> Random Invation > by discordjediknight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 The woods > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "As the wind blew past the trees, and the littlest ponies sat trapped in the middle of the woods, something began to hunt them. Something that was tiny green and from the sky above. As the little fillies hid, whatever was following them stopped just In front of them. Whatever it was they could make out no detail, and did have time to as a bright light shined over the little ponies, they tried to scream but could make no sound as the little ponies disappeared, into the night sky, they were captured by, aliens!!!!"Shouted a very excited pink pony with curly pink hair. "PINKY!!!" The crowd shouted at her. "What?" She whined a bit. "Pinky with all due respect aliens are not real." Twilight deadpanned. "Ugh, you guys just wait, just wait, till you all get abducted you'll see then," Pinky grumbled. "Well, there's an hour we're not gonna get back." A light blue pony with a rainbow mane put in her two senses. A pony then slammed down his hoof. He was a light brown pony with his mane and tail smoothly brushed, and three bags of money on his flank. "Can we please get back to looking for my daughter, I've had enough of fooling around." "Mr. Rich is right, we must find those two and fast." A white pony with a swirl of dark purple main commented. "Yes Rarity, we just have to track the steps". The alicorn with the most authority in the room told them. "If that's the case, Rarity, get out your gear, your a great detective." "Thank you, Dash, but finding out who framed you is a little different from some pony gone missing." Rarity pointed out. "Speaking of missing has anyone seen Applejack? She should be a part of this conversation." "Haven't seen her since this morning when she and I were bucking apples." Said a deep country voice, it came from a big red stallion known as Big Mac, AJs brother. "Wait so she's missing too. How many others are missing here?" Dash asked. "Hmm, maybe it is a good idea to start searching for her two." Rarity said her thoughts titled. Suddenly a door busted open, "twilight!!!" Called out Starlight Glimmer. "What, what is it?" Asked the violet Alicorn. Starlight glimmer caught her breath for a moment. She breathed in and out heavily before she spoke again. "I just ran here from the school. Thire missing!!! Every one of them!!! And I can't find Trixie anywhere!" Pinky gasped horrified. "The aliens have taken them." At the sound of this, everyone rolled their eyes. Except Starlight who only raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What is she talking about?" "No, no I am not listing to a whole nother hour of Pinky's alien story, good by." Dash flew out the window. "I'm not making this up, we live in a world with magic, griffins, whatever discord is, and talking ponies, and aliens is really where you draw the line!" Pinky asked angrily. Twilight turned to Starlight with a sigh. "Let's start looking. Rarity go to Flutershys and make sure the CMC, spike, and my nease are safe. I'm going to join up with Cadence on the search for a silver spoon and diamond, the rest of you start searching for everyone else in school, will you?" "Sure thing, they answered back. As the morning sun rose it shines into the little cottage, its light shining over the 3 little bumps in the guest room bed. With a mighty yawn, one of them rolled over onto of the other, waking that one up. "Hay I can't uh." The orange pegasus struggles out from under one of her friends and popped up as the sound of a rooster called her, and the others awake. A white unicorn got the worst of it since she fell out of bed with a big thump as she came to. "Owe... Morning guys." Said the white unicorn, her main and tail a complete mess but was a swirl of purple and pink. "Yawn... Morning sweetie Bell." Said the pegasus, she then taped on the shoulder of the third bump on the bed, who nearly choked her to death. "Apple Bloom, apple Bloom wake up!!!" Shouted the pegusus. "Huh, what," she said as she was spooked awake. "Oh hi," she yawned "Where are we?" "Don't you remember, were at Flutershys because of what happened the other night?" "Na uh not till my, morning coffee." She said laying her head back down on the pillow. "Well, one thing is for sure." Sweetie Bell stood up. "Oh, what's that?" Scootlot asked. "We're too big to sleep together in that bed like when we were little." Just then the bed legs broke. "Huh, I see your point". Scootlot commented as she got off of it. Just then there was a knock on the door. "Girls, are you awake?" Asked a familiar male voice. "Yeah, spike come on in." Spike opened the door, revealing himself to be a tall skinny dragon with wings, a long side of him securing around was a five-year-old Alicorn. "Now, tell me again what exactly happened on your trip," the dragon questioned. Nope, not until I get my coffee." Said apple Bloom who wobbled out of the room to fetch herself the morning Joe. "We told you spike, for Diamond Tiara's 15 birthday we all went camping in the woods. Us, Tiara, and Silver Spoon." Scootaloo began. "That was until Apple Bloom started telling her silly ghost stories and scared everyone out of their minds." Laughed sweetie bell. "And then what happened," asked Spike narrowing his eyes. "She ran off into the woods..." "We all had a good laugh at first but she never came back after that. We searched and searched but finally, we had to come home and report her missing." "It's been almost three days since she disappeared." Apple Bloom mutter as she turned on the coffee machine. Spike leaned over to sweetie Bell and asked, "Since when does she drink coffee she's only 15." "Since she was 13 it's been a while since we've all been together actually how are you doing?" Asked sweetie Bell. "I'd be doing a lot better if I wasn't called in the middle of the night to get on a train from Canterlot to here." "Heh well you know Mr Rich, hell do anything if it's his daughter." "Yeah well coming straight to the capital of Equestria demanding Twilight help over a missing pony in the middle of the night. I think is a little excessive." Spike deadpanned. "especially during a conference of peace between all the nations of Equestria, Preparing for the arrival of a new nation." He rolled his eyes. oh, whos the new nation, asked sweetie Bell, spike shrugged, apparently, Discord of all ponies talked one of his bizarre friends into joining. you remember the smooes right, it's his people. " "The smooes, she asked trying to remember, oh you mean that weird slime creature that ruined the Galla a couple of years back?" "yep, that's the one," Scootaloo started playing with the young filly flurry heart in the background, just as Fluttershy walked into the room with a yawn, her hair a pink mess but she smiled softly. "Good morning you guys. "She then saw the bed, "Oh my." Her eyes widen. "Sorry about the bed Fluttershy will fix it," Scootaloo told her. Fluttershy smiled at them just as a knock came on the door. "I'll get it." Spike sighed as he opened it, to his surprise no one was at the door at first, then in a flash of pink something nearly attacked him "Aliens!!!" Shouted Pinky, who stood catching her breath. "Hi Pinky have you found them yet," Fluttershy asked with hope in her voice. "Nope," she said cheerfully. "I did find more proof of aliens. There's a huge crop circle in the Apple's corn field. She smiled and then her expression grew serious. "We have to stock up on weapons and defensives and take down the aliens once and for all." They all looked at her with a look of confusion and concern but shrugged it off as Pinky just being Pinky. "I'm here to get Rarity to make some cool sci-fi, defense suits." Sweetie Bell raised an eyebrow at that. "My sister's not here." "Oh yes she is, she was sent here last night to check up on you guys." Sweetie Bell shook her head. Pinky gasped, "She's been taken by the aliens. Come on we got to go."She grabbed their hoves and pulled them along. "Turns out most of Starlight's class was captured too well have to be swift if we're..." "PINKY!!!" They all shouted at her. "What," she whined. "Uh, is it just me or is it quiet?" Asked Spike. "Too quiet," Pinky narrowed her eyes. "Ok, Apple Bloom makes sure she doesn't get any of that coffee. Spike smirked. To which Apple Bloom's only response was to nod and finish off her morning joe. "Seriously tho, where is everyone?" Asked Sweetie Bell. They stood in the middle of the empty town. Not a pony in sight, not a bird nor even a squirrel in the trees. Fluttershy scratched her head as they wondered where everyone could have gone. "The aliens took them!!!" Shouted Pinky, causing the rest of them to roll their eyes. "Pinky do you know where mommy went?" Asked the tiny one of the group. "Hmm oh yeah she went in the woods searching for the missing ponies, probably battling off the alien invasion with her super cool unicorn powers." "Pinky!" They shouted as Fluttershy picked up Flurryheart and began rocking her back and forth. "Oh now I think your mommy is gonna be just fine." Blast!!! A ray of magic came from the alicorn's horn creating a crystal barrier. That won't hold them for long, Cadence declared. Twilight was behind her freaking out. She grinned crazily as she began to laugh.." haha aliens, aliens are real. Hahaha. Aliens, Pinky was right, Pinky was right.!" "Snap out of it already," Dash slapped her friend in the face. "Thanks for that". Twilight replied annoyed as she rubbed her face. "No problem, but we gotta get out of here!!!" Shouted Dash. Suddenly a blast of magic blew up the crystal barrier revealing several ponies all standing before them. Down in the front stood Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara dressed in green suits, their faces with a dead expression on them. On top of their heads, a strange mechanical device ith anytime on them. Weird tubes went down their ear canals as something green was being pumped into their skulls Behind those two were, Bonbon, Granny Smith, Big Mac, and many more. "Run!!! Shouted Starlight." They all took off in the opposite direction as they approached the old cattle of the two sisters. Meanwhile. Pinky and the gain ran into the forest as fast as their hooves could carry them, while she explained her whole story. "And so at the end of it, a spaceship landed right in front of us, both diamond and silver spoon walked out looking all funny and told us we were to be sacrificed to the god poultry, then they tried to capture us, luckily we had two alicorns and the most powerful unicorn, together with their mighty powers they ran to fight another day..." "Uh, yeah Pinky but um where do you fit into all of that?" Asked Scootaloo. "Oh, I wasn't there, silly." The others raised an eyebrow at this, but before they could even act, they heard a loud moan. "Did you hear that," Sweetie Bell asked "Yeah sounds like someone's hurt," Apple Bloom announced as they took off in that direction. They soon stumbled upon an orange dragon. Who moaned once again in pain as she began to move. "Smolder!?" Spike called out. "Smolder what happened to you?" "Hmm, oh hi Spike. CMC." She rubbed her head. "They were attacked last night by the aliens," Pinky confirmed. "Uh, how did you know that?" Asked sweetie Bell. "Well duh, isn't it obvious?" Spike rolled his eyes. "Oh, Smolder come on well get you back to town and look over your wounds," Fluttershy said sweetly. "No, no time,e my friends, there, they were already taken, we have to hurry, before," Smolder got up despite the pain in her body. "Something bad happens to them." "You're not going anywhere in that condition," Fluttershy scolded. "Come on well fix you right up..." Just then they heard a mighty scream coming from deeper into the forest. Smolder didn't hesitate and ran in its imidate direction. "Oh, come on!?" Complained Spike before they all took off after the sound. "Aliens, I can't believe we're being invaded by aliens," Twilight said still shaking her head. Just then they came to an abrupt halt falling to the ground, they looked up at whatever they jumped into, and to their surprise bulk biceps were standing before them, his mind controlled by the machine on his head. He quickly grabbed Twilight and Dash. Standing there blocking the way of Cadence, as she was being cornered by the enemy cadence thought surely this would be it, surely she would be Captured too when suddenly a yak came smashing in, pushing aside the other mind-controlled ponies alongside her on her back was a blue griffon who swiped at them with his punches. "Winona, gallus," said Cadence confused. "Sorry no time to explain just run," Gallus told her before Gallus had his foot stepped on, he screamed out at the top of his lungs, a very girly scream. Cadence used her magic to blast the pony who stepped on galluses foot away freeing him. "Uh, can we forget I just screamed like a girl?" He asked nervously. The two girls chuckled at that, planning never to let him hear the end of it. But their moment of humor was short-lived, as a spaceship descended above them, as it opened up its door they saw the other class members all mind controlled. They slowly came down about to grab the three when suddenly Pinky came swinging in on a vine nocking out a griffin who was about to grab Gallus. "Pinky where'd you come from?" Asked cadence. "Oh, I went to go get some backup. And back up I did get," she said pointing at the others. Cadence, Glimmer, Yona, and Gallus smiled at them but were cut off by their friends crying for help. They were being lifted by a beam of light held by bulk biceps, as they struggled a group of robotic arms came down holding them in place as they were forced into strange green suits. Everyone watched helplessly as strange devices were strapped to their heads. Dash and Twilight struggled to get loose but as the helmet turned on a green substance filled the tubes entering their ear canals. Within seconds their eyes widen, as they went limp. A vacant expression filled their faces. The arms let them go but the light beamed them up. "Ahh the alien's mind control device got them," Pinky shouted. They all wanted to question how Pinky knew any of this but now was not the time. "Come on we have to let the other governments of the friendship alliance know we've been invaded." Shouted glimmer. They all nodded as they took off for safety. > Chapter 2 Invaders > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gilda, the leader of the griffins followed by her predecessor, now advisor grandpa gruff at a large table with a very annoyed look on her face, as did her adviser. She roped her eyes and set her claws over her ears as she grew more and more frustrated with the sounds of bickering in the background. Finally, her anger began to boil over as she cried out, "All of you shut up." The others in the room turned their heads to the Griffin party. With a roll of the head, Thorax began, "Look all I am saying is that it is not the changeling's fault. We've been part of the friendship alliance ever since it started, why would we start a war now?" He held up his legs in question. "So you could take over yaks' precious resources, yak know, never to trust a changeling." Prince Rutherford huffed. "These three problems with your theory," Thorax replied, "one, if the changelings did attack, we would send in us as replacements until we got close enough to take you out, and two, were missing our own people, and three, there is nothing we could want from the yaks." "Ha, Lkly story, changelings want yak snow." He argued. Thorax sighed his frustration setting his head on his hoof. The dragon Queen set a claw on her friend's shoulder in a comforting way before she spoke out," I ember, queen of the dragons vouch for him and his people, if he says they didn't do it then he didn't do it." She bared her teeth. "Oh, of course, you would vouch for them, dragons are just like the changelings, I bet you even allied with them," said the king of the hippogriffs and sea ponies. "Got a problem beaky," Ember called him out. "Dragons for centuries have been known for their violent acts and hoarding, I bet one of you is responsible for hoarding the missing." "I'll have you know some of our own have gone missing too, in fact, the only ones who haven't had any go missing here are them," Ember pointed an accusing claw at the kirin, the Queen who's been quiet this entire time. "I SAID, NOCK IT OFF!!!" Shouted Gilda, "Uh where are those rainbow color ponies when you need them? We were supposed to be inviting a new species to the friendship alliance, not on the brink of war, we all know that none of us would attack the other because, were all sick of fighting, hell I'm sick of fighting now." She laid back in her chair annoyed. Say what you want about the griffins and of Gilda, but the years have shown how she became a wise leader, even if she has quite the temper, and lack of patients. "Yes where are our pony friends," said the buffalo chief. Just then the doors slammed open and to their surprise stood the princess of love herself, glimmer, and a few of her students, along with the CMC spike and two of the heroes of harmony, Fluttershy and Pinky Pie. "Well, it's about time, Gilda called out. "Where's Dash?" "Captured, they all captured, including my sister-in-law," Cadence announced. "Captured? By who?" Asked the crowd. "By, well," she said not knowing how to put this into words. "Aliens," shouted Pinky. The crowd all took one look at her, and a moment of complete silence spread through the room, only to be broken up by the sound of laughter by all. "Haha leave it up to the element of laughter to give a good joke huh," said Thorax. "Is true, pink pony always with the funnies," agreed Prince Rutherford. "No, no, she's not lying," Cadence announced, "they really have been taken by..." Just then, a wall fell down, revealing Bulk, Twilight, and Dash. Held in her magic a holographic projector that was placed on the table. As it activated a large image of an odd creature could be seen. It was like an egg-shaped container holding a green substance with eyes. "Greetings," said the odd creature. "I am King Goobat, I have come to your world in search of sacrifices to my god Poultry!!! There are many wonderful snacks for him. The snakes of course being you," He pointed at them with a robotic hand. "GET THEM!" the king ordered and his army of in slaved equestrians began to march onto the scene. "What now," asked Thorax as Prince Rutherford was captured. "Now we fight!!!" Gilda announced but before she could she was stopped by an arm. It belongs to cadence. "Now's not the time, there to strong, believe me, right now we must retreat and regroup, form an alliance that will actually be able to fight back against them." "Are you crazy why would I," Gilda began but was stopped by a powerful magic blast by Twilight that she barely dodged, "on second thought living to fight another day sounds great." She nervously smiled. The group fled for safety, trying their berry nest to dodge the oncoming blast of magic. Suddenly sweetie Bell tripped on a rock, she screamed out as Dash grabbed her. "Sweetie bell," Fluttershy called out and tried to stop days only to be captured by Twilight's magic. They had no chance of saving their friends, even tho Scootaloo did turn around to stop them, it was Smolder that grabbed her hoof and dragged her to safety. As she heard her friends scream out for help. Sweite Bell and Apple Bloom were like the others forced into their attire and then brought onto the ship with the others. The ship was like any alien ship you've seen in the movies. It was a large crime saucer with a dome on top with rivets holding it together. The ponies were ordered to walk onto a conveyor belt which took them to the cargo area, a large dark room where due to the concerned nearly lined them all up in towed if four by four. sixteen passengers a load. Sweetie Bell and Apple Bloom stood right behind Twilight as the ship rattled and shook taking off into the air. Above them sitting in the dome was the driver, a Yolkian worker with a ball cap on. He listened to his favorite song, it's the End of the World as we know it, and I feel fine, humming to it as he brought the ship closer to its destination. They approached the planet's moon, and the light from it became intense as they passed it by, so intense the driver had to put on sunglasses over his egg-like robotic suit. Then over the course of a few minutes as he hummed the last words to the song, "I feel fine," he passed the moon entering its shadow. There in the darkness sat THE MOTHER SHIP, which was a massive large egg-shaped ship that floated just behind the ponies' moon. The Yolkian with a robotic hand pulled a lever reducing speed as it enters one of the strange hangers of the egg. He soon landed and walked out of his ship, ( floated actually) his shift was almost over, he grabbed a remote control and used it to command the ponies and other equestrian creatures to walk out in solid formation towards their holding cell which was just down the hallway. He floated his way down the hall passing other cells full of colorful creatures from down below. When he got to their cage, he pressed a code into a keypad on the wall, then pulled the lever on the remote to make the creatures and ponies walk into their cell. He even made one closes the cell door for him so he didn't have to. He smiled at himself for that little deed, then placed one of the remote controls on a table with other remote controls. All of them looked like joysticks on a black box, and that was it. "Hay Steve," he heard a fellow Yolkian call out to him. Strangle the voice sounded like Patric starfish. He turned to him with a half-hearted smile and a bored expression in his eyes. "Dude if these creatures get any more colorful I'm gonna have to boil my eyeballs." He pointed at his eyes with a robotic claw. "Yay, I know what you mean, Tod, at least this last group I grabbed isn't as bad as the one before, that one they were literally made of crystals. Seriously who ever heard of a crystal pony?" Steve shrugged. His voice sounded like plankton. Tod laughed, "Yeah, hay, when lord poultry eats them, you think it will have magic colorful feathers". "Ooooh maybe, a rainbow chicken would be awesome, all hail rainbow poultry," Steeve joked. "Yeah, well my shift is over for the day I'm heading to the bar, you?" Asked tod. "I would but apparently, the king's cousin asked for a report on the invasion, and guess who's the lucky one," sighed Steve. "Ooh bummer, the king's cousin is kinda a weirdo." Welp good luck then steeve. I'm out of here. Steve nodded as he watched Tod leave the platform, he then floated his way back to work. > Chapter 3 Fght back!!! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And so those who few were left ran for their lives, every moment they had a chance of rest they were corners by the aliens, and more and more of the population shrunk until there was barely anything over the course of months." "Pinky, it's been three days." Dead panned smolder. "Alright fine, I was just trying to hype up the growing conflict but if you insist on three days fine it's been three days," Pinky grumbled. "Well, she is right about one thing, cadence announced. Most of our populations have been captured by the invaders. We're all that's left." She said in a sad motherly tone as she held her baby. Smolder looked around. They sat in a large cave up a mountain, this cave once was the home of a dragon whose smoky breath filled the little town of Pony forcing the hero six, especially Fluttershy to come to wake him up so he'd move away. In this cave, there were twenty left in all. Smolder, Amber, smolders brother, thorax's brother Spike, Scootaloo, Yona, pinkey, cadence, flurry heart, glimmer, gallus, and a few others Smolder did not know, like a Kirin name Drakes, prince blue blood, and a hippogriff child, or Gilda. They were on the run for three straight days and were exhausted at best, scared at worst. If that wasn't bad enough some of the mightiest on all of the land were captured, leaving even some of the greatest leaders in all of equestrian history broken and afraid. "So what now," asked Gilda, grumpily as ever. Cadence wanted to speak but fluty heart cries for her daddy to take her attention to deal with her daughter. Amber took a step forward, "are you kidding me, were equestrians? Since when do we just give up?" "I'm not saying we do we just need a plan first," Cadence said as she rocked her five-year-old filly asleep. "Ok here's a plan, fight back!" Gilda yelled. "Great, we all agree, except if we do that well just get captured by them and then no one will be able to rescue them," Cadence told Gilda, who huffed in annoyance as she began to think of a plan. Amber, sighed, "Well we got to do something, all our friends and family are captured." "But how are we going to do that?" "Are you kidding me?!" Shouted smolder. All the arguing adults turned to the teenager who was a out to graduate school. "It's not like this is the first time we faced our friend being mind controlled, remember when Sombra used his mind control on the fellow ponies forcing the heroes of harmony to take action? That's what we need," she slammed her fist against her claw. "We need action, we can't just sit here and do nothing, and argue till they come and get us. What they did then, is infiltrate the enemies and took down Sombra straight on, that's what we need to do, we need to take the fight to the king." Ember set her claws on her hips and smiled at the young adult dragon. "I'm with you smolder. Well just infiltrate them and take the king." "That's all good and all, but does anyone know where the king is," asked Cadence, who seemed to be the voice of reason in the room. What if he's sitting on his home world? "Hmm, I don't think so," Smolder said with her claw on her chin. "That transmission from earlier even with magic it would have to be within the atmosphere to get through other wise our magnetic field would never let a transmission like that though, not so clearly." "Wow you know your stuff Smolder," Spike chimed in. "Twilight annoyingly had us take science classes, she got the idea from visiting the human world apparently, and Glimmer kept up the classes." "Glad you paid attention to it," Glimmer commented. "Ok, so he is probably close, even so without knowing where he is, we're still not able to do anything," Cadence told them. Suddenly a large flash spoked them all, expecting it to be their enemies everyone grabbed what they could to defend themselves. They relaxed as a familiar voice filled the cave. "Oh there you are, I was wondering where all of you were, having a camp in a cave or something." Said the strange creature in a bored tone of voice. They all sighed, some with giggles. "Discord, it's good to see you." Spike was the first to greet him. "Ah yes, my dragon friend, I have finally returned," Discord said with a sweeping overly dramatic bow. "Where have you been," glimmer asked with a raised voice. "Oh, I was with my old college buddy, the smoose. We've been discussing the treaty of the friendship alliance and all that boring politics, but as the official ambassador of the smoose, his people are apparently excited to join our world in friendship and harmony. All in a day's work by yours truly," he said turning his back to them. All in a day's work, no need to thank me, discord rubbed his eagle claw against his chest and then checked it. He spoke as if accomplished something grand. Scootaloo jumped up and hugged him. "Hay it's Discord, he has super powerful magic, he can snap his fingers and make everything normal again." Discord patted the little teenager on the head and before he wormed his way out of the ponies hooves. "Of course, of course, I'll help you with whatever your little pony problem is, but I came here in search of Fluttershy." He turned to Pinky," Tell me do you know where she is, she's not at her cottage or her animal sanctuary. " "No, no, no," the crowd, but it was too late, as Pinky already started to recap the entire story up to this point for discord, including every single detail. On board, the mother ships King Goobat hovered down the halls of the captured equestrians, among him. His assistant was behind him as two royal guards followed. He smiled as he looked spawn the strange colorful creatures. "Oh don't they just look so cute, so cut in fact, that I could just eat them up," he cooed."So Delicious," he chuckled darkly, As he stuck his robotic claw into the cage and pinch the cheeks of Rainbow Dash. "Yes sir, and to think we have your cousin for all of this." "Yes yes, the family screw up. Remind me again how he found these sacrifices'" the king asked excitedly. "He said it was strangely his friend who had them, oh won't poultry be pleased," His assistant clapped. "Yes yes," the king strolled over to a large window, it had a great view of the center of the mother ship, which had a large arena around a giant white chicken egg. The image of the egg sat on the reflection of the king's egg like some suit. "Soon, he chuckled, soon we will have what we came for." He narrowed his eyes. Dash on the other hand, rubbed her face where she was pinched. she looked around and saw Twilight and the others. "It's a good thing I put a hole in my ear tube," she muttered to herself. she then narrowed her eyes at the sight of the aliens in front of her, "you won't get away with this," she whispered at them, making sure not to be caught, she needed to wait until she could save the others and find a way out of there. > Chapter 4 Infiltration > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "WHAT!!! My darling's been pony-napped." Discord yelled as Pinky Pie just finished retailing the entire story up to this point. Then he realized what he just said. "Oh, Uh, I mean uh, Fluttershy has been kidnapped," he nervously laughed. Spike rolled his eyes at this knowing all too well how discord felt about flutershy. "Yes well, I can see this is quite the predicament you've found yourself in. Hmm," he stroked his beard. "Perhaps it would be best if I intervene here." "So you'll help us by snapping your fingers and making the aliens go away?" Smolder deadpanned. "Oh I could but actually I'm under oath, but no worries, I can do this the diplomatic way." He grew excited. "Oh, won't Fluttershy be proud." He literally made a duplicate of himself and patted himself on the back. Cadence raised an eyebrow wondering where he was going with this. "I'll just make a call and get this all sorted out." He pulled out a banana, taped it as if he were dialing a phone, and put it to his ear. He then sat back with a smile, confident in his own actions. He heard a beep, "Ah yes I would like to..., huh, on hold, uhh I've been put on hold." Spike rolled his eyes at Discord's antics but didn't question any of them. Discord tapped his foot waiting for someone to pick it up, but no one did. "Ok well, he's gonna be no help, As usual," Starlight mentioned. "No, I am helping," he grumbled, he then hung up the phone. "Look all I got to do is go see the king, I'll just hop on one of their ships and go straight THEM." "Why can't you teleport," asked Glimmer. "Same reason you can't, he argued. Starlight shrugged, "Fair enough, so your certain we'll be able to talk to the king." "Absolutely, why all we have to do is go up to them and demand them to take us to their leader. Once they see me," he examined his claw, "this whole thing will be sorted out." He said confidently. Cadence rolled her eyes, "there most likely going to capture us." Smolder then chimed in, "but Discord doesn't have a bad idea." At that, everyone was surprised including Discord. "Well, finally my genius is being appreciated," he smirked. "Go on," her teacher encouraged the dragon. "Well what if we hijack one of their crafts and use it to fly it to wherever the king is, I mean we might have to force him to do it, but with Discords powers that won't be an issue." Discord stroked his beard in thought of this idea, "Hmm could work, fine but as soon as we get there let me take the rains I promise you I'll be able to negotiate," "Since when do you even know that word," asked Glimmer. "Since Twilight keeps giving me dictionaries for hearts warming, he shrugged, they do make a great holiday snack," he licked his lips. "Alright then but how are we gonna do this, I mean we can't just walk up to the ship and say Hay take us to you leader." "Umm actually we can, for the most part anyway," smiled Smolder. "Don't worry guys I got a plan." With her words, a sense of pride in her student came from Glimmer as did a sense of pride in the young dragon came from the queen of her kind. "If that's the case I vote Smolder to lead the team. "Said Queen Ember. "I second that" Glimmer expressed. Smolder eyes grew at this, "wow really," "Your plan your move," Spike set a claw on her shoulder. The other leaders nodded. In agreement. "Wow thank you, I, I'm honored," she said in disbelief. "Yes, yes congrats to the Yong dragon, now can we get a move on, I have a friend to save," Discord complained. "Alright then listen up because here is my plan." Dash as quickly as possible undid the helmet on Twilight, Apple Jack, and Apple Bloom. It took them a moment but slowly the three of them came back to their senses and asked dash where Re we. "We've been kidnapped by Pinky's Aliens, remember?" "Hmm oh yeah," Twilight said as she rubbed her head. "Applejack nice to see you again." "Likewise Twi," replied the orange pony who looked like she had a hangover. "What in tarnation are we wearing?" "Those aliens put us in those, they also have a lot of equestrians and plan to feed us all to something inside a giant egg, poultry they called it." "Poultry? They plan to feed us to a giant chicken? Asked AJ, confused. Dash shrugged. "Well either way how are we going get out of here?" AJ asked. "I don't know but I have quite the headache." Said the youngest of them. "Apple Bloom," her sister hugged her. "Oh, hay sis." "Sorry to interrupt the family reunion guys but we need to get out of here," Twilight told them. "Dash so you know anything else. " "All I know is these goofy-looking hats are what are mind-controlling us. But when the goo in them is all out we turn back to normal. I've been trying for hours to get them off your heads. They not easy to get off." Dash claimed. Well, we can't leave almost all of Equestria under their control, but it'll take time to take off their helmets," AJ confirmed. Apple Bloom walked over to Sweetie Bell and tried to remove hers. "Wow, these things really are tight." "But, problem is once we have them how to get back home." "We could steal a ship," Dash said. "Do you know how to fly one of those things," AJ asked. "Fly please I'm a pegasus I can fly anything how hard can it be? "Hmm alright, so far that's our best option. Let's do it guys. First things first," Twilight used a magic beam and shot off the ear tubes on Sweetie Bell's helmet. Just then they heard someone coming. "Shh, here put this on and act like the others," Dash said in a panic, she got back in line just as the king returned with his guards. "Hmm alright, it's about time PREPAIR then to be SACRIFICED." he then chuckled. At this news Dash and those who were awake, all had one thought, "Oh no too late." "Oh here I am, just a normal pony in the middle of the woods walking around," said Glimmer. "Oh dear, I hope I don't get abducted by a bunch of aliens." She said as she pulled along Trixie's wagon. Just then a window opened up revealing Discord. "You know you really should work on your acting." Glimmer glared at him for that when Smolder spoke up. "Quiet down and close the window, we want to ambush them remember." She angrily whispered. "You know I'm just saying you guys are heavy" Glimmer sighed showing how tiers she was. With the window closed Starlight began her speech again. "Oh, here I am, a pony walking in the middle of the woods. Hoping no aliens gonna try to capture me, or alien-controlled friends of mine." Just then out of the wood work glimmer was surrounded by a bunch of morons and changelings all with the machine on their heads and the same suits. Glimmer screamed as she was grabbed and taken to the ship dragging the wagon with her. An alien ship began to defend on the scene and Glimmer looked up frightened as can be, she then grew a smirk and shouted, "NOW!" Members of the group jumped out of the wagon and tackled the changelings and Kirin nocking out their head devices. The Yolkiang saw this and tried to escape on the ship but as he hit the gass the ship didn't move at all. The ship was held in place by a glow of strange purple and yellow energy. Discord snapped his fingers and the ship crashed and landed on the ground, not enough to break it but enough to shake the yokian out of his craft. Discord snaped his fingers and the yokian came straight to him. Discord lowers his face into the glass of the Yokian egg-like jar. "Now take us to your leader," Discord said a bit intimidatingly. The Yolkian scared out of his mind only nodded his eyes, "Of course just please don't hurt me." The alien's craft flew up past the moon until they saw the massive egg-shaped mother ship and then defended into it. "Ok now what smolder," asked Glimmer. Smolder smiled, "Now we find our friends get them to the ship, and fly us out of here." "No, need for that." Discord smiled, "Spike your with me, well just negotiate their surrender. The rest of you stay here, and let the men deal with this." Spike shook his head at that "Go with him Spike, make sure Discord doesn't well Discord things too much alright," Glimmer told him. Spike gave her the thumbs up and followed Discord out into the Alliens hallways to do whatever Discord had in Mind. "Alright, the rest of us start searching for our friends, you." Smolder pointed at the Yolkian, "Where are the other ponies you've captured?" "Why should I"? He spat. Smolder raised her claw. "Alright. alright. I'll take you to them just don't hurt me." "Hmm, such a coward." Glimmer mutterd. Meanwhile, all those who were controlled and on the ship were marching into the large arena and encircled the massive chicken egg. Dash, Twilight, and the others did all they could to not look suspicious but began to shiver at the sight of the large egg. "Oh dear," said Twilight. "That's one big chicken egg," said Apple Jack. "Where's Scootaloo when you need her," nervously laughed Apple Bloom. "Achoo," Scootaloo sneezed as she and the others were led to the detention level where the cells were. But when no one was here Smolder turned on the Yolkian. "You think this is a joke where are our friends?" "Oh uh if they are not here," the Yolkian coward in fear, "them I'm afraid they are about to be..." He gulped. "Bout to be what," Scootaloo crossed her arms. "Ummm sacrifices," He squealed out with a high-pitched voice "Sacrifices!!!" They all yelled out. Glimmer turned to Smolder, "Well Smolder any new ideas?" She asked. "Teach I thank you for your encouragement, but I have no idea anymore." "Come on Smolder it's obvious what we do now," smiled Guilda, Who gave her claws a pound? "I'm can't believe I'm saying this but Gilda right," Cadence nodded. Smolder looked at the group she was with. "Yeah, I guess so. Let's pound them!!!" She shouted. "Yeah," they all shouted. "Oh, finally something I can punch." Gilda smiled. "Hay cadence where's Flurryheart," asked Glimmer, "Oh I left her with Grampa Gruff, I'm not dumb enough to bring a baby to a battle," she smirked. "Besides I'm sure he's handling. It.." At that very moment, Grampa Gruff was running around trying to avoid being blasted by the laughing filly and her magic. > Chapter 5 Final Battle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight, Dash, Apple Jack, and Apple Bloom stood at the base of a giant chicken egg in the center of a massive arena filled to the brim with the strange Yolkian people. They began to fear for their life as the king walked up( hoverd ) and sat on his throne. He announced to that bellow, here I the king shall give our great god poultry the nutrients he needs to live. Poultry. "Poultry," they all shouted. Suddenly the room went silent a giant crack formed on the egg. "Uhh, what now," asked AJ. "Now we try to do everything we can not to get eaten," Dash told her. "Good plan," said Twilight. Suddenly as the egg cracked into a million pieces a giant alien chicken with three eyes awakens. It had barely any feathers on it, it roared a sound of a click as it came out of its egg. It then nealed over to its offering and was about to take a bite of its first victim which was Diamond Tiara when suddenly above them they heard a loud crash as glass from above sprayed the scene, down came the resistance. They landed on the back of the giant chicken and began punching and kicking as much as they could, to little avail. Twilight and the others stood jaw dropped as they watched smolder and the others attack the giant chicken. On top of its head crying out in a blaze of anger Scootaloo shouted, "And here I thought I was a big chicken, But you," she punched its center eye, "take the cake." As it got hit on the eye the giant chicken roared in agony as it began to trip over its own feet nearly stepping on Apple Bloom, Luckily Apple Jack grabbed her and moved out of the way as the beat tumbled into the crowd landing onto most of them. "No!!?" Cried King Goobat, "Seize them, feed them all to poultry." "Dash you apple Bloom and AJ work on freeing the others, I'm gonna join the main battle." "What why can't I fight the giant chicken," she grumbled back. "Because I'm an alicorn with ten times the power than you," Twilight told her. Dash thought for a moment, "huh Good point." With that Dash flew over and began undoing the helmet, but throughout the commotion, a Yolkian saw this and activated the helmet. Now Bulk Biceps went for a punch, but Dash barely dodged it. She looked up at her attacker and grew a smirk. "Ha, I always wanted to prove who was stronger between us. Bulk went in for another punch but Dash with her speed dodged as she said, "You might have size and power but I got speed!" She then mid-air kicked his mind control helmet, and it splattered green ooze all over the ground, As it drained the muscle Pegasus slowly came to his senses. "Dash, where are we, I was working at my second job when I was jumped by these weird green goo things in eggs. " "Yeah it's a long story bulk, but hay, do you mind breaking off more of that helmets with me." "Hmm, uh sure, yeah let's do it!!!" He shouted and began to punch the mind-control helmets off the other captured creatures of Equestria. Twilight flew as fast as her wings could carry her once she reached the top of the Aliens chicken she blasted a huge amount of magic zapping it to the side, but she was not alone as Cadence too blasted its other shoulder. It cried out in fury and toppled over. "Woo hoo, we won," shouted Scootaloo. "No, it's not over yet stand your ground," Smolder instructed. Twilight's eyes widened as the beast stood back up, shook off their attacks like they were pesky flies, and lowered its head to its position. Its eyes narrowed as it followed Twilight who gently sat back down nervously. "Uhh guys now what"? Asked Gilda, "I'm all out of ideas." "Umm I have one," said Starlight. "Let me hear it teach," said Smolder with the same nervous expression as all of them. "Well at times like this a tactical retreat could be useful," Glimmer explained. "Uh-huh," replied Smolder. "In other words," Pinky said cheerfully, "RUN!!!" She finished. With that, the beast cried out its own battle cry and began to chase them as they took off running in circles around the arena, whit each step the ground shook as the monster ran after them. Between Bulk Dash and AJ all of those captured and mind-controlled were now free just in time to see the oncoming threat and began to run off, or fly away, anything they Could to escape the mighty beast. The large ship began shaking and swaying back and forth as a result of the motion. Meanwhile back in Pony villa Grandpa Gruff was running terrified. "AHHHHHHH, little demon pony," he cried out as the young five-year-old filly was laughing and blasting her Alicorn magic here and there. Grandpa Gruff only came to a halt as he saw a giant egg-shaped ship just appear out of the side of the moon. His jaw dropped but then he turned around just in time to see and hear a blast of magic come from the little Alicorn chasing him. The blast of magic flew past his head and sped into the sky like a rocket until it eventually made contact with the giant egg-shaped alien mothership's engines. Inside they all heard something crash into the aise of the ship as it rattled, the lights went instantly off and then it froze. Everyone inside including poultry, all stood quiet with wide eyes. Scootaloo raised an eyebrow, "Huh funny, for a second I thought we were all gonna, ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" "Scotaloooooooooo," they all shouted as the ship began to plummet in a ball of fire back down to Pony Vill. It crashed and landed creating a massive creator where Pony vill was originally. All those inside alien or not flew around mid-air until gravity pulled them back down. With a mighty loud groan from everyone. Dash was the first to ask, "Is everyone dead yet." "Naaa were good," answers a Yolkian guard. Okay good, They all stood up as the wall of the ship fell down revealing the outside world, "With that done back to business right," said Dash "Yes. back to business", king Goobat replied. "Get them!!!" He yelled and everyone began running out of the ship the mighty creature ran after them. Soon one pony, a dazzling handsome unicorn by the name of, prince blue blood tripped. In seconds he was gobbled up by the mighty chicken. The crowd all screwed out in terror as the chicken turned its sights on them. "Ahh, what are we gonna do, are magic is not strong enough to stop that thing." Panicked glimmer. "Yes if only somehow we could focus all our magic on him all at once it might finally be enough to take it out," said Rarity. At that moment a light bulb went off in twilights mind. "That's it,' she screwed out. "What is", panicked Pinky. "I'll be right back," she told them and flew off to the horizon. "What, oh great what we do now," complained Guilda. "Keep running," shouted Smolder. "Good idea," Yona seconded the motion as the alien chicken came closer to gobbling them up. Twilight flew as fast as she could but her wings felt tired and she had to land completely out of breath. "Oh if only there was a way to just get there instantly," she complained. "Oh, wait," She said as she remembered she could just teleport. She raised her horn and her magic surrounded her, in an instant she disappeared and reappeared in front of the big three villains still trapped in stone. Lord Tireak, Cozy Glow, and Queen Chrysalis stood in the same pose as they did when they were imprisoned half a decade ago. Twilight bit her lip as she pondered what she was gonna do, but she sighed in defeat knowing it might be their only chance, With all the magic she could muster she blasted the stone releasing the three mighty villains. As they came back to life they groaned and complained as their bodies were given freedom once again. The three all fell to the floor in pain and relief, "Finally," shouted Chrysalis, "someone freed me, which one of my loyal subjects was it." She smiled, but was surprised to see it was indeed the princess of friendship who stood over them. "Oh what is it now," explained Tireak. Cozy glow just pouted. "Tireak, do you want to gain your three freedom from me?" Asked Twilight in a serious tone. Tireak raised an eyebrow at this. "Alright, I'll bite what do you want princess?" He snarled. "Take my magic, take all of our magic, just use it to destroy that giant alien chicken, and you'll have your freedom. ' "What, Your kidding?" "No, I am not, that beast can't be taken down unless all our magic is combined you have the power to do that, so I'm offering it to you, in exchange for your freedom, one thing you must promise that when you do, you will leave Equestria alone. Is that clear," she snarled. "And why would I help you?" He argued back. "Because if you don't that chicken will eat you too. " "Chicken ha, what chicken could possibly," then he heard a mighty roar from a few miles away. "Oh wow that's a big chicken," smiled Cozy Glow. "Alright, we're out of time, are you willing to help us or not!" Demanded Twilight. 'Yes, yes ill help you." 'And... "Twilight added. "I'll leave Equestria alone but you're not getting your magic back." He argued. "I can live with that," dhe replied and lowered her head towards him. Tireak opened his mouth and drew in her magic, with it he gained his strength back. He then turned his attention to Pony vill, Chrysalis teleported them over since Twilight could not. Twilight collapsed as her magic was gone, her body became weak with no energy. At the sight of the three major villains, everyone's jaw dropped, They prepared themselves for another fight but Twilight stopped them, "No, no please, give your magic to them. All of it." 'Are you crazy," Smolder was the first to comment. "I am not handing him my dragon magic, Twilight, he'll destroy the world. Twilight lowered her head in shame, 'this is the only way to save Equestria now. I made him promise to leave Equestria alone and gain his freedom if he did." "And you're just gonna trust him," shouted Apple Bloom, only for the alien chicken to roar again reminding them of its presence. "We don't really have a choice here,' AJ shouted, She then turned to Twilight a bit frightened but determined. With a solemn nod, she gave the alright to have her magic drained. Seeing one of the elements of harmony give up her own strength to protect Equestria the others felt like they had to as well. They all lowered their heads as Tireak opened his mouth draining all of them and growing bigger than he'd ever been, not only did he have pony vill but now all creatures of equestrian magic. With it, he was now mighty enough to stand toe to toe with the alien chicken. He punched poultry in the face, the chicken stumbled back. "No, you can take him," shouted Goobat. The poultry god stood its ground, tho it was just a hatchling it was mighty and put up its little wings ready to fight. 'Soon the two giants were in a fist-to-fist match punching each other square in the jaw a few times, Tireak came in with a left hook but Poultry dodged it and came in with a right nee, catching him in the gut. It wasn't enough to take him out tho. Tireak tried to focus on a magic beam but poultry was too quick for him.' "Pinky, why are you narrating the fight in past tense?" Asked Apple Bloom. Pinky shrugged. Just then out of the crashed ship walked Discord with a few yolkians and spike. "Oh yes I am sorry about the confusion, once we tell king Goobat well all have this sorted out," said Steeve. Of course, of course, as your new ambassador I new I could get this whole thing sorted out. Discord smiled. "I'm rather impressed Discord, who knew you could actually negotiate a proper treaty that wasn't chaos." Spike told him. 'Oh, you see Spike I told you I have changed. Why after all that chaos i ended up causing Twilight in the past I have finally learned my lesson, friendship is the best way to go about things, and I am no longer doing it my way, but hers." "Im proud of you for that," Spike smiled. "Thank you my friend, now lets go and, what in the name of Celestia grandmother!!!" He expressed as he saw the mess infront of him. All of Equestrian people were fighting the yolkians and running away from two giant monsters fighting in the back ground. Spike just scratched his head at the sight of this. "Discord!" Shouted Fluttershy happily as she ran to him. He still had his moth wide open even when she gave him a big hug. He patted her on the back but was still at a lot of words, as one of the Yokians that were beside him floated by his head. In a strange deep voice, the yolkian who had no eyes shouted, "Goobat what is all this." "Wha, what you mean Smoose, this," he gestured to the scenery, "Is poultry's lunch." "I told you i found a way to feed poultry." argued Smooes in his bizarre deep voice. "Yeah and here we are you did a great job cousin." 'cousin!!!" Smooes popped oped his egg case and slimed out of it forming his gooey self. speaking his true alien toung Smooes expressed his disagreement and how much of an entire mishap this all was. "What?!" The king bellowed in surprise. "yes, you see in exchange for you joining the friend ship alliance we plan to help feed poultry with enoufe chicken feed for its entire life. This whole thing is just a big misunderstanding," smiled Discord. "misunderstanding," shouted everyone. Twilight almost fainted at how discord of all ponies was the one to explain any of this. hmf well even so i have all the magic in the world and im not... expressed tireak but with a snap of discords fingers all the ponies magic was restored from tireak. "what, but what about our freedom," asked Cozy Glow, Chrysalis just rolled her eyes and mutterd, "typical." "No, no I am an alicorn of my word, so long as you dont cause an issue again, you may have your freedom." "But Twilight," Smolder expressed, Twilight just smiled, xin the name of friend ship right," she winked. "ok so now what," asked Dash. "Now we go back and start negotiating the friend ship alliance, with the yolkians, Smooes's people." discord pointed out. "yes, yes lets start negotiating friendship," Twilight was the first to stretch her hoof to goo bat. the king looked at her a bit confused, "Really we just had you almost eaten by our alien chicken god." "Yes and it was all a miss understanding," said Discord who steed in behind Twilight. "Believe me these ponies will be friends with anyone," he shook his head and ruffled Fluttershy's mane who was also proud of him. Smooes slimed over to Goobat and wiggled a bit in Response. The king finally sighed and shook Twilights hoof with his robotic hand. "And so the yolkian war came to an end." "Great story mom, but why did you tell me that when I asked about who was prince blue blood. said the little filly, Cheese Jr. "Beacuse if i told you he was a jerk pony who got eaten by a giant alien chicken, you would of asked why thire was a giant alien chicken, and then I would have had to tell you the full story any way, silly. His mother smiled. 'Oh, yeah you have a point there." Cheese Jr set a hoof to his chin in thought. "Huh, so thats why we have yolkians in friend ship shcool now, What a wired and random invasion."
