War of Survival

Equestria was now in a full fledged war.

After the destruction of the Equestrian Legion and the defeat of the Princesses and Mane 6, they returned to Canterlot to recover their bruses and while they were at it, Princess Celestia was sending messages to leaders of other nations to come to Canterlot for a meeting. She send her messages to the Griffin Empire of Griffinstone, the higlands of the Minotaur Clans, the Dragon rocks under Ember's rule, the king and queen of Saddle Arabia and last but not least the newly, reformed Changeling Hive under King Thorax; she hope that if she could convice them to unite their forces to deal with the Yetis and their monsters quickly before more lifes are taken.

During those times, the Princesses recieve countless reports about ponies getting attacked by monsters around Equestria, from the snow mountains. With that, Celestia know that those monsters are send out by King Hercules.

As they wait for the world leaders to arrive, the words that were written between Celestia and Hercules should have turned the parchment to ashes with as much fire as they wrote into each letter. While Hercules always telling her in his letters about what really happened and how it is the Yaks and her ponies fault about how the war started and as expecting her to give a violent reply, Hercules wasn't surprised.

She had responded calling him a 'monster' and 'evil tyrant' all the while demanding he give up and release the Crystal Empire and Yakyakistan or she would march on him and his race with an army of soldiers from other nations. Hercules simply responded to her by calling her a 'demonic whore' and 'child killer' and told her that he will annihilate all of them if they tried. Needless to say she changed her tune real quick offering payment and trade for the return of the Crystal Empire and Yakyakistan but Hercules spat on her letters and demanded that she call off her meeting and leave him and his race alone; no deals.

They went back and forth with her trying to have him go to Canterlot but he wasn't stupid enough to meet her on her terms. So he keep demanding that she'll stand down and leave him in peace unconditionally; Hercules went as far as calling her a 'Tyrannical Devil' out of anger.

*Yetiheim, in the throne of stone*

King Hercules sighed in mild boredom as he rested my right cheek on his hand. Glancing to the right, he saw his Yeti subjects talking and working on the politics. Even receiving messages about the front line with the Equestrians cause after Hercules encounter with the rulers he announced his Yeti chieftains that they are permitted to form raiding parties and lead expeditions of Yeti plunderers to attack the Equestrians with their war beasts, except for the Mountain Hydras who Hercules ordered shall be the defenders of Yetiheim's borders.

The Yeti shamans and mages kept working on the crystal heart but could still not figure out how to change it for the benefits of Yetiheim. The magical energy of the heart is like an independent being, so even if the Yeti magic is chaos and can almost do anything, the crystal heart is very resilient to them.

During the time, the Yetis are producing more weapons and armors to arm their warriors and while they breed more war beasts they train them to become vicious killers on the battlefield. Some of the Yetis even use their chaos magic to mutate and improve their war beasts to become even more deadly.

To combat the Equestrians more harder, King Hercules ordered the reformation of their military. Every Yeti tribal settlements will unleash hordes of barbaric Marauders and armour-clad Warriors pour forth from their snowy mountains to wage war against their self-righteous bigot enemies who inhabit the lands to the south. Those newly improved Yeti warriors carries some form of armour bearing the tribal marks of their chaotic devoution, the plate known as Chaos Armour is a very different ilk from the iron and mail. The Chaotic enchantments of their armors allows the Yetis to never more feel the need of hunger, thirst, or the touch of exhaustion. They fully become weapons dedicated to Yetiheim and their King, Hercules.

In the military training of the Yeti hordes, each warrior are just as likely to be an honorable warrior as he is a blood-crazed killer, and often times it is that he shall be both at the same time. The Marauders of Yetiheim, though gore-maddened berserkers all, take no artful approach to killing since it is viewed as honorless. It is also due to the warrior-code of the Yeti Warriors of Chaos, who believe it is the solemn right of every warrior to die an honorable death in battle with sword and axe in hand.

However, some of the Yeti warriors prefer to fight with sorcery and magic. They are called Battlemages, who sees no qualm with exploiting brute force when it benefit their chaos magic. As a result, the battlemages are often both capable warriors and master wizards, making them incredibly dangerous opponents.

While Hercules was sending his beasts out on hunt and permit the Yeti chieftains to go for raids around Equestria, he began to write his own diary about his entire life both before and during his life as Yeti King. He sat there, writing for hours. Suddenly, a particularly loud sound caused him to snap out of it. Turning his head briefly to figure out what that sound was, it was a Yeti messenger who teleported in.

"Sire! our spies have some extremely important news from the enemies in their capital city! It's very important that you see!" The Yeti messenger told King Hercules in a hurry, he complied and followed the messenger. Once they are in a room, the messenger use his chaos magic to form an magic mirror to give Hercules imge of the news.

*Canterlot Castle, Royal Summit*

The rulers of Saddle Arabia, Griffin Empire of Griffinstone, Minotaur Clans, Dragon Nation and Thorax's Changeling Hive were seated at a round table showing a map of Equestria and the lands of the north under Yeti control. Celestia and Luna began the debriefing once the council members were assembled.

"Welcome friends. Now I'm sure you can guess why we're all here? The threat of the Yeti race must be answered!" Princess Celestia greeted all the rulers around the table.

"We personally saw what these barbarians are capable of and what horror they control." Princess Luna said in the council.

"But what exactly do they want exactly?" Dragon Lord Ember asked the princesses who seemed a bit concerned as they gave the answer.

"It's simple really. They wish to expand their borders." Princess Luna said as if it was obvious.

"The Yetis claimed to have send five emissaries to Yakyakistan to make a friendly relationship but was killed at once when they were seen by the Yaks, as such they conquered Yakyakistan in retaliation and just because the Crystal Empire gave the surviving Yaks help, the Yetis conquered it as well. They claimed that the Yaks and the Ponies started the conflict and was only seeking justice. But those things are lies, all they do is fabricating excuses to conquer." Princess Celestia explains with a face of hatred to the facts as the discussion continued when Thorax speak out and offered a suggestion.

"You can't be sure if they lie or not, what if it's true and they have been provoked. To find out I suggest we send emissaries to negotiate with them. I'm positive that they can explain themselves and be brought to reason." Thorax said and that cause Celestia and Luna to send a glare at him.

"We once tried to reason with their leader, offer him mercy. But all he did was summoning a beast that killed an entire legion without hesitation. I'm afraid to say that peace is not possible with this race." Princess Celestia said and the council members began to talk among themselves when the Griffon Queen stood up from her chair.

"You have meet their leader?" She asked, earning the attention of the entire council.

"Yes, we have, his name is Hercules and he is extremely cunning and powerful. We underestimated him so much that we forgotten that he and his warriors conquered Yakyakistan and the Crystal Empire with ease. Not just because of his warriors but also thanks to his monsters fighting for him." Princess Celestia explained.

"But that's not the only thing that makes him dangerous, he wields the magic of chaos in him." Princess Luna said and that cause everyone in the room to gasp in shock.

"I thought Discord wielded chaos magic!" The Minotaur leader spoke.

"But now, it appears that the Yeti race wields it as well." Luna made it clear, causing the whole council to chat to the nearest person next to them.

"Are you planning of brining Discord to this conflict?" The queen of Saddle Arabia asked.

"No, after what happened with Tirek I'm not going to ask for his help again. Plus, since the Yetis wield the same kind of magic like Discord there is a chance that they are too much for him. Also after seeing how powerful Hercules is we don't want to risk Discord being crushed by him." Celestia made it simple for everyone before she rose to address the council.

"Everyone, we'd faced wars before. We all know the pain of losing something important, but we've been doing that on our own. But now, in this war, we can not fight this alone. I swear, me and my sister know that Hercules will not stop at Equestria, he'll send his Horde all over this continent until nothing threatens his rule! We need to stand together, now more then ever before. He conquered Yakyakistan and the Crystal Empire single handedly because they fought him and the Yetis alone, what's stopping him from trying to conquer the world, one kingdom at the time. We'll have a bigger chance of surviving by working together and take the fight to the Yetis. On this day, I call for an alliance of nations of the world to come as one and bring this war crushing down on the Yeti barbarians with the cry of a thousand strong. For the safety of our nations and our way of life I ask those who wish to join us may stand. Those who do not may remain seated and you will not be judged." At first their was nothing until the Minotaur King, Dragon Lord Ember and monarchs of the Griffon Empire rose from their seats, followed by the other leaders of the nations, King Thorax was the last one to rise, although he did it hesitantly.

"Then I welcome you all to our Allience of Freedom! we will triumph over the barbaric hordes of King Hercules!" Princess Celestia declared and all the council of nations began to disscus their next move. What they are unaware of is that there is a insect fly in the room looking at them, through it's eyes it glowed light-blue aura.

*Yetiheim, in the throne of stone*

SMASH

The magic mirror was crushed by the fist of King Hercules, who became very furious after hearing everything his spy fly. His eyes were red as blood and his face had a very rageful one.

"Grrr, LEAVE!" Hercules yelled at the messenger who obeyed in a mere second, leaving the Yeti King alone. Hercules stomped on the ground, sending a ice block in the air. In his right hand, he formed a chaotic fire to shoot at the ice block as a way to blow up his steams, he's been doing it again and again and again until he recovered from his outburst and repaired the mirror with his chaos magic.

"I can't believe this world. I threw away EVERYTHING I ever known for a better life and this world dosen't even try to get along with me and my race or even tried to understand me! Every single one of those creature think they are completely right and never mind if they had done something wrong so that they dosen't even think about their own actions!" Hercules talks to himself in anger.

He's been walking around his room and kept muttering and talking to himself, angry at the world he came to. All he ever wanted was a new and better life, instead the whole world want's him dead just because of the sins of others who committed unprovoket murder and all he did was seeking justice! Now he can't ever have a great life. The whole world want's him and his race dead. What else can he do but to fight back? Fight back? Yes, yes that's all he can do. So he'll do it, he'll do it since it is the only way for him and his race to survive. After he calmed down himself a bit.

"If the world won't accept me and my race, then I shall remake the world into a better place. The Yeti race will either be their equals... or... their superiors". King Hercules said with a voice of malice.

After a while, Hercules continued on walking, he saw his subjects in his path. They all seemed to be caught up on something as they murmured to each other, their words merging with each other, preventing him from deciphering even a single word coming from them. But then again, he knows that the only thing there is to talk about is the war they are in now. So he just walked through the crowd of Yeti cheiftains towards the door to his bedroom, stopping just at grabbing distance away from it.

Twisting the doorknob, he pushed the door, revealing his king size bed in the middle of his room with his furnitures around it. He walked towards his bed, pulled the blanket up so that he can enter it on his back and he cover himself with the blanket.

"I hope the future will be more brighter to me than this week." Hercules said to himself before he slowly fell asleep, worn out from his work and preparation for war, resting peacefully. What he was unaware of is that an intruder next to him in the bed under his blanket, grinned and brushed his head, making sure not to disturb him.

"I am quite sure it will beeee~" The (female) intruder's voice whispered in a lustful tone, her green eyes glowing slightly brighter than normal before she too fell asleep on him, in a straddle position.
