Gallus vs. Griffonstone

Corn and Gallus met back in Gallus’ dorm room to make last-minute preparations for their journey.

“So, do we got a plan?” Corn asked.

“Heck yeah we got a plan!” Gallus responded. “Remember how King Grover used the crown to rule over Griffonstone?”

“I think so. Wasn’t that crown magical?” Corn asked.

“It sure was! And I’m gonna use it to take over Griffonstone and use the crown’s magic to finally bring Griffonstone back to its original glory.” Gallus said.

“Nice plan!” Corn replied. “But, how will you obtain the crown?”

“Easy! We ask Headmare Twilight!” Gallus responded.

“Do you really think she would let us get it?” Corn replied.

“It’s worth a shot. Come on!” Gallus said as the two went to Twilight’s office.

Gallus opened the door to Headmare Twilight’s office. He and Corn stepped inside.

“Hi, Headmare Twilight!” Corn greeted the purple alicorn.

“Hi, Corn! Hi, Gallus! What brings you two here?” Twilight greeted them back.

“I thought about what happened during winter break, and I thought things over for a bit. I feel like I’ve been using your school as an escape from everything currently happening in Griffonstone under Grampa Gruff’s rule. All I’ve been hearing about in current events class is how Grampa Gruff is ruining Griffonstone. And that’s really the only thing that we talk about besides Donald Trump and how he’s ruining his country! Something’s gotta change!” Gallus ranted.

“And we’ve been wondering if we can borrow King Grover’s crown for a little bit.” Corn added.

“Wait, what are you planning on using Grover’s crown for?” Twilight asked.

“Y’know how Grover used his crown to make Griffonstone thrive, which is something that Gruff and Trump fail to do? The magic of that crown will help unite Griffonstone in a time of serious need.” Gallus explained.

“So, can we have it?” Corn asked.

“You do have a very valid point, Gallus, but I don’t think it would be wise for me to give you two the crown. You don’t even know how it works.” Twilight replied.

“Can you show us?” Gallus asked.

“Okay. Follow me.” Twilight told the two as she led them into the basement.

The three walked over to a glass cube that encased the Crown of Grover, which was placed on top of a purple cushion.

“This is the Crown of Grover. They say it had magical abilities that enabled the wearer of the crown to acquire all of the crown’s magic. This crown was magic and was composed of the six Elements of Harmony, the elements can be seen on the crown. However, when Grampa Gruff became the ruler of Griffonstone, he destroyed the crown so he can bring his true vision to Griffonstone. With the crown destroyed, Griffonstone became divided and became weak while other nations thrived. Without the crown, it’s impossible to overthrow Grampa Gruff.” Twilight explained.

This worried Gallus and Corn. Without the crown, how will Griffonstone become united again?

“There’s got to be another way to bring the magic of friendship to Griffonstone! Does the crown in there still work?” Gallus asked worriedly.

“This isn’t real. It’s made of plastic.” Twilight replied. “I’m sorry, Gallus, but without the crown’s magic, there’s no way to fix Griffonstone.”

“A do-gooder never gives up! What if we take that crown and put magic inside of it?” Corn asked.

“It doesn’t work like that, Corn.” Twilight responded.

“Have you at least tried it?” Gallus asked.

“No.” Twilight answered.

“If you haven’t tried that method, then how would you know it doesn’t work?” Corn asked.

“Hmm, that just might be crazy enough to work. I’ll gather my friends and we’ll head to the Tree of Harmony with the crown.”

Twilight and her friends met Gallus and Corn at the Tree of Harmony where they were going to perform the ritual.

“Are you sure this will work, Twilight.” Rarity asked.

“I’m sure. Just get into position and let the tree do its work.” Twilight responded.

With all six element bearers in position, the tree lit up and lifted up the Mane Six. Suddenly, the rainbow lasers beamed at the plastic crown, causing it to absorb the tree’s magic.

“Wahoo! It worked!” Gallus exclaimed.

“Thanks, guys!” Corn said.

“No problem at all, boys. Good luck!” Twilight responded as the two left for Griffonstone.
