Chromehounds Music-- Intro/Critical Battle

[Begin Song]

3 months have passed since Discord's death and the end of the Everfree Plague. By now Manehatten had been retaken, with Dagon forming the spear tip as it pierced deep into the Gryphon controlled city. As quickly as the city had been captured, it was retaken, only with a lot more casulties for the gyrphans. Dagon bashed their defences aside with ease as he tore through their ranks, anger fuleling his attacks. His anger directed at the Gyrphans for dare invading this peaceful land. (By now, you all should have read his bio, so you know where his origins lie, so you know why he would take this invasion personaly).

Soon the 3 Hour War was won by the ponies, it was named as such, for it was the shortest war ever fought by either side. The Gryphans declared war on Equestria at the beginning of the seige, but after the general witnessed the brutality of Dagon, he qas quick to rescend that deceration of war as he was held at spear point. Currently the ponies of Manehatten are building a statue dedicated to the pony who saved them all, Dagon Von Basilisk. Built of Bronz, it showed an Earh pony, standing before a Gryphan, covered in strange armor, standing on his back legs, his hooves on the pummel of a blade as he looked forward, a squad of pegasis flying overhead.

For those of you wondering, Dagon, thanks to an accident with Luna and Celestia as Filies, gained the ability to shape shift to best fit the situation. Although thats a story for another chapter, any way, as the Gryphans were home licking their wounds, King Neon Beak was approached by Celestia and Luna, asking for a peace treaty between Equestria and The High Lands, ancestrial home of the Gryphans. After this took place, Basilisk retired to the palace, eager to sleep after 2 major engagements.

The Dragons

Dragonforce-Where Dragons Rule

[Start of Song]

The Dragons were much easier to deal with then the Gryphons, due to their greedy nature. Celestia and Luna with the help of Dagon met with the God of Dragons Obthiron, who's horde was 15 times the size of Canterlot. It was a simple matter of imparitng to him and his children the location of large gem and such deposits. Soon The Badlands were the main distributer of gems and the like, some how with the introduction of something as simple as mining, the dragons seemed to be able to satiate their greed for the time being. It was like plugging a cork in an ever flowing faucet, it will only stop the flow for so long till it comes uncorked and all hell breaks loose, but thats another story for another chapter.

The Changlings

It was Cadance and Shining Armor who led the assault against the Changlings...or it would have been if this had been a rescue operation. A few weeks following the defeat of the Gryphons and Discord and the Alliance with the Dragons, Chrysalis, the changling queen approached Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, much to Cadance's anger. With her were a few of the ponies that were taken from their hospital beds during the plague. Chrysalis was quick to explain why the Changlings had done this, although to Cadance it sounded like an excuse not to get thrown into the dungen for her crimes.

"At first we thought we could use this plague to our advantage, till we discovered it blocked emotions, so we did what we had to, we stole a few ponies which we dubbed as samples and proceeded to try and find a cure." Celestia quickly gave her a questoning glare. "If your favorite and only food source was endanger, wouldn't you try to save it." Celestia hesitently nodded. "Well that was all it was at first, till he appeared" Celestia quickly asked what she ment by "He" which only got Chrysalis chuckling.

A deep rumbling came from down the hall as the sound of hooves clipping agaisnt the stone work. Soon a horrific sight greeted Celestia and Luna. A massive monster stood before the two of them.

"Let me introduce you to the one who changed my life. Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, meet, Old One Eye" The beast bowed to the 2 rulers and Cadance, then it spoke.

"It is my humblest pleasure to make both of your aquaitences." The creature bowed to them, it had a refined British accent.

What transpired next was probably the strangest occurance of off worlders ever. As The Generals of the Changlings and Luna, Celestia, The Mare 6, Basilisk who was disquised as a normal Pegasus, Cadance with her husband Shining Armor, and the Generals of Equestria, sat down to peace talk. It took many hours but soon the room was empty besides Cadance, Shining, Chrysalis, and Old One Eye who stood back.

"Cadance, I formally come before you to apologise for my actions at your wedding." Chrysalis then goes on to make amends for her. It took several more hours of persuadion from the Mare 6 and Shining, but lo and behold, Cadance and Chrysalis finally forgave one another.

Soon the arrangments were in place, and Equestria had gained another allie, which will come in handy in the future.

The Mare 6

Pinkie Pie- Upon returning to Ponyville from Canterlot, Pinkie seems to have taken to staying in Sugur Cube Corner now. A few of the others had noticed that she had taken to talking to herself more then ususal. Her mane and tail were deflated and she always had this creepy grin on. She still met with any of the Mare 6 or Spike when they came to visit, but always kept silent as the others talked. The others were beinning to worry for her, but thought it was just Pinkie being Pinkie, so they let sleeping dogs lie for a while.

AppleJack- Do any of you remeber that stalion I mentioned back at the beinning of this fic, well Applejack decided to ask him out. Can you all guess how it turned out, well if you said anything but he said yes, then you were wrong.  Ófærr was estatic when Applejack asked him out, he even confessed that he had been working up the nerve to ask out the farm pony a few weeks before the plauge hit and Applejack was called away to Canterlot. Since that fateful weekend of the two spending time together, Big Mac saw fit to ask if Ófærr would like to help with Apple Bucking season, which he whole heartedly agreed to. Now the two have spent the last few months, each day apple bucking and spending time together.

Rainbow Dash- Well, after many failed attempts to join the Wonder Bolts, Dash had decided to just take up rising through the ranks of the Weather Control fo Ponyville. With her help, the town's weather team became the most renounded weather control team in Equestria. She spends most of the time lounging around, pranking, or just being lazy.

Twilight Sparkle- While the other 5 had returned to Ponyville, she decided to follow Dagon back to the Eternal Library with Spike tagging along, much to his amusment. She spends her time reading the billions of books contained within its walls. In the first few weeks, she had pested Dagon about his past, even to the point of whispering to him while he was sleeping, whispering. "You feel like telling Twilight Sparkle about your past tommarow" for a good 4 weeks, each time he slept. Dagon for one found it quite adorable to say the least, although he caught himself stareing at her when she wasn't looking. Had he fallen for the caresmatic mare? This would require loss of sleep to sort out he quickly reasoned.

Rarity- Much to Spike's sadness, Rarity had fallen head over hooves for a young and upcoming Solo Artist from Manehatten, named Sugur Swing. Spike was devestated when he heard the news that they were going out, and quickly vanished from the Eternal Library where Dagon and Twilight were currently researching a few things. Rarity, although she knew of Spikes feelings, she knew there was to much of an age difference between the two of them. She hoped he would some day understand. She still doesn't have any idea that Spike has been devestated from this revelation that 6 years of work to try and woo Rarity had been all for naught.

Fluttershy- Fluttershy had taken to taking care of more of the Everfree Forest, from Hydras to Manticors. This pretty made up her free time when she wasn't spending time with the other girls. Although she did come across a stalion living in tune with the Everfree a few weeks ago. His name was Maple Leaf, and he had been living with an Albino Hydra named Amut. Fluttershy was quickly smitten with him and his ability to coax the most dangerous of the Everfree's denicens.

The Others

Spike and Celestia- After being devestated by the news of Rarity falling form somepony, Spike fled the Eternal Library, running for weeks while his mind raged against itself in an unending bid for closure. A month had passed and he found himself wandering the Badlands. While soul searching, Spike found himself caught in a dust storm, he was beginning to choke when he was enveloped in a golden aura. Turning he found himself dragged into an abandoned mine, which the Dragons had quickly exhausted upon discovering a vein of gold there. With himself stuffed in the darkness, he couldn't help but shiver, till he felt something press against his side.

"Hello Spike." Spike jumped, quickly recognising that voice.

"Celestia....what are you doing in here?! What are you doing in the Bandlands!? What are you doing out of Equestria!?" Spike began to hyperventalate before Celestia answered.

"I got news from Dagon, about what you were going through. I came to find you and bring you home. What I didn't count on was this dust storm. Badland dust storms lasts for weeks at a time. We are going to be stuck in here for a while." Celestia lay down next to Spike, who was lightly shivering at the prospect of being stuck. Thought that night was unlike anything he would experience. As he was falling asleep, he yelled out, tears of blood stinging his eyes as his body was forced to go through a rapid puberty. It lasted all night, with Celestia staying by his side th entire time. By the next morning, Celestia was cradling the now adult dragon's head. Spike now stood some 7 to 8 feet tall, his arms and legs muscular, and his tail was just as long as his body. His spines on his back and head now mimiced the same look as when he succumbed to greed.

The two of them spent a good week with one another, by the time the dust storm had lifted, Celestia and Spike had found themselfs madly inlove with one another. Upon returning to Canterlot the two of them entered into a secret pact of setting aside time for each other. It was hard explaining his current form to the others, all he could explain was that his mind did not match his body, and so it forced it into overdrive to adapt to his mind. Now his body matched his mind and he couldn't have been happier.

Luna- After her return to Canterlot soon after the 3 Hour War, Luna just went and relaxed.

The End of This Chapter, hope you all enjoy it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
