Chapter 27: "Regrouping at Twilight's Castle"

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

With the arrival of her friends from the human world, Sunset led them over to Twilight's throne room where Celestia and Luna were already gathered with Tony, Julia and Peter along with Steve and his faction.

"So, these must be your friends, Sunset," Celestia said, walking over towards Sunset and the human six. "I'm Princess Celestia."

This was the signal for them to show respect to Celestia, who couldn't help but chuckle at what she was witnessing.

"It's an honor to meet you," said Sci-Twi, who bowed to Celestia along with the rest of her fellow humans.

"You can rise," chuckled Celestia, motioning for them to rise. "There really isn't any need for you to show me that kind of respect."

"But aren't you royalty?" asked Human Fluttershy.

"Yes, but it gets me down a little," answered Celestia, leading them towards the map. "However, your assistance in the defense of Equestria is greatly appreciated at this time."

"You name the game, we're there!" said Human Rainbow Dash, excitedly.

Leading them to the map, Celestia motioned for them to look down and see all of the lands that made up the land of Equestria.

"This is the map of Equestria," added Luna. "A map of a land that is a great risk of being conquered and if Equestria is conquered, then your world will be at risk too."

A series of gasps fell among the human six upon hearing this, realizing that they all came to Equestria for the purpose of defending not just Equestria, but their homeland as well.

"So, you all see what's at stake here," added Tony, putting his Iron Man helmet down on the map. "By the way, I'm pretty sure you know who I am don't you?"

"Of course we do!" laughed Human Pinkie Pie. "You're some dude in armor."

"Oh, Pinkie, honestly!' remarked Human Rarity, elbowing her friend in the side. "This is Tony Stark, the head of Stark Enterprises."

"Make that CEO. However, I'm specifically fighting on behalf of the Avengers. As Iron Man, it's my sworn duty to protect the planet from Global and non-Global threats. In this case, its not only a Global threat that we have to worry about…"

"It's a threat from a gang of monsters," interrupted Peter. "I mean, you can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider Man if there is no neighborhood."

This caused Tony and Julia to look over at him in an awkward manner.

"Um, yes," Tony stammered. "This is Peter Parker, otherwise known as Spider Man."

"Ahem, if we can get back to the matter at hand," coughed Luna, regaining the attention of everyone in the room. "Our intelligence has confirmed that the nine circles of death are planning to obtain the Elements of Harmony from the Tree of Harmony."

To prove what she was talking about, Luna activated a spell that produced a hologram of the Tree of Harmony with the Elements attached to them.

"Why would they go after the Elements?" wondered Sunset.

"Because of this," replied Celestia, producing a picture of the Chaos Gauntlet. "The Chaos Gauntlet, a weapon that can only work with the Elements themselves. If the Elements are used to power the Gauntlet, it can have the power to either capture or destroy half of life in both worlds."

"Half of life?!" cried Sci-Twi. "You mean…half of all life is at risk?!"

A silent nod from the two sisters confirmed that what they were saying was indeed true.

"So we all need to work together to prevent this from happening," added Julia, leaning on the map. "If you have families in your world, joining our cause will give you the chance to protect your families from harm. I have a daughter to protect and nothing would mean more to me than to go home to her at night."

As Julia spoke, Tony couldn't help but feel sorry for his girlfriend. At the same time, he was beginning to think that soon would be the time that he would ask the ultimate question to her.

"Well, you can count on us," said Human Rainbow Dash. "What do you want us to do, Princesses?"

"For starters," said Steve, putting in his input on the matter. "We need to make sure all of Equestria is covered at all times. Every town, every city on this map needs to be covered."

"We could do that," suggested Dr. Strange. "But, what if the Elements are unprotected, Captain? Someone needs to guard the area surrounding the tree of harmony."

"I think Doc here has a point," remarked Tony. "It's apparent that the Nine Circles are going after the tree itself and if we have a sizeable defense, we could succeed in holding them back. But, it doesn't mean that we can't protect every town and every city in Equestria. Most likely, they'll be having a sizeable army at their disposal."

"We can hold off the army, me and my faction."

"But you won't be doing it alone," advised Celestia. "As we speak, T'Challa has requested that an army from Wakanda be brought here to Equestria to aid us in our cause. Furthermore, he has also evacuated his country's embassy."

Hearing this gave the human six a very strong indication of how serious the threat was. At that moment, Tempest stepped into the throne room and had Gamora at her side.

"What is it, Fizzlepop?" asked Celestia as she and everyone looked at Tempest and Gamora.

"This is Gamora, a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy," answered Tempest, looking up at her. "She is looking for the one called Star Lord."

Elsewhere, Daring Do and Somnambula were on a boat bound for Canterlot along with plenty of other ponies willing to put their lives on the line for the defense of Equestria. It didn't matter of their fame or stature, both Pegasus ponies needed to be on this boat. As they sailed, Daring noticed Somnambula making a homemade spear out of the tip of a dagger and a stick.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm making a spear," answered the pillar of hope. "Usually I am a hopeful pony, however I'm not hopeful of the outcome of this confrontation. If I go down, I go down fighting."

"Usually, I am just for adventures, but I haven't been afraid to show a little muscle," sighed Daring, remembering all the times she and Rainbow Dash worked together. "But, in this case, I have to. Everypony else does. You know, Somanmbula, I can't help but think about those two legged creatures that we rescued."

"I know how you feel, Daring Do. They sort of remind me of Prince Hisan and how I did everything in my power to help protect him from harm. But, all of Equestria is at harm. We have to fight."

Just then, the two mares saw another boat out on the water, going past them in the opposite direction. There were no ponies, just one human trying to sail the boat.

"Look," called Somanmbula to Daring Do. "Do you see that boat?"

"Yes, he looks like the two brothers."

Then Daring remembered about Loki and Heimdall.

"You don't mean….?"

Nodding her head, Somnambula took to the air and Daring Do followed, much to the shock and surprise of the other ponies on board who called for them to come back, but they didn't listen. Flying towards the boat, they got closer and saw the human inside.

"Wait!" called Somanmbula, catching the attention of the figure in the boat. "Are you Thor, King of Asgard?"

This caused Thor to stop what he was doing and face the two flying ponies.

"Yes, I am," he answered. "How do you know who I am?"

"We rescued your brother," said Daring Do. "And one of your sentries."

Amazed that his brother and friend were alive, Thor began to hastily make plans to find them.

"Where are they?"

"They are in my kingdom," answered Somnambula. "In an Inn, injured but alive."

"Show them to me," ordered Thor, even if it meant to Daring and Somanmbula that they had to turn back to help Thor. With little choice, they flew down and picked up the boat, leading Thor back to his brother and friend.

Elsewhere, Grogar and his band of villains returned to the throne room now with Arabus in their ranks.

"So, nothing has changed in 1,000 years," remarked Arabus.

"Indeed," chuckled Grogar. "And in fact, after 1,000 years, Tambeleon is going to be made even better thanks to our combined efforts."

Just then, they heard the sounds of clanking coming from down in the castle courtyard and they looked down to see an army of robotic ponies down below.

"My friends," he said, laughing evilly as he saw Titanium at the front of the sizeable robotic army. "Behold…our fighting force of powerful legions ready to serve us."

"They are ready to serve you, my emperor!" shouted Titanium. "Soon, Equestria will be ours at last!"
