Luna lay in the comfort of her room, the sun had risen hours before but the Moon Goddess couldn't manage to fall asleep. She found herself seeming to be expecting something, but what was she able to expect in the light of day. She tossed and turned in her bed, trying to get comfortable but was unable to do so, she let out a loud huff as she stood from her bed.
Her wings tucked close to her body as she walked from her bed to her door, her foot steps resonated through the room. She reached the door and she gripped it with magic to find it locked from the other side, she was momentarily puzzled and tried to unlock it but found it wouldn't budge. A small black blur shot in front of her, Luna jumped back in surprise and tracked the small black thing in it's movements.
It circled the room for a few moments before it stopped and shot toward Luna, she raised her wings to serve as a shield and put up a magical barrier. The blur stopped outside of the shield and began to swirl into a small vortex before a letter appeared in it's place. "What in the wide world of Equestria?" she said, dropping her barrier and tucking her wings back into place, the letter just hovered before her, unmoving and rolled into a small scroll.
The parchment was gold, was binded with a black ribbon and sealed by a gray stone, she didn't recognize the Seal though, it was a raven holding a sword in one talon and an ax in another. Luna tentatively reached out with her magic and unsealed the letter and read the contents.
Dear Gods of Equestria, it has come to our attention that you are among the most powerful gods among the realms and you have been invited to take part in the Battle of Gods, a friendly suggestion would be to accept this invitation for the consequences will be dire if you don't
Yours Truly,
The God of Gods
P.S. Below you will see directions to a portal to enter the realm where the battles will take place and where you shall be staying for the duration of the time
Luna read the letter multiple times to make sure this was legitimate, she read the directions to open the portal and looked back to the door, she gripped the knob and turned it and found it no longer locked. She resealed the letter and slammed the door open, she charged through the barrier and towards the throne room.
~~~~~~~~
Celestia sat on the throne, a short day today had been but she was still quite tired, her eyelids began to droop when her sister barreled in "Sister, Sister!" Luna yelled, running towards the throne, behind her was a hovering Discord struggling to keep up with the running Alicorn. "Luna, Discord? What is it?" Celestia asked, her head tilted to the side slightly.
Luna arrived before the throne along with Discord, both were panting,, they must have run from Discord's room on the other side of the castle. "Si- Sister, I received a le- letter" Luna panted, her magic flickered across her horn and Luna pulled a scroll from her mane, she pushed it towards Celestia and she took it. Celestia's eyes skimmed across the letter, reading Twilight's letters across the years gave her the ability to speed read but she read the letter once and her eyes went over it again and again.
Celestia's eyes flicked back to her sister and then to Discord "Discord, can you analyze this and see if it truly is alien to our realm?" The Sun Goddess asked the God of Chaos. Discord looked Celestia in the eye "I've already done so, it is" he said, his eyes were as filled with concern as Luna's were. The door had only just sealed itself when it blasted open and a tall, sickly black creature stood there, everyone turned to the door.
Queen Chrysalis and Princess Cadence stood in the door way "Was that really necessary?" Cadence asked the Goddess of Disguise and Illusions but the Changeling ignored the Goddess of Love and marched across the room with purpose, followed by Cadence. "I expect you received the same letter as us" Chrysalis said and pulled out a letter that read the same as Luna's letter. All the Pony Goddesses and the Draconiqus nodded grimly.
"So then it's finally time, our combined godly strength it finally enough to attract His attention" Cadence said, venom in her voice. Celestia nodded to Cadence "It must have been Twilight's ascension that brought about his attention" Celestia said, her voice was grim.
"I told you it was a bad idea for her to become one of us" Chrysalis said angrily.
"You said no such thing, I said that" Cadence said to the Changeling.
"It doesn't matter who said it, what matters is we need to get her" Discord said "He doesn't send a letter to the new god and when they don't show up he gets mad"
"How does he expect us to know that we need them" Luna said
"Thats exactly why, he likes being angry at lesser gods" Celestia said
The gods continued to bicker among themselves before Cadence slammed her hoof to the ground "ENOUGH, lets just go get Twilight" Cadence groaned, the other Goddesses and God nodded before departing and flying towards Ponyville.
~~~~~~~~
Spike sat on the stairs, reading a book about the mating habits of Dragons when a loud pounding on the door resonated throughout the Library "I'll get it" Spike called and set the book down before rushing to the door. He opened it to reveal Luna, Celestia, Discord, Cadence, and Chrysalis "Uh, I think it's for you Twilight" Spike called and Twilight walked towards the door and smiled at the Gods and Goddess until she caught sight of Chrysalis, her smile disappeared. "Do we have to reform another one?" Twilight asked with a sigh.
"There is no time for that besides, we need her wicked knowledge for the grim news we bear" Luna said, her voice commanding like it had been on Nightmare Night but on a lower volume. Twilight looked at the princesses, Discord, and Chrysalis "Grim news, whats happened?" Twilight asked, concerned.
"I don't think this type of news is meant to be told on a porch step" Chrysalis said, semi dramatically, she shoved her way past her fellow Gods and into the Library. She sat down on a cushion she had levitated over, she was a Queen, she shouldn't have to sit on the floor. Twilight stepped aside and gestured inside "Come in and make yourselves at home" Twilight said cheerfully, all the gods came in, while the princesses sat on the floor. Discord hovered in on a cotton candy cloud.
"So why are you all here?" Twilight asked, shutting the door and coming to sit between Cadence and Luna, Chrysalis looked at Celestia "You should have told her sooner" she said.
"Tell me what?" Twilight asked.
Celestia shut her eyes and sighed "I'd hoped that we would have more time, but clearly that isn't the case" she said, her voice somewhat dim.
"You see dear Twilight, once every thousand years, a tournament is called to order throughout the realms" Luna began
"This tournament is for gods to participate in combat and, if they choose, to kill another god without damaging their own realm" Cadence continued.
"This tournament is what keeps us from growing to powerful but some realms don't have enough strength for the realm to be a threat" Discord went on, his manner of speaking far from it's normal chaoticness.
"For millennium, Equestria was one such realm, we have had a close call when Cadence ascended, but we never received word" Chrysalis continued the story.
"But now that you have ascended, we have been noticed and now we must be called away, along with you, do you understand?" Cadence asked.
Twilight looked in shock at the Gods "So we have to participate in combat, what happens if we refuse?" she asked, but no God spoke up and they cast sad glances at one another. "When do we begin?" The Goddess of Magic asked.
Celestia looked to her student "I don't think you unders-" she started but Twilight cut her off.
"It would be an honor to protect my realm as I did the Human realm" she smiled as she spoke and she was truthful as she spoke. No one spoke but Luna pulled out her letter and passed it to Twilight "We will need to concentrate our magics to open the portal" Chrysalis said and Twilight nodded.
"Lets get to it then" Discord said.

I want to thank you for reading this fic, it will be half stupidity, half seriousness, I plan to have it start as one and descend into the other and with that being said, enjoy.
The Equestrian Gods were gathered in a circle, all were focusing their magic to open the portal, they had suitcases by their sides packed with all the basic necessities, toothbrushes, clothes, and fake mustaches. "Just a little bit more" Celestia grunted, sweat had appeared on her brow and she panted from all the effort. Twilight wasn't sweating but she didn't look any less tired nor did she pant as her teacher did, Discord, Cadence, Chrysalis, and Luna were no better off then Celestia. Finally their effort payed off and from a small point of light that had appear in the center of the circle there was an outward expansion that formed itself into a gateway.
The Gods all smiled in unison and each reached downward and picked up their respective suitcases except Twilight who had just enough magic left to pick hers up with magic "Is everyone ready?" she asked, the gods muttered yes's around their cases except Discord who held his in a talon "Yes Ma'am" Discord said. Twilight nodded and stepped through the portal followed by the others before it closed itself.
~~~~~~
The Gods went through a swirling vortex of pink before appearing stepping out of the portal on the other side, Chrysalis noted just how dark the room was, dimly lit with the occasion light on the ceiling. She looked back to where they had stepped and there was an archway with the word 'Equestria' on it, she looked and saw similar arches that read things like Greece, Egypt, and other similarly odd names.
Chrysalis saw something moving towards them and she bared her fangs slightly, the others noticed and moved to look similarly intimidating, only Discord actually succeeded. The lights suddenly grew very bright and revealed the things that were approaching, they were small creatures that she chalked up to the description of humans, only shorter and with pointier ears "May we take your bags" one asked.
She raised her head and looked confused, these were the servants, well she wasn't going to pass up free labor, she tossed her bag at one and it caught it easily, the others followed suit. "We understand this is your first time being here so let us run you through, you will be assigned a rooms where you will be staying with another God or Goddess and please, enjoy your stay" the only pointy ear without bags concluded.
"Rooms, I though we'd be killing one another" Luna said and the small creatures laughed at Luna before they realized she was serious. "Oh heavens no, that's just a rumor the master spreads, though you will fight each other on occasion your stay will be quite not so bloody" the one Chrysalis named leader of the pointy ear in her mind said. The Equestrian Gods looked at one another before shrugging and continuing "Please, follow us to your rooms" the leader elf said.
~~~~~~
Celestia found herself in a room that was decked out with maps, plans, weapons of every kind, women of every humanoid race, and grisly trophies hanging from pikes or chains. Celestia looked quite aghast looking at everything, her mouth hung open and her eye was twitching, there was a tall male near the back of the room, he wore a gold helmet on his head and a white sheet around his body, he turned to see Celestia.
"Zeus, I told them to send me something exotic but this is just plain ridiculous" the man said, inspecting her up and down "I hope you know how to ride", he started laughing at his joke as he approached her. Celestia's eyes widened and her jaw practically hit the floor, she closed her mouth and narrowed her eyes and she slapped the arrogant man across the cheek once he was close enough "Some way to treat your roommate" she growled.
The god clutched his stinging cheek "What the hell, I'm rooming with a female horse" he said angrily, Celestia just rolled her eyes. She pushed past the man and inspected the room "Lets just introduce ourselves" she groaned, she extended a hoof "I'm Celestia, Sun Goddess of Equestria and Leader of my Pantheon" she said. The man hesitantly took the hoof into his hand "Ares, co-god War God of Greece" he shook the hoof and quickly took back his hand. Celestia sighed loudly, this would be fun.
~~~~~~
Luna stood in the room, before her was a tall and imposing figure, he had only one had and where the other should have been was a lion's head made from steel. "Um, Hello" Luna hesitantly said to the imposing man, he looked down to her and smiled "Hello little one, it is a pleasure to meet you" he said, his voice was gruff but gentle. Luna smiled hesitantly, she looked around the room and found it hadn't even been decorated yet "My name is Luna" she said, extend a hoof upward towards the man.
He took it into his hand and shook it "And I am Tyr" he said smiling, he released her hoof a few seconds later, he continued to smile at her. "Lets start decorating" Luna said, stepping around the room and removing some pictures from her bag that she continued to pin to the wall, Tyr smiled at her.
~~~~~~
"Oh you must be kidding me, he expects me to share a room with this 'creature'" The blond women complained, glaring daggers at Chrysalis who followed suit. "This is no picnic for me either, lets just make the best of this" the Changeling said and placed her bag on the bed designated as hers.
"No, you will leave this moment" the women said but Chrysalis ignored her, after a few seconds she heard a series of loud and angry noises coming from the women. "I'm guessing your that Greek Goddess Aphrodite" Chrysalis growled. "And I'm guessing your that hideous Equestrian Goddess Chrysalis" she said in the same tone.
A roommate match made in Heaven.
~~~~~~
Twilight found herself in a room with a tall human, he was muscular but not overly buff, like a track star back at Canterlot High, he had tanned skin and his blond hair shot upward in the front, he work a skirt-like thing. The man looked her over momentarily before going back to his business, which was strumming a Lyre. "How do you feel about music?" he asked. Twilight shrugged "I've got nothing against it" she said carelessly "My names Twilight"
"Apollo" he said, not even looking at Twilight, she just shrugged and climbed into the bed on the other side of the room and opened a book that she'd brought from home.
~~~~~~
Discord laughed, he had his own room when a tall man walked in from the adjacent bathroom, he had an eagle head and he wore a white skirt.
"Ra" he said
"Discord" Discord said
they ignored one another.
~~~~~~
Cadence looked at the one she'd be sharing a room with, he was a small human baby with small wings sprouting from his back and curly brown hair, he looked at Cadence as he looked at her. "Hello, My name is Cadence" she said, extending a hoof towards him, the baby took the hoof into his hands and shook it "Names Cupid, anyone you want me to hook you up with?" he asked hopefully.
Cadence chuckled and shook her head "No thanks, I'm married and besides, I'm a Love Goddess so that's not really a problem for me" she said. Cupid's eyes seemed to sparkle when she said that "You too, oh we have so much to talk about" he said excitedly and they began to discuss the logic of Love, it's worth, and other things.
