//-------------------------------------------------------// War of Survival -by Torulf21- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// A New Race Has Come //-------------------------------------------------------// A New Race Has Come "The Creation of Existence", a realm that is the throne of the multiverse and hidden to all lives except its inhabitants who happens to be a race of transcendent beings. Home of a race called the Ipimuses, a race of omniscient humanoids who consider themseves above all life in the multiverse since their realm is the very realm that existed before existence itself. They are a proud and mighty race of cosmic powers and immortality, happy with there life. All but one. A certain Ipimus feels loney and boring. Why, because everything in "The Creation of Existence" is as it should be, but that's it. Nothing new, nothing strange, everything is always the same old thing. He felt that something isn't natural for him, he couldn't figured out how to undo this feeling. Then again there was something that caught his attention and that is the other worlds in the multiverse. Everytime he view them and watch how mortals live their life, their ways, their behavior and everything always change drastically and there is always something new there. It's so chaotic and so... amazing. He wish his race was such chaotic and inventive beings and not so isolated and proud of it. The thing is that there are laws about leaving their realm, if one of them leaves and enter another world he/her's godlike powers will be limited and they can never come back. That was the scary part to him. Even though he want's to go to other places, "The Creation of Existence" is his home so he would have to leave everything he had ever known for a new bright life. So after many times of thinking in dilema of what he must do, careful consideration and planning of what his new life would be. When he has come to the age of young adulthood, he decided to leave his home realm and enter a complete new world as a new creature. So what he did was flying down towards a light worm hole that would send him into a random world where he will make a new life, his powers will be limited but powerful enough for him to be stronger than a giant beast. Blackness... Blackness was the only thing he could see after his departure from his home and become something else. After a few hours of blackness, he finally open his eyes, even though his vision is blurry he was recovering his vision. He gasped for air, his eyes shooting open and his senses was assaulted by waves upon waves of cold winds. He could feel everything, all of his legs, arms, his head, his body everything; even his fur. All of his muscles was telling him to do any kind of animation, demanding that if he dosen't move his new body won't work at all. Once everything worked out for him, he could move, stand up and have a perfect vision for his eyes. Once he noticed that he had white fur on his hands, feets and his entire body; he used his limited godlike powers to conjure up a mirror to see his own, new body and by his amazingness... https://camo.derpicdn.net/e41bc287f4070df3116c69fe27caaa332536369d?url=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-DotC4rjncME%2FVBmkLgHrxhI%2FAAAAAAAAelU%2FjEl2nMK7vd4%2Fs1600%2F1.jpg He is now a Yeti. He have heard and seen them when he viewed other worlds. He knew that Yeti are a race of winter apes living in the mountain. Now he is one. He also notice that his powers maybe limited but it is still very powerful. He spend an hour testing and training his magical powers to know what it is now. He was powerful enough to have mastery of spells capable of warping, manipulating and/or reconstruct reality and the very fabric of existence. Chaos magic, he was amazed by it because he find chaos something to be proud of since it bring new and unexpected experiences. He now knows what to do with his new life. He looked around and found himself standing on a mountain, surrounded by snow storms, and with even more falling down upon him with every passing second. Thankfully due to his thick fur he could not freeze, he was only covered in a couple of snowflakes though it could not be seen since his fur was snow-white. He blinked a couple of times and tried to let his eyes look around. Snow mountains was all he could find, to his disappointment. But no worries, he could use some exploration to have an adventure but first. He need a base to settle. He was walking around the snowy mountains for a few hours before he found a perfect place where he could build his new home. It was a cave, or more a cave system, as it continued deeper into the mountain of itself. The Yeti decided to explore the cave he continued. He had found somewhere that wasn't cold anymore. But he was still pressing forwards, and his brain was still continuing to look for Continuity. The tunnel opened up into a large cave, which was almost pitch black, yet, he could still see in it. Why could he see in darkness? His chaos magic gives his eyes night vision. Finally he stopped, in the middle of the Cave, he use his chaos magic to create a throne of stone. https://camo.derpicdn.net/0a03594080ae38f7747a30306b5daad907c61b83?url=http%3A%2F%2Fimg06.deviantart.net%2Fe454%2Fi%2F2013%2F275%2Ff%2F2%2Ftron_by_9gagerr-d6oyiue.jpg He sat on it and with pride he felt he could finally start a new life, he will create a kingdom of his own and he would be the god-king of his own race. He began charging his hands with chaos magic. In a few moments his throne area was turned into a cave palace with alot of celtic nordic art combined with many chaos stars as emblems. Now he used his magic to bring in two hundred boulders. His hands glowed as he began creating statues out of the lifeless stone: he created both male and female Yetis, two hunderd each and they all looked very bulky and well build. https://camo.derpicdn.net/98b9389fbaf9b90e11b1142f5dedb81b5218a845?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcharlinger.files.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F05%2Fyeti1.jpg%3Fw%3D197%26h%3D300 (Both male and female version of these Yetis) They looked almost alive, almost. "Now... rise... come alive... my people!" He said his very first words ever since he came to this strange world as his eyes turned chaotic blue. The statues began to crack and then out came the very new Yetis, alive and well. Those other Yetis first looked around and each other in confusion before they all looked at their very creator, sitting on his throne. "Sire...." they all said in unison as they walked up to him and kneeled to him. "How may we serve you?" One of them asked, earning a smile from their creator. "This is our new home, let's use all our chaos magic and strength make the best of it. We'll build us a great town both inside and outside of this tunnel system. Make food, items, weapons and even beasts to help out. Let's build our own nation before we make contact with the rest of the world!" He ordered them with as much pride and joy he can have for creating his own civilization in his image. "At once sire... may we know you're name?" A female Yeti asked, earning the attentions from the other Yetis to look at him with curiosity. What shall his name be?... Honestly he never though about it. But now he began to remember his time before he became a Yeti. When he viewed other worlds and their civilizations. He remember a race called "Humans", they had almost everything a mortal creature would want, even good names. They had millions of names that can be choosen. So he choose to have the same name of a certain human from their mythology who was claimed to be a hero to god. So he decided to have a new name as a "mortal" god-king. "My name... is... Hercules." He answered with a gentel voice and a smile. Hours later, the whole tunnel system and the area outside the tunnels were filled with Yetis bulding and constructing houses and buildings for their livings. The Yetis used their chaos magic to bring food and tools; even woods out of thin air to help out their work. Our, newly named, Hercules sat in his throne as one of the female yeti bowed down and handed her king a plate of huge food. A male yeti gave him a big pint of ale. In a long table for hundreds of yetis, Hercules drank and ate along side his fellow yetis like he was one of them and they all welcome it. They all embraced each other like they were all kins. After he has eaten he walked up a stairs to the highest room in the tunnel system that had a crystal ball he created to look at the whole Yeti town from his room. "Sire, your bed is ready...." Hercules heard a female yeti come to him with those words and followed her to his room. Hercules opened the door and walked in. The room had really big windows, bookshelves filled up, a desk with a mirror, and a king sized bed. After he closed the door behind him, he removed his outfit got under the covers, and laid his head on the pillows. He laid there looking up on the cave roof and smirked a little. "Hercules... a perfect name in a perfect day." he said with much pride in him and closed his eyes to sleep before he go to real work. //-------------------------------------------------------// First Blood //-------------------------------------------------------// First Blood *1 Year After Arrival* The Yeti king, Hercules were walking around among his created race. The Yeti town was set up in a relatively good time frame, 2 days and they had improved upon it until they had made s big, strong settlement. By which point the Yetis use both mating and chaos magic to turn stone or snow into more Yetis, growing up in a ever increasing military camp had toughened them up enough to survive the excitingly inhospitable snow mountain. The Yeti shamans have used their chaos magic to fertilize the ground to make it matured enough for farming without a problem and was set to use the same chaos magic to give life to many animalistic beasts to do their biddings. These are the types of beasts being created: https://camo.derpicdn.net/15782b166413af151b6c4f90424490b537ff42d3?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette4.wikia.nocookie.net%2Ffarcry%2Fimages%2F7%2F7d%2FFar_cry_primal_sabertooth.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160418213115 The Sabretooths are apex predator-class tamable animals. The Yetis use them for hunt and guard, also as mounts. https://camo.derpicdn.net/2a8c3e35575170988cdea888d8aa271f3d1e19c9?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette1.wikia.nocookie.net%2Ffarcry%2Fimages%2F5%2F59%2FFar_Cry_Primal_woolly_rhino.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160418214110 The Woolly Rhinos are a part of the Yeti animal herding and farming, but their brute strength and their horns allows the Yetis to use them for mounts https://camo.derpicdn.net/adf110f65aae0db2163098e56b495ec414e52cda?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette1.wikia.nocookie.net%2Ffarcry%2Fimages%2F7%2F78%2FFar_cry_primal_cave_bear.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160413170341 The Cave Bears are the main mounts of the Yeti race. They can swim, but cannot climb, although they can do alot of damage due to their large size. https://camo.derpicdn.net/601801445de5b00d58b1bf57afec4061c5580778?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette1.wikia.nocookie.net%2Ffarcry%2Fimages%2Ff%2Ffa%2FFar_cry_primal_wolf.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160413200039 The Dire Wolves hunt in packs of three or more individuals, and frequently one of the wolves is a rare variant. Wolf packs are more active at night than during the daytime. They are the pride and joy of the Yeti warriors. https://camo.derpicdn.net/483888c5e2f02ccff9fcf58a6d9b1d31b6df0aad?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette1.wikia.nocookie.net%2Ffarcry%2Fimages%2F6%2F68%2FFar_cry_primal_mammoth.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160418213623 The Rock Mammoth are the largest animals that lives with the Yeti, also as their herding and farming animals. But due to their largest size and their unequal strength, the Yetis use them as terrible war-beasts and they will strike terror into the hearts of their enemies. https://camo.derpicdn.net/a1502384e0108378e9fe21adb14c3735cfa82a34?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette4.wikia.nocookie.net%2Felderscrolls%2Fimages%2F8%2F80%2FFrost_Troll.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20140323164436 The Frost Trolls are the animalistic cousins of the Yetis, more taller than the Yetis. They are smart enough to understand words and how to do things but the Yetis treat them like pets due to their more animal and less civlilized behavior and/or nature. https://camo.derpicdn.net/034b7dc648c61a84dae93d4ddba4f8afa122e699?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpre07.deviantart.net%2Fc62d%2Fth%2Fpre%2Ff%2F2012%2F077%2F2%2F4%2Ffrost_dragon_by_lintufriikki-d4t6nfh.jpg The Frost Wyrms are the air-force of the Yeti race, they are used as sky fighters and guardians both for protection and war. https://camo.derpicdn.net/2c910a9ad4fc5fa2456933ed2ec4ad9450871c72?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F7c%2F1c%2F6e%2F7c1c6ec16d64eafd1877e93c8d303238.jpg The Mountain Hydra are titanic beasts of the mountains, with their ability to regenerate more heads, tunneling through the earth with ease and project concentrated beams of chaos energy for a destructive amount of damage they are the Yeti race's trump cards of war against their enemies. Hercules instructed his chaos shamans to create and tame those beasts for the Yeti's benefits. He imaged them with inspirations from other worlds that he once viewed. His Yeti warriors and workers was set to create and build more weapons and few armors, the Yetis used their created 'pets' for work, farming, hunting, and if necessary for war. While Hercules and his Yetis work, they use their chaos magic to bring woods, tools and bricks to build more buildings, both homes and other things such as: barracks, blacksmith, banks, shops, stores, taverns, etc,. Hercules, after much debating with his council, finally sent a Yeti squad to clear a path for the beginning of a new settlement, just to the north where their scouts had found the closest sea and, coincidently, the closest clearing. After that the Yetis send multiple of squads of settlers and warriors along with their beasts, they meet alot of challanges during the way; meating creatures and monsters they haven't seen before and killed them in retaliation for attacking them. They have been building more settlements and they all had their own "Chieftains", like lords over their governed territory in their kings stead. 3 settlements in and the Yetis had grown too quickly, so King Hercules had ordered his subjects to stop or slow the chaos magic reproduction of their race and their beasts, deciding to have their population grow in a natural way, through mating. Their natural reproduction way left the Yetis with more energy to go on hunting trips and celebrations, which cut back on the amount of Yetis comming back slightly. The amount of shamans hadn't grown much, so far only those who Hercules choosed had grown powers and they had found many uses for them. Even the amount of their beasts grew slowly, but they all played an important role in their society. *Present Day* King Hercules was sitting on his throne and was writing a scroll to deliver orders to the settlements. After he send the message he felt tired and tried to get some rest in his throne chair. He did that in an hour until a male Yeti, who's name is Talmar (King Hercules' advisor), came inside the cave palace where Hercules' throne of stone where. "Sire, the scouts came back with a incredible news! They have found civilization, we believe that we finally found the natives of this world." Talmar said and that earned Hercules' fullest attention. "They found other civilizations? Where!?" Hercules asked with alot of excitement. Talmar used his chaos magic to create a mirror screen in order to show Hercules the 'new' civilization that their scouts found. https://derpicdn.net/img/2015/6/27/924990/full.jpg Hercules was astonished by the mere look on the huge city that have horned creatures, holding a shield and spear-like torches. This is exactly what Hercules hoped for, finding new life and make contact with the world. His greatest dream of his life has come true. "According to our scouts, this city is located west from here." Talmar said with a prideful face. "Tell the scouts to make contact with them, it's time to make friends." King Hercules said with a happy smile and a prideful soul. Talmar went outside to carry out his order. While he was at it, Hercules went over to is table where he pour ale in his pint, he was drinking it while he take a few bites of cooked meat from his table as a way of personal celebration of meeting new civilization. *Ten Minutes Later* King Hercules summoned his inner-circle members (chieftains and shamans) to gather a meeting to discus diplomatic plans with the new civilization. Just when they all were about to reach an agreement, Talmar came rushing through the door. He looked very tired as if he ran for his life and his face looked very worried. This makes Hercules very worried as well. "Talmar, what's the matter?" King Hercules asked with a worried face. "The scouts... has returned... terrible news." Talmar said as he breath heavy. "What terrible news!?" Hercules asked. "The scouts approached the city to greet the natives in peace, but they attacked the scouts and killed two of them in the process!" Talmar said with a terrified tone. That cause all Yetis and Hercules in the room to be shocked to the core and terrified at the fact that two of their five scouts died when they just tried to make friends. All the Yeti members of the council began to debate and argue about how they shall respond. While they were at it, Hercules still looked at the news with a terrified face for a moment. Two of his scouts were killed off by the natives for what? Why would they attack them without any provocation? The scouts have done nothing to them and they just looked at those Yetis and... judged them by their first appearance. Hercules left his world and leaved everything he ever knew behind just for a new and better life to only be in a world of... monsters! King Hercules closed his eyes, where he steeled himself from this painful thought. Then he have a face of rage because he has made a decision. *Two Hours Later* It was a sad day for the Yaks, the parents was protecting their calfs and it cost them their lives because of those monsters attack. How did it all happened? In the capital city of Yakyakistan, the Yaks there where doing their everyday things and they all had great times. But they also had something new happened to them as well. When a group of Yak calfs were playing at the snow outside the city, their adult parents and siblings were there watching them. Not to long a Yak calf who were about to make a snowball but was interrupted by five shadows that came to his view. He looked up and saw five white-fured ape-like creatures he never saw before, but they looked so very scary it cause the calf to scream and run for his parents in panic. The adult Yaks heard the scream and soon the five creatures themselves, the Yeti scouts. The Yeti scouts tried to tell them that they are friendly and they mean no harm. But the Yaks didn't listen, instead they pulled their weapons and charge at them yelling 'Die monsters'. Some of the Yaks were throwing spears at them and killed two of them by the hits. The Yetis were horrified by it and one of them were hit by the leg. The remaining two Yetis could no longer stand for it as they see the Yaks charging at them. Both of them use their chaos magic to create a wall of ice spikes, sharp enough to kill and it did killed many Yaks because of their charge. The Yeti scouts carried their wounded comrade by their shoulders and their dead ones with their chaos magic. After the Yetis' escape, the whole Yak city was disturbed by the event. The calfs of the dead parents and siblings was crying their hearts out for their lost. The rest of the Yaks were angry and demand revenge for the death of their fellow Yaks. Their ruler, King Burrock along with his son Prince Rutherford, sworn that they shall find these monsters and make them pay for their 'crime'. But just as the Yaks were calming down and their king were about to make a speech, the walls exploded sending huge boulders around the city, crushing both houses down and landed on a few more Yaks, killed them in the process. While the smoke were clearing out and the Yaks turned their eyes to the direction of their destroyed walls. *The Other Side of The City* The Yeti army, lead by King Hercules himself, has arrived at the city of murderers where all of this started. With every Yeti warrior he could bring, along with some war-beasts. Hercules saw the city and the natives of it, he slammed down both of his hands that was glowing in chaotic blue on the ground and from them came two streams of chaos magic charging two sides of the wall and once it made contact with them they exploded and destroyed the wall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBiA8qaLxbI&feature=youtu.be&t=22s (Watch from 0:22 to the end) Once the walls was destroyed, King Hercules let out a huge roar as his entire horde charged toward the city. The Yeti warriors with their war-beasts all charged in at the destroyed walls with a speed that would make any Olympian jealous. They charged towards the walls, disappearing into the smoke. The sound of steel clashing and screams filled the air. The Yaks wasn't prepared for an attack so they barely had enough time to rally their warriors, but the once on the un-destroyed part of the wall started to aim their bows at any Yeti from on top of the wall. The archers on the Yeti side started to fire a massive volley onto the wall itself, the arrows hitting some Yaks. The Yeti shamans started firing spell after spell at the wall and over it. One Yeti shaman aimed his staff at the wall unleashed a beam of light towards it. The wall crumbling it to the ground, some of the Yetis that weren't through the gate saw this opening and ran towards it. The Yeti horde and their war-beasts was swarming over the Yaks, both sides giving it their all. The forces the Yetis were fighting weren't strong, the Yaks was unprepared so they were almost easy to kill. Even the ones on the walls did nothing to stop them. King Hercules watched as his warriors moved all over the city like it was nothing. It was total chaos, but the Yeti horde made progress. The Yaks couldn't take enough punishment from them and started to retreat. By this point several big holes were made on the walls, letting the entire army through. What was strange though was the lack of civilians inside the city. The Yetis went from house to house, searching for anything. There were no civilians. Guess that once the wall exploded , they decided to get out of dodge and go somewhere safe. This was good. The last thing Hercules want is more civilian casualties, and collateral damage. There were a few Yeti warriors who died in the battle but the Yaks started to leave the city for their own survival. They have lost and all the remaining Yaks that didn't died in battle ran as fast as they could. Hercules ordered his horde not to chase them but he conjured up a few insect familiars to follow them and see where they are going. King Hercules ordered the city to be burned down and destroyed. While the Yetis are at it and take care of their own wounded, Hercules was looking through the eyes of his conjured up insect spies that follows the Yaks who were marching from their home into a direction. Hercules was spending his time looking though their eyes and he discovered that they went to another city. https://camo.derpicdn.net/1165e72b15ac142e05991dabe7f3993c0019a94d?url=http%3A%2F%2Fimg03.deviantart.net%2Fd29d%2Fi%2F2012%2F292%2F9%2F8%2Fthe_crystal_empire__spoilers__by_turbosolid-d5ibe7r.png It was a whole city made of 100% crystal, Hercules was amazed by it's art. But he still kept his eyes on the enemies who entered there. What surprised him the most is the inhabitants of this crystal city. They were not Yaks... they are all shining equines! King Hercules was shocked to the core that these murderers would seek help from another race. Then when he saw the crystal equines were... HELPING THEM!!! This cause Hercules anger to grew without end. King Hercules gathered his council along with his warriors to tell them the news what his spies saw. All the Yetis were furious at the shining equines for helping those murderers, they all shouting and arguing at each other what they shall do. They all came into silence when Talmar shout out. "Every one be quiet! His majesty is the one who will decide our next move!" Talmar said to them and they all looked at Hercules with their eyes that ask what they shall do. Hercules took a moment while he was looking both at his warriors and the screen of the shining equines helping these monsters. "Assemble our warriors, we march on the crystal city THIS day!" King Hercules ordered and that cause all the Yetis to roar and cheer for their king's orders. *In the Crystal Empire* In the capital city of the Crystal Empire the streets and the field out side of the city was filled with Yak refugees making camp on the streets while the Crystal Ponies are helping them out to make things easier for them. While it happens the Yak king and prince seek an audience with the rulers of the empire. While waitng patiently for the rulers to come, Prince Rutherford looked outside the window at his subjects with sorrow. He looked at his fellow Yaks and then towards Yakyakistan. His eyes began to watered. From the distance, he could see smokes, fires and destroyed homes of his and his father's kingdom that was taken away from a race of monsters who he thinks he have done no wrong to. After a few more minutes of waiting they heard the door opening and so came the rulers of the Crystal Empire. https://derpicdn.net/img/2016/7/17/1203308/full.png https://camo.derpicdn.net/4dbbb531925543cb5f2745fced1572ab9d99f895?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpre00.deviantart.net%2F7515%2Fth%2Fpre%2Fi%2F2015%2F190%2Ff%2F4%2Fcasual_cadance_by_ambris-d90mjug.png Prince Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (or Cadence) came to the room to meet with their Yak allies to help them. https://camo.derpicdn.net/803c7a2288b31d2b449b833e75a1551d8d5d8b7b?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F82%2F0a%2F09%2F820a095ba0b8c7d4ce9ea92b243ab94a--minotaur-medieval-games.jpg https://camo.derpicdn.net/052bd6032eb963ba2338f69b0c47a3647aa69d50?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvignette4.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fmlp%2Fimages%2F5%2F5f%2FPrince_Rutherford_S5E11.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%2Fscale-to-width-down%2F800%3Fcb%3D20150629093909 (Anthro version of him) "King Burrock, Prince Rutherford, we came as soon as we heard. What has happened in Yakyakistan!?" Princess Cadence asked with a worried face. "We were attacked by a horde of white-furred monsters with their war-beasts, they destroyed our city, our home and drove us away here." King Burrock said with a sad face, he was about to say more things but was interrupted by his hot headed son. "THEY ATTACK YAKS! YAKS DONE THEM NO WRONG! THEY DECLARE WAR ON YAKS!" Prince Rutherford yelled so loud that the ponies in this room hear ringings in their ears. "Whoever they are, since they attacked you, be sure that the Crystal Empire will help you reclaim your homes." Shining Armor said with pride for his allies. However, his wife had other plans. "Wait, we don't need any more violence between us and those creatures. I suggest we make a diplomatic arrangement and talk to them to find out what their intentions are." Princess Cadence suggested. "They can't be reasoned with, we must fight or they will kill all or us." King Burrock said with a angry tone for Cadence suggestion. "Cadence, why do you think we can talk to them if they wouldn't even listen to our allies?" Shining Armor asked with doubts about diplomacy. "You can't tell if they are monsters unless you get to know them better. What if something terrible happened to them, something that cause them to attack the Yaks without choice. If there is a way to solve this problem without bloodshed we must take it." Cadence insist on a peaceful way to solve their problem. The Yaks don't like it but Shining Armor was neutral on this. He was a soldier, fight and defeating the enemies was his top priority but he must agreed with his wife that peaceful solutions are better cause he dosen't want ponies or friends of ponies to die. After hours of debating of how they shall approach the Yetis, a snow blizzard came to the empire. It was strange because the Crystal Heart has the magic to keep the snowy blizzard away from their lifeful earth. Shining Armor's quick thinking tells him that the ones who attacked the Yaks are here and so he ordered his crystal army to prepare for siege. While he was at it, the Yaks prepared whatever warrior they could offer to help while their civilians take shelter. The Crystal Army with their Yak allies stood their ground at the gate of the Crystal Empire while the snow blizzard was covering the ground and cause some of the crystal ponies to freeze. They all stood there and after a few minutes... came the Yeti horde and their war-beasts, lead by King Hercules himself. //-------------------------------------------------------// Start of a War //-------------------------------------------------------// Start of a War The Crystal Empire is a place of love, compassion, and fellowship. It is here that all love radiates, where all hope stays. That was the place where the Crystal Ponies and now the Yaks stand side by side as a wall of an army to protect it. Form who though? From the Yetis of course. Over the opposite side of the army stood a horde of Yeti marauders in battle formation with their warbeasts next to them and as they noticed a big throne-like ice chariot that was pulled by two mammoths in the center. On that throne-like ice chariot was there a Yeti sitting on it and he had a chaotic 'fancy' armor on him. Shining Armor and Cadence assumed that he is the leader of these white furred warriors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oBvNFMt9Ic (Yeti army march) The Yeti horde was there at least fifteen thousand strong armed warriors at their finest and readied for combat. In the front lines were the Armor-clad berserkers of the Yetis, their weapons and armors are enchanted with chaos magic that would make them more lethal and durable. They were in a straight line, blocking the army from passing them and were wielding long dual axes, maces and swords, the only things that's in their way are the line of their war mammoths with steel plates and Yetis on their backs. Behind them were six warbands of Yeti hunters with all kinds of weapons, two hundred in each warband. Even though it's barely, they were wearing chaos-enchanted armour, crude in their design and hard as their discipline. Each warband held long stakes with the severed heads of Yaks. They wielded long swords, battle axes, round shields and throwing spears that were thirsting for blood. Infront of them were a line of Frost Trolls with their huge warhammers the crush and smash their enemies with. Behind them were catapults and trebuchets ready to throw shoots of chaos infused boulders. Growling around them, both in the flanks and inside the warbands, were their warbeasts. Among the warbands are the Dire Wolves ready to fight next to their Yeti masters. On the flanks there are alot of Sabretooth, Woolly Rhino and Cave Bear mounts with many Yetis on their backs. Behind the catapults and trebuchets, another six warbands of Yeti hunters with the same weapons and armours as the six warbands after them. But behind them stood five Frost Wyrms on the ground, they are ready to take flight when the battle starts. Around the big throne-like ice chariot are eight Yeti Chaos Shamans ready to cast spells to assist. The only thing that stands in their way is the unifyed army of Crystal Guards and Yak warriors. In the front was the Crystal Guards with spears to form a spear wall against the charging barbarians. Behind them are there Crystal Unicorns, ready to use their horns to shoot magical bolts as a way of artillery. Behind them were Crystal Pegasii ready to take flight and attack their enemies from the sky. In the flanks of the Crystal Army were none other than the remaining Yak warriors, thirsty for vengance. Together they are about twenty five thousand soldiers, the Yaks are furious fighters who would rather die before defeate. But the Crystal Guards can't remember the last time they were in combat so they mostly hope that they won't have to fight. Even though the Crystal-Yak army had the numbers, the Yetis have both their mighty warbeasts and the blizzard supports them to increase the weight of their enemies' arms and armors. In that big throne-like ice chariot with mammoths, King Hercules sat up there with his royal armor on with his scepter. In front of the Crystal-Yak army were the leaders of them both; Shining Armor, Cadence, Burrok and Rutherford staring at the Yeti horde, they aslo notice the big throne-like ice chariot and the one who sit on it. While it happens, Hercules stare at the army both of those murderers and who help the murderers. Minutes past before Shining Armor feel his wife's hand hold his, when he look at her, he sees her pleading look and knows what she is asking. "Our soldiers must stand down... I want us to have a talk with their leader." Shining Armor suggested. "WHAT, Yaks don't talk! Yaks crush enemies!" Prince Rutherford yelled. "And maybe that's why they attacked you to begin with." Cadence said without thinking, causing Rutherford anger to grow even more but his father manage to keep his anger at bay. "Talking to them is the last thing we need to do." King Burrok said in disagreement. "Don't be so rash, I want us to know our enemies before anything else." Shining Armor said as he and his wife started to walk towards the field, to the Yak leaders disappointment they followed. As soon as King Hercules saw the leaders of the army come alone, his mammoths started to pull his chariot foward to also have a talk to them. After a few seconds of leaders walking towards each other, the pony and yak leaders where confronted by a Yeti riding on a cave bear, that Yeti was no other than Talmar with a pike blade. He stood in their way. "Sir... We like to have a word with you leader." Princess Cadence asked, tried to be polite. "You may speak to me." Talmar said sternly. "Move aside, monster!" King Burrok demanded, causing Cadence's disappointment. "YOU will hold your filthy tounge, murderer!" Talmar said with anger. The Yaks were about to burst into rampage but a flash light of stars came infront of their face, causing the Yaks' anger were replaced with confusion. Shining Armor was the cause of that. "We just came here to make something very clear, you have committed a serious crime by attacking our allies." Shining said with a serious face but remained calm. "None of it would have happened if they never committed murder! These monsters next to you spilled first blood." Talmar said from his cave bear with a very, VERY serious tone. "It would never had happened if your people didn't attacked Yak calfs" King Burrock said accusingly. "That is a LIE." Talmar said with rage as he jumped from his bear and landed to the ground. "Five of our scouts came to make friends with you and instead of welcoming them you killed two of them without provocation!" Talmar said with anger in his voice. "LIES!" Prince Rutherford yelled and was about to attack but was stopped by the arm of his father while Talmar stood his ground. While it all happened, King Hercules watches from his seat and heard some of their 'conversation'. He decided to go down there to give some of his words to them. He lightly pushed Talmar aside to come, earning everyone's attantion. "Equines, are they your allies?" Hercules asked Shining and Cadence while pointing at the Yaks. "They are." Shining Armor said, making Hercules disappointed. "All you are doing is making thing worst. These murderers killed two scouts who came to them in peace and by helping them, your race has declared war on the Yeti race." Hercules said and then make his way back to his chariot before he was stopped by Cadence's voice. "Please sir, you don't have to do this, there's no need for war. There are thousands of innocent life here and the other lands, no one wants to have another war to lose those who are close to them. Isn't there anything that can help out, to reverse the terrible event?" Princess Cadence asked and that earned King Hercules' attention. *Canterlot Castle* Princess Celestia was performing her nightly ritual of getting ready for bed. She was sitting in front of her mirror combing her constantly flowing mane until a letter appeared in front of her. “A letter from Cadence.” Celestia said as she opened the letter and read its contents as she read the letter’s contents her eyes grew wide and her face turned to horror at what the letter said. //Dear Aunty Celestia\ There's something horrible happened. The Crystal Empire is under siege by an army! What first happened was that our allies, the Yaks came to us as refugees, telling us that a horde of white fured ape-like creatures attacked them and drove them away from their home. When those creatures came to the empire with their army, they called themselves Yeti. Those "Yetis" claimed that they send five scouts to the Yaks to make friends with them but that the Yaks killed two of them without even listening to them. The Yaks denied it and claims that the Yetis attacked them without reason. Their leader demands that we turn the Yaks over to them for trial. We have until sunrise or they will attack us. We need help. I don't want any fighting. If you can do anything to stop this war before it begins, please do it now. Before sun rise. Yours niece. Cadence. As soon as she finished reading this letter she horried to write a letter of her own. "I hope I can get Twilight and her friends to talk to these 'Yetis' and try to make peace with them. Also, I would like to know more about them, I would rather be friend with them than having them as an enemy, no matter what the Yaks accused them of. I have to make sure that war never happens in Equestria." Celestia said to herself with both fear and hope. Fear because despite her ability to move the sun, she cannot let it stay more than it needs to she has to move it when her sister's duty is done. She just hope that Twilight and her friends can make it to the Crystal Empire before these Yetis attack and hopefully they would listen to reason before they attack. Once she finished her letter to Twilight, she wrote one for her niece to tell her the plan. *Crystal Empire, a few hours later* (Yeti side) Outside the city of the Crystal Empire the Yeti horde waits their respond about turning over the Yaks for their trial. It was night and they said they would wait until sun rise. After a few hours of standing and waiting there, they heard and saw a magical smoke comming from above them, the same kind of smoke that left the empire (which was the letter transportation). "That magic smoke again, it has returned to it's original place. We should charge now before something else happens." Talmar looked at King Hercules with his worried advices. "I gave these equines until sunrise, we will wait." King Hercules made himself clear to his advicer. (Crystal/Yak side) Inside the crystal palace, the leaders of the Yaks and Prince Shining Armor are still debating of what to do. Shining Armor tried to reason with the Yaks about stand trial and also try to figured out if the Yetis claims were true. But the hot headed Yaks just turned deaf ears and absolutely refuse, they still claims to be 'complete' innocents and have done nothing wrong at all. What's worst is that they begin to question the alliances between the ponies and the yaks. While they were at it Princess Cadence recieved a message from her aunt, Celestia, that she will send Twilight and her friends to make peace with the yetis before sunrise. Cadence hope that Twilight would hurry. *In a train* Inside a train that is on it's way to the Crystal Empire were six special ponies on a mission. Those ponies happens to be the bearers of the elements of harmony; Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. As soon as Twilight Sparkle recieved her letter from Princess Celestia, she woke up all her friends since it was night time. She woke them up and told them about the war threat they all hurried to the train station and made their way to the Crystal Empire, they know they must be there before sunrise. "Whoever those 'Yetis' are, do they really need to bring war for something bad happened to them?" Rainbow Dash asked. "These creatures claims that the Yaks attacked them when they tried to befriend them, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true." Applejack speaks her mind. It dosen't matter how it all happens we need to find a way to make peace with them and solve this problem before it gets out of hoof." Twilight Sparkle said to her friends with concerns. She was mostly worried about her brother and sister-in-law, she dosen't want anything bad happening to them. After an hour or two, the train stopped... AT APPLELOOSA!!? "WHAT!!!!!!?" They all shouted. "Why are we not at the Crystal Empire!?" Rainbow Dash asked in the sky. "Why in Equestria did we stop here?" Rarity wondered. The girls still ask themselves that and wonder until the train conductor speak out loud. "Sorry ponies! This will be our stop due to there are sheeps and cows sleeping on the road!" The train conductor said. All the girls were shocked to the core that the train stopped by sleeping sheeps and cows, once they saw it with their own eyes. "CURSE YOU SHEEPS AND COWS!" Pinkie Pie shout out loud with her fist in the air. Now the girls must find a way to make it to the Crystal Empire before sunrise. *Crystal Empire* While Shining Armor and the Yak leaders still debate, Princess Cadence notice the sun is comming and Twilight still haven't come. "Oh, no." She said quietly to herself. The sunrise was even seen by the Yeti horde. "The sun rises sire and they still house the murderers." Talmar said to King Hercules and it earned the attentions from other Yetis. King Hercules was really hoping that the Crystal ponies would have some sense of honor, he was proven to be wrong about them. He could not been more disappointed. Why do they help and believe those monsters? What have they done to earn their loyalty? Now that their time's up, Hercules have no choice but to keep his words "sighing Begin." King Hercules ordered with a heavy heart. Right after his words, the Yeti warhorns blows. The catapults and trebuchets start to fire their chaos balls; catapult at the army and the trebuchets at the city. Those chaos balls cause alot of damage, they killed alot of crystal ponies and yaks with their hits and destroyed alot of buildings. While the artillery bombard, the yeti warriors of chaos charge along with their warbeasts. Both in panic and by instinct the ponies and yaks respond with their own charge, the chaos balls took out alot of their comrades out and it angers the yaks mostly. The Frost Wyrms take flight to wipe out the empire's air force and the yeti war mammoths were the first line of attack. As the armies clash against each other, the war mammoths manage to break through the pony/yak line and cause disorder in their ranks, sending their soldiers flying around, their limbs were literary teared off and worst of those who were unfortunate were also stomped by the mammoth's giant feets, that turned them into blood pools. The mammoths left behind themselves a mess of crystal ponies and yaks who are in disarray, that gave the yeti marauders the advantage to kill them. The Yeti horde are breaking through very quickly. Even though the Crystal Guards and the Yak Warriors fought back and put up a fight against their enemy, they all noticed that for each yeti marauder that fell he took at least three yaks and five ponies with him and to make matters worse the huge Frost Trolls and their large warhammers crush the ponies and the yaks into (literary) a bloody pulp, a dozen soldiers for each smashes. Even the other Yeti warbeasts are killing alot of enemy warriors. It didn't take long before Yeti horde manage to break the line and storm the city, the Crystal Empire's pegasus soldiers tried to help out but they were all taken care of by the Frost Wyrms and their frost beams from their mouths. Everyone starts to run for the lives, Crystal Ponies and Yaks alike from the vengeful Yeti Warriors of Chaos. The rulers of the empire and the yaks saw in horror how these barbarians manage to over run them in a matter of seconds. "We must get everypony out of here!" Princess Cadence told them. "We can't let us selves lose to savages!!" King Burrok argue against her. "WE HAVE ALREADY LOST!!! IF WE KEEP FIGHT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT ANYONE!!!" Princess Cadence yelled out from the top of her lungs in anger and desperation of helping her subjects. Shining Armor didn't like to retreat but his wife is right, protecting his subjects is far more important than fighting a loosing battle. "Soldiers! Get all our civilians out of the city, get them all out! Fall back now! Fall back to Equestria!!" Shining Armor yelled out. Shining, Cadence and their soldiers (along with a few yaks) quickly abandoned the field and all around they could see the snow drenched in the blood of both their comrades and the enemy while the Yeti marauders shouted in a bloodcurdling roars while cutting down whatever Yak who still stand and fight. King Burrok and Prince Rutherford stayed to fight, it didn't take long for them both to be killed by Sabertooths. King Hercules saw that the battle is won and the Crystal Ponies starts to run away, he ordered his warriors not to follow them and secure the city for themselves. The Crystal Ponies and Yak civilians who were left behind and was caught by the Yetis was given a choice by Hercules to either leave or stay in their homes on the condition that they will follow Yeti laws. With the city secured, Hercules and his Yetis starts to walk around the city. They found the crystal heart and feelt the power inside it, Hercules ordered his warriors to bring it to the shamans for study. While they were at it Hercules kept looking around but he know one thing though, his race, his kingdom and he himself are now at war. But he will fight for what's right. //-------------------------------------------------------// Damned for All Time //-------------------------------------------------------// Damned for All Time 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. https://camo.derpicdn.net/1ac8979c06e0b06991079e3d689150e9ddb19c87?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg01.deviantart.net%2Faf8a%2Fi%2F2015%2F180%2F2%2Fd%2Fwendigos_by_edwarddelandreart-d8z8fp7.jpg Rot Wendigoes are infested Werecreatures of Chaos serving the Yeti as their assassins and raiders. https://camo.derpicdn.net/0b081a3f554bd6b987e681c238c33527a5c6709b?url=http%3A%2F%2Fimg08.deviantart.net%2Fe317%2Fi%2F2013%2F043%2F2%2Fc%2Fvampire_bats_by_faxtar-d56v9uf.jpg 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. https://camo.derpicdn.net/7f79923067f776ae4216d2561e846ad377388159?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F78%2Fee%2Faf%2F78eeafddfffd41506a3ff8d01c668c55.jpg 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. https://camo.derpicdn.net/2d50c12d98a3bb22eb95d819fb68daa7a0ff807a?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4WQ9w45.jpg 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. https://camo.derpicdn.net/845dbf17bbb0d8b37c92940fa88a3a947d308565?url=http%3A%2F%2Fimg09.deviantart.net%2F2622%2Fi%2F2015%2F140%2F3%2F0%2Ffinal_stand_by_greennpc-d8u4kbt.png 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 (https://mlpforums.com/uploads/post_images/sig-4122698.commission__mlp_anthro_version_by_jadenkaiba-d5jpjf0.jpg) 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. //-------------------------------------------------------// Too Many Enemies //-------------------------------------------------------// Too Many Enemies 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. //-------------------------------------------------------// Winter Invasion and First Allied //-------------------------------------------------------// Winter Invasion and First Allied *Outpost 23, North of Galloping Gorge* Outpost 23 was one of the many forts on the borderlands of Equestria. Mostly it's a quiet and boring place so the soldiers there aren't active, but when the words about the war with a barbaric race called the Yetis reached out to their ears, the soldiers began to pay attention and take their duty more seriously. On the stockade of the fort, two Equestrian soldiers, a Earth Pony and a Pegasus, were on watch that night. It seemed like a normal night at Outpost 23: nothing going on at all. But they are not to be fooled, when they heard about the fall of Yakyakistan and the Crystal Empire they were nervous about what would happen if the barbarians would invade them. "So far, so good." said the earth pony nervously. He was red in color with a green mane and tail. His cutie mark was of a gate with two spears crossed in front of it. His fellow guard was yellow in color with a light blue mane and tail. His cutie mark was a pair of binoculars over a chess rook. The Pegasus looked at the Earth pony. "Yeah, but for how long? I haven't seen a 'Yeti' before so we don't know what they looked like." He said with a little worries. "If these monsters could conquer the Crystal Empire and Yakyakistan, what chance do we have against them?" the earth pony asked his friend. "Perhaps they were just lucky and our allies were just unprepared. But still we must stay alert, if we wants to keep our home safe we must fight these freaks." the pegasus guard told him. Still nervous but stood guard, those two are sure they will do their duty. After 45 minutes of guarding, came snowfall to the camp. The little snowfall in short time turned into a blizzard and that's got every guards attention as they all were walking/running around the camp and wondered where the blizzard came from. Many of them looked in the sky to see if there were pegasii who was just pulling a prank on them only for the soldiers to see that there were none. "Where the buck does this snow come from!?" A Unicorn captain shout out to his soldiers in anger and confusion. Only to recieve no answer from them. After a short time, the fort wall began to make some wood cracking sounds before the wall itself fell down on the ground, everything on the wall fell down; the towers, the gate, everything. That cause every soldier there to take up their weapons and be alarmed. As they all take position and make formation, the unicorn captain with his fancy halberd looked around, through the blizzard to see what is happening. Not too long he saw a mysterious figure comming from the blizzard fog, as he came closer he was joined by other figures very similar to him. Not too long it is revealed that they are adorned in dark-grey armor and wielding axes and swords, they all appear out of the mist like ghosts and he could see the parts that was not covered in armor; like some parts of the arms, legs and around the stomach have snow-white fur. Only then do the Equestrian force realize that they are the enemies as they starting to panic as the Yeti marauders are joined by Dire Wolves, Rot Wendigoes and Ice Wraiths next to them and was getting closer. "Forward, soldiers of Equestria! FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES!" The unicorn captain cried out as he lead a charge straight through them, trying to take out a Yeti he was attacked by three Ice Wraiths who will keep him busy while the Yeti marauders of chaos are cutting down every pony guard they meet, the Equestrian soldiers were easily overpowered and the unicorn captain found himself surrounded and was struck from behind by a mace. As his vision began to blur, he could do nothing but helplessly watch as his soldiers were slaughtered one by one when out of the mist came a Yeti with a dread-looking claymore in his hand towards him, raising it over his head and bring it down on the captain; killed him in the progress. *Refugees Camp, Neighagra Falls* Things do not look so good for the Crystal Ponies and the Yaks. All their homes are destroyed and it's all because of this 'Hercules' of the Yeti race living right next door. This was really bad for them. Sure they get food and supplies from Equestria and other nations and they may have an entire army in case of an attack. Shining Armor, Princess Cadence and the Yak's newly elected leader, Mormash, attented to the refugees of their kingdoms. "This is just terrible, for all of us." Princess Cadence said as she held Flurry Heart in her arms and walks with her husband and the Yak leader. "Indeed Cadence, our homes, all stolen by Hercules and his barbarian minions." Shining Armor joined in, with a hint of anger. "Who does these freaks think they are, comming around and take what they want with unfair justification and false accusations!? They have no right to steal our homes like they owned it!" Mormash said in sadness and anger. "We don't know if their accusations are false, for all we know it is the only explanation for this to happened. What other reasons are there for attacking us than retaliation?" Princess Cadence said to the Yak who's still angry. "WHAT other reasons are there!? How about wanting just more land!? How about for sport or how about the leader is a power hungry tyrant!? HOW about...." The Yak leader out of anger criticize Cadence but stopped when he realized he's wrongfully took his anger out on her. Soon he calmed down a bit. "Forgive me anger, I... I shouldn't have taken it out on you." Mormash said with his head down in shame. Princess Cadence placed her hand on his right shoulder to show him forgiveness. "But still, Cadence, how comes that you act like you're defending them?" Shining Armor ask his wife with worries and disappointment. "If things like the one the Yetis claimed has happened to them has happened to us, what would we do? What would you do? or the Griffons or Minotaurs? If something similiar happened to anyone of us nations as the Yetis claimed happened to them, how would we have reacted?" Princess Cadence reasoned with them, who begins to pay attention to her. "The Yetis has no other reasons to attack anyone without something to justify it with, since Hercules is a king who looks after his subjects like we do, like aunty Celestia and Luna do, it could be true. For what if.. these accusations... are true..." Princess Cadence kept trying to find a reason behind King Hercules' actions. Shining Armor and Mormash didn't like it at all, but nevertheless as they paied attention to Cadence they began to rethink the whole conflict. Not too long, the refugees camp was joined up by a blizzard. A blizzard that make everypony freeze and quickly turned the waterfalls into ice. Shining Armor, Princess Cadence and Mormash immediately recognized the blizzard as they have seen it in the Crystal Empire, they knows that means only one thing. "YETIS!! THE YETIS HAS COME!!!!" Mormash yelled out so loud that all in the refugees camp could hear it and began to run for their lives. Every soldier from Equestria, Crystal Empire and Yakyakistan began to rally around their leaders to fight to protect the refugees. "You two get the hell out of here, now!!!" Mormash told Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, to their disagreement. "WHAT, no way we are leaving you behind!!" Shining Armor said out loud to the Yak leader. "Without you two, the refugees will be without protection and your child would be without parents!" Mormash argued back at them. Shining Armor wants to argue back but couldn't find any words to say now that he mentioned the refugees and his daughter, Flurry Heart. "SCRAM!!!!" The Yak leader yelled out at them as they began to run. While they all were running, Mormash rally all the troops to form a defensive line to protect the refugees at all cost. After a minute, the ground exploded and from it came a 12-17 feet tall Frost Troll with two war clubs in it's hands. As it saw the pony and yak soldiers in front of it, the Frost Troll began to swing it's war clubs around at them, sending the soldiers flying around. It didn't take long for Mormash to be hit by one of it's war club. He fell to the snowy ground with dizziness and when he tried to get up with it, only for a minute til the Yeti horde charge and the Yak leader was both kicked back down on the ground and was hacked down by three Yeti marauders, killed him. The Yeti horde keep swarming and overrun the refugees camp as the banner of Yetiheim was raised by a Yeti who roared in victory. *Rainbow Falls* A beautiful place with rainbow-colored waterfalls, but also has a handful of dwellings and a training course for holding the Equestria Games tryouts. The village holds an annual Traders Exchange for some time. Now since the words about the Yeti conquest of the Crystal Empire and Yakyakistan reached everypony's ears, it's been filled with soldiers to protect it, not just Equestrian soldiers but also Minotaurs, Griffons, Changelings and Dragons came to help. The soldiers helped building up defences for an invasion, the Equestrians and the Minotaurs took care of the ground forces while the Changelings, the Griffons and the Dragons handle the air forces due to their ability to fly. The civilians were worried as hell since the soldiers talks about some kind of invasion in their homes. Some of the civilians decided to move until the situation is over while others stayed. The defenders had everything they needed to defend the place; weapons, armors, supplies, fortifications, enchantments, shield spell and other kinds of barriers to prevent an invasion. The only thing that they don't have is the knowledge about when the attack will come and how the enemies would approach. For all they know, the Yeti race is completely new to them and they know almost nothing about them. The only way the Yetis would invade the place on foot is through the train bridges and tunnels, which are barricaded and blocked so charging though them would be impossible and as far as they know the Yetis can't fly. After a few hours of waiting and watching, came a strong snow blizzard that was so cold that the rainbow-colored waterfalls quickly turned to solid ice. The soldiers and the civilians didn't had any winter clothes on them so they all quickly shacking violently. Worst of all, the Changelings and Dragons aren't build for cold and snow so it effected them much worse, a few of them died in mere seconds by the cold. The wind was so strong the Griffons and the Pegasus guards had it very hard to fly correctly. During the chaos of the uncontrollable blizzard, from the mountains came what looks like soild ice comming towards the edge of the town, forming strong bridges. Once they are formed, the earth shake rapidly and soon all the soldiers of Rainbow Falls will know why. From above the ice bridges came the Yeti marauders wearing ironclad armor, armed with weapons of many kinds and charging down with their war beasts next to them. Racing down at them like a horde of locusts, roaring their war cries with their weapons raised. While it happens, the defenders were busy trying to form a line of defense against the on-rushing enemy. The Yeti charge also brought alot of arrows and attack spells into the formation. Both the extreme cold (since the defenders didn't have propper clothes) and the powerful impact of the arrows and spells attacks cause the whole line of soldiers to fall down. Once the Yeti horde came in close combat with the defenders, they quickly smashed through and took out alot of the defenders with ease. It only took them mere seconds before the defenders began to shatter and flee from the battlefield. The defenders had no way of escaping because of the powerful blizzard, the battle was over... The Yetis won. *Yetiheim, in the throne of stone, King Hercules' bedroom* After a long beauty sleep, King Hercules slowly opened his eyes as he entered the waking world once more. He rubbed his eyes softly with hands and found that female creature laying on his chest with her head next to his and hair was draped over his face. He brushed her oily and strangely cyan hair off from his face and.... WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT!!!!??? King Hercules' eyes became a big as plates and was shocked to the core. This female creature was another equine but she had a green insect like carapace on her abdomen. There were no fur on her body. Her arms and legs had holes in them. Even in her wings and her horn looked crooked. A million questions came across Hercules' head while he didn't even move since she was still sleeping on him, atop of his body with a firm grip around him. He still didn't move since he wonder if she came in peace or came for his assasination cause if she wanted him dead, he would have blood over his body and she wouldn't be here. After a few seconds of thinking rapidly about this, she slowly opened her eyes and let out a big yawn. “Yaaaaaawn, what a sweet dream~" she said purring, licking her lips and a strange green aura being drawn from him to her mouth. "Wow, who would have thought I would feel this taste again." She said in a lustful tone, soon she looked up and saw the huge eyes of the Yeti King and knows that he was awaken, making the female creature chuckle. Oh, right. Sorry my little ape, I couldn’t help but to sleep, your fur is sooo soft it's irresistible. Buuuut, I guess the cats out of the bag now. Just so you know this, if I was your enemy I would have killed you in your sleep." She pressed herself a little closer to him, making the Yeti hard to breath a little. Her breasts were pressed tight against chest and even he could feel it. "What are you doing here? And why?" It was all Hercules could ask since he dosen't know if she was an friend or foe. That cause her to bring her head closer to his, so that their noses touches each other. "The enemy of my enemy... is my friend~" She said as she smiled slyly and licked her lips. This cause Hercules to think what she could possible mean. "The Equestrians, they're your enemies." King Hercules realized why she is here, she want to make an alliance. She began to take a more serious face when she began to explain futher. "As well as that traitor, Thorax. He betrayed me and stole my hive from me. He has turned all of my subjects against me. I so thirst for vengance for what both he and that cursed pony, Starlight Glimmer did to me. All I did was trying to help my race survive. The world hated us just because we were so different, our way of feeding is also what cause us to be rejected." She said in both anger and sadness as she laid her head next to his and tighten her grip on him. "Then Thorax came and with the help of a certain pony name Starlight Glimmer, they turned all my subjects into abominations and turned them against me, becoming willing slaves to Equestria. I had to flee to find a way to have my vengance on them." She said in a determined tone before she looked at Hercules with a slyly smile as she licked her lips and placed her hand in his cheek. "And I noticed that the Equestrians and their pawns had done to you and your subjects. Now they are 'our' enemies and I think it only make sense that if they unite against you we can unite against them." she said, smiling and messing up his fur. "Kind of make sense, but why in this approach?" King Hercules asked with a face that calls her stupid. "Isn't it better than being attack and killed for your appearance?" She said as she cuddle next to him, purring more clearly. She nuzzled his cheek and smiled happily. "I suppose it make more sense, but I must know this. Who is my ally?" He asked her as she began to lift herself up a little in a straddling position. "Deary... I'm Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings.~” She said with a lust filled voice, giving him a sly smirk and half lidded eyes. https://camo.derpicdn.net/3f781803f8f082030a0cc65e713535809c011c97?url=http%3A%2F%2Forig04.deviantart.net%2Fe2da%2Ff%2F2013%2F227%2F5%2F8%2Fqueen_chrysalis_by_angelthecatgirl-d6i7f1t.png //-------------------------------------------------------// The Night Before Tomorrow //-------------------------------------------------------// The Night Before Tomorrow *Two Months Later* The last two months have been stressful and painful on both side during the war. King Hercules used Chrysalis to read out anything in the equestrian written language for him while slowly teaching him it as well, she's teased the Yeti king daily about it. She even gave Hercules history lessons of Equestria and other nations due to her years of experience so that he'll learn more about his enemies. Speaking of the enemies, the attacks on those three places were just raids for intimidations, with those Hercules hoped that Equestria and it's allies would stop their attempts to invade Yetiheim. But instead, they keep gathering soldiers from their nations together around Equestria and send them around the mountains. Their invasion forces would have succeeded if it wasn't for the Mountain Hydras guarding the borders of the snowy mountains and obliterate their armies fully. Hercules then tried to send an even harder message by ordering his chieftains to go futher down in Equestria and even go to other nations and do alot of pillaging and plundering. The brutality of their raids have been felt as far abroad as the eternal winters of the Windigos and the magic-stealing rampage of Tirek, for the Yeti marauders are reckoned to be perhaps the most adept sailors and navigators; bandits and raiders in all the world; unequaled by any in their courage and reckless thirst for conquest. The Yeti Warriors of Chaos are, without exception, great warriors, blessed with incredible strength at arms and the unpredictable might of chaos magic. King Hercules did not like it at all, he just want it all to end. But he dosen't want it do end with is surrender. Every week he send letters to the leaders nations who are at war against him, told them to leave him and his race alone, to end this war just by standing down. But all he recieved is insults and demand of his total surrender. They all called him alot of things such as 'monster', 'fiend', 'tyrant', 'beast', or even 'killer'; King Hercules came to the conclusion that the nations can't be reasoned with and soon he must lead a full scale invasion against them to bring an end to this war. While his chieftains continued on with their looting and pillaging while the Yeti King himself will train a strong and powerful invasion force to end this war once and for all. Chrysalis has informed Hercules that the Bug Bear Territory is a place where no one would travel and since she saw how well the Yetis can handle wild monsters and use them for war she has no doubts about them being able to tame the Bug Bears and colonize the territory to prepare an invasion against Griffon Empire of Griffonstone. The Shamans of Chaos came to King Hercules with the progress report about the Crystal Heart. They told Hercules that the heart can turn the air itself into magical energy and that their chaos magic can twist that energy into different purposes. They tested it by trying to focus it's energy on their chaos magic so that they can create new war beasts without the need of rocks or other already existing things to create new life and the good news is that it worked. So they created a few new war beasts to help them in their war; both in ocean and air: https://camo.derpicdn.net/63d84f4f5f823bfd16d52514b1f81586891802da?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F28%2F3d%2Fb6%2F283db6561251929a10d10626f693839e.jpg The Crociladons are a fast breeding aqua-reptiles who are more easily found in beaches and coasts. https://camo.derpicdn.net/846bb67078ebde6f1deb42ae69acdf11483c8d6a?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F236x%2Fbe%2Fba%2F48%2Fbeba488528316e700d6f51a5d90753ab--water-dragon-sea-dragon.jpg The Sea Serpent is known as the mutator of sea and while it only eat plant-life in the ocean, it is known for turning as many fish lives into aggressive mutant monsters under it's command. https://camo.derpicdn.net/076e6ba9fae8c31d1add20adc68514fd08086d6d?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdigitalart.io%2F%2Fstorage%2Fartworks%2F554%2FGodlike-Monster-Art-Sea-Monster.jpeg The Calypsonian is a 100 feet tall sea monster attacking ships for the need to eat the woods of the ship. https://camo.derpicdn.net/3ee82e3180269dccb46824bb176267f027634e0a?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Ff2%2Fd4%2F8a%2Ff2d48a2e2305e7121e10bff5c31159f2.jpg The Axe Sharks have their axe-like noses so strong and sharp they'll use it to ram ships from bellow and cause the ship to sink to eat the crew. https://camo.derpicdn.net/638398efb32c7976ff7498e123d79a3f83844a59?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F236x%2F6a%2Fc5%2F1a%2F6ac51aa1ae1f3891fd189ad008b67a2f.jpg The Saber Fishes can jump and glide in the air (almost like flying) and use their sword-like noses and fins to cut the crew down. https://camo.derpicdn.net/6d3a329f4c33f64fb1ea59db175db44bca567c80?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F54%2F90%2Fe6%2F5490e6b81955f88121d4ca0bc16bc076--mythical-creatures-art-underwater-creatures.jpg The Stone turtle is like a sea warthog, it digs a cave under water to keep it's cubs safe and it they see something close to their home they will attack it for protection of their cubs. https://camo.derpicdn.net/92f6d4cd4e29d71942a5df7d203835d637d9f4f1?url=https%3A%2F%2Forig00.deviantart.net%2Fa9a6%2Ff%2F2015%2F322%2F4%2F2%2Fflying_monster_by_draketurtle-d9h3ass.png The Swinglings are an invasive air species that attacks and devour all lives in a swarm. https://camo.derpicdn.net/8d2fdc74a4b3bab85291747e28ba229826f3fe58?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F1d%2Fa8%2F02%2F1da8021199a2627521b6c637c45cfb01.jpg The Cry Fiend is a demonic-looking air creature who can roar a shout so loud it will deafened anyone that hears it's scream. https://camo.derpicdn.net/36464b586eb52960721b775f043a9f37fb273dd8?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2Fdd%2F83%2Fe9%2Fdd83e9849a6498849e94dfb2563a00d2--alien-creatures-fantasy-creatures.jpg The Crodivers are a predatory air creature who focus their hunting trips on the ground by attacking from the sky. https://camo.derpicdn.net/a1dcbe305fa3e28a5ad8a39d2592b606ae1b24d3?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdnb.artstation.com%2Fp%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fimages%2F000%2F853%2F387%2Flarge%2Fbaldi-konijn-snapper.jpg%3F1434576556 The Slyvfers are a highly aggressive air creatures living in the mountains, they are natural enemies of the Dragons. https://camo.derpicdn.net/17b5f9fe403d0397394e2eea73b3df0e024502f9?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.playboundless.com%2Fuploads%2Fdefault%2Foriginal%2F2X%2F9%2F90f279013d04edd1d023a8f48e0b8f9786d6fdb1.jpg The Thunder Vulture is treated as the king of thunder and wind since it's psionic energy allows it to manipulate them to it's will and it will not hesitate to kill anyone or anything trespassing it's territory, which are the clouds. The success of using the heart's energy productions to do things out of thin air, King Hercules will use such advantage to recruit more warriors and beasts to help the fight. The newly created beasts of the sky and the sea are ordered to plague the enemy forces of the ocean and the sky to bleed them out, infact, Hercules sended out all of his beast around the enemy nations as wild monsters to plague them and make them more exhausted. During these last two months, Chrysalis has been sneaking into Hercules' room and getting into bed with him, even where she has her own room. She's always saying about feeling more secure and that he's just so nice to be around. But Hercules suspects that all she's trying to do is getting into his pants any way she can. *Present Time* From the highest balcony in the highest mountain of the north, the Yeti King use his chaos magic in his eyes to view every battle he could find between his subjects and the enemies. All the killings just carried on and on, so much on what's the purpose of it all? Entire armies clashes with each other and kept on spilling blood of every father, brother, cousin, uncle, son, grandson and even nephew on both sides, both sides violence were going at an extremely fast velocity. Since the other nations won't listen to Hercules peace requests, he and the rest of his species have done much to survive in this new world. They raid and pillage any nearby settlements for food and supplies, as well as any riches the enemies had. They were also careful with selecting villages that had weak garrisons. They maybe a chaotic warrior species, but that doesn't mean that they aren't stupid or barbaric. It was getting harder and harder since this Princess of the Sun decided to get her head out of her ass with this alliance of hers and send troops to defend the Equestrian country side. If the Yeti raiders weren't enough, Equestria and it's allies received countless reports about monster attacks on their subjects. Towns and villages, even military outposts has been attacked by monstrous predators and they had been killing many in their hunts. Needless to say, King Hercules was heartbroken. Everytime he sees a life being taken away, he feels pain. He ordered his warriors to make their deaths quick and painless so that he won't have to watch them suffer and feel their pain as well. But nevertheless he's still hurt that he must keep fight and kill for the well being of his species. Truth is he never asked for this, all he tried to do was making friends with the natives with hopes of that his race could travel freely around the world and live in paradise full of adventures and new experiences, to have all his dreams come true. But instead all he recieved is violence, pain, suffering... death. The only thing the natives of this world gave him and his race is hatred for their apperances. Now, King Hercules believes that they all are beyond redemption and the only way for his species to live in peace and freedom is their extinction. After a short time alone, Hercules felt a pair of arms wrap around his body. He looked down to see they were black and realized it was Chrysalis. She was smashing her breast up against Hercules' back and he was struggling to contain his urges. He was reminded that his race are not the only ones being victimized by the world, the changelings under Queen Chrysalis has always being under iron boot of persecutions and famine until a brainwashed changeling named Thorax took over her hive and turned them all into 'abominations' and serve the Equestrians. She spent centuries of looking after the well being of her race and tried to keep them safe and alive; and how did they repaied her with? Betrayal, abandoness and more violence to her after all she tried to do for her race's well being. "Why the long face? Bad dreams?" She moaned both in curiosity. Hercules mostly sighed in sadness. "Can you see it all, hear it all? The whole war. The horrors of it all." He asked her and that caused her to stopp her flattery and stood next to him. "Of course, sire. Thing is, it is no stranger to me." She told him and once she looked at him she could see the sad face of the Yeti King, her faced turned sympathetic. "Chrysalis... am I a good ruler? Have I gone too far? Was there something I could have done to stop this madness?" Hercules asked her with a voice of regrets. "There are things we all wish to undo... but once the deed is done and cannot be undone, the only thing we can do AND the very thing only is to carry on and make it better." Chrysalis encouraged and comfort him as best as she could. It seems to work since Hercules turned his face to her with a small smile of hope as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Thank you, Chrysalis. Your words are always helpful and needed. I'm just glad that my race are not alone in this suffering." Hercules said to her in a tone of kindness. This cause Chrysalis to smile and lightly pulled Hercules into a hug, which he welcomed without hesitation. "Hercules, I have been given a little though of something." Chrysalis said as they broke from their hug and Hercules starts to listen to her. I have been living here for the past two months yet you feed me, gave me somewhere to hide and ask for nothing in return. What would you like to happen say, if I stay here with you. I’m sure I can find something to please your tastes~" She said in a lust full tone, she pressed herself a little closer to him, making the poor Yeti sweat a little. "Uuuuhhh, Chrysalis, that's really nice of you but I-" King Hercules was interrupted when the changeling queen used her magic to teleport them both in his bedroom with Chrysalis sitting on top of him, still pressing her breasts tight against him. "Hercules, since I will stay here with you I must help out and contribute to this war. The only way for me to do it is to make a new hive to assist and I think it's very fitting that a King would work together with a Queen, don't you think? I want you to father the next line of my children~" She purrs and leaned in and inhaled deeply, catching his scent. She shuddered hard, loving his amazing musky scent from his fur. It smelled like he was in dire heat and a mare needed to relieve him. Her marehood was dripping with her nectar and her juices were leaking and falling down her legs. As for Hercules, he was in a very tight spot, and was doing his hardest to fight the arousal. But since he never had these kind of things before, he couldn't do anything. "I sense it is your first time... that's why your scent... is unlimited delicious~" She said with a lust filled voice. She was shaking like she was in heat. She was incredibly horny, and she wanted his strong manhood inside of her, and cum inside of her. HARD. "Chrysalis you mus-" Hercules tried to speak but he was interrupted by Chrysalis who caught Hercules off guard and pinned him hard down on the bed. Before he could react again, Chrysalis pressed her lips against his in a hard, passionate kiss. Hercules face turned bright red and Chrysalis grind her body against his, feeling his warm fur body. Chrysalis use her magic from her horn to grabb his manhood from his pants and stroke it rapidly. Hercules gasped and opened his mouth, using this to her advantage, she darted her tongue inside of his mouth, and started wrestling with his. As she still kiss him, Chrysalis pressed closer to the young king and her breasts squished against his hard chest, making her moan in pleasure. Hercules was starting to lose this fight and he didn’t know what to do at this point now, since she was dominating him. Chrysalis broke the kiss and a strand of saliva was still connected to the two. While it happens she quickly guided his member towards her dripping entrance and without skipping a beat she sunk down on it. One thrust had Hercules' member hilt deep inside her. Hercules moaned as he felt the tip pressing against her cervix, Chrysalis moaned and with her hand she felt a small bulge on her stomach. "Have never felt so full before, you will be the perfect breeder of a new hive and I can finally help out in these trouble times. A hive worthy of a king.~” Chrysalis moaned and started her thrusting, moving up and down, with the sounds of their bodies slapping against one another. She grunted and moaned, loving the feeling of a member buried deep in her womb. This was completely new to him as his old kind never does this since... EVER! Now he was lost and had no idea what it was and felt only the pleasure shooting down his spine. Suddenly, he felt his hands rise and grip her flanks. That caught him by surprise since he has no idea what or why he is doing. “Oh yes yes yes! Take me you 'Highness'! Penetrate me and give me a new hive!" Chrysalis moaned. She was in heaven by the feeling of the rod pulsing faster and growing harder inside of her. Hercules' tip was hitting her cervix open every time and trying to go past it as she slammed down and both moaned. He could feel her getting more and more of his member inside her womb as time went by with each thrust. After a while of riding, Chrysalis pulled Hercules' head between her breasts and held him tightely with her arms around his neck as she increased her thrusting. “Oh fuck fuck fuck yes yes yes! I’m gonna cum! I’m gonna cum!~” She moaned and thrusted faster, Hercules felt his own climax approaching as well. He can’t stop. The pleasure was to good for him. “Cumming! Cumming! OH FUCK YEEEES!~” Chrysalis screamed and her marehood squirted with her juices and her inner walls squeezed the Yeti's rod, milking for any of his seed. Hercules came to and his seed spilled into her womb. She quickly wrap her legs around his waist and pressed them both tightly together so that she won't have to miss a single drop of his sperm. Chrysalis moaned, seeing starts and angels, as she felt his seed inject into her thirsty womb. It all felt amazing, warm, and so good. Hercules panted and starts getting sleepy eyes, with his member still inside of her. They both layed down on the bed as Chrysalis used her magic to pull the sheet over them both. She pulled her face to his and kissed him deeply, with her tongue swirling in his mouth. She broke the kiss and giggled seductively. "As soon as my new hive comes, I will finaly assist you handsome.~” Chrysalis said with her voice filled with lust. Hercules couldn’t find words in his mouth to what happened, after all what could he say or do after experienced something new, something he never knew about even in "The Creation of Existence". Noticing the Yeti falling asleep, Chrysalis placed a small kiss on Hercules' lips before pulling him close to her chest and wrapping him securely in her arms and legs. “Sleep well my king. You'll need it for your battles." She said in a motherly tone as they both fell asleep.
