"The Storm King Conquers the Teletubbies"
By TwilightSparkle3562
Chapter 1
"Time for a Practice Run"
The conqueror known as the Storm King was a creature who always wanted his warriors to be in the best fighting shape possible. In order to conqueror each land he targeted, he would have his warriors train themselves for the task ahead, even if it meant orchestrating faux missions of every insignificant creature that stood in their way.
Shortly before the invasion of Canterlot, he summoned his newly recruited lieutenant into his office aboard his ship, a unicorn pony with a broken horn named Fizzlepop Berrytwist.
"You called for me, sire?" the broken horned pony asked as she walked into his office.
"Yes, commander Tempest," he replied, sitting from behind a desk. "I know you are still trying to work your way your up the ranks, so I'm just…gonna cut to the chase. There is a land out there where you came from that I have been meaning to visit for quite some time."
"You mean Equestria, your excellency?" sighed Tempest, rolling her eyes.
"That yeah," remarked the Storm King, sitting back in his chair. "Equestria, your former home. Now, I have been planning to conqueror Equestria, however some of my troops under your command haven't been performing up to my standards or they are out of practice. I want this conquest to be perfect, so I feel like you should…"
Right away, Tempest guessed what her boss was trying to tell her. A small smile came to her face upon hearing this.
"…do a practice run? On some weak creature that won't stand in our way? You tell me where to go and I will do it."
"Ah, hungry for blood aren't we?" laughed the Storm King. "I like minions who are up to my level and determination."
"You tell me where to go and I will go do your bidding, sire."
"Okay," replied the Storm King, reaching into his desk and pulling out a map. "As for the land you need to target in your practice run, it is a land that is not largely inhabitated, but does have creatures that have magic."
"Is it powerful magic?"
"You might say that, Tempest."
He unfurled the map and on it was a small land illustrated by hills and windmills. Suddenly, Tempest felt unimpressed by what she saw before her eyes.
"This is the land?" she wondered, her grinning slowly disappearing. "It looks…small."
"Small, yes. But it is a perfect training ground for everyone. In other words, this conquering will be more…supervised…by yours truly."
Just then, Grubber the hedgehog came in bringing in some food in his paws.
"Oh, hey there, sire," said the lisping hedgehog, placing the food on the Storm King's desk. "I brought you some marmalade sandwiches from the kitchen."
"Um, wait a moment, Grubber. I was just telling Commander Tempest of a practice run before we conquer Equestria."
"Um, training session? Why do we need a training session?"
"Because he said so," remarked Tempest, giving her sidekick a hard stare. "Sorry, your excellency."
"That's all right, this isn't the first time," answered the Storm King, eating one of the marmalade sandwiches. Suddenly, he looked towards the sandwiches and got himself an idea, an awful idea.
The Storm King got a wonderful, awful idea.
"Um, sire?" Tempest asked, raising an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"Take a look at these sandwiches," he said, pushing the plate of sandwiches in front of them. "How many sandwiches do you see?"
"Three, including the one you are eating now?" Tempest asked confusingly. "I'm sorry, your excellency. What is your point, exactly?"
"How many alicorns are in Equestria?"
"Four?"
"Exactly," said the Storm King, using the sandwiches to illustrate his point. "Pretend these sandwiches are the four alicorns. For each one represents an alicorn and an eaten sandwich represents that alicorn's magic already in my possession."
"And who is the alicorn you are eating?" asked Grubber, only for Tempest to nudge him in the side.
"Um, who is the recently crowned alicorn? The one who has the entourage?"
"Princess Twilight Sparkle," answered Tempest bitterly, a hint of jealousy in her voice. "She gets all the glory."
"What's that, Commander Tempest? You dislike her?"
"She has everything that I have ever wanted, sire. She got to be Princess Celestia's student, she became an alicorn and she became a princess. I wanted to have all she had and that was all taken away from me."
Almost immediately, Grubber couldn't help but feel sorry for his superior. But little did he and Tempest herself know that the Storm King was going to use this to his advantage later on.
"Well, just remember what we agreed upon, Tempest," reminded the Storm King. "Give me the princesses and I give you back your horn."
"It won't be a problem," Tempest replied in a low voice.
"Of course, we still have our little training session," remarked the Storm King, reaching down to press a button on his desk. "Captain, set a course for Teletubby land."
This made Tempest's eyes widen.
"Tele what?"
"Teletubby land," the Storm King answered in a high-pitched baby talk voice. Home of the Teletubbies, creatures that speak entirely in baby talk."
"No wonder he's making it easy," whispered Grubber.
"Now, there are four Teletubbies that live in Teletubby land. Each Teletubby represents a princess we are targeting, so I want you both to read these lines."
He handed Tempest and Grubber each a piece of paper for them to read. On the paper was a series of words in the form of a script.
"You want us to read these lines?"
"Well, yeah. That is the point of this training session, isn't it? This isn't just any preparation, this is a practice run for our ultimate goal of conquering Equestria and obtaining the magic of the Alicorn Princesses. Everyone is playing a part whether they like it or not, understand?"
Slightly disturbed by her superior getting close to her, Tempest agreed and she and Grubber left the Storm King's office to prepare for this so called training session.
…
A little while later, the Storm King's fleet descended on Teletubbyland, blocking out the baby-faced sun, who could only cry in terror as the dark clouds covered it from view.
The practice run was about to begin..
