Random tales of The Princesses and the Mane Six
Luna and Celestia Play Risk (Everyone)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia stood over her younger sister, glaring down at her with an evil grin. "Sister, you will regret invading Griffon Kingdoms!" she shouted, her vice echoing around the stadium.
Around her and Luna we rows upon rows of seats, each filled with earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns alike. Along with the two other alicorns -Princess Cadence and Princess Twilight Sparkle- and Shining Armor sitting between them. Ponies cheered at Celestia's remark as the withe alicorn lifter a cup with three attack dice in it, shaking it furiously before spilling its contents onto the board.
Celestia's grin became wider. "Two fours and a three." she taunted with a chuckle.
Luna didn't faze as she raised her cup along with two defense dice and rolled. Celestia's face turned to shock when she saw the numbers. "Huzza, TWO AND FIVE!" she shouted, using the royal Canterlot voice. Celestia was forced to remove a unit from her territory, only leaving five on her side and eight on Luna's defending side.
It was Luna's turn to grin. "Give up, dear sister, for your defeat is already set in stone. I own forty-eight territories and you only have half the Griffon Kingdom."
"Never, I will not fall to you invasion!" Celestia spat back as she began to roll again. Sweat trickled down the side of her forehead as she prayed for high numbers. Upon letting the dice roll across the board Celestia smiled when she found she received a six in her mix of numbers. An almost guaranteed defeat of an enemy unit.
Oooo's from the crowd could be heard and they all went quiet, leaning in to watch these last few minutes of battle between the two regal sister came to an end. Luna looked at the six. She would lose this battle if she didn't get a six on her roll, so she nervously rolled her dice.
The crowd fell silent as Celestia picked up one of Luna's units and moved it to the dead pile. "I have the one die advantage here dear sister." Celestia began as she started to roll. Luna replied with a grunt before rolling as well. On the next roll Luna was forced to pull another unit, and again and again until she was forced to give up her territory card to Celestia. The sun goddess smiled triumphantly as she moved four of her units to the newly conquered territory.
Luna only glared. "Tis was a foolish move. I still have forty-seven territories, and you only have six, all of which are under-armed." She said collecting her reenforcements and placing them on the neigboring territory from the one she had just lost. "Thirty-six units to attack your feeble ten. Admit defeat!" Luna demanded and the crowd waited for a response.
Celestia looked around the stadium. Sure this was only a harmless game, but she still had to be compeditive and backing down was not an option. She remade eye contact with Luna. "Never. I will go down in battle, and I will never surrender to you."
"Fine then, so it shall be." Luna replied trading dice with her sister. She set up to attack, rolling the first round of dice. "Three, three and five." she said, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
Celestia looked at the numbers, defeat really was only a few dice throws away. She rolled either way and recieved lower numbers and pulled a unit, making it a three on forty. Both sister rolled again, this time Luna having to remove a unit. But from there Celestia quickly lost the territory she had just taken over and lost it to her sister once more. After that Luna quickly dismantled the rest of -what was left- her sister's army.
The crowd waited as the last roll of the dice took place and Celestia finally had to admit defeat, placing her very last unit into the dead pile. Luna controlled the whole board. The who stadium began to cheer for Luna's victory and the two alicorns stood up and embraced each other in a hug.
"You've learned well, Lulu." Celestia complimented with a smile.
Luna returned the smile. "I learned from the best, Celly."
Author's Note
Another silly one-shot
So if you don't know what Risk is it's a board game, now the rules in this fic are mostly correct aside from the reinforcements (as it has been years since i last played that game). This one was my idea so like or dislike this one it was kind of fun quick write story.
