Alicorn King

Atlantis Rising Pt II

It's when the leader of a country overrides all opposing forces on a specific issue and passes it through on their word alone, it can be seen as an abuse of power if used too often but for the most part taking executive action is a workaround for issues that have strong opposition. The voice said This power is something I'm pretty sure is in your Bill of Rights equivalent considering that the original humans came from America. The place where this term originates.

Nabiki smiled at that and thought Thank you. Then she turned to her best friend and said, "Road go get me the Stallion Freedoms documents, my clipboards and the Valley Seal. I just got reminded that I can bypass the Stable & Senate."

"Okay how and by whom?" Road said as the requested items appeared in her hands. "Been keeping them in my dream as ordered here ya go."

"It appears another ring has found its bearer" Nabiki replied as she took the items then began to make the necessary minor changes that transform the document from a bill to an executive order. She signed her signature then pressed the seal against it. "There! Bluebelle can now go chew cups as the stallions can now be more active in the community." She giggles at the mortified look of that stuck unicorn senator."

An Equestrian walks up to her and asks, "Uh… ma'am? Who is this Bluebellr?"

"Oh?" She says. "Hmm. She's A white unicorn with a mane and tail of blonde. And she's the most stuck up and elletest unicorn who cares more about herself and thinks lower social standing ponies are little more than dust."

"Sounds like our Blue before she was feminized by the caribou. One of the few good things they did was give her a reality check." Steel said as she landed back on the ship. "SteelHeart, first guard to Queen Ayumi and alien extraordinaire." Extending her hand out to Road for a shake. "Might want to get a few guards on the border. I kind of accidentally released a lava demon because someone messed with our flight path and put us directly in front of his glacial prison." Steel said glaring at Wantall with her eyes glowing with barely suppressed heat vision.

"YOU WHAT!" Road shouted at Wantall. "You son of a bitch you know what a danger that beast is, Steel is right you're going to help us beat him, that's only the beginning of your punishment! If you weren't immortal you would have your head chopped off for doing this!"

"I…I was trying to prevent them from finding Dream Valley." Wantall replied. "But the Sentinel brought them here."

"He was trying to force the resolution to start welcoming peaceful explorers to fail by having them destroyed by that beast" Nabiki said in disgust.

Ok I'm coming over, be prepared for the radiation. Nabiki heard moments before a massive CRACK! Was heard and a rumbling growl accompanied.

"Ayumi!" Steel yelled in response once everyone could hear again "I handled it! We have at least 4 hours before he melts the coating I forced on him with my arctic breath."

"I'm not here for that beast just yet." The group heard through the growls Ayumi made. "I'm here to meet the ruler myself."

Nabiki looks at her ring then says formally, "I am Nabiki Samantha Williams, keeper of the Rainbow of Light, High Sorceress, Bearer of the Ring of Generosity and Grand Sentinel, leader of Dream Valley. I welcome you to the valley."

"The first thing you should do upon our treaty of being completed is pledge the Rainbow of Light to the defense of all, not just your Valley." Ayumi suggested adopting a business tone while also acknowledging her equal in political matters greeting with a quick nod. "Other than that." The beast shrank down revealing a doppelganger of Twilight Sparkle with dragon wings instead of the normal feathered things of an alicorn. "I am Queen Ayumi, leader of the Atlantean Empire. Ally to Equestria and the free Everfree country. Husband of King Alex of the free Everfree country and the original equestrian dragon. Bearer of the Ring of Magic and knowledge of another world, much like the one that you come from, the one that all humans in this land come from."

Nabiki walked up to Ayumi and held out her hand saying, "In harmony's name, I so pledge. May the alliance between Dream Valley, the Atlantean Empire, Equestria, and the free state of Everfree. May we find the remaining 5 rings of the Rings of Harmony."

Road shaked her head and muttered "the House and Senate are going to have kittens when they learn she cut them out of the loop… again." Which she smirked.

"The rings are searching but it seems Honesty has found its bearer in a familiar family." A voice said through the two ruler's rings.

"Well then Harmony, glad that these rings allow you to talk and observe without using your projection" Ayumi said to the entity. "Familiar family huh? That does narrow it down somewhat, but I wonder which Apple is wearing it although it could be one of the Pies, Oranges or even the Pears."

A crystalline and spectral version of Twilight appeared and said "I must correct myself, a few moments ago the bearers of Loyalty and Kindness, both from this world, are now bearers of the rings of the same element. It seems that both were being worn by caribou who embodied them until they got close to Everfree and the elements of Kindness and Loyalty's proximity caused the rings of the same element to reject the caribou and fly to them.

"Also it seems a Caribou prise airship is on a course for Dream Valley. Probably trying to find the original pony homeland with the intent to raid it."

"Well then maybe we should show them exactly what humans can do?" Ayumi asked Nabiki and Wantall. "I was human once so I understand the want to protect others of our kind Wantall so I'm giving you this chance of redemption and to show us exactly why you were once called the ancient protector."

Wantall's answer was an unnerving grin.


Meanwhile, on an airship the crew were mostly pegasi stallions with caribou bucks as officers sailed over the frozen shore of a north island. Daring Do walked on all fours towards the captain of the ship who was her master. As she refused to submit she wore a black collar. Her will to fight had been slowly eroded with her master's abuse. There was some physical abuse, as evidenced by a few new scars on Daring's lithe form but the heap of it was kept mostly mental so as to keep from breaking his toy. He looked at her lustilly and opened his mouth to give her a command when the ship rocked with the arrival of three individuals a male and three females, one of which uncannily looked like Princess Twilight Sparkle but she could tell it wasn't for some reason. The non pony female had a flat face, no tail and no fur and was surrounded by an indigo glow. He looked at the male, who was fit as a warrior wearing what looked like a cape made of a storm cloud and who he assumed he was the leader.

Before he could say anything, three tendrils of indigo extended from a solid ingedo ring and flew to his slave. He watched as the glow enveloped the wing cases and collar of his slave before they disintegrated freeing Daring. "Hey!" He shouted "She belongs to me!"

He then made a move to stop the female in the indigo glow but doubled over as the male dashed in and punched the captain in the gut with an ugly sneer on his face. "I'd be thinking more on how your going to survive the walk back to a friendly settlement, Bucky." The male condescendingly said.

"Wantall! Steel! Ground this airship." The glowing female commanded. The caribou captain, Baldor bristled at the sight of a female commanding a male he was about to order the entire party captured when he noticed the entire pony complement of the crew in an indigo sphere, and his slave in the Twilight clones arms. He then felt the airship crash land and twin red beams left from the earth pony mare's eyes, though the deck, into the engines where he heard a muffled boom right before a lightning bolt struck the gasbag. The glowing female flew off with his crew along with the Twilight clone and the impossible Earth Pony. His bewildered crew looked at him in worry. He looked at the area they had been forced down in. "IF I survive getting my crew to a friendly settlement, I'm going to fight Dain for the crown." He thought bitterly.


"Miss Doo," Ayumi addressed the familiar pegasus "your sisters will be happy to know that you're safe." The Alicorn felt Daring shiver at The mention of Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo "Your mother and father are still missing regretfully but Dash and Scoots will be happy for sure."

"Please tell me honestly your majesty," Daring said. "Is it true that not only that a male Alicorn has appeared & he rescued my sisters & their friends? As well stole Celestia right from under Dain?" She had heard rumors from the other mare's some of which were red collars of the appearance of a male alicorn. How he had better martial prowess and was immensely skilled at magic. She overheard from her master that the resistance had become more of a threat since his appearance. What gave her hope was the rumor of two magic pulses that had undone whatever made the stallions turn on the mares.

Ayumi nodded. "That's my husband and the patriarch of the Royal Atlantean/Equestrian herd which includes Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo's part of dragon lord Barb's horde. Spike was feminized and now goes by the name Barb by the way."

The group was surprised that Alex had gone up against Danin, "Not only has my husband basically ended the threat of the caribou by cutting off their main command structure but we both have been chosen to rule parts of Equestria that were lost a thousand years ago or even before that in my case."

Daring smiled at the news. She observed them fly over an impossibly high glacier and into a large valley with a temperate environment. She saw a ship that looked more like it belonged in the sea than the lake it was sitting in. She watched as they landed on the main deck of the ship and the bubble that surrounded her and the rest of the equestrians faded away. She watched a white unicorn with a cutiemark of a cluster of stars and a mane and tail that were purple and white walked up to the ring bearer which she revised was a human and say, "Here's the Rainbow Locket Sentinel." The Sentinel took it and said, "Thank you Twilight. Now to help our new friends." With that she opened the locket.

A familiar portal opened up as the rainbow of light poured from the locket. "Interesting." Ayumi commented.

The rainbow then flew to each of the equestrians and spun around them, encasing them briefly in a chromatic cocoon one at a time before unwrapping them and moving to the next, cleansing them on detrimental enchantments, & mental conditions then flew over the horizon. A couple of minutes later it returned to it's locket.

Nabiki closed the locket with a snap then looked at Daring Do and asked, "What were the caribou looking for? I know the area has little to offer so I can make an educated guess."

Daring nodded as she pointed at the locket and said, "That. Some caribou scholar stumbled upon writings of it and told Dain about it. Not liking there was an artifact that may, undo the spell he had placed on equestrians he had the expedition organized with the goal of capturing it and turning it to caribou ends. And if it couldn't be corrupted, destroy it."

"That portal leads back to the human world. How come none of you have ever taken it for weaponry knowledge and other things?" Ayumi asked, pointing to the portal that looked like the Mirror floating in midair. "From the time of Dream Valley as the home of ponies a lot has gone on. This human world could be even more advanced than the one that I come from."

Nabiki drops her head in shame, saying. "1005 years ago we acquired 2000 schoolbooks from kindergarten to college level and put them in a special library. The plan was to use the knowledge within but three things happened. Somebody named Heimdal stopped letting folks cross back to our earth. Then Katrina and Grogar started raiding Dream Valley for slaves. Which caused the Rainbow of Light to seal that library in a crystal that no one can break, though not for a lack of anypony trying." She grumbled, remembering her own attempt before continuing with her explanation. "Followed by an eclipse that lasted for 12 hours. Of course we were able to seal Katrina in Crystal which we sent into an orbit which would come back every 76 years much like a famous comet back in the human world. We were finally able to seal Grogar out of this world 200 years ago and begin cleansing the valley from Grogar's monsters and corruption." With a heavy sigh she concluded, "We held a celebration to commemorate that we had completed the cleaning of Dream Valley when the 18 hour night occurred, but nothing more happened until the arrival of these ponies, save the face on the moon disappearing during that long night." She gestured towards the crew of the Albatross.

"Luna's return is the cause of the long night." Ayumi said before she walked up to the portal. "I wonder if this is Marvel Heimdall or straight up Norse Hymdal. Though considering he barres your way I would say it's Marvel based, since in true Norse mythology he just watches over the Bifrost. Maybe I can talk with him using the Marvel phrase." The Alicorn hybrid touched the portal as she mused this. "I know you can hear me! Heimdall open the portal!" She shouted hoping that he would listen to a fellow god.

Suddenly Ayumi found herself and Alex in the Bifrost Chamber standing before the legendary guardian of the bridge looking grimly at them.

"Uh, why am I here? Last thing I knew, Twilight, the Celestial Sisters and I began a safety spell on the edges of the Everfree skyland." Alex said, startled at the rapid relocation.

"Your wife called upon me and asked for me to reopen the home realm of mighty Stephanie's daughters. As they now carry the grandfoals of Oden's mighty mount I believe both of you should tell their grandparent of the situation down on Equis." Heimdall commented. "Go to the Palace of Asgard, Thor, the all father, and Loki await you there."

Alex looked at Ayumi saying, "I've heard of Royal summons but this takes the cake."

"Heh, hope Loki is a she in this world considering," Ayumi said blushing slightly, before turning to the dark skinned god. "Sorry to call you out like that. I understand that you were doing your job. Hopefully Odin will be okay with what's going on and my reasoning for asking the portal to be reconnected."

As they walked out of the chamber Alex said, "Loki's current gender shouldn't be a problem as Loki can be fully female, male, or true Herm they choose if what mythology says is correct." At once both spread their wings And flew to the Palace as it was in the center, the Biggest building, "plated" gold (or so he hoped). As they landed, a high-pitched yelling could be heard. "Sounds like the trickster decided to go girl today." Alex commented as they opened the door.

When they entered they saw Oden sitting on his throne with his hand over face, Thor looking much like the MCU version of himself trying to calm down a female Loki dressed in the MCU depiction of Loki's get up.. Loki shouted, "THAT HORNHEAD BASTARD DARED TO VIOLATE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS!! HE MUST BE PUNISHED!!"


Author's Note

If no one has realized it. Me and my Co-author have used mythology's listing of the relation ship of Odin & Loki, not comic/MCU. According to mythology Loki is Thor's Aunt/Uncle (Asgardians can choose their gender at will).
