Summary: Parody/Story 6 of the TtYH Guardians Edition Series. Marvin and Dialga's friends Peter le Pew and Virizion come over to visit said Martian and Time Dragon and end up falling in love with Applejack and Wolfurio.

Can Marvin, Dialga, Skyress, and Spike help Peter win Applejack over and Wolfurio win Virizion's heart? And what will happen when our heroes find out that Discord now has Princess Celestia trapped in her own Castle?

Ch.1: Two New Knights

It was a bright and sunny morning as Twilight Sparkle and Titanium Dragonoid were waiting at the outskirts of Ponyville with their assistants/baby siblings Spike and Skyress and their boyfriend Commander Marvin X-2 of the Martian Empire and mate Dialga the Time Dragon Pokemon. Also with them are: Rarity; Rainbow Dash; Fluttershy; Pyrus; Lionwing; and their own guardians. The sixteen of them were waiting for Twilight's big brother/best friend forever Captain Shining Armor of the Royal Guard and Drago's big brother/best friend forever Zekrom of the Royal Knights of Vestroia to arrive. And they are also bringing with them two friends of Marvin and Dialga's who were just dubbed Knights of the Royal Guard. Dialga is so proud of her guardian friend and very excited to meet her brother-in-law. Marvin on the other hand, despite being proud of his friend, can't help but feel nervous about meeting his girlfriend's older sibling.

"Oh, boy," he whimpered, pacing back and forth with sweat on his brow. "I'm so freaked out right now…I just know that Shining Armor's going to blast me into oblivion after giving me one look!"

"He's not going to blast you into oblivion, Marv," Twilight sighed in annoyance. "I assure you that he and Zekrom are going to like you and Dialga."

"Yeah," Drago said. "We told Shining, Zekrom, Reshiram, and Cadence about you two, and they couldn't wait to meet you."

"So will you quit freaking out and pacing back and forth like that?!" Spike snapped in annoyance. "You're making me nervous."

"Plus, you're wearing a hole in the ground," Skyress added flatly. Marvin looked down to see that he's in the hole that the little dragon mentioned.

"Oops."

"He isn't…always like that," Drago asked his mate, "is he, Dia?"

"You should've seen him at graduation," she groaned with a roll of his eyes.

"Sheesh," Lionwing said as he preened his wings a bit. "I've never seen Marvin this nervous, and all because of Twilight's older brother."

"I know," Helios sighed. "I mean, they're both high-ranked soldiers, aren't they?"

"Well, some big brothers have a tendency to be quite protective of their younger sisters," Boulderon explained with a slight shrug, "especially when it comes to new boyfriends. Kinda like us male guardians with our female partners."

"I'm with Boulderon on that one," Pyrus said with a nod. "Trust me; I've seen a lot of young male dragons try to fry the younger males their little sisters have been dating. And let me tell you…it's not pretty."

"Uh, Pyrus," Fluttershy said to her dragon boyfriend. "No offense, but…you're not making it any better for Marvin." The two of them turned to see that Marvin had ducked into the hole shivering. Groudon then covered her eyes with one claw with a groan.

"Oh…my bad," her red dragon partner replied.

"Hey, anypony know where Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Big Mac are?" Rainbow then asked, looking around with an arched eyebrow.

"Yeah, and where are Wolfurio, Trister, and Kyogre?" Helios added. "I thought they'd be here, but I don't see any signs of them."

"Oh, they said they had to take care of something quick at Sweet Apple Acres," Lionwing answered them. "But don't worry, Rainy. They'll be over soon…I think."

"What do you mean 'I think'?" his girlfriend asked with confusion.

"Well, Lionwing and I saw the amount of work they needed to do," Rayquaza answered nervously, "and let's just say that…I think it might take longer than they hope. Course, it's not going to stop them."

"Well, you know how persistent Applejack and Wolfurio are," Helios replied with a slight chuckle.

"But not as persistent as you, my little angel," Lionwing purred, nuzzling into Rainbow's cheek with his beak while holding her with his wing around her shoulders.

"Lionwing, not in front of the guys," she giggled.

"Oh, let them watch," the gryphon whispered. "Or are you afraid I'll expose your ticklish spot?" As he said this, he trailed a claw across her side, causing her to yelp with a laugh.

"Hey, what did I tell you about that?"

"What? You mean this?"

"ACK! Lionwing, cut it ouhohohout!" Helios then turned his gaze to Rayquaza with a sneaky gleam and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Heli?" she asked with surprise. "What are you—ACK! Nohohoho! Stop ihihihihit!" She burst into a fit of giggles as her mate held her and tickled her long stomach. Rarity and Taylean just had to laugh with them.

"So what can you tell us about this friend of yours, Marv?" asked Spike, hoping to get his mind off witnessing what he just witnessed.

"Yeah, and your fellow guardian, Dia?" asked Skyress, perching herself on her shoulder.

"You mean Peter le Pew and his guardian Virizion?" the Martian answered. "Well, Dialga and I knew them when we were in college; Peter was a foreign exchange student when I met him during our freshman year."

"And Virizion met Peter and became his guardian the same day I met Marvin and became his guardian," Dialga added. "Peter is also the forth cousin of another college friend of Marvin's named Pepe le Pew, and he's been very helpful when he was tutoring him."

"Oh," Twilight replied with interest. "Which subject? Mathematics? Chemistry?" Marvin blushed before giving his answer.

"French." Everyone's eyes went wide at his answer.

"You took French?" Rainbow snickered.

"It was a prerequisite," the Martian protested.

"And Virizion has also taught me some French as well," Dialga added. "She speaks it very fluently."

"I didn't know a Martian like Peter knows French," Spike replied.

"Well, that's because he isn't a Martian," Marvin explained. "He's a skunk."

"A…what?"

"Don't worry," Dialga explained. "He got himself into an accident at a body wash factory a week before he came here."

"And how are we to not worry about it?" asked Drago.

"He isn't really hurt; just got his stink replaced with the scent of Old Spice," Marvin answered.

"How did that happen?" asked Taylean.

"Fell into a vat of freshly made Old Spice body wash," Dialga explained. "Made him more attractive to the other girls besides his looks and charm."

"Well, that's something we can look forward to," Rarity replied. "But what about Virizion?"

"Oh, she's not really a dragon like I am," Dialga explained. "She's really the Grassland Pokemon that's a combo of Grass and Fighting Types."

"Sounds like a forest spirit if you ask me," Helios replied as Twilight looked up and gasped with delight.

"There they are!" she cried, pointing up at the sky. "There are Shining Armor and Cadence!"

"And Zekrom and Reshiram!" Drago cried, looking up with delight as well. Quickly, Marvin jumped out of the hole and dusted himself off, wanting to look presentable for Shining Armor and his wife, as did Dialga for the Yin-Yang Dragons.

Two carriages pulled by the Pegasus Soldiers then landed before the awaiting group, followed by the black lightning dragon and the white fire dragon. The first chariot to land held the dragons' partners Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. The second chariot held an anthromorphic striped skunk with a well-built athlete's body and a hairstyle that draped over his eyes in a dashing manner. He also has on a suit of armor much like the Soldiers but designed for his body, and he held his helmet under his arm. And on his right wrist is the branded mark of long pink lily petals forming the shape of some sort of fleur-di-lis.

His guardian riding the chariot with him is a green Pokemon that looks like a green antelope without the antlers. On her right front leg is a branded mark of a fencing sword

"Twily!" Shining cried, climbing out of the carriage and hugging his little sister who ran up to him. "So good to see you again, sis!" Cadence then climbed out to follow her husband, and she and Twilight did their secret hoof-shake:

"Sunshine, sunshine,

Ladybugs awake!

Clap your hooves,

And do a little shake!" The two of them laughed as Drago embraced Zekrom and Reshiram and the skunk and antelope then climbed out of their own carriage.

"It's so good to see you, Twilight," the Princess of Love then said, giving his sister-in-law a big hug.

"It's great to see you too, Drago," Reshiram said to her brother-in-law as her husband then gave him a noogie. They then turned to see Dialga standing before them with a smile.

"Zek! Resh!" Drago then said as he placed his arm around his mate's shoulder. "Meet my mate Dialga."

"How do you do?" she said to them. Reshiram then greeted her back with a hug.

"It's so good to finally meet you, Dialga," she said to her.

"You sure can pick 'em, Drag," Zekrom said to Drago. "She's quite the looker!"

"Zek…" Drago laughed as their partners then turned to see Marvin standing right behind Twilight.

"Oh," the Unicorn then said, turning to her boyfriend to see that they noticed him. "Shining? Cadence? I want you to meet Marvin, my boyfriend." Cadence smiled at him before hugging him.

"It's wonderful to finally meet you, Marvin," she said. "Twilight has told us so much about you, and I hoped to get the chance to meet you." Marvin gave her an invisible smile before turning to Shining and gulped. He then gave the captain a nervous wave.

"He-Hello, Ca-Captain Armor," he stuttered. Reshiram turned Twilight with concern.

"Is he okay?"

"Oh, he's alright," Twilight assured her. "He's just nervous because he thinks Shining's going to get to try and fry him or something out of protecting me." Her brother turned to her with a "You're kidding, right?" look.

"Where did he get that idea?"

"Well, Shining," Zekrom teased, "how many of your soldiers have you seen being protective of their younger sisters when it comes to the younger colts they're dating?" Shining blinked in reply.

"Oh…" Marvin then turned to the skunk, as did Dialga to the green antelope, when they joined the white stallion and his black guardian.

"Peter!"

"Viri!" The skunk and his guardian smiled when they saw his Martian friend and her fellow guardian from college.

"Dia!" Virizion then rushed up to her and did a handshake with her much like Twilight and Cadence's: first a high-five; next a low-five: then a French two-kiss greeting; and finally a dramatic pose with a shake of the hips. All this while they did their rhyme:

"High cinq high!

Low cinq low!

Give a kiss-kiss

And a Sacre-Bleu!" The two females laughed as they then embraced.

"Oh, it's so good to see you, Dia," Virizion then said. "Oh, you don't now how super proud I am to hear that you're named Martian Empire Captain!"

"Thanks," Dialga chuckled, "and I'm super proud to hear that you're part of the Royal Guard! You must be super psyched!" Virizion just giggled as Peter greeted Marvin.

"Marvin, mon ami," he chuckled, going up and clasping hands with him. "It's been a long time! I heard you're le commandier of the Martian Empire, non?"

"Sure am," the Martian chuckled. "And I've heard you've been knighted into the Royal Guard. Congratulations."

"Merci, mon ami," he replied before turning to Twilight. "Ah, and this must Capitan Armor's jeune soeur I've heard about, non?"

"And this must be Captain Zekrom's little brother I've heard you're sweethearts with," Virizion said, turning to Drago. "You certainly can pick them, Marvin."

"Yes, she certainly is an incredible girl," Marvin said, turning to Twilight with loving eyes.

"Well, what did you expect?" Shining chuckled. "She's my baby sister."

"And he's my little brother," Zekrom laughed as he ruffled up Drago's spines. Peter then took Twilight's front hoof and kissed it.

"It is mon pleasure to finally meet you, Mademoiselle Sparkle," he said to her suavely.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mr. le Pew," she replied with a smile.

"And it's great to finally meet you, Miss Virizion," Drago said to the grass antelope.

"Oh, s'il-vous plait," she chuckled. "Call us 'Viri' and 'Peter'. That's what nos amis do." Shining and Zekrom then turned to see Pyrus, Groudon, Rayquaza, and Lionwing.

"Oh," Shining said, turning back to his sister. "Twily, are these your new friends too?"

"And their guardians?" Zekrom asked Drago. He and Twilight turned to them with a smile.

"They sure are," the Unicorn answered. "The gryphon is Lionwing, Rainbow Dash's boyfriend. And the red dragon is Fluttershy's boyfriend Pyrus."

"The green dragon Pokemon is Rayquaza," Drago introduced, "Lionwing's guardian and Helios' mate. And the red dinosaur Pokemon is Groudon, Pyrus' guardian and Boulderon's mate." He and Twilight then turned to the two avian creatures and their guardians. "Guys, this is my partner's older brother Captain Shining Armor, his guardian/my older brother Captain Zekrom, his mate and my sister-in-law/dragon sitter Reshiram, and her partner/Shining's wife/Twilight's sister-in-law/foal-sitter Princess Cadence."

"How do you do?" Lionwing said, shaking claw/hoof with the blue-maned Unicorn.

"Please to meet you," said Pyrus. Groudon then bowed to them politely, feeling quite humble to be in the presence of royalty. Cadence and Reshiram greeted them with a smile before they noticed something amiss.

"Uh, Twilight," Cadence then asked the violet Unicorn. "Where are your other friends Applejack and Pinkie Pie? I thought they'd be here too."

"Their guardians Wolfurio and Trister are also amiss," Reshiram said to Drago.

"Oh, they're taking care of something over at Sweet Apple Acres," Twilight answered. "I guess it must be taking them longer than they had hoped."

"Well, we'd be more than happy to help them out if you like," Shining stated.

"Really?" replied Drago.

"It is le duty of the soldier to help other, non?" Peter answered.

"Yes," Virizion concurred, "and I'm curious about what it is they're working on."

"Same here," Rainbow Dash concurred. "Let's go!" With that agreed, the group then headed over to the Apple Family farm while the Pegasus soldiers returned to Canterlot…not knowing that our heroes are being spied on by Kaa, Mewtwo, Genesect, and Sir Hiss, Discord and Razenoid's four sly lackeys.
