Prince of Equestria
Chapter 35- No end in sight
This chapter is written by both me & Undead Zed
Mario The Sonic Plush's POV
Suddenly, as I am in the presence of Princess Celestia, my teacher, a bright yellow light comes flashing through my eyes as I watch the entire battle continue. My brain somehow uncovers new memories. Memories that I never knew I had before.
My eyes just woke up, on the ground. I could barely even move.
(Flashback, ten years ago)
December 16, 2011.
Suddenly, a white tall alicorn with a flowing mane, wings and a crown on her head appeared to me.
Sugar Pop noticed the alicorn.
"Hello," said Sugar Pop.
"I actually have known about you, Mario, since you were born. Anyways; I'm Princess Celestia. Right now, you are in Equestria. Welcome!" said Princess Celestia.
My mouth opens so wide. I was shocked.
"…Equestria?"
Sugar Pop was also shocked.
"Equestria?"
Celestia nods.
"Yes."
"Wow. This place looks beautiful! It's so much better than back home on Earth!" I exclaimed.
(Back to the present)
Wait a second…?
Is that me? With my old friend Sugar Pop? As kids? It looks like we were in Equestria. I am so confused right now.
(flashback to December 16, 2011)
Me, Sugar Pop and Celestia then reach Canterlot.
"Wow!" I yelled out, as me and Sugar Pop's mouths have opened wide.
A whole entire castle is seen through our eyes.
"No way!" yelled out Sugar Pop.
Celestia nods.
"What is this?" I asked.
"This is Canterlot. It's the capital of Equestria" Princess Celestia explained.
Suddenly, a new, constructing statue of ME was right beside the castle, in its concept stages waiting to be built.
"What's this? Is this a statue of me? Why?" I asked a bunch of questions to Celestia.
"I can't quite tell you why...not yet, but yes, this is a statue of you that is currently being built. In ten years, you will be playing an important role in all of Equestria, embracing who you truly are." Celestia explained.
Princess Celestia teleported us to many different places all over Equestria, until she teleported us over to Ponyville.
Me and Sugar Pop read a sign that says: "Welcome to Ponyville".
"Ponyville, eh?" I said
Princess Celestia nods.
"Mhmm."
"Wow. This looks much cleaner than back home" said Sugar Pop.
"I know right?" I said, agreeing with her.
I saw a pretty girl walk by. A little filly, a lavender purple unicorn with a blue & pink and dark purple stripes mane. She's reading a book, and she had a little baby dragon right by her. Her older brother, a blue maned, white stallion was right there with her as well. Her brother didn't look too bad but I was never attracted to him.
The girl interested me so much more.
I blushed at the girl
Sugar Pop whispered in my ear.
"Mario, boy. Go talk to her. I know you have feelings for that girl." said Sugar Pop.
I break out into sweats, feeling all nervous as I approached her.
"H-hi." I said, as I stuttered.
The girl giggles.
"You're cute." she said.
"...Really?" I asked, surprised that she said that.
"Yes" she said, then she began to introduce herself "Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?" she asked.
"I'm Mario Rodriguz, but I hate my last name, so just call me 'Mario the Sonic Plush'. Nice to meet you" I said.
"Nice to meet you too. Hey, me, Spike and Shining are going to Sugarcube Corner. You can come with us," said Twilight.
I turned over to Sugar Pop and Princess Celestia, as I was about to ask them, but I didn't have to.
"Of course, you can come with them, my child. It'll be a great way to make another friend and spend time with someone" said Celestia.
"Ugh. What a crazy dream. I dreamt that I arrived in a land called 'Equestria' with all these talking, colorful ponies and ruled by a Princess (who should be called Queen by now but whatever). We took a tour of the entire land. I even fell in love with a purple unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. This was one of the best dreams I have ever had in a long time!" I raved all about it to my friends.
"Mario...Sugar Pop.. you guys are back." Eliza said, with tears coming down her eyes.
Eliza runs up and hugs both me & Sugar Pop.
She hugged me like she hadn't seen me in a while.
"It's great to see you two again. We thought you were goners". said Ner-Rac
"Mario...you have NO IDEA how worried I was. And Sugar Pop, don't run off with him ever again!" yelled Eliza.
"It wasn't even our fault that we were teleported." said Sugar Pop.
I sat there, confused, thinking to myself.
"Huh? Teleported? What?!!" I thought. I was thinking Sugar Pop was joking. However, the expressions on my friends' faces told me it was serious.
Mrs. Rammings was there, staring at me.
"You have no idea..." she muttered.
Mrs. Rammings walked off.
Darn it Celestia! I remember all of this now.
(January 24, 2012)
On one of my trips to Equestria that day, I got new powers. A supersonic wind attack for one. Chaos magic blast is another.
I kept on training these powers, and Celestia had watched me use them. She was impressed.
"Good job, Mario. You have been getting stronger and mastering your powers. They can be used for good one day." said Celestia
I lit up with a smile.
"R-really?"
Celestia nods.
However, these powers somehow remained with me back on Earth.
Of course, I didn't know how that happened.
Back home, in the hallways, I unintentionally used a powerful, supersonic wind.
Of course, I was confused.
"Wait a second? That's weird. Where did that come from? HUH?"
(Present day)
I've just about had it! I really have had it! I do not care anymore. I don't care about being the Prince of Equestria. I don't care about being a badass. I don't care if I live to see the day where everything is peaceful again.
The fact is that Princess Celestia was always there, watching me all my life. She lied to me. She never told me she was Mrs. Rammings. That she was my teacher, all along. It's like she planned everything behind my back. Not just my back but also Twilight and the rest of the Mane six's backs as well.
I watched in horror as I saw Anti-Mario being killed by Queen Chrysalis. Then, Lord Zarkiar betrays us and joins King Sombra. He and his pathetic army all joined forces with the tyrannical "king". Celestia never did anything about it. She never cared about any of us. Anti-Mario's life could have been saved. It was her fault that he was killed by Chrysalis herself!
I know what I had to do.
I glare at Celestia and proceed to question her.
My allies watch in shock.
"YOUU!" I snapped, "You planned everything, didn't you?! You lied to me, about every single little thing."
Celestia sighs.
"I did not want to let you know the truth until you were ready. You were not ready yet." Celestia said,
(NO POV)
King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Lord Zarkiar, along with their armies are all watching in shock.
"Wow. Who knew the Prince of Equestria had a backbone?" asked Zarkiar
King Sombra nods, with a grin on his face and licking his lips. He enjoys the chaos.
"Oooh. Delicious power." said Sombra
"How shocking! Too bad though. He would have been the perfect asset for us, ever since I killed that pathetic child" said Chrysalis
MTSP is livid and continues to yell at Celestia.
"Excuse ME?! How. Dare. You. I was ready a long time ago. I could have known everything much sooner. I shouldn't have had to deal with being ABUSED on Earth for so long, by my dear old father or these bullies at school. But no. You let me live half my life in HELL! You could have let me stay in Equestria. I should have been allowed to live here. I am convinced that you wanted me to suffer. You secretly did. You planned for me to be crowned as the Prince of Equestria in the future, and so, you have allowed me to suffer on Earth, the planet I thought I was born on. That's why you removed my past memories of ever being at Equestria!" he yelled.
"B-but I only wanted to protect you." said Celestia,
"Protect me? Ha! What a pathetic excuse. Have you ever been abused in your life before? All by a man or woman that should truly love you as their child? I bet you have not and that you lived a wonderful, privileged life, with your sister Luna and your parents. The King and Queen of Equestria. They all loved you. Before I met Twilight and Rarity, the only people who loved me were my mother and the friends I had over the years. That's it.
You know what, old lady? I was wrong about you. You are insane. Being the Prince of Equestria is no honor. It's a curse. I bet you set up this whole war. Every villain I ever fought, everything, was probably set up all by you so you and Luna did not have to do the work! I will take it back. You are not just insane. You. Are. A. MONSTER! A heartless monster. That's what you are. Now, thanks to you, there is an all out WAR. Lives are being lost. My little brother, Anti-Mario, died because of Queen Chrysalis killing him. Yet you don't care. You think he deserved being a pawn for her?"
Rainbow flies towards MTSP and yells at him. She defends Princess Celestia
"How dare YOU speak that way to the princess?!" yelled Rainbow
"Rainbow. Shut up. Your pride is your weakness. You are mad because your all mighty ruler isn't perfect and is capable of making mistakes! Also, you don't have a clue what I went through, future Wonderbolt!" yelled MTSP
Celestia gasps in shock. One of her pupils criticizing her?
First, she contemplates sending him to the moon but that would actually be too cruel so she shoots that idea down, especially since he is a hero. Plus she doesn't want to face Luna's wrath.
However, she senses that the prince may have a point, despite the harsh way he put it.
"Now. Start talking and I will let you go." said the Prince
"I-I'm sorry. I am sorry for what I had put you through. Looking at your words, I now think it was not fair. I did not know what was going on and I thought you would have been much safer on Earth. I was wrong." said Celestia, apologizing, "However. To tell you the truth, I never really intentionally started these conflicts. The villains did it themselves, and while I could have joined in instead of leaving it up to the six ponies and now you guys, I wanted you all to prove yourselves. Prove that you can handle conflicts and challenges. Figure them out yourselves. Independence is essential.
The way I handled this however, wasn't the best. If we helped you guys out in the beginning, maybe certain things could have been prevented. Me and Luna have been there to help out more. Tell you what? Starting now, me and Luna will join you, Twilight and all heroes in your fights."
Mario The Sonic Plush breathes. He lets out a small smile. Tears are dripping from his bruised face.
"R-really? You. Mean it?" he asked
"Yes." Celestia said, as she nodded.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. R-I mean, Princess Celestia. I don't care what you are or where you came from. You are still my favorite teacher."
The prince said this with a smile and he let her go. Celestia and Luna decide to both join in the war.
However, the prince is still conflicted. King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis are unstoppable. Now with Lord Zarkiar and his army on their side, things are becoming way more difficult.
He growls at the three villains.
"I'd admit. We were impressed with the way you almost destroyed Princess Celestia. However, that was thrown out of the window. How very disappointing." said King Sombra
"You could have been with us! You would have been supreme! Greater than Anti-Mario" said Queen Chrysalis,
"You could have been my true successor all along if you just destroyed her." said Lord Zarkiar, in disgust
"But I didn't, did I? No. Unlike you three, I have way more class." retorted MTSP
Zarkiar then smirks.
"Try me."
He shoots out lasers from his hands, and aims them towards the Prince.
"Heh. Zarkiar, you are going to have to do better than that!" yelled out MTSP
The Prince uses his supersonic wave attack against him, causing Zarkiar to pass out.
"COME ON! LET'S GO ATTACK THEM!" yelled out Commander Rengo.
"Yeah!" all of Zarkiar's army shouted.
Suddenly, Zarkiar's army charges up ahead. The big hippopotamus, Commander Rengo commands the army to go ahead and attacks MTSP, Discord, Fluttershy, Eliza, Blackbiter, Rarity, Trixie and Pinkie while they were not looking.
Twilight is pissed.
"Ugh! None of us have a chance now. We're toast." she said
"I know…" said MTSP, weakly
Discord suddenly gets up and snaps his fingers. He electrocutes Commander Rengo.
The draconequus smirks.
"That'll show him." Discord said
Pinkie smirks.
"Alright, I am going to get the party cannon." said Pinkie
Pinkie rushes over to get the party cannon and then back.
"Zarkiar, you are one bad man. Here's a taste of confetti. Whipped Cream." said Pinkie
Lord Zarkiar is confused by this remark while Sombra and Chrysalis groan in annoyance.
Pinkie shoots confetti and whipped cream at Lord Zarkiar.
The whipped cream is actually burning like flames, in Zarkiar's face.
"Ow-Ow-Ow!" Zarkiar yelped in pain
His mask slightly melts off a bit, once again, revealing a disfigured, older man with an eyepatch, one that actually looks quite a bit like Freddy Kruger, while half of his mask on the left is still there.
"I can't believe it. Is this what I had to resort to? Being outsmarted by an annoying PINK HORSE?!" yelled Zarkiar
Blackbiter Flynn tries to get through to Commander Rengo.
"Kid, if you are going to try to kill me, it won't work. Give it up!" shouted Rengo
"HAYAH!" yelled Blackbiter, as he stabs Rengo in the chest with his sword.
Commander Rengo growls.
Spike breathes a giant ball of green fire from his mouth (cause he's a dragon duh)
It blinds Com. Rengo.
"What?! No! No! Stop this now!" yelled Rengo
Spike doesn't listen, and just keeps breathing the green fire.
Suddenly. Rengo screams and vanishes, leaving only a skeleton
"Woah. Spike! You really have gotten stronger! I am so proud of you!" Twilight exclaimed
Spike blushes and giggles.
"Heh. I told you so!" he said,
Zarkiar is mortified.
"Nooo! My dear commander is gone! What!? How is this possible!" yelled Zarkiar
Zarkiar decided to direct his attack and anger towards Spike.
"You pathetic dragon! You will pay for this…" said Zarkiar
"Oh yeah? Do it then." said Spike
Lord Zarkiar breathes.
His eye parts on the mask glow more green with purple smoke coming from the sides of his mask.
He concentrates as he begins to summon a dark energy. Black, dark smoke coming from his right hand. It creates a whirlpool.
"Any last words, before I kill you, Spike?" asked Zarkiar
Spike grits his teeth.
"Nothing? Okay then. Die!" yelled out Zarkiar
Zarkiar's dark, smoke whirlpool is aimed directly at Spike. Spike screams.
"No! Spikey Wikey!" yelled out Rarity
Every one of the allies are all in shock and horror.
Magellan is shaken by the experience since it just brings him back to when he served in the Korean War.
"…" Magellan is silent,
"Wow! Spike is a goner! Oh and Grandpa! Are you okay?!" asked MTSP, as he shook his grandfather.
Magellan hugs his grandson.
"Look. I'm fine. It's just. This just brings back painful memories from my Korean War days and to see such a little young dragon suffer like that…I can't imagine." Magellan said
The prince just backs away from the hug.
"I know" he replied, "I have seen way too much suffering in my life as well..."
Twilight grits her teeth. She lets tears come out of her eyes. She decides to do something about it.
She decides to fly up high, and save her son.
She looks down at Spike who has passed out. Twilight is all the way up in the sky. With her horn, Twilight levitates and picks up Spike from the ground.
Twilight grabs a hold of Spike and saves him before he can get killed. She flies off with him.
Lord Zarkiar thinks he did it.
"Yes. I finally did it. I killed a pathetic hero. Now, I can continue to take it all over."
Zarkiar laughs.
However, as the dark smoke vanishes, it reveals Twilight and Spike. Not severely harmed at all.
"W-what?! How is this possible?! He should have been dead!" Zarkiar exclaimed in shock
"I saved his life. Face it, you may think you are all tough but I can easily stop you." said Twilight
King Sombra is shocked. He turns to Queen Chrysalis.
Sombra comments
"I don't believe it. She really has been taught by Celestia as well. Why else would she possess this type of power?"
Chrysalis looks at Sombra
"I must admit, she is very smart. She was able to catch up on what I was planning at the wedding before everypony else did." said Chrysalis,
Zarkiar growls at Twilight and Spike in anger.
"You will pay for this…" muttered Zarkiar
—-
Eliza smirks. She becomes her super powered self again, with a powerful light aura around her, blue hair, while growing fangs & claws like a vampire.
With her claws, she slices through and finishes off Zarkiar's entire army.
"How about that, Zarkiar." Eliza retorted
Zarkiar is pissed off.
He sighs. He is about to be defeated again.
His expression changes into a smirk and chuckles.
"We will see about that. I shall unleash my ultimate transformation." Zarkiar said
All of our heroes are confused, especially the Prince.
"Huh? What 'ultimate transformation'?" Mario The Sonic Plush asked, in confusion
Zarkiar undergoes his transformation. His normal human body begins to dissolve, into an invisible body. His mask and suit are replaced with a white, ghostly form of his unmasked self. His peach skin is not disfigured.
He laughs. He has transformed into the Ghost of Akio Yusa, also known as, The Ghost Akiyo (A/N This form of Zarkiar's also appeared in Prince of Equestria: Spooky Ooky)
He laughs.
"Wait a minute. You're also the ghost that terrorized us at the Halloween party and placed a spell on the other spooky creatures!" yelled Trixie
"Correct, my friend. In addition to being Lord Zarkiar, I am also the one I'd call, 'The Ghost Akiyo'. Akio Yusa, the billionaire founder of Mega Corp, operates under three single identities. You saw two of them." Akio/Akiyo said
"You mean. The ghost I have also been encountering all these years is also Lord Zarkiar himself? I knew he had to have looked familiar but wow." The prince said, in shock.
"Yup. When Trixie went to cut me up with her magic trick, I was never truly destroyed. I simply cheated my way out, and changed back out of my ghost form. It was a neat little trick I developed. It seemed to work well. And guess what, you all? In my ghost form, I am unstoppable. You will all be destroyed!" said Akio/Akiyo
Thanks to Sombra's dark magic, Akiyo powers and form are all merging with that of his other identity, Lord Zarkiar.
He is growing stronger and gaining more energy. He begins to look much more disfigured, and screwed up, while still in his ghost form. Zomkiar. He still bears his mask but it's cracked enough to where you can see his horrifying face. On the right, half of his mask is seen while on the left, you can see that disfigured face.
King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis both clap. The two villains cheer for Zomkiar to attack.
"Yes! This is what we want. Then, we will finish them all off ourselves once Zomkiar is done with his assault." said Sombra
"Victory is sweet." said Chrysalis
"This is my wrath to those who have tried to stop me. Time and time again…" muttered Zomkiar
Kit mumbles. He tries to get up.
"I did not see this coming…" muttered Kit
Kit can not get up. He passes out on the ground.
"Ugh. We are screwed." said Fluttershy
"Ugh. This is going to get ugly." said Rainbow
"Don't worry, guys. We will find a way to stop him, just like we will with Sombra and Chrysalis" said Mario
"B-but how? Zarkiar's ghost, or as I should say, Zomkiar, is clearly unstoppable." said Discord
"We are going to figure this out. Just calm down! We shall not give up and we shall win this war!" yelled out Blackbiter
"Exactly!" shouted Twilight
Sombra, Chrysalis and Zomkiar glare at all the heroes.
"I suggest you all give up. Your time is up." said King Sombra
"Face it! Your chances of winning are slim to none. You minus well quit." said Queen Chrysalis
Zomkiar just smirks.
Magellan just watches the whole war go on. He stares at the whole thing, with shock and horror on his aged face.
—-
Kit is trying to get himself up off the ground to attack King Sombra who is approaching him.
However, one of Sombra's guards walks up towards him. He then locks Kit's legs in chains on the ground so he can't escape. He is trapped.
"What are you doing to me?! I don't deserve this!" yelled Kit
The guard refuses to answer and leaves the scene.
—
The others are watching the scene occur.
"Shoot! Kit is kidnapped." said the Prince,
"Oh no." said Eliza, "Well. I am going to go save him! You guys stay there and handle these guys."
"Good luck." said Rarity,
Eliza goes to where Kit is to save him.
Atirik decides to comment.
"If we are going to be able to stop these guys, we will have to use our powers to the fullest extent."
"Right." said Blackbiter
Mario, Twilight and co (save for Eliza of course) all agree.
Atrik then transforms into his physical body form.
Atirik smirks at Chrysalis.
"Get ready. I am about to put a stop to this and send you straight to the depths of hell where you belong." Atirik said,
Queen Chrysalis laughs.
"Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it? Face it, I am way stronger than you, pharaoh."
Atirik chuckles.
Atirik strikes a blue bolt. A much more powerful and deadlier one than last time. He aims it towards Chrysalis.
The changeling Queen is frightened by it. She's shaking.
Atirik throws the bolt at her, killing her in the process.
"Alright! Yes! One less enemy we have to deal with!" said Atirik, cheering
"Woooo. You go, man!" Mario The Sonic Plush said, cheering.
The Prince, Twilight and all the others cheer for Atirik's victory against Chrysalis.
However, the victory doesn't last.
A pair of black hooves with the hive holes that look like Swiss cheese emerges, and throws Atirik.
Queen Chrysalis survived the attack.
"What?!" yelled Atirik
Chrysalis smirks.
"You'd think a pathetic attack would kill me in the slightest? You're wrong!" shouted Chrysalis
"Ugh. This sucks." Applejack
"I know, Applejack. It really does." said Eliza
"Come on! Don't give up. You have it in you!" shouted Celestia
Luna agrees with her sister.
—-
King Sombra himself comes closer to Kit, who is still on the ground, locked in chains.
He stomps on him.
"Ow!" screamed Kit
"This is my revenge on you for what you did to me." said Sombra, "Your worthless life is about to end."
"No! No! Nooooo!" screamed Kit
King Sombra laughs.
Kit is about to attack Sombra but Sombra blocks it. Kit coughs.
Kit refuses to respond.
Eliza arrives at the scene. She is in shock and horror of what the tyrant is about to do to her boyfriend.
"Don't worry, Kit. I am going to save you." said Eliza
Kit looks up to his girlfriend.
"Eliza…" he said
Eliza charges and tries to break the chains off of him. Unfortunately, King Sombra stops her and knocks her out.
"What did you do to Eliza?!" yelled Kit
Sombra smirks.
"Alright. Time to eliberate you. Goodbye." said Sombra
"Oh no.." Eliza said, weakly.
Sombra assaults Kit more. He keeps banging Kit's almost lifeless body hard to the ground. He has no strength or energy left. Eliza is forced to watch this in horror as Sombra leads Kit to his death.
Kit chokes. He passes out, on the ground. His heart stops.
"I am sorry to say this, vampire, but it looks like your dear boyfriend is dead. I hope you are happy about this. This is what happens when someone refuses to defy me." said Sombra,
Kit has been pronounced dead. Killed by King Sombra.
Eliza gets up. Her eyes glowing dark green.
"You…monster!" yelled Eliza, as tears come down her eyes
—-
The others have watched the scene go on.
"Everyone. I am sorry to say this, but Kit is dead. He's gone." said Mario
Everyone screams in horror as they see Kit's dead body, Eliza, and Sombra's laughing.
Even Celestia and Luna show emotion.
"This is awful! What a monster." said Twilight, "I won't forgive him for this."
"Me neither." said Fluttershy, "I am usually very forgiving, just look at Discord, but King Sombra gets no forgiveness from me. Not after he just killed Kit! He is nothing but a heartless monster!"
"First Anti-Mario is gone, now Kit. I hope one of us is not next." said Rainbow
"Me neither. The last thing we need is more of us to die." said Blackbiter, "Just like what happened to my younger sister."
Unfortunately, the prince is not in a good mood. Tears are dripping down from his eyes. He can't believe everything is happening to and around him. All at once.
He starts to yell and scream. He gets so much emotional.
"Why! Why! Just why!? Why is everything going wrong?! We are all doomed and it's all your fault! I hope you are happy, Celestia! Everything is dying and we all won't make it!"
The Prince throws a severe meltdown. It leaves almost everyone (except Eliza & Blackbiter in shock.
Twilight & Rarity are the most surprised. Out of all the times they have seen MTSP; they have not seen him act this way.
After he calms down a little, he is met with bewildered reactions from Twilight and Rarity
"Mario. What's going on with you? I haven't seen you react this way over anything." said Twilight
"Darling. Please, do tell us what's going on." said Rarity
The prince sighs.
"Well, I was going to tell you two eventually.. The thing is. I tried so hard to hide that part of myself, because I was afraid that if I let it out, accidentally, you would not love me anymore. The truth is that I have Autism. It's a severe form of it. This form also causes meltdowns like you see here. It's probably one of the reasons why my dad does not like me. I guess I was never meant to be here." he said
All suddenly rally around him, in support, making him shocked that nobody ever thinks of him differently.
"Mario, honey. Thank you for letting us know. I don't think you are bad. Not at all. You are the kindest, nicest, sweetest, caring, heroic, down to earth guy I have ever met in my life. I am actually happy I found you way back when. One meltdown is not going to change that." said Twilight
Rarity nods in agreement.
Both Twilight & Rarity kiss him, making everyone stand in awe.
"Thank you…everyone." he said, with a smirk, "I shall make all of Equestria proud!"
The prince gets back into his fighting spirit again.
—-
Eliza's super powered form increases. Her already light blue hair gets even longer almost to her skirt. Her dark green glowing eyes look deadly. Her claws grow bigger. Her fangs show more and more. Her hoodie starts to rip into bits and pieces. Her white bra is showing. Her skirt and her flats are the only other pieces of clothing showing
Sombra is shocked and in horror.
"Who are you!?" yelled Sombra
"King Sombra. I am your worst nightmare. That's who I am." said Eliza, "You can call me, Nightmare Eliza."
Eliza, in her new Nightmare Eliza form, with no mercy towards the tyrant, her boyfriend's killer, starts slicing Sombra with her claws. Then, she goes and punches him.
She knocks him out. Sombra will get up off the ground but for now, he's passed out.
"Enjoy yourself for a while, King Sombra." Eliza did, while smirking.
Eliza laughs as she walks back over to the others.
—-
Chrysalis sends out her Changeling to dispose of the civilians of Equestria. Drain them of their love and leave them to die.
Many lives are beginning to be lost. All of Equestria is screaming. In pain and horror as the nightmare just will not end.
Chrysalis and Sombra have sent out their armies to kill innocents left and right.
If this is not bad enough, some of the heroes have died too. Diane Pinkamena Pie AKA Pinkie is dead. She is very unrecognizable. Atirik's physical form has vanished. His spirit dies off, and all that's left is a statue of his pharaoh head.
Magellan looks at his grandson, the Prince in the eye,
"I am sorry but I can't continue to fight in this battle. I tried to help but I just can't bring myself to. Just be careful out there, my child." said Magellan, hugging the Prince
"I will…" he replied
Magellan runs off to his daughter, Lara, the Prince's mother and George. He can not take it anymore.
He tried to fight and help out in this war but could not. He endured suffering as a Korean War vet and he also endured just as much when his wife Keri Larfield, at the age of 79, was killed in front of him and their grandson, the Prince. So many post traumatic experiences in an old man.
—
Celestia and Luna are helping more than ever.
Applejack stares at Chrysalis.
"Alright, Chrysalis. You are going down!" yelled out Applejack.
Applejack goes to attack Chrysalis, by throwing apples at her.
It hits Chrysalis but not enough to damage her.
Chrysalis goes to her and chokes the cowgirl pony.
The evil Queen smirks.
"Perfect. Now I can kill you." she said
With no means of escaping, Applejack is in pain.
Chrysalis suddenly drains Applejack's love.
What is left of Applejack's remains is something completely unrecognizable.
Applejack is dead.
—
Fluttershy stares at all the dead, passed out bodies on the ground. She gets very angry. Tears are dripping down her eyes.
"How dare they! None of them deserved this fate. Ugh! I am so upset. How could Sombra and Chrysalis do this?! Why!?" yelled Fluttershy
Discord replied.
"They are heartless monsters. That's why."
Suddenly, Celestia walks over to Twilight and Mario.
"You two. Twilight and Mario. We need more of an army. Why don't you go to Avalon, one of the Equestrian colonies, and recruit the Avali army? The army there is very powerful. It's the only way we can win this for sure." said Celestia,
"We'll gladly do it." said the Prince
"Yes. We will." said Twilight
"Good. You may have to encounter King Josiah and his daughter, Princess Kina. There may be a great challenge that you have to overcome in order for you to get their army. I would suggest being very careful." said Celestia
Both the Prince himself and the Princess of Friendship nod.
They prepare to leave the streets of Ponyville behind for Avalon.
—
Three people around Mario The Sonic Plush's age are wandering the streets of Equestria.
A fox named Shenlong (who previously went by the undercover name of "Tails Boy"), a girl named Amy Kinyu, and a echidna/human guy named Knux the Knuckles Doll.
"Knux the Knuckles Doll" also known by his real name, Micah Calloway, has spiky, dread-like hair down to his back. His coloring is a shade of maroon. He has dark skin, typically his muzzle. He has a short beard that looks like a Billy goat. He looks similar to Knuckles from the Sonic series
Amy Kinyu, also known by her full name, Ameila Brittney Kinyu, has bright pink hair. She has very pale skin. She wears a black sports bra, black leggings with holes in them. She also has a red jacket on her.
They suddenly stumble upon the entire war. The battle that is being fought. Dead bodies all around.
Shenlong, Knux and Amy Kinyu are all mortified.
Shenlong keeps shaking the deceased body of Kit.
"This is horrible!" yelled Shenlong, "None of them deserved this."
Amy K nods, in agreement. Knux crosses his arms, with a furious expression on his face.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go help them. Our old friend Mario needs more help than ever!" said Knux
"YES!" yelled out Amy K
The three run towards the battlefield, and they suddenly see King Sombra rising back up again in his shadow form.
Sombra looks deviously at the trio.
Shenlong, Knux and Amy K get furious.
—
On Avalon, Twilight and Mario are walking through a mystical and tall forest. Few sounds of exotic creatures can be heard throughout. Such as an alien panda, who is chomping on a bamboo stick. Otherwise, it is relatively quiet. After a while of walking, the two lie down and rest.
"We've been walking for so long. Where is the Imperial City? Did we miss it?" Mario said, sighing.
"I know right? My feet have been killing me." Twilight said.
In the foggy distance, a shadow of a stranger carrying a basket of foodstuffs on his back, with a tall straw hat on his head and a long wooden pipe in his mouth is whistling a strange, yet soothing tune. When he approaches closer to them, Mario and Twilight can see his feathers have greyed. He has a mysterious look in his eyes. He stops walking. For a while, Mario and Twilight are confused. Mario breaks the silence by asking, "Sir. Do you know a way to the Imperial City?"
He looks down at them, and points his finger to the north, not saying a word. He then proceeds to carry on with his basket of food, whistling the same tune.
"Weird." said Twilight.
"Dammit. We've been heading north all this time. Isn't there a nearby village to rest? I'm hungry." said Mario, with his stomach growling.
So, after proceeding on foot for quite awhile, they finally see a small yet peaceful village. It is approaching nighttime on this planet, so all the lights have been cut on, with fires serving as lamp posts.
"Why does this remind me of ancient China?" asked Mario, noticing that the buildings look strangely similar.
"Dunno." replied Twilight.
They hear a group of young children playing with a white ball (like soccer) but then an older man tells them to get inside for dinner. The word "dinner" made Mario's stomach growl even more.
An old lady is sitting on a chair knitting traditional robes when she looks up for a split second to see two strange fellows. Ones we know of, but foreign to them. She says something to them in Avali. Mario and Twilight shake their heads as they have no clue what she just said.
"I'm sorry, we don't speak Avali." Mario said. The old lady nodded as if she understood. She then speaks, but this time in English.
"You two look tired, and I presume you are hungry as well. Do you want to come inside?"
Mario and Twilight look at eachother, then look back at the lady. "Well, sure. We'd love to. And plus, I'm starving." Mario replied.
"My grandson Kade makes very good dumplings. I'm sure you'll both enjoy them."
"Yummy!" said Twilight.
The two go inside, and are asked to sit down as hot tea is being poured over cups. Mario and Twilight take a few sips of the tea. They notice it doesn't taste like any tea they've ever had.
Kade's two sisters, Jai and Lela, are sitting on an opposite couch, watching the two strangers. They think Mario is cute. Mario notices them giggling at him.
"Wow." MTSP blushes. Twilight then says, "Well, they seem to be some of your biggest fans." and chuckles a little.
Kade walks through the door out of the kitchen with a plate of assorted dumplings, with different flavors. He notices Mario and Twilight sitting on a couch. "So, the Prince of Equestria has come to try my world famous dumplings, eh?" Jai and Lela laughed a little at what Kade said.
"Yup. You bet!" Mario said smiling. He smelled the aroma of the dumplings and it made his mouth water. Twilight's mouth included. When Kade set the dumplings on the table, with different sauces, Mario, Twilight, Jai, Lela and Kade began to dig in, along with his sweet grandmother. While eating, the six began sharing stories and topics with eachother, laughing here and there.
Then it was time for Kade to clean up all the dishes. His grandmother smiled at Mario and Twilight. "You know, you two have been wonderful guests tonight. Why don't you sleep here for the night? Then you can head off to your adventure tomorrow."
"Sure thing. We're tired anyway." Twilight said, sleepy eyed. Mario yawned.
The next day, Mario and Twilight hop out of bed. They brush their teeth, wave goodbye to the sweet family, and head off to get to the Imperial City. They could tell they were approaching, because in the distance, there were tall golden temples, and pink flower trees began to take over the forest.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace, which was the biggest, tallest, and widest in the whole city, Princess Kina looks at the city and its people below from a balcony. She takes in the fresh air and sighs peacefully. She is wearing a beautiful kimono with a tiny umbrella tucked in her feathered head. Then she begins to drift off and wonder what life is like outside of being a princess. She dreams of leading strong armies and exploring the outside world.
Her thoughts are interrupted by Sergeant Sekiro rushing to her to deliver some news. Kina sighs. "What is it?"
"It appears the Prince of Equestria is heading this way. This has never happened in many years! The last prince who came to visit us was many, many years ago." Sekiro said, sounding all excited.
"Alright, I get it. Though, what I don't really miss is everyone making a scene out of it." Kina says, tightening some of her loose hair.
"Aw, come on, princess, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. This day is like what the 4th of July is to Americans." Sekiro said.
"I don't really think you can compare some small event to one like this." She said, yawning.
Later on, as Mario and Twilight proceed to the pearly gates of the city, they see everyone, even the whole royal family, literally waiting for them. "Wow. I really am that famous here." Mario said, amazed. "Duh, that's because Avalon is an Equestrian colony." Twilight replied.
Princess Kina looks at Prince Mario. She suddenly seems a bit attracted to him. "Wow….he has absolutely no right to be this hot." Kina, thinking in her head. Sekiro snaps her attention as a parade welcoming the Prince of Equestria is about to begin. There are fireworks going off in the air, and loud, cheery music playing as everyone is welcoming Prince Mario.
"Hehehe, well, thank you everyone." Mario says, smiling and blushing.
Suddenly, King Josiah III steps out of the large, royal throne that his servants have been lifting without breaking a single sweat.
"So, famed Prince of Equestria, what is it that brings you here to our lands?" He said, staring down at the hedgehog.
"Your Highness. I have come here, along with Twilight, to inform you that we, the people of Equestria, need your help on an urgent matter." He says, bowing along with Twilight.
"And…what might that be?" The king asks. Prince Mario takes a deep breath. "It seems that King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis's armies have been destroying innocent towns left and right, with our own armies suffering major casualties. It seems that even with help from other heroes, it still isn't enough to take them all down. I, as the representative of the whole of Equestria, am urging you to consider taking your armies over to Canterlot to form a large defensive line that will stop the evil armies from completely taking over our world."
"Hmmmm….." The king strokes his chin. "If your armies aren't even strong enough to hold off Sombra and Chrysalis's armies, then how could you possibly believe we would be enough to do the job?"
"As I said, it will take more than just our armies, and other heroes, to defeat them. It has to be a coordinated effort between all of us, right now, to stop them. All we ask for is you to defend our land and our people. We will be more than grateful if you help us."
The king sits back on his throne, and thinks for a while. "Alright. You will have my finest men forming a strong perimeter around Canterlot. However, in return, you must help us fight rival clans in the future."
"We have a deal. We can never thank you enough for this." Prince Mario said, smiling.
The whole crowd surrounding the prince and the royal family begin to cheer.
"This will be great!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Yeah, tell me about it." Mario said, hugging Twilight.
Princess Kina looks like she is about to walk right towards the prince's face, but Sekiro backs her away. "Don't cause a scene, please."
"Ugh. I just wanted to talk to him!" She said,
"Well it seemed like you were about to flirt with him." Sekiro replies. Kina's whole face becomes as red as a tomato.
Suddenly…
"YOU EQUESTRIANS NEED TO GO BACK HOME!" A grumpy old Avali shouted. Everyone gasps.
"Wha?" Twilight said, shocked.
"You…you think you can just own us, and then dare to ask for help." He said, spitting on the ground.
"Yuck." Mario said. "What's your problem?"
"My problem is, is when some stupid ponies have the audacity to claim us as their own, being a puppet for them, and when we are attacked by rival clans or other outsiders, they do NOT show up to help! Then they have the nerve to ask US to help them, when they have never shown help to US in the first place. Damn you. We should've kicked you out of our lands a long time ago. We will NO LONGER be talked to by some dreaded, annoying, talking, colorful ponies! And especially not some weird looking hedgehog thing who calls himself a PRINCE!"
Everyone gasps. Twilight gets pissed. "You think you can say that to us? You're not helping one bit, as far as I know. And leave the damn prince alone. He did nothing wrong!"
"HA! HE DID NOTHING WRONG, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DO A DAMN THING AT ALL!" the old man shouts.
"Shut the hell up!" Princess Kina shouts. "You think you can talk down to the prince of Equestria like that? You have no shame!"
"Woah…the way she said it…does she have a secret crush on me, too?" Mario thinks.
"EH YADDA YADDA! I say we kick this stupid prince and his lover out of the whole planet." The old man shouts.
"Wait? He already has someone he loves? No…my dream…" Kina thinks to herself, nervous.
"I think it's time for the guards to escort this crippled old fart outta here." Mario said.
The king's guards follow his command actually and put the old man in cuffs. They were about to, anyway.
"Well, that was rough." Twilight said.
So, afterwards, a feast is held to support Prince Mario and Twilight for being faithful heroes. Later on, they both wave goodbye to everyone and the royal family, and Princess Kina blows a kiss at Mario, causing him to blush. But King Josiah III stops them.
"Actually, you two, I need you to do atleast something for me."
"What's that?" Mario asks.
"I need you both to prove that you can handle my army. It will serve as a test of our strength." King Josiah says.
"Um, Okay." Twilight replied.
—
At a large dojo is where the 55th Battalion, "Fire Guards" are training and competing. Mario and Twilight are in awe of these bulky soldiers training using firebending techniques. Commander Jehrai welcomes them.
"This is where you are going to prove yourself worthy of leading us."
In the center of the dojo is a ring of fire. Soldiers are able to draw energy from this fire and channel it into their palms to bend the fire. An old man watches them carefully, noticing if they make mistakes. He smokes from his pipe, and doesn't utter a word.
A bell rings. Everyone stops. Jehrai leads Mario and Twilight to the center ring. The soldiers gather near the ring like a PPV event. "The Prince of Equestria, along with the Princess of Equestria is going to face a tough challenge right here in our very home. They will go through a set of obstacles that will truly test their courageousness and determination. Should they pass, they will be more than worthy to lead my men into the fray. But, should they fail, they shall serve 2 years of active duty regardless of their nationality. No questions? Good. Let's begin."
Mario and Twilight are nervous as they have to face the first obstacle: Climbing through a rock wall, but with bottles falling every now and then. "I thought we were just gonna train with them." Twilight said, nervous.
"I'm scared of what comes next." Mario said, gulping.
Men on top push bottles off the roof of the wall to try and push Mario and Twilight off balance. However with the teamwork from these two, they are able to successfully climb up top.
Prince of Equestria
Chapter 35- No end in sight
Mario The Sonic Plush's POV
Suddenly, as I am in the presence of Princess Celestia, my teacher, a bright yellow light comes flashing through my eyes as I watch the entire battle continue. My brain somehow uncovers new memories. Memories that I never knew I had before.
My eyes just woke up, on the ground. I could barely even move.
(Flashback, ten years ago)
December 16, 2011.
Suddenly, a white tall alicorn with a flowing mane, wings and a crown on her head appeared to me.
Sugar Pop noticed the alicorn.
"Hello," said Sugar Pop.
"I actually have known about you, Mario, since you were born. Anyways; I'm Princess Celestia. Right now, you are in Equestria. Welcome!" said Princess Celestia.
My mouth opens so wide. I was shocked.
"…Equestria?"
Sugar Pop was also shocked.
"Equestria?"
Celestia nods.
"Yes."
"Wow. This place looks beautiful! It's so much better than back home on Earth!" I exclaimed.
(Back to the present)
Wait a second…?
Is that me? With my old friend Sugar Pop? As kids? It looks like we were in Equestria. I am so confused right now.
(flashback to December 16, 2011)
Me, Sugar Pop and Celestia then reach Canterlot.
"Wow!" I yelled out, as me and Sugar Pop's mouths have opened wide.
A whole entire castle is seen through our eyes.
"No way!" yelled out Sugar Pop.
Celestia nods.
"What is this?" I asked.
"This is Canterlot. It's the capital of Equestria" Princess Celestia explained.
Suddenly, a new, constructing statue of ME was right beside the castle, in its concept stages waiting to be built.
"What's this? Is this a statue of me? Why?" I asked a bunch of questions to Celestia.
"I can't quite tell you why...not yet, but yes, this is a statue of you that is currently being built. In ten years, you will be playing an important role in all of Equestria, embracing who you truly are." Celestia explained.
Princess Celestia teleported us to many different places all over Equestria, until she teleported us over to Ponyville.
Me and Sugar Pop read a sign that says: "Welcome to Ponyville".
"Ponyville, eh?" I said
Princess Celestia nods.
"Mhmm."
"Wow. This looks much cleaner than back home" said Sugar Pop.
"I know right?" I said, agreeing with her.
I saw a pretty girl walk by. A little filly, a lavender purple unicorn with a blue & pink and dark purple stripes mane. She's reading a book, and she had a little baby dragon right by her. Her older brother, a blue maned, white stallion was right there with her as well. Her brother didn't look too bad but I was never attracted to him.
The girl interested me so much more.
I blushed at the girl
Sugar Pop whispered in my ear.
"Mario, boy. Go talk to her. I know you have feelings for that girl." said Sugar Pop.
I break out into sweats, feeling all nervous as I approached her.
"H-hi." I said, as I stuttered.
The girl giggles.
"You're cute." she said.
"...Really?" I asked, surprised that she said that.
"Yes" she said, then she began to introduce herself "Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?" she asked.
"I'm Mario Rodriguz, but I hate my last name, so just call me 'Mario the Sonic Plush'. Nice to meet you" I said.
"Nice to meet you too. Hey, me, Spike and Shining are going to Sugarcube Corner. You can come with us," said Twilight.
I turned over to Sugar Pop and Princess Celestia, as I was about to ask them, but I didn't have to.
"Of course, you can come with them, my child. It'll be a great way to make another friend and spend time with someone" said Celestia.
"Ugh. What a crazy dream. I dreamt that I arrived in a land called 'Equestria' with all these talking, colorful ponies and ruled by a Princess (who should be called Queen by now but whatever). We took a tour of the entire land. I even fell in love with a purple unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. This was one of the best dreams I have ever had in a long time!" I raved all about it to my friends.
"Mario...Sugar Pop.. you guys are back." Eliza said, with tears coming down her eyes.
Eliza runs up and hugs both me & Sugar Pop.
She hugged me like she hadn't seen me in a while.
"It's great to see you two again. We thought you were goners". said Ner-Rac
"Mario...you have NO IDEA how worried I was. And Sugar Pop, don't run off with him ever again!" yelled Eliza.
"It wasn't even our fault that we were teleported." said Sugar Pop.
I sat there, confused, thinking to myself.
"Huh? Teleported? What?!!" I thought. I was thinking Sugar Pop was joking. However, the expressions on my friends' faces told me it was serious.
Mrs. Rammings was there, staring at me.
"You have no idea..." she muttered.
Mrs. Rammings walked off.
Darn it Celestia! I remember all of this now.
(January 24, 2012)
On one of my trips to Equestria that day, I got new powers. A supersonic wind attack for one. Chaos magic blast is another.
I kept on training these powers, and Celestia had watched me use them. She was impressed.
"Good job, Mario. You have been getting stronger and mastering your powers. They can be used for good one day." said Celestia
I lit up with a smile.
"R-really?"
Celestia nods.
However, these powers somehow remained with me back on Earth.
Of course, I didn't know how that happened.
Back home, in the hallways, I unintentionally used a powerful, supersonic wind.
Of course, I was confused.
"Wait a second? That's weird. Where did that come from? HUH?"
(Present day)
I've just about had it! I really have had it! I do not care anymore. I don't care about being the Prince of Equestria. I don't care about being a badass. I don't care if I live to see the day where everything is peaceful again.
The fact is that Princess Celestia was always there, watching me all my life. She lied to me. She never told me she was Mrs. Rammings. That she was my teacher, all along. It's like she planned everything behind my back. Not just my back but also Twilight and the rest of the Mane six's backs as well.
I watched in horror as I saw Anti-Mario being killed by Queen Chrysalis. Then, Lord Zarkiar betrays us and joins King Sombra. He and his pathetic army all joined forces with the tyrannical "king". Celestia never did anything about it. She never cared about any of us. Anti-Mario's life could have been saved. It was her fault that he was killed by Chrysalis herself!
I know what I had to do.
I glare at Celestia and proceed to question her.
My allies watch in shock.
"YOUU!" I snapped, "You planned everything, didn't you?! You lied to me, about every single little thing."
Celestia sighs.
"I did not want to let you know the truth until you were ready. You were not ready yet." Celestia said,
(NO POV)
King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Lord Zarkiar, along with their armies are all watching in shock.
"Wow. Who knew the Prince of Equestria had a backbone?" asked Zarkiar
King Sombra nods, with a grin on his face and licking his lips. He enjoys the chaos.
"Oooh. Delicious power." said Sombra
"How shocking! Too bad though. He would have been the perfect asset for us, ever since I killed that pathetic child" said Chrysalis
MTSP is livid and continues to yell at Celestia.
"Excuse ME?! How. Dare. You. I was ready a long time ago. I could have known everything much sooner. I shouldn't have had to deal with being ABUSED on Earth for so long, by my dear old father or these bullies at school. But no. You let me live half my life in HELL! You could have let me stay in Equestria. I should have been allowed to live here. I am convinced that you wanted me to suffer. You secretly did. You planned for me to be crowned as the Prince of Equestria in the future, and so, you have allowed me to suffer on Earth, the planet I thought I was born on. That's why you removed my past memories of ever being at Equestria!" he yelled.
"B-but I only wanted to protect you." said Celestia,
"Protect me? Ha! What a pathetic excuse. Have you ever been abused in your life before? All by a man or woman that should truly love you as their child? I bet you have not and that you lived a wonderful, privileged life, with your sister Luna and your parents. The King and Queen of Equestria. They all loved you. Before I met Twilight and Rarity, the only people who loved me were my mother and the friends I had over the years. That's it.
You know what, old lady? I was wrong about you. You are insane. Being the Prince of Equestria is no honor. It's a curse. I bet you set up this whole war. Every villain I ever fought, everything, was probably set up all by you so you and Luna did not have to do the work! I will take it back. You are not just insane. You. Are. A. MONSTER! A heartless monster. That's what you are. Now, thanks to you, there is an all out WAR. Lives are being lost. My little brother, Anti-Mario, died because of Queen Chrysalis killing him. Yet you don't care. You think he deserved being a pawn for her?"
Rainbow flies towards MTSP and yells at him. She defends Princess Celestia
"How dare YOU speak that way to the princess?!" yelled Rainbow
"Rainbow. Shut up. Your pride is your weakness. You are mad because your all mighty ruler isn't perfect and is capable of making mistakes! Also, you don't have a clue what I went through, future Wonderbolt!" yelled MTSP
Celestia gasps in shock. One of her pupils criticizing her?
First, she contemplates sending him to the moon but that would actually be too cruel so she shoots that idea down, especially since he is a hero. Plus she doesn't want to face Luna's wrath.
However, she senses that the prince may have a point, despite the harsh way he put it.
"Now. Start talking and I will let you go." said the Prince
"I-I'm sorry. I am sorry for what I had put you through. Looking at your words, I now think it was not fair. I did not know what was going on and I thought you would have been much safer on Earth. I was wrong." said Celestia, apologizing, "However. To tell you the truth, I never really intentionally started these conflicts. The villains did it themselves, and while I could have joined in instead of leaving it up to the six ponies and now you guys, I wanted you all to prove yourselves. Prove that you can handle conflicts and challenges. Figure them out yourselves. Independence is essential.
The way I handled this however, wasn't the best. If we helped you guys out in the beginning, maybe certain things could have been prevented. Me and Luna have been there to help out more. Tell you what? Starting now, me and Luna will join you, Twilight and all heroes in your fights."
Mario The Sonic Plush breathes. He lets out a small smile. Tears are dripping from his bruised face.
"R-really? You. Mean it?" he asked
"Yes." Celestia said, as she nodded.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. R-I mean, Princess Celestia. I don't care what you are or where you came from. You are still my favorite teacher."
The prince said this with a smile and he let her go. Celestia and Luna decide to both join in the war.
However, the prince is still conflicted. King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis are unstoppable. Now with Lord Zarkiar and his army on their side, things are becoming way more difficult.
He growls at the three villains.
"I'd admit. We were impressed with the way you almost destroyed Princess Celestia. However, that was thrown out of the window. How very disappointing." said King Sombra
"You could have been with us! You would have been supreme! Greater than Anti-Mario" said Queen Chrysalis,
"You could have been my true successor all along if you just destroyed her." said Lord Zarkiar, in disgust
"But I didn't, did I? No. Unlike you three, I have way more class." retorted MTSP
Zarkiar then smirks.
"Try me."
He shoots out lasers from his hands, and aims them towards the Prince.
"Heh. Zarkiar, you are going to have to do better than that!" yelled out MTSP
The Prince uses his supersonic wave attack against him, causing Zarkiar to pass out.
"COME ON! LET'S GO ATTACK THEM!" yelled out Commander Rengo.
"Yeah!" all of Zarkiar's army shouted.
Suddenly, Zarkiar's army charges up ahead. The big hippopotamus, Commander Rengo commands the army to go ahead and attacks MTSP, Discord, Fluttershy, Eliza, Blackbiter, Rarity, Trixie and Pinkie while they were not looking.
Twilight is pissed.
"Ugh! None of us have a chance now. We're toast." she said
"I know…" said MTSP, weakly
Discord suddenly gets up and snaps his fingers. He electrocutes Commander Rengo.
The draconequus smirks.
"That'll show him." Discord said
Pinkie smirks.
"Alright, I am going to get the party cannon." said Pinkie
Pinkie rushes over to get the party cannon and then back.
"Zarkiar, you are one bad man. Here's a taste of confetti. Whipped Cream." said Pinkie
Lord Zarkiar is confused by this remark while Sombra and Chrysalis groan in annoyance.
Pinkie shoots confetti and whipped cream at Lord Zarkiar.
The whipped cream is actually burning like flames, in Zarkiar's face.
"Ow-Ow-Ow!" Zarkiar yelped in pain
His mask slightly melts off a bit, once again, revealing a disfigured, older man with an eyepatch, one that actually looks quite a bit like Freddy Kruger, while half of his mask on the left is still there.
"I can't believe it. Is this what I had to resort to? Being outsmarted by an annoying PINK HORSE?!" yelled Zarkiar
Blackbiter Flynn tries to get through to Commander Rengo.
"Kid, if you are going to try to kill me, it won't work. Give it up!" shouted Rengo
"HAYAH!" yelled Blackbiter, as he stabs Rengo in the chest with his sword.
Commander Rengo growls.
Spike breathes a giant ball of green fire from his mouth (cause he's a dragon duh)
It blinds Com. Rengo.
"What?! No! No! Stop this now!" yelled Rengo
Spike doesn't listen, and just keeps breathing the green fire.
Suddenly. Rengo screams and vanishes, leaving only a skeleton
"Woah. Spike! You really have gotten stronger! I am so proud of you!" Twilight exclaimed
Spike blushes and giggles.
"Heh. I told you so!" he said,
Zarkiar is mortified.
"Nooo! My dear commander is gone! What!? How is this possible!" yelled Zarkiar
Zarkiar decided to direct his attack and anger towards Spike.
"You pathetic dragon! You will pay for this…" said Zarkiar
"Oh yeah? Do it then." said Spike
Lord Zarkiar breathes.
His eye parts on the mask glow more green with purple smoke coming from the sides of his mask.
He concentrates as he begins to summon a dark energy. Black, dark smoke coming from his right hand. It creates a whirlpool.
"Any last words, before I kill you, Spike?" asked Zarkiar
Spike grits his teeth.
"Nothing? Okay then. Die!" yelled out Zarkiar
Zarkiar's dark, smoke whirlpool is aimed directly at Spike. Spike screams.
"No! Spikey Wikey!" yelled out Rarity
Every one of the allies are all in shock and horror.
Magellan is shaken by the experience since it just brings him back to when he served in the Korean War.
"…" Magellan is silent,
"Wow! Spike is a goner! Oh and Grandpa! Are you okay?!" asked MTSP, as he shook his grandfather.
Magellan hugs his grandson.
"Look. I'm fine. It's just. This just brings back painful memories from my Korean War days and to see such a little young dragon suffer like that…I can't imagine." Magellan said
The prince just backs away from the hug.
"I know" he replied, "I have seen way too much suffering in my life as well..."
Twilight grits her teeth. She lets tears come out of her eyes. She decides to do something about it.
She decides to fly up high, and save her son.
She looks down at Spike who has passed out. Twilight is all the way up in the sky. With her horn, Twilight levitates and picks up Spike from the ground.
Twilight grabs a hold of Spike and saves him before he can get killed. She flies off with him.
Lord Zarkiar thinks he did it.
"Yes. I finally did it. I killed a pathetic hero. Now, I can continue to take it all over."
Zarkiar laughs.
However, as the dark smoke vanishes, it reveals Twilight and Spike. Not severely harmed at all.
"W-what?! How is this possible?! He should have been dead!" Zarkiar exclaimed in shock
"I saved his life. Face it, you may think you are all tough but I can easily stop you." said Twilight
King Sombra is shocked. He turns to Queen Chrysalis.
Sombra comments
"I don't believe it. She really has been taught by Celestia as well. Why else would she possess this type of power?"
Chrysalis looks at Sombra
"I must admit, she is very smart. She was able to catch up on what I was planning at the wedding before everypony else did." said Chrysalis,
Zarkiar growls at Twilight and Spike in anger.
"You will pay for this…" muttered Zarkiar
—-
Eliza smirks. She becomes her super powered self again, with a powerful light aura around her, blue hair, while growing fangs & claws like a vampire.
With her claws, she slices through and finishes off Zarkiar's entire army.
"How about that, Zarkiar." Eliza retorted
Zarkiar is pissed off.
He sighs. He is about to be defeated again.
His expression changes into a smirk and chuckles.
"We will see about that. I shall unleash my ultimate transformation." Zarkiar said
All of our heroes are confused, especially the Prince.
"Huh? What 'ultimate transformation'?" Mario The Sonic Plush asked, in confusion
Zarkiar undergoes his transformation. His normal human body begins to dissolve, into an invisible body. His mask and suit are replaced with a white, ghostly form of his unmasked self. His peach skin is not disfigured.
He laughs. He has transformed into the Ghost of Akio Yusa, also known as, The Ghost Akiyo (A/N This form of Zarkiar's also appeared in Prince of Equestria: Spooky Ooky)
He laughs.
"Wait a minute. You're also the ghost that terrorized us at the Halloween party and placed a spell on the other spooky creatures!" yelled Trixie
"Correct, my friend. In addition to being Lord Zarkiar, I am also the one I'd call, 'The Ghost Akiyo'. Akio Yusa, the billionaire founder of Mega Corp, operates under three single identities. You saw two of them." Akio/Akiyo said
"You mean. The ghost I have also been encountering all these years is also Lord Zarkiar himself? I knew he had to have looked familiar but wow." The prince said, in shock.
"Yup. When Trixie went to cut me up with her magic trick, I was never truly destroyed. I simply cheated my way out, and changed back out of my ghost form. It was a neat little trick I developed. It seemed to work well. And guess what, you all? In my ghost form, I am unstoppable. You will all be destroyed!" said Akio/Akiyo
Thanks to Sombra's dark magic, Akiyo powers and form are all merging with that of his other identity, Lord Zarkiar.
He is growing stronger and gaining more energy. He begins to look much more disfigured, and screwed up, while still in his ghost form.
King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis both clap. The two villains cheer for Zarkiar/Akio/Akiyo to attack.
"Yes! This is what we want. Then, we will finish them all off ourselves once Zarkiar is done with his assault." said Sombra
"Victory is sweet." said Chrysalis
"This is my wrath to those who have tried to stop me. Time and time again…" muttered Akiyo/Akio/Zarkiar
Kit mumbles. He tries to get up.
"I did not see this coming…" muttered Kit
Kit can not get up. He passes out on the ground.
"Ugh. We are screwed." said Fluttershy
"Ugh. This is going to get ugly." said Rainbow
"Don't worry, guys. We will find a way to stop him, just like we will with Sombra and Chrysalis" said Mario
"B-but how? Zarkiar's ghost is clearly unstoppable." said Discord
"We are going to figure this out. Just calm down! We shall not give up and we shall win this war!" yelled out Blackbiter
"Exactly!" shouted Twilight
Sombra, Chrysalis and Akiyo glare at all the heroes.
"I suggest you all give up. Your time is up." said King Sombra
"Face it! Your chances of winning are slim to none. You minus well quit." said Queen Chrysalis
Akiyo just smirks.
Magellan just watches the whole war go on. He stares at the whole thing, with shock and horror on his aged face.
—-
Kit is trying to get himself up off the ground to attack King Sombra who is approaching him.
However, one of Sombra's guards walks up towards him. He then locks Kit's legs in chains on the ground so he can't escape. He is trapped.
"What are you doing to me?! I don't deserve this!" yelled Kit
The guard refuses to answer and leaves the scene.
—
The others are watching the scene occur.
"Shoot! Kit is kidnapped." said the Prince,
"Oh no." said Eliza, "Well. I am going to go save him! You guys stay there and handle these guys."
"Good luck." said Rarity,
Eliza goes to where Kit is to save him.
Atirik decides to comment.
"If we are going to be able to stop these guys, we will have to use our powers to the fullest extent."
"Right." said Blackbiter
Mario, Twilight and co (save for Eliza of course) all agree.
Atrik then transforms into his physical body form.
Atirik smirks at Chrysalis.
"Get ready. I am about to put a stop to this and send you straight to the depths of hell where you belong." Atirik said,
Queen Chrysalis laughs.
"Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it? Face it, I am way stronger than you, pharaoh."
Atirik chuckles.
Atirik strikes a blue bolt. A much more powerful and deadlier one than last time. He aims it towards Chrysalis.
The changeling Queen is frightened by it. She's shaking.
Atirik throws the bolt at her, killing her in the process.
"Alright! Yes! One less enemy we have to deal with!" said Atirik, cheering
"Woooo. You go, man!" Mario The Sonic Plush said, cheering.
The Prince, Twilight and all the others cheer for Atirik's victory against Chrysalis.
However, the victory doesn't last.
A pair of black hooves with the hive holes that look like Swiss cheese emerges, and throws Atirik.
Queen Chrysalis survived the attack.
"What?!" yelled Atirik
Chrysalis smirks.
"You'd think a pathetic attack would kill me in the slightest? You're wrong!" shouted Chrysalis
"Ugh. This sucks." Applejack
"I know, Applejack. It really does." said Eliza
"Come on! Don't give up. You have it in you!" shouted Celestia
Luna agrees with her sister.
—-
King Sombra himself comes closer to Kit, who is still on the ground, locked in chains.
He stomps on him.
"Ow!" screamed Kit
"This is my revenge on you for what you did to me." said Sombra, "Your worthless life is about to end."
"No! No! Nooooo!" screamed Kit
King Sombra laughs.
Kit is about to attack Sombra but Sombra blocks it. Kit coughs.
Kit refuses to respond.
Eliza arrives at the scene. She is in shock and horror of what the tyrant is about to do to her boyfriend.
"Don't worry, Kit. I am going to save you." said Eliza
Kit looks up to his girlfriend.
"Eliza…" he said
Eliza charges and tries to break the chains off of him. Unfortunately, King Sombra stops her and knocks her out.
"What did you do to Eliza?!" yelled Kit
Sombra smirks.
"Alright. Time to eliberate you. Goodbye." said Sombra
"Oh no.." Eliza said, weakly.
Sombra assaults Kit more. He keeps banging Kit's almost lifeless body hard to the ground. He has no strength or energy left. Eliza is forced to watch this in horror as Sombra leads Kit to his death.
Kit chokes. He passes out, on the ground. His heart stops.
"I am sorry to say this, vampire, but it looks like your dear boyfriend is dead. I hope you are happy about this. This is what happens when someone refuses to defy me." said Sombra,
Kit has been pronounced dead. Killed by King Sombra.
Eliza gets up. Her eyes glowing dark green.
"You…monster!" yelled Eliza, as tears come down her eyes
—-
The others have watched the scene go on.
"Everyone. I am sorry to say this, but Kit is dead. He's gone." said Mario
Everyone screams in horror as they see Kit's dead body, Eliza, and Sombra's laughing.
Even Celestia and Luna show emotion.
"This is awful! What a monster." said Twilight, "I won't forgive him for this."
"Me neither." said Fluttershy, "I am usually very forgiving, just look at Discord, but King Sombra gets no forgiveness from me. Not after he just killed Kit! He is nothing but a heartless monster!"
"First Anti-Mario is gone, now Kit. I hope one of us is not next." said Rainbow
"Me neither. The last thing we need is more of us to die." said Blackbiter, "Just like what happened to my younger sister."
Unfortunately, the prince is not in a good mood. Tears are dripping down from his eyes. He can't believe everything is happening to and around him. All at once.
He starts to yell and scream. He gets so much emotional.
"Why! Why! Just why!? Why is everything going wrong?! We are all doomed and it's all your fault! I hope you are happy, Celestia! Everything is dying and we all won't make it!"
The Prince throws a severe meltdown. It leaves almost everyone (except Eliza & Blackbiter in shock.
Twilight & Rarity are the most surprised. Out of all the times they have seen MTSP; they have not seen him act this way.
After he calms down a little, he is met with bewildered reactions from Twilight and Rarity
"Mario. What's going on with you? I haven't seen you react this way over anything." said Twilight
"Darling. Please, do tell us what's going on." said Rarity
The prince sighs.
"Well, I was going to tell you two eventually.. The thing is. I tried so hard to hide that part of myself, because I was afraid that if I let it out, accidentally, you would not love me anymore. The truth is that I have Autism. It's a severe form of it. This form also causes meltdowns like you see here. It's probably one of the reasons why my dad does not like me. I guess I was never meant to be here." he said
All suddenly rally around him, in support, making him shocked that nobody ever thinks of him differently.
"Mario, honey. Thank you for letting us know. I don't think you are bad. Not at all. You are the kindest, nicest, sweetest, caring, heroic, down to earth guy I have ever met in my life. I am actually happy I found you way back when. One meltdown is not going to change that." said Twilight
Rarity nods in agreement.
Both Twilight & Rarity kiss him, making everyone stand in awe.
"Thank you…everyone." he said, with a smirk, "I shall make all of Equestria proud!"
The prince gets back into his fighting spirit again.
—-
Eliza's super powered form increases. Her already light blue hair gets even longer almost to her skirt. Her dark green glowing eyes look deadly. Her claws grow bigger. Her fangs show more and more. Her hoodie starts to rip into bits and pieces. Her white bra is showing. Her skirt and her flats are the only other pieces of clothing showing
Sombra is shocked and in horror.
"Who are you!?" yelled Sombra
"King Sombra. I am your worst nightmare. That's who I am." said Eliza, "You can call me, Nightmare Eliza."
Eliza, in her new Nightmare Eliza form, with no mercy towards the tyrant, her boyfriend's killer, starts slicing Sombra with her claws. Then, she goes and punches him.
She knocks him out. Sombra will get up off the ground but for now, he's passed out.
"Enjoy yourself for a while, King Sombra." Eliza did, while smirking.
Eliza laughs as she walks back over to the others.
—-
Chrysalis sends out her Changeling to dispose of the civilians of Equestria. Drain them of their love and leave them to die.
Many lives are beginning to be lost. All of Equestria is screaming. In pain and horror as the nightmare just will not end.
Chrysalis and Sombra have sent out their armies to kill innocents left and right.
If this is not bad enough, some of the heroes have died too. Diane Pinkamena Pie AKA Pinkie is dead. She is very unrecognizable. Atirik's physical form has vanished. His spirit dies off, and all that's left is a statue of his pharaoh head.
Magellan looks at his grandson, the Prince in the eye,
"I am sorry but I can't continue to fight in this battle. I tried to help but I just can't bring myself to. Just be careful out there, my child." said Magellan, hugging the Prince
"I will…" he replied
Magellan runs off to his daughter, Lara, the Prince's mother and George. He can not take it anymore.
He tried to fight and help out in this war but could not. He endured suffering as a Korean War vet and he also endured just as much when his wife Keri Larfield, at the age of 79, was killed in front of him and their grandson, the Prince. So many post traumatic experiences in an old man.
—
Celestia and Luna are helping more than ever.
Applejack stares at Chrysalis.
"Alright, Chrysalis. You are going down!" yelled out Applejack.
Applejack goes to attack Chrysalis, by throwing apples at her.
It hits Chrysalis but not enough to damage her.
Chrysalis goes to her and chokes the cowgirl pony.
The evil Queen smirks.
"Perfect. Now I can kill you." she said
With no means of escaping, Applejack is in pain.
Chrysalis suddenly drains Applejack's love.
What is left of Applejack's remains is something completely unrecognizable.
Applejack is dead.
—
Fluttershy stares at all the dead, passed out bodies on the ground. She gets very angry. Tears are dripping down her eyes.
"How dare they! None of them deserved this fate. Ugh! I am so upset. How could Sombra and Chrysalis do this?! Why!?" yelled Fluttershy
Discord replied.
"They are heartless monsters. That's why."
Suddenly, Celestia walks over to Twilight and Mario.
"You two. Twilight and Mario. We need more of an army. Why don't you go to Avalon, one of the Equestrian colonies, and recruit the Avali army? The army there is very powerful. It's the only way we can win this for sure." said Celestia,
"We'll gladly do it." said the Prince
"Yes. We will." said Twilight
"Good. You may have to encounter King Josiah and his daughter, Princess Kina. There may be a great challenge that you have to overcome in order for you to get their army. I would suggest being very careful." said Celestia
Both the Prince himself and the Princess of Friendship nod.
They prepare to leave the streets of Ponyville behind for Avalon.
—
Three people around Mario The Sonic Plush's age are wandering the streets of Equestria.
A fox named Shenlong (who previously went by the undercover name of "Tails Boy"), a girl named Amy Kinyu, and a echidna/human guy named Knux the Knuckles Doll.
"Knux the Knuckles Doll" also known by his real name, Micah Calloway, has spiky, dread-like hair down to his back. His coloring is a shade of maroon. He has dark skin, typically his muzzle. He has a short beard that looks like a Billy goat. He looks similar to Knuckles from the Sonic series
Amy Kinyu, also known by her full name, Ameila Brittney Kinyu, has bright pink hair. She has very pale skin. She wears a black sports bra, black leggings with holes in them. She also has a red jacket on her.
They suddenly stumble upon the entire war. The battle that is being fought. Dead bodies all around.
Shenlong, Knux and Amy Kinyu are all mortified.
Shenlong keeps shaking the deceased body of Kit.
"This is horrible!" yelled Shenlong, "None of them deserved this."
Amy K nods, in agreement. Knux crosses his arms, with a furious expression on his face.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go help them. Our old friend Mario needs more help than ever!" said Knux
"YES!" yelled out Amy K
The three run towards the battlefield, and they suddenly see King Sombra rising back up again in his shadow form.
Sombra looks deviously at the trio.
Shenlong, Knux and Amy K get furious.
—
On Avalon, Twilight and Mario are walking through a mystical and tall forest. Few sounds of exotic creatures can be heard throughout. Such as an alien panda, who is chomping on a bamboo stick. Otherwise, it is relatively quiet. After a while of walking, the two lie down and rest.
"We've been walking for so long. Where is the Imperial City? Did we miss it?" Mario said, sighing.
"I know right? My feet have been killing me." Twilight said.
In the foggy distance, a shadow of a stranger carrying a basket of foodstuffs on his back, with a tall straw hat on his head and a long wooden pipe in his mouth is whistling a strange, yet soothing tune. When he approaches closer to them, Mario and Twilight can see his feathers have greyed. He has a mysterious look in his eyes. He stops walking. For a while, Mario and Twilight are confused. Mario breaks the silence by asking, "Sir. Do you know a way to the Imperial City?"
He looks down at them, and points his finger to the north, not saying a word. He then proceeds to carry on with his basket of food, whistling the same tune.
"Weird." said Twilight.
"Dammit. We've been heading north all this time. Isn't there a nearby village to rest? I'm hungry." said Mario, with his stomach growling.
So, after proceeding on foot for quite awhile, they finally see a small yet peaceful village. It is approaching nighttime on this planet, so all the lights have been cut on, with fires serving as lamp posts.
"Why does this remind me of ancient China?" asked Mario, noticing that the buildings look strangely similar.
"Dunno." replied Twilight.
They hear a group of young children playing with a white ball (like soccer) but then an older man tells them to get inside for dinner. The word "dinner" made Mario's stomach growl even more.
An old lady is sitting on a chair knitting traditional robes when she looks up for a split second to see two strange fellows. Ones we know of, but foreign to them. She says something to them in Avali. Mario and Twilight shake their heads as they have no clue what she just said.
"I'm sorry, we don't speak Avali." Mario said. The old lady nodded as if she understood. She then speaks, but this time in English.
"You two look tired, and I presume you are hungry as well. Do you want to come inside?"
Mario and Twilight look at eachother, then look back at the lady. "Well, sure. We'd love to. And plus, I'm starving." Mario replied.
"My grandson Kade makes very good dumplings. I'm sure you'll both enjoy them."
"Yummy!" said Twilight.
The two go inside, and are asked to sit down as hot tea is being poured over cups. Mario and Twilight take a few sips of the tea. They notice it doesn't taste like any tea they've ever had.
Kade's two sisters, Jai and Lela, are sitting on an opposite couch, watching the two strangers. They think Mario is cute. Mario notices them giggling at him.
"Wow." MTSP blushes. Twilight then says, "Well, they seem to be some of your biggest fans." and chuckles a little.
Kade walks through the door out of the kitchen with a plate of assorted dumplings, with different flavors. He notices Mario and Twilight sitting on a couch. "So, the Prince of Equestria has come to try my world famous dumplings, eh?" Jai and Lela laughed a little at what Kade said.
"Yup. You bet!" Mario said smiling. He smelled the aroma of the dumplings and it made his mouth water. Twilight's mouth included. When Kade set the dumplings on the table, with different sauces, Mario, Twilight, Jai, Lela and Kade began to dig in, along with his sweet grandmother. While eating, the six began sharing stories and topics with eachother, laughing here and there.
Then it was time for Kade to clean up all the dishes. His grandmother smiled at Mario and Twilight. "You know, you two have been wonderful guests tonight. Why don't you sleep here for the night? Then you can head off to your adventure tomorrow."
"Sure thing. We're tired anyway." Twilight said, sleepy eyed. Mario yawned.
The next day, Mario and Twilight hop out of bed. They brush their teeth, wave goodbye to the sweet family, and head off to get to the Imperial City. They could tell they were approaching, because in the distance, there were tall golden temples, and pink flower trees began to take over the forest.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace, which was the biggest, tallest, and widest in the whole city, Princess Kina looks at the city and its people below from a balcony. She takes in the fresh air and sighs peacefully. She is wearing a beautiful kimono with a tiny umbrella tucked in her feathered head. Then she begins to drift off and wonder what life is like outside of being a princess. She dreams of leading strong armies and exploring the outside world.
Her thoughts are interrupted by Sergeant Sekiro rushing to her to deliver some news. Kina sighs. "What is it?"
"It appears the Prince of Equestria is heading this way. This has never happened in many years! The last prince who came to visit us was many, many years ago." Sekiro said, sounding all excited.
"Alright, I get it. Though, what I don't really miss is everyone making a scene out of it." Kina says, tightening some of her loose hair.
"Aw, come on, princess, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. This day is like what the 4th of July is to Americans." Sekiro said.
"I don't really think you can compare some small event to one like this." She said, yawning.
Later on, as Mario and Twilight proceed to the pearly gates of the city, they see everyone, even the whole royal family, literally waiting for them. "Wow. I really am that famous here." Mario said, amazed. "Duh, that's because Avalon is an Equestrian colony." Twilight replied.
Princess Kina looks at Prince Mario. She suddenly seems a bit attracted to him. "Wow….he has absolutely no right to be this hot." Kina, thinking in her head. Sekiro snaps her attention as a parade welcoming the Prince of Equestria is about to begin. There are fireworks going off in the air, and loud, cheery music playing as everyone is welcoming Prince Mario.
"Hehehe, well, thank you everyone." Mario says, smiling and blushing.
Suddenly, King Josiah III steps out of the large, royal throne that his servants have been lifting without breaking a single sweat.
"So, famed Prince of Equestria, what is it that brings you here to our lands?" He said, staring down at the hedgehog.
"Your Highness. I have come here, along with Twilight, to inform you that we, the people of Equestria, need your help on an urgent matter." He says, bowing along with Twilight.
"And…what might that be?" The king asks. Prince Mario takes a deep breath. "It seems that King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis's armies have been destroying innocent towns left and right, with our own armies suffering major casualties. It seems that even with help from other heroes, it still isn't enough to take them all down. I, as the representative of the whole of Equestria, am urging you to consider taking your armies over to Canterlot to form a large defensive line that will stop the evil armies from completely taking over our world."
"Hmmmm….." The king strokes his chin. "If your armies aren't even strong enough to hold off Sombra and Chrysalis's armies, then how could you possibly believe we would be enough to do the job?"
"As I said, it will take more than just our armies, and other heroes, to defeat them. It has to be a coordinated effort between all of us, right now, to stop them. All we ask for is you to defend our land and our people. We will be more than grateful if you help us."
The king sits back on his throne, and thinks for a while. "Alright. You will have my finest men forming a strong perimeter around Canterlot. However, in return, you must help us fight rival clans in the future."
"We have a deal. We can never thank you enough for this." Prince Mario said, smiling.
The whole crowd surrounding the prince and the royal family begin to cheer.
"This will be great!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Yeah, tell me about it." Mario said, hugging Twilight.
Princess Kina looks like she is about to walk right towards the prince's face, but Sekiro backs her away. "Don't cause a scene, please."
"Ugh. I just wanted to talk to him!" She said,
"Well it seemed like you were about to flirt with him." Sekiro replies. Kina's whole face becomes as red as a tomato.
Suddenly…
"YOU EQUESTRIANS NEED TO GO BACK HOME!" A grumpy old Avali shouted. Everyone gasps.
"Wha?" Twilight said, shocked.
"You…you think you can just own us, and then dare to ask for help." He said, spitting on the ground.
"Yuck." Mario said. "What's your problem?"
"My problem is, is when some stupid ponies have the audacity to claim us as their own, being a puppet for them, and when we are attacked by rival clans or other outsiders, they do NOT show up to help! Then they have the nerve to ask US to help them, when they have never shown help to US in the first place. Damn you. We should've kicked you out of our lands a long time ago. We will NO LONGER be talked to by some dreaded, annoying, talking, colorful ponies! And especially not some weird looking hedgehog thing who calls himself a PRINCE!"
Everyone gasps. Twilight gets pissed. "You think you can say that to us? You're not helping one bit, as far as I know. And leave the damn prince alone. He did nothing wrong!"
"HA! HE DID NOTHING WRONG, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DO A DAMN THING AT ALL!" the old man shouts.
"Shut the hell up!" Princess Kina shouts. "You think you can talk down to the prince of Equestria like that? You have no shame!"
"Woah…the way she said it…does she have a secret crush on me, too?" Mario thinks.
"EH YADDA YADDA! I say we kick this stupid prince and his lover out of the whole planet." The old man shouts.
"Wait? He already has someone he loves? No…my dream…" Kina thinks to herself, nervous.
"I think it's time for the guards to escort this crippled old fart outta here." Mario said.
The king's guards follow his command actually and put the old man in cuffs. They were about to, anyway.
"Well, that was rough." Twilight said.
So, afterwards, a feast is held to support Prince Mario and Twilight for being faithful heroes. Later on, they both wave goodbye to everyone and the royal family, and Princess Kina blows a kiss at Mario, causing him to blush. But King Josiah III stops them.
"Actually, you two, I need you to do atleast something for me."
"What's that?" Mario asks.
"I need you both to prove that you can handle my army. It will serve as a test of our strength." King Josiah says.
"Um, Okay." Twilight replied.
—
At a large dojo is where the 55th Battalion, "Fire Guards" are training and competing. Mario and Twilight are in awe of these bulky soldiers training using firebending techniques. Commander Jehrai welcomes them.
"This is where you are going to prove yourself worthy of leading us."
In the center of the dojo is a ring of fire. Soldiers are able to draw energy from this fire and channel it into their palms to bend the fire. An old man watches them carefully, noticing if they make mistakes. He smokes from his pipe, and doesn't utter a word.
A bell rings. Everyone stops. Jehrai leads Mario and Twilight to the center ring. The soldiers gather near the ring like a PPV event. "The Prince of Equestria, along with the Princess of Equestria is going to face a tough challenge right here in our very home. They will go through a set of obstacles that will truly test their courageousness and determination. Should they pass, they will be more than worthy to lead my men into the fray. But, should they fail, they shall serve 2 years of active duty regardless of their nationality. No questions? Good. Let's begin."
Mario and Twilight are nervous as they have to face the first obstacle: Climbing through a rock wall, but with bottles falling every now and then. "I thought we were just gonna train with them." Twilight said, nervous.
"I'm scared of what comes next." Mario said, gulping.
Men on top push bottles off the roof of the wall to try and push Mario and Twilight off balance. However with the teamwork from these two, they are able to successfully climb up top.
