Sorry You'll Have to Wait a Little Longer, BUT... · 12:30am Mar 17th, 2016
“Don't know why I expected you to be late,” Derpy said to Rainbow Dash as Rainbow arrived atop the cloud. “Guess I should apologize for that up-front.”
“Derpy, I know you're not going to listen to me, but I have to at least try to tell you something,” Rainbow said, her expression declining into a pleading sadness. “You don't have to do this. We don't have to fight. If you surrender now and come with me back to Canterlot, I promise that we'll find a way to save you. Me, Twilight, the Princesses… everypony's hard at work right now, as we speak, to find some way to save you. If we fight, one or both of us will die. But if you come with me, we can both live. You don't even have to join the Harmony Rangers. Just let us help you, let us free you, and then we never even have to speak ever again.”
Derpy was silent for a moment before looking down at her hooves and chuckling. “That's just like you, Rainbow Dash…” Derpy said. “Always looking to end things fast.” Derpy then looked back up at Rainbow Dash, her expression becoming serious again. “I appreciate the sentiment. I really, truly do. But I'm afraid this story isn't going to have the 'sunshine and rainbows' ending you're hoping for. No, we're going to fight. You can try to talk and mercy me all you want, but neither of us will walk away happy with that kind of fight, now will we? You're itching to go though with this final duel just as much as I am.” Derpy then pulled out her Thunder Coin. “Tell me I'm wrong. I dare you.”
Rainbow Dash sighed before donning her Element of Harmony and looking up at Derpy while returning the intense expression. “I tried to give you the easy way out, Derpy,” she said. “I tried to save you. But now… I won't be held responsible for my actions.”
“That's just what I like to hear,” Derpy said with a smile. “Now then… may I have this final dance?”
In an instant, the cloud the two ponies were standing atop exploded in a flash of red and green light. Startled ponies in the vicinity looked up to see the Red Harmony Ranger and Green Chaos Ranger in the epicenter, both of them hanging in the air, both with their blades drawn, and both staring each other down. A massive aura of energy could be felt by earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi alike as they all either looked on in amazement, or retreated until they felt they were far enough away to do the same safely.
”This is it…” Rainbow thought to herself.
RISEN FROM THE DEAD, "MY LITTLE PONY RANGERS" IS FINALLY ABOUT TO RETURN! My only problem, however, is finding hype music to go with the battle. (Yes, I'm that petty.) So... STRAWPOLL TIME!
(Regardless of which song gets how many votes, you're gonna have to wait a while before the chapter comes out. I estimate around next week, though.)
(Also, I'm kinda leaning towards Battle 3. Just saying...)
