Avengers: War for Equestria

Wade Wilson and Bucky Barnes treaded towards the volcanic mountain called Mount Ragnaros where Bray and his platoon of warrior donkeys were seeking to recruit the Lava Demon known as Lavan. As they watched, they saw them advance into the side of the mountain.

"What do we do?" whispered Wade. "Do we strike?"

"When the time is right," replied Bucky, sticking his gun into the holster on his back. "I'll get the donkeys and you get the lead donkey. Got it?"

"If you say so," he said, putting his mask back on. "Although I still think we should just get them right then and there. This waiting is agonizing for me."

"Find something to distract yourself," muttered Bucky, stepping into the cave. "Now come on!"

…

Stepping into the side of the mountain, Bray and his forces advanced towards a pool of lava and without warning, a humanoid creature made entirely out of lava emerged from the lava and looked down at them.

"Who disturbs my slumber?" the creature growled, looking down menacingly at Bray and his forces.

"It is us, the soldiers of his highness, Emperor Grogar," cried Bray, bowing to the lava demon. "He has requested that you join forces with us."

"Ah, so he has returned," remarked Lavan, stepping out of the lava pool. "Those two ponies apparently couldn't keep the great Grogar hidden forever. But, what about those other two idiots, Squirk of the sea and Arabus of the wind?"

"I'm sure that whatever you had between the three of you is in the past," said Bray, chuckling nervously. "All we need for you to do right now is to come with us. Grogar is planning a conquest of Equestria and he needs you to help take part in it."

"So, he is. And what's in it for me?"

"Unlimited power and glory," answered Bray. "Freedom to spread whatever lava, fire and brimstone anywhere you please. But, I am sure that we can work something out in the long run. Come, Grogar is waiting for us."

The donkeys were just about to leave when Lavan suddenly gave himself an idea.

"Wait!" he said.

"What is it?" asked Bray.

"I want to at least demonstrate my power, get it going again," answered Lavan. "Why don't I start an eruption to try out my powers, shall we?"

"If you say so," muttered Bray. "Just make it quick."

The donkeys watched as Lavan made his way up to the top of the lava pool. Chanting a strange spell, he forced the lava to rise up and move towards the top of the mountain where the hole was.

"Yes, yes!" laughed Lavan. "Rise up, my lava! Rise up, my beautiful lava!"

Watching from a short distance, both Deadpool and Bucky realized that they couldn't wait any longer.

"We got to do something!" cried Deadpool, taking a sword out of his back and aiming it right at Lavan. Knowing that such an action would blow their cover, Bucky tried to stop him. "He ain't causing any volcano to erupt!"

"Wade, no!"

But it was too late, Deadpool's sword was flung into the air and struck Lavan in the arm, slightly wounding him.

"What was that?!" cried Lavan. "Spies! Stop them!"

"Nice going, idiot!" hissed Bucky sarcastically to Deadpool, taking out his gun and opening fire on the donkeys.

Enraged, Lavan jumped into the air and proceeded to throw his wrath and anger on the two Avengers. Deadpool was right in the path of the enraged creature. A blob of lava went onto one of Deadpool's swords, causing it to melt.

"You know," groaned Deadpool, trying to jump out of Lavan's way. "You give Heat Miser a bad name!"

Roaring, Lavan jumped after Deadpool, throwing lava bombs at him with excessive force. But, with every attempt made, Deadpool was just too quick.

Just then, the donkeys were having their way with Bucky, dodging the bullets that came out of his high powered gun. One of the donkeys leapt and kicked Bucky in the stomach as he was pushed back down to the ground.

"For a bunch of jackasses," coughed Bucky, trying to get back onto his feet. "You sure know how to pack a punch and…"

However, Bucky could finish his sentence, he was met with another kick. As the Winter soldier laid crumpled on the floor, Lavan was able to hit Deadpool, grasping him with his lava claw and pushing him against the wall of the mountain.

"Now, I got you, you little prick!" he snarled, grasping hard on Deadpool's throat.

"Hey," choked Deadpool. "Can't we talk this out?"

"No," Lavan said firmly and kept clutching hard on Deadpool's throat. Deadpool tried to breathe as Bucky struggled to his feet, only to be pushed back down by one of the donkeys.

"Stay down, two legs!" cried Bray. "Lavan, there's no need to waste our time with these fools! We must go at once!"

This made Lavan release his grip on Deadpool, sending him back down onto the ground, gasping for air.

"I'm not done with you yet," cried Lavan as he suddenly began to hear screams coming out of the volcano. "In fact, it seems like my test run has worked to say the least."

Laughing, Lavan and the donkeys left, leaving Bucky to struggle on getting back to his feet.

"Wade! Wade!" he cried, racing over to Deadpool's side. "Come on man! Don't die on me!"

Fortunately, Wade managed to come around quickly, but he was still weak from the fight with Lavan.

"You know, remind me to call on Snow Miser the next time I cross paths with this guy," coughed Wade.

"There's no time for this, Wilson! We'll talk later! Right now, we've got ponies that need to be saved from the lava!"

Running out of the cave, Deadpool and Bucky raced to rescue the ponies that were in the path of the flowing lava.

…

Meanwhile, at Canterlot High, Sunset Shimmer came down to the office where she was meet by both Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna.

"Who is this guy?" she asked.

"I'm Dr. Bruce Banner, Miss Shimmer and we need to talk about something regarding your homeland, Equestria."

"You mind telling me what's going on here?" Sunset asked the two principals.

"He says that he wants to talk to you about something important," remarked Vice Principal Luna, turning her attention from Sunset Shimmer back to Dr. Banner. "You're welcome to use my office."

"Thank you."

Leading Sunset into Vice Principal Luna's office, Dr. Banner shut the door and motioned for Sunset to sit down.

"What do you want with me and what is going on in Equestria?" asked Sunset, worriedly. "For that matter, why come to me?"

"Tell me something, Sunset," answered Bruce, placing his hands down on Luna's desk. "When you came to this world, how much Equestrian magic did you bring?"

"Quite a bit, why do you ask?"

"Because we need you to use some of that magic to stop a major threat to Equestria. Are you familiar with the kingdom of Tambeleon and its Emperor, Grogar?"

"Very vaguely," stammered Sunset. "I do remember learning about him at Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns."

"Then, I need you to come with me at once," said Bruce, firmly. "Equestria is about to be thrown into the fires of war and we need all the help we can get."

"Hold on, hold on, hold on!" cried Sunset, waving her hands back and forth. "Who's 'we'?"

…

Suddenly, the swirling black portal formed and out stepped Dr. Strange.

"Are you part of 'we'?"

"Yes, Sunset, I'm Dr. Stephen Strange, master of the mythical arts."

Although shocked and bewildered, Sunset couldn't help but be enraptured by the presence of Dr. Strange.

"I hope you both realize that I will be taking a lot of time out of school," advised Sunset, rising to her feet.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure you get caught up on any missed assignments," reassured Bruce. "Now, let's go."

So, they all went through the portal back to Equestria as both principals raced into the office upon hearing the sounds of the portal swirling.

"Sister, Sunset…" gasped Vice-Principal Luna, her eyes widened with shock.

"…must have gone back to that land she came from," finished Principal Celestia. "I can't help but wonder just how many times this is going to continue."

"For once, I agree with you."

…

Meanwhile, the private jet carrying Tony, Julia and Peter Parker entered Equestrian airspace and was escorted to the Wonderbolts Academy. Landing on the runway, the three Avengers stepped out of the plane to the delight of the Wonderbolts and the Wonderbolt cadets.

"You must be Tony Stark," said Spitfire. "Welcome to Equestria."

"Uh, thanks," stammered Tony. "I know this was unexpected, but…"

"Ah, we got a message that you'd be coming," remarkeed Spitfire, handing Tony a message. "Anyways, here is the latest report from your friends at S.M.I.L.E."

"Well, it ain't good news," Tony replied as he read the report.

"Hey, this is cool!" cried Peter, excitedly. "I've always wanted to experience the Wonderbolt Academy! Hey, aren't those two Pegasus ponies still here? Sky Trail and Vapor Stinger?"

"You'll have to excuse my protégé here," chuckled Tony. "He's seen you guys on TV."

"TV?" wondered Spitfire, confusingly.

"We'll tell you later," said Julia, walking over to her boyfriend's side. "Right now, we need to get to S.M.I.L.E. and get briefed on what is happening."

…

Just then, a loud explosion rocked the academy and Spitfire looked over through the telescope to see the eruption over on Mount Ragnaros.

"What the hell…?" cried Tony. "No one told me there were volcanoes in Equestria!"

"Guess theirs is never a better time to learn," cried Julia, her high heels nearly causing her to fall over. "What do we do?"

"We go and help!" ordered Tony, running back to the plane. "Let's suit up!"

Racing back to the plane, Tony , Peter and Julia changed into their respective Iron Man, Spider Man and Spider Woman suits and raced towards the volcano with Peter, still amazed he was in Equestria, not too far behind. As they flew away, Spitfire watched with worried interest.

"Celestia's going to want to know about this," she thought to herself.
