Avengers: War for Equestria

While Tony and the others were meeting in the throne room, Twilight, Starlight, Spike and the Pillars were focused on healing the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy from their injuries.

"Ugh, now I know feels to have an arm freeze!" moaned Star Lord as Twilight and Starlight, worked together to try and melt his frozen arm in one of the guest rooms. "I've heard of brain freeze, but not this kind of…ow!"

"That's because your arm has been frozen," said Mage, bringing in a pot of hot water and carefully placing Star Lord's arm in it. "Rest it in here for a while. The warm water should help."

"If you say so."

"Just be thankful that it could have been worse," remarked Drax. "First we get shot out of the galaxy and the next…we get trounced by some blowhard wind monster."

"What he said," added Mantis.

Just then, a knock on the door was heard and Twilight turned to open it to reveal Tempest and Gamora on the other side. Star Lord let out a sharp gasp when he saw the love of his life standing in the doorway.

"Peter," cried Gamora, who ran over to be at his side, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "Oh, Peter…"

"Shh, Shh, it's okay, sweetheart," whispered Peter as they embraced. "Just watch the arm. It's been frozen. But, how did you..?"

"The strange creature helped us. A creature that is mismatched."

"Of course," groaned Twilight, rolling her eyes. "That's Discord. You might call him our…our village idiot. He's reformed, but still mischievous. Even though he has helped us in the past."

"It's not really nice to call someone an idiot," advised Mantis, sitting down in a chair next to Star Lord. "Just so you know."

Twilight decided to ignore the remark and instead get back to helping the Guardians get better once again. However, she wasn't to be focused on it for very long as Tempest motioned for her to follow her.

"Twilight," she called, motioning her to come forward. "You might want to come down to the throne room."

Following Tempest out of the room, Twilight was led down to her throne room where Celestia, Luna and everyone else was gathered.

"Hey guys," Twilight said, seeing her human friends again along with Sci-Twi, her human counterpart as they ran over and hugged her tightly. "Good to see you again. What's going on, Celestia?"

"Well, we've been discussing how to protect the Tree of Harmony for starters," said Tony. "How are the Guardians?"

"They'll be fine for the time being. Starlight and the others are taking care of them. Do we have any plans to defend the tree?"

"That's what we're figuring out right now, Twilight Sparkle," said Luna. "Captain Rogers has already suggested that he lead his faction against any army that would move towards the tree."

"And furthermore," added Tony to Twilight. "That we defend the tree itself."

"Who would defend the tree?"

"Myself, Julia and Peter. Dr. Strange, would you be willing to help us?"

"I would."

"We will help you as well along with Princess Cadence," offered Celestia. "The tree would stand a better chance if all four of us are defending it."

At that moment, Spike came into the throne room walking towards the map holding up a scroll.

"I had to take this outside since Gamora doesn't like seeing creatures throw up," he remarked, handing Twilight the scroll. Opening it, Twilight briefly read it and then looked towards Celestia and Luna.

"It's from someone called T'Challa," she said, passing the scroll to Celestia and Luna. "King of Wakanda."

"He is saying that his forces from Wakanda have arrived in Equestria," replied Luna, putting the scroll back down on the table. "In fact, we should have multiple forces to face the impending army."

"I agree," said Celestia. "If our intelligence is correct, then multiple armies will be joining that includes the Changelings that are fiercely loyal to Chrysalis. So, that means we cannot take any chances. Everypony and every creature needs to be on their guard."

Heeding Celestia's orders everyone proceeded to prepare to defend the tree of harmony.

…

Meanwhile, back at S.M.I.L.E. headquarters, Discord was still going over his own plans to defend the tree of harmony to Fury Swipes and the creatures he helped heal.

"So, basically," guessed Fury. "You, the spirit of chaos, can't just simply snap your fingers and make this whole threat disappear?"

"Well, yes, that is my plan," said Discord, who then proceeded to show himself on a tightrope with circus music playing in the background. "Otherwise, how else can there be chaos in Equestria? We must all have a balance."

"But, there needs to be living ponies if there is to be a balance too, you know," remarked Scott. "And I think we need to get our butts moving now that we are healed."

Almost as if he knew what Scott was going to say, Discord quickly disappeared with a snap of his lion paw. With Discord gone, Fury motioned for everyone in the medical ward to follow him out and prepare themselves to fight. At that moment, Rainbow Dash came into the base.

"Crash, you came back in time," said Spitfire. "Where have you been?"

"Helping out in the evacuation of Cloudsdale," answered Rainbow Dash, removing her goggles off of her face. "Per orders from Canterlot. Apparently, nopony is taking any chances with these guys, not after the wind monster's attack."

Hearing that Cloudsdale had been evacuated caused Spitfire to have a sense of concern on her face

"What about my mother?" She asked with a hint of panic in her voice

"She's fine, heeding the orders like the rest of Cloudsdale. Apparently, they are being evacuated to the Crystal Empire. Shining Armor said that the borders are open to evacuees."

"That's a relief," sighed Spitfire, knowing that her mother was safe. "What should we do now?"

"For starters, you and any remaining Pegasi head to Cloudsdale and make sure the city is totally cleared," suggested Fury Swipes, activating the big screen to show them the map of Cloudsdale. "More than likely, Arabus will perhaps target Cloudsdale during the attack."

"You got it!" shouted Spitfire. "Let's go, Bolts!"

Racing out of the headquarters, Flash Magnus, Rainbow Dash, Spitfire and Soarin' raced back to rally the surviving Pegasi forces to defend Cloudsdale.

"You guys better head back to Twilight's castle," continued Fury, turning his attention over to Scott and Wade. "We're going to get in touch with Equestria's allies and make sure we get their help as well. All claws and hooves on deck!"

Soon, Wade and Scott heeded the order and were soon on their way back to Twilight's castle while the word soon went out to Equestria's allies, such as the Dragon Lands, the Changeling Kingdom, Griffonstone, and Yakyakistan. No time was wasted and once they got the word, their forces were soon being mobilized.

…

Meanwhile, back in Canterlot, Trixie and Moondancer along with several other ponies were standing on one of the towers, ready to defend the kingdom at all costs.

"Nervous?" Trixie asked, looking over at Moondancer.

"Yeah," sighed Moondancer, holding a homemade spear in her magic aura. "Very. In fact, I've never felt so scared in my life. Do you think we'll be able to live through this?"

"The great and powerful Trixie hopes so," replied Trixie, remembering all of the times that she had a traveling magician, from the moment of her first magic show to her friendship and relationship with Starlight Glimmer.

Yes, like everypony else, Trixie was afraid, but she needed to be strong. Everypony couldn't let their fear get to them if they were to have any chance of standing pat against the Nine Circles of Death.

…

A few hours later, Spike burped up another scroll and handed it over to Twilight.

"Guess Ember and the other leaders are sending forces to help us," she said to Celestia and Luna as Spike burped up another scroll. "And Cadence is coming over right now to help us."

"So, when do we move towards the tree?" asked Tony to Celestia. Without hesitation, Celestia grabbed her helmet with her magic and placed it on her head, ready to fight.

"We move…now."
