7 Wise Creatures/The Winged Scourge
Author's Note
The Seven Dwarfs WW2 cartoons were the ones I enjoyed the most which is why I started with them. These 2 stories are in a Alt Universe (Twilight Sparkle and The Seven Creatures) of an Alt Universe (Twilight and Friends) in which other creatures beside Ponies and Dragon are Anthro : Griffons, Hippogriffs, Yaks, Changelings And Kirins
More information about this project here and if you think this idea sounds crazy there’s already [a story that turns The Young Six into The Avengers
When I describe Sandbar as somewhat elderly I mean that he's pretty old, grey mane, a few wrinkles, wears glasses and has a beard (Similar to the actual Doc) he looks way older than his future appeareance (his Last Problem appearance) but he's younger than Granny Smith his hooves and arms are still good/in contact)
And to avoid confusion Sandbar's the only (somewhat) elderly creature, the other 6 creatures are the same age they were in Season 8, 9 in Autumn's Case](https://www.fimfiction.net/story/456881/the-revolutionary-six)
7 Wise Creatures/The Winged Scourge
A big sign reading Reserved for The Seven Creatures, among many more which includes no trespassing, diamond, rubies and gemstones in here and many war posters were displayed near a mine, were the said amount of creatures were currently working in.
"We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig, in a mine the whole day through, we dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we like to do!" 4 creatures 2 from the allied places and the other 1 from a neutral and one from a corrupted nation as a deer pulled a minecart with a sleep yak on the rim.
"it ain't no trick to get rich quick" a female hippogriff which was from one of the United Nations Mount Aris said, mining trying to reach a diamond in the ground. "If you dig, dig, dig with a shovel or a pick." a male griffon added which was one of the neutral nations Griffonstone, mining away the last of the rock with his pickaxe and then using a shovel to pull out a white gemstone.
"In a mine!" a female changeling whispered which still manged to echo in the mine, she one from the corrupted nation, luckily this one isn't a spy instead it's against everything that's happening in it's homeland The Changeling Hive. "In A Mine!" a female dragon which was from one of the United Nations the Dragonlands called out which echoed in the mine.
"Where a million diamonds..." the 4 creatures stopped mining and trailed off listening for a "SHINE!" their voices echoed back.
"We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from morning until night, we dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight!" the latter creatures sung as a pony from the main Untied Nation Cantertlot/Ponyville tapped a diamond with a mallet, it sounded real so he threw it into 1 of 3 bags, he then divided a pile of diamonds into the 3 bags
"We dig up diamonds by the score!" the hippogriff began as the somewhat elderly pony divided another pile of diamonds into another 3 bags.
"A thousand gemstones sometimes more! But we don't know what we dig 'em for, we dig dig dig a-dig dig!" the dragoness and then the griffon and changeling added as the pony threw the last diamond in a bag, picked up a ruby and tapped it with a mallet only for it to sound metal, knowing it was worth less he tossed behind himself.
A male crystal pony which was from the main corrupted nation The Crystal Empire, luckily just like the changeling he was against everything in his homeland and was lucky enough to escape before he was discovered and caught. Canterlot once knowing he wasn't a spy and could be trusted disguised his appearance to make him look like a normal pony.
He swept up the ruby along with a few other diamonds, gemstones and rubies into a dustpan and dumped them into a bag, the pile made a surprisingly loud sound.
"Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho hum!" the Seven Creatures sung as they walked out of the mine all carrying bags over their shoulder "Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho we'll win this war we know!" (Have no idea what they said here)
"Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho it's off to buy we go, we'll do our part with all our heart!" they all casually walked over a log which was over a pretty high drop which also led into Ponyville.
"Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, we all must help you know, we'll win the war with 5 for 4 heigh-ho-LOOK!" the pony said dropping his bag causing everycreature to crash into each other. What the elderly stallion was pointing to turned out to be a postoffice taking war savings for certificates.
"There it is!" the pony picks up his bag of diamonds, gemstones and rubies and dashes into the postoffice shortly followed by the other 6 creatures, the dragoness closing the door behind herself causing the crystal pony to crash into the door. He looks around to find the bank doing the exact same thing as the postoffice, cheering he picks up his bag and runs inside.
"Heigh-ho!" the pony calls out as he walks out the postoffice with a pile of war saving certificates in his arms "Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, we all must help you know, we'll win the war with 5 for 4, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho." the 6 creatures sung, the griffon holding some of his certificates with his tail, the hippogriff balancing some on her head, the yak carrying them on her back, the changeling hiding all of them in her hat, and the dragoness having tied her nose with one of her certificates.
"Heigh-ho, we have found our gold, (Only word I could make out is gold) we've done our part with our all heart heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho heigh ho heigh ho, heigh ho heigh ho heigh ho!"
The crystal pony walked out of a bank with his war saving certificates except unlike the other 6 creature's certificates his weren't in a pile instead they were in a nice stack, he sees his friends and is about to catch up to them only to trip and drop his stack of certificates, he picks them up and rushes up to his friends.
A wanted poster was placed up on a brick wall but rather than displaying a criminal or an escaped convict it instead showed a bug, more specifically a mosquito.
Public Enemy Number #1 The Malaria Mosquito, wanted for the spreading of the deadly disease Malaria, costing millions their working hours, and overall bringing sickness and misery to many parts of Equestria. Most Malaria cases come from The United Nations. Keep in mind although some highlights are small, like in Griffonstone, or the Corrupted Nations, the exact number these represent are estimated to be more than a 100, a few hundred maybe.
It shows a map of Equestria, certain parts of kingdoms are highlighted in red which represents the amount of Malaria cases, the smallest highlights coming from places like Griffonstone Yak Yakyakistan and The Corrupted Nations the biggest highlights coming from Canterlot, Ponyville, The Dragonlands and Mount Aris.
These flying, pesky, annoying, tiny, blood sucking and deadly criminal are linked to their crimes through a cycle of disease transmission that could not exist without a creature or mosquito, each depended on the other for the existence of the dreaded Malaria.
The next frame shows an illustration on the left of an equine, and on the right an illustration of the equine bed ridden, mosquitoes inside yellow arrows which represent the Malaria Cycle.
Another thing to keep in mind is that only female mosquitoes and suck creature blood, males on the other hand prefer flower nectar. Once a female mosquito emerges from its egg as a grown adult, it hasn't come in contact with creature blood meaning it doesn't carry Malaria, but we'll learn how it becomes a Malaria carrier. Once it gains flight it'll often go for the nearest place of civilization and sometimes swamp houses.
An illustration of a female mosquito is shown only for it to turn into an animation, she takes flight, struggling a bit, but once getting used to it, she flies over to swamp and lands near a swamp house.
Locking doors and windows won't be enough to keep this blood sucker out, cause she'll just enter through the crack in said doors and windows and sometimes cracks in the wall. She infects a bunch of different species, but how she infects them is all the same.
She first injects saliva to make penetration with her needle easier, which is also how she sucks blood from dragons, hippogriffs etc, she then sucks her victim's blood along with the Malaria parasites. She then finds a dark and cool place to rest for a few days to digest the blood, despite this the disease parasites are not harmed, quite the opposite they actually multiply.
The female mosquito gets into the swamp house through a crack in the window and once inside lands on the bed ridden equine's arm and then feeds on some of the zebra's Malaria parasite infested blood. She then flies out of the house floor through the window crack, she had entered through and into the bottom floor through a crack in the door where she rests, it stomach getting smaller, but the parasites multiplying.
After those few days are over, hungry again the female will fly off in search of a civilization or another remote place to feed off of.
She flies out of the ground floor and away from the swamp house, eventually finding her way out of the swamp altogether and makes her way to a remote area which in this case was an apple farm.
Unlike the zebra this earth pony mare is actually happy and healthy, owns a apple farm, successful business with the farm, and is overall satisfied with her life but little does she know she's about to fall victim to this blood sucking, disease spreading vampire bug. She injects saliva which makes penetration easier she sucks the pony's healthy blood and in exchange she injects the Malaria parasites in her bloodstream.
Just like how she originally infected the zebra she lands on the mare's arm, penetrates her coat and skin and feeds off her healthy blood and injects the Malaria parasites into her bloodstream. Luckily she has the right medications to treat Malaria, but only some of the symptoms.
"If she has the right medications, she will not die but at the same time she'll never be truly cured, she would be in poor health, she'll slowly lose everything, with no new apple trees to plant due to her not able to pick apples will result in her already planted trees wilting away and the apples rotting. Her other crops will also die, the barn and fences left in states of disrepair and she'll be unable to provide for her family.
If you multiply this mare's suffering by thousands, you get millions of bits lost, and all of this has been caused by a tiny criminal which has the proportions of a giant monster, if you want to combat this evil this is what you must do.
This metaphor is represented by a scaled up illustration of the female mosquito with it standing over the now ruined apple farm and barn.
A pop noise was heard which caused the film to burn away, Autumn Blaze got smacked in the face with the cap of the film reel, which knocked her back, the cap was pushed out by tangled film tape. She managed to stuff the film back in just barely managing to place the cap back on only for it to pop off again this time managing to knock her off her hooves, which also created a mess of film tape on the floor.
"Welp there goes 2 weeks of waiting for that film to be delivered." Sandbar sighed swatting at the air as a sign that he'll clean the film tape mess later.
"Luckily for the rest of you I've watched this film enough times to memorize the second part of the film." the now young pony explained to the other 5 creatures.
"Hey Doc, what part of that film was scary?" Gallus asked "I don't get it" Silverstream added who had eaten her bag of popcorn, before the film had even started.
"I think I lost my appetite" Ocellus says, her face green from disgust, she then pours her bottle of Liquid Love onto the floor. "I thought we were gonna watch a horror movie." Smolder complains capped off by throwing her bag of popcorn away.
"Yak thinks Doc pony has weird taste in horror movie." Yona states who had eaten very little out of her small popcorn bag, "Come on everycreature at least one of you had to find that scary" the formerly somewhat elderly pony said, getting head shakes from all his friends. "What were we watching again?" The now talkative kirin asks fluttering her eyelashes, a random thing she does.
"Look what makes that film scary is that if you get infected by one of those Malaria mosquitoes not only will you end up in poor health which is basically between life and death your whole life will fall apart you'll lose everything!" the pony explains empathize on the everything, which ended up getting worried expressions from all his friends except Smolder.
"That's a scary thought and all but we don't live anywhere near those Malaria mosquitoes." the no longer sneezy dragoness counters crossing her arms.
"Oh yeah well guess what i caught while digging around in the pond next to our house?" Sandbar asks, then pulling out a jar containing a live Malaria mosquito, which looked exactly like the illustration in the film, which manages to freak the dragon out.
"You see the pond outside our house has turned into a swamp where female mosquitoes lay their eggs, we need to kill the mosquito larvae before they can hatch and become a menace to creature life within a mile of her birthplace, for Equestria and The United Nations!"
"For Equestria and The United Nations!" The other 6 creatures repeated saluting, Autumn struggles to get her hand out of her sleeve but once she does she somehow hits herself on the head with a cleaver.
Sandbar and Smolder were on a boat, the pony using a scythe to cut the weeds in the swamp, this makes it easier for fish to see and eat the mosquito larvae also known as wigglers, a single fish manages to 3 wigglers. While cutting the weeds Sandbar cuts some dragon sneeze flowers growing in the swamp which land on Smolder's nose, it turns red and she sneezes which propels the boat forward and allows the pony to a whole row of weeds.
Standing on a seapony's back Silverstream sprays vegetable oil on the water with a hose pack, a thin layer of vegetable oil will just be enough to suffocate the wigglers, without poisoning other wildlife. A fish ignores the vegetable oil while a row of wigglers suffocate and die. Curious Autumn scoops up a cup of swamp water and finds a lot of wigglers in there. "WIGGLERS!" she exclaims then pouring a little of olive oil into the cup killing them.
A grey griffon reaches in its bag and hands Ocellus a can of bug spray, an effective way of killing larvae and adult mosquitoes, like the vegetable and olive oil a thin amount will kill the wigglers without poisoning other wildlife. After a few seconds of spraying her face turns green and she starts coughing.
"I think it's best if I do this." the no longer grumpy griffon suggests grabbing the bug spray from the shy changeling.
Yona uses a shovel to redirect all the swamp water containing the wigglers from the pond down to the trail and into a hole she had dug. A yak colt sees the no longer sleepy yak and decides to help by digging a tunnel which redirects infected green water from a puddle into the trail and then the hole.
Gallus making sure the axe he was holding was sharp, hacks at a hollow tree stump that had been infected, the water flows out and goes in the hole. Once all the dirty pond water was in Sandbar and Ocellus fills them with dirt which should suffocate and kill the mosquito larvae.
"Do you think if something is planted here it will spread Malaria?" Ocellus asks "Yak Doubt it, plant not grow." Yona responds.
Meanwhile inside the creatures' house Autumn Blaze was basically spraying everything with big spray any entry ways like doors, windows, the chimney, cracks and holes in the wall. Unknowingly the mosquito Sandbar had caught earlier had escaped from her jar so when the kirin looks into the keyhole of the closet the mosquito flies out.
"Get back here!" She sprays the female mosquito a few times which brings it down, she then uses a flyswatter to smack it a few times, she then stomps it with her foot, before jumping on it. Despite all this the mosquito somehow survives and flies away.
"Darn mosquito" Autumn mutters, she sneaks up on the bug as she waits for the right tim to strike by lifting her fly swatter 5 other mosquitoes grab it and rip the horizontal wiring off it, catching the kirin off guard and leaving crooked vertical lines. "What the- AHHHHH!" she discards the broken fly swatter and is cornered by the 6 Malaria mosquitoes.
But right before the swarm can strike the kirin takes off her hat revealing a frog which eats the mosquitoes, she flutters her eyelashes and gives a thumbs to the frog which is revealed to be a male changeling.
Sandbar was the first one to notice that all the used cans in a trash pile still had liquid in them, which had turned green and now contained wigglers. Not wanting to take any chances he uses a shovel to load them all into a wheelbarrow, Yona pushes it along, a can on top of a tower almost falls over and spills the mosquito larvae infested liquid on her, she notices this a jerks the wheelbarrow forward dumping all of the cans into a hole which Silver covers with dirt.
With phase 1 killing the wigglers done, the Seven Creatures move onto the next phase protecting themselves from Malaria mosquitoes. Silverstream notices that their rain barrel is the only thing with water that hasn't been infected, so she places a circular screen covering.
Sandbar places screen coverings on the front and back door, Smolder on the windows and a blue hippogriff placed one on a circular window. Gallus covered the walls with construction paper as Autumn chased a mosquito a fly swatter which she could tell landed on the griffon's beak, she taps his shoulder and when he turns around she smacks him in the beak with the swatter luckily killing the mosquito.
Annoyed the griffon bonks her on the horn, with a hammer causing her eyes to go crazy like a pair of googly eyes. Not taking any chances Gallus then seals the cracks between the wooden boards with wood glue. The blue hippogriff and grey grffon from earlier cover the first 6 creatures bunk beds with large sheets of netting and Yona's bed with a medium sheet of netting to avoid being bitten by a Malaria mosquito incase they managed to fly into the cottage.
Nighttime comes and the Seven Creatures slept in their netting covered beds, in the first bunk bed Sand at the bottom and Gallus at the top, in the second one Silver at the bottom and Autumn at the bottom, and in the third one Smolder at the bottom and Ocellus at the top, as for Yona she of course had her own bed.
For now all Seven of the creatures could now sleep peacefully without the worry of being infected with Malaria from a female mosquito, ending up in poor health, between life and death and having their whole lives fall apart.
