The Kingdoms of Equestria: Conquest
Two: The path to... Crusading?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight looked at the opposing gates.
"Shouldn't we be atleast a little stronger before we go take on Ignis? I had to pass through there in order to come here and I know they have at least two other ponies protecting it! Besides Warlord Trixie, Those two will most likely be there, and waiting...." Fluttershy said, nervously.
"It's ok. Trixie might be a bit of trouble, but if we work together, then we most likely can pull it off." Twilight said, waving her hand in a way to say 'No big deal'
Eevee imitated her, then ran down her shoulder and leaped off.
"I'd like it to be a 100 percent chance that we can do it..." Fluttershy whispered, sitting down.
Jigglypuff patted her on the back.
"Thanks jigglypuff..." Fluttershy said, standing up.
"Are you ready?" Twilight asked, slinging a bag around her shoulder.
"Lady Twilight, are you sure you want to do this?" The stonefaced guard asked.
He looked identical to all the rest, white skinned, blue haired with golden armor on.
"I'll be fine, I got Fluttershy with me. We can do it!" Twilight said.
"EEEVEEE!" Eevee proudly annouced.
Fluttershy took a deep breath and said softly "Ok..."
They walked out the gates, and onto the path of conquest.
"You WHAT!?" A blue skinned unicorn yelled.
She had a slightly paler blue mane, and a pendant that looked like a magic wand with a trail of magic behind it.
"W-warlord Trixie, those two colts told us to do it! Uh... What were their names...." The pegasus said, shaking in his boots.
"Snips and Snails!" The unicorn said, shaking as well.
"Those two are loyal followers to THE GRRRREAT AND POWERFUL TRRRRIXIE! It would set a bad example for Trixie to punish them... But Trixie must do something..." Trixie pondered.
She thought for a minute and said "AH-HA! Comet tail! Bulk Biceps! You shall help me, THE GRRRREAT AND POWERFUL TRRRIXIE, protect the kingdom! Since this was partly your fault..."
Comet tail looked surprised while Bulk Biceps was gushing over the fact he could help. Their pokemon just stood to the side, knowing this couldn't turn out well...
"So what's the plan, Lady Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.
"Uh... Wing it?" She said, nervously.
The two pokemon, who were walking next to them, fell over, face first into the dirt.
"Uh.... S-shouldn't we stop here and figure something out though!?" Fluttershy asked, panicking a little.
"Nah! We'll be-" She said as she was interupped by a yellow skinned Earth pony filly.
"So, wha's tha new Warl'rd of Aurora doin' so far from home?" The filly asked, crossing her arms.
She sounded like she was from one of the south-west kingdom's. She was wearing a giant bushy hat that extended past her knees and also blended in well with her red hair, with two horns sticking out from the top. She had on a white shirt with a blue skirt with red floral patterns on it. It covered her feet so it was difficult to tell what shoes she had on. Her eyes were a sunset orange.
"Maybe, she's going to challenge Ignis?" A white skinned unicorn filly suggested, coming out from behind Fluttershy.
She had two tone colored hair, pink and a very light lavender, and green eyes. She was wearing a green dress that slid over to left side, but her right side was covered by a long sleeved black shirt. It also had a round symbol stitched in gold. The dress, as well, had pink floral patterns on it.
"Or maybe she's lost? Did you two ever think of that?" A orange skinned pegasus filly suggested as well, coming out the way the earth pony filly came.
She was more armored than the two, and she was wearing something more seen on warlords. She was wearing silver chest armor and She wore black pants that were ripped in different places, and it wasn't as armored. Her hair was a wild hot pink and it was obvious she was sort of the girl who went crazy.
"Scoots Ah don' think they're lost..." The earth pony filly said.
"Yeah, I agree with Applebloom." The unicorn said.
"Fine! Take sides!" Scootaloo yelled.
"Calm down Scootaloo!" The unicorn yelled again.
"Yeah, Thi' time Ah agree wit' Sweetie Belle." Applebloom said.
"Hm."
"Uh... We really need to get going so-" Twilight began before she was interupped by scootaloo.
"So you are going to conquer Ignis!" She said, victoriously.
"Yes, but we need to get going now otherwise they might attack while we're gone!" Twilight yelled, frustrated.
"Yeah, but later, you're going to need an army. Not just a warlord and one pegasus." Sweetie said.
"She's right ya'll." Applebloom agreed.
"Psh. What are you, an encyclopedia?" Scootaloo countered Sweetie.
"What no! Why would you call me that!"
"Because you are one!"
"GIRLS!" Twilight yelled.
One by one the girls turned to face the lavender unicorn. Twilight put a hand on her forehead and moaned.
"Thank Arceus that it's over..." She muttered.
Fluttershy stepped forward and said "Now girls, We really need to get through. If you don't mind, We'll be going now."
"Ugh... Fine!" Scootaloo groaned.
"Thank you." Fluttershy said.
They passed the three fillies and kept pushing on until they saw the flaming gates of ignis.
"Well, here we are..." Twilight said.
There was almost no guards inside and it was almost empty, strangely too empty.
"They're expecting us..." Twilight muttered.
