This is what we do chapter 37
By Foxgear
Adagio, Sonata, and Aria felt the power surge through them and into their notes. Fluttershy or whatever she was calling herself and her backup singers were knocked back by the commanding tones of their music. She giggled the tingling feeling of her power, made her feel light and bubbly, just opening her hands caused sparks to dance from her fingertips.
(So, this is the power of the Princesses… no, it’s not just them.) Adagio’s eye panned towards Sunset Shimmer, who was plowing through the vampire school girls. (Everyone helped. Its power that was freely given rather than taken.)
Friends, strangers, family, every type of relation, and feelings were poured into their new gems, freely given with all their heart. It was now floating here, a washed in golden light she finally felt she escaped her past. Now she was on the other side of the rainbow, ready to take out evil.
“Aria, Sonata, second verse!” She commanded with vigor. With a wave of her trident, she created a torrent of raging water that swept Fluttershy and the other up and into the sky. Aria and Sonata changed their tunes, the clouds in the sky began to rumble and roar with thunder. Flashes of lightning-sparked across the sky and struck the evil girls.
A raged filled scream come from the sky, and Rainbow/Ebony charged at them. Sonata summoned a golden harpoon and flew up to meet her. “Time for blue on blue violence!” She yelled intercepting Ebony, the two blue girls disappeared into the fog and smoke.
Ebony and Spite came down next each one preparing an attack. Aria struck an archer’s stance, a golden bow, and arrow of energy forming in her hands. “Might as well keep the color scheme going, come over here your pink bitch!” Firing she pierced Spite’s arm, a rope of energy formed around Aria’s hand as she dragged Spite towards the burning forest. “Good luck, Dagi!”
“Don’t need it,” she replied, twirling her trident in her fingers as Envy came to a stop across from her. Whips made of thorn vines grew out of Envy’s wrists, Adagio gripped the shaft of her trident and thrust it forward. “Well come on, bitch! I’ll show you what happens when you mess with my lover!”
“Blue vs. blue and I’m going to add some black!” Sonata bobbed under Ebony’s lightning infused punch smacking the Sin in the jaw and followed up with another strike in the shoulder, using the hooked end of her harpoon she plunged the tip into Ebony shoulder and dragged her into a sharp set of water claws. Sonata grabbed what she could off Ebony’s flat stomach and twisted it up, making it a bloody mess.
“Don’t fuck with me!” Ebony swung her spine sword and fired off her skull cannon more, and more bones grew over her body the aura of darkness growing denser.
Diving Sonata summoned gallons of water from the air turning it into a boiling harpoon which she threw at Ebony. The villainess shot a bolt of black lightning, the water absorbed it and splashed into her, scolding her skin and leaving behind red boils.
Smirking and feeling giddy from her powerup Sonata twirled around her harpoon like a dancer and rocketed toward Ebony, a jet stream shooting from the tip of her spear propelling her forward. She flew past Envy and willed the trailing water vortex to wrap around the other girl like octopus tentacles.
“I’ve watched enough…” Sonata muttered the genre embarrassingly. “To tell you where this is going!”
The water tentacles pulled and tore Ebony’s clothes, the bones growing on her body, and some skin, staining the water pink as her blood spilled freely. Sonata rightly felt squeamish at the sight of it.
“Wow… sorry Rainbow, I… oh boy… I’m not into that kind of stuff.”
Ebony growled, firing her skull cannon point-blank into the water, blasting it away. She floated in the sky drenched and bleeding, but her wounds were quickly closing. Flicking her wet hair out of the way, Envy screamed, bones grew out of her body at an alarming rate covering her in a second skin of grey as antlers grew from her head.
“Expect no mercy!” Ebony/Grau spoke at the same time. The silver gem embedded in Ebony’s chest was glowing brightly, the crystals expanding and digging deeper into her body.
Pulling her harpoon back, Sonata gripped the shaft tightly letting her magic explode in a bright gold/blue aura, extending her hand she began to chant rapidly.
“Goddess of water, Amphitrite, lay your blessing upon me and grant me mastery of your domain, Endless Fathoms!”
The snow outside of town vaporized and reformed into giant spheres of water that surrounded Sonata protectively. With her hands she directed several the water spheres to attack Envy, the balls surged forward like rushing waves sweeping Ebony up like an overboard sailor, the water coming alive hitting Ebony from every direction.
Sweating from her brow Sonata used her hands to direct the water commanding it to grab hold of Ebony’s limbs and pull them tight. With great effort, Sonata slowly clenched her first, the water ropes binding Ebony following the motion and squeezed like a snake squeezed its prey for the kill. Ebony raged, her words muted by the water surrounding her, air bubbles rushed to the surface as she struggled, the crystal in her chest sparked with arcs electricity.
“Please stop, just leave her alone.” Sonata pleaded, opening the water around Ebony’s head to she could speak. “You lost! Give up!”
Ebony still charging her attack screamed in pure rage and desperation with tears streaming down her face. “I deserve to live too!”
Sonata merely nodded, “I know, but you hurt my sisters.”
She closed her hands, the water tentacles twisted and crushed Ebony’s arms and legs, releasing a fine red mist of blood. Ebony’s body went rigged, the light from the crystal faded as the dark magic changed priorities to healing its host.
“Sorry,” Sonata lamented as she directed a water limb over Ebony’s heart, the tip of the tentacle flattened and froze into a fragile but very sharp blade of ice. Several more water limbs did the same, and they gathered around the glowing gem-like a pack of hungry sharks.
Ebony thrashed wildly, but the water tentacles holding her tightened, crushing her regenerating limps again. The ice scalpels plunged into her chest, a deep red mist obscured Sonata’s view, but she could feel the shards of Grau’s gem through her magic as her water limbs grabbed each and everyone, sending the broken pieces back to her and dropping them in her palm.
Recalling most of her water Sonata left Ebony hanging by her arms, a waterfall of blood poured from Sin’s chest. No Rainbow’s chest. Small red wings sprouted from Rainbow’s back, Ebony, the real Ebony, struggled to free herself from her failing host.
“Ebony… don’t… abandon me…” Rainbow Dash begged with sunken eyes. The black snake hissed angrily and snapped her jaws before freeing herself from Rainbow’s body and flying away. Rainbow croaked and then began to cry, coughing up handfuls of blood.
“I got you!” Sonata screamed, pulling Rainbow into her embrace and quickly landed on a random rooftop. Immediately she cast every healing spell she knew, her best one was only for healing light wounds, so Sonata was using the sheer power given to her by the Princesses and the others to overcharge the spell and hopefully save Rainbow’s life.
She sobbed her hands glowing with blue/gold magic over Rainbow’s slowly closing chest wound. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know what else to do! But you're going to be ok, you have to be! You’ll get a happy ending, I promise. I’m right here, so don’t leave me!”
Rainbow with dull raspberry pink eyes stared up at her, looking withered and tired. She reached out touching the end of Sonata’s transparent skirt with her finger. “So warm… I’ve been cold… for so long. I could… just… sleep… tell my mom… I’m sorry.”
Sonata wailed pressing more power into her spell, her wings disappeared, followed by her armor, her clothes changed back to normal leaving her with only two glowing gold pony ears until they to were gone, and the light faded from her hands.
“Rainbow!” She screamed, slapping the girl in desperation. “Wake up! Rainbow DASH! You're stronger than this! You’re a young youthful pain in the ass, so don’t go dying like a punk!” Rainbow didn’t respond. “Fine! If you won’t come back… I’ll make you!”
In pure desperation, Sonata positioned Rainbow’s neck and opened her mouth and locked lips, not to send air, nor magic, but life force, just enough to jump-start Rainbow’s soul. There was no theory or legend behind it, Sonata was flying by the seat of her pants, and so when she fell over top of Rainbow, she smiled when she felt the other girl's chest rise beneath her.
“That’s it, stupid girl, live because your too dumb to die.”
“Fuck you…” Rainbow wheezed.
“DIE DIE DIE DIE!” Spite chanted insanely as she propelled herself forward using her new timber feet to fire off explosions and fly like a rocket through the newly created forest. Setting that same forest ablaze with her reckless use of her power. She didn’t care, the woods could burn, as long as she killed the nuisance fleeing before her! “Come back here and fight like a woman!”
Aria far head of Spite spun in the air with her magic bow set and primed with crackling gold magic. A devious smirk played on her lips as she let the arrow fly, a golden flash blurred through the air and severed Spite’s timber arm for the third time since their chase began.
“You cowardly bitch!” Spite screamed, growing her arm once again. She stretched her wooden limp out, sending dozens of vines at Aria. The pink siren weaved and waved through the assault. The tips of the vines exploding when they failed to hit their target. Most vexing of all, Aria was still flying backward.
Leveling her bow once again, Aria took a breath and relaxed before releasing. “Nothing but a one-trick pony.” The shot went off like a rocket and once again Spite raised her fake arm to block only for the arrow to split. One hit the wooden palm, the other got Spite her right shoulder. The force of the bolt carried the pink villain backward and pinned her to a tree.
Stopping abruptly on a tree Aria created another arrow, her breathing smooth and steady, her eyes locked on her target. She thought up everything the villainized Pinkie Pie had done, what they all done. A proper hero, a decent person, knowing that it wasn’t their fault would feel a tinge of mercy or pity.
She, Aria Blaze, felt nothing like that. All she thought about was the pain and suffering inflicted on her sisters and family because these goody-good girls didn’t have the spine to keep back the darkness.
“I guess I’m a hypocrite because I couldn’t either, but I’m ok with that.” Aria zoomed in on Spite’s heart and then panned right and released!
“You bitch!” Spite screamed as her last flesh and blood limb severed from her body. “Don’t you care about this girl’s body?”
Aria drew back another arrow. “Can say I ever cared for that annoying bitch.” With precise aim and skill, Aria shot another shot in Spite’s left elbow join, and one in each knee, pinning her down completely. With one more final arrow, Aria aimed for her heart and released.
Spite screamed, Pinkie’s jaw a snarl of anguish, Spite, the snake slithered out of Pinkie’s mouth spread her wings and flew away.
Snapping her fingers, Aria forced her attack to dissipate into thin air, and flew over to Pinkie and snapped her fingers again, released her. She grabbed Pinkie around the waist and flew her down to the ground. With a grimace, Aria spotted Pinkie’s severed arm only a few feet away.
“Gods…” Reluctantly she picked the limb up and placed it against Pinkie’s stub and cast healing magic. Well, it wasn’t really healing magic, she didn’t know any, it was more of forcing the two pieces of flesh to reattach.
Blood vessels, bone, and hopefully nerves grew and reattached, a faint pink scar of new flesh appeared around the cut.
“Fuck…” Aria panted her transformation releasing. She really hoped she could have used it more.
Pinkie twitched, her body shaking as tears fell like a waterfall down her dirty bruised face. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” Pinkie sniffed.
Aria leaned back watching Pinkie cry, taking particular interest in the girl’s wooden limbs, they were still moving. Which was good, because she didn’t think they’d be able to recover her original arm and feet. And given that mare Platinum used prosthetics limb regeneration hasn’t been developed in Equestria either.
As Pinkie continued to cry, muttering out humble apologies. Aria finally had enough and crawled around the girl propped Pinkie’s head on her knees and began gently running her fingers through her hair.
“Shush, shush, it’s ok, everything’s fine.” Aria cooed gently.
“But… I… I did so many bad things… the people in the city… Maddie… oh god… Maddie! Is she?”
“I don’t know,” Aria answered, continuing to comfort Pinkie the best she could. The joyous party girl would never be the same, her innocence was shattered entirely. Aria touched the bark of the timber arm; it was smooth and bleached now. “But you're going to be ok.”
“Do you hate me?”
Aria closed her eyes, continuing to stroke Pinkie’s hair, “Not at the moment.”
“Thank you… for stopping me…”
She didn’t reply. What she did… it didn’t deserve thanks. Aria looked to at the cloudy night sky, Pinkie’s soft snores the only noise besides the distant crackle of the fire. The other pink girl had been through a lot and deserved her sleep, it won’t come easy after tonight.
“Is this… am I…” Aria couldn’t say it, she couldn’t smile or take joy in her actions. “I’m sorry.” She finally said to the slumbering Pinkie. “You deserved a real hero to save you, not a heartless bitch like me.”
“You won’t stop me!”
“Like I know what you're planning!”
“That’s what you get for being on the sidelines!”
Adagio smacked Envy’s claws strike with her trident and hit her with the shaft and followed up with a jab with the pointed base to the stomach. Twirling the spear, she jabbed with the three-pronged points skewering Envy’s arm. She pulled yellow villain close, enjoying the bloody nose Envy was sporting from an earlier attack.
“As someone who was a villain before, let me just offer you some advice. When your evil plans are unclear, it’s a sign of a lack of conviction. Really what are you hoping to accomplish? Taking the world back to the stone age? Let the animal roam free and rule the earth? Sounds like something a child would come up with.”
“What do you know!” Envy spat breaking out of Adagio’s grip, ripping her arm free of the trident. Steam rushed off her body as the wound rapidly closed, but Envy’s breathing was heavily labored. Adagio meanwhile was perfectly fine.
“I know that even supped on dark magic, you can’t fight back to back fights and expect to win when level 100 goddess shows up in the third round.”
“Do ever just get tired of being an arrogant bitch?”
Adagio shrugged, “Not really. And it’s not arrogance if its true right? I’m mean fucking look at me? I expect statues in my honor after this.”
Envy growled, letting out a sonic scream. To counter Adagio sang a high-pitched note to cancel it out. With a snap, Adagio summoned a ball of crackling yellow energy and fired it at Envy’s chest hitting the green alicorn amulet. The villainess’s body convulsed her limbs going limp, and she free fell for several seconds before recovering. Only to get knocked upside the head by the flat of Adagio’s trident.
“You think that will be enough!” Envy screamed annoyed; Adagio’s response was to shoot a lightning bolt through her spline. “What… what the hell… the girl…”
Adagio cut her off by dropkicking Envy to the ground, rocketing down and stabbing the heel of her boot into the wound and grinding it in deep. “You are vastly overestimating the fucks I give! You little snake bitches hurt my mate, hurt my sisters, and my sister in law, that’s everyone I genuinely love and care about, so don’t go expecting shit about mercy or friendship from me!”
Pulling her leg back, Adagio kicked Envy in the teeth! Two glimmering fangs flew into the air, Envy’s eyes were wide with shock as Adagio thrust her other heel into her mouth and leaned down with her weight. Only by the skin of her teeth did Envy manage to stop the heel from going down her throat.
“Yom’re mmhmm crazmmh bimmtch!” Envy gargled trying to with all her might to push Adagio’s boot off, her claws clanged uselessly against the armored fins adorning them. She was unable to focus between the panic of getting her throat caved in and Adagio’s other heel digging into spline.
“You like that? Huh? You fucking like that? Why don’t I get the bullwhip and call you my bitch! Because that’s what you are! Grovel! Grovel like the stinking useless cunt you are, and I might forgive you!” Adagio slapped Envy across the face leaving deep gash marks across her face. The siren eyed the shining green gem as Envy’s face repaired itself. Reaching down Adagio dug her nails deep into Envy’s chest grabbed the stone and pulled hard, strips of flesh clinging to the amulet as it came free. “Just give up!”
“I want to live! I deserve to live!” Envy screamed.
“Then you shouldn’t have fucked with my family!” With a twist and a pull, Adagio freed the gem from Envy’s chest, only a few strained muscle fibers keeping it linked to her body. Victory was well within her hand when Ebony appeared and bit Adagio’s hand!
“Fuck!”
Adagio let go of the amulet, cursing as Spite bit her exposed thigh. “Fucking stupid sexy armor!” She screamed, hobbling off Envy to tend to her wounds. Glaring as the two snakes placed the alicorn amulet back into Envy’s chest and merged into Fluttershy’s body.
“Oh… shit…”
Fluttershy’s body conversed her skin turning pitch black, the alicorn amulet sunk into her body as three sets of different colored wings sprouted from her back. Envy’s clothes disintegrated leaving her a naked and snarling mess as two extra sets of arms and two more heads with pony ears materialized on her shoulders. A tail burst from her butt, and her feet turned into hooves. The thing glared with its three sets of glowing red eyes, magic pouring off its skin menacing and vicious.
“Oh, what the hell! How do three snakes and Fluttershy’s body equal an Asura!” Adagio decried.
In a flash the naked black beast was on her, Adagio raised her arms to block the hits gunning for her face, but she quickly covered her stomach taking a barrage of blows to the face unchallenged. She spat blood and rammed with her shoulder to brake off the attack and headbutt the black monster. With some distance she summoned her trident, charged it with magic, and threw it.
“Poseidon’s Trident!”
Much like the Spear of Solaris used by Sixes, the trident became a concreted blast of gold magic with three points which scattered hitting the enemy thrice instead of once. One blast struck a face, another the chest, and the third severed an arm.
Adagio didn’t get long to celebrate. Black ink exploded out of the wounds, the arm instantly regenerating. The three mouths of the beast howled, extending its many limbs and filling its hands with fire, lightning, and darkness and fired all six attacks at once.
Creating a sphere of gold magic, Adagio clapped her hands, crushed the orb and spread her palms forward creating a shield. Blocking the attacks.
The Asura ran and jumped hoovering off the ground, and propelled its self with its wings. She could barely follow it with her eyes. Crafting another Trident, Adagio charged and threw it the three attacks missing completely. The monster made a sharp turn and came at her!
“Come and try it!” She shouted, taking to the sky and unleashing a wave of magic blasts to keep the Asura at bay. It laughed sinisterly reaching out with its arm, it’s gaze intent on her stomach.
“New… body…” the monster mouthed out slowly, its voice pained, not that Adagio cared.
Forging another Trident, she pulled back and aimed for the heart. “Sorry everyone, but don’t make me chose between my baby and Flutters because baby wins every time!” Eyes burning red and her wings changing from gold to black Adagio launched the spear, severing three arms, flying in close with fangs and claws bared the siren ripped and torn into the Asura. Pulling flesh, another Limb, and gouging eyes before hooking her fingers into the socket spinning it around and then straight into the ground.
Adagio stared down at the mangled body in the crater and floated down for a better look, but when her feet touched the ground, a wave of fatigue washed over her. Her wings disappeared, and most of her armor vanished, leaving her standing in a leotard with pony ears. Her breathing labored as she fell to her knees from the sudden drop in power.
“Shit… burned through that faster than expected.” Hobbling to the edge of the crater, Adagio was ready to start feeling guilty, but black ink was pouring out of Fluttershy’s mangled body and healing all the damage. One of the heads sneered as it sat up as the rest of its body regenerated. “Oh, fuck you!”
Knowing she was screwed Adagio did an about-face and took off running as fast as she could. The angry triple of roar of rage encouraging her to run faster.
“Shit, shit, shit!”
Adagio chanced a look behind her and saw the Asura flying through the sky after her. She looked ahead and focused on running, but deep down, she knew she couldn’t outrun it. For several long seconds she expected the tackle that would end her, but it never came. Perhaps foolishly she trotted to a stop to turn around an see what was going on.
“Stay away from my wife!” It was Mac! He was up and raring to go again, magic wafting off his body like fire. His big meaty fist clocked the center head in the jaw, bone, and teeth flying through the air. He jumped back as Kira came racing from behind and cut off all of the Asura’s arms, the elder Rinin sheathed her sword as she skidded to a stop and fell to her knees.
“Mac, Kira! Should you two be out here?” She asked, concerned. The two of them were in bad shape there was no way they healed enough to be fighting again.
Mac raised his fists as he stood protectively in front of her and Kira. “The Vampire Brides are all wrapped up, so Pony Mac gave me a magic transfusion. Make sure he gets an invite to the wedding.” He said while cracking his knuckles.
“Shadow did the same for me and Sixes, but…” Kira collapsed to the ground, Adagio grabbed her and dragged her away from the fight. “Sorry, I keep overestimating myself. I forget I’m no longer young.”
“It’s ok, you’ve done your share,” Adagio assured her as Fluttershy regenerated. She didn’t know what to call the Asura, it didn’t seem to have intelligence, it was just a rampaging monster now.
Bullets rang out as Feri came limping over the hill screaming in an unintelligent roar of a man with nothing left, but still willing to fight. Behind him came Stryker and several more regular humans with guns.
“Protect the miss!” He yelled, unloading into the Asura.
Flying through the sky in a pair of dazzling orange lights, both Applejacks came crashing down, landing into the mutated Fluttershy heels first. “You stay away from my sister in law!” Human Applejack roared using her sturdy legs to stomp the FlutterAsura into the ground, while Pony jack used a rope to try and bind the raging beast. The Asura snapped its jaws and broke free of the binds, forcing them back.
Next came Sunset Shimmer, shining like a blazing gold phoenix yelling, “Fist of Solaris!” And in a frightening display of power, she blew the Asura in half!
(Do they even know that’s Fluttershy?) Adagio wondered in a moment of clarity. The monster regenerated, and if she wasn’t dreaming, it was healing faster then they were actually hurting it. Though its new limbs were starting to look rather boney.
“En guard!” That was Rarity, brandishing two diamond rapiers. Dashing in close to the Azura Fluttershy and stabbing it several times and cleaving off an arm. The beast roared, grabbed the blades with its hands and crushed them, grabbing for Rarity, Pony Jack roped her with her lasso and pulled her away to safety.
“I got ya!”
“Thank you!”
Bullets peppered the tar colored skin of the beast, it roared and fired off multi-colored blasts of magic, spewing fire and lightning, throwing up vines to block attacks and threw exploding rocks at them. Everyone was rotating in and out of the fight, hitting the monster harder each time, every attack would have finished off any other beast, but the damn thing kept regenerating! Fluttershy’s body kept repairing itself, but with each regeneration her muscles became thinner and thinner until skin was clinging to bone.
“Don’t let up!” That was Sixes, he tossed something to Sunset Shimmer that caused her magic to flare up as she went in for her next attack. Her first blew the left head to nothing and when it regenerated the skin outlined the skull in a disgustingly creepy way.
“RAGH!” Mac went next ramming his scaled covered fist into the right head breaking its jaw and sending it to the back of its throat, boiling blood poured from the wound as the face rebuilt itself.
An excited cry of “Dagi!” Caught Adagio’s attention and she was happy to see Sonata running towards her. Her little blue sister rammed into to her with a sincere hug. Aria merely walked up with her usual smirk.
“I’m glad you two are alright, I was worried when the other two Snakes showed up.”
“Sorry about that, we let them get away,” Sonata said bowing her head.
Aria stepped up beside her watching as the assault on Fluttershy continued, Applejack delivered another powerful earth-shaking dropkick and somersaulted away, only to fall to the ground holding her foot.
“Agh! I think I broke my leg! Why is her head so hard now?”
Pony Jack grabbed Applejack and carried her out of the way as Flutter Asura crashed down where she had been and created a massive crater. She roared and sneered spewing fire from all three heads. Sunset went for another strike, but Fluttershy was able to parry it away, Sunset skipped across the ground stopping in a huddled position holding her hand, which was bleeding.
“She’s growing resistant! We gotta kill her or save her soon before she’s immune to everything!” Sixes shouted. He created a tiny amount of gold in his palm and tossed it at her and Mac, the gold becoming rings. He fell to the ground as they caught them.
“Mac,” She said, slipping the ring on.
“I know,” He replied, putting on his.
Adagio wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, the magic between them sparked and flared as the magic Celestia gave her transferred to Mac and his to her in a loop. A gold aura appeared around them, but it wasn’t enough, not yet.
“Take mine too!” Sunset yelled, shooting her own magic into them.
“Mine as well!” Added Rarity.
“Don’t forget about us!” Both Applejacks and Applebloom shouted.
Everyone with even the smallest spec of magic gave what they could, and their power began to rise. Adagio’s wings and armor reappeared as she and Mac floated into the sky, surging with power, but it still wasn’t enough.
“Dagi!”
“Mac!”
Sonata and Aria came running and thrust their hands into the air and added their magic as well. There must have been little kernel of Celestia’s magic left because Mac transformed again! Gold draconic wings sprouted from his back and his scales turned to gold.
Fully charged, they broke their kiss and hand in hand flew towards the corrupted Fluttershy. She fired six multi-colored blasts at them, and they raised their hands firing twin gold beams that ultimately overcame the six and blew off two of her arms. The arms fizzed and cracked the black skin flaking off and disappearing.
“Again!” She roared. Mac unleashed a stream of gold flames to counter the right head, she fired a blast at the right, and it disappeared. “Come on! Let’s finish this!”
“Right!”
Together she and Mac thrust their intertwined hands forward, unleashing a massive blast of gold magic that swept over Fluttershy completely, a sphere of gold-colored water formed around her the black skin flaking off to reveal Fluttershy beneath. The green Alicorn Amulet poked out of her chest and clattered to the ground. The gold water soaked into the ground causing giant pillars of light to spring up from the earth, smothering the fires across the land.
Floating to the ground wrapped in each other’s arms, she and Mac stood over Fluttershy’s pone body. The three snakes lay on the ground, their bodies slowly disintegrating to nothing. Pitifully they looked at them, their black eyes filled with fear and sadness.
“Mother…” They hissed one final time before disappearing completely.
