(Author's Intro) "After a disastrous meeting with the Iron Bank Joffrey is forced to steal weapons to defend the kingdom. So a plan is formed to steal the Elements of Harmony from the neighboring continent Equestria."
Every member of the Small Council looked angrily at Joffrey who had just returned from a meeting with Tywin. The meeting with the representative from the Iron Bank of Bravos did not go well; in fact it was a disaster. A sleep deprived Joffrey stormed into the meeting room threatened the bank's representative, ranted for a few minutes, and then went back to bed. As a result the bank representative vowed to heavily finance every enemy the crown had if the loan was not paid in full within a month. Joffrey sat down.
"Well, let's get the meeting underway."
"As we all know due to unfortunate circumstances." Petyr Baelish said as everyone looked at Joffrey. "The kingdom must now pay a debt of seven billon gold dragons to the Iron Bank of Bravos within a month. Tyrion and I have looked over the kingdoms finances and even if we take and sell everything our citizens have, we will only be at 1 billon gold dragons."
"I would give the money back, but as you all know I spent it." Bronn said.
"Who cares about paying the bank back?" Joffrey said annoyed. Tyrion slammed the table.
"Joffrey don't you understand? Thanks to you the kingdom is in trouble! The bank was going to offer us financing options, but you had to go on one of your rants! Now unless a miracle happens the bank is going to be handing out money left and right to our enemies! Meanwhile we are going to have none with means increased riots, starvation, all leading up to a dead king!
"How dare you speak to your king that way!" Joffrey yelled back.
"Joffrey." Cersei said. She paused for a few seconds trying to get the words out. "Tyrion is right you did make a mistake. Now we have to stop arguing and find a solution to the problem."
"I already have a solution that does not involve giving a foreign bank billons of golden dragons." Joffrey said.
"This should be good, let's hear it." Bronn said, as he looked at Tyrion whose face was ready for a idiotic idea to come. Joffrey stood up.
"After Grandfather was done squealing me.. I mean talking to me about my actions we came up with a plan. Instead of focusing on getting money we will focus on getting weapons that will crush our enemies."
"And how are we going to do this without money?" Tyrion asked.
"We are going to steal them from neighboring continents." Joffrey said and spread a world map across the table. "The Land of the Dead and Agartha are too far off to steal from, but as you can see the kingdom of Equestria is very near us. It contains sources of great magic, the greatest of which is the Elements of Harmony. That is what we are going to steal."
"An ambitious idea Your Grace." Petyr Baelish complemented. "But a powerful artifact like that will be heavily guarded, and with the current war we cannot spare the forces."
"We don't need the whole army. Grandfather and I already have the whole thing planned." Joffrey replied. "Lord Varys can your birds find the location of the Elements."
"Most certainly Your Grace."
"Good, Grandfather has already sent the Mountain and an assault force to Equestria, they will attack small villages on the outskirts of major cities. This will force the rulers of Equestria to defend any remaining one. The next part of the plan is I will conduct a royal visit to create a peace and trade treaty. This is of course a rouse to force any remaining soldiers to stay close to the castle. While the meeting is occurring another assault force lead by The Hound and Uncle Jamie will steal the Elements. For now however we need to wait for the Mountain to strike so meeting adjourned."
"A brilliant plan dear." Cersei commented as everyone started to leave the table.
"Hard to believe Joffrey come up with that plan." Bronn said confused. "Do you think it will work?"
"First off we both know my father came up with the plan, and it's a pretty good one." Tyrion replied. "However the fatal flaw I see is Equestria is one of the most peaceful continents in the world, and we are sending a ranting mad man to conduct peace treaties." Bronn shrugged in shoulders and they left the room.
Equestria a few days later.
It was a beautiful day in Equestria. Ponies in a small village on the outskirts of Canterlot were enjoying the day, and conducting daily tasks. The peaceful atmosphere was broken by the sound of fast moving hooves in the distance. The ponies in the village did not know what to make of it was it good news, bad news, or excited ponies playing? The sound was getting closer when suddenly an arrow struck one of the ponies in the head. The remaining villagers screamed in terror as The Mountain and Lannister troops overran the village and begun the massacre.
Two days had passed since the Mountain began his attacks.
"Your Grace my birds from Equestria sung me a song this morning." Lord Varys said sitting at the daily Small Council meeting. "It appears Sir Gregor has attacked and burned five villages to the ground. My birds tell me the country is in a panic over these events. The ruler of Equestria Princess Celestia sent soldiers and other princesses to guard the remaining villages and hunt Sir Gregor. However since he has much more battle field experience he is easily avoiding major forces.
"Did your birds locate the elements?" Joffrey asked happy his plan was working.
"Yes and the news is good. The elements are being held in an underground cave; inside a source of magic they call the Tree of Harmony. My birds even sent me a map to its location, an escape route for Jamie and The Hound, and a way to signal them to begin the attack." Varys handed the map to Joffrey.
"Well struck." Joffrey said.
"I also have good news Your Grace." Petyr Baelish said. "Celestia accepted your offer for a peace treaty and would like to meet in person. I sent a reply back telling her we will arrive in four days. Jamie should arrive in King's Landing soon. We can leave tonight if you command it." Things are going my way for once Joffrey thought.
"Have the Sea King ready for departure. I will leave tonight along with Mother, Dog, and you Petyr Baelish." Joffrey made two fists and looked disgusted. "Now I don't believe I am going to do this but." Joffrey looked at Tyrion. "I want you and Bronn to run the kingdom in my absents."
"What!" They both replied shocked.
"Just keep the kingdom from burning down or getting taken over until I get back." Joffrey said still not believing what he just did.
"I never ran a kingdom before, this will be a bit of a challenge." Bronn replied.
"It's a great opportunity," Tyrion said. "For once we can get something done without resistance. Joffrey I also want to make something very clear the kingdom of Equestria is one of peace. Things that are normal to us like people dying in the streets, wars, and crazed ranting will be quite horrifying to them. So it would be a good idea to let Petyr Baelish do most of, if not all the talking."
"All shut up! I know how to be a king, I just hope you do." Joffrey replied.
For the next few hours everyone going to Equestria got things together. When the sunset Joffrey and the others went to the docks of Black Water Bay were Jamie was waiting and they all got abroad the Sea King.
The Sea King sailed for three day, but at dawn on the fourth day land came into view.
"There is it Your Grace the Kingdom of Equestria." Petyr Baelish said. "We are supposed to land a few miles ahead so I strongly suggested we drop our assault force off here."
"I agree." Jamie said. The Hound ordered the ten other men with them to board row boats.
"Be careful." Cersei said to Jamie.
"Don't worry about us." Jamie replied confidently. "It will be a cake walk." Jamie took the map Vary's birds provided, then him and the Hound got abroad a row boat and headed to land. The Sea King docked at a peer. Joffrey got out and was immensely disgusted by what he saw. Everything seemed so peaceful and happy. Rose pelts were dropped from Pegasus above. Bird sang pleasant songs.
"Hi you must be the royal visitors from Westeros." Princess Cadence said smiling warmly at them.
"Yes, yes we are." Cersei replied happily as the Sea King headed back out to sea. "I am Cersei the queen regent of Westeros. This is the king's master of coin Petyr Baelish, and this is the King of Westeros King Joffrey."
"The pleasure is all mine to be in the presence of a fair princess." Petyr Baelish said to Cadence not believing he just said that to a unicorn with wings. Joffrey was about ready to blow. The songs were annoying to him, the peaceful atmosphere was sickening, and how dare they drop flowers on a king.
"It is a great honor to meet people from another continent." Cadence looked at him kind of confused not knowing what the word people met. "It is my hope that our two kingdoms can form an alliance of peace and friendship." Joffrey said in a convincing voice.
"I hope the same." Cadence replied happy. To her the new visitors looked strange, but they seemed nice. "Now if you can follow me the train is departing to Canterlot."
"What is a train?" Petyr Baelish asked.
"That over there." Cadence replied. Figuring it would be easier than explaining it. "Once we get to Canterlot you can meet the leader of Equestria Princess Celestia." The four of them started walking towards the train station.
"I was wondering." Petyr Baelish said. "You said you are not the leader, Celestia is but you both call yourselves Princess. How does that work?"
"There are four Princesses in all, but Celestia is the leader of Equestria. She raises the sun every day." A feeling of rage filled Joffrey. Cersei quickly took noticed.
"Don't say anything." Cersei whispered to Joffrey knowing he was ready to scream.
"All have her head." Joffrey grunted under his breath. Thinking about his sleepless night.
"Luna is her younger sister who raises the moon." Cadence continued. "Princess Twilight helps maintain friendship in Equestria, and I watch over the Crystal Empire."
"I must say." Baelish continued. "I am shocked that with four Princesses a power struggle has never come up."
"We all have our duties as Princesses and care about each other very much." Cadence decided not to mention Luna's betray centuries ago. "Our land is always peaceful and full of harmony.. Well most of the time." Cadence voice got a worried tone as she sat down. The Mountain Joffrey and the others though.
The train started. Joffrey was at first shocked that it was moving on its own, but the feeling quickly turned to outrage that he was forced to sit on a train with common people. It took a lot but somehow Joffrey managed to keep his calm during the half an hour train ride, and soon they arrived in Canterlot.
"Right this way." Cadence said as the train doors opened.
"For a kingdom of peace I noticed there are many guards around." Petyr Baelish said knowing there plan had worked. "I was also wondering will the other two Princesses be joining us?"
"Um, I think Celestia can give you more information about that." Cadence said not waiting to say anything that may scare off their new visitors. Joffrey was following Cadence to the castle when a bird landed on his shoulder.
"Aww how sweet." Cadence commented. Joffrey was ready to punch it, when he noticed a small piece of paper in its month. The bird dropped it in his hand.
"This better not be some note about friendship or welcome to the land." Joffrey thought as he opened it.
"The Mountain has left the land. Jamie and The Hound are in position. Tell them when to attack. Pencil is on my back." Joffrey could not believe what he was seeing. This was one of Vary's birds, that actually was a bird. Joffrey pretended to pet the bird, and when Cadence was not looking took the pencil and wrote. "Attack as soon as you get this, then wait for us at the meeting point." The bird took the paper and flew off.
"Aren't they the most adorable creatures?" Cadence asked smiling.
"Yes." Joffrey replied. "The birds here are lovely."
Jamie, The Hound and the Lannister troops waited for the signal to attack.
"Only ten guards at the tunnel entrance, should be easy." Jamie said. Looking at them from the top of the canyon. The forest around them provided excellent cover to move around undetected.
"There will be more inside." The Hound replied.
"I doubt there will be much more. All of the other troops are out looking for the Mountain, and if there are more inside it will be more of a challenge." Before the Hound could reply a bird landing in front of Jamie, dropped the message from Joffrey and flew off. Jamie picked it up and opened it.
"By the gods Varys even has spies in the animal kingdom." Jamie said surprised.
"He's the master of secrets. What do you expect? The Hound answered back. Now what does the note say?" Jamie smiled.
"Attack."
Back in Canterlot Cadence introduced Joffrey, Baelish, and Cersei to Celestia. Celestia smiled
"It is an honor to meet all of you, and I hope this meeting is the first of a long lasting friendship between our two lands. I am sorry Princess Luna, and Twilight cannot be here but they are off on an important assignment."
"We hope all is well." Cersei replied in a sweet voice. "I say that because it seems your kingdom is having some trouble. I don't mean to be nosey. but I just want to make sure my sons life is not in danger." Celestia smiled turned to a sadden frown.
"I'm not going to lie something terrible has been going on, and I was hoping you could tell us more about it. Our smaller villages are beginning attack, by humans like you."
"Are we being accused of this?" Petyr Baelish asked.
"No that is not what I meant at all!" Celestia said. Trying to reassure them she was not accusing them.
Jamie and half the troops slowly climbed down the canyon edge, while the Hound and the other troops attack from the front. The Hound let out a battle cry and charged. The royal guards quickly got ready, but before they even saw the Hound. Jamie and his troop attack from the left. The royal guards were not ready for an ambush, and Jamie and his troops quickly won the battle.
"Next time save some for me." The Hound yelled when he arrived.
"As you said." Jamie replied as he lit a torch. "There will be more inside. Now shall we?" The torch broke the darkness and the tree of harmony come into view. The Hound glared because there were no guards inside. "Sorry." Jamie said with a smirk. "Now please be a good dog and cut down the tree."
"If your kingdom is in trouble mine would be happy to help if we can." Joffrey said convincingly. "Now you mentioned your villages were getting attacked by humans. "What did they look like? There are a lot of other kingdoms where I come." Celestia looked at Cadence.
"Me and my soon to be husband Shining Armor went to the first village that was attacked." Cadence paused and sighed. "I don't know how anyone could have done the things I saw. Ponies heads on spikes, young ponies covered in tar and burned, the enter village was burned to the ground."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Joffrey said in a sad voice. Although he was enjoying the story. "Did anyone, I mean pony survive?"
"One managed to tell us what happened before he died." Cadence replied. "He said it was done by humans in armor riding giant ponies. One was so large and strong he cut off ponies heads with one swing of his sword." Cadence sighed and small tears started to form thinking of Shining Armor. "I just hope every pony trying to hunt this monster down is ok." Celestia put here hoof on the back of Cadence neck to comfort her.
"If she starts wailing I'll have her head. I am getting sick of this situation anyway." Joffrey whispered.
"We have to give Jamie and the rest more time." Baelish whispered back.
"The man you speak of is also troubling our land." Joffrey said. Cadence and Celestia both looked at Joffrey giving him there full attention.
"His name is Hodor. A vicious mindless monster who works for a man that is trying to destroy my kingdom Robb Stark. He is also allied with a women who uses dragons to terrorize villagers Daenerys Targaryen. Perhaps if we work together we can finally bring this monster to justice."
"Enough talk about wars." Cersei said not waiting Joffrey to over play their cards. "Princess Cadence you said you are getting married soon. When is the big day?" Cadence smiled.
"In a few months. Shining Armor is the captain of the royal guard, and the older brother of Princess Twilight. It would be interesting though to learn some wedding tips from another land."
"In that case." Joffrey said. "Visit Walder Frey. The best wedding planner in Westeros. He is helping me plan a wedding for a friend." Suddenly a door burst opened and a guard came though. He quickly ran over to Celestia and whispered in her ear.
"What!" She screamed in alarm.
"What's wrong?!" Cadence asked.
"The Elements of Harmony have been stolen." Celestia answered in distress.
"How could that have happen?!" Cadence asked very worried. Celestia did not answer she had a worried look on her face trying to think of what to do. Joffrey smiled inside. Finally a plan had worked!
"If there is a situation you need to address. We can leave and continue the visit another time, or you can come visit us." Cersei said wanting to leave.
"That would probably be for the best. I am sorry but this is a very serious situation." Celestia said in a still concerned voice.
"Don't let us keep you." Petyr Baelish said.
"Thank you." Celestia said and ran out of the room.
"The royal guard will escort you to the train. It was nice meeting you." Cadence said and followed Celestia. Joffrey, Cersei, and Petyr Baelish were escorted to the train. Joffrey pulled a knife out from his boot when they the train started. Since it was an emergency situation they were the only ones on the train. As soon as Canterlot was out of sight Joffrey hijacked the train.
Jamie, The Hound, and the rest of them waited at the meeting point. Jamie and The Hound saw the train coming into view and hid behind cover. The train soon stopped. Jamie and the Hound ready their swords. The door opened and a dead pony fell out.
"Well struck dog!" Joffrey said. Jumping out. "You to Uncle Jamie. All of you well struck." Jamie and The Hound put their swords away.
"We can celebrate later." Jamie said. Let's move before someone sees us."
"Dog set this thing on fire." The Hound threw a few torches into the train, and soon it burst into flames. Everyone ran to the boat that Jamie and The Hound used to come ashore, and a few hours later they were aboard the Sea King. "Sail back to Kings Landing." Joffrey said. "Once we get there we will use our new weapon on the Iron Bank, Robb Stark, and anyone else or challenges my rule."
