It's been 2 days since the attack and we were near Klugetown. The girls were all hot and tired but I was fine, no sand will stop me from my goal.

"I don't remember it being so hit down here" Rainbow whined.

"We're almost to Klugetown just a bit further"

"Why didn't we use an airship to get here?" Spike quirked an eyebrow at me.

"We need them to protect Sol and Ponyville," We were now on the edge of Klugetown where we were greeted by a platoon of Spear Company.

A Griffin came up to me and saluted. "Sir!"

I gave him a nod. "Canterlot is under siege by an unknown enemy, how are things here?"

He pulled out a folder with a few photos of the enemy We are fighting. "We got reports of this enemy down in the isles and they serve someone named 'Storm King' sounds retarded" we both chuckled at the stupid name.

The Isles were uncharted in Equestrian notes but some researchers say the weather their is magical or some shit. "Yeah, we need to find some Hippo Queen and I was told shes down south"

"I'll have my men search every map we have for the Hippo Queen, we already made preparations for an invasion" The Griffin informed.

"Good, I'll go get the girls some new clothes then we can look for this Hippo" We departed and I sent to the clothes store. Inside were mostly desert related with tank tops or anything you'd see at the beach.

The girls went to get their stuff so I waited outside and wondered how things were going at Canterlot.

(Canterlot 1 day ago)

"EAT MY ASS BITCH!!" Kelso yelled as he decapitated an enemy. Their forces were falling one by one, but they never lost an inch of ground.

Bodies stacked high on both sides until the overwhelming force of the enemy broke through forcing the Warriors of Sunlight to fight with their hands and claws until their deaths. After the battle settled only a few survived, Kelso and Lucky being two of them.

A tall figure emerged from the smoke and fire, he looked like a monkey with albino features. A Pegasus charged at him only to be impaled and fell to the ground.

The monkey chuckled darkly and looked down at the Pony. "Ohohooo I sure do admire your courage pony, sad to say you will die"

"Your first mistake was coming here ape" The pony grunted.

"I am the Storm King, and your little kingdom is mine" He held a staff in his hands then stabbed the pony through the chest.

Kelso got up to make a last stand, he staff ready at hand. He shot a soul beam at the group of enemies disintegrating them, the Storm King shot a spell at Kelso that froze his movements.

"Tempest, please tell me why these puny Warriors of Sunlight keep fighting when they've lost?"

"My King, the Warriors of Sunlight don't seem to understand the word surrender. They will fight to the very death to protect this place, they are also in Ponyville from what my scouts reported"

"And the two princesses?"

"Princess Twilight and Princess Cadence escaped but we'll find them"

"You better, and remember that only I have the power to restore your horn"

"Yes my King" Tempest left to find the princesses.

The Storm King had his troops move to capture the citizens of Equestria. Kelso watched as Lucky snuck up on The Storm King with her blade in hand, he wanted to scream for her to stop but couldn't. Lucky darted forward, jumped up and jammed her knife into the Storm Kings shoulder.

He grunted and elbowed her in the face. "You ponies just don't quit do you?"

Lucky took a defensive stance, her emotionless face plate glared in the sun. She snarled under her helmet at the King, her burning hatred for the invader was felt emitting from her body. The Storm King shot a spell at her that blasted her into a store window, Lucky teleported behind the Storm King and kicked him in the leg only to be grabbed by one of the Storm creatures.

The Storm King cackled and walked over to Kelso, he knew who the undead were and knew they would be a problem with his want of Alicorn power.

"You undead are nothing but a pest to me," He unfroze Kelso and grabbed him by the throat. "maybe Tartarus will suit you"

"I'll rip your kidney out and make you eat it fuck face!" Kelso grunted.

(Kobes POV)

"I'm sure he's fine" I waved off the thought.

Twilight exited the store wearing jeans and a half cut shirt that was blue with black stripes. "Kobe does this look good?"

I stared at the half shirt wondering. "Where's the rest of the shirt?"

"It's how it was designed, I thought it looked cute" she spun around giving me a full view.

"Yeah it is but where's the oth-" Before I could finish the girls exited the store looking like it was a day at the beach. Spike had shorts and a t-shirt on and thats about it.

"Well?" Cadence asked.

They looked pretty fucking hot but not the clothes I'd expect to wear while saving the world. "I'd be lying if I said y'all looked hot so I'm just gonna go to the barracks and find the Hippo Queen" I got up and walked my ass to the barracks.

Inside was busy as hell with many of my guys looking through maps and others planing on a counter attack for Canterlot when we meet up with Colin again. I went to the big table with all the maps and looked at them, so far no one was able to find a Hippo Queen anywhere on the maps. We were even looking at the maps that go beyond Equestria but all I could find was a Hippogriff....wait.

"Holy shit" I gasped finally knowing what Celestia was saying.

The Pony next to me put a hand on my back. "Sir?"

I pointed towards Mount Aris. "She was talking about Hippogriffs, they are in a place called Mount Aris"

"I heard the Hippogriffs up and disappeared after the Great war" The Dragon across from me said.

"Why would they just leave?" I asked.

He hummed for a second as he tried to think. "I don't think they left, no sign of anyone leaving was found but their whole city was empty with almost everyones belongings still there" He handed me old photos of the city and It looked like no ones been there in decades.

I handed them back to him and turned away. "I'll head to Aris and I want every single Warrior ready for battle"

"Yessir" They said in unison.

I exited the barracks and went to get the girls so we could head out. I found them sitting on a bench by the store talking to each other, Twilight saw me and hopped up from the bench then skipped over to me. I informed them of where we needed to go and how I was gonna hire a ship to take us.

"You think we'll find anything?" RD asked.

"If we don't then we'll take back Canterlot ourselves, I hope Kelso can wait a bit longer" I replied.

Twilight grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the hangar. "We need to get going then"

We walked to the hangar where Garble was talking to some lion until he spotted me then smiled. "Kobe my friend, I heard Canterlot was attacked. What's going on?"

"Yeah by some Storm King guy caught us with our pants down" I shook my head in shame.

"Storm King?" He said. "Never heard of em"

"Me neither but he's already captured two of the princesses and we need passage to Mount Aris" I cut to the chase.

Garble looked at his clipboard and wrote some stuff down before helping us. "I can have a cruiser take you and your friends, just be careful out there"

"Thanks Garble" I tossed him some bits then he guided us to the ship we were gonna take to Aris.

The ship looked like a bird kinda and looked pretty badass compared to our ships. A green parrot walked down from the ramp and noticed us, well noticed Twilight.

"Princess Twilight?" She asked her.

Twilight didn't seem to know her though. "Uh...yes?"

The bird held out her claw and Twilight shook it. "Last time I saw you a Knight was carrying you from a volcano," she chuckled. I think that was when Colin saved her ass while I was a phantom. "I assume you're here on royal duty?"

Twilight nodded. "Oh yes, we are seeking passage to Mount Aris to find the Queen of the Hippogriffs to help us against the Storm Kings invasion"

The birds eyes widened at the name of the Storm King. "The Storm King? I thought he'd stay away from Equestria since he ruled Panthera, the kingdom of cats and many lands beyond Equestria"

"Well I think it's time to show this King he fucked with the wrong country" I said with venom towards the King.

She looked over at me and looked me up and down. "You're Colins friend yeah?"

I smiled. "Yep I'm one of them, who are you?"

She put a claw in her chest. "Names Celaeno, I'm the captain of this beauty" She said pointing to the ship. "Colin and I met 8 years ago when your marefriend here was dying"

I raised an eyebrow at that. "How do you-"

"We keep up with each other every few months, he asked us to keep an eye out for any demons we see" Celaeno explained.

I eased up after hearing that, I was thankful now for them saving Twilight. "Oh well thanks for saving Twilight, but we must hurry if we are to get back to Canterlot in time"

"I can take you there as a sign of friendship from Colin, but it'll be a one way trip for us as we have something special to find" She informed as she walked back up the ramp.

We followed her up the ramp and onto the ship where her crew who were also birds were chilling out. One looked really buff, another looked like my crack head aunt and the last one was...special. I stood by the pier and watched as we set sail shortly after towards Aris to find this Queen and missing race.

(Sol)

Colin was stressing out while getting his Warriors ready, he needed to make sure Ponyville was locked down and the surrounding towns were safe. Shining Armor, Flurry Heart and the other half of the mane 6 were safe inside Sol.

Dotharam jogged up to Colin and saluted. "Sir, we have Red Barons ready in the clouds for any enemy air support and have Liberty Division and Spear Company stationed in Ponyville ready for an attack"

Colin nodded in satisfaction. "Good, I'll join them after I speak with Shining Armor"

"Yessir!" Dotharam left to join the forces in Ponyville.

Colin went inside Sol to make sure the others were okay. Today has been terrible with Canterlot falling and his friends all split up trying to stop this force of evil. A letter appeared in front of him bearing Kobes cross sign, he grabbed the letter quickly and ripped it open.

"Yo just met your bird friend Cel...whatever. We are now heading to a place called Mount Aris to find some missing race. I hope things are going well for you. Kobe the God of Vibes"

Colin laughed at the last part and rolled up the letter, he knew he was talking about Celaeno. He's written to her many times mostly about any demons or evil in the lands. The letter gave him much more relief now and he didn't have to worry as much. Colin went to the room where the girls were and knocked before entering, inside the girls had new clothes since their dresses ripped from the fall.

He poked his head in to see the girls all on the bed. "Just checking to make sure y'all are alright"

Apple Jack hopped down and greeted Colin with a hug. "Thanks sugarcube, we're fine just a bit worried about the others and Canterlot"

"Yes I am quite afraid of the damage done to the city, those barbarians will get whats coming to them" Rarity spat.

"What about Kelso?" Asked Flutter Shy.

Colin shrugged slightly unsure of what was happening. "I haven't heard from him yet so he's either still fighting or captured"

Apple Jack lowered her head and sighed. "I hope they find whatever they need to stop this invasion"

"I know they will," Colin said with confidence. He believed they would stop this invasion by tomorrow. "Now I need to get to Ponyville before the enemy forces attack" He turned around and began to left the room.

Apple Jack grabbed his hand and looked him in the eyes. "Please be safe Colin"

"I will" He promised then left the room.

He walked out of the castle where a whole division of Warriors were at the ready for battle. They were itching for a fight and now they will finally get it, Ponyville was bound to be under siege but not if the Warriors of Sunlight have anything to say about it. Colin picked up his sword and shield them took the lead towards Ponyville for a stand that'll write history as a deadly standoff between a King and an Undead.
