Princess Celestia was preparing for the final stand between pony and griffin! She was currently in a large tent made of a fine purple material. The ponies had been fighting the griffins for the past ten years, all because those greedy griffins wanted more land and with no good reason for them to have it, Celestia refused. That was when the griffin emperor, Titus, declared war upon all ponies.

The princess was donned in full body armor made from gold and studded with large gems. These jewels weren't just for show however, they were all enchanted with a spell to heal the wearer if he/she happened to become injured on the battlefield. Outside she could hear all of her soldiers preparing themselves.

They were stationed on the north side of an almost completely leveled city known as Dodge city, meanwhile on the opposite side, the griffins were setting up their weapons. Mainly siege weapons and anti-magic fields!

Celestia was becoming impatient. she knew the war horns of the griffins would signal the start of the gruesome, final standoff between griffin and pony!

About 10 minutes later she heard the bone rattling sound of the large horns on the opposite side of the city.

The princess of the sun made one last check on her armor's enchantments and parted the curtains on the royal pavilion to reveal the army of pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies amassed before her! She made her way to the front of the formation thinking 'If only Luna were here...'.

Not only had Luna been the better warrior than her but the past 980 years had been rather sad. Everyday she yearned for her sister to return but she knew it was not yet the right time for her return!

Celestia pivoted on her hooves to face the army before her. "This is it mares and stallions! This is the final push! The scum that are the griffins will tremble before us as we tear through them! They will shake like frightened rabbits as we approach them! WE WILL SUCCEED!!! Shouted Celestia in the best royal canterlot voice she could muster. The soldiers cheered deafeningly! She held up her sword and shouted "CHARGE!"

The bodies of both Pony and Griffin were littered around the battlefield! Her coat and armor were stained red with the blood of the enemy! The survivors still standing were engaged in bloody fights around her and before her stood emperor Titus himself! His fur was a mottled brown and the feathers on his wings was black. There was a large scar running across his face.

"Ah, Celestia. How nice of you to join me." He said mockingly, smirking.

"This ends NOW, Titus!" She replied angrily

"And so it shall, with your demise! Let us fight!"

"And with that he unsheathed the large blade at his side. It was a two-handed sword a jewel encrusted pommel!

Celestia summoned a blade of pure magic.

Titus swung widely at Celestia, to which she replied by parrying and thrusting with her own weapon! Titus Blocked it and countered with a slash at her flank! The princess tried to block the sword but was too slow and suffered a long slash across her cutie mark! She winced.

They spent the next few minutes exchanging a flurry of blows! During this Celestia gained several cuts and Titus lost a wing, he didn't slow down however! There was a sudden explosion huge explosion to Celestia's right which distracted the emperor just long enough for her to thrust into his stomach!

"T-This c-cannot be!" He muttered hoarsely. Celestia puled her magical blade out of the Emperor, allowing a spurt of blood to escape the gaping wound, drenching Celestia in his blood! After a few seconds he toppled forward. He was dead before he hit the ground!

The solar Princess dispelled her sword spell and sat herself a few meters away from the corpse of the former Emperor.

A stallion clad in the blue armor of the lieutenants of the royal guard galloped up to her! " Princess! Twilight Velvet has fallen!" he announced worriedly.

"Take me to him, NOW" Celestia replied sternly. Silver Armour was the Captain of the royal guard and a good friend of hers.

She followed the lieutenant to a stretcher at one of the medical tents scattered around the warzone! The captain lay there, bleeding profusely from a long slash across his side! There was a nurse by his side.

"He passed about five minutes ago." She murmured sadly.

"He died honorably." Said the princess. "And his death was not in vain. Storm Surge. Who was he fighting with?"

"valor Sword and Nova Spark. Valor is mortally wounded however." Replied the lieutenant.

"Send Nova to inform his family!" And with that Storm Surge trotted off at a brisk pace to inform Nova Spark that he was to break the news to Armour's family. She then pointed a hoof at a random guard. "You! Gather a team of pegasi to investigate the source of the explosion!"

"Yes, Princess!" the Pegasus took off.

The recon team returned an hour later. One of the pegasi carrying a unicorn foal.

"You really think a FOAL was the cause of that explosion?!" She asked irritably

"Princess. All due respect but...IT'S BUCKING EYES WERE GLOWING WHITE!" the pegasus carrying the foal hissed angrily.

"Point taken."Celestia replied. "You may leave the foal with me. Dismissed" Celestia took the foal in her magic and lifted it over to her.

"Yes ma'am!" They all saluted and trotted off back to their respective tents. The foal had a white coat with a red mane and tail. It's eyes were a light shade of blue and it was a unicorn. and after closer inspection she found 'it' was a he.

"I think I shall name you....Bright Storm!"

Chrysalis felt a sudden magic spike in the dodge area. "What is this?" She asked herself. After using a spell to locate the source of the spike, she found a foal. "How intriguing..."

"We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion!" Celestia announced "My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle has done many extraordinary things whilst she's lived Ponyville! She even helped reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna. But today Twilight did something even more extraordinary! She created a new magic! Proving that without a doubt she is ready to be crowned Equestria's newest princess! Fillies and gentlecolts, may I present, for the very first time...PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" With that the purple alicorn cantered into the hall followed by four maids and four guards!

As she approached the maids burst into song " Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Behold, Behold, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Behold Behold, Princess Twilight sparkle!" As she reached the altar, Spike her small pet dragon walked up to her holding a purple pillow with a headdress sitting on top! I watched as Celestia levitated the jewel encrusted Tiara onto Twilight's head! She than proceeded royalty and family in tow to a set of doors on the side of the hall. She opened them and trotted out on to the balcony with Celestia and Luna. i listened from just inside with Cadence, Shining Armour, Blinding Armour, Twilight Twinkle and Nightlight, along with the other elements of harmony. Oh and Blueblood....not that the idiot deserves mentioning...

Twilight began to talk "A little while ago my teacher and mentor, Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville! She sent me to study friendship! But now on a day like today I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for each of you teaching me a thing about friendship! And for that, I will always be grateful. Today I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria! Thank you friends, THANK YOU EVERYPONY! After everypony had congratulated her, I trotted up to her.

"Hi, you must be Twilight Sparkle...I would just like to say....YOU BEAT ME THERE!" I shouted, waving my hooves around for emphasis

"Beat you where, Mr...?" She replied patiently.

"Bright Storm. And you beat me to the alicorn thing...I've spent the last ten years horn deep in books tryna find it and than...and than..."

"STORM, Stop harassing Princess Twilight Sparkle" Celestia shouted behind me.

"Yes mother. Sorry Princess."

The purple alicorn giggled. "So you must be the prince I've heard so much about..."

"Why yes I am....wanna know what gets me?"

"Go on..."

"Why we've never met in the castle grounds."

"That is kind of unusual..." She muttered to herself. "Well I gotta go...Ponies to see, Things to do..."

she trotted off towards her friends. I began to hear that strange music play out of nowhere again... "Not again.." I said to myself.

"Life in Equestr-" Twilight  began but I was gone before she even finished the first verse. I had teleported out in a puff of red light. I reappeared in the main dining room of the castle complex. I found Blueblood enjoying a banana split.

"Ah, Cousin! So unpleasant to see you!" He said.

"Why I love you too dear cousin" I replied mockingly.

"Shut up, you ruffian."

That was it...that imbecile had been continuously annoying me since he could talk. "You know that wall?" I pointed to the stone walls to my left. "Part of it's fake! There's a room full of gold and diamonds on the other side!" I announced.

"REALLY?!" He jumped out of his chair and galloped over to the wall. As he frantically scoured the walls with his hooves, I took a stance behind him and thrust my left foreleg out! One might say I split his banana! He screamed like a little girl and likely louder than Luna could shout!

"Got any grapes?" I asked sweetly before trotting off through a side door. I made my way to the courtyard, where a dozen or so guards were training. "Hello there noobs!" I shouted, announcing my entrance. I grabbed a mace of the weapons rack in the corner of the courtyard and shouted "SO WHO WANT'S A GO AT THE STORM-MEISTER TODAY?!" For several moments nopony raised a hoof.

But than Somepony shouted "I WILL" From the doorway to my left. I turned to see Shining Armour approach with a smug grin plastered on his face.

"Oh, Captain you're gonna regret that choice!" I replied hotly.

"Are you sure?"

"Oh yeah!" I said as he grabbed a sword enchanted to be harmless towards other living beings.

We began to circle each other slowly, keeping our eye's on each others weapons. Shining was the first to move in. I feinted to the right and struck him on the left side of his face whilst he was distracted with my ruse!  I moved backwards to give myself space and shouted "Aww, Cadence would be very unhappy if she saw you were getting your flank kicked by somepony who isn't even in the guard!"

"I'm gonna make you pay for that!" He retorted angrily, lunging at me! I dodged to the left but his sword struck my flank as I dived.

"You hit like a filly!" He charged me again! I dropped at the last moment and swept his legs out from under him in a sliding movement! "I thought you were captain of the royal guard, is that all you got?!" He managed to get back on his hooves. He unleashed a stun spell, which I countered with a recoil shield. He fell, stunned by his own spell. I trotted up to him and rested the head of my mace on his muzzle. "I would've thought you'd actually pose a challenge...." Just as Shining Armour began to regain his bodily functions, Celestia entered the courtyard followed by Twilight Sparkle and Cadence. "I feel sorry for ya' buddy" I muttered in his ear.

"Huh?" He asked.He than noticed The princesses. "Oh....I hate you."

"I feel so hurt." I smiled as they approached.

"Shiny....Did you just get your flank handed to you by a prince?" Asked Cadence.

"Erm....No?" He replied as I removed my mace and allowed him to get up.

"Oh Shining, if only you'd studied the offensive magic book I gave you last month." Said Twilight irritably

"Bright, I saw the whole thing...You did well!" said Celestia.

"Ummm, thanks...Mother..."

"Do you have any idea why BlueBlood is cradling his crotch in the dining room?" She asked, smirking knowingly.

"Why you can't suspect me of such a heinous crime, can you mother?" I Retorted in mock amazement.

"Well any way We're here because Princess Sparkle wishes to return to Ponyville, however She also needs to be able to function between her own desires, the weekly court she will have to hold in the town hall and the other duties of royalty. Your the only pony that has the knowledge to deal with this situation that is available. Would you kindly accompany Twilight to Ponyville and show her the ropes of being royalty?"

"But I don't wanna...." Twilight gave me dat face....Too much cute......CUTE OVERLOAD.....AHHHHHHHHHHHH "Fine...When do we leave?"

"In an hour." Cadence said.

"good enough for me." I replied.

"Soon....Soon I will be able to put my plan into action and rid this world of those dratted ponies..."muttered the queen joyously!

I stepped onto the chariot. Truth be told, these things had always made me nervous. Just as I was about to sit down, Discord puffed into existence underneath me. "HEY WATCH IT BUDDY!" I stumbled onto my face.

"Not cool" I muttered through the wooden floor of the chariot.

"Oops sorry. I wanted to show you something!" He conjured what appeared to be a big black screen in front of everypony present.

"Discord what is th-" began Celestia.

"SHHH just watch."

"I WOULDN'T SAY THAT! There's also Zebrica and griffonia!" Shouted Twilight in annoyance.

"Ooops, I'll change that later."

"Ok, Let's just leave before this gets any more... unusual..." announced Celestia

"I'M COMING" Discord screamed.

"No you're not." I replied

"But who would help you with all of those pranks?"

"Fair enough."

After a brief argument with Celestia about whether Discord could come, we were on our way...Discord laying on a 'candy-cloud' chained to the chariot...

"So Princess, how's it feel to suddenly just be royalty?" I asked

"Just call me Twilight, and it's pretty weird actually...." Twilight replied.

"I'm sure..."

"I mean, I just get wings one day and suddenly everypony wants my advice on EVERYTHING. It's not just weird, it's downright annoying!" She ranted.

"It may get irritating beyond belief, but you'll get used to it." I replied wisely...somehow...

"But what if I don't and it just drives me insane?!" She wondered nervously.

"Then you will have to find an outlet, which I'm sure someone as bright as you will be able to find." She blushed...'Did I just say that?' I wondered to myself.

"t-thanks..."

"Hmmmm I did just say that.....DISCORD?!"

"Yesssss?" He asked appearing on the seat beside me.

"What just happened?"

"Why you subconsciously flirted with The young, beautiful Twilight Sparkle!" Which elicited a groan from me, an eye roll from Twilight and a few giggles from the guards pulling the chariot. "what?"

"I'm just going to go on my own now..." Murmured The purple alicorn.

"Good idea!" I agreed. I jumped out of the chariot whilst Twilight spread her wings.

I laughed energetically as I fell. I lit my horn up, intended to use a low power teleportation spell! But I couldn't Seem to draw the magic to pull it off. My laugh turned to a scream as I contemplated what I would look like as a pancake. I watched in terror as the green foliage of White Tail woods got closer and closer! Suddenly, the wind in my lungs was pushed out by an unknown force! Than I realized that instead of seeing my apparent place of demise, I was staring into a purple mane....with pink highlights......oh...

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" She screamed!

"T-teleportation?"

"By JUMPING OUT OF AN AIRBORNE CHARIOT?"

"Yes." I muttered bluntly.

"And you didn't know that the magic reserves in this area are still almost non-existent from the fight between Discord and the Princesses all those years ago?"

"No, No I did not." I muttered. "Did you know that you make a great pillow?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, whatever."

"I would like to take this time to tell you that from this day forward I will think of you as best princess!" I announced. "If you save my Tartaurus ridden flank again you will be my hero. So yeah, I at this moment would like to rescind what I just said as I have realised just how that sounds! If I ever say anything like that again don't be afraid to cause me severe bodily harm."

"You. Are. An imbecile." She muttered.

"Why thank you... I don't feel so good..."

We touched down just outside the town hall.

"U-u-unicorns, were n-not mean't....to f-fly!" I announced before rolling off Twilight's extremely comfortable back and promptly Galloping to the nearest bush and releasing the contents of my stomach.

"Are you alright?" Asked Twilight as all the ponies in the vicinity stared in amazement at what they had just watched transpire. I nodded. "Why were you okay on the chariot?"

"M-magic..." I muttered, trying to get the taste of bile out of my mouth.

"Oh" She Murmured.

"C-can we like get to the library before something else happens to ruin my day?" I asked irritably.

"Yes but it was all your fault that your day was nearly ruined you know." She retorted.

"After you, miss Sparkle!" I said motioning my hoof in a random direction.

An earth pony approached us about halfway to our destination. "Princess Sparkle?" She asked. We stopped.

"Yes?" Replied the alicorn

"I hate to ask but will you help me with something?" Asked the pony.

"Well-" I cut her off!

"I'm sorry but the princess is feeling a little under the weather. But I'd be willing to help." I said winking in Twilight's direction.

I smiled at the prospect of having helped the purple alicorn as the earth pony escorted me to a tree...With a cat clutching one of the branches. "How cliche'd." I commented as I lowered the animal onto the pony's magic with my magic.

"T-thank you!" She said.

"No problem." I smiled wider.

"Silly do-gooder...." Laughed the queen as she watched the prince's antics. "General, send a small group of our most powerful drones into Ponyville. Just have them keep an eye on this prince...for now!"

"Yessssss your hignesssss" Replied a shadowy drone from within the shadows.
