As Dragon Lord Atomsk sat on his throne, he released a dark growl as he remembered his humiliating defeat at the hands of Princess Celestia. Not only that, but a random attack by an elderly mare that destroyed his caravan. He and his daughter, Amethyst, barely escaped with their lives while the fate of the guards that were with them remains unknown. His anger grew as that's twice now he was defeated at the hands of ponies. Clenching his fist, a dark aura surrounded his body as he growled again. The damage to his pride was unexplainable.
"FATHER!" came a voice.
Atomsk rose his head and saw a white dragon with medium blue-green colored scales and eyes walking into the throneroom with haste. "What is it, White Wing?" Atomsk asked, not wanting to be bothered at the moment.
"There's trouble at the border!" he said. "The Equestrians are attacking!"
"WHAT?!" Atomsk yelled in a voice similar to the royal canterlot's. The dragon lord got up from his throne and hurried to the balcony. Once there he grabbed the telescope that was mounted there and looked through it. He saw a massive amount of black smoke in the distance. Seconds later, a massive fireball rose into the air with the shockwave of the explosion hitting them a few seconds later; causing them to stumble.
"What is going on, father?!" White Wing asked. "Just what happened in Equestria?!"
"It doesn't matter." he growled. "Ready the troops! If it's a war they want, it's a war they'll get!"
"FATHER!" White Wing yelled as he pointed to the sky. Atomsk turned to face what his son was pointing to and saw a massive fireball coming right at them. The two dragons quickly ran inside just as the fireball hit the castle; exploding on impact and sending them flying. Pieces of the ceiling fell on top of the two of them as the throne room was now in ruins. Both Atomsk and White Wing emerged from the wreckage with slight bruises on their bodies. "Damn those ponies!" Atomsk growled. At that point, three dragon guards rushed in and pulled both father and son out of the wreckage. "Go, get the army ready!" he ordered. "Those ponies will regret this!" As White Wing and the guards left, Atomsk looked over at his throne and saw that it was completely destroyed. Gritting his teeth, he released a powerful growl of anger that could be heard throughout the castle.
****************************
White Wing ran through the castle with the dragon guards behind him. Their destination was the training grounds where all the other guards were. Once there, he'll tell them what's going on and what to do. On the way there, he ran into a certain dragoness who had a worried look on her face. "White Wing, what's going on?" she asked. "Where's Dad?"
"We're under attack, Amethyst!" he answered. "It's the Equestrians!"
"W-Why are they attacking us?" she asked.
"Don't play stupid. You know damn well why they're attacking." he said sternly. "If you hadn't played with the dragon's heart, then Goliath wouldn't have attacked him, and we wouldn't be in this confrontation. This is all because of you.......and Dad!"
"Prince White Wing, we have to go!" said on of the guards.
"Alright." he said before looking back at his sister. "You better hope we can resolve this before any innocent dragons get hurt."
****************************
There was nothing left of the border except ashes and charred up buildings. The cannons that was used to defend it were also destroyed. Many dragon soldiers laid on the ground unconscious as the group of crystal ponies walked over them. Massive catapults were loaded with giant fireballs that were launched into the air at the castle. At the forefront, was Granny Smith, wearing her combat outfit and holding up a pair of binoculars so she could see the fireballs hit their target. A smile appeared on her face as everything went according to plan. It wouldn't be long until she's gotten her hands on the one who hurt her precious grandchild.
"Commander!" called out a young crystal stallion. "What now?! Should me we move?"
"No, not yet." Granny replied. "Let them rally their troops. I want the Dragon Lord to see how easy we'll crush them before I take revenge."
"So what should we do with their catapults?" he asked.
"Take them with us, of course." she answered. "They'll prove useful as we get closer. Tell, everypony to get ready."
"Yes, ma'am!" he said.
****************************
The barrage of fireballs that rained from the sky, completely devastated the training ground for the royal guards. Everything, from their armor to their weapons, was on fire. Thankfully, they were able to save most of their equipment. All the guards stood at attention as White Wing approached them. "As you know, the Equestrian Ponies have just declared war on us!" he announced. "They've already breached the borders and have taken out the border patrol! It won't be long until they reach the castle gates! However, I believe they can be reasoned with! The last thing I want is another Grand War with the Equestrians!"
"And what if they can't be reasoned with?" came a voice. A golden dragon with yellow scales walked up on scene with a serious look on his face. "What then?" he added.
"Golden Fang, I understand your concern, but......." White Wing started.
"But nothing, they've destroyed the border and invaded our land!" Golden Fang interrupted. "It's clear they want a war, and negotiations are most likely the furthest thing on their minds! I say we launch a counter attack!" Golden Fang's statement received praise from the other dragons who raised their weapons high in the air and roared.
"I prefer a diplomatic solution." White Wing countered. "Not all wars can be won with violence." Golden Fang stared at the prince with a soft growl; know that this is one argument he wasn't going to win.
"Fine, talk to the ponies if you want, but when this "plan" of yours backfires, and trust me it will, my soldiers and I will defend our home at all cost."
"Prince White Wing, Prince White Wing!" came the voice of a young dragon who landed near him. "A large group of ponies are approaching the kingdom! They've got lots of weapons!"
"I'll handle it." White Wing said as he placed a claw on the young dragon's shoulder. "You should head back to your parents." The young dragon nodded, spread his wings, then took off. With the look of determination on his face, the dragon prince began to make his way towards the kingdom gates.
****************************
While walking through the streets of the kingdom, White Wing saw many of the guards trying to get the citizens to a safe place as buildings burned due to the attacks from the ponies. The dragon prince knew that he had to hurry and put an end to this before any innocent dragons wound up getting hurt. If he could just find out what it is they want, then maybe he could end this peacefully. Before long he made to the gate where two guards stood. "Open it." he said.
The two guards looked at each other with confusion before turning back to the prince. "Your highness, is that wise?" one of them asked.
"Just do it." he answered. "I'm going to end this before it escalates any further." The two guards reluctantly opened the gate before turning to see their prince walk through it. Believing that it was too dangerous for him to go alone, they followed right behind him; weapons in claw. The three dragons walked a couple of feet from the kingdom gate when they saw the armed crystal ponies slowly making their way towards them. "I am White Wing, Prince of Dragonia, I wish to speak with your leader!" he announced.
A dark green crystal pony stallion approached the prince and the dragon guards. "Our leader's not here right now." he said. "So you'll have to answer to me."
"And you are?" asked White Wing.
"Name's Dark Forest, of the Crystal Empire." he answered. "And since you're the prince, that means that Amethyst is your sister, right?"
"That's right." White Wing answered.
"Then you know why we're here." he continued. "Hand her over."
"I'm afraid I can't do that." White Wing countered. "As I recall, you already have the ones responsible for the attack."
"Not "all" of them." Dark argued. "Your sister is just as responsible as they are, and we're here to seek justice for the hero of the Crystal Empire, Spike, The Brave and Glorious!" The other crystal ponies cheered in agreement. "Now, hand her over or we'll have a REAL problem!"
White Wing was undeterred by Dark Forrest's threat and stayed firm. "Sorry, but I can't do that. I came here to end things on a peaceful note, and that's what I plan to do. So are we gonna talk this out like civilized beings or what?"
Dark looked back at the crystal ponies before looking over at White Wing. The decision he was about to make will determine where things go from here. With a dark smirk, he gave his answer. "We choose, "or what"!"
****************************
At the training grounds, Golden Fang sat impatiently as time went on. He knew that negotiations with the ponies were useless. Their intentions were made clear when they fired those fireballs at the castle. They want war, and he'll be sure to give to them once negotiations failed.
*BOOOOOM*
"What was that?" he said as he shot out of his seat. Running to the middle of the training yard, Golden Fang looked up at the watchtower where he saw one of his soldiers looking out at the horizon with a terrified look on his face. "YOU THERE, WHAT'S HAPPENED?!"
"T-They.......they.......THEY KILLED HIM!" he yelled. "THOSE FUCKING HORSES KILLED THE PRINCE!" This news spread throughout the yard. Every dragon was now burning with extreme anger and rage. They all looked to Golden Fang to give the order to attack. Balling his fist, Golden Fang turn towards his soldiers and gave his order.
"Prepare for war!" he said.
****************************
Granny smith stared out into the distance with a determined look on her face. Soon she will find the ones responsible for hurting Spike and make them pay tenfold. As she stood there, Dark Forest and his group of crystal ponies had returned to camp; Dark himself, walking up to the elderly pony to speak with her. "Is it done?" she asked.
"Yes." he answered. "The dragons should mobilizing as we speak."
A dark smile appeared on Granny Smith's face. "Good." she said. "One we take out their royal guards, we storm the kingdom."
"And then we burn it to the ground." Dark added.
Dark's statement caused Granny to looked at him with a glare. "We'll do no such thing. Ah don't plan on involvin' any innocent dragons in this attack. Ah only want the bitch who hurt mah grandson, and the limp dick bastard who helped conceive her. Do y'all understand? No harmin' civilians."
"Y-Yes ma'am." he said.
"Good. Now get the troops ready, a storms coming." she said. Before Granny turned back around, two crystal ponies walked up to them with prince White Wing wrapped in chains. "Put him in the cage. We'll release him once this is over."
"W-Wait! You don't have to do this!" he yelled as he was being dragged away. "We can resolve this peacefully!"
"Peace ended the second y'all sister started messin' with Spike." Granny countered as the prince was being dragged away.
****************************
News of Prince White Wing's "death" quickly spread throughout the kingdom; eventually making it to Dragon Lord Atomsk. Fill with unbridle rage, the dragon lord released a massive roar that sent shockwave throughout the kingdom. As he took his anger out on the throne room by smashing his fist into anything he could, Amethyst simply sat on the throne with a river of tears streaming down her face as she stared out into nothing. This was all her fault. Had she simply not played with Spike's heart the way she did, her brother would be here right now; possibly lecturing her on how to run the country if something were to ever happen to their father or what kind of appearances she should have when greeting the nobles. This was made worse as how she was feeling was the last thing her brother told her before he ran off. Unable to keep it in any longer, she openly wept.
"HUMILIATING ME WASN'T ENOUGH, CELESTIA?!" Atomsk yelled. "YOU HAD TO TAKE MY SON TOO?! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! ALL OF YOU WILL PAY!"
Unable to take her father's rage, Amethyst ran out of the throne room and into the hallway. She ran until she could run anymore and finally collapsed to her knees; burying her face in her hands as she wept harder than she ever did. There was only one dragon who could take her pain away from her, one dragon who could take revenge for her brother, but he was locked up in some prison far away. If only there was a way to get him to return. "Princess Amethyst, are you okay?" came a voice. The dragoness slowly raised her head and came in contact with a young grey and black scaled dragon wearing the traditional black armor from the royal guards. "S-Scourge?" she said as she wipe the tears out of her eyes. This was Scourge, a new recruit into the royal guard tasked with being Amethyst's personal guard. He reached out his claw and helped her up. "Princess, I heard about Prince White Wing." he said. "I'm so sorry for your loss. If there's anything you need from me, please let me know, and i'll do my best."
"All I need is some time alone right now." she said.
"Y-Yes, my princess." Scourge said as he took a step to the side. As Amethyst slowly walked passed him, a thought entered her head. They were in the middle of summer, which means all dragons were in the middle of their cycle. If she could somehow get herself in mortal danger, or get seduced by someone, then "he" would most definitely notice, and his internal instinct to want to protect what's his will kick in; sending him well on his way back to Dragonia. She stopped walking and turned back to look at Scourge. It was then she figured that Scourge would be the one to help bring her lover back. "Wait." she called; getting his attention. "There is......something.....you could do for me."
****************************
Golden Fang marched his troops wearing blood red spiked armor through the kingdom with the citizens cheering them on; all of them wanting revenge for what happened to their prince. The dragons marched through the gate and out into the open field where they marched about 500 yards away from the kingdom before one of them saw one of gatekeepers that left with White Wing. The gatekeeper was all chained up with a bandana wrapped around his mouth; a look of fear on his face and he thrashed around. Golden Fang ran up to him and pulled the bandana off. "Y-YOU GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE! IT'S A TRAP!" he yelled. Just then, a loud whistling noise could he heard coming at them at a fast pace.
BOOOOOOM
Something fell from the sky and landed on top a large group of the dragon soldiers; blowing them up on impact. More loud whistling sounds fill the sky before even more explosions befel on them. "TAKE COVER!" Golden Fang yelled as he ripped the chains off the gatekeeper. Most of the dragons all ran to find some kind of cover while the rest were caught up in the random explosions.
With the troops scattered, the crystal ponies made their move. Wielding assault rifles, they ran out into the open and opened fire on the dragons. The dragons were caught off guard by this move. They didn't expect the ponies to have this king of arsenal since all they had were swords, shields, and spears. Nonetheless, they weren't deterred, and with the order of Golden Fang, they charged at the ponies. Both sides roared as they ran towards one another on the open field; eventually colliding together. The crystal ponies used their assault rifles to block on coming attacks from the dragon's swords and spears, while the dragons used their shields to block on coming bullets. Their shields worked, for the most part, but most of the dragons were still getting hit by them. The bullets were strong enough to leave scratches and dents in their armor, but not enough to penetrate, unless they were constantly hitting the same area. A large section of the dragons took flight for an aerial attack, but were cut down when a group of crystal pegasi came at them. As the battle raged on, the crystal ponies started to fall back for some reason. Seeing this as a golden opportunity to win, Golden Fang ordered his troops to push forward. The dragons gave chase after the crystal ponies who turned around to face them before dropping to the ground. At that point, fast moving glowing missiles flew at the dragons; blowing them up on impact. The massive explosions engulfed nearly all of them; pieces of red armor flying through the sky. When the dust settled, most of the dragon's armor were blown off; leaving them exposed to the oncoming bullets from the crystal ponies who took this time to fire upon them. The dragon's thanked their lucky stars that their scales were strong enough to withstand the impact of the bullets, but that didn't mean they didn't hurt like Tartarus. Each bullet they got hit with was the equivalent of getting stung by both a wasp and a bee at the same time multiplied by 1000.
The field was fill with roars of pain from the dragons; most of them falling over in the fetal position and wished for the barrage to be over. It wasn't. Loud whistling sounds could be heard once again before many massive explosions covered the field. The ponies released a barrage of missiles and bullets; blowing up the dragons and crippling their defenses. "PUSH FORWARD!" yelled Dark Forest. The crystal ponies were able to push the dragon's back, much to the anger of Golden Fang. Seeing his soldiers fall to a bunch of ponies was disgraceful.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he yelled. "STAND YOUR GROUND!" Wielding his sword, Golden Fang charged at the ponies; dodging all explosions and bullets, leaping over his fallen soldiers, not stopping until he reached his goal of making it to their base of operations. A goal that wouldn't be reached. A dark shadow soon appeared over him and he stopped just in time to see a massive fireball coming at him. With a mighty roar, he used his sword and sliced through it; causing it to explode behind him. "IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!" he yelled with a mighty laugh. Seconds later, about a hundred massive fire balls filled the sky and they were all targeted on one spot.....Golden Fang. His mighty smiley instantly faded away as he found himself unable to escape. Dropping his weapons, Golden Fang looked up at the sky with a determined look on his face. At this moment, he'd accepted his fate. "Tell my wife...........she's a bitch."
*BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM*
Golden Fang was engulf in a massive explosion. A silhouette of his body showed his left arm and right let being severed from him. All the dragons who weren't caught up in the explosion, immediately began to fall back; slowly inching their way back to the kingdom gates. Some of which decided to hold the line and fight off as many of the ponies they could so that the others could make their escape. The crystal ponies pushed hard against the dragons; forcing them back as barrage after barrage of fireballs, bullets, and missiles rained down on top of them. Eventually, the dragons made it back to the kingdom; barricading themselves behind the gate. The crystal ponies cheered in victory. They had beaten the dragons back, but this war was far from over. Now that they had them trapped, and all that was left to do was to somehow break through the gates so they could get their hands on the one responsible for hurting Spike.
****************************
The loud sound of moaning and a creaking bed filled the room as Scourge thrusts heavily into Amethyst. The dragoness gripped the sheets and sealed her eyes shut as her large watermelon breasts bounced wild. Scourge couldn't believe his luck, first he was assigned to be the personal guard of the most beautiful dragoness in the country, and now he was in bed with her. His eyes glowed a bright white color as he pushed himself deeper inside her; causing her to moan his his name out loud. Amethyst managed to open her eyes long enough to grab Scourge's head and bring him him in for a passionate kiss.
Scourge responded by bringing his left claw to one of her large orbs and squeezed it hard; causing her to moan out once again. Taking charge, Amethyst flipped the two of them over where she began bouncing on top of him. Scourge growled as he felt himself go deeper inside the dragon princess. Her inner walls were like a vice; squeezing the life out of his member as she switched from bouncing to grinding every so often. Scourge released another growl as he grabbed both of Amethyst's breasts as a they bounced. The dragoness placed both claws on Scourge's chest and pick up the pace; lifting her head to look up at the ceiling as she felt her oncoming release. "I.....I'm close." she moaned. At that point, Scourge grabbed her a pulled her down on top of him; feeling her breasts against his chest. Amethyst started bouncing her hip up and down at a fast pace until the two of them came at the same time. Amethyst froze as her body started shaking while Scourge grabbed her by the rear while gritting his teeth as he unloaded deep with her.
The pair laid in bed for a while until Scourge flipped Amethyst onto her back, and moved in to bite her on the shoulder; marking her as his. However, the dragoness saw this coming, quickly grabbed a pillow, and placed it in his mouth where he bit down on it. "Can't have you marking me, can I?" she thought. "I just need you to help me bring "him" here." Amethyst grabbed Scourge's claws and placed them on her breasts; forcing him to squeeze them hard.
"P-Please." she begged in a cute voice. "I don't wanna be alone." This set Scourge into overdrive and he began thrusting in and out of her at a faster and harder pace than before; causing the dragoness to scream out in pleasure.
****************************
Sky Island. A remote isle in the middle of the ocean 5000 miles west of Equestria. On this island was Sky Prison; a penitentiary for Equestria's most heinous criminals. The island was surround with an antimagic field to block any and all magic users from trying to escape. Inside the prison, one of the earth pony guards walked the hallway; checking in on all the inmates. With everpony right where they ought to be, he traveled over to an elevator which brought him underneath the prison where those who were considered too dangerous for even the other inmates were held. It didn't take long until he came across the cell that held the red dragon, Goliath. He stopped to see that the dragon, who was chained to the wall, was growling as his body struggled to get free. "Try as you might, you can't get out of those chains." the guard chuckled. "They were forged from the hardest metal in Equestria. It's impossible." Little did he realize that what was actually happening, was Goliath's instinct's starting to kick in. He knew that someone was seducing his mate right this second and he was going to tear him apart. As the guard turned away, a dark red aura started to surround Goliath's body as his eyes turned blood red. His growling started to get louder as he thought about his mate being taken advantage of by another dragon
Black lightning sparked from his body as he struggled to get free. Soon a loud crack from the glass window caught the attention of the guard followed by Goliath's loud roar. He ran back to see the now glowing dragon. "H-Hey, what are you doing?!" he yelled.
"A-meth-yst !" he growled. "MY AMETHYST!"
At that point, the building began to shake as Goliath's anger rose. The chains that held him started to crack and an enormous amount of energy started building up. The antimagic field was designed to block out magic, but this wasn't magic. It was dragon biology, and it was about to explode like a volcano. Terrified beyond believe, the guard ran away to sound the prisoner escape alarm which placed the whole prison in lockdown. As the guard turn around, he saw that the door to Goliath's cell blew opened. Red aura and black lightning started to fill the room. The guard ran to the elevator and frantically pressed the the button to go up. The door closed and the elevator moved just as an explosion when off. The guard finally made it to the upper floor where he ran out and met up with his comrades. "What's going on?!" one of them yelled.
"IT'S GONNA BLOW!" he yelled back. The floor beneath them started to crack as red aura and black lightning slipped through. The shaking throughout the building started to grow more violent as both inmates and guards ran for cover. Down below, Goliath's anger reached its boiling point, and with the strength of a volcano, the red dragon erupted. A massive explosion of power expelled itself from the prison; destroying nearly all of it. Goliath shot up into the air then took off like a rocket in the direction of Dragonia.
Down below, beneath all the rubble, one of the guards sent out a signal to Canterlot; warning them that Sky Prison has been destroyed and most of the inmates are starting to escape.
****************************
A guard ran through the hallways of the Canterlot Castle until he reached the room where three of his superiors were. The superior guards were tasked with running Canterlot while the princesses were in Baltimare. "What is it?" one of them asked.
"It's happening!" the guard yelled. "An attack on the dragon kingdom is happening!"
"Dammit!" the earith pony superior said. "I knew this was gonna happen. We need to inform the princesses!"
"How? They're all the way in Baltimare!" said the guard.
"I can open up a portal to send you and another guard to Baltimare to warn the princesses." said uincorn the superior. She walked to the middle of the floor as her horn started to glow. With the wave of her hand, a magical circle appeared revealing a beach on the other end. "Go quickly."
"I'll go with you." said the earth pony superior. The two guards jumped through the portal and landed on the beach in Baltimare; the portal closing behind them. It was then they saw that pretty much everything was in ruins; as if a missile had just impacted the entire area moments ago.
"What in Equestria happened here?!" said the guard.
"We must find the princesses." said the superior. The two guards walked through the beach which started to look more and more like a war zone the further they went. There were craters, fires, and half naked mares who were charred up laid moaning in pain on the sand. Most of them were chanting how great somepony named "Sentinel" was. As the guards walked, they came across Prince Blueblood who had just finished fighting off three mares with bombs strapped to their chests. Thankfully, he knocked them out before they could detonate them.
"MY PRINCE!" yelled the guard. Blueblood saw the two guards coming at him and was confused as to why they were there. He'd hoped nothing bad had happened in Canterlot while he and the others were away; like a Changeling invasion or something. On second thought, he hoped it was a Changeling invasion. He still had all this pent up anger he needed to get out of his system, and they would be the perfect target. "My prince, thank goodness we've found you!" said the superior.
"What are you doing here?" he asked. "Did something happened in Canterlot?"
"Not Canterlot, sire, Dragonia!" said the guard. "A group of ponies from the Crystal Empire led by an elderly mare has launched an attack on Dragonia!"
"They did WHAT!?" the prince yelled. "WHO'S LEADING THEM?!"
"We don't know, sire, just that she's a elderly mare from Ponyville." said the guard. At that point, Blueblood's mind went blank as all the possible outcomes of what he was told started to play in his head. The Crystal Ponies invade Dragonia, then Dragonia invades Equestria, and the next thing you know, another "Grand War" will break out between them. The prince was on the verge of a nervous breakdown when he forced himself to ask a question he pretty much knew the answer to.
"T-This elderly mare, you wouldn't happen to know her name, would you?" he asked.
"I don't know for sure." said the guard. "But my cousin who lives in Ponyville calls her "Granny"." And that was it, Blueblood's mental state was gone. The only thing he could see right now, were dragons and ponies clashing in an all out war that would consume both countries; just like it did once before. The sounds and screams of innocent ponies dying all around while calling out for help played in the prince's mind as he slowly turned around and started to make his way towards Celestia and the others. "Gonna die." he whispered. "We're all gonna die. The Grand War is gonna happen again. And we're all gonna die." The guards, worried about Blueblood's well being, followed him.
Not that far away, Celestia and the others were recovering from a major battle they just had when something caught their attention.
*BOOOOOOOOOM*
An extremely loud sonic boom filled the sky and caught everypony off guard. "What was that?" asked Pearl. Everypony looked up and saw something flying through the sky at the speed of a rocket. It was large, red, had wings, and in the shape of a dragon.
"S-Sister, is that......?!" yelled Luna.
"No, it can't be." she said in disbelief.
"Celestia, what is it?" asked Twilight. Before the princess could answer, two royal guards from Canterlot walked up on scene; along with a shocked Blueblood. His body was trembling uncontrollably as he slowly made his way towards AppleJack and Big Mac. Clearly he had received some disturbing news.
"Y-Your g-grandmother." he said; pointing at the two siblings. "Your grandmother!"
"W-What about, Granny?" Applejack asked in a worried tone. Blueblood answered by screaming and making an attempt to launch himself at the two of them only to stopped by the guards. The prince continued to yell as he completely lost him his mind.
"Blueblood, what's going on!" yelled Cadence.
"What's happen to my granny?!" Applejack yelled; almost on the verge of tears.
****************************
"GRANNY!" yelled Applebloom as she ran up to her. "The dragons retreated behind the kingdom gates; they're trapped!"
"Good." she said. "Send word ta Dark Forest. Tell'em ah'll be there soon. Ah wanna talk ta the Dragon Lord."
"What about him?" Applebloom asked as she pointed to the tent White Wing was being held in.
"Don't y'all worry yer little head about him." she reassured. "He's bein' watched. If he tries somethin' we'll know about it. Now, let's go." As Granny Smith and Applebloom proceeded to make their way to the front lines, Applebloom released a pigeon carrying a note to Dark Forest; telling him that they were on their way there. Inside the tent behind them, Prince White Wing, wrapped in chains, struggled to get free with no avail. The chains appeared to glow and tighten up each time he struggled. He figured that the ponies filled them up with some kind of magic so that he couldn't escape. It wasn't long until a light green crystal pony mare entered the tent and saw his feeble attempt to escape.
"Please, you have to let me go." he said. "There's still time to settle this."
"The time for talk is over." she said. "Spike, The Brave and Glorious, will receive proper justice."
"What do you mean "proper justice"?" White Wing asked. "You have Goliath and his crew in your prison don't you?"
"Yea, but your sister, Amethyst, is the main cause of Spike's suffering." she explained. "She made him fall in love with her, then threw him away as if he was nothing. Then allowed Goliath and those other dragons to beat him half to death and leave him out in the rain like he was a pile of trash! And what happens to her? NOTHING!"
"It was decided that she comes home seeing as how she didn't participate in the assault!" the prince argued. "It was argued that she didn't know Goliath would do what he did!"
"Doesn't negate the fact that her actions led to Spike's suffering!" she yelled. "Her actions caused those dragons to invade our land and assault the hero of the Crystal Empire! If the royal family won't bury her underneath the prison where she belongs, then we'll do it!"
****************************
Later that day, Atomsk walked the streets of his kingdom towards the front gate. He had received word from his guards that the ponies wanted to have a word with him, or to be more accurate, that have demands they want him to fulfill. Atomsk was beyond furious. They attack his caravan, they invade his home, they kill his son, humiliate his army, and now they want demands met?! Celestia was going to pay a hundred fold for what she's done. To Tartarus with their last battle. In his mind, it didn't happen. He was going to subject her and all the ponies of Equestria to every single form of torture imaginable before ending them all. Walking through the shopping district, Atomsk was greeted with cheers from his subjects. All of them were telling him to completely annihilate the ponies and show then the true might of Dragonia. And that's exactly what he was going to do. Upon approaching the gate, he ordered two soldiers to open it; which they did. The gate open and the Dragon Lord was looking out at a field filled with 300 ponies equipped with assault weapons, and standing in front of them, was an elderly mare in combat armor; the same elderly mare who attacked his caravan. With a deep growl, Atomsk advanced ahead, and so did she; along with three younger mares.
"It's you!" he yelled.
"Yes, me." said Granny.
"What do you want?" he growled.
"We want Amethyst!" she demanded. "It's time fer her ta pay fer her crimes!"
"And if I refuse?" he asked.
"Then we'll force our way in, and take her by force!" Granny yelled; prompting the Crystal Ponies to yell in agreement. "She can't hide forever!"
"You REALLY think you'll get that FAR!" he yelled. Within seconds, multiple cannons appeared all around the kingdom gates and walls; taking direct aim at the ponies. "Or the fact that i'll let you leave here ALIVE!?" The crystal ponies all took aim at the Dragon Lord; prepared to open fire when the cannons do. "You'll rue the day you crossed me! After I take you out, i'll wipe out all of Equestria! FIRE!"
With the Dragon Lord's command, his soldiers fired all cannons at the Crystal Ponies, who in turn, fired back at them. With explosion starting to fill the field, Atomsk spread his wings and flew back behind the castle gates. "RELOAD THOSE CANNONS FASTER! KEEP FIRING!" The dragons did as they were told; constantly firing volley after volley on the ponies and forcing them to take cover.
"GRAB THE BATTERING RAM!" Granny yelled.
Atomsk looked out into the field was shocked to see that the ponies had a massive battering ram designed to break down the gates. "DESTROY THAT THING!" he ordered. The dragons took aim and fired upon the ram; only for the cannon ball to bounce right off it. "IMPOSSIBLE! KEEP FIRING!" As the dragons continued firing, the crystal ponies got in position. The beam was pulled back before being thrust forward; hitting the gate hard. The impact caused everything to tremble. "WHAT ARE YOU IMBECILES DOING?! DESTROY THAT THING!"
"WE'RE TRYING MY LORD, BUT THE CANNONBALLS ARE BOUNCING RIGHT OFF IT!" yelled a dragon soldier.
"Damn those ponies and their magic!" he growled.
*BAM*
The battering ram once again slammed itself into the kingdom gates; this time leaving a dent in it. One of the dragon soldiers ran over to Atomsk and grabbed him just as the battering ram smashed into the gate once again; even harder this time and almost knocking everyone over. "My lord, we must get you to safety!" he said. "They're about to break through!"
*BAM*
Another powerful slam against the gate with more force caused alarm amongst the dragons. Were the ponies actually about to break through the gate? "My lord, we must go, NOW!" yelled the soldier as he and another pulled Atomsk away. Their plan was to get him into the palace where they had a better chance at protecting him. They didn't have to worry about Amethyst since she had her own specially trained guard to protect her. Much to Atomsk protest, all three dragons flew away from the gate just as the ponies delivered one final blow to it; breaking it down and reducing it to rubble. The Crystal Ponies cheered in victory as they were now one step closer to making sure that justice is served.
"NOW, EVERYPONY, SWITCH TO BAYONETS!" Dark Forest ordered. Everypony instantly stopped what they were doing and looked at him with eyebrows raised. "W-Why is everypony looking at me like that?"
"Do you REALLY think bayonets will hurt dragons?" asked a mare.
"Yeah, we were doing fine with our bullets." said a stallion. "Why switch to knives that'll just break against their scales?"
"YA KNOW, THEY HAVE A POINT!" yelled a dragon from the wall.
"Who's side are you on, dude?" asked another dragon. "Although, it doesn't make much sense to switch to a gun that needs to be reloaded after every shot."
"HEY, YOU COULD PUT A BAYONET ON AN ASSAULT RIFLE!" Dark yelled from below.
"But, why would you want to?!" yelled a mare. "That makes no sense!"
"It makes perfect sense!" Dark argued.
"NO IT DOESN'T!" yelled the dragons. "YOUR BULLETS ALREADY HURT US! WHY SWITCH TO SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T?!"
"ARE Y'ALL REALLY DOIN' THIS RIGHT NOW?!" screamed Granny. "THE GATE IS OPEN! GIT IN THERE AND WRECK SOME SHIT ALREADY!" Everypony stopped the conversation immediately, and proceeded to storm through the gate; entering the kingdom with a massive battlecry. The dragon soldiers clashed with the ponies; not giving them a chance to fire their weapons. The civilians were herded to a safe area as the battle rage. Businesses, homes, as streets were being destroyed as the ponies pushed they're way towards their goal, the castle. A group of ponies broke off from the others as soon as an opening revealed itself; running pass the dragon soldiers, to make their way to the castle only to be stopped by a ten massive cannons that fired upon them.
"DON'T LET THEM ANYWHERE NEAR THE CASTLE!" yelled a soldier. "DEFEND THE ROYAL FAMILY!" Another wave of dragons formed a blockade to prevent the ponies from getting any closer. With huge deep breaths, the dragons unleashed wave after wave of fire from their mouths; forcing the ponies to take cover.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" yelled a mare as she threw a grenade. The small device landed next to the dragons before exploding under them. The dragons were knocked back allowing the ponies to advance further. But before that could happen, they had to somehow deal with a large group of dragons that took to the sky and dropped bombs on top of them. The ponies had no choice but to scatter as massive explosions filled the area. The dragons on the ground leaped through the fire and gave chase as the bombs continued to fall.
****************************
Granny Smith looked through a pair of binoculars from a good distance away and saw that the Crystal Ponies were starting to have trouble fighting the dragons; especially the ones flying around a dropping bombs over their heads. However, in all that chaos, Granny saw that there was a massive opening to get into the castle; and she was going through it. "It's time." she said as she lowered her binoculars.
"What is, Granny?" asked Applebloom.
"It's time fer me ta end this." she answered. "Spike will receive justice.......no matter the cost.
Granny's Theme
Granny dropped her binoculars and went over to a random motorcycle and started it up. Punching the gas, she took off right through the gate and into the battlefield. She drove through the streets at max speed; running over any and all dragons in her path. Nothing was going to her from reaching the castle. It wasn't long before she reached a group of dragons who formed a blockade to stop her. In response, Granny Smith stood up on her motorcycle and leapt high into the air. "COME TO ME, SEBASTIAN!" she yelled as she stuck out her hand. From out of nowhere, a 12 gauge shotgun flew right into her hand just as her body flipped upside down. She took aim at the dragons and opened fire on them; ultimately breaking them apart as she landed on her feet behind them. With nothing standing in her way, the elderly ran towards the castle only to discover that the doors were barricaded shut, but that didn't stop her. Granny took a few steps backwards to give herself a running start, to which she used the momentum she built up to run up the side of the building and crash through a window that brought her into a hallway. It didn't long for her to figure out where the throne room was since it heavily guarded by ten dragons. Granny charged at them; firing her shotgun and heavily damaging their armor. Grabbing one dragon, then smashing his head against another after dislocating the arm and leg of a third, before firing a shot in the face of a fourth, Granny Smith could not, and will not be stopped.
After taking out all of the guards, Granny kicked opened the door and entered the throne room where Atomsk stood with shock and anger. "YOU AGAIN?!" he yelled.
"One shall stand, one shall fall!" Granny announced.
"Why throw away your life so recklessly?!" he asked.
"That's a question y'all and y'all daughter should've asked y'all selves, asshole!" Granny responded.
"NO!" Atomsk yelled. "I WILL NOT LOSE TO A PONY AGAIN!" Both Granny Smith and Atomsk charged at one another until they met in the middle of the room where at the same time, they both threw a punch; their fist colliding with one another which caused a massive shockwave that created a crater where they stood.
****************************
*BOOOOOM*
Applebloom watched in shock as part of the castle looked like it exploded. Unable to just stay on the sidelines, she dropped her binoculars and started to run towards the gate. "Applebloom, where are you going?!" yelled Sweetie Belle.
"I gotta help Granny!" she answered.
"NOOOOOO!" Dark Forest screamed as he took aim.
*BANG*
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" Applebloom screamed as she fell to the ground grabbing her leg.
"YOU SHOT HER!" screamed Scootaloo. "YOU SHOT APPLEBLOOM!"
"I had to." he defended. "Anypony who understands what's happening right now will understand."
"WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING TALKING ABOUT?!" Sweetie Belle screamed.
"You're too young to know of what happened that day." he said. "It was the worst day of everypony's life. And it was all because one individual acted as if he was helping."
*BANG*
Dark Forest fell to the ground screaming in pain. Scootaloo had grabbed his hand gun and shot him in the leg as revenge for shooting her friend. Both she and Sweetie Belle ran over to Applebloom before bringing her back to camp for medical treatment.
****************************
Atomsk and Granny crashed through the wall and landed out on the street. The dragon lord rose to his feet and grabbed the elderly mare by the mane and threw her towards a building. However, Granny counter this move by planting herself onto the building; sticking to it like a spider. She slowly rose her head and saw the shocked look on the Dragon Lord's face before launching herself off the building; grabbing Atomsk by the face, and slamming him into the ground. She raised her hand in the air and called forth her shotgun which flew into her hand. Before she could get a shot off, Atomsk got up and charged at her; grabbing her and tackling her through three buildings before she got the upper hand and flipped him over her head. Atomsk landed on his back hard, but quickly rose to his feet only to come face to face with Granny's gun.
*BANG*
Granny pulled the trigger; shooting the Dragon Lord in the face and sending him flying off. Atomsk landed on the ground a few feet from her. As he started to get up, a grenade landed in front of him and exploded; sending him backwards even further. Raising his head, he saw Granny run through the smoke with her fist coming at him. The Dragon Lord quickly blocked it and threw her over his shoulder where she landed on her feet behind him. It was then he noticed that she was unarmed. "Where's that damn......ARRGH!" he yelled in pain. Granny's shotgun flew through the smoke and hit Atomsk upside his head before landing in Granny's hand. The elderly mare took aim and fire at the Dragon Lord's feet; tripping him up.
"Surrender." she demanded.
"You damn ponies." Atomsk growled as he started to rise up to his feet. "You invade my land, kill my son, destroy my kingdom, and you expect me to surrender to you?!"
"Yer son ain't dead." Granny replied. "He's back at our camp, safe and sound."
"H-He's what?" Atomsk asked in disbelief.
"How else were we gonna git'cha outside?" she said with a smirk.
"What are you......" he started before reality hit him it like a ton of bricks. "YOU! You were distracting me weren't you?!
"Look who just caught on." Granny said with a laugh. "Right now, mah stallions are storming the castle are about ta git that Amethyst bitch. We'll take her back ta Equestria where she'll face a proper trial."
"All this for that pathetic excuse of a dragon?!" he growled in anger.
"Watch yer tongue!" Granny snapped. "That's mah grandson yer talkin bout!"
"This will not go unnoticed." he warned. "Your actions will cause another "Grand War" between Dragonia and Equestria."
"And we'll kick yer asses just like we did in the last one." she countered.
"You won't live to see it!" he roared as he charged. Granny took this time to once again open fire on the Dragon Lord; hitting him in the right leg and causing him to roar out in pain as he fell to his left knee. Lifting his head, he Granny running up to him at full speed; delivering a massive uppercut that caused his body to go up in the air. Granny took this time to grab his leg, flip him over her shoulder, and throw him into a pole; face first. The impact caused the pole to break in half, which Atomsk grabbed when he stood up. Turning around, he prepared to swing it at Granny, but the elderly mare fired a shot from her shotgun; breaking the pole in half. With his attention preoccupied for a second, the elderly mare ran up to the Dragon Lord, grabbed him by the face, and slammed him into the ground. She then proceeded to run with him; dragging his face along the ground before throwing him through a building. "If that's all y'all, then ah'ma be disappointed." she taunted. "Come on, Dragon Lord, show me what y'all got!" With a powerful roar, Atomsk burst through the building and charged at Granny, only to be shot in the face by her gun.
****************************
Three crystal pony stallions ran through the hallways of the castle; searching each room they came across as they looked for Amethyst. "We can't stop, keep searching!" ordered one of the stallions. "We're so close to finding her!" The stallions continued searching until one of them saw something move in the distance. Whatever it was, it appeared to have entered a room. The stallion pointed it out to the others and all three of them headed towards where he saw them. They opened up the massive door in front of them and found themselves in what they figured was the ballroom. There they saw two dragons, one male, the other female, in the middle of the room with the male dragon taking a protective stance in from of her. "You there!" called the first stallion. "You're Amethyst, aren't you?! I'm afraid you'll have to come with us."
"What do you want with Princess Amethyst?!" Scourge asked as he drew his sword. Amethyst was sure a fight would break out after seeing Scourge grip his sword tight as the three stallions started to slowly approach them. It was his duty to protect the Amethyst no matter what. Scourge started to wonder what his relationship with her was going to be like from now on. They DID just spend two hours having sex in her room after all, and with Goliath forever locked up in a pony prison, does that mean that she's given up on ever being with him again? Yes, that had to be true, otherwise, she never would've given herself to him like that. So does that mean she wants to be with him? Scourge was snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Amethyst's breasts against his back. "Don't let them take me." she begged.
"I won't." he growled as he gripped his sword. The second and third stallion readied their weapons and took aim.
"Give her to us!" the first stallion demanded.
"Not on your life!" Sourge yelled before he charged at them. The two stallions opened fire on the dragon soldier who used his sword to cut through and deflect their bullets. Grabbing the second stallion, Scourge threw him into the first before turning his attention to the third. The third stallion pointed his gun at Scourge who quickly grabbed it and snapped it in half. Making a fist, he punched the third stallion; sending him flying into the wall across the room. At that point, he was struck from behind by the second stallion who used the back end of his rifle to hit him. That proved to be a wasted effort since Scourge turned around, with sword in claw, and sliced the rifle in two pieces. The first stallion quickly got up and tackled his friend to the ground just as Scourge blew a massive breath of fire at them. He soon grabbed the leg of the first stallion and tossed him high into the air. After that, he kicked the second stallion in the face; sending flying across the room just as the first stallion hit the floor hard. With all three ponies incapacitated, Scourge made his way to Amethyst who was impressed with his fighting skills. "We need to get you outta here." he said. With a nod, the two dragons headed towards the back end of the ballroom. The third stallion who was handled earlier into the fight, recovered just enough to start following them.
The ballroom backdoor led Amethyst and Scourge to the outdoor courtyard; the loud sounds of explosions and gunfire filled the sky as the major battle raged on. Scourge quickly scanned the area and saw the gardener's shed a few feet away from them. Thinking that would be the best place to hide Amethyst for the time being, he grabbed the princess and ran with her towards it. The pair ran inside and shut the door just as the stallion exited the building. He looked around for a while before running off in an opposite direction; believing that's where they might have gone.
It was hot inside the shed, but they had to tough it out; at least for a little while. "I never knew you could fight like that." Amethyst spoke up.
"Yeah, self trained, if you could believe that." Sourge said bashfully as he rubbed the back of his head. Amethyst slowly walked up to him giving him a sultry look.
"Well it looks like my father made the right decision in making you my personal guard." she said as she pressed herself against him. Scourge could feel his desires start to build up again as Amethyst pushed him up against the wall. Scourge was sure of two things right now. The first was that Amethyst wanted another go around, and the second was that it was clear that she wanted to be with him now; especially since Goliath was now no longer in the picture. As Amethyst started to rub herself on Scourge, she began to wonder what was taking Goliath so long to get here. She was sure that by sleeping with another dragon, it would trigger his cycle and he'd come flying back. Maybe he was on his way right now and it's just taking a while for him to get here because of how far away he was. It least, that's what she'd hoped was the reason. Scourge is a good dragon, a capable fighter, and not bad in bed either. He would definitely make a dragoness happy someday, but he wasn't the one she wanted. She could only hope that he didn't take things the wrong way and think that she wanted him or anything. What they had earlier was just sex. Nothing more, nothing less. It was just a way for her to get Goliath to come back and wreak havoc on the ponies for killing her brother, so the least she could do for Scourge is make sure Goliath doesn't kill him in his rage.
Amethyst push herself off Scourge leaving the poor dragon a bit confused as to why she stopped. "It's getting kinda hot in here." she said. "Maybe we should get out of here."
"Y-Yeah." he said. Going over to the door, Scourge poked his head out scanned the area. Once the coast was clear, he grabbed Amethyst and walked out the shed with her. The loud sounds of explosions and gunfire somehow seemed to have gotten louder; as if they were coming closer and closer to where they were.
"THERE SHE IS!" yelled a pony. Both Scourge and Amethyst saw a group of angry ponies running towards them. With no time to spare, the two dragons began to runaway as fast as they could with the ponies gaining on them. As they ran, Scourge thought about flying away with Amethyst, but that was quickly shot down when he noticed a group of pegasi above them. If they took to the sky now, they'd be caught in no time. It was wasn't long before they ran into a dead end with no way to escape. Pulling Amethyst behind him, Scourge readied himself for a fight. "GET'EM!" yelled a pony. The ponies on the ground as well as the ones in the air all charged at the two dragons. Scourge let out a powerful battle cry as he charged the ponies in an effort to protect the princess.
Just then, there was a powerful roar that caused the ground to tremble.
*BOOOOOM!*
Everypony stopped in the tracks and turned to look behind them to see a red dragon with red aura and black lightning surrounding his body. A look of pure rage was written on his face.
****************************
Atomsk and Granny stood in the middle of a destroyed area; both panting heavily as they prepared for a second go around. After figuring out that she was simply a distraction, the Dragon Lord tried his best to attempt to reach his daughter, but at every turn, this old mare stopped him. "How?" he thought. "How could and elderly mare keep up with a Dragon Lord? I am the pillar of power and strength! I refuse to lose to a bunch of insignificant horses!" Atomsk released a powerful roar, only to be stopped when Granny delivered a might punch to his gut. The Dragon Lord fell to his knees in pain; clutching his stomach as he gasped for breath. Granny grabbed him by the neck and was about to deliver a another blow when the two of them saw something red flying through the sky and landed somewhere in the kingdom with a mighty boom.
It was then, that a smile soon appeared on the Dragon Lord's face before he blew up in extreme laughter. "What are you laughing about?" Granny asked.
"It's all over for you ponies." he said. " He's finally returned!"
"Who has? Answer me!" she demanded.
"My future son in law, GOLIATH!" he answered. Granny knew that name. It was the name of the dragon who attacked her precious grandson. The same dragon who's supposed to be in prison right now. A dark smile soon appeared on Granny's face as she released the Dragon Lord from her grasp; leaving him with a puzzled look on his face.
"Perfect." she said. Granny stuck out her hand; calling her shotgun into it. She turned away from the Dragon Lord and proceeded to make her way to where Goliath landed.
"Where are you going?!" Atomsk growled.
"Ah gotta date with a dead dragon." she mused.
****************************
"AMETHYST!" Goliath roared.
The ponies all aimed and opened fire on the red dragon who charged at them. Goliath was so full of rage that their bullets had absolutely no effect on him as he bulldozed through with super hard punches and kicks; sending each one he hit flying off. The Pegasi in the air all dove down at him only to get completely clobbered. Some of which he grabbed by the wings and smashed them on the ground over and over until it made a crater. Three more ponies made an attempt to grab him from behind, but that plan failed when he roundhoused kicked all three of them into oblivion. Another pony jumped on his back and attempted to put him in a sleeper hold while five more tried to wrestle him to the ground. It appeared to work, but then he unloaded a wave of red energy and blew everypony away.
With everypony on the ground, Goliath was about to make his way to Amethyst when suddenly the loud sound of a shotgun caught his attention. Granny Smith walked on scene with shotgun in hand and a look of determination on her face. "Yer him, ain't ya?" she asked. "The one who attacked mah grandson."
"You want some too?" he growled.
Granny dropped her shotgun. She wasn't going to need it for the ass kicking she was about to give him. Goliath laughed as Granny took a fighting stance. She wasn't serious, was she?
*POW*
Apparently, she was. It all happened so fast. Granny launched herself at the red dragon and delivered a powerful punch that sent him flying into the castle. She turned to face both Scourge and Amethyst who had shocked looks on their faces. "Ah'll be back for y'all." she said before she launched herself through the hole the Goliath's body made. Once inside the castle, she found herself in the hallway. She looked around for any signs of the red dragon, but found nothing.
"Where are y'all?" she thought as she proceeded to walk down the hallway. Granny was cautious when walking down the hallway. She was sure that at any point in time, Goliath would strike. Which he did. Goliath burst through the wall and grabbed Granny by the neck. He then ran with her at full speed; running her face against the wall before slamming her onto the floor. Granny counter by grabbing his arm, standing up, and flipping him over her shoulder. Goliath managed to flip his body around so that he landed on his feet, however, once he turned to face the elderly mare, she had ran, grabbed him, and ran with him the end of the hallway; crashing through the wall and ending up outside with Goliath landing on his back and Granny on top of him. The elderly mare proceeded to deliver hard punches to the dragon's face. One after another, with each one becoming harder and harder as she went on.
Eventually, Goliath managed to make a fist and punch Granny off him. With eyes glowing with rage, Goliath leapt up, grabbed Granny by the leg, and started swinging her around like a rag doll; smashing her into any and everything he could before finally slamming her to the ground. With Granny laying motionless on the ground, Goliath turned away from her only to be stopped in his tracks when he heard laughter. He turned back around to see the elderly mare rise up to her feet. "W-What.....what are you?" he growled.
"PISSED OFF!" Granny replied as she launched herself at the red dragon once again.
****************************
Atomsk could barely walk; let alone stand up straight. That last punch from Granny really did a number on him. "T-This is fucking ridiculous." he growled. "H-How could I, a Dragon Lord, be getting o-one upped.....b-by a pony; an o-old one at that?!"
"Serves you right, Uncle." came a voice.
The Dragon Lord slowly lifted his head and saw a yellow dragon with red scales. "Dragonius." he growled. "What are you doing here?"
"Watching you get your ass kicked by an elderly mare." he laughed.
"You think this is FUNNY?!" yelled Atomsk.
"Well considering that this is all yours and Amethyst's fault, i'd say, yes it is." Dragonius answered.
"How is this OUR fault?" Atomsk demanded.
"Well, let's see. First, Amethyst goes to Equestria and tricks a dragon, who happens to be the hero of the Crystal Empire and the adopted son of Princess Celestia, to fall for her just to make Goliath jealous because he wasn't paying enough attention to her." he explained. "Then Goliath and his goons travel to Equestria and assault said dragon; planting the seeds for all of THIS to eventually happen. You then proceed to blame Celestia for not raising him right which resulted in you getting your ass kicked, and Amethyst coming home with no repercussion what-so-ever."
"What are you talking about?" he asked. "Goliath was sent to their prison for what he did. Amethyst lost her lover."
"You really believe that would satisfy the citizens of Equestria?" Dragonius argued. "They all believe that Amethyst should be in a cell for what she caused. It was her lie that led to what happened to that dragon; to what's happening now! All of this is because of her!"
"No." Atomsk growled. "It's because of that worthless dragon. Had he not courted my daughter, who was already mated, then none of this would be happening right now, and I wouldn't be living with the shame of having lost to a PONY!"
"That's not the only thing you'll be living with." Dragonius added.
"What are you talk........" Atomsk started.
*BOOOOOM*
Crashing through a building and landing on scene was Goliath and Granny. The elderly mare grabbed the red dragon by the neck and punched him into the ground. Both were battered and bruised, but neither was going to give up this fight. Goliath rose to his feet, grabbed Granny from behind, and suplexed her onto a concrete rock. This didn't affect the elderly mare at all since almost immediately she grabbed that same concrete rock and broke it over Goliath's head.
While the two of them fought, Scourge and Amethyst came from around a corner and onto the scene. "GOLIATH!" Amethyst screamed as she watched her now bloodied lover struggle to stand. Granny Smith took this time wrap her arms around the red dragon. "Y'all fucked with the wrong grandma!" she yelled as she suplex him onto the ground. Rising to her feet, Granny kicked him so hard that he flipped over on his stomach. She placed one foot on his back and grabbed his wings. "Give me y'all wings." she said as she pulled. Goliath released an ear piercing roar as the elderly mare ripped his wings off. The pain Goliath was feeling was unlike anything he could imagine. With a single kick from Granny, the red dragon was flipped onto his back with the barrel of her shotgun now in his mouth. "Ah rise, y'all fall." she said as she prepared to fire. Atomsk tried to make his way over to them, but he fell to his knees due to his injury. Amethyst watched in horror as her lover was about to be killed right in front of her. Unable to watch anymore, she ran out to Goliath's side and pushed Granny off him. She kneeled down and held the bloodied and beaten dragon in her arms.
Scourge watched in utter disbelief as he witness Amethyst holding Goliath. All his thoughts of her wanting to be with him were just dashed and burned to ashes. As he watched them, he began to realize that the sole reason she slept with him in the first place, was to trigger Goliath's cycle so that he'd come running back to her. This explains why she didn't let him mark her during sex, because she knew that during this time, Goliath would slip into a massive blood rage and go after the one who violated his mate. That meant she was willing to sacrifice him in order to have her lover back. Scourge dropped his weapon as it became apparently clear that she was just using him. Using him the same way she used that other dragon from Equestria. Amethyst doesn't care about anyone but herself. As long as she gets what she wants, she doesn't care who she hurts in the process. With his head lowered, the poor, brave dragon soldier turned around and walked away.
Dragonius looked over at Scourge and gave him a sympathetic look. It was clear that he was yet another victim of Amethyst's selfishness.
Granny started to make her way towards Amethyst; sticking out her hand and calling forth her shotgun. After it flew into her hand, the elderly mare took aim at the two dragons. "P-Please." Amethyst begged. "Have mercy."
"Y'all......who are without mercy, now plead for it?" she growled. "Where was all that mercy when y'all set mah grandson up ta be attacked?"
"Your grandson?" she asked. "I never dated a pony."
"Your right, you haven't." Dragonius spoke up. "But you DID date a dragon. You know, a certain dragon you used to make Goliath jealous." Images of Spike started to fill her mind. She remembered everything that happened the night Spike was attack by Goliath and his friends.
"But.....but, I had no idea that Goliath would've shown up that night." she defended.
"But y'all DID know that eventually he would find out you seeing Spike, right?" Granny argued. "Mah grandson still would've had his heart torn to shreds because of you!"
"NO! PLEASE!" Amethyst yelled as Granny prepared to fire. At that point, red aura surrounded Goliath and he shot up with a mighty roar. Turning to Granny, he launched himself at her, only to receive a shotgun blast to the face. Goliath fell face first into the ground; knocked out cold from the bullet.
"GOLIATH!" Amethyst screamed.
"Relax, he'll be fine." Granny said before turning her attention towards the dragoness. "Now, git yer ass up, we're goin' back ta Equestria."
"You're not taking my daughter anywhere!" roared Atomsk.
With a heavy sigh, Granny pointed her shotgun at the Dragon Lord and fired; hitting him in the leg. Amethyst watched in horror as her father fell to one knee. It was then she realized that Scourge wasn't doing a thing to help her. She looked around and saw no signs of him.
"If you're looking for your guard, don't bother, cousin." Dragonius said as he walked up to her. "He left. He had the look of a dragon who's heart was just destroyed. Let me guess, you worked your "charm" on him, and slept with him just to get Goliath back; knowing what time of the year it is and what would happen if he'd found out."
"I wouldn't have let Goliath hurt him." she defended.
"Just like how you didn't let him hurt Spike?!" granny countered.
"All of this is a result of your actions, Amethyst, and his." Dragonius said; looking over at his uncle. Amethyst looked around and took in all the destruction that was around them. All of the damaged homes, businesses, and livestock shook her to her very core. All of this because she used Spike for her own gains, and now she's done the exact same thing to Scourge; potentially putting HIS life in danger just so that when Goliath came back, she could use him to exact revenge on the ponies for what they did to her brother. "And on top of that, we're now facing another "Grand War" with Equestria." Dragonius continued. "I hope it was worth it."
For the first time in her life, Amethyst was remorseful. Tears started to stream down her face as she finally realized the full extent of the damaged she'd caused to so many around her. "I-I'm sorry." she softly. "I'm so sorry."
"N-No. Y-You have n-nothing to be s-sorry about." Atomsk groaned. "I-It's these p-ponies' fault. T-They're t-the ones w-who failed to r-raise a dragon the r-right way."
"Y'all still talkin' shit?" Granny said as she aimed at the Dragon Lord once again.
"Hold on." Dragonius stopped her. "There's no need to shoot him again. Let's put an end to all of this before anymore gets hurt."
"After all we went through ta git ta her, y'all think we're leavin' empty handed?" Granny said sternly; looking at Amethyst.
"You're not." Dragonius reassured. "You'll be taking Goliath back to serve out the rest of his sentence, and we'll figure out a suitable punishment for Amethyst and my uncle. Don't worry, your "grandson" will get the justice he deserves."
"W-Who is t-this "we'll" you're t-talking about?" Atomsk asked.
"My father and sister are on the way here right now." Dragonius answered. "And neither them, the council, or the rest of the citizens of Dragonia are happy with the way you've been running things as of the past 100 years."
As Granny Smith looked at Dragonius, something told her that she could trust him. He clearly didn't approve of what Amethyst had done and most likely thought of a punishment for her although she felt hers would've been better. "Fine, ah'll accept yer offer." Granny said with a heavy sigh. "And we'll give y'all back this one's brother." A gasp came from Amethyst after she heard Granny's statement. White Wing was still alive. "So what'll happen ta that bastard over there?" Granny pointed at Atomsk.
"Hard to say, most likely, he'll be removed from his position as Dragon Lord." Dragonius explained.
"WHAT?!" Atmosk yelled. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I AM THE PILLAR OF STRENGTH AND POWER; EVERYTHING A DRAGON LORD SHOULD BE!"
"And yet you got your ass kicked by an elderly mare, the Princess of Equestria, and a unicorn wizard." Dragonius countered. "The only reason you became Dragon Lord in the first place, was because you were the first born. That doesn't mean you were qualified, uncle."
"So you think HE'S more qualified than me?!" Atomsk yelled.
"Though my father can be proud at times, he never lets his ego cloud his judgement like you do, uncle." Dragonius countered. "He'd never put his subjects in harm's way like you just did!"
"Damn you, brother." Atomsk grumbled as he dug his claws into the ground.
****************************
The fighting had finally stopped and both sides laid down their arms. Dragonius announced that he understood why they were doing what they were doing, but there's a right way to go about this, and the deal that was made between the royal family and the Dragon Lord WAS the right way; even though he also understood why they didn't like it. From here on out, this matter will be settled peacefully among the council and the ponies should return to Equestria. No word of this will be spoken to the princesses as neither of the dragons want another "Grand War" with them. Dragonius wasn't sure how he was going to cover this up, as he figured that word of this incident had reached Celestia by now.
The ponies were reluctant to leave, but decided to do so anyway; some of them believing that Amethyst was getting off again. One by one, all 300 ponies left the kingdom. Leaving with them, was Goliath; wrapped in chains and still unconscious as he was being carried out. On the way back to the Kingdom, was White Wing. Granny had sent work to the campsite the he was to be released immediately. The ponies who were stationed there to guard him as well as the CMC believed they had been victorious when they freed him; unknowing of the disappointing news that was about to come their way.
White Wing landed in the kingdom square, or at least what remained of it, when he was greeted by his cousin. "I see they didn't hurt you." Dragonius said.
"I don't believe they were ever going to hurt me." White Wing admitted. "I think they just wanted my sister. Speaking of which, where is she.......and my father?"
"Come cousin, there's much we need to talk about." Dragonius said as he and White Wing started to make their way inside the castle.
****************************
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!" Granny screamed as she saw an injured Applebloom in a wheelchair with her leg bandaged up.
"He shot me." she said. "Dark Forest shot me."
Granny's anger was renewed 1000 fold as she turned towards the crystal pony.
"N-Now Granny, I know this look bad, but trust me, I had good intentions." he tried to defend himself. His words fell on deaf ears and all that could be heard was his extremely loud screaming as Granny fired upon him. When she was done, Dark's non responsive body was thrown in back of a cart along with Goliath. As they started to make their way towards the border back into Equestria, Scootaloo approached Granny. "So that's it?" she asked. "We're leaving just like that?"
"Don't y'all worry none, Scootaloo." Granny reassured. "We'll be seein' them again soon enough. Count on it." A dark smile appeared on the elderly mare's face; as if she was anticipating some kind of retaliation from the Dragon Lord. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were confused as to why she was smiling like that While Applebloom had a an extremely worried look on her face. It wasn't about Granny, it was something totally different.
"How am ah gonna explain this to Applejack?" she thought; looking at her shot leg. "Or mah parents fer that matter."

In an abandon cave in the middle of a forest, sat a light blue, orange mane unicorn stallion next to a small bonfire with the look of somepony who was ready to commit murder. "I lost Twilight because of you." he growled. "You took away what was mine. I'll take her back; by force if necessary. Then, you dirty, worthless lizard, i'll make sure you never get between us again. I'll end you."
