I was inspired by the picture on Deviantart by kaiamurosesei (the title pictured used with his or her permission.) and I love Cartoon Network’s Mad. I originally wanted this to be a serious drama one-shot fic but there is no way I could pull that off with a story about a bird worrying about his unicorn girlfriend! I tried to incorporate the humour of the mad show as best as I could!
Disclaimer: I apologise for any jabs against the writing staff of Mad and the creator of the Mordetwi ship (I think) Cartuneslover16 or her story Chaotic Order. I respect them and even though it doesn’t make sense to me I do enjoy Mordetwi pics and fanfics along with Chaotic Order!
It was wartime in England, it was the time of World War I even though they called it the Great War because they didn’t know that would have a second world war but we are calling it World War II so they movie going public will not get confused, okay?
In the library shaped like a tree a light purple unicorn pony with a dark purple mane was using the magic in her horn to pack her things into a suitcase. She was Sergeant Twilight Sparkle of the unicorn army.
Then entered was a humanoid bird with grey feathers, a bit of blue and white going down his belly. He was Mordecai, Twilight’s boyfriend as apparently it is A-okay for a unicorn pony to be with a bird.
“Hey Twi” greeted Mordecai who frowned seeing the sad look on Twilight’s face.
“What’s the matter?” asked Mordecai looking worried at what could be troubling his girlfriend like that.
“You know that we are in war?” asked Twilight.
“You mean God of War?” asked Mordecai.
“No” said Twilight shaking her head.
“Gears of War?” guessed Mordecai again.
“Think movie” said Twilight giving Mordecai a hint.
“War of the Worlds?” asked Mordecai.
“No” said Twilight “we are not in war with aliens.........at least this time so we don’t have to waste our budget on stupid CGI effects and explosions.”
“A war between Team Jacob and Team Edward” asked Mordecai.
“Seriously this show makes way too many Twilight jokes, why am I cursed to share the name with that so called ‘saga’ anyway?” muttered Twilight before shaking her head.
“It’s World War I” said Twilight getting impatient “and the earth ponies and pegasi are at war with us Unicorns!”
“That’s the story of World War I?” asked Mordecai, he didn’t know history or rather current events as it is very well but that sounded fishy to him.
“Yeah as the sequel World War II is about the peacocks and the dolphins.......” said Twilight only to stop as that didn’t make sense to her either “anyway as sergeant of the Unicorn army I have been sent to fight in the war tomorrow morning!”
Mordecai then gasped, a tear fallen down his eye as he realised his girlfriend will be leaving for who knows how long and she just might never return as she just might die on the battlefield.
The next morning Mordecai was at the train station to see Twilight off. She was wearing a dark green army hat (with a hole in it for her horn) and a dark green army jacket.
They both silently cried as they both hugged before Twilight set off for the war.
Soon Mordecai was sulkin in the library as a party was being thrown. Then came up to him was a light purple racoon. He was Rigby, Mordecai’s best friend (even though he and Mordecai should be a different colour).
“Some party huh?” asked Rigby “I even got the cast of Jersey Shore to come along!”
In the hot tub was the Stituation, Paul D and Snooki. Next to the hot tub was Carl from Up who said “I swear all of these skits are tyring to put as much unnecessary refferences in as they can!”
“Twilight is in the middle of a war........i must save her” decided Mordecai “but how? Should I get a blonde wig and cosplay as a Lord of the Ring Character? Nah that’s stupid!!!”
He then got an idea and then got out form a drawer the Green Lantern ring he got from Blu from Rio. He then put it on.
“I am going to become a Green Lantern again and save Twilight!” said Mordecai “now time for me to speak the oath of the new Green Lantern Corp:”
In brightest day, in blackest night,
Despite our shape, our size, our height,
We're birds, who walk, which isn't right,
But starting now, we will take flight!
Then Mordecai glowed green and a light green uniform appeared on him along with a green symbol which was a green circle with a line at the top and bottom of it. His feathers and beak also turned green and he now had white gloves.
“Now to save Twilight” Mordecai said as he flew to the sky in a flash of green light.
Rigby realised Mordecai abandoned him to become a Green Lantern.....again and then said “he should be back here for me any time now........”
In the battlefield the unicorn and pony armies had just settled their differences. There was also Tintin, Captain Haddock, Snowy the Dog, the Unicorn ship and Albert Narracott (but that is another story).
Mordecai then arrived and floated down. Twilight excited to see her boyfriend again ran up to him and they shared a kiss.
“Mordecai!” asked Twilight excitedly as he let her go “what are you doing here........and why are you green?”
“I am a member of the new Green Lantern Corp” said Mordecai “and I am here to rescue you!”
“No one needs to be rescued” said Twilight smiling as her fellow Unicorns and the opposing pony army were looking peacefully at each other “the war’s over because unicorns and ponies are at peace!”
“Just like that?” Mordecai questioned sceptical that an entire war (one that’s worldwide even) can just end with two armies making peace with eachother.
“Just like that” Twilight confirmed with a nod of her head.
“Great I got the ring on for nothing” grumbled Mordecai “now what am I going to do?”
“Go home with me and we can make up for lost time?” asked Twilight as she floated up (because apparently despite the fact they don’t have wings they can do that) and kissed Mordecai on the cheek.
“I’m fine with that” Mordecai said with hearts in his eyes. He and Twilight kissed again before flying off into the sky.
“So why were we at war again?” asked a light pink pony with a dark pink mane.
“I honestly can’t remember” said one of the unicorn soldiers shrugging.
