Avengers: War for Equestria

Back at S.M.I.L.E. headquarters, the laid up Flash Magnus, Wade Wilson, Scott Lang were nearing the end of their recovery period. The news that Arabus had launched an attack had sent the organization into a frenzy. The noise had caused Flash Magnus to open his eyes and squirm in pain.

"What…what…what happened?" he gasped, realizing that he had been laid up in a hospital bed. "How…how did I get here?"

"You were brought here," replied Spitfire, looking over at him. "Along with the rest of us."

"But, the Pegasus fighters…"

"20 dead, the rest ran away," finished Soarin'. "You've been in a medically induced coma for a few hours."

Flash couldn't believe what he heard and cursed under his breath.

"Like they said," remarked Wade, catching Flash's attention. "You should be lucky you're alive, flying boy. If you had the strength…"

"Oh, shut up, anthropoid!" grunted Spitfire in an annoyed voice, not wanting to hear any more of his remarks.

"Yeah, I agree with hothead here," added Scott, groaning in annoyance. "You know, my ex-wife's new husband is more annoying than you."

"Whatever," Wade shot back. "You know, maybe prison serves you well."

"Who are you to say that I should…?"

"ENOUGH!" screamed the green skinned creature, suddenly rising herself up and turning around to face her bed reddened guests. "Enough."

A hushed silence fell on the ward as the humanoid creature suddenly woke up and miraculously climbed out of bed, standing on her own two feet.

"You can't even be placed in a coma and hear constant bickering," she hissed. "What is this place?"

"You're…you're in a medical ward," stammered Spitfire, suddenly taken aback by her. But, the creature looked around trying to find someone or something else.

"Where's Peter?" she asked.

"You mean, Star Dude or whatever his name is?" asked Wade. "He's gone joyriding after some wind demon or living storm."

The creature became distressed and turned around to leave the ward.

"You must be Gamora," called Scott and the creature stopped right where she was. "One of the Guardians of the Galaxy. We've heard a lot about you in such short time. Name's Scott Lang, by the way."

Rather than stay and listen to her fellow bedmates, Gamora ran out of the ward and caught the attention of several scientists as she left. Despite their pleas to get her to stop, Gamora managed to quickly leave the base.

No sooner did she leave the ward did a mismatched creature appear out of nowhere in a white flash, dressed in a white doctor's coat and holding what appeared to be some kind of strange medicine.

"Well, I suppose my little medication works after all," he said, turning back towards the others.

"Excuse me, Discord, but what are you doing here?" asked Spitfire, indignantly.

"Why, I'm here to get you all back on your feet or hooves or whatever you call them," he replied, snapping his fingers and magically getting them all out of their beds. "One of the advantages of being a creature of chaos is that you have the power to do almost anything. Besides, I don't think your mommy would like to see you hurt, Spitfire."

It took a few moments for them all to realize that they had been magically healed by Discord's magic.

"Speaking of which, where is Rainbow Dash? Isn't she supposed to be with you all or something?"

"She left to be with Twilight and her friends," answered Soarin'. "You know we lost 20 of our best fighting Arabus."

"That big blowhard?" Discord said, transforming into a storm cloud. "Why he hasn't been around since the peak of my reign. He always did have an attitude though."

At that moment, the sounds of footfalls came racing towards the ward and Fury Swipes arrived on the scene, letting out a sharp gasp upon seeing Discord.

"Discord, the spirit of chaos?" he gasped, gazing wide eyed at him.. "Since when…"

"I just thought I give a little help to the walking or flying wounded here," he remarked, suddenly turning from humorous to serious. "But, all joking aside, I got these strange movements going through my body that something big is about to happen."

"And I assume its something you can't just snap your claws and make all right again, right?" remarked Fury. "Come on, Discord, I know what you're trying to say. You know of Grogar, don't you?"

"Yes," answered Discord, seriously, glancing over at Fury. "And there's a certain magic draining centaur that I need to teach a lesson to."

Spitfire and Soarin' looked nervously at each other, for they knew just exactly what Discord was talking about.

…

Back at Twilight's castle, the Guardians and Dr. Strange returned to be treated for their injuries they had sustained during the fight.

"Look darling," said Rarity, who was working on cleaning Dr. Strange's cuts on his face with a warm wash cloth in one of the many guest rooms in Twilight's castle. "I know it isn't the classiest application, but…"

"Ow!" winced Dr. Strange as Rarity applied the cloth to his cheek. "At least it helps. Wish I can say the same for the others…"

A series of loud screams came from down the hall, most of them coming from Peter.

"…perhaps I spoke too soon," sighed Dr. Strange and at that moment, Sunset came into the guestroom with Groot.

"I am Groot."

"Is that all he says?" wondered Rarity. "I mean, for a talking plant, he's…"

"Unique," Sunset interrupted, trying to sympathize with him. "Just unique. But, at least we're still alive, even though part of me thinks it was pointless for Arabus to attack outside of Canterlot."

"That's because he was only proving his worth," explained Dr. Strange, who managed to produce an orb that showed Arabus joining forces with Grogar and the other villains of Equestria standing over the dead bodies of the princesses. "Arabus is among the group of enemies of Equestria that is looking to revamp it into their own vision. But, in order to do that, they wish to seek the Elements of Harmony."

Sunset's eyes widened in amazement, but was still somewhat confused by the plot.

"But, I don't understand," she stammered. "Why would they want to obtain the Elements of Harmony? Twilight says that they are…"

Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted by a series of yells coming from downstairs. Racing downstairs, Sunset, Groot, Rarity and Dr. Strange were suddenly confronted by Sunset's friends from the human world, who were being held at bay by Tempest and Grubber.

"Silence!" Tempest barked, her broken horn glowing at the six human girls. "Who are you and what do you want?"

"Don't hurt them!" Sunset cried, causing Tempest to turn around and face her. "They're…my friends, from the other world."

"So you say?" sighed Tempest, lowering her defenses. "Then, I assume you don't mean no harm?"

"No, we don't mean any harm," cried Sci-Twi. "We came because our friend was brought here."

"More in a sense I was recruited," replied Sunset, who suddenly activated her geode, transforming her from pony to human. This caused her friends to run over and hug Sunset tightly. "But, we don't have a lot of time for reunions. We need to brief you on what has been happening here in Equestria."

…

Meanwhile, Arabus floated around Tambeleon trying to search for Grogar, but his search didn't go on for very long as he neared Grogar's castle.

"You must Arabus, the wind demon," said Lieutenant Bray, walking over to him. "My emperor is expecting you."

"Show me to him," replied Arabus and before Bray could begin searching, Grogar, Tirek, Sombra and the tank bearing Squirk approached them. The four villains chuckled at the presence of the wind demon. "Then again, that won't be necessary."

"So, at last we meet," chuckled Grogar, his eyes locked on Arabus as they walked over to him. "Welcome to our ranks, fierce creature of the winds."

Arabus smiled as the four villains welcomed him into their ranks.

…

Elsewhere, Chrysalis retreated to a secluded part of Tambeleon and was contemplating on whether to leave and strike back out on her own.

"If I joined forces with them," she thought to herself, pacing back and forth in a small house. "Then, what would be in it for me? He doesn't have my best interests in heart. All I want is my hive back, not take part in a twisted plot to conquer Equestria. If I conquer Equestria, it will be on my own terms, not theirs!"

However, Chrysalis began to give herself an idea. She noticed a small dagger on a table and began to ponder the possibilities of having Grogar eliminated.

"Unless," she chuckled to herself as she walked towards the dagger. "Emperor Grogar were to suffer an unfortunate accident thanks to me. Eliminate Grogar and I take over the conquest of Equestria."

And Chrysalis laughed evilly as her own twisted plan began to take shape…
