Fulfill Your Destiny
Confrontation
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn Canterlot, A funeral was happening, for Shining Armor and Cadence. Besides Twilight, there were many ponies crying and mourning for the loss of Equestria's best couple. Rainbow was sad that her lifelong friend Fluttershy did not attend this tragic moment. Discord was there, and even Prince Blueblood was there to attend this along with Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis. Celestia and everypony bowed their heads in silence. "Everypony." Celestia began her speech. "We must always remember that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence died for every one of us." They all became saddened again. "They were loyal to Equestria and their subjects, and protect us with their love. Their spirits are living at peace together as one. Now, how did this happen you all wonder?..... They were killed. By Spike."
Everypony who didn't know that was shocked and surprised. They wondered how could a nice and sweet baby dragon commit such a heinous act like this.
"He was the one that killed them, for he is really angry with us. All of us." Celestia continued. Of course, she did blame herself for all of this happening. "This is my fault." many ponies murmured to themselves. They then thought to themselves how could this be the greatest mare in Equestria's fault? "I have done a very Terrible thing one thousand years ago. I killed Spike's parents for control over this land"
They all went from confused to shocked. Twilight cried more on Rarity's shoulder, feeling both depressed and guilt stricken. "Oh shush." Rarity said really softly to her close friend. The purple allicorn felt Applejack place a hoof on her shoulder to comfort her.
"And now, Spiie has turned the Crystal Empire against us all, and they fight for him. He gave me the red spot for what I did."
"A old pony's death sentence." Luna added
"Exactly. Now he wants to kill me out of revenge, and he will not stop until he has succeded. He will be the king if I fall from grace, but don't worry. All hope is not lost."
They all looked at her. Maybe she might have a solution.
"I think I know why he is doing this. He is affiliated with an old enemy of mine from a millennia ago. I will find the one for turning Spike against us, and he will pay for what he made our favorite baby dragn do."
Everypony felt a small boost of confidence growing back inside themselves. Twilight however, was not that convinced, for she was to deep in her broken heart.
"And we might find Fluttershy to help her understand." Luna said to her sister quietly.
"I'm sure we will, sister." Celestia however, wasn't that certain of that, and worried that Fluttershy was too angry to even think about reconsideration with her friends.
"Don't worry, princess' we will help you all the way." Applejack said proudly.
"Twilight, please. We know how you feel, but you got to pull yourself together." Rainbow reassured. "We will find Spike and Fluttershy"
The purple allicorn finally stopped her crying and slowly lifted her head tall. "I.... I know." She said, wiping a few remaining tears from her face.
"Where will even find him?" Rarity asked
Celestia and Luna were thinking about where he would vanish to. "We don't know." Said Luna. "But one ing is for sure. He would nt go to far."
"Can't kill for trying." Pinkie noted
"Right." Then Luna remembered a spell and had an idea from it. "Oh wait. My night vision spell." She said
"Night vision spell?" Asked Rainbow
Celestia also started to remember and think that it just might work. "Oh yes. That would be very useful."
"What is this night vision spell used for?" Applejack asked
"It helps me enhance my eyesight to hel me look through footsteps of where somepony was standing and it will take me where he has gone."
"That sounds like a brilliant idea." Rarity said. "We can use that."
"Don't forget about a fluttershy." Twilight noted
"Of course. We would never forget about her." Applejack said
"Well then, it is settled. We will find him around the outskirts of Ponyville and see if we can find him with my sister's power." Celestia stated. "Rainbow, you and the others can come with me."
"Awesome. I can't wat to kick this mastermind's ass." Rainbow said in a very upbeat tone.
Then Celestia looked on below the mountain, and saw Ponyville from a far distance. "You should never have done this, Torygg. We will find you, and your followers and put in end to this chaos." She thought. She looked at the others again "everypony, listen. This mastermind is named Torygg. He is a very large adult dragon. I have dealt with hm before, but he escaped before I could have defeated him."
"You think we can take him on?" Asked Pinkie
"I don't know. A pair of princess' like me and my sister have our limits. Our magic might not be able to stop this mighty dragon."
"We'll help you take him down for you." Said Applejack. "We will give that varmint what for."
"We have to be careful. I can assure you that we will not be alone on our meeting with him. He has followers that hate me as much as he does."
"Nothing we can't handle."
"Don't get Cocky, Rainbow." Luna reprimanded. "He has more followers than you think he has. He even has some dragon friends of his own working with hm."
"Luna is right. We probably might not win on this one. Besides, we want to know what he and Spike are planning together. Oh, and one more thing I should say, he has a right hand minion named Emerald Fang, who has very magical powers like Discord does.
Then out of a magical cloud, the master of chaos appeared in the flesh. "Wait, don't forget about me. You might need my help too. Emerald Fang is a nemesis of mine." Discord stated.
"Good idea, Discord." Said Twilight confidentially. Yes, she has felt some confidence slowly growing back inside of her.
"Yeah, and maybe when they all try to attack, we can just get out of there no problem." Rainbow added.
"Perfect."
"Perfect. We must go now." Celestia said. "Blueblood, you are in charge for now."
Then the pompous white stallion made a big smile. "I have waited a long time for this." He said.
"Follow me. We are getting our friends back." Celestia stated. Then they all rushed to Ponyville to begin their search
Back in the hideout, Everyone was more than excited and confident on killing Celestia and taking over Equestria to a new order. Meanwhile, Spike was writing in his journal. He was writing
Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were dead. Celestia grows more afraid of me, which is good, because I want her to be scared of me for anything I might throw at her when she is finally killed with her blood staining my sword. She will pay for all the pain that she caused me in my life. They will all pay for what they have done to me. Meantime, me and my new army should get ready for battle. Now that everypony knows, me, Emerald Fang, and my uncle Torygg decided to take action and attack. Turns out the time is right to fulfill my revenge. Mom, dad, I swear to you, I will have avenge you. Wherever you are in the sky, I hope you will watch me and see how proud you are of me.
Then he concluded his little book. Indeed, turns out the time has come for him to mortally strike Celestia at last. As he had written in his little journal, he and everyone are preparing for war and waiting form support to the other countries that pledged it to him and his allies. Of course, Celestia does have supporters of her own all over the earth. Despite dragons and many powerful creatures by his side, he knew it would not be completely easy.
Nevertheless, he went back to his uncle's chamber and went to talk to him about the plan and how it will work precisely. "Uncle Torygg?" he said to him. Just like that, the large gargantuan dragon looked at him, as did Emerald Fang, who was beside him as he would normally be.
"Ah, Spike, what is it, nephew?" he asked
"So, do you think this plan might work?" he asked nervously
"Well, You may have slain Cadence and Shining Armor, but we both know that Celestia, and Luna are far more powerful.
"Yeah. That's true."
"But it does not mean we cannot give up on hope on trying to take back Equestria and restore order to this land. We will strike tomorrow. I promise you."
Then the confidence was back inside the baby dragon. Then a minoboar soldier rushed to them. "Torygg, there is a yellow pegasus outside the lair. She says she wants to see Spike."
Spike then recognized this pegasus in particular. "Does she have a pink mane and look really adorable?"
"Yeah. How do you know?" asked the creature.
"I know her. That's Fluttershy"
"Oh. One of your ex-friends eh? Just say the word Spike and we will get rid of her." said Emerald Fang
"No. Bring her in." Spike ordered
"Bring her in? what if she is here for revenge?" The Minoboar said. "What if she is a spy for Celestia to attack us out of nowhere?"
"Please, Redtusk. That is an order." Torygg said
"Y-yes sir." he replied reluctantly. Then he left the room and two minogoats walked in with Fluttershy walking between them. The yellow pegasus gasped at the sight of Torygg and her dragon phobia came back to her.
The baby dragon didn't know if he should be nice to Fluttershy because he saw how much he really does care about him, or not because she is friends with Twilight and an ally with Celestia. "Fluttershy what- what are you doing here?" Spike said to her finally.
"Well I- you see- i was..... Worried about you." The yellow pegasus replied. "I know you are angry with everypony, and I am really sorry about your mommy and daddy." She nervously pawed her hoof to the ground with guilt
"You are?" Spike asked
"Yes. I cannot believe what Celestia did to you. I want you to understand that I care about you very much."
The baby dragon was touched by this. He remembered on the day he first met Emerald and his new friends and followers, asked him if he was alright. "Well, you were in on the prank you pulled me." He retorted
"I know. And I am sorry. I just thought it would be funny since it was April Fools day."
"I didn't want to be pranked." He turned his back on her "you all thought I was such easy prey for a so-called innocent practical jokes. You all treated me like garbage when I was with all of you."
Fluttershy felt more guilty "I don't. Spike, I care about you with all my heart. Please try to understand that."
"I think you said enough, miss Fluttershy." Emerald said "I am going to have to ask you to leave."
"Peace, Emerald." Said Torygg. "Let us treat our unexpected guest with respect."
"And ummm, who are you?" Fluttershy asked him with fright
"Oh yes, I believe an introduction must be heard. My name is Torygg, Spike's uncle and leader of the Dragonists. This is my loyal bodyguard, Emerald Fang."
"Hello." Said the green dragon.
"Oh um, nice to meet you?" Fluttershy remarked nervously.
"So you were looking for me?" Spike asked
"Of course I was. You are my friend." She wrapped her arm around his shoulders. "Please. Let me help you."
Spike was thinking that maybe she was right, perhaps she does care about him so much. Maybe in fact that she wouldn't even come looking for him if she didn't care. "Well, I suppose I can trust you." He said at last
The yellow pegasus smiled.
Then Torygg felt something on his head, like a mild migraine.
"What's wrong, Torygg?" Spike asked him on worriment.
"I sense a presence that I have not felt in over one thousand years. Almost like...." Then a magical cloud appeared. Out of thin air, Celestia, and Luna. there was also Discord with Twilight, her friends, and Flash Sentry appeared in front of the mighty dragon. Several royal guards accompanied them too for protection and backup.
The baby dragon was now scared. "He did they fine me?" He said in his mind. Now the base is compromised and everypony knows where he has been all this time.
"Ah, Celestia and Luna. What a pleasant surprise. Oh and Discord, I see you are free from your stone prison."
"That's right. I am here to fight for justice, starting by bringing you to it." He said proudly.
"You have caused us enough grief and despair for one day, Torygg." Celestia said. Then she noticed Spike and Fluttershy together. She was happy to see them, but she focused more on the dragon Titan. "Torygg, you have twisted Spike's mind in hatred, and rage. We will make sure you are out to justice."
"Tut tut, Celestia. There is no need to be rational about this, what what."
"Don't you tut tut us, you monster." Luna barked.
"You have turned Spike, and the Crystal Empire against us, and betray us." Celestia added
"And my brother is dead because of you!" Twilight said in
"Twilight, Twilight, Twilight." The large dragon said "I did not harm your kind."
"Yes you did!" Rainbow shouted "you made us lost our own friend, a member of our family!"
"You guys are not my family!" Spike said. "You use me like a slave. So now that a Celestia is here, I will have my REVENGE!" He pulled out his green sword, ready to strike at the princess
"Spike, please. Come back to us. We can help you." Luna said
"We all know that's a lie, Luna." Spike said
"It is not a lie!" Twilight begged. "I can't believe you would do this to us. My number one assistant, focused and trying to kill us all." She looked at the large dragon with pure hate. "You took him away from us!" She shouted
"No, Celestia is the only one I need to worry about."
"Whatever! Look at what you have done recently!" Rainbow said.
"You and your friends mistreatment of my nephew has done that itself." Torygg firmly commented. "So it was your fault, not mine."
"Why you-!" The cyan pegasus tried to fly over to the Eragon's face to give him a black eye, but Celestia stopped her with her wing.
"No Rainbow. You know you can't take him head on."
Rainbow Dash groaned "I know, you're right." She growled silently while gritting her teeth like she was going to break them all
"Fluttershy, why are you hear?" Asked Applejack
"I was just trying to make him feel better. I can't believe you all interrupted us like this."
"He killed Shining Armor and Cadence." Rarity reminded
"Because of what she did to him."
"We know what Celestia did was wrong, and it was all in the past." Twilight said
Spike then felt his urge to hold back breaking instantly. "Which is why I am going to kill her." He was getting ready to charge at them full of zeal, but Torygg caught him,
"Easy, Spike. Now is not a good time."
"Aww, but they are standing right here?" Spike whined
"No now, let's not be so frustrated."
"What are you planning to do after you kill me, Spike?"
"I will bring back Dracotopolis, and bring a whole new, happier world for all once you are dealt with."
"Don't do this, Spike. We beg of you." Luna said
"Shut up! You will all pay for what you will do."
"And besides, we already have support from Prance, Trottingham, many Zebrican countries, and lastly the Crystal Empire to lend us support"
The princess of the sun looked more horrified. All of these countries turning against her right now? Now she didn't know what to do for she was too sad and too guilty. "What have I done?" She said.
"So you might as well forget it, we have numbers greater than yours."
"No. Never. We will not surrender the throne of Equestria's anger-driven baby dragon. We promise you, you will not get away with this Torygg."
"Oh, but we both know that I already have, Celestia. You are the ones who are finished" he snapped his fingers and a variety of many dozen guards appeared, ready to fight their enemies. "Seize them." He ordered
The soldiers clashed with Celestia and her allies. Unexpectedly, they were fighting pretty well despite being outnumbered.
A few guards were bleeding heavily, but kept on fighting.
"There is too many of them, Princess!" Twilit said after punching a griffon in the face to the ground.
"Should we help our soldiers?" Gerald and Geraldine asked Torygg.
"Oh no. They will be fine. Celestia and the others do not stand a chance against them. The twins did not like this, but obeyed his orders. They, Gaston, Tyrus, Imari, Jack and other captains watched the fight.
Discord was smacking dozens of enemies with his large flail while spinning like a tornado. He was like a bowling ball while the enemies were the pins.
"How do you like e master of chaos now?" He taunted.
"Fall back!" Celestia said. "Retreat." Then she used the magic from her horn to transport her and the others fighting with her out f the cavern.
"No! They escaped!" Spike said. He cursed under his breath and threw his sword to the ground.
"We have to go after them!" A soldier exclaimed
"No!" Torygg ordered firmly. "Do not worry about them, let them go. We will give them their rightful comeuppance with war tomorrow. For now, we need to have our rest."
Spike didn't like it, but he decided to go along with it. They all exited the room and he went to his chamber to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be war in Equestria
