The battle in Ponyville between the monsters that had invaded the city and the eight friends was turning in favor of the latter: Pinkie Pie with her cannon had managed to eliminate one of the two quadruped beasts. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had killed two of the twelve winged beasts. Elias had instead eliminated four of the six bipedal creatures, but with the help of the pink pony, he had managed to kill the last two biped monsters and four winged monsters. Now the young soldier flanked by Pinkie Pie was heading quickly to the two students of Princess Celestia and the cowpony to help them defeat the last remaining quadruped beast. As soon as Elias and Pinkie reached Twilight, Sunset and Applejack, they immediately noticed that the two unicorns and the Earth Pony were surrounded by a red and purple protective magic sphere and that the quadruped was trying to penetrate the barrier through bites.
"Resist girls!" Elias shouted. The cadet without further delay immediately launched himself on the offensive, and activated his equipment of the three-dimensional movement by shooting the hooks towards the hideous beast. As soon as the hooks pierced the monster's flesh, Elias catapulted to the enemy thanks to the acceleration generated by the gas of his equipment, quickly arrived at the monster and to stick the blades on his back. The beast at the impact of the blades in his flesh, he stopped attacking the ponies and tried to shake off the cadet, struggling violently. The young soldier of the 104th cadet corps despite the ferocity with which the beast wanted to throw him away, kept his grip and slowly was approaching the head of the monster to be able to eliminated it permanently. But Elias, in approaching his goal had not realized that the quadruped had an ace up his sleeve.
"Elias, behind you!" The ponies screamed. A tail emerged from the back of the repulsive beast. But this was completely composed of bones and the shape resembled that of a scorpion. Thanks to the ponies Elias was able to notice in time the surprise attack and to divert the attack with one of his blades, but the undaunted beast continued to launch several shots with his tail. The young cadet found himself in great difficulty: with one hand he had to keep his grip on the beast, with the other he had to deviate and parry the attacks and all this he had to do while the beast tried to get it off his back. But the difficulties lasted very little for the young cadet, because the monster's tail was blocked by a lapse launched by Applejack, which with the help of Pinkie Pie, held the deadly weapon of the quadruped. At the same time Twilight and Sunset made their move, both of them creating magical laces with which the purple unicorn used them to grab the right hind leg and the right front leg, while the orange unicorn grabbed the left hind leg and the left front leg. Doing so, the ponies immobilized the hideous beast, and Elias took advantage of the opportunity given by the ponies to balance on the back of the monster, and stuck the blade into the monster's skull, ending his life.
"We ... we did it." Said panting Applejack.
"Yes, we did it, great girls, you were fantastic!" Elias exclaimed.
"Thanks Elias, you were exceptional too." Sunset said.
"Yippie! We have defeated the monster!" Pinkie Pie cheered.
"It's still early to celebrate guys, we still have to help Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow." Twilight said.
"Twilight is right." Elias said. "Our friends need our help, let's go!"
"Ok!" the ponies exclaimed. The five friends after killing the last four-legged beast began to head quickly to the three ponies that were busy fighting the last four winged beasts, which shortly after became three thanks to Rarity, who with a paralyzing spell had hit one of the creatures making it fall towards one of the burning houses, and so make it die charred.
"Nice shot, Rarity! You did a great job." Said Applejack.
"Oh Applejack, it was a simple self-defense spell, it was nothing exceptional." Rarity said, blushing at the farmer's words.
"That does not mean that what you did was not exceptional." You were very good. " Applejack said looking into the eyes of the beautiful white-coated pony with a smile.
"Thanks Applejack." Elias could not help but notice the "curious" interaction between Applejack and Rarity. That there was something special between the two ponies? Doubt was put into the background when he noticed one of the winged beasts he had brought behind Fluttershy and the scarlet flames were brewing in his jaws.
"Fluttershy, behind you!" Elias shouted. The timid pegasus hearing the scream of his friend turned quickly behind him and saw in time the monster who was about to shoot a fireball from his mouth. As soon as the beast launched its attack, Fluttershy, thanks to Elias' warning, managed to avoid the fiery attack, but now the flaming ball was approaching dangerously towards Rainbow Dash who was busy fighting one of the other winged beasts.
"Dashie, Careful!" Pinkie shouted to warn her friend of the imminent danger. But Rainbow not only managed to dodge the blow with mastery, but also made sure that the fireball hit the enemy she was facing.
"Oh Yeah, Here's what it means to stand against the most awesome pegasus in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as the monster was consumed by the flames.
"Come on, there are only two girls left, we can do it!" He encouraged Elias, but Sunset noticed something strange in the last two creatures left.
"Elias, girls, look!" The orange unicorn said, indicating the two winged beasts.
"What are they doing?" He asked Twilight, seeing the two monsters that had begun to fly in a circle between them. It was as if they were performing a dance in the sky.
"Maybe they're doing a courtship dance between them?" Pinkie said.
"I seriously doubt that at any moment those monsters start doing courtship dances." Said Applejack.
"Why not? Love can bloom at any moment."
"As much as I can agree with you Pinkie that love can bloom at any moment, in this case I agree with the thought of Applejack, those two monsters are not wooing, in short, look at them! They are so ungainly in their movements Even Rainbow when she's drunk could be more graceful than they, and she's practically nothing about grace and composure. " Rarity said.
"Thank you ... Hey, look, I can be graceful every time I want, I just do not like it."
Elias, meanwhile, the ponies argued with each other, had remained to watch the two creatures, the more he watched them and the more a bad feeling grew inside him. And that feeling became certain when the beasts interrupted their "dance".
"Girls, beware! Whatever they are doing does not bode well!" Elias said warning the owners of the Harmony. Shortly after stopping their dance, the two monsters rushed toward each other at full speed. But instead of crashing, a strange light enveloped them. The eight friends had to cover their eyes so much that the light that had been generated by the beasts was dazzling. When Elias and the ponies opened their eyes at the end of the strange phenomenon, they were shocked by what they saw: the two beasts had merged, and had generated a winged creature that had to reach at least seven meters in height. The only thing that the eight heroes managed to say was ...
"What the hell ... ?!" but their thoughts were interrupted when the seven-meter beast uttered a mighty roar and swooped toward the heroes.
"Attention, monster coming in at twelve o'clock!" Rainbow Dash screamed.
"Twelve o'clock, but if it's ten o'clock in the morning!" Pinkie said, confused by the affirmation of the multi-chrome pony.
"It's a way of saying Pinkie. Careful!" the eight heroes managed to dodge the ferocious assault of the gigantic monster at the last moment. Elias took advantage of the fact that the monster was giving his back trying to grab him with the hooks of his equipment to be able to launch the attack, but the monster with one of his wings deflected the hooks making nothing the offensive of the cadet. Elias tried twice more, but the monster seemed to understand the intentions of the soldier in advance and for two times he avoided being taken. After having avoided Elias' second attempt to hook up, the beast shot a powerful tongue of fire out of its jaws to the soldier who was hit in full. But the timely intervention of Sunset Shimmer prevented to make Elias roasted meat protecting it with a magic sphere.
"Thanks Sunset" The soldier said to the orange unicorn. "Damn! I can not catch it with the equipment and the houses are too low and damaged to be able to use them efficiently."
"Maybe I can help you." Sunset said. "I think I know a suitable spell for the occassion." Princess Celestia's student, after loading the spell, placed her horn on Elias's equipment.
"What spell did you use?" Elias asked curiously.
"Wait, it's not finished yet." Sunset charged his horn again, but this time he cast the spell to the sky, and several light spheres began to spawn at various points and heights of Ponyville.
"I have enchanted your equipment so that it can hook onto the shining spheres I have created, so you can use them to give you the thrust necessary to engage in an airshift, and do not worry, except for the equipment hooks, the spheres are intangible so do not worry about banging us. "
"Sunset, you are great and brilliant! It is not hard to believe that Celestia has chosen you as her pupil." Elias said enthusiastically, making the orange unicorn blush. "Ok, now let's get rid of this monster once and for all." The soldier taking advantage of the spell of Sunset, began to twirl in the sky thanks to the equipment of the three-dimensional movement. The young cadet without delay, he launched towards the monster to launch the offensive, but the giant was faster than its smaller counterparts, so he managed to dodge the attack without too much trouble. But it was not only Elias who attacked, the monster also launched several attacks, but the young cadet, thanks to his training and the spell of Sunset managed to avoid the blows of the horrid beast. The ponies were enchanted by the skill of the soldier with the equipment of the three-dimensional movement.
"Wow, Elias is magnificent, even if 20% less than me, but it's still magnificent!" Rainbow Dash said stupefied.
"It almost seems like a second nature for him to fly in the sky like this." Fluttershy said, kidnapped by the soldier's skill.
"We see that our friend has trained hard to master this style." Said Applejack
"I bet if it was a pony, our Elias would be a fabulous pegasus." Rarity said while admiring her human friend.
"Nah, it would be an Earth Pony like me and Applejack." Pinkie said.
"Why an Earth Pony?" Twilight asked.
"Because the author said that by answering a CupidCupcake's question that asked him if Elias would become a pony in this story and he told him no, he would not have become a pony otherwise this story, which is a Human in Equestria, it would have lost its charm, but if Elias had become a pony it would have been an Earth Pony. " The other ponies at Pinkie's answer remained extremely confused.
"Pinkie ... but what ...?"
"FIRE BALL IN ARRIVAL !!" shouted the pink pony, pointing to the flaming sphere that was coming in their direction. But Twilight and Sunset quickly created a protective barrier that made her escape from the attack of the disgusting beast.
"Ok girls, let's stop wasting time, we have to help our friend get rid of that monster." Sunset said
"But how can we do?" Fluttershy asked
"In the same way we defeated Scarlett."
"But it will take a few minutes before we can launch the Ray of Harmony. Do you believe that Elias will be able to resist while we load the attack?" Twilight asked.
"I do not believe it, I'm sure." Sunset replied "Elias! Hold on for a few minutes, and our signal attracts the monster to us!"
"All right!" Elias answered. The young cadet had sensed the intentions of the ponies, and so the only thing to do was try not to get killed. The monster was trying in every way to kill the human, but without success. Elias, thanks to the training and the magic of the Elements managed to keep up the monster, in fact the young cadet took advantage of an opening that was created in the defense of the monster had managed to hit him in one eye. The monster in this affront became more angry and fierce than ever to begin to put Elias in trouble. But when the monster seemed to get the better of it, Sunset called the soldier, so the latter launched himself in the direction of the pony chased by the horrid winged beast. As Elias and the monster found themselves within the range of the keepers, the latter launched the powerful ray of Harmony towards them, but the soldier using one of the bright spheres created by Sunset, avoided the ray, but the winged beast did not he had the necessary readiness to dodge the pony's offensive and was hit in full. The monster was turned into stone by the Ray of Harmony and when it reached the ground it shattered into pieces. Elias and the ponies approached the remains of the monster to make sure it was actually dead while the magical aura that covered the heroes faded to disappear.
"We did it!" the eight heroes shouted at the monster's defeat.
"We were awesome!" Rainbow Dash screamed.
"I'm glad this nightmare is over." Fluttershy said.
"Now that the last monster is dead, we must go to help the citizens of Ponyville." Twilight said.
"Twilight is right, let's split up and try to help those in need." Elias said.
"Ok!" said the other ponies. So the group split up to be able to help the citizens who had suffered the attack of the beasts.
