And so, the war with Loki was finally over, Equestria was rebuilding from the damages Loki and his army has done. Thor was back, alive and well and with his friends once more. The Princesses and the Royal Guards were in council with the Ponyheim army, all of which were helping with the rebuilding process as well as what to decide on what to do with the remaining soldiers and if Thor should return to Ponyheim.
CLING! Suddenly, there was a rattle of chains which made everypony turn in the direction of the sound where it was coming from. It was the remaining soldiers of Loki’s army.
Leading in front of them from behind Loki was somepony within the rankings of leading the army. It’s a unicorn stallion with sea green eyes, a red mane, a dark brown coat, and a light green star with a scroll on it as a cutie mark wearing black armor with green designs and black markings on his leg. It was none other than Captain Rune.
“I wish to speak to Odin!” Captain Rune exclaimed sternly. Many voices were heard in wondering, what should they do? Should the heroes give in, should they decline, should they run, should the heroes attack, so many choices! But when it was finally come to a response, it came. “Very well, I shall respond!” Odin nodded in understanding. “Darling, you should not just—“Frigga began to protest, but was cut off by her husband. “This one wishes to speak after the battle has ended. I shall hear him out.” Odin interrupted humbly before turning to Captain Rune.
“What is it you wish to speak with me?”
“I, as Captain of Loki’s Army, here that we…” Captain Rune sighed sadly. “Confirm our surrender to you.” Loki’s eyes widened at the captain before he glared at him, but couldn’t yell at him due to the muzzle covering his mouth. “So, even though the guards have arrested you and the army, you still wish to surrender?” Odin mused with a serious expression. “We await our punishment to be banished once more in the moon.” Captain Rune said. “Instead, you and your army’s punishment would be more fitting. You’ll serve under Equestria’s rulers instead of being placed in a jail cell or banished to the moon.” Odin explained.
“What?” The remaining soldiers gasped. Loki rolled his eyes and glared at them as if to say ‘Why must you take their offer and betray me?’. “You shall think of that as a way of apology by cleaning up your acts of destruction and repairing the damage that was caused.” Odin sternly explained to the soldiers.
“We…accept.” Captain Rune agreed while smiling and nodding. Loki let out a muffled groan in annoyance. “Tell me, Celestia, Luna, do you believe that they should join the Royal Guards?” Odin asked his old allies. “It’s sounds like wonderful idea, Odin.” Luna grinned. “You have our grateful thanks for this moment.” Celestia nodded in agreement. “It sounds fine by me.” Private Katoptris shrugged.
“So, do we have an agreement, captain?” Odin questioned Captain Rune. “Of course! We have found an agreement…with our new friends.” Captain Rune smiled while he walked over to the center of the square with the others. “Yay!” The ponies cheered happily. “I have to say…for somepony as strict as you, Odin, you did great.” Spike said to Odin with a smile.
“Thank you, Spike. It was…my adoptive son, Loki that caused all of this. I felt responsible for it. It was only fair that I tried hard to fix the mess as best as I could.” Odin replied in guilt. “But at least you tried.” Celestia reassured her old ally. “So, what shall you do now, old friend?”
“Return to Ponyheim with my wife and Thor and possibly punish Loki for his crimes. Your new guards shall help you with the recovery.”
Twilight and her friends looked down in concern, then back up at Odin while Twilight said, “Your highness…about Thor. Can he at least say goodbye to us before you all leave?”
“Of course, he may, Twilight Sparkle!” Odin replied with a smile.
Thor sighed sadly and looked at his friends. “I must return to Ponyheim, but I give you my word: I will return.” He explained. “Deal?” The Main Six and Spike hugged him for about five or ten minutes long before they responded, “Deal!” “Thor, we must go now.” Odin commanded his son.
“Yes, Father.” Thor nodded as he went to join his father. With that, the ruler of Ponyheim’s horn glowed and teleported his wife, Thor, the army, and Loki to the place they call home. Luna stopped a bit, looking worried. Celestia noticed it as she spoke up, “What’s wrong, Luna?”
“Yes…it’s my far sight vision…I can sense a new threat coming to Equestria.” Luna said to Celestia sternly and worried.
“We know: it’s Nexus, correct?”
“No, something else… more than one individual…corrupt versions of the Elements of Harmony…a group of ponies of evil… six more ponies will join the Elements of Harmony…”
“So, are we all here?” Gilda asked the members of Loki’s army. They were somewhere in the Everfree Forest and hiding from the Royal Guards. “Yeah, every one of us.” Rover remarked with a grunt. “War is over, yes?”
“Yeah, of course; Loki’s arrested by those lame ponies!”
“Now, what are we gonna do without him?” Discord asked in confusion. “With Loki gone, we’re nothing, Discord!” Trixie groaned to him. “At least we can possibly break him out if we know where the prison is.” Flim shrugged.
“But how?” Flam asked his brother curiously. “He could be imprisoned in Ponyheim!” Trixie commented, “Loki’s too smart to be placed in prison. He may break out some time in the future, being a god and all.”
“Now, that’s super true, Trixie. He’s all powerful and a master at magic; he can take care of himself.” Gilda nodded. “So, what shall we do now?” Spot asked. “Stay together?” Fido suggested. “Yeah, I think we should stick together as our own group for now on. Nopony will leave; we’ll help each other.” Discord nodded.
The other members of the army nodded in agreement. “Hold it right there!” A familiar voice snapped. The members of Loki’s army turned and saw themselves surrounded by the Royal Guards, led by Shining Armor. “We’ve gotten a word of activity around here. You do know that you are all under arrest?!!” The captain yelled.
“And this is where The Great and Powerful Trixie and Loki’s army make their escape!”
Trixie quickly used a smoke screen…and rushed off quickly with the army, much to the Royal Guards’ shock. “Great, they got away!” Shining Armor groaned.
Trixie, Gilda, Flim, Flam, the Diamond Dogs, and Discord were FAR away from where they met up. The group stopped to catch their breaths, happy that they got away from the Royal Guards. Trixie commented, “I’m glad we were able to get away from the Royal Guards or else we would’ve been in prison right now.”
“Mates…what are you doing here?” A familiar voice asked. The members of Loki’s army turned and noticed General Shield Strike (now recovered).
“What ever happened to you?” Discord questioned. “Those shelas and their dragon friend defeated me.” General Shield Strike grumbled in annoyance. “You can come with us to escape from the Royal Guards.” Trixie suggested. “I’ll accept that, shela.” General Shield Strike nodded. It took a while, but Twilight and Spike were finally back home.
Owlowicious greeting his owner happily, hooting to Twilight. After settling the pet down, the two went upstairs to get some sleep. Twilight then went to go put Spike to bed. The baby dragon was settling in, then looked concerned. He spoke up, “Twilight, are you…happy that Loki’s now arrested?”
Twilight paused to think, hesitating a bit. There was still parts of her that hated Loki…for killing Dinky, for almost ruining her life, and taking everything she held dear to her away. “Some of me is happy, the rest isn’t happy. Maybe someday I’ll figure out if there’s good in him by myself.” Twilight said softly. “Come on, Spike. Let’s go to bed.” Spike nodded. As he was sleeping, Twilight patted the spikes on top of his head as she said, “Good night, Spike.”
“Good night, Twilight.” Spike mumbled in his sleep. Once he was settled into bed, Twilight got into her own bed. She had a long day…
After explaining what happened to them before they ran into General Shield Strike to him, he decided that it would be best to stay with them to hide from the Royal Guards. “Well, at least the Royal Guards aren’t here.” Discord said, hanging out with his group in a cave, thinking that they’re safe. “Those guards can’t, but we can…” A voice spoke up which made the nine yelp in alarm. They looked over and saw two cloaked figures standing there, staring at them. “Who are you two mates?” General Shield Strike demanded to the figures. The mystery of those two…will wait another time.
2 months have passed since the battle with Loki ended. The three main towns of Equestria had been rebuilt from the conflict that almost destroyed the pony race. The members of Loki’s army were still on the loose. The remains of the ruins have been rebuilt to be a historical monument for tourists to see. As for the machines used during the battle, Celestia and Luna had them and the scattered material were to soon be collected, some were rebuilt by their own engineering experts that studied them before they were stored away, to be kept sealed until another battle. The Princesses checked on the Elements of Harmony during those two months. To their surprise, Loki’s corruption was now gone. Thor’s use of them as well as the battle must’ve erased it.
The Elements can now be used by Twilight and her friends without any worrying. Celestia, although, was having problems of her own, doubting herself for being a good ruler and not protecting her subjects. Luckily, Luna had helped her and the problem was being resolved for the time being. Speaking of which, the princess was smiling at Twilight’s latest friendship report that she sent. As the alicorn left her study with the friendship report wrapped in a scroll levitating behind her, Luna joined her. “Coming to wish me good night, sister?” Luna asked curiously. “I indeed was.” Celestia answered to Luna with a smile. The Princess of the Sun paused then spoke up, “Luna?”
“Yes, Tia?”
“Luna, why were you so determined into protecting me and our subjects two months ago?”
“Because, sister, I’m not going down without a fight. And to change the subject a bit, I remember the times you foalsat Thor before the Ice Pony War happened and before I became Nightmare Moon.”
“Yes, I remember…” Celestia sighed in remembering those times.
Flashback:
“Careful, Thor, careful!” Celestia scolded as Thor almost fell off the table the princess had him on. Odin had asked his friend to foalsit while he was away on some business. Celestia sat him up carefully and asked, “You’re a curious one, aren’t you? Just like your father.” Thor giggled as he spat on Celestia, making her sigh. She enjoyed this…so to speak.
End of Flashback
Celestia gave a smirk to her sister as she asked, “Is the reason because you wanted to change the subject to not think about what happened during the battle?”
“Well, I just wanted to remember the good old days before this happened.” Luna shrugged.
“Perhaps I shall wait another time. Right now, our concern is Nexus…”
“Yes, right. What do we do about Nexus?”
“Nothing yet. Until we have sight on what he’s planning, things will return to normal.” Celestia said to Luna sternly. “Very well, Tia. Good night.” Luna said as she nuzzled her sister before leaving.
“Good night, sister.”
At this moment, the scene showed a wasteland surrounded by flames and canyons as far as anypony’s eyes could follow.
This was known as the realm within the gates of Tartarus, the place filled with the most evil of creatures for centuries; in the center, surrounded by molten lava stood a strange dark castle made of the structure of true ultimate evil as the very thing’s existence could be seen with in the domain’s view. But as huge as the palace appeared that even dragons could enter such a place, the real terror was what awaited any that dared to go to such a place.
For within the chambers and into a throne room awaited what was the king that ruled this realm of prisoners kept from the world. It was none other than Nexus, the Overlord King, as he sat on a throne, gazing at the vault where the Elements were kept through a flame mirror.
“At last, I have found the location of the Elements of Harmony!” Nexus declared with an evil smile. “And what of our movement, master?” A new voice spoke up. Then, soon, what was swirling around in the throne room, but didn’t make Nexus lose focus was a creature…he had company. The creature had a long lizard like body like a Chinese dragon, but it was not flesh; it was something mechanical. It seemed to be…bio mechanical made of structure. The black metal scales on his top part body and more so all over his four claws and tip of his spiral tail to a bio flesh seen within that’s violet colored and clear ruby red eyes. This strange wicked creature slowly ceased moment when it was inches away from the Overlord King and his throne.
“Surely you have planned our chance to attack Equestria, now that Loki is in prison.” The newly appeared dragon stated to Nexus. “Yes, Ater Draco, my loyal bio mechanical dragon general. His adoptive brother was close to hitting both of us, but hit Loki instead.” Nexus responded.
“Well, he was powerful then and powerful to this day, but I’m FAR more powerful to deal with his adoptive brother myself!” Ater Draco declared with a menacing expression. “But look at what’s happened, now all the work he has done has created new evil spreading it’s roots all over Equestria.” Nexus smiled evilly. He held up his hoof and his horn glowed to summon…an entire line of magically lit flame mirrors. And from each of them seen, there was the image of a villain.
Some of them included Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings and even two stallions that Nexus didn’t recognize: One was a Pegasus stallion with light purple eyes, a platinum blonde mane, and a tan coat with three pyramids as a cutie mark wearing a purple sleeveless top that had a black strap that had a gold rod hanging from it with jewelry and the other was a unicorn stallion with light brown eyes, a white mane, and a white coat with a black heart with bat wings as a cutie mark wearing a brown string with a gold pendant on the end like a necklace. Above the Pegasus stallion was a pony who looked the same except the mane was wild and spikey with a gold mark on his forehead while wearing a purple cape and a dark sleeveless top and above the unicorn stallion was an Earth Pony stallion that looked like him except that his cutie mark was a heart that was pink on one side with an angel wing and the other side was black with a bat wing wearing the same necklace.
And that still left a few spare villains such as possible candidates like a Unicorn mare with orange eyes, a light orange mane with dark orange braids, and a light orange coat with a red and yellow shimmering sun as well as a few teenage dragons, including a certain one named Garble. “While Loki may have chosen not to serve in my army, surely what his actions have done may bring forth others to join my rankings!” Nexus exclaimed. “Bah, why waste time? Some of these new ‘evils’ may just serve Dargoth instead of you.” Ater Draco remarked off to his master. “True, but I have favored most is the entertainment in watching their evil actions.” Nexus smirked. “So, we will just sit back and watch how well the others play their parts.”
“And then?” Ater Draco questioned. “Then, when the time is right, my army shall invade…they will not know what happens until it is too late.” Nexus hissed while walking to the window. “For there is no greater army than my own; the Army of Tartarus!”
The scene zoomed out to see large yards and lands that were beyond it belonged to…an ARMY of creatures that were imprisoned in Tartarus. There were many from Ground enemies to Aerial enemies and Water enemies of any matter to travel by land, sea, or air. There were some that were hired criminals to join the army while others were creatures varying from ponies to dragons that from what prisoners had stated were created by Nexus as he had the power to create ‘life’ in his own image with a sense of loyalty only to him. There are many that talk in the army in puzzling concerns that they can’t tell who’s worse to deal with, being under Loki’s command or being in Nexus’s army. Either way, it’s their destiny role to forever be apart in.
“So, live out your lives well, for I want every day of your lives to entertainment until…my day of coming.” Nexus’s voice declared. “And if worse comes into the picture, it may be a blessing if Dargoth gets a head start on your lives! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
All that was seen was an afterimage of Nexus’s head gazing below him were images of his army, Ater Draco was flying in the left and in the free opening on the right…appeared a shadowy figure…of a cloaked individual who is yet to be known as the last major villain was seen looking over things afar or that he could step in on his own choosing. The only major note to be prepared for is that things were far from over after Loki’s defeat…but no, things were just starting to become a new beginning for all of Equestria and it’s ponies.
