Chapter 5: Chapter five. Dragons and Lies.

Previous Chapter Next Chapter



The trio had just jumped through the window heading towards the rampaging dragon that was now flying above Canterlot. They were slown down when approached by a mob of panicking ponies.

"By Celestia! more monsters! run RUN!" a fancily dressed unicorn yelled. Carmine stopped the trio. The group of ponies were meanwhile escorted to safety by a few Royal Guards.

"STOP!" he shouted. "Did you guys see that?"

"What? WHAT? We have a dragon to slay. Hurry up with it." Ulfgar responded.

"Well...Its just that all these ponies are dressed. Yet the princess wasnt wearing anything, or those ponies in uhh...Ponyville." Carmine cringed when he said towns name. "Does that mean they're all nudists or something?"

"They're bloody ponies, stop questioning their logic. Now, we need to bring that foul dragon to the ground, luckily I have just th..." Ulfgar got interupted by Heavy's large hand.

"Shh shh...I know how to bring down puny dragon. Then I will crush it with Sasha." The Russian said and the dovakhiin agreed. That way he wouldnt have to use another shout so soon.

"Okay big guy, but listen. You got a big gun and all, but learn how to preserve some ammo. Who knows what we'll get to shoot after this big ugly lizard? I dont think these ponies have a gun store around here." Carmine told Heavy.

"If Engineer was here, he would build us dispenser. Then I could fire Sasha forever!"

"Well your engineer isnt here, its just us. So take it easy."

"Da...But Sasha will taste its blood." Heavy grinned.

The trio continued onward avoiding more screaming ponies on the way. The dragon meanwhile landed on a building where he was facing a handful of Royal Guard pegasi.

"By Celestia! this dragon is unlike any i've ever encountered in Equestria." The guard was avoiding the intense heat produced by the dragon's flames. Its loud roars were strong enough to shatter every nearby window. The force that was created by the dragon just flapping his wings was enough to throw the ponies of their feet. It roared once more sending chills down the Royal Guards spines, then the dragon proceeded to drop down from the building's roof landing right infront of the guards. Its bright-red glowing eyes were so terrifying the group of ponies simply froze in fear. The dragon then prepared to finish his prey, it let out a final roar as the dragons jaws rushed towards the closest of the terrified golden-armored ponies.

This guard had his eyes closed. Death was near and he wasnt ready to face it yet. But it didnt come. He slowly opened his eyes and one of the humans that he'd just escorted not half an hour ago stood before him. Stopping the dragons enourmous jaw with his bare hands.

"Is dragon killing time!" Heavy laughed out loud as the dragon shrieked in confusion. Ulfgar jumped in delivering several slices to the dragons right wing with his greatsword. The beast was now in great pain and the adrenaline caused him to shake his neck, wings and tails around. Heavy lost grip on the dragon's head and fell on the ground. He immediatly stood up to retrieve Sasha. The dragon now with deep cuts in one of its wings, took off to the sky once again. Carmine also joined in and approached the five pegasi Royal Guards.

"Alright little pony guards, we can handle things here. So just move along okay?" The COG soldier was relaxed as always. The leader of the Guards was the first to recover from his near-death experience.

"N..No." He said.

"I told you to stand down, and you should do as you're told soldier!" Carmine enjoyed taking command for some reason.

"And I swore to protect the princess and ponies of Canterlot! mighty foe or not. I will defend this place with my last breath and not stand idling at the sides." The guard spoke proudly. Carmine took a good look in the ponies large eyes. They showed determination and courage. But also foolishness. Much like his brothers.

"What's your name soldier?" The COG asked.

"Commander Dark Spear." The pegasus answered.

"Fine if you wanna help. Stick with those guys and provide a distraction while I go and make sure that oversized chicken never takes off again." Carmine pointed at Heavy and Ulfgar who were busy taunting the dragon.

"YOL TUUR SHUL!" the dragon's words could heard faintly as he breathed out a continuing barrage of flaming death right in front of the trio and the group of pegasi.

"GOGO NOW!" Carmine sprinted into an alleyway and vanished into the shadows shortly after. Commander Dark Spear took a look at his guards. Two remained to terrified to continue so he ordered them to stand guard at the princess and inform headquarters to request reinforcements from nearby towns. Dark Spear and two of his toughest pegasi stayed on the battlefield. Protecting what is theirs.

"You heard the human! they seem capable of destroying this monster. So we're gonna do whatever we can to help!"

"YOL!" The dragon sprayed more flames towards them. They were able to dodge it quitte easily but the fire that passed them had now ignited the alleyway and several buildings Carmine was heading to.

"AH FUCK AAH I'M ON FIRE FUCK AAH!" It sounded like he was alright.

Dark Spear approached the dovakhiin. "What can we do to assist?"

"What can three little flying ponies do here." Ulfgar was patronizing the Royal Guards.

"We will do whatever is neccesary to ensure the safety of our civilians and princess!" Dark Spear wasnt bothered by the dragonborn's tone.

"Aye, then die a fools death. All we need to do is bring that dragon to the ground. When it does it'll be like a punching bag. I can't use the Thu'um just ye...." Another dragon shout interupted Ulfgar.

"YOL!"

"Discord! how is this possible?" The princess was shocked as the draconequus appeared next to her with an evil grin.

"Oh why good day to you as well." He said.

"Did you corrupt the creatures that arrived here to cause chaos and disharmony once more?

"Oh that's just the good part! Those three humans or whatever they're called somehow resisted my corruption, and yet they STILL nearly murdered you brutally!" Discord laughed maniacally, but slowly got more serious. " These other worlds...there are so many that surround us, and all have different meanings of ultimate chaos. What I'm searching for is the ultimate combination."

"Is that why you brought those humans then?" Celestia asked.

"Ha! please! dont make me laugh. Consider them a failed experiment. If my dragon doesn't devour them you can send them to the moon for all I care...unless you're willing to play a little game."

"I have no intention to participate in any of your actions."

"Oh come on Celestia! This is just what I need to keep me entertained while I'm preparing the main event!"

"BEGONE FOUL DEMON!" Luna suddenly stormed through the door shouting her traditional Royal Canterlot voice.

"Ah Night Mare Moon. How nice of you to join us." The draconequus giggled. The sun princess glared at Discord.

"Her name is LUNA!" Celestia was agitated and conjured up an orb of ice from her magical horn. She shot it towards Discord who easily teleported away just with a snap of his fingers. The orb shattered on impact against her own throne, completely freezing it and its surroundings.

Discord appeared behind Luna slightly startling her, but she didn't let her guard down. She continued growling at the self-proclaimed god of chaos.

"Wow, you ponies CAN actually be scary when you try. Haha!"

Two pegasi royal guards now arrived through the shattered window. "Stop right there criminal scum!" they yelled.

"Well it's getting a bit crowded here so I guess I'll take my leave then. But know one thing Celestia." Discord stared at the Princess. "When chaos collides, it's not going to be pretty. Know that even your precious Elements of Harmony wont be able to stop the horrors I've planned for you ponies. You'll see soon enough." The draconequus then mysteriously vanished without a trace. The echo of his evil laughter could still be heard throughout the chambers, slowly dissapearing.

Princess Celestia suddenly collapsed to the ground. The guards and Luna rushed to her.

"Tia! You're bleeding! did Discord do this." Luna shouted as she was extremely concerned with her sister's health. Celestia raised her hoof and gently touched her neck, revealing a large cut. She pushed Luna away, now standing eye to eye with the two guards that arrived.

"The dragon...is it..." Princess Celestia asked in a soft voice.

"Uhh..Uh...The dragon is still in Canterlot, we were saved by the humans. They are currently fighting the dragon alongside Commander Dark Spear.

"Is there anypony hurt?"

"We have not encountered any casualties yet. Most ponies have been safely escorted into the mountains. However, alot of houses and businesses have been completely destroyed."

"They can be rebuild. Please continue and search for anypony in need of help." Celestia slowly rose up to her hooves again.

"But princess, you need medical attention immediatly!"

"I'll be fine. Please go. Thats an order." The guards left as they were told but felt uneasy leaving the princess. Still an order is an order.

"Sister! tell me what has happened. How did Discord do this!" Luna already grabbed a first aid kit and started bandaging her beloved sister's neck. Celestia took a long breath and explained the situation. How these three humans came from different worlds filled with violence and murder. How Discord had killed two of them in order to transport them across dimensions. That they mysteriously resisted Discord's corruption, yet still remained dangerous. She told the horned one was capable of casting powerful magic, and stopped time itself in order to capture her. How he placed the blade against her neck, but in the end decided to spare her life if she would help them return to their own worlds.

But Celestia was lying. Ulfgar and Carmine had been killed by Discord in their own worlds. They would no longer be able to have a physical body in their realms. For the one known as Heavy weapons guy it was different. He died all the time, but strange technology was able to recreate him. In fact. If he died right now, he most likely would return to 'Earth' right away.

Luna was shocked. "The human...He cut you? Then he must be punished!"

Celestia shook her head in disagreement. "No sister. If anything, he should be praised for sparing my life after my horrible missjudgement. These 'humans'...They're evil and destructive in so many ways. But deep inside I truly believe now that they're capable of delivering great justice. Not in the name of Chaos. But in our ways of Harmony. "

"Then why did you lie to them?" Luna asked.

"...The truth is...I'd never been that scared in whole my life. The one named Ulfgar...He is truly a terrifying man..." Celestia looked away embarrassed.

Luna frowned. Her sister scared? In thousands of years she never admitted to be scared of anything. Now she's saying she's scared of some big hairless iron-armored magical monkey. "But still you must tell them the truth." The moon princess said.

"In time I will yes, I just need some time to figure things out...Maybe there is a way...Maybe..." Celestia was feeling much better now. The cut the dovakhiin left behind wasn't very deep. And she had a very tough hide luckily. The bleeding already stopped by the bandages Luna had used. Yet an unpleasant stinging feeling remained.

"Luna. I need you to assist the humans with the dragon that is still loose in Canterlot. And after that, IMMEDIATLY return with them here." Celestia was serious.

"Will you be alright sister?"

"I will be fine. Please go and make sure no pony gets hurt."

Luna trusted her sister once again and flew off also through the broken convenient window. Even though she wasn't as powerful as her sister, she was still a very capable destructive magic user. Combined with the powers of Night Mare Moon she inherited she was not a pony to mess with.

Ulfgar had pulled out his bow and arrow and began firing at the dragon. Heavy stared at this and started laughing maniacally.

"WOHHAOOHOOOA! what is little dragon man doing? Heavy kept laughing.

"By Ysgromar! cant you see I'm trying to shoot this damn dragon down!" Ulfgar responded angrily.

"You are doing it wrong way." Heavy grinned and started revving his minigun Sasha. "YAHAHAHA!" The Russian laughed like a madman as he started shooting into the sky. Sasha was far from accurate, but its seemingly endless magazine made it nearly impossible to miss if shot long enough. The dragon just hovered nearby getting ready for another breath of fire. Unfortunatly for him he flew right into Sasha's line of fire. Bullets were definitly penetrating him as they could guess from the dragon's cries of pain. But the wings stayed intact. Heavy stopped shooting because of what Carmine told him. "Must preserve ammo. Will crush dragon other way." He grunted.

Ulfgar had thrown away his useless bow and arrows with a small tear in his eye. Knowing it was useless next to this loud destructive dwemer device Heavy was carrying. But he kept trust in his greatsword and magic abilities. He looked up as he saw the dragon shriek out in pain but still refusing to land.

"YOL!" another breath of fire was coming.

Commander Dark Spear and his men flew around courageous carefully avoiding all the dragon's flames. He spotted the COG soldier he spoke to before on a roof of a half destroyed building. He was taking cover behind a chimney. Carefully aiming his strange metal device towards the dragon. He looked the Royal Guards in the eyes and signalled a 'thumbs up'.

"..........." Dark Spear had no idea what a thumbs up ment. He didnt even know what a thumb is. "Hey ugly! this way!" he waved around his hoofs to get the dragon's attention. The dragon spotted him and decided the golden armored pony would be his meal. The Commander pushed his men out the way and flew as fast as he could to the building Carmine was hiding with the dragon on his tail.

"WOAH WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" Carmine shouted. The pegasus flew passed him but the dragon landed right next to him on the half-destroyed roof. The entire building started collapsing down with Carmine and the dragon in it.

Heavy and Ulfgar could only see large cloud of dust and some debris. Both the dragon and Carmine must be underneath.

"CARMINE! are you alright?" The dovakhiin shouted.

"IS FUTURE MAN ALIVE?" Heavy followed.

Dark Spear started wondering if that wasn't what the COG soldier wanted with this 'thumbs up'.

Suddenly the dust started vanishing as they saw the dragon slowly rise from the debris. It roared out once more, clearly pissed off. They saw another pile of debris being lifted up behind the dragon. Next they suddenly heard an unfamilair buzzing sound.

"TAKE THIS YOU BIIITCH." Carmine arose from the dust with his Lancer chainsaw attachment all revved up. He sawed through the dragon's left wing as if it was butter. Blood spattered in all directions. Mostly on the COG soldier unfortunatly. When he nearly sawed through the entire wing he'd put away his gun and proceeded to yank out the small wing the dragon had left with his hands. The dragon cried in pain but it wasn't finished yet. The scaled beast smacked its large head against Carmine launching him atleast thirty feet away.

The dragon rolled around desperately trying to stand up in the pile of debris. He looked in despair as he saw the human that was able to stop his jaws with just his own strength approach him. Now carrying a large weapon.

"I told you Sasha would taste its blood." Heavy grinned and satisfied some of his bloodlust as he lifted up his mini-gun and started to relentlessly pounding Sasha on its face. Again. And again. And again.

The dragon stopped moving when Heavy started to hear its skull crack. Its eyes started turning back to their normal black color instead of bright glowing red.

"What sorcery is this!" Ulfgar sounded confused.

"What? We killed it right?" Carmine crawled back up.

"Exactly! then why cant I absorb its soul?"

"Maybe dragon is not dead then?" Heavy said.

Ulfgar decided to put this to the test and unsheathed his blade. He held it up high for a large slash. He then cut through the dragon's neck like it was nothing.

"......It's dead now right?" Ulfgar was flabbergasted. This had never happened before. Even if someone else got the killing blow. He is the dragonborn. Devourer of dragon souls, only he was able to do this. Why not now?

"Maybe... it doesnt have a soul?" Carmine tried to find some logic in it.

"Aye...lets just keep it to that then."

"Alright humans do not fear! We have arrived t..." Luna arrived at the scene where she spotted a non-equestrian dragon decapitated. Also it was covered in small holes and shattered scales. Its right wing was severely damaged by a sharp object and it didnt even have a left wing anymore. "It appears our help was not neccesary."

"P-p-princess Luna!" Commander Dark Spear immediatly regained his composure and made a salute.

"Please stand down Commander. Report please." Luna asked him.

"Uh..yes...The humans appear to have killed the dragon that was destroying our city."

"Any casualties?"

"Zero. Alot of building's and houses have been completely burned or destroyed though."

"Then return to your barracks and await further orders." Luna commanded. The Royal Guards took a final salute and took off. Dark Spear made sure to apologize to Carmine before he left. The COG soldier just shrugged and told him not to worry about it.

"Now then humans! you will return with me to the castle at once!" The blue alicorn sure loved her traditional Royal Canterlot speech.

"Then do we discuss returning to our worlds?" Ulfgar acted excited.

"In time humans. First you will apologize to my sister. Then we will discuss your temporary stay in Equestria."

"Wait a minute, for what do we need to apologize." Ulfgar asked.

"You scarred my sister. And you will all apologize...or else!" A loud thunder and lighting bolt could be heard and seen behind Luna.

"Oops sorry about that!" A wandering gray pegasus appareantly crashed into a cloud causing it to thunder.

"So flying ponies can walk on clouds huh? Whadda'ya know." Carmine shrugged once again. "Listen uhh Princess Luna right?"

"YES!" she shouted right in Carmine's face.

"Uhh...We'll gladly come back to the castle...but you know we're kind of hungry. We havent eaten since we've gotten here."

"There will be plenty of food after we're done with our business."

"What about Bacon?"

"And Sandvich!"

"By the gods, I would kill for a roasted goat leg right now."

Luna looked at the three in disgust. "Thy creatures...Humans? They eat meat?"

"Well ofcourse, dont you?" Carmine facepalmed when he finished speaking. Ofcourse horses dont eat meat.

"Thy truly are a disgusting race. But we will speak of that later. My sister awaits you three right now. Let us go!" And with that Luna and the three humans ventured back to the throne room.

Celestia had just finished writing a letter to her prize pupil Twilight Sparkle, bearer of the Element of Magic. The princess saw her sister and the three humans enter. Once again through the window.

"You know we have a perfectly good frontdoor you can use!" Celestia said slightly agitated.

"Woah! We just saved this town from a deadly dragon and thats how you welcome us?" Carmine laughed.

Celestia facehooved. "I'm truly sorry. I just have alot on my mind right now with a god of chaos running loose. I'm ever grateful to you three humans for doing Equestria a great service. I heard that everypony got escorted to the mountains safely." Luna nodded at her sister to confirm this.

"Then can you finally tell me when I can return to Skyrim!" Celestia flinched as Ulfgar talked.

"I...I...First we need to stop Discord. When his magic is completely vanished I can look further into this."

"Then show us the way to this Discord, he will feel the fury of my ancestors when my blade will penetrate his heart." The dovakhiin pledged.

Celestia was disturbed by the dovakhiin's words, but she knew sealing Discord wasn't going to work a third time. He had to be eliminated. Once and for all. No matter how cruel it may seem. "We're not sure where he's hiding out. However I'm certain he will reveal himself to you three over time. He sees all this as a game of chess... And we are the pawns." Celestia sighed.

"Then let him play his game. I will destroy all that will oppose me in my quest to return to my land." Ulfgar was determined.

"Whatever he's gonna throw at us. We can take it." Carmine said.

"I am sure Engineer will take care of all. Heavy will crush ponies enemies in mean time." The Russian had a wide smile.

"Well its good to hear you're all on our side now. I'm truly confident that together we will be able to stop Discord's evil future plans. But for now I wish to set a few ground rules for you humans as long you reside in Equestria."

"Rules...?" The trio looked dissapointed.

"Yes! for goodness sake. You three people are running around with weapons and magic obliterating everything in sight! I wont have such things happen."

Celestia cleared her throat. "Ahum...Rule number one. You will not be allowed to harm, injure or mentally assault anypony. Im aware you three are very attached to your 'weapons' so I will not take those from you, however I advise you not to use them."

"Hmm I can live with that."

"Yeah thats not so bad."

"Hrmm." Heavy grunted.

"And know that by breaking this rule the penalty is banishment." Celestia added.

"The to moooooooon right?" Carmine joked.

"Nope, a one way ticket to the sun." Celestia smiled.

"Haha..." The COG soldier was abit disturbed.

"Now then. Rule number two. You three will reside in the nearby town of Ponyville. Under direct supervision by the elements of harmony."

"Woah woah. Wait a second... You're gonna let a bunch of ponies babysit us?" Carmine asked.

"Well yes. Just to be safe."

"Ah well. Atleast its not like you're asking us to work or something. Im fine with it."

"That brings me to rule number three. When you three reside in Ponyville I want you humans to find a job and contribute to society just like everypony unti...." Celestia was then shocked as the three humans got enraged.

"A JOB? Do I look like i've got time to do some stupid job! my people! they await the return of Ulfgar the Fearless! I cant waste time on a job!"

"I will not work for little ponies. Heavy only works for RED."

"Yeah what the hell. This just sound ridiculous."

"... You didnt let me finish. Until we learn more about Discord's plans or find his hide-out. Its just temporary. And every moment you spend working is less time for you to hurt anypony." Celestia smiled awkardly.

Carmine looked at her. He could find some logic in her rules. "Fine but really. That's the last straw."

"Great, those were the rules anyway. I'll let you..." Celestia was interupted by Luna who whispered something in her sisters ear. "They what?!" The white alicorn suddenly changed from her awkard laugh to a more stern look.

"A sudden change. Rule number four. As long you remain in Equestria you will NOT be permitted to eat meat under any circumstances!" Celestia looked at the trio who looked like they were going to explode.

"NO BACON ARE YOU KIDDING ME, WHY DONT YOU SEND ME TO HELL RIGHT AWAY!" Carmine felt a sting in his heart.

"WHAT! WHAT!? SANDVICH WITH NO MEAT IS LIKE SNAKE WITH NO VENOM. NOT SPICY AT ALL!" Heavy added.

"Aye, I'll agree to this. Its a small price to pay as long you promise us your help." Ulfgar said to the princess.

Celestia started smiling awkardly again. "Oh look at the time. I've got alot of work to do. So I'll send some guards to escort you three to your private chambers where you can stay untill everything in Ponyville is arranged. There's a lovely menu of vegetarian treats! bye-bye!"

A guard arrived and did so while Carmine and Heavy were still extremely dissapointed at the fact they couldn't have their favorite meals anymore. They were certainly loud enough to let everyone know. Ulfgar apologized to Celestia just as Luna asked. Both princesses now waved the trio off.

"Sister. You must tell them the truth eventually." Luna told Celestia.

"I know. But now is not the time. Discord should be our main priority no matter what." The white alicorn sighed once more.

She pre-read the letter she had just written to Twilight. Alright no spelling errors. Everything seems in place. She was about to send it with her magic but was stopped by Luna.

"Stop Tia! Discord might intercept the message with his magic!"

"You're right." Celestia couldn't afford to take any risks.

"Then bring me the best mail pony you can find!"
