Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom

The orange dragon is walking to the crystal castle. The guards lead her to the meeting room and sees Princess Cadance is sitting to wait for her.

The orange dragon smiles. "Hello Princess Cadance, I hope you enjoy your new title."

"Thank you, Sunset." Cadance nods. "I just miss my husband. He is visiting Twilight Sparkle."

"Really, I thought you were going to honeymoon with each other." Sunset taps her fingers on the table. "Tell me, why are you summoning me here? I just want to visit and learn about those crystal ponies."

"Sorry Sunset, Crystal Empire is having some troubles inside, like the snowstorm outside, so I don't want you to be uncomfortable with it." The pink alicorn sways the tail. "Anyway, dragons like gems, right? We have a new type of gem to let you analyze it."

Sunset turns to the door and senses some shadowns are on the roof. The orange dragon grins. "I am not a gem analyzer, how can I know the rarity?"

"You can eat it." Explains Cadance. "Dragon can taste it to define its rarity."

Sunset sighs. "Ah... but is it a waste of your gem? I assume that you can go to the gem shop."

The maid walks into the room and shows a big ruby on the stray. Cadance smiles. "Just bite a little and you will know its rarity."

Sunset picks the gem up. "Before I bite this, can I know what your wedding day is?"

"Six months ago, that's queen Chrysalis invasion."

"I thought about it 9 months ago." Sunset spins the gem. "Me and others are in there too."

Cadance smiles nervously. "Oh yeah, I forgot. It's nine months ago." A gem is flying to her and Cadance ducks to dodge. The pink alicorn yells. "What are you doing?"

"Tell me who you are." Sunset takes the halberd from the armor beside. "The invasion really happened 6 months ago." Then the orange dragon points at the pink alicorn. "Tell me where princess Cadance is."

'Cadance' shakes her head and smiles, then her body is changing and reveals a black caribou with antler. Sunset senses a magic circle on his forehead.

The black stag introduces. "My name is Goris. I am a soldiers of Lord Strom."

"I bet that old stag is handled by Diana."

Sunset rushes to the black stag. A smoke is appeared at his spot and Sunset sees many blades in the smoke. When the smoke is faded, many crystal ponies guards are surrounding her. The orange dragon takes the halberd up and smiles, then she charges at the soldiers.

Twilight and Spike are struggling to go through the blizzard while the phoenix flies through it like nothing. The purple unicorn sees the blue line connecting to Spike's chest.

Twilight yells. "I don't think we can go through this."

"What are you saying? We can do it, and I can find out what this line is?"

"You see it? I think we should go faster before we die of cold."

The phoenix flaps the wings and flies faster. Twilight and Spike are ready to jump down. When the phoenix flies through the Crystal Empire, the purple duo jump down from it. Spike catches Twilight in midair and slowly flies down on the roof.

Following the blue line, they see a black cat is holding the Crystal Heart and watching the castle. The purple duo stops and hides under the roof to watch the cat.

Suddenly, some force is levitating them and the purple duo is coming to the cat. The black cat looks at them. "You can't hide from anyone with a blue line connected to you." Diana puts them down. "You must be Twilight and Spike, right?"

"Yeah." Twilight rubs her head and looks at the cat. "Hmm... you look like Amelia but in black. Are you dying your fur, Amelia?"

Spike giggles while Diana just slaps her head. Diana huffs. "Amelia is my little sister, and she just comes back to his world."

Spike pats the cat's head. "But at least you are cuter than your sister. I like your fur."

"Thanks. Anyway, you should go now. Something is wrong in this castle." Diana gives Spike the heart. "This artifact is connecting to you. "

Twilight looks at the heart and sees the red line is connecting something under the castle. Twilight suggests. "I think you should keep this heart. You are Amelia's big sister so I can say that you are as powerful as her."

"Plus, this line is not going to disappear, right?" Spike rubs Diana's neck. "Aww, you look so cute." Diana bites his claw and huffs. Spike rubs his claw. "Fine. We'll go, just keep the Crystal Heart for safety "

Spike carries Twilight to the crystal castle to investigate the problem in this place. The black cat looks at the purple dragon and sighs. "Hope Sunset doesn't know about his reincarnation."

Silver lands on the cloud and looks at the soldiers. Blinking her eyes one time, she ses closer, blinking another time, she sees many beasts are following the soldiers without problem.

"Looking good. From here to Arkala they have one day to go." Silver is setting a map in her system. "Plus they have to go through a jungle to get to the city."

The eagle flicks hee feather, then blows it. The feather changes into a mini jet and flies to the light brown stag, then it shoots something to him, and it flies back to the eagle.

The stag with the beast tattoo on his chest raises his hoof to command his soldiers to stop, then they start camping outside the jungle. The light brown stag commands a scout to investigate the jungle.

When the scout comes back, he commands that there is nothing inside except the wild animals, plus, this jungle is huge. The brown stag nods and commands the soldiers to set up the magic stones to warm themself.

Inside the tent, the stag is watching the map to see the shortest way to arrive at Akalar. A brown yak comes inside and reports. "Lord Hrathr, we have some information of the rebellion."

"Oh, tell me."

"They are led by a giant eagle. In that battle, the blue minotaur named Ox killed nearly a hundred of the soldiers." The brown yak flips another paper. "And they only used about 500 soldiers to capture the city."

Hrathr taps his hoof. "Anything else." The brown yak shakes his head. "I am interested in that giant eagle. Did you have anything about that eagle, Jazzing?"

"Nothing sir, except the musket caused no damage to her." The yak gives a paper. "This is her appearance."

Hrathr looks at the paper and sees that the eagle is nothing different than the normal one, except the silver feather. Hrathr commands. "Release the beast to clear a way in the jungle."

"Yes sir."

The brown yak leaves the camp. Hrathr is feeling that something is spying on him. Taking a look around the camp, he sees nothing. "Maybe I am just too caution."

Silver looks around the camp with her eyes to see where they put the food. When she sees the food, she marks it, then flies back to the jungle camp.

Aria and Ox are setting the camp in the jungle. The duo sees Silver is walking in the camp and looks around, then she takes the MRE and commands a soldier to go back to the HQ to make this.

Silver goes to the tent to meet Aria and Ox. The blue minotair points at the MRE. "What is this thing?"

Silver explains. "Just my food. I just want to make this type of food easier to carry in our camp." The eagle gives this to Ox. "Here, take a look."

Ox takes it and analyzes. "What is the MRE?"

"Meal, Ready-to-eat. Just a light weight food." Silver smiles. "But it can keep the soldier away from starving."

"But you can make the canned food, you know?" Aria takes out the canned food. "Equestria and other countries have this kind of food. Easier to make than the MRE."

"Fine. But I don't understand why our opponent uses the food that must be transported by wagons and carts." Silver rubs her chin. "Not going outside much?"

Aria laughs. "You got me. Anyway, who led the soldiers?"

"Well, a stag named Lord Hrathr, I assume." Silver sighs and turns to her soldiers. "You take others to take out the beast. Some beasts goes inside this jungle."

The soldier bows and goes away. Ox recognizes that name. "Ah... Lord of Beast. Bet that he is sending some dogs that have ice on its shoulder?

Silver nods. "You guess right. Are our traps ready?"

"It's ready." Aria puts the sniper rifle on the table. "We only need one sniper to scare them away."

"Right..." Silver turns away. "I will use it. Ox, you follow our soldiers to fight against the beast with Aria."

Ox and Aria leave the tent to prepare their thing.

Following the red line, Twilight and Spike are led to the basement. The purple duo examines the basement to see if there is some secret way inside the wall.

Twilight accidently clicked on the bottom. The wall is slowly turning into a door. Spike and Twilight look at each other, then they decide to open the door slowly and go inside.

Inside the door, they see many stags guarding a door. Spike counts them and finds that there are at least 20 stags inside.

Twilight hides behind a wall and whispers. "What will we do now? Sneak in or burst in?"

"Are you serious? No way we can sneak a room like that." Spike looks at them and sees that they have some barrel of oil. "Look like they will commit suicuide if their mission is failed."

"... then we can't use fire." Twilight's hooves are lighting. "Hope that this will help."

Twilight slams her front hooves and the floor is freezing time by time. The stag doesn't know what that is. When the ice just touches them, they are frozen immediately.

Spike admires. "Wow, where did you get this spell?" Twilight turns away and feels sick when remembering something. Spike drags the unicorn. "Nevermind."

The door opens and they see the old stag without antlers trying to do something with Princess Candance. The pink alicorn is trying to resist. "I... wo..won't follow you."

The old stag grits his teeth. "Where did she get that strength?"

A blast hits directly the old stag and he gets slammed on the wall. Twilight and Spike run to Cadance and release her.

Cadance hugs them. "Thank Celestia that you are here. I through I will be brainwashes."

Spike looks at the old stag. "Who is this? He tries to brainwash you."

"His name is Strom. One of the lord in Atlas." Cadance sighs. "He also commands Shining Armor to attack Ponyville."

"I see."

The trio feels an earthquake on the castle. Spike and Twilight carry the princess of love outside the basement.

Diana looks at the heart and it returns to normal. The ponies inside the castle are confused to see what happens.

Diana giggles. "Look like they are successful. And someone comes here with nothing, right..." the black cat turns to the right. "Puppy?" Crescent comes out from the corner as Diana turns behind her. "And the ninja."

A pony dressed like a ninja is jumping out of the hiding spot. She lands on the cat. "You know us along."

"The one who grabs the phoenix's tibia to come here." Diana folds her paw. "You are really a ninja, not a fake one.'

Crescent sits next to Diana. "What are you, cat? You look stronger than you look."

"Heh, just a normal cat." Diana giggles and sees an explosion is coming from the castle. "Looks like I have to return this heart."

The ninja looks at the wolf and sits next to her. Diana flies to the explosion and smiles. She is sure that they will succeed.
