Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 5

The Lost Treasure of Glitterdust,
Part Three
[Griffonstone]
“Well, that was a thing that happened.” Pinkie Pie offered. “So any way, like I said, baking powder and blue berries, maybe strawberries.”
Gilda blinked, as she watched down the street Rahs and Sonota had run down in confusion.
“What the buck was that all about!?” Gilda demanded.
“Trade secret.” Pinkie Pie claimed.
Before Gilda could question further, Rahs tore back around the corner barreling towards them. He ran past the cart without stopping, scooping up both Pinkie and Gilda as he continued to run.
“What the shard dog, what the Tartarus are you doing, let me go!” Gilda squawked.
“BORK!” Rahs snapped.
“What?” Gilda demanded.
“He said look behind us.” Pinkie Pie frowned.
Looking back Gilda's eyes widened as a horde of griffons armed with what every weapons they could get came roaring down the street after them.
“Never mind, RUN FASTER!” Gilda screeched.
[ A few seconds earlier]
Aria perked her head up at the sound of screaming.
Adagio tilted her head as she stood in front of a fairly large building that looked like it was supposed to have been an inn in its better days. It still looked like an inn, but it had looked better.
The pair had been arguing, no real surprise, though the sound of screaming drew their attention as a blue figure rounded a corner and tore down the street towards them.
“ARIA, DAGI, HE'S HERE!!!” Sonata shrieked as she ran down the road, hot on her hooves rounding the corner a moment later was a large blue figure the other two recognized.
“Shit, it's the mutt.” Adagio cursed.
“Because of course it is.“ Aria grumbled. “ Because we can't catch a fucking break.”
Rahs slowed as Sonata zipped around hiding behind Aria. His eyes narrowed as he strode up to the three glaring down at them.
“Well well, I didn't expect you to show up in this cess pit.” Adagio sneered looking up at him as she strode forward a few steps before shifting into her large serpent form so she could look down on him instead. ” But do you really think one of you can stand against us?”
Rahs blinked, though he was clearly still unimpressed, he turned his head looking to Aria curiously.
“Yes I told her you were a god, and no, I have no idea what is going on in her head.” Aria sighed.
“Simple idiot. I'm cheating.” Adagio smirked before her tone became more melodic. “Come on out boys.”
The inn and several buildings crashed as windows and doors broke open revealing scores of griffons, most of them armed with house hold implements or kitchen knives.
Rahs frowned, but still seemed unperturbed as he glared up at Adagio.
“Oh don't give me that look, I'm sure as a god you could work your way through them all and get to us, but what about the ship you came in on and all the ponies there? Not to mention all these innocent griffons still in town? Even this lot isn't doing this cause they want to.”
Rahs' eyes widened.
“Kill everyone.” Adagio sang gesturing a fin sending the flock rushing along the ground ignoring the moon dog and charging towards the ship and the middle of town.
Rahs snarled and turned loping back at full speed back down the street in an effort to get ahead of the murderous griffons, there were far too many for him to eat the spell from before they got to Pinkie and the ship.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA, stupid ass hero types.” Adagio grinned.
“Great, he's busy let get the hell out of here.” Aria shuddered. “We should be able to make it to the ship and get out of here.”
“No.” Adagio stated.” Not this time. I'm not running any more. I'm going to take over this damn city, kill the damn ponies and nail that god to a wall. Fuck this shit.”
“Adagio!” Aria snarled.
“Shut the fuck up. I'm going to do this and you can stop being a cowardly little shit and help me or I'll have them kill you too.” Adagio snapped down at her sister.” Over half this fucking town is mine and I'm going to use them! And I certainly don't need you telling me what I should do!”
Adagio turned heading off down the street after the flock of her minions.
“I don't like this.” Sonata muttered watching her go a moment more.
“Yeah ...me either.” Aria grumbled before the pair took off after their sister.
The Princess Bride was in pandemonium.
A number of guidelines hung off the side of the ship which floated over the Abysmal Abyss, the large craft moored to both sides of the chasm. The idea had been to use the ship as a wind buffer to keep the climbers from being swung around, but the wind didn't seem to be bothered in the slightest by the massive sky yacht parked across it which had meant more work.
Unfortunately for the long suffering Guard the only two experienced climbers were their charge, Prince Blue Blood, and his mare friend an Element of Harmony Rainbow Dash.
The Guard LT in charge of was going to make sure that little detail was fixed the moment they got back To Equestria.
Prince had readied the two custom harnesses he and Rainbow Dash had used before and the moment she came back they both had been fitted and ready to descend.
Prince however was stopped by one of his asides who noticed one of the buckles on his gear was worn and starting to crack and needed to be replaced. Rather than wait for Prince, Rainbow Dash had kissed him on the nose, stuck out her tongue at him, and gone over the side to start her descent.
She had barely gone out of ear shot when Rahs, Pinkie, and a griffon hen rushed up the deck with Pinkie Pie screaming all sorts of alarm code phrases, some that made sense, some that didn't and others that there was no way possible she should have known.
Of course the sight of scores of griffons armed for bear like an unruly lynch mob coming at them had the guards quickly ready themselves.
The large serpent creature following them made the worry even more.
The mob paused at the end of the ramp leading up to the ship as the Guards and crew of the Princess Bride readied for battle.
Then the big creature began to sing.
Rahs felt the spell wash over him and break apart, though he had tasted the song before, albeit only through the link he knew what was coming.
This was going to be bad.
And the spell tasted like fried clams.
Rahs growled, dropping Pinkie Pie and Gilda, he brought his hands up to his muzzle and quickly spit on them before slinging his arms back and slapping the two closest figures to him, Gilda and Thunderbolt.
Wait what?
Rahs looked back to see Pinkie had some how shoved the other griffon into his hand, the spit disrupting the mind control spell the Siren was casting.
“I'm good.” Pinkie Pie offered having ducked the spit. “I prefer my mane spit free thank you.”
“Gah what the fuck are you doing?!?” Gilda screeched.
“The big fish snake is mind controlling everyone and Rahs just stopped it from making you a fishie thrall.” Pinkie Pie chimed up.
“That hardly puts us out of danger.” Thunderbolt growled, pulling free of Rahs' claws as the Guard on the ship as well as the crew all turned to glare at Rahs and the others unaffected.
Rahs growled and spit on his paws again glaring at the big siren.
Okay, Adagio needs a serious beat-down this time.
Given Rahs just pulled the full Harrison Indy Solo trick, Adagio is gonna end up with a load of Whomp Rat right up the Stand By?
Then again, theres how many movies to get to that part? The Windigo called Hoth etc?
Remember what twilight said to discord about if his kids causes trouble. Well I think this is it.
Make her mute.
10812552
IGIARI! If that's the case, Twilight would have been gone for months while shes on the other side. Yet she returned to find her friends and both princess waiting for her.
Somewhere Discord is burying his face in his hands....MORE PLEASE!
Sonata and Aria will probably commit to their face heel by next chapter or so. Even this is crazy and crossing alot of lines. [though they probably caused wars to happen before in the human world]
10813724
They did in Equestria, in the human world there were other sirens who were like. No.
granted the human world sirens ate the flesh of the ones they drew to their death and while Adagio studied their spells , she didn't go that far.
10813708
Time involveing the mirror is wibbly wobbly , and when ever the door opens naturaly the times are synced.
10813724
You mean heel-face turn
You think that Daddy Dearest Discord is going to try and bail his daughters out of this one?
In all fairness, Adagio's the one who's causing most of the problems, her sisters seem alright.
Sonata, while dangerous, is a follower and is going along with what her oldest sister is doing. Given the opportunity, she's much rather be having fun and pulling pranks (like when she was on the Moon with her sisters and father).
Aria looks like she's done with Adagio's crap, all of her stupid decisions and her continuing to antagonize someone who can rip their heads off.
10813738
thanks
10813729
Ohhh, still Dagi really gone bonkers.
Even if Adagio wins this is a BAD BAD IDEA. Guessing she didn't wonder why the Sparkles were almost on her fathers DO NOT MESS with list. First of all beating Rahs would be only a battle in the war which would readily bring in Twilight. Killing or hurting all those ponies is not likely to win any favors with Celestia or Luna not considering we have 2 of the Elements involved along with Prince Blueblood
10813669
Agreed
At least, now I probably gonna see the power of the former Element of Loyalty.
She never learns does she
Discord you're daughter is going over the edge, you either get involved and put a stop to this or you get out of the way for those that will
Then put a stop to it, and neither of you get to pretend you can't
Good work Pinkie, Thunderbolt will be very helpful
10813755
Oh, I think Discord is gonna be busy very soon having a… discussion… with Adagio. After all, she literally just said to her sister Aria (and it can be implied as being said to Sonata by association):
Causing chaos? Fine and dandy, he IS the lord of it after all. Wanting their freedom to make their own mistakes? Again, something he is coming to terms with. But escalating sibling squabbles to full on murderous threat and MEANING it?! Well…
Discord: ”Who wants Daddy’s belt?
10813767
I am seeing an Avengers reference in her near future, at the very least starting with:
10813755
Considering she basically just declared war on the Sparkles? The most he'd probably do is pop in to hand her a little trophy labeled "Darwin Award: Adagio Dazzle".
10813817
Daddies belt is the string of stars usualy around Orion's waist.
Why am I expecting rahas to put his paw into pinkies hair and yank discord out and bark (get your bitch of a daughter in line) at him
What an asshole
Adagio's beatdown will be deliciously chaotic
10813848
Means it's gonna sting all the more when Daddy Discord channels Daddy Tang (via Pootie Tang)!
10813951
Most definitely. Of course, this might be setting up Adagio essentially replacing Chrysalis as the main villainess of the Season 6 finale (especially since it would NOT be hard to visualize Adagio brainwashing Chrysalis's hive AND Discord getting peeved enough by Adagio's shenanigans [or, rather, the hassles he will get from the other gods and goddesses because of his oldest daughter getting TOO rebellious] to take part in that adventure) as well as maybe taking Chrysalis's spot on the Legion of Doom in the final season (and, hopefully, it WILL be the REAL Grogar rather than Discord in disguise).
I'm waiting for Rahs to go Witch Wolf god on them and Discord having to intervene so that he don't gut his daughters, anyway the secret will be finaly out of the bag and Rahs will somehow attract Aria.
Daggie just crossed a line here. She's been toeing that line for weeks, but this is crossing it...and if anyone does get killed here, it won't be something she can undo.
Aria and Sonata can clear most of the associated heat coming at them if they're the ones that stop their sister in the end, hopefully before anyone gets seriously hurt.
Meanwhile in Ponyville:
Twilight: “Composition 4?”
Spike: “50 lbs of it. Check.”
Twilight: “Trinitrotoluene?”
Spike: “The whole pallet is ready for transport to Griffonstone.”
Twilight: “Nitroglycerin?”
Spike: “Celestia stole our supply for her latest war with Chrysalis. I have acquired 1000 lbs of fertilizer from Sweet Apple Acres. And that is ready to go.”
Fluttershy: “Ummm. Should I ask what Twilight and Spike are doing?”
Sunset: “Not if you want complete deniability.”
Applejack: “I see Twilight is taking Big Mac’s answer well.”
Twilight: “Detonator?”
Spike: “Set to start counting down 1 second after teleport.”
Rarity: “Is there any reason why none of us tried to stop her?”
Sombra takes a long hard look at everypony and dragon present who has been helping Twilight gather everything she needs to level a small country.
Sombra: “We tell everyone we were mind controlled.”
10814093
My money is still on Tempest to be his number 6 suitor.
10813702
On top of that, Rahs was not made privy to that conversation...
Given the story seems to be edging Aria in as GF #6, I'm going to guess she clobbers Dagi good and proper this time?
10814139
Also a possibility, but if you remember some chapters back Dash listed the tropes of his romantic interests and pointed that only one left was the "reformed daughter of the evil overlord" (or something along these lines).
10814508
Just one thing about that: in this fic, Discord was never an evil overlord.
10814562
No one ever said the evil overlord was male
10814137
You forgot the fuel oil for the fertilizer.
You might even throw in a few large bags filled with a powdered mix of ferric oxide and alumin(i)um.
or you know a quick dose of lyringitus.
10813698
Wasn’t that bit done by Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller) in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension?
I cannot find a picture or clip online of it, but I swear it’s in the movie…
10814562
Maybe not evil evil, but he did take over Equestria during his tantrum over being dumped, and let us not forget his villain of the week comeback, though playing the part of a chew toy din't really help with his villain looks.
Shoundn't it be "mane" instead on "main"?
10814799
Its Pinkie. Don't question Pinkie Pie.
Just kill her Rahs, it's not worth it
10814726
I seem to remember he was doing that so other people could see the Lectoids because it blocked their
pheromones they used to cloak themselves as humans. Or something like that, been a while since I watched the movie.
10813698 10815023
Found it!
Twilight has promised not to go after the Sirens, but that is exclusive to Twilight, and thus, won't matter a jot to Cadence, Chrysalis, Luna, Celestia or Jynx, all of whom will come after the trio.
Rahs..... you are the God of Theater..... learn to use your power to get appropriate music playing in these situations! Yeah you all know the one!
Okay, she's gone off the deep end. Discord! Reign in your kids before she pisses off the wrong Sparkle again!
Oh, yeah.... this is going to go SO well.....
"Note for future Element Class mission, have ponies able to handle any random idiocy these mare's decide to get up to! I don't care if it requires having an entire extra ship full of specialist in every possible field!"
And they would still end up not having the one they need.
Say it with me now! "It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it!"
See above.
Alright so..... this is going down now and let's hope being a God prevents from dehydration as well.... this is going to take a LOT of spit.
At this point, really hope this wraps up the Siren subplot because... after this her getting away and off to do more insanity of even larger scope will be pushing the bounds of plausibility.
10814049
Eh she's too petty, short sighted, and stupid to reach that level of threat and no way should she be allowed to roam free that long after all this.
I'm figuring season 6 Big Bad is most likely going to be Solomon making his move.
10815281
You mean there’s a right one to piss off‽
traumatizedramatize youAnd Spike? He’s the worst of the bunch; he’ll have a contingency plan that automatically sics the rest of the gods on you, or worse, lawyers. Pissing off any of the Sparkle siblings is a no-win situation no matter which one is targeted.
10814568
Evil Overlord Rule #11
I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.
10815286
Well, to be fair, Chrysalis in canon was fairly short sighted too. But I figured, with Chrysalis and Sombra's Adaptational Heroism (at least in comparison to their canon selves) in this series, they would both need replacements. Solomon would probably be taking Sombra's spot on the Legion (though with enough control over his ego to NOT try to go solo against Twilight and her friends, somebody else filling Chrysalis's spot (probably Adagio), Diamond (yeah, it makes sense that, with Chrysalis and Sombra both drawing the Adaptational Heroism cards, SOMEBODY had to get saddled with the Adaptational Villainy card to balance things out) in Cozy's role (at least in the sense of using the "Cozy Glow" identity as an alias before getting exposed and sent to Tartarus), Tirek taking HIS own canon spot (the only one of the main villains who DOESN'T have his spot taken by somebody else) and the real Grogar being the one behind it all.
Of course, I admit that I COULD be wrong (and most likely am).
10815657
Shining would only go the crush route as a last resort and for more likely to just stick you in a bubble and toss you into a jail cell.
Rahs would just neutralize you as a threat and then create a scathing play displaying your idiocy for all the world to see for all time.
Spike would just make you wish you were dead.
Twilight...... would answer that wish.
There is a hierarchy of how screwed you are with them.
10815668
Chryssi is both really good, and really bad when it comes to making schemes. Her schemes themselves tend to be really well thought out and successful, but she has a really bad habit of never thinking beyond them to how she deals with things after winning, and she tends to dismiss certain factors as too petty for her to notice because of her ego. She has flaws, but she also has strengths that make her a large scale threat.
Adagio does not, she's just a petty little mare-child throwing a hissy fit,she doesn't have the planning to pull off that sort of long term scheme, she's a low level thug who thinks she can tangle with Gods and get away with it because daddy never taught her how wrong she was about her own power, and instead indulged her.
Solomon, much more fits Chryssi, sneaky, subtle, taking his time for the right time to strike... plus his whole deal is finding ways to screw with Gods, hence being able to capture so many of them. Just with his own issues rather then Chryssi's.
As for the Legion of Doom, yeah story is hinting quite hard the real Grogar is going to be showing up, Solomon and Tirak make sense for minion, DT..... ehhhh possibly. There is enough time till then for some other threat to show up.
10816190
Indeed :3
