Equestria 64
Screwball flew through the air, her swirled eyes scanning the ground below. Tsunami had said they were looking for three large totems that were used to absorb the planet’s magic. If they could find them and prevent their use, the world could be saved.
The other members of the team were also searching around different parts of the world to find the totems. Then Tsunami would transport them together and plan their attack.
Suddenly, she heard Spruce’s voice through the communication device in her ear.
“I think I found them. Three large, silver towers just outside the Everfree forest.”
A few moments later, the group had been transported back together, looking at the totems from within the forest area. Several ponies were around the totems, getting them ready and watching for any curious passing individuals who might get in the way.
“Alright. Here’s the plan.” Tsunami started. “Nightmare Rarity, you’ll get the main guard out of the way while Chrysalis takes his place. Chrysalis, your job is to make sure they don’t start the machine. Twilight and Rainbow, when the action starts, I need you to defend against air attacks. Pinkie, use your explosives to make a hole in the center machine. Applejack, I’m gonna need you to cover me while I use the hole Pinkie makes to fully deactivate the totems. Screwball, the enemies are going to be all over the place. Have fun with them.”
“What about me?” Asked Spruce.
He held up his hoof a moment before sending Rarity and Chrysalis to start their part of the mission.
The guard was looking around intently, ready for just about anything. Unfortunately for him, that didn’t include the blackness that suddenly dragged him away before he could make a sound. Chrysalis, now disguised as the guard, quickly took his place. She moved closer to distract the ponies setting the totems up.
Seeing the first part of the plan working, Tsunami turned to Spruce.
“You do realize if this planet gets destroyed, every innocent creature on it will also get destroyed, right?”
Spruce knew this was true but it hadn’t really occurred to her until he brought it up. Her eyes began to fill with rage as she started growing. Within moments, Saddle Rager was standing among them, looking to smash something.
“Go get ‘em.” Tsunami said, pointing to the ponies guarding the totems.
Rager charged forward, swatting a group of ponies away with a single blow. This was the signal to start as everyone began their part of the mission.
Rainbow and Twilight took to the air, engaging the pegasi already up there before they could recover from the shock of seeing the massive Saddle Rager. Rainbow used her military training to quickly move from one enemy to the next, taking them out with ease. Twilight had to admire her skill but knew she didn’t have time to slack of herself, firing a beam of energy to knock an opponent out of the sky.
Screwball was floating above a group of confused ponies thrashing around in the chocolate milk lake she had created underneath them. After a moment, she realized something was missing. With a though, she had whipped cream raining down into the lake.
“That filly’s crazy!” One of the swimming ponies yelled.
Her eyes lit up in anger. “I’m not crazy! I’m Screwball!”
She telekinetically lifted the pony out of the lake and sat him on the ground before creating a giant stuffed bear and dropping on him. She giggled as he struggled to get out from under it.
Pinkie side stepped as Rager ran by, three ponies hanging from her back. The energetic high school student pulled a batch of sprinkles from her pocket and used her geode to charge them up before hurling them at the center totem. Upon impact, the sprinkles exploded, breaking a hole in it.
Tsunami and Applejack ran to the damaged totem. Applejack bucked an enemy away as Tsunami went to work sabotaging the totem. Several guards attempted to move in but AJ easily dispatched them. However, more guards started joining in, wanting to get to Tsunami.
Pinkie fired some more sprinkles, forcing the guards to back away. They went from backing to running as Saddle Rager started heading back in their direction. Everything seemed to be going as planned and the enemies still hadn’t managed to recover from the surprise.
At the second totem, Chrysalis was taking down guards, still disguised as one herself. Two enemies, becoming wise to her trick, tried to move in on her. However, she tackled one, quickly transforming into him and throwing off the other one. With both confused, she was able to take them down.
Finally, Tsunami managed to finish his work, completely dismantling the totems. He began gathering the others together as the guards went into full panic mode, having failed their mission. A few of them tried to continue the attack only to have their deepest terrors forced to the front of their minds by Nightmare Rarity.
As the guards ran away Tsunami quickly got everyone together.
“We need to follow them.” He said. “We can find their hideout and end this.”
Before he could take a step though, he was mysteriously knocked to the ground. The others stopped confused before, one by one, they too were knocked down.
“I’m afraid I can’t let you follow them.” Came a voice, seemingly from nowhere.
Everypony tried to defend themselves but with no sight of their opponent, they were easily outclassed. After a few moments, the attack stopped but it was too late to find any of the guards. Instead, Tsunami got them all together so they could regroup and plan their next act. As they disappeared, Inside Scout left her invisible state and scowled. The master was not going to be happy.
