Aquaman of Equestria

Origins and Stories…..The Main six finding out that everything that glitter isn't gold

Celestia pov

I was looking out towards the city of Canterlot, a beautiful city that rested on the side of a mountain that thankfully never had to worry about falling thanks to numerous spells keeping Canterlot from falling, and smiled at my little subjects as they wandered throughout the streets while setting up various decorations for the upcoming festival. I also noticed some of Twilight’s friends helping out as well.

“Sister, the festival is going well.” I heard my sister, princess Luna, say as she stood to the right of me. Princess Luna was a mature woman with lightly tan skin and light blue eyes and her hair resembled that of the night sky with stars and a few constellations twinkling in it. Her outfit was that of a dark, navy blue sleeveless dress with the hem of it glittering a bit with a few pieces of regalia, which were black with her necklace and crown having a crescent moon embedded on them, completing her look. I also noticed the Magicrystal embedded in her forehead, hiding just below her crown.

“And it seems that Twilight and her friends are enjoying themselves.” I heard another voice say before I looked to my other side and saw my niece, princess Cadence standing next to me along with her husband who is also my former student's older brother Shining Armor. Cadence was a fair skinned woman with violet colored eyes. Her hair was actually three different colors which was pale yellow, magenta, and purple and was curled slightly at the ends. She wore a light pink, long sleeved dress with the sleeves gradianting to purple and like me and my sister, she wore regalia that was gold with her crown having a single purple gem in it.

Shining Armor was a rather tall and bulky man with hair that was three different shades of blue which was light, dark and regular and had teal colored eyes. His outfit was that of a fancy red suit and dress pants with the collar and cuffs of the suit being gold colored and he had a blue sash around his chest. Completing his look was a sword strapped to his side, clearly showing off his former guard status before marrying Cadence. “Yeah, especially that Pinkie girl. It looks like she’s having a blast.” Shining Armor said with a small chuckle.

I nodded in agreement while looking out towards my and my sister’s kingdom before noticing in the distance. “Hmm? What could that be?” I asked aloud while seeing massive airships coming towards our kingdom.

(Third person pov)

Everyone was having a blast during the festival, enjoying the music, games, and festivities. The air was practically filled with the sounds of laughter and shouts of joy of everyone attending the festival with some even thinking that nothing could possibly ruin such a fun event. But suddenly they felt the ground shake, confusing all of them before they grew afraid as they think it was an earthquake and that it might cause Canterlot to fall despite the spells keeping it from doing so. A loud panicked cry caused everyone to turn to see a woman pointing at something in the sky and look towards the direction the woman was pointing only to see a massive fleet of airships with a dark cloud following them as they flew towards the city.

Upon seeing them, everyone began to panic with some even beginning to run towards the exits of the city, thinking that the city was being invaded. However, a small group of women and young boy stare at the approaching airships with some fear and concern. “Twilight, where did those airships come from?” one girl asked with a bit of a southern accent to her voice. She had green eyes and blonde hair with the end being tied up by a red hair tie and freckles adorning her cheeks. She wore a red flannel shirt and jeans with a pair of brown, shin length boots on her feet with an equally brown stetson on her head.

“Who cares if they want a fight they got one!” another girl said with a tomboyish voice. She had magenta colored eyes and rainbow colored hair that almost looked like a buzz cut. She wore a white shirt with a blue sports jacket and shorts along with black tennis shoes with black fingerless gloves.

“Rainbow Dash you can’t seriously expect that we’ll be able to fight them are you?” a third woman asked the rainbow haired girl. This woman had fair skin and brilliant blue eyes with long styled lashes and her hair was purple and curled stylishly. She wore a white blouse with puffy sleeves and a purple knee length skirt with designer boots finishing off her appearance.

“R-rarity’s right R-Rainbow Dash.” The fourth woman said in a shy voice. She had light skin with long light pink hair and light blue eyes. She wore green baggy pants along with brown sandals, with a long sleeve yellow turtleneck sweater finishing off her appearance.

“Maybe they’re just here for the party?” the fifth woman suggested, her voice slightly high pitched and squeaky. She had dark skin with pink hair that was both messy and curly at the same time and like Rarity and the shy girl, she had blue eyes. She wore a simple t-shirt that had pictures of cupcakes on the front with a bright pink sweater tied around her waist and had equally pink shorts.

“Twilight, I think we need to get the princesses down here!” A short boy said nervously. He had green eyes and green hair and he wore purple pants with a green T-shirt with a purple jacket over it along with green tennis shoes. The boy looked like he was around fourteen or fifteen years old.

The final woman, who had indigo colored hair with a single pink stripe in it and wore a white long sleeved shirt with a purple vest over it and a purple skirt with knee length boots completely her look, looked at her friends and nodded. “R-right! Let’s go everyone!” she said and they all began to book it towards the castle, pushing past the panicking crowd as they did so.

Once they reached the castle, they all immediately ran towards the throne room to inform the princesses of the situation. But they didn't know things were going to get even worse.

Outside the castle, the airships had landed and once the doors opened, an army that wore black and silver armor while wielding different types of weapons ranging from swords to axes with a few having massive hammers.

But what was more important was a figure standing in front of the army. The figure was definitely a woman based on her body shape. She wore a black leather bodysuit with pieces of armor on her wrist, ankles, and shoulders with a chest plate. She had dark skin with dark purple hair in a mohawk shape with light blue eyes, but what surprised anyone looking at her, was the shattered Crystal that was on her forehead.

She looked around for a moment before looking towards the castle and frowned. “Move, capture the civilians and get rid of the guards while a few of you follow me towards the castle.” she ordered the creatures behind her while walking towards said castle. They immediately obeyed as a huge number of them rushed towards the people who had not ran away yet but immediately started to do so when the creatures charged at them, screaming the whole time while a few of the creatures followed the woman towards the castle only for a large number of armored soldiers charged at the creatures with a loud battle cry.

She raised her right hand before swiftly pointing at the soldiers, causing the airships to open fire on them and sending them flying from the resulting explosions of their cannons missing and hitting the ground, filling the air with screams of pain and cannonfire. While that was happening Twilight and the others had made it to the throne room and burst through the doors.

“Princess Celestia, Princess Luna! We have trouble outside the castle!” Twilight exclaimed and to prove her point, a loud explosion went off outside, rocking the castle a bit.

“We know Twilight, we are currently organizing the Guard to try and repel the invaders. However, we did not expect such an attack and may not be able to fend them off any time soon.” Celestia said with a grim look on her face.

Just then the throne room doors were knocked off their hinges and walked in was the armored woman with the creatures flanking her. She looked around before seeing the princesses and Element Bearers and grinned. “Finally!! Found you~” she said before pulling out a large orb that had a green mist inside it.

Shining Armor immediately stepped in between the woman and his friends and family while drawing his sword. “Who are you and why are you invading Equestria?!” he demanded as he held his sword in front of him.

The armored woman just grins before pulling her arm back before saying. “The name is Tempest Shadow.” she said before throwing the orb fast enough for Shining Armor to be unable to knock it away in time. It then hit the marble floor in front of him covering him in a green mist and making him cough while the others backed away.

“Shining!” Cadence called out to her husband but got no response. The mist then cleared and much to their horror, Shining Armor was turned to stone with him having a wide-eyed expression of shock and horror. “NO!” Cadence cried out, rushing to her husband only for another orb to hit her, making her scream in pain as she too turned to stone.

“Cadence!” Twilight cried out in despair as more orbs were thrown at them only for them to be caught in a golden aura. Tempest Shadow clicks her tongue in annoyance when she sees Celestia’s hand outstretched, her crystal glowing with a golden color and a serious expression on her face.

“You will not turn anyone else to stone Tempest Shadow!” Celestia said before launching the orbs back at her, making Tempest Shadow dodge them.

Tempest frowned before grinning, Celestia was confused before one of Tempest's soldiers jumped through the window behind her catching her off guard for a moment which was all she needed before tossing and orb at her feet with it immediately bursting open and she was slowly turning into stone.

“Twilight!! You and your friends must escape and go to the land of the hippogriffs, they can-” she couldn't finish as she was completely turned to stone just like Shining Armor and Cadence.

“Sister!/Celestia!” both Twilight and Luna shouted in despair before Luna turns to Tempest with a glare and began to fire magic from her hands at both Tempest and her soldiers. “Go Twilight! I will try to keep them busy!”

Twilight hesitates for a moment before she and her friends started running away but not before seeing Tempest jumping over Luna while dropping another orb in front of her and turning her into stone. “STOP THEM!! DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!!” Tempest shouted while running after the Main Six and Spike.

Loud footsteps were heard as Tempest’s soldiers gave chase to the group, making them run even faster. “They’re gaining on us!” Rainbow Dash shouted as she flew above the group with transparent looking wings on her back.

“We need a plan right now!” Applejack shouted next as Twilight tried to think of a plan to help them escape.

Twilight tried to think of anything to help them before getting an idea. “Everyone get close, I'm going to use a long distance teleportation spell!” she said while the crystal on her forehead started glowing brighter and brighter.

“Is that even safe?!” Spike asked her but they all did get close to her.

“I have no idea!!” Twilight said back just as Tempest threw another orb at them.

There was a bright flash of purple before Tempest saw that where gone leaving an empty castle hall. “GOD DAMN IT!!” She yelled before punching a hole through a wall and glared at her soldiers. “Go and find them now!!! I want that twilight sparkle back here right now!!!” She demanded while walking away.

They nodded nervously and ran out to look for them as Tempest walked back to the airship. After a while, she made it to the airship she arrived in before heading towards her quarters where she picked up a crystal shaped mirror and waited before a shadowy figure appeared in the mirror. “I’m sorry Storm King, one of the princesses Twilight Sparkle and her friends escaped.” she reported to the figure.

The Storm King growls in anger upon hearing that. “Seriously?! How’d you fail to capture her?! I don’t care about her stupid little friends, I needed the princesses! Without all four of them, I can’t harness their power for my own purposes!”

Tempest shook a little in fear as she was a little scared of the Storm King before she steeled her nerves before responding. “I-I have a group of soldiers tracking her down now she couldn’t have gotten far.” she said while trying to calm down the Storm King.

“Not good enough! Have the entire army search for! Search the land! Search the sky! Hell, search the sea if you have to! JUST FIND HER!!” the Storm King bellowed and the force his shout shook Tempest’s room a bit and nearly cracked the crystal. “Fail me again and I’ll remind you what happens to those that dare fail the Storm King. Understand Tempest?”

She nodded before the crystal mirror in her hand went dark and she unconditionally rubbed at the crack crystal on her forehead from when she was just a child.

(Unknown location)

There was a flash of purple light before Twilight and her friends fell to the ground in a pile followed by them groaning in pain. “Next time Twilight, make sure you make the landing more bearable.” Spike said while Fluttershy was sitting on top of him.

“I couldn’t exactly do that as we were trying to escape Spike.” Twilight said back as she pushed Pinkie off of her as she sat up. They all started getting up and looking around before finding themselves inside a dense forest surrounded by trees.

“So, sugarcube, do you know why Celestia told you to go to the hippo’s specifically?” Applejack asked while they walked through the forest, they noticed it was the Everfree Forest which made them be on edge as they knew the dangers lurking inside the forest.

“I don't think she meant hippo's, Applejack.” Twilight said while looking around the forest nervously.

“M-maybe she said something else then?” Spike questioned while clinging onto Twilight as he didn't like being in the Everfree forest.

“Maybe, but we won’t be able to find out here in Equestria. Not while Tempest Shadows forces are lurking around. Which means we might have to find help outside of Equestria.” Twilight said and that made everyone more nervous as they don’t know what could be waiting for them outside of Equestria’s borders but knew they had to do it if they wanted to save their home and everyone they care about.

They walked for hours until it was getting dark outside and decided to set up camp before Applejack and Rainbow dash volunteered to watch out for danger.

While that was happening on the ocean near a small city a group of fishermen were having trouble trying to pull in today's catch. “Lift with your backs, damn it!!” The captain yelled over the loud crashing waves of the ocean.

“We’re trying! But this catch is a lot heavier than usual!” a fisherman shouted back as he pulled on the net.

“That means we got a really big haul this time!” the captain yelled, a hint of glee in his voice.

As three fishermen tried to pull on the net again before there was a violent splash against the boat that caused them to fly into the air while screaming before plunging into the ocean's depth. The crew were shocked and horrified by the turn of events before they could do anything, those same fishermen were violently tossed back onto the boat. “What the hell?!” One of them said before the boat began jerking violently then began to be pulled towards civilization much to all of their shock. While this was happening, none of them saw a figure underneath the water pulling on the chain with glowing golden eyes.
