The Butter Yellow Pegasus held the sword in her right hoof. Her left foreleg was holding the wound she had received from the Count. She felt so much pain rushing through her. Her blue eyes looked at him as she tried to stand.
"You must be that little Spanish brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. You've been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? I think that's about the worst thing I've ever heard," he said, "How Marvelous."
She struggles to stand up and he watches her. She falls back against the wall and he clicks his tongue.
"You've seemed to develop an unhealthy sense of vengeance. It's going to get you into trouble," he said as he thrust his sword forward. She blocked it causing it to hit her right foreleg.
He thrust forward again and she reblocked it causing it to hit her left. Finally, she stood to her hind legs and looked at him. Her eyes hardening at him.
"Hello My Name Is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die," she whispered.
"Excuse me, what was that?" he asked.
She thrust forward, visions of her father, of her real father being viciously killed by the creature in front of her flashed through her head. She cried out in anguish and struck his sword with an unknown skill. He blocked it and she looked at him, fixing her stare upon him.
"Hello My Name Is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!" she shouted.
He blocked her sword as she floated into the air and began fighting him with earnest.
Each swipe she could see her father, having worked on a beautiful sword, being killed, his work stripped from him as the count admired it. She could see the same count giving her two scars on her face as a reminder.
"HELLO MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA! YOU KILLED MY FATHER! PREPARE TO DIE!" she screamed.
"Stop saying that!" he shouted back at her.
She batted his sword away. and gave him a cut in the same place he had given her one so long ago.
"Offer me money," she said.
"Yes!" he exclaimed.
She slashes his other cheek.
"Power, too, promise me that," she said.
"All that I have and more. Please," he begged.
"Offer me everything I ask for," she said.
"Anything you want," Count Rugen said before knocking her sword away.
He lunges forward, but Fluttershy catches his arm and drives her own sword forward.
"I want my father back, you son of a bitch, if you don't mind," she whispered as she pushed the sword further into his stomach.
(Ten points to whoever can guess what's being introduced in the next chapter.)

Congrats on picking up the reference. That said, you're close, so close, but that's not quite what's happening.
A Spaniard in the next chapter.
Meh, I am not impressed. I have known too many Spaniards.

I don't know why that struck me as funny, but it did.
