Highschool Dragon: Harem Legion

Everyone was in shock, over what Bahamut had just told them about what he sensed, until Spike spoke up in confusion, “Excuse me, you said 'The Titans'?”

“Precisely.” Bahamut confirmed.

“I think it's best the rest of the girls be in here to hear this.” Celestia insisted.

Fleur nodded before opening the hospital room door admitting the rest of the girls in, “Hi, Tempest.” Pinkie greeted, but Tempest was still too surprised to answer.

“What's going on?” Rainbow asked, as they noticed everyone present in the room was tense.

“I'm afraid Bahamut has just sensed something done by the Storm King.” Celestia began.

“What is it?” Sunset asked, as the girls were concerned.

“According to Bahamut, the Storm King has unleashed the Titans.” Luna explained.

“The Titans?” the girls asked.

“Who're the Titans?” Fluttershy asked.

“I'd definitely Remember the Titans,” Pinkie replied, as everyone present gave her a dry look, “What?”

“Bahamut, elaborate for us on these Titans?” Twilight requested.

“Very well,” the Dragon King spoke through the medallion, “Long ago when Equestria was still very young there existed a group of powerful forces that wanted to make the land into their own kingdoms. They were known as the Titans. There was Crunch the Rockhound, Gweneira the Queen of Windigos, Squirk the sorcerer of Water, Lavan the master of Fire, and Erebus the master of Wind. Dragons, ponies, and all types feared these creatures, until a group of unicorn sorcerers took a stand and combined their powers trapping them in a prison where they've remained for centuries.”

“And the Storm King let them out?!” Rainbow asked in shock.

“Why would he foolishly unleash a force like them?” Starlight asked.

“Because he isn't foolish enough without being prepared,” Tempest spoke up, as all eyes fell on her, “If he really knew the Titans were as powerful as their legend precedes them, he would have to have found a way to bend them to his will.”

“But to control that many forces of nature is not an easy task.” Luna said.

“My former master always finds a way.” Tempest replied.

“So now we gotta deal with the Storm King, and these Titan varmints?” Applejack asked.

“It appears so.” Celestia confirmed.

“If that's the case we have to put an end to the Storm King once and for all.” Spike spoke up.

“But we still don't know where he is.” Fleur reminded him.

“But I do,” Tempest said, as she tried to get up but due to the restraints could not, “I'll take you there myself.”

“Huh?” Pinkie asked.

“And why should we trust you?” Rainbow asked suspiciously.

“I'm the only one that knows where his lair is. And I want a chance to give him payback,” Tempest explained, while the others didn't look too comfortable with that, “And a chance to make up for my previous actions. Please give me this chance.” she pleaded.

The princess', Twilight, Fleur, and Spike exchanged looks before coming to a decision. Celestia and Luna undid the straps that bound the former commander allowing her to get off the bed and stand.

“Tempest, we grant you this chance to prove yourself a new mare. Take our subjects to where the Storm King resides and put and end to his tyranny,” Celestia began, until speaking sternly, “However, should you double cross us I promise you will regret that action.”

Tempest bowed her head, “You have my word.”

Celestia nodded before turning to Fleur, “Prepare an airship for departure.”

“Yes, your highness.” Fleur nodded, as she left.

As they all left to prepare, Spike thought to Bahamut, 'Bahamut, you think we stand a chance against these Titans?'

'I cannot say for sure. Not many have been able to match their powers. We're going to have to chance it.'

'Well, winging it is kinda our thing anyway.' Spike thought back.

'Let's hope this time it's enough. The Titans may be our toughest enemies yet.'

Later on, Spike, the girls, Fleur, Tempest, and several pegasus and unicorn guards were on an airship flying over the ocean heading southwest.

“We'll know we're reaching Storm King's lair once we see storm clouds in the sky.” Tempest told the others.

“So how exactly are we going to be able to defeat the Titans?” Sunset asked.

“Well, they are based off elements,” Twilight began, “Fire, Earth, Ice, Water, and Air.”

“Which means the most logical way to combat them is to not only rely on our magic, but the element they are their most weakest against.” Starlight added.

“Even so,” Fleur spoke up, “They aren't called the Titans for nothing. For these creatures you must fight with all your being with no holding back.”

“Good, because I never hold back.” Rainbow assured.

Tempest watched in disbelief before speaking up, “I can't understand how you can go into battle with such confidence.”

Applejack looked back at her, “Well, haven't you and your former boss always gone into battle the same way?”

“Actually, I'd replace confident with cocky for them.” Starlight spoke up making Tempest scowl.

Twilight spoke to the former commander, “To answer your question, Tempest. No matter how the odds may be stacked against us, we never go into battle thinking with a negative attitude. Otherwise we're just doing our enemies job for them to ourselves.”

“And after all the enemies we've faced we kept getting stronger and stronger one way or another.” Spike added.

“Well, you better hope you'll be strong enough.” Tempest replied.

Fluttershy and Pinkie looked up ahead and saw storm clouds surrounding an island in the distance, “Um, I think we're getting closer.” Fluttershy said.

“Storm Clouds dead ahead!” Pinkie announced.

Everyone looked out seeing they were closing in on the Storm King's Island lair, “Ok, this is it.” Spike said, as he and the elements of harmony assumed their armored forms.

“You can be sure he'll have the Titans surrounding the lair.” Tempest noted.

“Makes no difference to us.” Spike replied, as they all prepared themselves.

Meanwhile at the lair, the Titans were in fact patrolling the island, while in the observatory area, Grubber was looking through the telescope checking out the surrounding area for anything, “Mmhmm, good, good. Nothing so far,” he moved the telescope and spotted the Canterlot airship flying their way, “Oh, look at that,” he moved the telescope away, before immediately moving it back to catch the ship in sight, “Look at that!” he exclaimed, before running down their stairs and heading out of the observatory.

In the throne room, Storm King was relaxing on his throne while reading a book. He was so captivated by the novel he thought nothing could interrupt his tranquil moment. Suddenly the doors flung open, and Grubber was running to the throne.

“Your excellency! Your excellency!” Grubber cried, as he reached the throne.

Storm King sat up and looked down at his lowly underling frowning, “Grubber, I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. Never interrupt my tranquility!”

“I know, sir. But we got trouble.” Grubber explained.

The Storm King hearing that squinted, “What kind of trouble?”

“I spotted an airship coming our way. You think it might be that pony princess, the dragon king, and their friends?” Grubber asked.

“Impossible, how could they know where to find... Tempest!” Storm King growled.

“You think she ratted us out?” Grubber asked nervously.

“I wouldn't put it past Tempest to do so after all I tried to off her in our last encounter.” the king admitted.

“So what do we do?”

“No need to fret. With the Titans on our side, we have nothing to fear.” the Storm King said confidently.

Grubber winced and muttered, “I hope so.”

“Come, let us greet our guests.” Storm King said, as he grabbed his staff, and left the throne room with Grubber following him.

Back at the ship one of the guards was looking through a telescope before spotting the Titans patrolling the island, “Princess Twilight, you better see this.”

Twilight looked through the telescope and saw the Titans, “Oh, my. You were right, Tempest. The Storm King has the Titans guarding the lair.”

“Told you.”

“The minute they see us, they will strike.” Starlight warned them.

“Wait a minute,” one of the guards looking through their telescope spoke up, “They're standing down.”

“They're actually lowering their defenses?” Sunset asked.

“But why?” Twilight asked.

“This is just what he wants,” Tempest answered with a scowl, “He's confident enough he'll defeat us so he's just letting us come right to his doorstep.”

“Even if he's lowering his defenses doesn't mean we should.” Twilight said, as they were getting closer.

When the airship stopped above the lair, Spike and the girls readied themselves to fly down, until Spike scooped Tempest up.

“What're you doing?” Tempest demanded.

“Since we're going down, and you can't fly I'm gonna have to bring you down myself,” Spike answered, “Just hang on tight.”

Tempest blushed a bit, before answering, “Ok.” she wrapped her arms around Spike, as he jumped off the ship and hovered down.

Twilight held onto Fleur, before speaking to the guards, “Get ready for when they make a move.” the guards nodded, as the heroes jumped off the ship and hovered down.

They hovered downward before landing on the ground where Storm King, Grubber, and the Storm Guards were waiting.

“Welcome, my honored guests. So nice to see you today,” Storm King began all pleasantly, before noticing Tempest shooting him an angry frown, “Tempest.”

“Lousy good for nothing...” she grumbled in response.

Spike noticed the Titans and spoke to the villain, “We see you've added some new enforcers to your army.”

“Indeed I have. Marvelous aren't they?” Storm King asked.

“How did you convince the Titans to join you?” Twilight demanded.

“That's my little secret, Princess.” Storm King smirked.

“We're giving you one last chance, Stormy,” Spike warned him, “Stand down and surrender.”

“A king never surrenders.” Storm King replied.

“Then I hope you're ready to fall with your supposed kingdom.” Rainbow said, as the girls and Spike readied themselves.

“You forget already who I have at my side?” the king asked rhetorically while motioning to the Titans who frowned, “Attack!” he declared, as the Storm Guards charged into battle.

“Now!” Twilight announced up to the guards, as the Pegasus guards flew down, with the Unicorns swinging down by rope.

Once the guards landed, Fleur spoke to the girls and Spike, “We'll handle the guards. The Titans are yours.”

The girls nodded, as Tempest ran ahead, “The King is mine!”

Storm King armed with his staff blocked Tempest's strikes, but Twilight could tell she was still recovering. She looked to Spike and the girls, “I'll help Tempest. You guys handle the Titans.”

“We're on it.” Spike said, as the girls flew up to the Titans.

Fleur was dodging the Storm guards attacks, before striking back with some punches and kicks, before blasting two away with her magic. She took notice of the rest of the Canterlot guards taking on the Storm Guards using their own magic or flying circles around them. She smiled knowing they could handle things, as she continued to fight on.

Up above, the girls flew around with Rainbow Dash flying around launching thunder strikes against Crunch who took the blows like they were nothing.

“Lightning bolts of that power won't be able to stop me!” Crunch tried swatting at Rainbow who flew away dodging his attack.

Applejack dropped down and punched Crunch on the forehead putting a dent, “Man, only a dent?” she asked in shock.

Crunch was ready to flick Applejack, until Pinkie flew in and threw some sprinkles at his finer that exploded on impact. The rock titan pulled his finger back, allowing Applejack to get away.

Squirk was sending blasts of water at Fluttershy and Rarity, as the fashion girl projected a huge diamond shield to repel the water.

“Fluttershy, you're up!” Rarity ordered.

Fluttershy nodded, and used her wind power to blow at Squirk who was moving back, only for Erebus to drop in.

“Impressive use of the wind, but let me show you real wind power!” he took a deep breath and blew a gust of wind at the two making them fly backward.

Sunset and Starlight flew in with Starlight using her magic to catch the two, “Thanks, Starlight.” Fluttershy said.

“No problem.” she replied.

“We'll handle this one.” Sunset said, as she started using her combustion at Erebus, only for Squirk to use his water to shield the two from the fire attack.

“I don't think so!” Starlight fired a magic blast through Squirk's water barrier hitting him.

When the water barrier dropped, Sunset used another combustion blast at Erebus making him back away.

Spike flew around dodging lava blasts from Lavan, “That guy needs some antacid.”

“Your dragon fire is no match against mine.” Lavan breathed fire at Spike who dodged and started firing back with a magic blast.

“Spike, your regular armor form won't be enough against a Titan.” Bahamut warned his vessel.

“Figured as much. So I guess it's time to crank it up!” Spike concentrated and his armor changed to his gold mode, “Now the real fun can begin!”

The Dragon King flew faster than light and slugged Lavan making him fall backwards, “Oh yeah!” Spike cheered, until he was getting pelted from behind by icicle shards. He looked back seeing Gweneira with her horn glowing.

Spike flew at the Ice Titan and started attacking her head on, as the ice alicorn blocked his strikes. When the two reached a grappling stalemate, Spike looked at Gwneira's face, “Wow, for a Titan you are gorgeous.”

Gwneira felt flustered, but shook it off, “Save the flattery, we need your help.”

“What?”

“The Storm King has me and my brethren under his control. See this collar I'm wearing? It's making me unable to control my body.”

“Well, good because that collar doesn't look good on you.” spike replied.

Gwneira rolled her eyes, “If you can get this collar off me, I can help you in removing the ones from the other Titans.”

Spike started to get suspicious, “Hold it. Why should we help you?”

“You rather the Storm King uses us to help him conquer Equestria?” the titan asked rhetorically, “We just got out of that prison after centuries, the last thing we wanna do after getting out is be the puppets of that idiot.”

“Hmm, fair point,” Spike admitted, “Though what's to stop you from turning on us the minute we free you?”

“Nothing, but I guess that's a risk worth taking, isn't it?” Gweneira asked with a bat of her eyes.

Spike was flustered, but thought, 'Bahamut, can we really trust her?'

'I would say no, but given the circumstances we may not have a choice.'

Spike sighed, as he looked at the titan girl, “Alright, I'll do it. But keep in mind, if you or your buddies pull anything then you will suffer a dragon's wrath.”

“Mm, digging the tough guy act.” Gweneira smirked.

Spike grabbed both sides of the collar and harnessing his strength was able to break it off her, “How do you feel?” he asked.

Gweneira moved around, “I can move at will again!”

“Good. Now how about keeping your word and stopping the other Titans? I have a wife to help.”

“Very well.” Gweneira replied, as she looked to Crunch taking lightning bolt strikes from Rainbow Dash and Applejack striking with super punches. She flew to her fellow Titan and spoke to him, “Hey, Crunch! There's a rock lodged in you that clashes with your body!” she used her ice power and froze the shark in Crunch's neck. Gweneira turned to Applejack, “Destroy it!”

Applejack not sure what this was all about, but if this could help them she flew to the frozen shard lodged into Crunch and shattered it.

Crunch stopped in place and moved his arms, “Yes! I'm free!”

“Yeah, but we gotta help the others.” the ice alicorn motioned to their fellow Titans still fighting the others. Crunch nodded, as they went to help.

Back on the ground level, Twilight and Tempest were busy fighting the Storm King who was dodging the princess' magical blasts, and Tempest's hand to hand skills, while retaliating with his own combat skills and blasting the two with magic from his staff. At the time Grubber was running around and taking cover to avoid getting hit.

As Storm King and Tempest fought head on, the ape man spoke, “Pity you went and betrayed me, Tempest. Otherwise you'd be right here at my side.”

“Excuse me?” Tempest asked in outrage, “You betrayed me! Everything I did to serve you was out of nothing but loyalty, but you attack me!” Tempest used her magic causing an explosion which knocked the king back.

Storm King got up growling before pointing his staff at her, “Feel the fury of a storm!” he blasted her with lightning magic, but dodged, before feeling a twinge in her leg making her stumble.

“Tempest!” Twilight called, as she flew at her side, “You're still recovering.”

“I'll be alright.” Tempest assured her.

“So you claim,” The Storm King replied, “But in the end you will fall just as all of Equestria will.” he readied his staff to deliver another thunder blast, until he was almost hit by a magic blast from above.

Touching down was Spike who spoke, “Equestria will never fall as long as there are those like us to defend it from tyrants like you, Stormy!”

“Care to back those words up?” the King sneered.

“Gladly.” Spike replied, as the two fought head on.

Storm King was blasting Spike with thunder magic from his staff, but the attacks bounced off his golden armor. When Spike got up close he punched the king in the gut before kneeing him in the same spot. Spike grabbed Storm King's shoulders, and threw him against a wall.

“Looks like the dragon trumps the storm.” Spike mocked him.

Storm King got up growling, “I will destroy you whatever it takes!” he charged up a lot of magic into his staff ready to unleash it.

Tempest knew even if Spike could take the hit, the aftershock from the attack could shake the palace up. She channeled her magic into her broken horn before aiming it at the ground the Storm King stood on. She unleashed it at the ground throwing Storm King off balance resulting in him aiming his attack to the sky and was unleashed where it caused no damage.

The ground below the Storm King shook from Tempest's attack and started to break resulting in the Storm King plummeting down to a lower part of his lair. Spike and Twilight took Tempest down to see Storm King struggling to his feet.

“We're not finished here!” he warned the three.

“Oh, I think we are!” Crunch growled.

The King looked and saw the Titans, and Spike's girls approaching, “Titans, defend your master!” Storm King ordered.

“You are not our master!” Erebus answered.

“What?”

“Your hold over us is gone,” Gweneira replied, “You foolishly thought you could control us forever?”

“That was a mistake on your part.” Lavan added.

“But I've been prepared for all contingencies!” the Storm King whimpered.

“Not this one.” Squirk replied.

“And as punishment, we shall subject you to a prison as well!” Gweneira declared, as the five Titans powered up their magic and aimed them at the Storm King who screamed, as his body was turning crystal-like. Soon the once mighty Storm King stood as a crystal statue.

“Preserved for eternity.” Crunch said.

Suddenly the whole area started shaking, “Everyone, move it!” Spike ordered, as they all headed for cover the the lair was starting to collapse. The spot in which the Storm King statue stood opened up and the statue fell through down into the water. The preserved Storm King started sinking far into the darkest depths of the water, followed by the Storm King's staff that was now powerless.

Once the heroes, and guards were at a safe distance from the lair wreckage, they were able to relax, “Well, that takes care of the Storm King.” Applejack said.

“Maybe, but there's still us.” Crunch reminded him, as the Titans were ready to attack, only for Gweneira to come between them.

“Stop!” she ordered.

“Gweneira?” Lavan gasped.

“I made a deal with the Dragon King.” she winked at Spike's way.

“A deal?” Squirk asked.

“Yes. He freed me allowing me to free all of you, and in return we let him and his allies go while we are allowed to go as well.” she explained.

“And you're keeping your word?” Erebus asked in disbelief.

“Trust me, we have bigger things to think about than fighting right now.” she reminded them.

Crunch and the others realizing this was an opportunity they couldn't pass up, so they stood down, “Very well. We'll let them go provided we are allowed to go as well.” Crunch said.

Gweneira looked to Spike and Twilight, as the Princess spoke, “Deal's a deal.”

“Thank you, Gweneira.” Spike said.

“Please, call me Neira,” she insisted, as she flew to her fellow Titans side, “Until we meet again.” the Titans were surrounded by each of their elemental magic aura before disappearing.

“Well, good news is the Storm King is gone.” Rarity began.

“Bad news is we got five Titans now loose in Equestria.” Starlight sighed.

“Let them go,” Spike replied, “Next time we meet, we won't let them escape.”

“Speaking of not escaping,” Fleur said, “We'll make sure these boys don't go anywhere.” she motioned to the guards who had captured what was left of the Storm guards, while Grubber was pleading.

“It wasn't personal, I only followed the Storm King out of fear not actual loyalty!”

“Oh, quit your blubbering.” Tempest scolded him.

“Tempest,” Twilight began, “It's thanks to you we were able to come here and defeat the Storm King. I know the Princess' will be pleased to hear of this.”

“I hope so.” Tempest replied with a sigh.

“Come on, let's go home.” Spike said, as they headed back to the airship with their captives.

Some time later back in Canterlot, Tempest stood before Celestia and Luna, while Spike and the girls stood off to the side.

“Tempest Shadow, the crimes you've committed under the Storm King's command are inexcusable, “However, given you helped us locate the Storm King's lair and helped defend our subjects and beat him, we've decided to shorten your sentence.” Celestia began.

“Really?” she asked.

“Yes,” Luna confirmed, “Instead of being sent to the dungeons, we've decided to place you under house arrest with your only time of going out is to do community service which will be supervised.”

“For how long?” the former commander inquired.

“Until we deem you have made up for all of your crimes.” Celestia answered.

Tempest knowing anything was better than the dungeons, spoke up, “I understand. So where will I be placed while under house arrest?”

“With me,” Fleur spoke up, as she stepped forward, “You shall live with me in my mansion where you will assist my staff in the daily chores. And I will be your supervisor when you are to do your community service in Canterlot.”

“Very well.” Tempest replied.

“And should you prove yourself to be a reformed citizen we will look into shortening your sentence.” Luna added.

“And we will be sure to find the best doctor to give you a prosthetic horn.” Celestia put in.

“Really?” Tempest asked in surprise.

Celestia nodded, “Only if you behave yourself and prove you can be a better pony.”

“As you wish, your highness.” Tempest bowed her head gratefully.

“Adjourned.” Celestia declared.

Spike and the girls approached Tempest, “Congratulations, Tempest.” Spike told her.

“We hope nothing but the best of luck for you.” Twilight said.

“And here's hoping to see you as a free mare soon.” Pinkie added.

“I appreciate you all giving me this chance, even though I don't deserve it.” Tempest looked away.

Sunset placed a hand on her shoulder, “I didn't think I deserved a second chance, and yet I got it all the same.”

Tempest smiled a bit, until Fleur put a hand on her shoulder, “It's time.” she told the former commander who nodded, and followed her out.

Twilight spoke to her mentor, “So what about Grubber and the Storm Guards?”

“Not to worry, they have their own sentence to serve, and they'll be working hard for their own freedom.” Celestia replied.

True to her word, Grubber and the remaining Storm Guards were in the castle gardens doing yard work, while wearing orange jailer uniforms. As they were working, the guard supervising them spoke firmly.

“I don't wanna see a single weed in that garden.”

“Yes, sir,” Grubber sighed, “I hope the prison food is good.”

Back with the group, Rainbow spoke, “At least they got their sentence, but now we have the Titans out there.”

“And who knows when and where they'll strike.” Fluttershy said in concern.

“We will worry about that when the time comes.” Luna replied.

“Until then, take comfort knowing the Storm King's terror is over thanks to all your efforts.” Celestia said.

The group smiled knowing they were right, “Well, after all that fighting I need some R&R, right, girls?” Spike asked his ladies.

“I hear ya.” Applejack agreed.

“Let's go home and have some relaxation.” Rarity suggested.

“Sounds good to me.” Twilight agreed, as the headed through a portal back to the human world.

Later on at Fleur's mansion, Tempest followed Fleur, into her place and looked around, “So...this is to be my gilded cage?”

Fleur spoke knowing the former commander still had some issues to work out, “Count yourself lucky that the the princesses had decided to go easy on you in light of your help. Now to go over some warnings. There will be guards surrounding the mansion as well as inside with extra security at your quarters. My personal staff is also nothing to sniff at and are very capable of defending my home as well as keeping anyone from escaping. You should've seen Pierre in action against the last fan boy who tried to take pictures of me through my window while I was changing. He didn't get out of that one in tact.” she chuckled.

“Seems to me that you've thought of everything, Guardsmare De Lis,” Tempest said sounding impressed, “Still you don't have to worry about me. I'll serve my sentence. I won't plan on escaping.”

Fleur squinted , “We'll see,” she brought Tempest into one of her guest bedrooms, “If you need anything, call the guard,” she took notice of the sad look on Tempest, “It won't be so bad. There is a chance that you could get your stay here shaved for good behavior.”

“Lavish as this is, it's still supposed to be a prison. I have no freedom and no friends... I'm back where I started and it's no different to what I used to call home before the Storm King found me.” she sighed dismally while sitting on her new bed.

Fleur sat beside her and spoke, “Friends you can have, Tempest. In fact...” she gave her half lidded eyes, “If you're good to me, I'll be very good to you.” she giggled.

Tempest leaned her head back away from her looking disturbed while sporting a blush on her face, “You disgust me.”

Fleur chuckled, “I'm kidding, Tempest. We gotta work on your sense of humor during your stay here. Because after all I do invite my own harem to stay for several days and nights when they have nothing to do. You could use that time to get to know them. Because I'm sure they'll want to get to know you,” she leaned close and whispered, “And if you see Feather Bangs try to hit on you, don't roast him. He's harmless when you get to know him.”

“I see.” she replied.

“Well, I'll leave you to get settled in. Goodnight, Tempest.” Fleur went to the door.

“Goodnight.” Tempest replied, as Fleur closed the door to give Tempest some space. Tempest looked out the window seeing the moon rise in the sky courtesy of Luna. She laid down getting comfy and thought to herself.

'Guess I should make an attempt to get back into pony society. It's the only way if I'm to be recognized as a free mare again,' she then thought of Spike, 'He's definitely a long stronger than my former master. And he and his friends were even willing to help me when I didn't deserve it. Spike Drake, you certainly are something.' and with that she fell asleep.
