War of Survival

The lost of the Crystal Empire was a very painful day for all who lost. Almost all the population from the crystal empire and the surviving yaks moves and made a refugee camp at Neighagra Falls. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence (with their daughter, Flurry Heart in her arms) did as best as they can to care for the survivors. They wrote another letter to Princess Celestia about the lost of the Crystal Empire. The food wasn't good enough to feed everypony and yaks alike.

The Mane 6 were so late that had to travel to Dodge city to take the next train that goes directly to the Crystal Empire, but when they were on their way they saw the sunrise and Twilight was on the verge of panic, it took all of her friends to calm her down while they were on their way in full speed. But after a few hours, the train stopped again because a chariot of royal guards came to pick up the Mane Six to Canterlot, while the girls were worried Twilight were horrified at the core. When they arrived in Canterlot, Princess Celestia managed to calm Twilight down by telling her she was not in trouble. But Equestria might be, she explains about the event that she heard from Cadence from these 'Yeti' race.

Twilight was relieved that her brother, sister-in-law and niece was alright but they were all sad that their Yak allies had lost their home to these 'Snow Apes' (Shining Armor called them that). But when the words about the Yak's rulers death, especially about the death of Prince Rutherford, everypony was sad. Pinkie was devastated because Rutherford was her very good friend. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna told them that they will make sure the refugees from the Crystal Empire and Yakyakistan recieve help and also, they will try to make contact with the Yetis and make them undo the damage done.

Shining Armor, after loosing the Crystal Empire and many good soldiers, was very furious at the core. Now he was convinced that the Yeti started this conflict and their Yak allies didn't do anything wrong and they need to be desposed off. His wife, Cadence had other thoughts. She was sad that their home has been taken from them but she couldn't help but still wonder if the Yeti King told them the truth. He could have been more reasonable yes, but what if he didn't lied about the Yaks killed two of his subjects first and was only seeking justice.

*Newely conquered Crystal Empire, King Hercules*

The Yetis' victory over the Yaks and the Crystal Empire was short lived because right after the battle, King Hercules send his insect spies to watch over their surviving enemies and he now knows that he and his race will have more enemies than wanted.

Sitting on his throne Hercules was looking over the reports on the progress of the repairs to the city and they were sadly far behind schedule. It couldn't be helped though due to the small bit of knowledge of the Crystal Ponies culture, arts and society so Hercules was forced to rebuild the city in Yeti arts. The crystal ponies and yaks that was under the Yeti mercy was approached by the Yeti king himself and he decided that those who want to stay will have to live under Yeti law in return to maintain their freedom, otherwise they will have to leave which was more welcomed, not trusting the Yeti the remaining ponies and yaks left the crystal empire.

So now, the Yetis must issue out rations for them bit by bit. Thankfully their chaos magic gave them the capabilities to bring up more than one food storage vault. Looking at the amount of food they bring, it could last out more than eight months.

What Hercules call for is a perfect defense line against any invasion if it should come. The Frost Wyrms was send to patrol from the sky while the Dire Wolves are used as scouts to alert the Yetis if they see anything comming to them. While the beasts of the Yeti were guarding the borders, Hercules' soldiers used their chaos magic to make a large statue to honour those who had fallen in battle.

It was a fifteen foot statue that held King Hercules, standing atop of a hill with both his arms (with his fists) in the air, roaring. On the right was a statue of a Yeti shaman holding his staff up in the air with a replica of chaos magic in it that was in the air. On the left was a statue of a Yeti marauder, whom was holding a unicorn by its throat and had his axe ready in the other hand to strike the pony. Last but not least, in front of King Hercules was a statue of a sabertooth tearing the throat of a yak on the ground. But what the Yetis like most of all of the statue was the carvings underneath the statues. It held all the fights that lead to the battle of the city. Both over and underneath all the carvings were all the artful symbols and Yeti shamans and enchanters.

King Hercules had his shamans study the odd stone called the crystal heart and according to them, that odd stone contains magical energy that has the power to influence the air and the ground. King Hercules ordered his shamans to try and reform the crystal heart into a tool for their benefits with their chaos magic.

While they were at it, King Hercules use his chaos magic to breed more beasts to assist his kingdom from dangers.

Rot Wendigoes are infested Werecreatures of Chaos serving the Yeti as their assassins and raiders.

Feral Bats are closely resemble more normal bats in general outline, but they are far larger, with wingspans of up to fifteen feet and bodies the size of large dogs and they are the Yetis' second air force unit.

Ice Snakes are the borders sentries of the Yetis and one bite from their fangs and it will turn the victim's entire body into ice.

Ice Wraiths are swift, elemental creatures of ice and snow, the Yetis' more deadly and fearful assassins.

Hercules will put these new war beasts to good use to support his race. He also send magical messages from the crystal city to the other Yeti settlements and told them to prepare to assist. While the city is rebuilding in Yeti image, more Yeti warriors and mages came to King Hercules' army to be ready for battle.

(Eight hours later)

With the help of the Yetis' beasts and their chaos magic, the Empire was well on its way to getting back on its feet, in Yeti image. The buildings have been restored and put to good use, more Yetis joined Hercules' army along with more war beasts and weapons. King Hercules could only recieve more letters and messages from his subjects about them offer their service. It didn't take long before one of his conjured spies reported to him about an army comming towards his kingdom, the only difference is that this was another army of equines with golden armor. In front of the army was the crystal rulers from early along with eight other equines.

Among those other equines accompany the crystal rulers, one of them was a mare who is purple furred unicorn with a straight violet mane with a pink stripe through it. She stood at five foot six and had a rather modest figure with low C-cup breasts. What she wore was a pair of tight blue jeans, a dark purple turtleneck with a pair of matching earmuffs.

Standing directly to her right was a light blue pegasus mare, as indicated by her wings which she was using to currently hover about a foot off of the ground. She had a spiky rainbow colored mane and tail while her figure was more athletic than the others only possessing a mid B-cup for her chest size. She wore a pair of black track pants, a blue t-shirt under a grey windbreaker.

To the purple one's immediate left stood an orange furred earth pony mare, as indicated by her lack of extremities such as wings or a horn. This mare had a long blonde mane and tail done up in 'ponytails' and sported a very defined yet not unappealing muscular figure as she stood at five foot ten and had a high C-cup bust. Her own ensemble included a pair of worn faded blue jeans, a dark brown jacket and an old, but well taken care of, stetson.

Next to, but also slightly behind the blue pegasus floated another pegasus only she had light yellow fur with a long pink mane and tail. Out of all the mares present she had the most impressive figure, she stood at five foot ten with flawless curves and had at least an E-cup bust. While her outfit was meant to be conservative it did nothing to hide her figure as she wore a pair of tight fitting skinny jeans, a dark green turtleneck, a fuzzy pink scarf and a matching pink beanie.

Opposite of the yellow pegasus was another unicorn, as indicated by her finely manicured white horn. Her fur was a shining white that put Shining's to shame, while her purple mane was done in elegant curls. She stood a respectable five foot six and had a well cared for figure with a mid C-cup bust. The attire she had selected was as functional as it was fashionable as she had tight fitting purple pants, a white fur lined purple coat and finally a fur lined purple cap.

The last of the mares was an earth pony like the farmer who was happily hopping all around the group. She had bright pink fur with a darker pink mane and tail that were very poofy. When standing still she stood at five foot eight and possessed a fuller figure that filled out in all the right spots as seen by her high C-cup bust and slightly more pronounced flank's. She probably had the most outlandish cold weather attire of all as she wore a pair of bright yellow pants, a completely fuzzy blue jacket and a white and red striped cap.

In front of those equines, where two most special ones like the female crystal ruler who had both horn and wings. One was a very tall mare, she had white fur and flowing hair of a light blue, green, and pink. She had pink eyes as well. She also had large white wings and a long white horn on her head. The one next to her was another, only a night version and a bit shorter. She had extremely dark blue fur and wings, with flowing hair like the white one expect hers were light blue with a dark blue outline and looked like stars. She also had light, teal blue eyes. Her wings were a slight smaller but they were still bigger than the average pegasus. Both of them however had their own weapons and armors.

With their weapons and their army behind them, marching into his kingdom, King Hercules now knows they have come for war. But Hercules have a plan and he's going to tell his warriors about it.

*Western Border of the Crystal Empire*

Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, along with the Mane 6 and the Princesses of Equestria who brought their army with them march towards the crystal empire with hopes of reclaiming it. As they proceeded into the misty snow mountain they ventured deeper and deeper into the mist and could see nothing but the falling frost snow and the feint glow of the sun piercing the mist. They have been walking forward for an hour until...

"ENOUGH!!!!" A demanding voice yelled as a short tornado of snow teleportation came infront of them, when the mist of the teleportation cleared out, Hercules was seen from it.

"You and you're kind has cause unreasonable aggression for far too long, equines! But that, stops, NOW." King Hercules said sternly as he looked at them. The Equestrian army took a fighting stance while Shining Armor, Cadence and the Mane 6 came next to Celestia and Luna.

"We have cause nothing! We were only protecting our allies, the Yaks, whoe's homes were taken by some freak creature who is nothing but a false ruler and tyrant!" Declared Shining Armor in anger.

"The Yaks are monstrous murderers and you gave them sanctuary, it is all your fault, demon!" King Hercules said to Shining with a voice so much venom it could kill a dragon. Princess Luna glowered at Hercules with eyes that could pierce through even the most hardened of souls. Without a single warning, she pulled an arrow in her bow, aiming at the Yeti King.

"You! You will have to pay accordingly for your doing!" She yelled out in raw ire. Her arrow was glowing with blue aura as she looked like she would release her arrow.

"Luna!" Yelled Princess Celestia, both stopping Luna and earning everyone's attention.

"Stop! He came alone and he has no weapons! There's no reason to prolong the slaughter! Also it is very honorless to kill somepony who can't defend himself." Princess Celestia told her, causing much disappointments in Luna, Shining and many of her soldiers.

"Princess! he and his kind killed thousands of lives, destroyed countless homes and is lying about the cause of this event and you talk about honor!?" Shining Armor question Celestia with an angry tone.

"Says the coward who didn't just gave murderers shelter but also fled instead of defending his nation, not only are you a liar, but a coward as well." King Hercules said with a voice of disgust and that cause Shning Armor's head to turn red of anger.

While all of this happens Luna was approaching the Yeti King with an icy glare that was devoid of any emotion with the exception of pure vengeance. Before she could come any closer, she hit herself in the head on some kind of invisible force field that cause her to back off a bit.

"That's close enough, equine." Hercules said like an order. Luna looked more hateful of him than ever.

"Do you have any idea how many you've killed? How many families were lost to you? How much sorrow you've brought to them?" She asked him with a voice of both sadness and anger.

"More like how much sorrow they brought on themselves, it's their own fault that all this happens!" Hercules spat at her with denial. Luna and Hercules stare at each other with hateful eyes.

"Luna enough!" Celestia yelled at her and pulled her backward.

"We came for solution, not conflict!" She kept telling her as she begin to approach the horned Yeti, she notice that he is so tall that the tip of her horn is aimed to his nose.

"Let's try again. I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria. This is my sister, Princess Luna. Together, we oversee our nation. You may have meet Shining Armor and Princess Cadence who rule the Crystal Empire." The alicorn mare gestured to herself and the other rulers behind her.

"Also, may I present to you the newest princess, Twilight Sparkle. Along with her friends and the bearers of the elements of hermony." She gestered the six ponies who looked at the Yeti, the pink one waved at him!

"Now that you know who we are, do we have the honor of knowing your name?" Princess Celestia asked politely, Luna and Shining didn't like Celestia formally greeting him but are curious about his name.

"I am Hercules, King of Yetiheim and ruler of the Yeti race." He told her. Earning everyones attention.

"Very well then, 'King' Hercules, the last thing I want is conflict but you left me with no choice. I must ask for your surrender and face your punishment and all this will end." Celestia told Hercules, now all of Hercules hope for a better life went up in smoke.

"For the first minute there I though you of all equines had honor! but you are no different than the horned murderers and the coward with you, like them you are a demon. AND YOU WILL PERISH FROM EXISTENCE AS ONE!!!!" Hercules yelled in pure rage with chaos magic aura in his eyes and the earth began to violently shake, causing everyone and the army to almost fall on their buts. Behind King Hercules the ground crumble and torn down, bringing smoke from the destroyed ground. From the smoke came several heads up, as the equestrians recover they looked up, behind Hercules. It's a Mountain Hydra, with seven heads from the ground. Once Hercules pointed his finger at the Equestrian army, it's heads fires from it's mouths beams of chaos magical energy which was enough to obliterate a city. Before the hydra chaos attack could touch her she use her glowing horn to teleport her, her sister, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence and the mane 6 away from the attack. Sadly in doing this, she wasn't strong enough to help her army and left them to die by the multi-headed titan, which pained her.

From the smoke and among the corpses of the Equestrian army, King Hercules stood there among them with an axe in his right hand. Looking at the surviving royals and bearers.

"So your kind are so much of cowards you would leave your own soldiers to their death! You didn't even try to save them!" King Hercules was mocking them. Now Luna and Shining Armor began to fire their magic/arrow at him, who only had his eyes glowing in chaotic blue and the missile attacks became smoke in an instant.

Not too long Twilight and Celestia fired magic beams from their horns against Hercules and he immediately deflected strait back at them with more force, causing it an explosion to send them all flying around. While they all were on the ground, Hercules use his chaos magic to 'Ice Bend' in order to kick and punch them all around, giving them some bruses around their body. Once Hercules stopped beating them around Luna called them all to gather around her, once they all did her horn starts to glow.

"We'll meet again monster and you will pay for what you have done!" She shouted before she used her teleportation spell to get them all out of there. King Hercules then looked behind him.

"SEND OUT THE BEASTS, THE WAR HAS BEGUN!!!" He yelled out loud so it echoes and from the mist hordes of Yeti animals swarm out from the mountains and start to enter Equestria to cause alot of problems inside the country.

King Hercules took the liberty to use his Chaos Magic to teleport himself back to his stone throne. In there were it's empty and no one were there, Hercules began to loose his temper. Everything he worked for, a new life, a better start and most of all freedom. All of it came into war just because of his... first appearance!? All his hopes, dreams and longings were in vain and forever... gone!

"DAAAMN!!! To late, to late, there is nothing you can do, what's done is done." He first shout out in anger before calming down quickly for knowing that he can't do anything against it anymore.

He has sealed his fate forever now, he can't return home now, not ever. The only new life he will recieve is blood and tears. So be it.
