the party

It was a beautiful day in the peaceful town of Ponyville.
The winter had just finished and everyone was enjoying the sun finally came back to warm the land of Equestria.
Since that year the pegasus pony Cloud City had exceeded the population, despite the driving element of magic, had worked harder than expected to send away the winter so no one had wanted to stay in the city and had moved to the "Garden Sweet apples ": the apple trees were in fact flowers.
A huge amount of white flowers covered the thick foliage of the apple trees, and the wind was carrying the petals creating an atmosphere charged with emotion, it was a show now seen every year, but each time was like the first one: a real show that did not go out of fashion, and the prelude to the future birth of juicy fruits that had always made the fortune of Granny Smith, Applejack and family.
"Come in, gentlemen, come on! There is room for everyone! Not affollatevi! Do not push, do not exceed "screamed excitedly Apple Bloom, Applejack's little sister, improvvisatasi Airlines ticket with the help of her friends, clearly in an attempt to get the Cutie Mark.
That apple blossom was a show that everyone was waiting for, from the first to the last inhabitant of Ponyville: who would flock to admire the beauty, and who is satisfied with a sweet smell that permeated the air in those days. Sometimes, when he was burdened by official duties, even Princess Celestia reached Ponyville to assist you.
Even Twilight, the pony scholar, he had abandoned his dusty library and was looking at what they had just read.
"You were right, it really is a beautiful sight and indescribable!"
"Have you seen, pony of little faith?" Was the comment of Rainbow Dash "And to think that we had to struggle hard to break away from your dusty books!"
Sniggering, little was heard Spike "Do not tell me, I try every day! But I can never detach from those mounds of dust and mold! "
While the rest of the group indulged in laughter and jokes Rarity was already intent on grasping the fallen flowers to admire the beauty up close, using his body as dummy clearly with the idea of using them to create a dress, the same Pinkie Pie while meditating instead on how to insert them in some tasty recipe confectionery ... and in the meantime they tasted.
"Wow what a strange taste! I could make us a cake, "said an amused look of attracting Applejack:" Sugary, it seems a bit 'too early to eat, first of all have to be prepared and only after you eat them! "Schernendola said playfully.
At that moment a chilling scream rose from the forest by dispersing dozens of birds, as everyone tried to figure out what had happened to the place began to shake.
Before the eyes of all present were seen fleeing from the forest animals in all directions, leaves fluttered between them and the source of the scream, which ran panting to the city, it was a completely white pony that fatigue was recognized, it was Fluttershy
The whole city turned to the sweet pony animal in a state of shock, he spoke in monosyllables, shaking like a leaf, his teeth chattered and looked like he'd seen a ghost. In a short time the crowd made her outline, trying to comfort her and ask her what had frightened so much, all with very little success.
The confusion was quenched by the firm and fair voice of the mayor while he was trying to ward off anyone too close to Fluttershy "Make way, make way! Let recovers without incalzarla! It has an evident need to relax and take a breath. Now calm down and take a deep breath, Fluttershy. You're home, "continued the mayor, trying to make her feel better but all he got was that the pegasus broke down crying.
"It still seems too scared to talk. Twilight, take her home and offer them something hot. If Fluttershy is so scared, it means that looms over us something to be really scared. And you guys do not worry, soon we will know more, although something tells me it will be better to take action and inform of the fact Celestia! "He went on again, dispersing the crowd.
It took a good half hour because the sweet and shy pony, lying on the bed of Twilight, taking into between the hooves a cup of hot tea, expertly prepared by Spike, was able to articulate some words. Around her, her five best friends, Spike and the mayor himself.
"I .... He ..... Angel ..... shadows ..... light ..... cold! "
The first words finally came out of the mouth of Fluttershy. He had stopped shaking, even though he had two blankets on him, and his gaze was still fixed.
"Sugary" Applejack said trying to calm her friend "Do you feel to tell us what you reduced to this sorry state?"
All hung from the mouth of the yellow pony, trying to calm relying on hot tea. "R-Ra - Guys ... l-la - the legend d-de - the f-fo-forest ... It is true! "
That short sentence came as a thunderbolt to the present, including the mayor, who had begun to shiver as if it was still winter, instinctively hiding under the first furniture that had seen: the same Fluttershy was holed up shivering under the sheets. All except Twilight and Spike, who observed the other with amazement.
"Uhm? Legend? Vera? And girls ... what's wrong? "
The only answer was the silence broken only by the flickering of the furniture, only after a couple of minutes a voice was heard.
"Twilight, do not tell me you do not know what lurks in the deep, dark recesses of the forest? And I do not even know the legend of the Everfree Forest? "
"No. And then I do not believe in legends, "was the sarcastic reply. While Spike tried in vain to pull out from under the covers Fluttershy interjected Rainbow Dash, perched on a bookshelf and white fear
"Twilight, the legend speaks of a ... m-monster that roams the deepest part of the forest, where the sun does not beat that almost never, never goes where NONE. We do not care about it almost ever since this "thing" we were never attacked and in any case it shows very little ... "
But before he could finish the sprinter Pinkie, coming out from under the bed began to speak "But it mooooooooolto big bad!! And when he walks the earth TREMAAAARE ago! It does MOOOOOLTA fear! E. .. puts the animals flee! "
Twilight, even by its nature, was skeptical and indifferent glances made
"I do not seem so dangerous ... in the end there has never attacked! So tomorrow morning I'm going to see if this being exists or if you are dealt only a hallucination! Infuse you thought Zecora were evil "
Having said that the element of magic began to pack.

The meeting with the legends

The next morning the whole population of pony ville tried, in vain, to prevent Twilight to challenge the legend.
Even the brave Dash trembled and tried, with little success, to stop her friend:
"And if they catch you? Did not you think? And if it hurts you? ... I do not want to think! I do not want to think! "He repeated breathlessly the rainbow pegasus. But the innate curiosity of Twilight had always had the better of any legend, rumor or superstition: she had studied and was naturally brought to thoroughly investigate into things.
"Forget it, Rainbow Dash: I decided to see clearly and so I will!" Was the firm response.
Given the situation the population took note of the fact that the librarian was going to his death and there were those who despaired, who gave an impromptu farewell, who prayed that we came back, some in tears watching her just disappear into the forest.
The forest of Ponyville still had his usual appearance: mysterious, dense, populated of the various species of animals and plants, but despite that, still mild and friendly towards the adventurers. Twilight and her friends had already crossed dozens of times, almost like they knew their pockets ... but the area that interested her was quite different: there was no one ever was. It was virtually unexplored, the sun was beating almost never there and, according to legend, a mysterious "monster" you wandered from time to time and it was this fact to alarm the filly "Well look, Twilight: If Fluttershy saw the beast and not is certainly entered the dark area of the forest ... v-c-means that ... the creature came out of her comfort zone! And if it really means that output could reach the city! I can not stop, damn it. I promised to find out what lies beneath this malnata legend and I will, "she said, trying to be brave shame that his body did not agree with her, which is why advancing flickering, one step at a time. It was hard to believe something when the whole city argued the opposite, especially when it was something potentially dangerous.
"You have a hard head, huh Miss magic wand?" A second voice cut the silence of the forest all too familiar voice, as well as the trail of rainbow color that drew around her in an instant ...
"What the hell are you doing here, Rainbow Dash?"
"That's true, but we are still your friends"
"I never would leave you alone, you know" echoed the other ponies: Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and even Fluttershy, though he was still in shock.
"Thank you my friends, now that we are together nothing can stop us!" Would never, ever allowed to be afraid as they are.
The merry band was so united, and more than ever determined to unravel the mystery that was terrorizing the city.
They walked gingerly, lending an ear to the smallest noise that the forest produced, and at the same time wishing with all their own not to be there at that time, after a couple of hours of driving, the group reached the dark side of the forest.
It was like walking into a room whose shutters were barred from which every living being kept away, to complicate things more that day the sky was very cloudy, so that the pale sunlight filtering through the clouds could not minimally to creep among the dense foliage of the trees. It was dark, very dark: even Pinkie Pie had stopped jumping joyfully. "Wow! How nice! We scout! "Exclaimed, with his usual mirth. Applejack replied in return
"Yeah, and maybe at least one of us will come back to Ponyville alive in order to arrange for the recovery of the remains of her companions!"
"Uh, you're so pessimistic," then went on Rarity.
Although they were trying to give themselves a reason to go on, to all of them had never stopped shaking legs. Twilight seemed the safest, who led the team, which dimly lit the area thanks to the magic.
The dark forest was the most mysterious side of the forest, and to all intents and purposes seemed bewitched: the air was traveled by the incessant cries of wild owls, perched in the tall trees that hindered the advance of sunlight. A few fireflies wandered among the branches, uttering their mild and vaguely reassuring lights: in effect, that area seemed inhabited only by fireflies and owls, the only daredevils who dared foot or place and housing.
It did not take long for something ... different spectral appeared fleetingly in such a place, it was little more than a shadow, a quick appearance that only a quick eye like that of Twilight might have noticed.
"Girl, I saw a shadow! Perhaps we are close to our goal! "
"Where?"
"Li river near that!" Said the element of magic pointing to a clearing at the center of which passed a river, suddenly a ray of sunshine lit up the clearing and a figure quadruped with a robust body, very tall and with a head from the neck average stretched intent to drink, it took very little because the group realized what it was, a giant unicorn, but before that their ideas were illuminated, the earth started shaking, pushing the pony to hide in a bush, attracting while the figure to the hiding place of the pony.
The imposing figure is closer and closer to the hiding of her friends, paralyzed by fear and unable to move even a single muscle. It was from when they were matches from Ponyville trembling, but on balance they had never found so close to a legend. Meet Discord, or Chrysalis, was one thing ... but there, in the darkest of the forest, Twilight Sparkle and friends were about to encounter something even stranger, a danger hitherto unknown to all who finally revealed in all its grandeur, it was a unicorn up more than any other inhabitant of Equestria, even Princess Celestia would have been forced to watch from the bottom up such a creature. His coat was completely dark gray, adorned only by a yellow belt at the waist, his mane and tail were relatively short, and black as night. But what most surprised was what the pony noticed later: much of his hair, with the exception of muzzle and paws, was solidified to the point of forming a kind of armor, armor natural hair hardened ... and not only that: even more surprising was the fact that he possessed three horns, two on the sides of the head. He had never seen such a living being.
Suddenly a second figure made his entrance into the clearing
"U-Wow ..." he murmured Pinkie Pie, surprised and admired by the new creature. "How GGRREEAATT!"
The newcomer was scary and mysterious, as tall as the first one had a blood-red cloak on which stood two strong wings and fairs, a robust gray tail, un'irta silver mane that made him look much taller, and the teeth were long and razor-sharp implying that the diet of carnivorous creature was but what was more impressive were the legs, robust and most incredible thing and they were eight in number.
"G ... Gir ...'S GIRLS 'ARE TWO GIANTS!" Said the friend of animals blanching attracting the attention of the newcomer that his voice was cold and detached.
"My friend, it seems that we have visitors, let 'those who dare to venture into these places where never shines the light of the sun and death reigns supreme!" Then he spat fire from his nostrils incinerating the hiding place of the pony, without hurting the direct sections concerned, who found themselves face to face with another giant who inspired fear at the mere sight, especially his grim look ... and his eyes without pupils in sharp contrast with the red eyes of his companion. More than two inhabitants of Equestria, they seemed to come out of demons dal'inferno.
For a good half hour silence sovereign kingdom until the being who had not spoken decided to break the silence
"Pony ... why are you here? "he said in a loud, hollow, at times almost ghostly. "What do you seek in this place, where as my friend said light ends and the darkness takes over?" And then wait for a response. Obviously no one dared to open his mouth, petrified with fear and surprise: they could not issue more than monosyllables confused.
"I think they're terrified!" Said the eight-legged
"And you certainly do not help you should do something about that your ugly face scapegallows!"
"However, I think that your face does not help!"
"I understand!" Shooting then the huge unicorn "Whoever you are, I suggest you go away from here. You will not find anything but darkness. There's nothing for you here "
"Apart from the dead!" Said the other, in a tone almost resigned.
Unexpectedly, the timid Fluttershy was to speak: "Er ... s-lords .... N-P-We are residents of Ponyville, the p-d-town not far from here. And v-wanted ... "
His speech was interrupted almost overnight "Hm, I understand! Apparently the last hunt we went out of our borders! If you are here to scold you have my apologies! "Said the one with the horns.
"But we have the excuse that the winter was harder and more rigid than other years. Know that we do not care if you do your stuff to survive! However, you also accept my apologies! "Said the other, then the two turned to leave the area.
At these words the ponies were surprised but began to recover because they both seemed not to care about anything.
Twilight decided to talk to her, "Hey wait a minute, 'said attracting the attention of the two" Here we do not want any of you any kind of blame. Do you know that here bears a legend and we have come here to see things clearly! "
At these words both gasped evidently surprised
"Ah heard Iacopo?"
"Yes, I've heard but do you think that we can trust?" Replied the eight-legged.
At that moment, an owl landed on the back of Fluttershy
"It seems that we know whether to trust or not?"
"Vah well follow us!" Said Iacopo driving the pony
"I forgot: I'm Twilight Sparkle, a student of the sovereign of Equestria!" Twilight said, trying to fraternize with the warriors "They are Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash," he continued, giving an overview of her companions and pointing a for a.
"I am Iacopo!" Said the one with the wings "And he's Garland!"
The direct smiled and interrelated "I am not surprised that some of us are raving legend. Often people are superstitious towards those who are different from them! "In his words, however, you could hear a thin veil of sadness, a sadness hidden very well. It was the same story took place before the pony knew Zecora, the zebra shaman: the similarities between the two stories were many and impressive.
After a brief and silent trip, the group reached a cave where the two made to accommodate their guests.
"Whose turn is it to take care mess today?" Said Iacopo
"To me," said Garland lit a bundle of twigs shooting fire from his horn arousing the wonder of ponies.
"James spits fire while I know the magic. However, I imagine that you will want to know why our issues and our history? "
"Yes, I admit that I'm curious!" Said the student model.
"And are not you afraid of getting into trouble?" Said Iacopo
"We always tell him" Dash said smiling.
"Well you're right, however, my old friend!" Said Iacopo, smiling, "and then a good story is always a pleasure!"
"All I'll start bne and know that no one will ever tell a similar story"

The stories of the spirits

Garland sat on the ground while his friend reached some skins on which there were embroidered stars.
"OOOOOOHHHHHH! What a beautiful cloaks we could do with that tissue. It would be a great blow to my career! "Said Rarity kidnapped by the beauty" How were you able to manufacture them? "
"Simple" said Iacopo pulling out from under the skin a spear, a sword and a hammer "driving out those Ursus Minor and Major!"
At those words the silence descended on the pony, for them Ursus were practically invincible, and the very idea that someone was able to fight them and tear them down again had marked
"I would say to begin to clarify the natural doubts of our guests about our appearance and our ability" Garland said as he watched James join him, though they were both sitting enthroned on the pony as two imposing towers.
"I - I - in fact ....." she shyly Twilight "I have neither seen nor heard nor read of creatures like you two! You're so different from each other, the only thing you have in common is the impressive body. Iacopo looks like a Alicorno but spits fire from his nostrils, has long, sharp canines and has twice as many legs of a pony while you Garland at first glance look like a unicorn, but you have three horns, your hair is almost hardened to form an armor "
"Uh .... Uh! Did you hear that? There he studied her going and she knew right away that our appearance is not natural! "Said Iacopo as he used his many legs to control his weapons in ponies arousing fear and surprise.
His friend quick to clarify the statement.
"Listen to our stories and you'll understand. At first I was just a unicorn like you, Twilight. But I do not remember what I look like ... "and lowered his head. He was digging in his memory and recalling painful thoughts. "But I remember that my parents were known to be of very talented magicians and alchemists. They were able to perform great wonders ... but they had a flaw: the lust for power! "
Those last words left his mouth open the small audience of ponies.
"For you can be almost unreal, but I understand the two of us we are not natives of Equestria!" Said Iacopo that he continued "You see he was born in a place beyond the western borders of the kingdom while I sell over the eastern borders!"
"Thank you Iacopo!" Said Garland smiling friend and then resume its history
"You must know that in the land where I come from, which I wanted to erase all memory, life flowed so much more difficult, in many plotting in the shadows to gain more and more power, first of all my parents ... had the craze to create something very powerful, a kind of weapon that would enable them to subdue the city and the entire Equestria. And guess on who conducted their experiments? "
It did not take a genius sure to answer the question. The pony, meanwhile, stared Garland with eyes full of wonder and horror with which resumed its history, after a pause.
"And I was too young to be aware ... I could only passively accept their experiments, their stupid spells that I have hardened skin, with an enormous magical power, magnified out of proportion and made to grow these other two horns. And to think they thought they had invented a new breed ... the "three-cornered hat," as they called them then they sent me in the villages, in the cities, in forests, wherever there was only one life form to be submitted. I had to ... "Her voice was almost sobbing, mixed with a deep and visceral hatred.
"... to destroy. I had been changed to that, destroy and subdue. They forced me to raze homes, terrorizing residents and threatening them in exchange for the submission to "future king of Equestria ... but be aware that I may have done wrong, but I've never killed anyone. This will not ever forgive me, anyway ... and was the cause of the cutie mark that damn harbor as a cross. "None of the ponies had done so far if the cutie mark of Garland. It was in all respects very strange: resembled more like a heart from which went different spikes, two on the left, a longer one down and two horns opening very wide in the upper part. The right side of the mark was enveloped in a kind of demon wing, closed in on itself to form a half-moon: it was all black and gleaming red.
"But that's Stigma of Chaos which is considered a symbol of great dark power!" Said Twilight Sparkle.
"You think I do not know too well? It comes from my great power and by my wickedness, although it was not my desire. Bringing such a cutie mark for me is like carrying a burden of one hundred pounds, and every time I look is like a knife, "he continued, in a tone very sad and melancholic.
"Let me, however, to continue my story
It could not last. When I was more adult and mature, to finally understand the objectives of my parents and I realized what I had done, just for their stupid desires. I did not hesitate to threaten them with serious consequences if I had not made it back as before ... and for the first time I felt free to decide for myself, but it was true that my power came from them: they could easily out of the way like a broken toy, if only they wanted to.
Luckily for me during my forays had never killed anyone so my appearance was known as well as my business and it was this that enabled him to Princess Celestia to find me.
He had often sent the armed forces to contain my mindless fury, but no one seemed able to stop me. The same Celestia had to put their lives at risk in joining me and seeking dialogue with me ... Fortunately I had already understood my actions and, finally free from the control of my wicked parents, I accepted every possible consequence. I had earned it. "
"So you, too ...." He Fluttershy looking Iacopo with eyes full of tears.
"Let's just say that my story is slightly different," said the warrior, "however, when finished, I will tell my story!" Leaving his companion free to continue
"My parents were exiled indefinitely, and my fate was to come ... how to say ... purified by scientists of the princess, thus helping rebuild what I destroyed. I refused treatment. According to my parents, the process was irreversible, but even if I had never believed I knew it would not be enough to cleanse my soul "
"And then what happened?" Rainbow Dash asked, intrigued more than ever and comfortably lying with his head on his paws.
"Only the intercession of Celestia pushed the vacationers who had caused so much suffering to accept my help and my sincere repentance, because of my size and my strength we rebuilt the villages in record time, but I could not stay in those lands for a second longer. I had to escape, start a new life away from everything and everyone, especially from my past.
After much wandering I came here, exhausted with cold and hunger.
Then I found this cave, where I rested: I decided that it would become my new home where I lived in this place, feeding me of what nature offered: fruits, roots and what wild animals hunted, you know, unlike my friend had and I still have an aversion to the death that kept me from hunting, but it was enough to get close to wild animals to make them flee and to obtain their meals. I know, it's shameful, but it was for my own survival, I thought that I would be a lonely exile but in the evening of my arrival risked being killed but that's from the east came Iacopo and time we lived together! And this is my story, I do not know how many years have passed since here the time flows differently from the rest of the world "
The silence reign in the cave while the ponies were turning our gaze to James that he began to tell his story.
"You see in the land where I come from a time reigned Mefisto a tyrant, cruel and powerful, but there were rebels who fought against him in the name of freedom and justice.
Loki, my father one of the last large Sleipnir skills, and Atena, my mother one of the last Diomede of exceptional beauty, had been able to get hired with those employed in the building and trying to figure out the secret of his strength that seemed to have no limits, so they discovered that he had seized the magic of the four basic elements!
The discovery was hard for the rebels, of which my parents were among them, because nobody had ever done to learn how to use more than one item tempered only by my birth univocal as the best of the existing races.
You see in my land as well as unicorns, pegasus pony and terrestrial lived two other breeds that of Sleipnir, a race of warriors pony with eight legs capable of running on the ground, in the air and the water, the other race was that of Diomedi , a very strong breed of pony which fed on meat able to check fire from his nostrils, as they were saying because they are extinct!
Realizing that only I could have a hope of being able to win against the tyrant my father and my mother stole the plans for the serum "Del Super Soldier" that Mefisto's plans would be used to create an army to invade Equestria! "
The element of loyalty mouth wide open, "But they all aim to conquer Equestria?"
"You know Equestria is a rich and fertile land and attract many warriors. let me to continue my story:
Since I knew the situation I was happy to be used as a test subject for the Super-Soldier Serum and so my parents worked on me making me stronger and more powerful, however, making me promise that I would never have used my strength for my own pleasure but I would had to use my powers to defend the weak from the wicked.
During the last expansion there was an attempt, I managed to survive but my parents no, that preceded the arrival of Mefisto and his men, I clapped along with the rebel army, but discover to their horror that the tyrant had three magical objects that made it even stronger!
A helmet that made him invisible, able to absorb the magic armor and a sword capable of any cliffs weapon.
The rebel commander ordered the retreat and told me to find a way to counter the weapons of the tyrant so I came to know of the existence of a temple on the top of a mountain where no perpetually snowcapped Pegasus or Sleipnir would never come, in which were sealed three powerful weapons.
Realizing that serious had to go on top of the sacred mountain leaves the rebels and thanks to my nature, I was able to reach the top and I had to challenge them three groups of seven demons and the only way I could get my hands on weapons that were hidden! "He said this monster his arms lifting them one at a time.
"A spear Gungnir has the power to always hit its target unerringly and although invisible neutralizing so the helmet!" And showed a spear of iron where the tip and handle were one.
"Excalibur sword that can cut a whole adapts to neutralize the saber" monster and a sword with a blade of pure steel, a guard of silver and a golden hilt
"And my most powerful weapon of all: Mjöllnir a hammer that can crush everything that appears before him, with the power to throw lightning and perhaps the most useful, to return always among my clogs!" And a big monster hammer with the handle very small.
"Equipped of these objects between the rebels returned bringing the hope of victory then, after we went to war and reorganized its border with Equestria found the enemy army and we fought.
For days and days the earth was quenched by the blood of brave warriors who killed themselves. I falciai his slaves while he was killing my companions.
Mefisto seen my arms I run to Equestria, and I pursued him until he put it in my trap them and we fought our battle! "
The silence had descended into the cave while the eyes of Jacopo had evidently turned to him was not sorry to tell his story.
"It was an extraordinary battle! Mefisto and I fought long and with the magic with our weapons under the eyes of the armies but eventually destroyed Excalibur his weapon, Mjollnir destroyed his armor and helmet Gungnir the destroyed him dead, so I freed my people from the tyranny but the war had left its mark on all of us and our rich and fertile land that had turned into a wasteland.
As we watched the sad outcome of the war a filly, fair as the moon lit up the battlefield, there appeared to him and with a sweet voice and regal asked why the battle on his land.
I explained everything and asked for help for my people offering me as a slave, because even if you do not like it I brought powerful weapons on a peaceful land, I had shed blood and worst thing I killed him! "
"But you struggled for freedom!" Said the element of honesty
"It is true! But even if for a right end I cut off many lives, destroyed mountains, rivers dried up, devastated city and burned forests.
So Luna, so he said his name. welcomed my people but to prevent the delicate balance of the kingdom were broken ordered me to watch in a forest powerful, explaining that inside I would find a strong and powerful warrior but with whom I should never pick a fight.
So goodbye my people went into the forest and that night I found the man who would become my fellow-exile that was in trouble against one Ursus Gigantus and I had to help him.
Since then he and I have shared the exile living in this cave and learning to live in harmony with the forest! "
Silence fell while Garland had finished preparing a vegetable soup and a leg of meat.
"Your stories are amazing and shed light on your nature!" Said Twilight
"Now that you know your appearance is not the most regal but monstrous!" Said Rarity.
"Now you may participate in the Nightmare Night. I also want to look terrific! ARR! "Cried then Pinkie Pie, playfully trying to scare the other, his jumping happy and jovial had never abandoned until that moment, his smile would have convinced anyone, but failed to wrest even a smile to the dark three-cornered hat and the giant warrior.
"You would not want to live with others? I'm sure you will all agree! By now you're completions other than when you entered for the first time, right?” Was a proposal to Twilight. "I do not think that they would accept my presence. Thank you to be interested in my story ... but I can not accept. "said Garland.
"I do not believe that they would accept only one who eats meat!" Said James biting the leg, "You know because of the magic that comes over me I can not digest legumes, vegetables or desserts but only meat!"
Then there came Rainbow Dash: "Oh, nonsense! I'm sure you will be happy to accommodate ponies tough as you two! "
The debate lasted for a few minutes, after which I became convinced giants.
"Alright then, I'll come with you. For centuries, we are exiled .. "said Garland
"It's great, you'll see! Uuuuuh! "Cried then Pinkie.
"But now you are our guests!" Said James pointing to the moon was rising high in the sky, "You see it is dangerous to travel at night!" Said that he used his magic to bring up a stone that closed the entrance of the cave .
"Early tomorrow morning we will travel back to civilization, only cusateci if the beds are not a beauty but we do not get many visits," said the other, using his magic to manipulate the skin of bears getting defeated by Iacopo of the beds is for the two giants that for the six ponies
"Will be fine" said Rarity settling into place.
"Just go back to Ponyville will make a great party!" Said Pinkie Pie.
That evening the cave of the two giants was enlivened by the presence of six ponies who enjoyed the cuisine of the hosts.

The arrival at home

The morning after Twilight was the first to wake up and was able to observe the two giants sleep calm and quiet.
Garland slept lying on belly while Iacopo slept in a fetal position with three legs wrapped around his powerful weapons clearly ready to use them if necessary, seeing them so calm and quiet the unicorn wondered why similar warriors shut inside a cave.
At that time the two got up on their couches arousing the other ponies.
"Well it's time for breakfast! Unfortunately we do not have many conveniences. Nuts, acorns, grass and aromatic flesh! "Said Garland showing the pony a frugal breakfast.
"Wait light so I can use at will!" Said Iacopo placing itself in front of the stone that obscured the entrance and raised his hammer hit her disintegrating in an explosion of thunder and lightning, leaving the elements of harmony with his mouth open.
"Do not give up just use your hammer?"
"Yeah! And it's fun to use it not? "Said that the warrior sat down next to the other eating a giant steak" oh excuse me but as I said I can not digest vegetables and sweet! I still have not figured out how my parents were able to get married and live together for so many years as if my mother was carnivorous my father was a vegetarian "
"Love is a feeling that no one can control or manipulate, and that you can write so much without getting anything!" Said the element of magic "evidently the love that existed between your parents was so strong as to win every obstacle! "
"Then you are always agree to come with us?" Said Rarity
"Yes!" Did the two giants collecting their things.
Immediately, then, the group left the cave and retraced the route taken through the forest.
The journey was trouble-free and hassle. Once again, the imposing physique of Garland, who was in the lead, had proved an excellent tread towards the intricate plants that grew in the dark part of the forest, as well as his armor of hardened hair allowed him to cross even the thorniest brambles without problems, while all the animals ran into hiding as soon as they heard the thunder produced by the hammer of Iacopo, who had settled in the back of the group with one paw turning his weapon.
Suddenly, the three-cornered hat stopped in front of a huge footprint:
at first glance seemed to belong to Ursus of colossal dimensions.
"Um Ursus Gigantus came through here .... Well we go the other way! "Said Iames continuing to turn his hammer continuing on his way.
The sunlight was returning slowly to illuminate the environment by filtering through the branches of trees, as well as the flora resumed to be happy and thriving: Only animals seemed worried at the sight of what had frightened them for years, now in the company of their friend Fluttershy, did not flee, but they seemed very unsure of how to behave, whether to run or actually give confidence alle0 giant figures: it was the same Fluttershy to cheer them, telling them of the events just before, but Garland did not seem to be of interest while Iames watched them with curiosity
"These creatures are the first that I see that they do not fear the power of Mjollnir, well they do not know and those who have seen the fearsome powers of my strongest weapon they stay away!"
As the group marched slowly the mind of the giants, a time devoted to destruction, and the battle was now undermined by doubts and fears: their life was about to change radically,
Soon he began to live with other creatures like before their modifications:
both would have spent the days in the company of creatures that would not have feared for their powers and their unnatural aspects, but perhaps they would have accepted as one of them.
The tricorn knew it would be difficult for his wild instincts had accompanied him in all the years of hard stay in the forest, its nature "brute" had allowed him to survive in a hostile environment, and unknown for an incredibly long time.
Though he could not read his mind he knew that James was tense for this new life.
For him, life had reserved only battles and fights, he had to fight a fierce tyrant, and only thanks to the powerful weapons had been able to win the battle freeing his people ....... But how many lives had panned, many of his friends were killed before his eyes, and also in the forest had survived fighting against some of the largest and most powerful beings in the whole kingdom now ... would have to live in a house like everyone else, spend their days engaged in ordinary daily affairs, would probably have found peace and happiness as a child was looking for.
Would adjust to the new life, as they were adapted to the wild the most important thing would be to bring the patience ... and all thanks to the six ponies who, defying a millennial voice that terrorized young and old, had had the courage to go in the most obscure and dark forest until you meet them.
"Hey, you okay?" Applejack exclaimed suddenly, noticing his eyes sad and his head down, the three-cornered hat.
"Yes .. do not worry, "he answered, without turning his gaze to her interlocutor: the inner conflict continued to haunt him, but knew he could overcome: it was the first major challenge that life underwent, and had always surpass them all.
"Ehiii! Are you sad? Do not be sad! Be happy! Leaps rollicking! So: BOING BOING BOING ... "he was the the euphoric action of Pinkie Pie, intent on turning around Iacopo making great leaps.
At the sight of that pony so crazy, cheerful, childish and full of vitality tore a sincere smile to the two giants.
"Hey, we got there," cried then Twilight.
The village of Ponyville loomed in front of them, separated from the group only by a river and a wooden bridge. The pony had crossed countless times by now, with all the naturalness with which they walked normally, but Garland was quick to conclude that he would never rectum his weight. That first hurdle of his new life, however, was not enough to take him to surrender: it was more than enough for a short leap Garland had come from the other side of the river with the greatest of ease. Its size unnatural had provided the problem is, the solution is, but he knew that would have caused several other annoyances, Iacopo instead traversed it without any problem.
"But how did you do? The bridge would not have to hold your weight as you and I have the same body mass, "said the three-cornered hat.
"I have eight legs and a pair of wings so it was enough to use them to touch the deck! However, someone explains to me why the country is completely draped in black! "
In fact, before the eyes of all the city appeared wrapped in blacks drapes that hung from the windows and doors.
There was no living soul, and the two giants could see the houses above the doors
large for any pony but too narrow for two of them, they would have to perform in ridiculous and painful contortions to get through them. Moreover, even after they have entered, they would have touched on the ceilings, and no upper level (such as the sleeping area of the house of Twilight) would hold the tonnage of one let alone both friends.
"Hey Garland How do we get people to leave their homes without making a mess and without fear," asked Iacopo who had noticed that all the inhabitants had barricaded themselves in the home, terrified that the "terror of the forest", or better the titans of the forest, they were there, in their midst ... and in the company of six of their fellow villagers that many had considered lost. The same reaction of the animals of the forest: a mixture of awe, fear and disbelief.
"Good question! We need to get them out without scaring them and without shock them and I do not think it's a good idea to use Mjöllnir! "Said the three-cornered hat observing the friend who had raised his weapon with the clear intention to use the immense power to destroy everything.
"You say that Mjöllnir would only worsen the situation? Maybe you're right but ..... and what about those statues? "James pointed with one of his hooves a group of statues depicting their pony friends embraced and cheerful" it seems to me that there is also an inscription let 'it says if I can read "the part of the statue with the inscription glowed red, like the horn of Jacopo creating in front of the muzzle of the warrior a screen with some funky" Let's see if the translation spell works .... Statue erected in memory of those who united by friendship challenged the legend of the forest and were lost in the Everfree Forest? "
"What do you mean," asked Applejack.
"What have erected this statue to commemorate those who died into the forest!" Said Iacopo.
"Do not be afraid," cried Rainbow Dash, clearly angry at being buried before time " Iacopo Garland and I'm not here to scare you or to hurt you. I'm here to ... "It was the same Garland, surprisingly, to halt the pegasus rainbow, with a wave of his paw, did not care to appear with his friend as a trivial or undignified poor man picked up somewhere in the forest, while on the other hand was limited Iacopo to stand in silence clutching his weapons.
"Listen to the citizens of pony ville. My name is Garland and my friend's name is James.
I know that you are afraid of us and they have good reason as we are, beings who for years have lived in your forests, causing terror in all of you ... I do not mean to bore you with the story of my life or that of James. "
The first pony heads began to peep from windows and doors while James began to speak.
"But I just want you to know that it is not our intention to harm you. Ever we came destinations come to disturb you or win you over because we did not even know of your presence at the edge of our kingdom. It is not my intention to even try to move you or make you pity, it would be neither fair nor decent. I just wish ... "
He could not finish the sentence that the mayor interrupted him: it was the first pony to leave the house.
"I think the very fact that you are in the company of six our mates indicate your good intentions.
In fact I think that we must apologize for having unjustly feared your presence, unfortunately complicit in the natural prejudices against the other. I, mayor of Ponyville, I welcome you kindly, and I welcome you. Thanks for your arrival and to the courage of six our fellow citizens, that we have given to death ahead of time, we have eliminated one of our oldest fears, and I'm sure between us, you will be just fine! "
Garland bowed his head as a sign of respect as Iacopo raised his arms.
"I thank you, Madam Mayor," was the simple answer that almost simultaneously by the two giants.
Who would have thought that two rough and wild ponies of war could have changed so radically?
"Powerful sleep in the barn." Applejack said, indicating a large wooden building not far from your farm. "I hope you will not pick it up if we can not offer you any better at the time. It's full of hay, but you will be fine, you'll see, because it is the only building suitable to accommodate "
"It'll be fine. Do not you think Iacopo? "Garland said then, eyeing the building.
"Sounds good to me! the only thing that matters to me is to have a try on the head, "said James.
The building looked like an ordinary house with a rectangular plan and a sloping roof, from whose windows you could see large clumps of hay but it was clear that it was also the only building suitable to the size of the two.
"Well here's a gift!" Said James throwing at the hooves of the Mayor of ursus skins that had brought with him.
Not even a few minutes later, the expression on the faces of the people, the people came out of their houses and almost immediately made a circle around the two figures: the puppies were watching them open-mouthed, males immediately tried to treat the two with the same warmth of a guest-standing, females were fun giggling about their appearance, commenting on how the hair hardened, the triple horns or eight legs might have become a new fashion.
In the midst of that horde of people in the party, Garland and James found themselves almost thrown off, but eventually they adapted.
That night, Garland sat in a pile of hay in her new home while James preferred to lean against a wall. Just before they had begun to return the favor in Ponyville, taking advantage of the dimensions for moving large masses of hay, and help in the work these people.
It was clear that although much larger than normal and unusual appearance by now had been accepted by the inhabitants.

Author's Note

Sorry for the delay but I had lost the key on which I had the job savior but now I found it and I start to put all the chapters that are missing.

An ancient threat

The days followed one another at ease in Ponyville, for citizenship and for newcomers.
More and more were made strong links between Garland, Iacopo and those people, who with incredible courage had faced a very ancient legend welcoming them into the country.
The two giants had already found a way to repay helping people, thanks to the impressive physique had done a lot of heavy work with incredible ease. Some even discussed the possibility have them join the Closing of Winter are confident that with the two giants and the guide element of magic the work would be completed in record time.
Yet both were not easy.
Iacopo had discovered that his great battle against Mephisto, he had lost his friends, was unknown as well as the fate of his people, for having always lived for most of the war and the battle now he was persecuted by the thirst for blood feared would take him to use his weapons on the ponies, while Garland was afraid that his ferocious nature, who had helped him to survive, he had the upper hand again and take him to make those terrible acts that had marked his life, fears that it could take it without any reason with the innocent.
Luckily there was one thing that prevented both of losing their soul and revert to the wild beasts of a distant time and they were the regular visits of the puppies in the village, although it still amazed by its majestic Apple Bloom, Scootalo, Sweetie Belle and all the atria puppies often went into the barn, often together with their teacher, where the two lived, more and more eager to hear their stories so interesting, their personal stories and myths and legends of their homelands.
The two had been smart enough to romanticize their stories, especially the legends of Diomedi in which the blood flowed freely, and those of Sleipnir where death reigned supreme, so as not to frighten those puppies which inspired the giants never felt a tenderness .
The same was planning Rarity often a way to create custom-made suits, but was forced to give up due to lack of mannequins that size and with the same number of legs, and wings for fabrics such large sistemargli accessories from head and also the availability of the two to talk about the fashion of their places of birth.
However, one night could not sleep either, perhaps because the past had come back to bite the giants by weighing their past by soldiers
"Garland can not sleep huh?"
"No! Nor do you seem to have much luck! "
"Yeah. You know it is a bit 'that I'm thinking ... but what the hell are we doing here? "
"I do not know my friend, these ponies who have welcomed with open arms and treat us as friends but I feel out of place!"
"Me too. You know I think the fault of our origin, thou hast been created to destroy and terrorize people and then you have that strange symbol on the side, while I am the perfect soldier, only that a soldier without a war or without a purpose in life is useless ! And do not talk Cutie Mark because my folks did not have that magic "and he turned his head to his side," then I do not understand why the people here from so much importance to a tattoo! "
"I believe that we will not solve anything by staying here! It behooves us to take a stroll and maybe the night will help us and in any case the Cutie Mark is a symbol that appears on the side of each pony when he discovers his special talent that makes it unique is a magical time and expected by every pony! "
Having said that the abandonment of his three-cornered hat makeshift bed of hay and left out in the open followed by the soldier.
Wandering around the streets of Ponyville, including the homes of people who enjoyed a well-deserved rest from the labors of the day, Garland sought peace without an answer to his questions. Because those things were happening to him?
"Can not sleep?" Asked a friendly voice, right behind Iacopo. It did not take long to conclude that the voice came from Twilight.
"It's nothing, we just needed a little 'air ... how come you're not sleeping, "he asked curiously then Garland. The response was swift:
"I have to study the motion of some stars to perfect some spells. Can I help you with something? "Then asked the purple unicorn, with a smile. "There ... I still can not comprehend a thing. Why did this happen? "Said Iacopo calmly and then go see the curious gaze of the element of magic
"I will be very grateful for everything that has happened since you have given me a better life. I've changed, and finally made happy with what you have. I have accepted of you but ... why? What made you decide to travel to the darkest depths of the Everfree Forest and convince me and my friend to get out of that hell broke? "
At that point, Twilight stood up, his horn could not touches the belly of Garland, the one closest to her and tried to look at both the giants.
"Listen ... I'll be honest. It all started because of my stubbornness, "he said, with a very serious tone.
"I had been told of a legend, something that frightened the inhabitants of the forest, and he was terrified Fluttershy further evidence. I never wanted to believe the legends, and I decided to go all the way to this story: I wanted to find out what incutesse so scared in all people but that he had never done harm, and this seemed strange to me! The rest .... Well you were present.
But I do not want you to believe that you are only a trivial "proof" of the falsity of a legend, you have become our friends. We have heard your stories and we decided we had to help, perhaps without even asking permission ... and for that I apologize to you both.
But it is thanks to your arrival we learned not to fear what they do not even know, to open ourselves to ... um ... ".
"I believe the term you are looking for is different." Garland continued, sounding almost sad. He understood that Twilight did not want to say that word, "different", not to hurt him.
"Er ... yes, that. But you are not different from us. Did you have only one life more .... ahem! "
"I think the word that sounds better both warrior!" Said Iacopo remained silent until then.
"It is not really the word I would use but that's okay, and then the mayor was right: we have helped you, and you have helped us. We love you for who you are "
And for the first time in his life, Garland moved wept while at the same time for the first time the face of Iacopo was lined with noble tears of joy because that was the answer he was looking for since his arrival in Ponyville.
The next morning, life in the city resumed its usual course with both the giants to work Garland had become even more sociable, now that he had received the answer he was looking for he knew now that his six "saviors" had done initially almost challenge, to debunk a myth that enveloped him like a black cloak, and had exploited the situation to their advantage. Now he could finally sleep soundly: his restless spirit was appeased and his inner torments seemed gone, James meanwhile had found a new purpose in life
A few days later Iacopo and received a Garland invited to a party in honor of Princess Celestia, through which a message had announced his arrival there in days, of course the people would do their best to accept it and they pulled out for the occasion their best clothes.
"Hey Garland've read correctly the invitation? It says wedding ceremony and we do not have a dress like that! "
"Well here we can do:
1) There is present
2) We introduce ourselves but naked, and this could be a problem.
3) Let's do them to us!
I would prefer the third option! "
"Even if it costs me a lot to admit I must admit that you're right! Although I fear that it will be very difficult to find someone to help us ..... "
Just then Rarity and Fluttershy with a running of fabrics and textiles
"I see that you have already received invitations! Now stand still and let me do it! "Said the designer starting to use a tape measure to take measurements of the giants.
"Have you seen Iacopo we also have the personal seamstress ... I can see a sample of fabrics to decide on the color?" Said the three-cornered hat
"Of course! James stands still please you already have so many legs if you move all the time not be able to take measures fortunately the party is in a week, otherwise I would never have been able to fulfill orders, and tests the night before! Fluttershy take the meter and give me the measure of his shoulder "
"Um excuse me but the fact is that I never went to a tailor. In my country the dress was a status symbol, only the richest and most important pony could get a dress, however, if the evidence is next Tuesday I'm afraid you can not be there from the start! "
"Why do not you start there?" He the friend of animals intent on flying around the warrior while Garland was studying carefully the catalog.
"Next Tuesday, I have to check the status of the source in the mountains south of the town and the work must be done in the evening because that's when the light of the moon reflected on the windows of the cave reveals the natural situation, during the day the sun's reflection disturbs the comments! "
"Ah it's true! Well do the job and then get changed and come to the party right? Then Garland did you choose this dress? Uhm I see you have good taste god let you as soon as possible! Dear've marked the measures of Jacopo? "
"It! Now I measure Garland and James choose! "
"Oh Iacopo if you do not find anything to your taste!"
"It does not have already opted for this, which reminds me of a military uniform. I'm still a soldier! "
"Oh, then I'll make a uniform that rivals the guard Celestia!" Said the seamstress smiling.
A week after the ponies found themselves in the party room was ready, the orchestra was heated and the inhabitants, adorned with the most flamboyant and colorful clothes, began to crowd the place eager to throw himself into the dance. It was a dress rehearsal for the arrival of the princess, a test to make sure everything was working at its best, although most people considered him (to their delight) a veritable feast, pony stood out among the many Garland also wearing a large cloak decorated with patterns in flames, colored with shades from yellow to scarlet with a series of triangular tear to make it as a side dish.
The large portal of the hall was more than enough to pass comfortably Garland, and the living room does not create a problem: high, illuminated with different types of lights and very wide. The only problem was the dance floor would have been virtually impossible for him to Ballard without bumping into at least ten other people ... but it was not his problem, not loved to dance, Jacopo had not yet arrived but had the excuse of work to be done, however, and had said that if there was to much trouble would have made an entry stage, of course, all the ponies had been agreed and expected to see him arrive.
Suddenly you hear the sound of a gunshot, a green ray can open a hole in the ground. A large green smoke, a column of emerald light, a noise that pervaded the environment and kept him stunned guests. Intrusion. Intrusion in the form of pony almost as tall as Princess Celestia, completely black, with hair of a dirty blue, the wings of the mosquito and the curious holes at the legs and the wings themselves. Twilight and her friends were well aware of the intruder ...
"Oh, what a good party, my dear. He married someone else? "Was the phrase debut Chrysalis, the evil queen of the Changelings.
"You ..." he commented so Twilight, while the other ponies were left speechless. On the other hand, the guests stopped to take their surprised expressions and one by one all of a sudden changed appearance, in a flash: the ponies were similar to Chrysalis completely blacks and sharp teeth and looks very cruel. Changelings The most commonly mutated or changes shape.
The evil queen reached the six ponies and Garland, the only beings or non-Changeling across the hall.
"Oh, who's back!
The only one that I had discovered, I guess like you're worrying about your little friends ... are all locked in their homes, guarded by my subjects. I'll take care, hahaha! "He said, with a chuckle. By now the astonishment of the pony was converted into pure nervousness, as well as a sense of helplessness: surrounded by dozens of Changelings who held them at your range, they could not do anything at all, as well as their friend.
"What are you doing here?" Said Twilight.
"See, honey ... the other time, in Cancerlot, you have won your friends, and I've never forgotten. So, before resuming my plans to feed my people, I thought to eliminate you.
I would say that every queen who has at heart the welfare of his subjects would have done so, no? You are a bloody thorn in the side of my plans and without you nothing can prevent me to feed my people, "said Chrysalis, from cruel all'arrabbiato in a moment.
His entrance was quick and its effective plan: indeed a village like Ponyville sure you did not have a force field and dozens of guards as Cancerlot.
"But .... how the hell did you ... "Applejack said, appalled.
"Oh, that was easy ... it was enough to catch your neighbors one at a time and replace it with my subjects on the sly. I'm not great? "Then replied Chrysalis, euphoric.
"But I'm not going to go any further. I talked too much! Now you elimin ... oh. You forgot! "He broke off suddenly, noticing the glare of Garland. It seemed to have noticed only at the time of his presence.
"Look who we have here ..." The tricorn was watching from the top of its height with an expression that would have forced everyone to flee.
"You again! I thought I made it clear that I will join you, never to become the king of your hordes of idiots changes shape. "
"V-You know each other?" Exclaimed Rainbow Dash.
"Yes I do not know how, but while I was wandering Equestria in search of a home Chrysalis knew me. He has tried countless times to convince me to join her and promised the title of king, but I always refused ... by force. "
"Oh yes, my Changelings still bear the wounds of your ... violent trash, treasure. I see that you still remember of my proposals, I hope you've thought seriously in recent years in which I have tried to person, even the fact that I felt strong legends of a being who made the earth tremble.
Of course I did not expect to find yourself here and say that I wanted to win this village then offer it to you as a gift! Would not it be nice to my dear king turn this place into our house? "
They were face to face, although the evil queen arrived at the base of the neck, counting the horn.
The pony could barely believe their ears Queen Chrysalis was doing everything to convince their friend to marry her because not only did sweet eyes but moved in a deliberately provocative rubbing the side legs of the giant blushing, looked like a filly with her lover.
"At first think about it, you would have a kingdom to rule as you want, a love nest in which to live your nights, a group of loyal and disciplined soldiers with which to conquer anything, a wife ready to churn out so many loyal subjects in little time and all you need to do and accept the crown "and before the eyes of the pony a second radius green parts of the ground, making it appear a crown of malachite titan-sized clearly fits the head of the three-cornered hat.
"On my dear wears the crown and you will have the supreme power of all the mutants in the world and if you still refuse ... I think some of your ......" friends "will not see the dawn!"
At that moment the door opened and a shape-shifts as taut as a violin string entered quickly becoming Rarity and in a tone suitable to his state of mind made:
"Majesty, I saw Gungnir well planted in the ground in front of a cave!"
Even before the queen could answer a second shape-shifts seriously worried she entered and became Applejack made:
"Majesty, I was checking that there was no pony escaped when I saw Excalibur, the sword that cuts off our magic. leaning against an outside wall of a barn! "
The door was closed when a new shape-shifts, completely white, the background is constantly changing shape, but not the color, I begin to speak;
"King .... Quenn ..... Mjöllnir "
At that moment came that made Spike:
"Twilight .. Iacopo says that we are under attack and that changes shape ...! "
And at that moment lightning strikes and all the little dragon and everyone could see Iacopo wearing a long red tunic fastened by brooches in gold and silver, between the second and the third pair of legs wearing a black leather belt fastened with a buckle bronze at whose right hand was hanging Excalibur wrapped in a sheath of bronze, his head was protected by a helmet, quietly leaning against the wall fiddling with his hammer and his spear.
"News fresh sucker! You're late and much saw that the queen has already fallen in the field! "
So staring at all those present with bloodthirsty eyes and a voice as sharp as a razor made.
"Who wants to die first? Come forward on that here are Gungnir, Mjöllnir and Excalibur ready to see your ichor! "

Final 1: The Power of War

The men6 saw the queen of his subjects whiten and shape-shifts when they saw Iacopo:
"You!"
"It changed me, my dear face! I warn you that it is useless to call some of your subjects, clashed with my arms and died, the rest of your race Mephisto served as soldiers and I was specially designed to destroy you and .... Oh hello Garland I know that you're here with my dinner? "
"Your dinner? You want ..... hey he's running! "
In fact Chrysalis and changes shape remained had taken advantage of the situation to escape and although everyone present tried to stop them came out of the salon.
"You have not yet figured out that you have no way out? My sword cancels your magic, my hammer will disintegrate and my spear strikes you wherever you go seprate "said Iacopo hurling his spear that although it was thrown on the opposite side reached the side of the queen abbattendola.
"Pathetic! Killed by the same warrior who killed your mother confronted me instead of running away! "
Iacopo then joined the Queen still alive and before the eyes of all devoured disintegrating changes shape with his hammer.
"He .... He ... he ..... has ... "He Rarity horror.
"Defeated the shape-shifts forever!" Garland said calmly while Celestia came the moment.
"Garland well ...." The sight of an endless series of smoldering corpses and Iacopo bloody and still trying to finish devouring the carcass of the queen blocked.
"You!!!" He Iacopo noting Celestia "Cursed Mephisto do not know how you managed to survive, but now I'll fix you!" Said raising the hammer smoldering eyes staring at the queen with bloodthirsty.
"Hey calm down Iacopo this Celestia is the sovereign of this kingdom, not your enemy and then you can use the spear to see the truth!"
"Really Garland? Well you are right that one time and then smashed the skull of my enemy! "Then calmed the giant sat down and looking at the country, filled with the corpses of changes shape made" my war is over! "
Celestia the look and made "is true, but now you can live in peace!" And finally all the ponies were able to celebrate the end of the threat of the shape-shifts.
So the ponies learned that anyone could be scary even if a trusted friend.

End 1

Final 2: Love always wins

Iacopo began to walk towards the present rotating the hammer creating lightning frightened by observing the shape-shifter with a gigno left when I notice his friend.
"Look at 'who's here!"
"Run my king! I will try to restrain him, instill are expendable but you have to live because you're the king of my people and only a king can save my subjects! "Said Chrysalis placing itself between the two giants.
"Wait! You mean she is your companion? Well congratulations my friend, you made a good choice! "
"You say you become king of the shape-shifts is a good idea?"
"Of course! as kings your word is law! "said Iacopo putting away his arms staring at the queen.
"Chrysalis you know you can not win against Iacopo, slayer of giants and changes shape! But in order to save your people you prepare to fight against an invincible warrior, now I understand that you think only your people then accept the crown of kings! "Without hesitation and a tricorn wearing the crown and at that time began to Pinkie Pie hopping around to all present.
"Let's have a party to celebrate an engagement with all the ponies pony villas and shapeshifter!"
"Right Cris is free ponies and do not be afraid James is my friend!" Said Garland being obeyed.
The day after Celestia celebrated the marriage of Garland and Chrysalis, who became rulers of Everfree Forest.
"You know my little pony today we all learned that even those who seem evil or cruel often acts for the sake of a few people then believe it is unfair to represent the absolute good!" Said Celestia observing the carriage of lovers run towards the forest while Iacopo away on a flight to his native land.
