Equestrian Warriors

(Inside the Pocket-Dream)

It was a copy of Ponyville, but the sky was completely covered with an aurora and many of the buildings were floating in the air. Hundreds of smog like creatures wearing masks were flying in the air, some holding ponies inside their bodies, their heads were their only body part outside the smog-like creatures. Several other ponies were either on the buildings or the ground. A much larger version of Mist Lord was sitting in a throne made of some of the buildings.

"Well, it seems that all of my guests are finally here. Great job my Nightmarious, here's some food for you." Mist Lord said, pointing one of his fingers in their direction, shooting several balls of purple aura at them. Many of the Nightmarious chased after the orbs, dropping the ponies onto the ground.

"Now then, let's see who we have here." He continued, looking down at the groups of ponies, as many of them trembled in fear. As many of them shake, the same purple aura flowed out of them and into Mist Lord's flaming head. "Oh yes, that's some good fear right there." He complimented them, enjoying every second of it.

"You better stop this before you get what's coming to you!" Spike shouted, causing Mist Lord to looked down at the little dragon.

"Well well well, who is this little fella?" Mist Lord asked, raising a brow.

"I'm S-Spike, Spike the Dragon!" He stated, nervously lifting up his fists.

"Oh, this is rich. Okay then kid, give me your best shot. Go ahead, right here." He said, pointing to his cheekbone.

Spike lifted up a fist, his entire arm trembling with fear. As it did, a purple aura seeped out of Spike and flew into one of Mist Lord's eyes. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, causing the purple aura to disappear. The moment he threw his punch, his fist was engulfed in a green flame.

"Dragon Fist!" Spike suddenly shouted, as he slammed his fist into Mist Lords cheekbone. Once it make contact, there was a tiny explosion around his fist.

"Ow!" Mist Lord shouted, covering his cheekbone.

Spike looked down at his hand, seeing the flames slowly disappear into nothing.

Mist Lord moved his hand from his cheekbone, revealing small burn marks. "Well then, that was certainly a surprise." He said as the marks on his cheekbone disappeared. "Not only did you make a mark, you also managed you hurt me!" He said, bursting into laughter. "Oh man, it feels so good to feel pain again!" Mist Lord continued laughing for a few more seconds until he finally stopped. "Oh, by the way kid. You've got a little someone here." He said, pointing at Spike forehead.

"Wha-" Spike was interrupted when he got flicked, pushing him back several feet away.

"Spike!" The Mane 6 and the CMC yelled in shock. Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Sweetie Belle ran towards his direction.

"Spike, are you okay!?" Sweetie Belle yelled, holding Spike in her hooves. She looked at his forehead, noticing a small glowing dot on his forehead. As soon as she noticed it, the dot instantly disappeared as Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy ran up to Spike's side.

Mist Lord continued laughing.

'Why are ya'll doin this for?!"

Mist Lord shot his head up, turning his attention towards the crowd again. "Which one you you said that?" Mist Lord asked in a demanding voice.

"I did!" Applejack replied, the ponies around her moving away.

"Oh yes, you are one of Gumdramon's friends aren't you?" He asked, leaning the side of his skull and placing it on his fist.

"Wait, ya know bout Gumdramon?" Applejack asked, confused by his question.

"I'd be surprised if I didn't know him. After all, he did lock me away inside the darkest corners of his mind."

"WHAT?!" Applejack and the other girls shouted.

Behind the throne of building, Gumdramon and Luna were hiding, listening to the conversation.

"Why are we not attacking that beast this instant?" Luna asked Gumdramon.

"We need him to be perfectly distracted or else he'll get the upper hand. Once I get the first few hits in, you'll create a portal out of the dream world and I'll push him in."

"You want to send him into the real world?" Luna asked, concerned about the plan.

"He won't be able to do much in the real world. He's the master of the mind, not the master of reality." Gumdramon said reassuringly.

"My granny always told me that 'if ya'll wanna do somethin' bad, just don't do it'."

"Oh really? Well then..." Mist Lord quickly grabbed Applejack, lifting her up to his face. "Let me tell you a little something about me." He said, as music suddenly started playing in the background.

"Well, Mist Lord hasn't always been this bad, I was a scared little kid once. Now I know I can be happy as a lad, because I'm terrible, baby." He sang, twirling Applejack in the air.

"Did your granny say listen to your heart, be who you are on the inside? I need three words to tear her argument apart... your granny lied!" He yelled, pulling her closer to his face.

"I'd rather be scary! Like a shark in a sunken pirate wreck. Wreck the deck and make it look scary!" He summoned a pirate ship out of nowhere and poked holes in it.

"I will gladly break a healthy woman's neck. Just a sec!" Pretending to snap his own neck.

"Don't you know? Dreams are dumb, dumb, dumb, they cover everything in glitter. Bitter!" He said in disgust.

"Oh, and here they come, come, come, to the darkest thing in Dreamland. Ha, my hand." As white clouds flew into his hands, he crushed them, turning them into more Nightmarious.

"I just love free fears, and you have some big fears." He opened his mouth, causing purple aura to slowly flow out of Applejack.

"Now!" Gumdramon whispered yelled to himself, running into the open. "I think it's time for a little Drillmon fusion!" He stated, pulling out the D-Drive and pressing one of the buttons.

"ERROR ERROR! FUSION MALFUNCTION! PLEASE STAND BY!" The D-Drive shouted, causing Mist Lord to dropped Applejack and slowly turn around.

"Oh no..." Gumdramon whispered.

"Well, well, well, little Gummy's having trouble with his look, you little semi-demi-Digimon." Mist Lord continued to sing, grabbing Gumdramon by the tail and throwing him to the ground.

"Ouch! What a terrible performance, get the hook! Get it? You don't swing it like you used to, man." He continued, using a fishing rod to hook Gumdramon and fling him once again.

"Yet I have to give you credit for my start and your tattoos on the outside." He lifted Gumdramon's shirt up a little, revealing several colors glowing underneath, but Gumdramon quickly pulled it down.

"For just like you I made myself a work of art, I'll never hide; I can't, I'm too scary! Watch me battle like a bully that's real tough, strut my stuff; my stuff is so scary!" He sang, throwing Gumdramon like a ragdoll several more times.

"Send your armies but they'll never be enough my skull's too tough." He said, banging the top of his skull.

"Gumdramon, you could try, try, try, but you can't expect a Digimon to beat a Demonspawn." Mist Lord slammed Gumdramon into the ground, leaving a huge crater.

"You will die, die, die! Now it's time for me to take apart your aching heart." He snapped his fingers, causing the entire dream world to turn dark. Everyone was glowing their colors in the darkness, including Gumdramon and Mist Lord.

"Far from the ones who abandoned you, chasing the love of these ponies who made you feel wanted." He picked Gumdramon back up by the foot, as Gumdramon was completely ragdolling.

"You try to be tough, but your armor's just not hard enough" Threw Gumdramon up and caught him into his other hand, then slamming and sliding him into the ground.

"Gummy! Now it's time to kick your hiney! Ever seen someone so scary!" He threw him into the air again, but this time he let him fall onto the ground.

"Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see. C'est la vie mon ami, I'm so scary! Now I'll kill you, so prepare your final plea, just for me." Mist Lord started circling around Gumdramon as he laid there lifelessly.

"You'll never be quite as scary, you wish you were big and scary!" He lifted up a hand and was about to slam Gumdramon with it.

"Not so fast!" Luna shouted, shooting a beam from her horn, hitting Mist Lord in the chest.

"No fair! I wasn't looking!" Mist Lord shouted as the laser continued to blast him. "Ugh, forget this!" He slashed the darkness with one of his claws, opening a portal. "I'm outta here!" He yelled, saluting them as he entered the portal.

Everyone ran towards Gumdramon, all of them mumbling worried words. Princess Luna flew down towards Gumdramon, lifting his head up.

"Gumdramon, are you all right?" She asked with a worried look in her eyes.

"*cough* Aw you do care." Gumdramon said in a exhausted, yet joking way.

Luna blushed, dropping his head back on the ground. "Of course we-uh I was. You have proven yourself and thus a care for your well-being." He said, a little blush still showing.

"Glad to know I finally won your trust." Gumdramon said, laughing a little.

"Gumdramon!" Several feminine voice shouted, as the Mane 6 jumped onto him, pinning him down in a joyful group hug.

"Thanks girls, but I am actually in incredible pain at the moment, so could we please save the hugs for later?" They all said 'sorry' as they got off him. "So Princess Luna, you think you could get everypony out here?"

"That fiends dark power is no longer controlling this place. I have full control over this dream." She stated as she started to glow her horn. Suddenly the dark void was engulfed in light.

Mist Lord exited the portal and entered a familiar room. It was a very dark and rocky room with six thrones on one end and a large door on the other.

"Well, this is a nice surprise." A familiar voice said from behind.

"Ah, Lord Plasmamon, it's been awhile, hasn't it?" Mist Lord said in a happy tone.

"Indeed, several thousands of years to be exact. I see that you have finally returned to me."

"Yeah, someone finally opened a doorway into Gumdramon's mind and let me out. Talk about a lucky break." Mist Lord said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Luck had nothing to do with it." A deep, robotic voice said from the door. The two lords turned around to see a beaten down machine with three metal, spider-like legs, a single hand with blade-like fingers, and a circular orb at the base of the body, with a symbol of three balls in the shape of an upside down triangle. "It was bound to happen eventually, you just needed to wait long enough for it to happen.

"Lord NRG, you've finally awoken." Lord Plasmamon said.

"Yes, though my body is in shamble, my mind is perfectly intact." He said, pointing at the orb.

"Well, it looks like a family reunion! Are the other guys around?" Mist Lord asked.

"Sadly the others are unable to cooperate anymore." Lord Plasmamon clarified.

"Then it is just the three of us, our armies are too busy keeping our universes under control, and none of us are capable of battle. It seems the odds are not in our favor." Lord NRG said, looking at Lord PLasmamon.

"No matter, we still have DarkShoutmon and his experiments on our side. Besides, what's the rush? Gumdramon's not going anywhere." Lord Plasmamon used a tentacle to press a button on the wall. A large hologram of Gumdramon appeared in between all three of the Lords. "He has nowhere else to go."
