"Keep firing on them!" I shouted using my magic to burn the guns down.
"They're retreating." Dash said.
"They are not going to get far every back up before the guns explode I can't stop the explosions for ever." I said using my magic to give us enough time to run back before we were all burnt alive.
"Go ahead we are all out." Dash yelled out to me. I let go of the spell and used a force field on myself blowing the fire back as the explosion hit the heat was unbearable.
"Oh My Gosh!" Spitfire yelled out as she rushed when the fires subsided.
"Are you all right?" Spitfire asked.
"I'm fine just tired I can't use my magic or I will grow to tired." I said limping and tipping a bit towards the ground.
"We need to hurry." I said.
"Can you see the explosions still going on the sky is red and black." Dash said.
"Exactly let's move." I said trying to fly.
"Do you need some help?" Dash asked.
"Go on without me that's an order." I said to her. Dash saluted without any questions and took off.
I fell to the ground and was fighting my exhaustion when suddenly I fell asleep.
(What's this?) I though to myself. I saw Celestia being beaten with Luna and the others.
(What is this supposed to mean?) I thought to myself. I kept walking and found Gilda executing some guards.
(I don't get it.) I thought again.
"Now that we have been rid of anything that stands in my way we can get down to business bring forth the first prisoner Twilight." Gilda said.
"What....wha....do you want with me?" Twilight asked shivering in fear.
"Any last words?" Gilda said.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.
"You have an hour to live." Gilda said.
I woke up looking at my surroundings I was still in the same place as I was in before. Only no smoke and it was about Midnight one thing was different there were no gunshots it was quite to quiet. That dream it kept hitting me I had no idea what it meant.
(What does it mean!?) I thought to myself flying up to the castle. I spotted something the griffins were raising a banner. It had Gilda's face on it. I knew what this meant. I had to see for myself. I used magic to see what was happening. I saw Twilight next to Gilda with a gun aimed at her head and an Mmp was laid out but how did the griffins get something Discord used back then but he hid. I heard Gilda say "15 more minutes." Suddenly I knew what the dream meant thanks to my falling asleep I had costed us a mistake on vital info I forgot. I saw Discord on the ground battling off griffins still. I flew down to see if he needed help with anything. Also to ask him for help.
I flew down crushing a griffin as I landed.
"Where have you been?" Discord asked. I used my horn to light up the area to show him bits of shrapnel and burnt flesh.
"I became exhausted my body fell down and I passed out." I said to him.
"We need to get into the castle." I said to him. Discord nodded.
"Well then let's throw a little chaos into the mix." Discord said smiling.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You'll see." Discord said.
"I hope this ends well." I said to him giving a nervous glance.
"It should." He said to me. It was strange watching a non pony cast magic.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Slowing down time." He said to me.
"I could have done that." I said to him.
"And what kill your self from exhaustion?" He asked and told me at the same time.
"You have a point." I said looking down at the ground.
"You're going to have to sneak in." Discord said.
"What about you?" I asked.
"I'll be taking care of these assholes out here." Discord said pointing to the griffins.
"Ok let me know when I'm good to go." I told him.
"Go GO GO!" Discord said.
I flew up to the top of the castle to get through the top entrance.
"Hurry I can't do this for ever." Discord said over the com radio.
"I'm about to jump down now." I said back to Discord. I jumped through the roof and jump onto Gilda back she was to slow to react from Discords spell.
"I'm in." I said to discord.
"Great I'll be in later I have to take care of these griffins." Discord said.
"All right cancel the spell I disarmed her pistol and everything else." I said to him.
"Alright." He said and suddenly time sped up.
"You! You! I thought you were killed!" Gilda said getting up.
"No I'm very much alive." I said shooting the MMP.
"One of the scouts shot you in the heart." Gilda said. I stood up and showed her my chest which had nothing wrong with it.
"I had to much love for my friends to have my magic force drained to kill me." I said to Gilda.
"Touching to bad I must end it." Gilda said to me.
"RUN!" I said to the others.
"Not without you." Twilight said,
"You have to." I said.
"You can't leave when your caged." Gilda said.
"You monster let them go." I said.
"If you can defeat me." Gilda said.
"I'll kill you!" I said rushing into Gilda.
"Guards attack!" Gilda said. The doors opened and thousand of griffins rushed in. I grabbed my rifle and started to charge it. I was to weak to fully charge the rifle to fire and take out all of them. Suddenly Discord rushed in the room breaking a wall.
"Deal with Gilda I'll hold them off." Discord said. Using a magic to grown spikes on his tail and started swinging it at the griffins. Gilda took off flying through a window I took off chasing her. I was catching up to her I used my magic to put a barrier in front of her she smashed face first into the barrier falling to the ground. I flew down crashing into her making her fall much faster and painful. When I smashed her into the ground I heard several bones crack.
"Gilda give it up before I kill you just give me the keys and go." I said trying to talk logic into the griffin leader. She stood up and swiped her talon at my face.
"I guess you're dumber then I thought." I said taking off into the air to attempt to snap her back in half she moved out of the way making it a painful smash. I rushed into her slamming her into the wall she bucked me off ripping off some of my chest fur. I fell back into a tree which Gilda came to rush into I quickly sidestepped out the way making her slam face first into the tree. She was limping and clearly out of energy. I went behind to try and kick her in the back but she kicked me back enough for a bit of time for her to get into the air. I used my magic to freeze one her wings. I jumped on her wing and smashed it shattering it. I smirked knowing this was defeat. She used her other to slice into my flesh. I used a healing spell enough to not tire me out.
"You're tiring out as well." Gilda said.
"Perhaps but your body can't take much more of this." I said to Gilda.
"Perhaps you're right but I have enough body strength to take you on." She said limping backwards.
I grabbed a knife and threw it I caught Gilda off guard and hit her in the stomach. She picked out a feather and threw it at me they were razor sharp and hit me in the leg. She kept throwing them at me I used my magic to put up a barricade to protect me but my magic reserves were running out. I had one attempt to try this without tiring myself to death.
"Celestia grant me the strength to finish this one spell off." I whispered to myself. I began channeling a spell that I had no idea if it would work. A bright flash of white light happened causing the ground below me to collapse wiping out everything in front of me that I chose not to harm. Anything behind me was left perfectly still and untouched.
The cages were gone and Discord had finished off the griffins lying his jaw wide opened at what he saw me do.
"How......?......ho......how did .......you do.....that?" Everypony and Discord asked.
"I focused all my magic reserves to do it for some reason I'm not dead I tried to sacrifice myself to save everypony but hay I guess no being dead works as well." I said smiling met with hugs and small talk.
"Now what?" Twilight asked.
"We rebuild." I said to her hugging her.
"Oh yea and we actually get married and not keep lying." I said to her.
"Did I miss anything?" Shining Armor said walking back from where he was.
"Yea you missed a lot." I said repairing the ground and damage I did to the area.
"I can tell." Shining Armor said.
