The Battle of Paradise City 2 - Destruction at Nightfall

by DangerDean


Chapter 4 - The Calm Before the Storm

As Oscura’s army inspects Paradise City, the time hits 22:50 and the Legion of Speedfreaks were in Grange Hill junkyard, still waiting for their ‘assistance’ as Danger calls it. The team currently consisting of Rainbow, Pinkie, DangerDean, Sunset, Starlight, Aria, Sonata, and Blazey. If they did strike with only eight 8 cars against an army of 15,000 cars. The chances of survival are slim to zero and Danger knows that Oscura is more evil than ever before and she will not rest until the playing field is more in her favour.

Meanwhile, Aria was talking to Rainbow Dash about what sort of help Danger called to assist them in the fight against Oscura.

“So... Do you know who he called, by any chance, Rainbow,” she asked, wanting to know the full story.

Rainbow thought as she was getting concerned as to what Danger had pulled off.

“Not really,” Rainbow Dash said. “But I assume he’s got it covered. It just... What will Rarity and Twilight think about all this, because since we heard the cacophony of engines.”

“Are you alright, seriously, Dashie?” Aria then blurted out as she noticed she became down all of sudden.

“No.” Rainbow responded as she let out tears to her eyes. “They may be captured and...”

Then, concern hit Aria like a bullet.

“And what?” Aria spoke as her tone changed to horror.

Rainbow then let out a sob as she came to the truth.

“They may be...” Rainbow struggled to speak as the horror had reached breaking point. “They may be... They may be...”

Starlight then approached the two ponies and wanted Aria’s attention.

“Aria!” She annonuced as she saw Aria comforting Rainbow Dash.

“What is it, Starlight?” Aria responded as she faced Starlight.

“Danger would like to see you. He may have the help we needed. He’s parked north of Maguire Road.” Starlight then announced. What she didn’t see was the fact that Rainbow was crying, probably relating to Twilight and Rarity being captured by Oscura.

Starlight then took Rainbow Dash inside to cheer her up. While she did this, Aria got into her Hunter Spur and drove off.

Meanwhile, Danger was enjoying himself and talking with a group of fearless racers from Equestria. The pony that Danger was talking to was a male sapphire-blue pegasi stallion with a white and red Thunderlane-esque mane and a cutie mark consisting of a fireball and a white six-pointed star. His vehicle choice was a light blue Carson Inferno Van and he goes by the name ‘Star Blazer’.

Beside him was a light-pink with a light-grey tone female unicorn with a mane style similar to Starlight’s. However, the colours were white and cyan and her cutie mark is a diamond with two white lightning bolts on each side. She is also standing next to a white Rossolini LM Classic which she chose because she has a Rarity-esque personality. She is even the sister of Star Blazer and she goes by the name ‘Diamond Blazer’

Standing next to her was a dark crimson female peagsi with black and light purple mane in a style similar to Twilight’s, she, like Danger, has a guitar on her cutie mark, but it had two fireballs with it’s trails forming an ‘X’ and the guitar was in the center of the fireballs. She was also sitting on her front of her purple Carson Annihilator with black stripes as it’s livery. Her name is ‘Crimsonia Dragonsfire’.

“It’s been a pleasure to meet you,” Danger complimented the group. “I told Starlight that I’ve found help.”

“You are very kind, Danger.” Star Blazer said as he heard Danger’s compliment. “So... This Oscura you told us about, your her nemesis, is that right?”

Danger nodded as he had a flashback to when Oscura stood on her wings in rage.

“Danger, I just heard from a pony called Blazing Lionfire that Oscura’s forces are patrolling Paradise City.” Crimsonia spoke. “But they’re not patrolling around Big Surf Island.”

“Why would she not patrol Big Surf Island?” Star Blazer then asked her.

“I don’t know why, though.” Crimsonia responded.

Danger then thought of something.

“I think I know why.” He announced. “Oscura is planning to ask the Legion of Speedfreaks at 1 second till midnight and she intends to not leave us alive after the battle begins.”

Crimsonia became shocked at what she heard from Danger’s mouth.

“How do you know this?” Crimsonia asked him.

“The law probability, may I ask?” Diamond Blazer suggested.

“I don’t think so.” Danger responded to both of them as he shook his head, not thinking is was by pure coincidence. “I think I slightly heard at what she shouted out about 10 minutes ago. By Celestia’s will, she never that good at speeches.”

Crimsonia then heard the roar of Aria’s Spur approaching.
“Aria’s coming Danger.” She told him.

Danger then turned towards the approaching Spur which spun into a 180˚ turn and parked facing eastbound. Aria then stepped out saw the four ponies.

“Hi, Danger.” She then greeted him. “I see you brought a few friends with you.”

“Sure thing, Aria.” Danger responded. “I’m waiting for another for somepony else, so you four go back to the junkyard and I’ll meet you when I’m finished.”

“OK, Danger.” Aria said after she heard his command and with that, Diamond, Star and Crimsonia headed back into their vehicles and drove back to Grange Hill.

Three minutes after the four left, Danger heard the roar of another car. The car approach was a black Hunter Racing Oval Champ stock car and Danger thought it was Oscura for a moment. Another thought was that stock cars were meant to be speedways, not on the roads. But that car was an exception.

After the stock car pulled up behind Danger’s Tempesta, Sombra stepped out and headed towards Danger. “I’m gonna be enslaved aren’t I.” Danger thought as he faced the former ruler of the Crystal Empire.

“Sombra. We meet at last.” Danger spoke with a hint of evil in his tone.

“I’ve not come to enslave you, Danger, I’ve come to offer you a deal.” Sombra said with a sense of concern.

“Go on, I’m listening.” Danger responded. He can tell he’s not planing to pull a trick behind his flank.

“Well.” Sombra began. “I’ve heard from Grogar and Tirek that somepony called Oscura Galaxia is being so unhappy and sent out tens of thousands of troops to end you. I had to escape from the city in order to reach you. Under her nose, to be precise. I’ve decided to join your alliance to let you duel Oscura, one v one.”

Danger realised that the offer was tempting.

“Normally I would say no to your plans... But you have gained my trust. But remember this, she intends to leave no survivors.” Danger said having accepted Sombra’s offer.

“Understood.” Sombra responded to Danger’s warning.
