discord turned towards the camera and grinned darkly. “Then let the games begin.” > Chapter 3: Assembling the Accords > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Day Later In Canterlot, Princess Celestia was looking out the window as she rose the sun and gazed out at the kingdom as the sun’s rays shined on the shiny rooftops. Her mind pondered to the moment Tempest Shadow spoke about the problem they had with Clayde Reynolds five years ago. She sighed as she looked at her throne before her eyes rested on the stained glass windows revealing multiple events that were recorded in the past couple of years. “Was it the right choice?” Princess Celestia asked herself. She pondered to herself as she walked down the throne room before entering the newly built meeting room that has been designed for the Avengers and Equestrians. In the seats sat Captain America, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Mr Fantastic, Black Panther and Namor while for the Equestrian side was Princess Luna, Princess Twilight, Princess Cadance and lastly, herself, Princess Celestia. “Princess.” Captain America greeted her. He acknowledged her presence as she walked into the room and sat on her throne as she acknowledged the rest of the heroes and her fellow princesses before the meeting had begun to discuss the Accords. “I would like to thank you all for attending this important meeting.” Princess Celestia thanked everyone in the room. “Don’t worry Auntie, its not much of a bother although I am curious to see what this meeting is for.” Princess Cadence said curiously. “It’s for the betterment of both our worlds, Princess.” Captain Marvel said seriously. “Tony, if you would.” Captain Marvel gestured to Tony. “Okay, now I have been on Equestria for the past four years and I have to say, we do a good job saving the day and catching the villains but…. At the cost of many things. Property damage is one major problem that we cause as we have our powerhouse heroes marching in on little issues and causing more damage that should even be necessary which decreases trust from the locals we protect.” Tony explained. “But how does that make the world a better place? It only divides us.” Steve argued. “That may be the case but it will allow us to manage where everyone goes and who is responsible for their actions. For example, we don’t need the Hulk to destroy an entire building to stop a robbery, we need heroes like Nightcrawler or Daredevil to do that job. It will allow us to decide where the proper heroes should patrol and which powerhouses should patrol where to avoid mass destruction.” Tony elaborated as some people nodded their heads in agreement. “I must agree with the soldier, it will only prevent us from doing our job if we have to.” Namor spoke deeply. “That’s where the signing part comes into play, once this goes into law, everyone who wants to do hero work must come here to this very room and sign. Once they sign, they’ll be allowed to do hero work wherever we assign them and as a bonus, we’ll have a list as to where we assign everyone to help keep track.” Tony continued. “But won’t that restrain the Elements of Harmony?” Twilight questioned worriedly. “Another thing that I wanted to say is that the Accords are divided into multiple subsections of laws like the Constitution. There will be exceptions like the Elements of Harmony but for everyone else, they will have to abide by the main rule.” Tony assured her. “So everypony will be able to minimize the damage they do with their actions?” Princess Luna clarified. “It will make them do all they can to avoid having to deal with us.” Tony replied. “You’re basically making everyone in this room the ventriloquists while everyone else is the dummies that we control, honestly Tony, we don’t need to be restrained.” Steve maintained his point. “Captain Rogers, I do respect you, I really do but the last couple of simple missions that happened on Earth don’t necessary tend to go simple. Take Ultron, for instance, I wasn’t put in check and I didn’t listen to the risks and that costed many lives in Sokovia. I will not let that happen in this world again…. Never again.” Tony said seriously as he remembered the damage he caused in Sokovia. “He’s right, after Ultron, the world started to lose their trust in the Avengers and eventually the government stepped into detain us. We don’t want that here, we want everyone to be under the same rule and there will be no excuses, even royalty can’t wiggle their way out of this.” Captain Marvel agreed with Tony as he nodded her head at her. “I see.” T’Challa said. ​​ “Will my people be able to be treated right with this ruling, Stark?” T’Challa asked seriously. “Yes.” “What about if there are unregistered heroes in a town that’s getting attacked? They have to sign the Accords in order to interfere?” Princess Celestia asked curiously. “That’s why I want them to sign now and not later, hopefully when this goes into effect many ponies and heroes will sign it immediately to avoid the consequences.” Tony replied. “Once this goes into effect, how many Kingdoms have agreed to this?” Princess Cadence asked. “According to the file, Equestria, The Crystal Empire, Yakyakistan, Seaquestria and The Dragon Lands have signed so far.” Twilight reported. “And the others?” Tony asked. “Still deciding.” “All the more reason to put this into effect, without it, we won’t be able to protect them effectively.” Tony elaborated. “Princess Celestia’s question still hasn’t been answered, what if some heroes or ponies don’t want to sign and they still do hero work.” Steve said as he looked at Tony, awaiting an answer but Princess Luna gave one for him. “Then they go to the dungeons.” “What?!” Princess Cadence said in shock. “If this is going to work then we will need dire consequences to those who break the rules. One mistake can cost dozens of lives Cadance, you must understand that.” Princess Luna said sternly as she looked at her niece. “What if that mistake doesn’t cost lives or damage or anything, than what?” Princess Cadence asked. “They still go to the dungeons.” Princess Luna maintained. “That doesn’t seem to be… lawful as people put it.” T’Challa said worriedly. “Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.” Namor replied as the Wakandan looked at him sternly. “Really? It seems that you went through the same thing when you tried to invade my kingdom.” “That was for the survival of my people.” “I vote that we sign the Accords.” Tony said. He then took a pen and signed his signature on the document before handing the pen over to Captain Marvel who also signed, then Princess Luna, then Princess Twilight, then Black Panther, then Namor, Mr Fantastic was not here so he would sign later, Captain America was reluctant at first but then after a nod from Tony….he signed as well. All that was left was Princess Celestia and she has to sign it in order for it to become a law in Equestria. “All that’s left is for you to sign, Princess Celestia.” Tony said anxiously. He pushed the documents toward as she stared at it, pondering on the benefits and the consequences of signing this document into effect. If she wanted the world to be safe, she needed to take precautions and in the way she sees it, the benefits outweigh the consequences right now. She took the pen and signed her name before giving a gentle smile to Tony who was also smirking. “I hope you know what you are doing Tony, please don’t make me regret this.” “Don’t worry, you won’t.” Princess Celestia got up and walked out of the room followed by the rest of the Princesses as they made their way to the podium outside where many ponies and heroes were waiting to see the status of the Accords. “I am happy to announce that the Accords is in effect and I encourage all of you to take part in it.” Everypony cheered while some of the heroes clapped as well while there were some who didn’t like this at all. Peter trotted behind Twilight which drew her attention to him and she beamed before giving him a quick kiss. “We did it.” Twilight said happily. “Yeah, I can see that, I guess the real work starts now huh?” Peter said as his wife chuckled. “Yeah, it does.” Meanwhile Green Goblin was making modifications to his armor and his glider until a portal opened behind him and Discord stepped through it with some more technological equipment floating behind him. “What the hell is that?” “Oh nothing, just some old Stark equipment that I found to help kill our enemies more easier.” Discord said as he can just imagine the amount of chaos this will ensue. “Perfect, hehehehehe.” Osborn laughed out. He looked at the equipment and saw that there were multiple arc reactors, missiles, impulse bombs, grenades and other high tech equipment. “Oh and I also brought in a familiar face that you may recognise.” Discord said as he gestured to the darkness. Four giant mechanical tentacles came into view as a floating figure entered Goblin’s vision and it made the psycho widened his eyes. “Octavius?” “Now, we’ll see who’s the boss.” > Chapter 4: Awakening The Almighty Sentry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Mountains An army was on the move as four armies that consisted of shadow ponies, made from darkness and fear. The four massive groups consisted of one hundred ponies each as the group on the left wore black and silver armour with green glowing eye sockets as green steam flowed out of there eyes as they wielded black spears with red blades. The second group wore bright orange and yellow armor with a sun on the chestplate of each of their chests. Each of them radiated heat off of the metal as its golden color shined in the sun as they marched towards their destination with golden dual axes in each of their hands. The third group was consisted of dark blue and black armour and had glowing white eyes to go along with their dark blue magical helmet. Their hands glowed blue with energy as they marched through the snowy terrain with their comrades. The final group were consisted gel like armour as the army wore grey armour and wielded crossbows in their hands as flew a little off of the ground as they floated along with their comrades. They were being led by four leaders of each group of the army as they lead the long walk to their destination. Leading the fiery soldiers of the army was Princess Celestia’s counterpart, Daybreaker who melted the snow with her aura as she trudged forward. Leading the army with dark blue and black armour was Princess Luna’s counterpart, Nightmare Moon who’s light blue eyes pierced through the snowy weather of the mountains. Leading the army consisted of gel like warriors was the enemy of Canterlot and the Queen of the Changelings, Queen Chrysalis. Finally, leading the shadow ponies made of fear and darkness was the leader who provided the soldiers to her fellow comrades and was the enemy of Princess Cadence, Shining Armor and the Crystal Empire, Queen Umbra. All four of these villainesses were fueled by their thirst for vengeance on the Princesses, The Mane Six and the Marvel Heroes that had made them lost everything but first, they picked up a powerful energy signature from the mountains and were heading there to check it out. “Huh, these stupid mountains and there hideous snow deposits!” Daybreaker cursed out. “Easy sister, we’re almost there to that delicious power source.” Nightmare Moon said as she looked ahead. “Somepony was hopping through dimensions and sadly ended up here, hopefully they will provide some sort of use for us.” Queen Umbra said. “They better be, I’m freezing my limbs out here!” Queen Chrysalis yelled out as she shivered a bit. “If this power is useful, it will make the invasion of Canterlot soooo much easier, hehehe.” Daybreaker said as she licked her lips. The four villainesses led their armies to the top of the highest mountain in the region before they each felt a powerful presence on the top of the mountain which made the armies halt as their leaders looked up and then looked at each other. “Did you feel that?” Queen Chrysalis asked as she widened her eyes. “Fucking obviously.” Nightmare Moon said sarcastically. “No, did you feel the amount of power?!” “I felt it, whatever’s up there… needs to belong to us.” Daybreaker said as she felt the power surge and it felt… intriguing. “Teleport up there.” Nightmare Moon ordered. “No need to waste our magic here, walk it… its not that far.” Queen Umbra said. Slowly, they made their way up the slope with their armies right behind them as they approached the top of the mountain and saw the entrance to a massive cave entrance as the snow hammered down on the entrance but Daybreaker blasted fire from her palms and it melted away instantaneously as they entered the cave with their armies waiting outside. “There is ancient magic in this chamber, vaguely familiar.” Queen Umbra said as she felt the magic signatures. “Oh oh oh, I sense Celestia’s magic in these walls… she sealed something or someone away from the world.” Daybreaker giddily said as she recognized her counterparts magic. “Well then, it must be something powerful.” Nightmare Moon deduced. “We’re getting closer to the source of this thing.” Queen Chrysalis reported. They continued deeper into the cave as they looked around and saw that the magical aura was getting thicker and thicker until they finally came across the stone statue of Clayde Reynolds as Nightmare Moon snarled in anger. “Its coming from this puny human! Stupid specimens!” “How does he have this level of magic radiating from him?!” Daybreaker yelled in anger. “Well then, we could gain another ally.” Queen Umbra proposed as Daybreaker glared at her. “I’ve visited Earth and those humans are nothing but a bunch of ants that can easily be squished, let’s extract the power from him!” “I can sense it…it’s extraordinary!” Queen Chrysalis awed. “Beneficial to our purpose, now let’s extract it!” Daybreaker ordered. The four villainesses surrounded the statue before their horns began to glow in there respective colors of yellow, light blue, purple and green they each released a beam that swirled in a circle that connected all four of them in a magic circle before it began to surround Clayde’s statue as the beams surrounded his body before it entered his mouth and began to make its way to his heart and the magical beams connected with its target. “Now pull!” Queen Umbra yelled out. The four of them began to concentrate on sucking the power of the statue as the beam became white as no other color was flowing through the beam like a suction pipe. They poured more magic into the beam to suck the power out but nothing came out. Clayde’s stone chest began to glow golden as the goddesses poured more magic into him as the glow began to get brighter and brighter as the stone began to crack and chip away. “CANCEL THE SPELL!!!” Queen Chrysalis yelled out. “Its not working!!!” Daybreaker yelled. “Watch ou-!!!” Queen Umbra yelled out but it was too late. The golden brightness suddenly exploded out and blinded everyone on the mountain as the explosion covered the entire of planet of Equestria as everypony and every hero shielded their eyes as the universe was enveloped in a golden flash. The explosion tore a hole between universes as a bright hole appeared in the multiverse as overwhelming power made everyone on any planet within the vicinity go on their knees from the sheer amount of power crushing and forcing them to their knees. The power of a million exploding suns brightened the darkest corners of the multiverse as magicians in every universe felt the power overloading their senses. After about twenty seconds of intense light, the golden flash withdrew like it was sucked in and went back into the cave. The armies recovered before charging into the cave to save their leaders but they saw that they were perfectly fine as the rubbed their eyes to get the light out of their vision. “What the hell was that?!” Daybreaker yelled out angrily. “That power was beyond anything I’ve ever seen.” Nightmare Moon said in shock. “Um, girls?” Queen Umbra said quietly. “What?” All three of them replied. “Look.” They turned to see that Clayde’s statue was broken to bits and pieces and a man was in a crouching position with his back turned towards them. A blue cape was seen and the man had golden hair but other than that, not much could be seen. “You there, human!” Daybreaker ordered loudly as she got to her feet. The man did not acknowledge her but he just remained exactly where he was as the alicorn gritted her teeth. Before she could do something drastic, Umbra grabbed her arm in warning as her eyes spelled fear. “Don’t… he is someone that we cannot win with violence.” “Get off me! I command you to surrender your power to us, your superiors!” Daybreaker shoved Umbra off of her as she yelled at the man. The man still didn’t do anything but remain in the same position before the fire alicorn nodded to her general to step forward and issue a warning. The general was in a heavy golden armour with an enormous axes in both of his hands. “This is your last chance, human! Obey our Queen or be executed and we will extract the power from your dead body!” The General warned him. Nothing happened as the General turned to Daybreaker for permission and she nodded as the General walked towards the man and pressed the axes together to form a bigger, heavier and sharper axe as he raised it above his head easily to decapitate the man. “Death is your wish? Then allow me to grant it!” He brought the axe down and as soon as the blade touched the back of the man’s neck, the blade broke like glass as its shards turned to dust. Everypony was in shock but not as shocked as the General as the man remained unmoved but when the axe broke to pieces at his feet, he stood up slowly to a towering 6’5ft before he turned around to reveal his muscular physique with a glowing S on his belt and his glowing yellow eyes. He glared at the group infront of him with pure hatred as he remained still with his fists clenched as the General approached him and drew a fiery knife from his back belt. “Die!!!” He went for a stab but faster than the blink of an eye, the Golden Crusader grabbed his throat and applied an astounding force to it which made the general drop his knife and struggled for breath as he lifted him up without trouble before making him look into his golden glowing eyes. “W-Wh-o a-re y-you?” The General choked out fearfully. “I….am….The Sentry.” He grabbed the General’s hip before he ripped him apart as blood splurted all over the ground as the armor splitted apart like it was tinfoil. The General’s decapitated head was in his right hand as his other hand dropped the ripped corpse and dropped it to the cave floor. The Sentry glared at the decapitated head before tossing it aside and glaring at the armies infront of him and more importantly the four villainesses in front of them as his muscles contracted and swelled as he cracked his neck and rose into the air, ready to kill them all.
