Chapter 20: Revelations (part 2)- Battle of Indentities

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Note: This is a continuation of the dream Derpy and Rain had in Battle of Singapore(part 5)-Dreams or Memory?
Perspective: Narrator, in the dream world

They were on a Ironclad, with 4 privateers and was sailing back to Equestria after the engagement with the griffon navy.

However, unknown to the Equestrain Fleet, the griffon navy has requested assistance from their allies, the dragons. The dragon king accepted the request and sent his finest troops to sink the Equestrain Fleet once and for all.

The approaching battle was about to begin.


Perpective: Dragon troops, Militilary Outpost near the Celestial Sea

“Sir, our allies were engaged by enemy vessels in the celestial sea, should we move to intercept?”

“Move the 2nd dragon squadron to destroy the enemy fleet.”

“Yes, Sir.”


Perspective: Equestrian Fleet, 30 minutes later....

The 2nd dragon squadron consisted of 40 dragons, each dragon wore armor around their massive bodies to protect themselves from whatever the Equestrian fleet could throw at them.

"Sir, we are spotting an dragon squadron heading towards us!"

"All ships, release smoke!" Rain shouted.

As the dragons moved closer to the fleet, they were somewhat surprised that the fleet started to be covered in smoke.

"No matter, they can hide in that smoke for as long as they w..." The dragon squadron leader, Snoke , said as shells nearly hit him and caused him to take evasive measures.

"That's it. All Dragon ATTACK!"

At their commanders command, the dragons started to dive into the smoke and head for their primary target: The Ironclad.

Derpy was busy loading shells into the 6 inch gun while Rain was firing bolts at a rate of 1 bolt per second.

However, the bolts were not doing much damage to the dragon's armor. "Derpy, kill the dragon commander with your horn!" Rain yelled.

"What? My horn? Are you crazy? My horn is not sharp enough to pierce their armor." Derpy yelled, as she is trying to put in the shell in the barrel of the 6 inch cannon.

"Yes. If your horn could cut an entire neck of a griffon, I am pretty sure it can pierce through their armor." Rain explained.

"Fine!" Derpy said as she flew outside and the fight the battle going on outside.

"This is Rainy to all ponies. Do not Shoot at the Dragons. Wait for them to get closer to Us before unleashing our AA(anti-air) Barrage!" Rain shouted to the nearby ponies.

As Dragons enter the smokescreen, multiple projectiles went straight for the Dragons. Spells were fire and arrows were launched. Many Dragons fall due to the AA barrage. The amount of fire that the ponies put on them was too much for the Dragons' armor to take. This resulted in many dragons falling into the sea, reducing the number of Dragons in the air, which makes Derpy's job easier.

Meanwhile......
Arrows, spells were fired in all directions while the dragons moved in for the kill. One dragon saw Derpy through the chaos of battle and signaled some dragon to kill her just because what she was: an Alicorn. Dragons started to close in for the kill when Derpy suddenly flew upwards. "Let's take to the skies!" Derpy shouted with glee.

"All dragons, get her!" Snoke yelled as he also moved in for the kill. All the dragons somehow heard Snoke's order and all flew out of the smoke screen. Derpy was started to looked around her as all 40 dragons threatened to take her life if she did not move. 'Shoot, where is the commander? is it him? NO? who is it?' Derpy thought as she flew aimlessly around the battlefield.

"Got you!" Snoke said as he grabbed Derpy in the midst of her thoughts. Derpy struggled against his hold, but she could not break free. She took a bet and used her horn and poke Snoke. Her horn, once she started poking, went all the way in Snoke's claws. "Ahhh! Stupid pony poke me. No matter, let's see how you like this." Snoke said.

Snoke placed Derpy within range of his mouth. He immediately sprayed dragon flames on Derpy. Derpy in return poke his armor in return, hoping against hope that her horn would at least make him stop his flames. It worked. But instead of just touching the armor plates, her horn went all the way in. "Ahhhhhhh!" Snoke yelled in pain as he released Derpy from his grasp and noticed that blood was spilling through his armor.

As Derpy flew, she immediately return and asked, "Do you want more? cause I got more of those where that came from."

"No! NO! Get away from me. AAAHHHH!" Snoke yelled as Derpy stabbed Snoke. Multiple times. She watched as Snoke dive into the water and saw that her horn was stained red from the blood of Snoke. She then looked to the other dragons who survived the battle below, who was starring at her with only one thing on their face: fear. Taking advantage of the situation, She turned to make sure she looked at the dragons and said loudly, "Does any dragon want to be my next victim? If not, I suggest you fly away while I still have the Mercy to."

The dragons took the cue and flew away as quick as they can. Whereas Derpy only looked at herself and thought 'I am a monster. How could my horn be that sharp? I just killed them with my horn. And that I am supposed not to do that.' She started to flew near the water and stared at her reflection. The only thing she saw was the blood on her hooves and horn.
'I am a monster... May celestia forgive my actions in this battle.'

Battle Report:
The battle was concluded and it was the turning point of the war. Never could the griffons rebuild a navy of such size and the dragons suffered a psychological blow as, for the first time, suffered numerous casualties by ground fire. Out of the 40 that went, 20 died while trying to get close to the ships, another 15 severely injured due to spell or arrows. This makes the Dragons weary of the war and pull out all their fighting units immediately. This was due to an effective AA defense around the fleet. With so much losses for the griffons in that battle, they started to lose ground in the ground battle with Equestrian Forces. As the Griffons lose ground, the griffons finally surrendered on 800 BTS(before Twilight Sparkle was born) and a peace treaty was signed.

The Treaty made sure that Griffons would never attack Equestria or any other nations for their own purpose, at the same time, the Equestrian armed forces would not increase their research of weapons and would reduce their army size. This will later be known as the Great stand down by Historians. The research of weapons will only be kick started by Sparky and Twilight after their first visit to WW1 and WW2.

Back to the present, Perspective: Derpy, the dreamscape

Derpy entered the dreamscape soon after that dream.

Derpy was breathing heavily, 'It was only a dream. Thank celestia I did not kill any dragons.'

"Or did you?" Another creature asked.

"Who's there?" Derpy asked in shock.

"Don't worry, I bring no harm. You are currently in the dreamscape." The Creature said, walking slowly towards Derpy to reveal itself.

The Creature looked like this:
It was a draconequus. The draconequus body was mostly purple, with its neck and body fur being in different hues. The head was pony shaped but its ears were big and floppy and two small stubs protruded from behind its head. Its mane was messy and colored dark blue with stripes of magenta and lavender streaking through it. Its eyes were similar to Discord's, with a yellow sclera and no iris, but it had a violet pupil instead of red. Its forelegs were that of an eagle, colored in darker shade of purple than its body fur. Its hind legs were that of some big cat in the same shade of purple as its forelegs. It had hot pink serpent's tail with a tuft of hair, the same coloration as its mane, at the end of it. On its back were two small pegasus wings. Taking a closer look at the draconequus, Derpy were able to identify it as a female.

"You are a draconequus!" Derpy shouted with excitement. Several Questions ran through Derpy's mind 'I didn't recall seeing a draconequus in the dreamscape before, what is she doing here? Is she like my guardian of sleep or something?'

"Yes, I am a Draconequus. Please call me clover to avoid confusions." The draconequus said.

'Clover? Where have I heard that before? Wait.....No! she can't be, it's impossible. She is a unicorn not a Draconequus.' Derpy thought. "Clover? as in Clover the clever?" Derpy asked.

"Yes?" Clover timidly replied.

"But how is that possible? Clover the clever is a unicorn, she isn't a draconequus!" Derpy qusetioned.

"I know! It is just a name. I am not clover the clever, but I am still part of you."

"What do you mean part of me?"

"You are part draconequus and part alicorn. I am the draconequus and you are the alicorn."

"Are you saying we are the same creature but with two forms?"

"Something like that."

"But it is impossible! I am not an alicorn. I am only a pegasus." Derpy said, while pointing to her wings.

"Look what is on top of your head."

Derpy did as instructed and touch her head. In the middle of her mane, there was a horn. "What? Why do I have a horn? Is this a Prank? If it is, change me back!"

"I can't. You are born an alicorn. I can't change it even though I am a draconequus."

"I can't be.....This is not real.."

"This is real! *sigh* I will tell you how you were born an alicorn before you start going into panic mode."

"It started out as a relationship between Celsetia and Discord......."
