It has been half a year since Twilight was crowned as Princess of Equestria, half a year since she and her friends had given up the Elements to save the Tree of Harmony.
Now Canterlot is under siege by an alliance of Griffins, Changelings, and Dragons who are determined to end Equestria once and for all. With the elements no longer available, the safely of Equestria lies on Pinkie Pie and Discord… and the next generation of princesses gatling guns.
Will Discord and Pinkie save the day? Will Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight have enough fire power to repel the invaders? Only time will tell.

For Discord, one princess is not enough. And if Twilight gatling could take down a lot of changeling's two princess gatling can take down entire armies.

Just the description
I'm pretty sure that 'art' is only for singular, and since Luna is addressing herself in plural with the royal 'We', this should be 'are'. Can someone with better knowledge of this please clarify?
I really don't like how the show writers in the season 4 opener, and many fanfic writers have Discord just act however he wants, with the Mane 6 having to convince him to help them. But the reason Celestia wanted him freed and reformed was so his power could be used for good. Yet I never really see this happen. It's always Discord acting with impunity, doing pretty much whatever he pleases. He should essentially be 'on a leash', so to say, bound to respect other ponies, and use his power for constructive purposes. I'm not saying he should be a slave necessarily, but his actions haven't really changed at all since he was reformed. He still does whatever he wants to other ponies, with really nothing other than words to control him, if you can even call it that.
Anyways, not a bad story, just riddled with spelling/grammatical errors. (mirror pull, we found our that, run our of soldiers, she left our a deep burp, the list goes on...)
Well, that was fun!
So random but fun watching all the Princesses being used as weapons.
Minor error here, "turning his white fur into rost black", do you mean Roast?
3743559
Wow, so many "our" was used instead of "out", odd. I hoped that my editors would catch this kind of mistakes, and even now I have no idea how did I miss them when I triple read this story. Oh well. Thanks for pointing them out, if you find any more mistakes, please report them and I will fix them right away.
As for Discord doing whatever he want, lets be honest, he always enjoyed spreading chaos and doing whatever he want. His reformation was lightly rushed and after elements were given away, he is free ( how you would feel if your so called friends held you on a leech, I doubt you would want to play nice with them the moment you are free ). I think Discord have potential to become a nice character, he even decided to not take over the world on his own free will, but this change need solid character development and bonds between him and mane 6 need to deepen, or else it will be unrealistic if he started to help everyone right at the start.
The only thing what I didn't like about him in the show was that he literally let Fluttershy go to everfree forest, I mean, he knew that he was cause of all those vines, he knew that Fluttershy may die in there, and he didn't went with mane 6 to ensure that Fluttershy is safe ( I would not mind if he didn't care about rest of mane 6, but lack of worry about his friend safely seemed odd to me ).

Glad you enjoyed it.

Lets be honest, Princesses are power houses, however in the show and in fanfics they are never used ( always pushed aside for the sake of the conflict ), as the result they always end up useless ( besides mane 6, but in the show, Twilight had to be rescued twice only because she was alicorn to show that she didn't became OP ).
I personally feel that since princesses have power, they should use them, not sit on their flanks and let their weaker subjects pull out 150% to save the world while they do not even use 10% of their power to help out.
At least in this fanfic, as random as it was, Celestia, Luna and Cadence got some kicking flanks screen time, and it didn't hurt the conflict in the slightest ( a good writer can give Celestia, Luna and even Cadence a chance to help, chance to kick flanks, chance to protect mane 6 without hurting the conflict or without using cheap moves where they are defeated or captured just to show how powerful villain really is ).
Long story short, no place for "princess peach" in my stories.
Also, thanks for pointing out a mistake, I fixed it. If you find any more, feel free to report.

True and it was nice seeing them participate how unwilling it might have been though I have to say Cadence's revenge on Shining for giving Pinkie the idea of tossing her through a launcher which Shining fired was just great also liked Cadence and Chrysalis' fight, seems like Equestria and the Crystal Empire has found a new weapon source. Also we need to have Discord armed with dual Princesses to be an actual piece of fanart.
Lastly some errors;
"Twilight repeated to herself as she ran through the castle’s hallway", extra space between the words,
“Yes, I am talking to you, Princess. I have listened to Fluttershy", two spaces between Princess and I as the other sentences only have one space this seems to be a mistake
3744188 a lot of mistakes, but I'm too busy laughing my... lungs? Or is it guts? I'll go with lungs. So, there are some mistakes but I'm still laughing over the total randomness of this. Gold star for you!
Was this a bet?

3744368
Fixed.
I would really like to watch art like this, the question is, who would be interested to draw it for free?
3745578
I am glad you could overlook those mistakes for the sake of humour, but if you can report any so I can fix them for the new readers, it would be great.
3745620
Yeap.
Discord made bet with Pinkie that he will trick Celestia or Luna the same way he tricked Twilight ( to rush into everfree forest ), Pinkie took it and since Celestia rushed to fight for her subjects ( same as Twilight rushed to help her friends ), Pinkie lost.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this story:
"I am Heavy Weapons Pinkie, and this... Is my alicorn."
3745955
I hope that line:
“I am Pinkamena Diane Pie, and this is my Twilight.” Didn't disappointed, though I wonder, should I change it too:
"I am Pinkamena Diane Pie, and this... is my Twilight."
Considering that Heavy called his weapon Sasha, I didn't feel using term alicorn would work better then Twilight.
3746000
true. either one would work. it just depends on your taste.
3745955
Eh...
"I am Heavy Weapons Pony... and THIS... is my PARTY CANNON!"
"What was that cupcake? Kill the all? GOOD IDEA!"
It's a pretty good story.
Eeek. Oopsie!
The group of ponies look upon the floor in sadness while Celestia sit and look at Discord impassively. The Spirit of Chaos dragged on, “I never thought you to be the kind of pony who think she was better than anypony else.”
That sit should be sat.
Celestia shake her head and bypassed her sister, “And it is working,” as she spread her wings and lit her horn. “Former captain, Shining Armor. Please lover your shield so I can join the fight and protect my kingdom!”
Lover should be lower.
Discord waved his claw at Twilight, “Pfff, excuses,” as another illusion appeared, an illusion where Twilight and her friends fought against changeling army. “You and your friends, even Fluttershy fought against entire army and knocked at least one hundred of your foes before losing a fight your precious princess send you to, forgetting that only she can open a vault where elements are being stored.”
First. Between against and changeling there should be a 'the'.
Second A repeat, there should be a 'the' between against and entire.
Third. Sent instead of send.
Fourth. Third time's the charm. A 'the' between where and elements.
Celestia blushed in a deep red while Twilight and her friends, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor and even guards glared in her direction, which caused Discord to laugh even harder, “Six mares fought against entire army before being defeated for minutes while you get your flank kicked in mere seconds, just because your foe was a little stronger, bwa, bwa.” Discord mocked, only for Pinkie to appear on his head.
Okay. Another 'the' between against and entire.
Trade 'in' for the 'for.
Bwa, bwa? This would lead me to hazard a guess that English isn't your first language. Boo hoo MIGHT be better. *shrugs*
Shining Armor, who for some unknown reasons was now wearing red hat with big letter ‘M’, was now doing his best to stop Luna from jumping in and tearing Discord apart, while Celestia didn’t dare to defend her failures, letting the spirit of chaos to have his fun before finally stating, “Alright Discord, I was relying on Twilight and her friends to protect my kingdom… Maybe even more than I should, but would you please get to the point,” she point her hoof towards the battle outside, “we are low on time.”
Between wearing and red you need an 'a'.
Point should be 'pointed'
Everyone’s look upon the pink mare who point her hoof towards the illusion of herself holding Twilight and using her as a gun against the changelings.
Trade ya Everyone looked for Everyone's look.
Another trade, pointed for point.
+-+
Cadence added, “She drained mine and Shining’s love and used against you, what if she prepared herself for combat. You cannot fight against the odds, auntie.”
As an aside, Chrysalis only drained Shining's love for Cadence. It was Shining Armor's and Cadence's love for each other that defeated her.
I'm a little tired for the moment. BUT, there's plenty to fix
3746094
Thanks a lot for pointing out those mistakes.
Also, my editor did small editing in beginning part of the story.
I hope that now there will be far less mistakes to worry about, but if you find any more, report them and I will fix them right away.
Once again, thanks.
3744188
Now that you say it, I do see that it is actually canon, there were never really any rules established on Discord in any way, perhaps because the reformation episode was poorly executed in my opinion, should have been a two-parter. There's little to keep Discord on check other than 'I hope he doesn't turn back on his friendship with Fluttershy', and even that's sketchy. I don't really like this however, guess I've read too many fics in which Discord is actually evil. (which I actually prefer, because, y'know, more ponies kicking draconequus ass)
That reminded me of the scene in the Heros of the Storm trailer, where diablo gets nuked.
This is too much. I think I spotted a Meet the Heavy reference in there... and a bunch of other references I don't remember at the moment. But nevertheless, Pinkie plus Discord equals insanity-inducing fun.
Weaponized ponies at its finest!
This fic is pure brilliance. Well done.
“Get out of the way Celestia, I have your student, and I am not afraid to use it.”
3754635
Yeap.
The princesses always were power houses, it is about time their power was used to save the day.
3763501
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed Nightmare Moon scene, I am sure that she had a lot of fun saying that line.
Also, it is sad that my story was not featured when I first uploaded it, it got so many upvotes in 2 days and yet it didn't end up in feature box. Now hardly anyone check it and just 2 upvotes for past 2 days. There goes my chance to get this shot comedy popular.
3764626 Well it's still getting a lot of traffic and approval, that's something to be happy about. I wish I got half this much attention
derp herp editor.......Hmm i wonder who that would be.....
me :3 ok mate om having issues with GDOCS as soon as it gets fixed ill start again
While it's not the most insane thing I've read, it's still pretty crazy, so you get credit for that. You get an Angeloo.
Correction: "This is bad. This is very, very bad!"
Video:
Twi: Ugh... 6 months of being a princess and we ALREADY have an attack.
They didn't use the Elements to banish Chrissy, Cadence and Shining put up the barrier again with their love.
Did I miss a tag on this saying 'Some adult content'?
I sense a ship...
Twilight and her friends were the only ones who could save her."
Celestia turned around
Old quotes and lots of laughter
... Time to learn how to fly, Crystal Empire style
I think I have a video that goes with this... The one in blue screaming is Shining but just add a higher voice
And another funny video, by the same guy...
[Break time, I must sleep. About half-way through.]

The invaders prepared themselves for this counterattack.
This kind of sentences are very rare so I assumed it is unnecessary.
Fixed. Sorry for all the grammar errors. I didn't want to distract my top editor from editing the main story.
Living with a time lord who have time machine give you a lot of possibilities for a good business. And it cuts delivery time to minus 10 seconds.
Cadence being a missile, round 2
See ya later then.
3778085
Thanks.
3746000 actually in that quote he didn't call his gun 'Sasha', that ws later with the cleaning freakout 'Who touched Sasha? WHO TOUCHED MY GUN!?'
All in all, I loved it
3790883 I love how you have this two-screen reply to me, and one word for the other guy...
Oh my gosh this is one of the funniest stories I've ever read well done good sir.
“Did she… did Cadence just feed Chrysalis with love and than used her as a weapon of mass destruction?” ...*looks through emoticons*... wheres a snow flake one when ya need it? ah well, this should suffice as a understatement:
that fic was awesome
3797691
Thanks
3800149
Snowflake, why I didn't thought about that.
UUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!! UUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! LAUGH SOME MOR!!!!!

Yea, Pinkie is best heavy. She can laugh all day.
4035666
Finally someone liked the StarCraft reference. I was afraid that I should have used other line for Sombra to say, but I just could not think of anything else that would work there.
I never voted on a story, before reading it, until now.
You had me at princess gatling guns.
THIS IS AWESOME
BEST STORY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4105688
Thanks, I really hoped to share some laugh with this sentence.
4123411
I hope that the outcome of the story didn't failed your expectations.
4337451
Not really the best story. It have many issues and it is far to long for one-shot story, and it take far to long to reach to the climax. But glad you liked it anyway.
4337583 well its more like the funniest
Well, from this story alone I found lots of First Person Shooter and strategy videogames refferences
Pinkie Heavy's speech plus Twilight Gatling (upgraded to Anti-tank/Anti-Aircraft firepower): Team Fortress 2
Supply Droop Team-Kill: Battlefield 2 & 4
Cadance IGLA: Battlefield 3 & 4
Akimbo Gatling-Princess: Call Of Duty Series
Harmony Launch Dettected (Sonic Rainnuke)/Need to build more additional pylons: Starcraft Series
Shining Riot Shield: Call Of Duty Series
NOVA Love Bomb: HALO series
Great Job, I couldn't stop laughting all over the floor!
4432970
Wow, you really captured all game references. I am glad they made you laugh.
Though my pre-reader told me that build up to the main part of the story is far to long and a bit distracting, but it was just an experiment, so no big lose.
4441165 While the Team Fortress speech was almost a give-away, the Call of duty ones were easy to get and as a Battlefield Veteran player I managed to identify the Cadance IGLA and the suply team-kill (At least there wasn't a "Only In Battlefield momment" parody), the starcraft ones were almost as iconic as Team Fortress and finally the only thing I know from videogames more stronger than a nuke was only the NOVA bomb from HALO
The build-up was actually fine, althought I don't think it was that an issue; This experiment was a complete success (it's a shame nobody has thought of anything to do involing Tirek)
Great story. However, it needs quite a bit of editing, and I am perfectly willing to take it upon myself to fix all the mistakes I saw.
It's an incredible concept...
But I find myself having a hard time getting through all the inserted jokes and references that aren't really needed and that rack up the word count. For a one-shot at nearly 9k words, it's a long read, and the comedy aspect was fading fairly quickly over time. Things like the bit with the cupcake and the guards, the sidestep to derpy's time-traveling delivery service, and the cadence/chrysalis sky-fight-skirmish-thing could be removed entirely and at no cost to the effect of the fic..
That's not to say it isn't funny, as I laughed at the Pinkie monologue, but after that, you kinda dropped the ball as far as the joke was going. I'm not sure what your overall goal was, but it lost steam too fast for me to finish
I'm sorry that I can't like this story, but I feel it does not do the idea/coverart justice
