The Battle of Paradise City 2 - Destruction at Nightfall

by DangerDean


Chapter 6 - LIghtning

While Danger's drone was returning to Grange Hill, Twilight and Rarity put on their guard armour that Danger had teleported previously, Twilight went into deep concern as she was surrounded by numerous Nakamura Rai-Jins and Carson Thunder Shadows left, right and centre. After about five seconds, she decided to make a run for it. Rarity followed suit two seconds later.

"I hope she never finds us." Twilight thought to herself as she saw Oscura head northbound towards the Crystal Summit Observatory. Rarity, however, was not liking her armour she was wearing because she thought it was not classy and that dark grey wasn't her colour.

Back at Grange Hill, Danger's BSRU landed on the roof of his Tempesta as a landing pad. He was also very happy to hear that Twilight and Rarity were now en-route to the junkyard. While Danger was putting the drone back inside, for the next time he wants to use it. Aria was listening to her radio in her Hunter, out of pure boredom and want to pass the remaining 45 minutes before the DangerDean Extermination Force strikes.

Rainbow meanwhile, was sighing with relief as Danger told her that Twilight and Rarity were en-route to the junkyard. After she finished, four cars were approaching from the east and Twilight and Rarity were also approaching towards Rainbow Dash from the west. The cars coming from the east were an orange Carson Fastback, a green and orange Jansen XS12, a pearlescent pink and black Rossolini Tempesta GT and a orange Carson GT Flame driven by, Applejack, Lightning Dust, Tempest Shadow and Spitfire, respectivly.

Danger then heard the engines and rushed to Rainbow where all six occupants of the cars climbed out the cars and wanted his attention. After about two seconds, Lightning was first to speak.

“Good to see you, Danger. I heard you wanted help with neutralizing this... Oscura thing you keep blethering about.” She said as Twilight and Rarity took off their armour and threw it into the sea as they didn’t necessarily need it and Rarity absolutely hated wearing it. She knew that Danger was talking to Lightning so she kept her anger after Danger finished.

“It is obivously my pleasure, Lightning.” Danger responded to Lightning.

“So let me get this, straight.” Spitfire then spoke. “Are you going to say that Oscura... is who is your enemy.”

Danger was getting annoyed over Oscura every passing second.

“Yes, Spitfire. About that...” Danger said as he was interupted by an panic-filled Sunset as she rushed towards him.

“Danger! DANGER!” She shouted as she wanted his attention.

“Sweet Celestia, Sunset! You look like you’re having flashbacks to when you became a demon in the human world.” Danger repsonded as he saw sweat dripping from Sunset’s jaw and neck. He can tell something was wrong with Sunset.

“It’s Blazey! She has seen a picture of somepony she didn’t want to see.” Sunset said as tears followed through her eyes.

Had Danger not known this beforehand that Blazey has memories of previous villians of Equestria, such as Grogar, Tirek, Cozy Glow, etc. He also thought it could be somepony new, probably an ally of Oscura. Danger rushed towards Blazey with Sunset, Applejack, Lightning and Aria following him.

After about five seconds, Tempest had a question of her own. “Spitfire, who could it be?”

Spitfire was looking concerned to who Blazey saw. “Don’t know, Tempest.” Spitfire replied. “It could be a prelude to alliance with Oscura.”

Meanwhile,

Blazey was dripping with sweat and tears because she saw a picture of a unicorn, who looks like Sunset, but she was wearing a full leather outfit, similar to Oscura’s but lighter coloured. She was also wearing the same helmet and royal horseshoes that Oscura wears.

Starlight was trying to look away from the photo and try to focus on Blazey herself, but to no avail. When Danger arrived, she used her magic to bring the photo towards him.

“Chill, Starlight! OK, why is Blazey trying to have a panic attack?” Danger asked, trying to rectifiy the situation.

“Look at this!” Starlight demanded as Danger took the photo with his right wing at looked for about a minute.

“I don’t know who this is, Starlight, but it looks like a possible ally of Oscura.”

Blazey was sweating so much that she asked her sister, who was still recovering from the crash with Oscura, to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, sis. It will be totally fine when this all blows over.” Sparky said as a tear ran down her light-lavender cheeks. Her cyan and red mane was still messed up from the ordeal. Sparky knew that she is not fit for another session of Oscura’s brutality. Her lavender eyes dropped a tear to the ground.

Danger, meanwhile was still trying to figure who is on the picture. But Lightning Dust who had a look of pure confusion and anger blended turned her attention towards him, she wondered why Rainbow Dash was on his team.

“Er... Danger?” She asked him. Danger meanwhile, looked busy, but in reality, he wasn’t.

“Something on your mind, Lightning?” Danger replied after he conceded defeat on trying to work out who was on the photo.

“Can I have a private word with you?” Lightning Dust then asked

“Maguire Road?” Danger suggested.

“Sure.” Lightning replied.

After about 20 seconds, Twilight noticed that the red Tempesta and the green XS12 were gone.

“Where are they’re going?” Twilight thought to herself as her eyes half closed in annoyance

Meanwhile, Danger and Lightning had arrived on Maguire Road where they parked by drifting onto the oncoming lane, facing south.

“What is it, Lightning Dust?” Danger asked her.

“Well,” Lightning began. “I noticed when I was coming towards the junkyard, a pegasi named Rainbow Dash, Did you realise beforehand that me and Dash don’t get along?”

Danger became oblivious to what Lightning was talking about.

“No, why?”

“I can tell you.” Lightning continued. “She had my Wonderbolt dreams shattered into a million pieces.” Her voice turned to rage, “I even had to form my own team of daredevils to prove that lame fire pegasi that took my badge away.”

Danger was still not buying it. Even though Rainbow is his long-time friend, he knew that she was refering to Spitfire, the Wonderbolts and her Washout team. Danger was never a fan of the Washouts, A flashback consisting of Spitfire and Lightning struck him like a thunderstorm. Danger soon realised that the reason the why she created the Washouts, it was because Spitfire kicked Lightning out of the Wonderbolts... because of Rainbow! But Rainbow never told Danger this about a decade.

But just as Danger was about to speak, Rainbow’s P12 was coming onto to where he and Lightning parked.

“Danger, what are you doing?” Rainbow asked she saw Lightning’s eyes slowly turn to anger.

“Well, I-“ Danger responded but was interrupted by Lightning.

“Rainbow, would you like to explain to Danger why... you got me kicked from the Wonderbolts? NOW!” she demanded but Danger was trying to persaude Rainbow not to do it because it would make matters insurmountable.

“Lightning... listen to me.” Danger said, trying to calm Lightning down. “Look, I know you and Rainbow haven’t had the best of history, ever since your darkest hour. But we have a bigger threat to focus on... Oscura Galaxia and her friends. So you really need to put the past into the moon.”

“Meaning?” Rainbow asked as she thought Danger had gone insane.

“It means that you and Lightning have to set your differences aside and focus on defeating Oscura.” Danger answered as he turned his attention towards Lightning.

“You must trust me on this, Lightning.”

After about ten seconds. Lightning came to her decision.

“OK, Danger. I understand what you said. We will set our differences to one side,” she said after shaking wings with Danger.

Rainbow facehoofed and she thought Danger had lost the plot. Afterwards Danger and Lightning both got into their cars and headed back to the junkyard. Rainbow followed two seconds later.

Meanwhile, Estrella was having a conversation with the pony who was on the photo that Blazey saw which terrified her, Inferno Tempest, sporting a red Watson 25 V16 Revenge.

“So, what do you think of DangerDean and his pathetic legion.” Estrella asked her as she could see the anger in her eyes.

“From what I’ve heard from Oscura, he seems to be making her life a living misery.” Inferno said. “Why does she hate her such much?”

“Inferno, if you ask her that, she will implode!” Estrella warned her.

“That’s very, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

As Estrella and Inferno talked, Midnight Skies watched in pure disapproval as she faced Big Surf Island. While she did this, Rotten Apple was looking like she is ready to eliminate her nemesis, Applejack.

“You look ready, Rotten Apple! We’ve 30 minutes till midnight still to wait.” Midnight said as she saw her warming up, ready for the big assault.

“Sure thing!” Rotten Apple said, full of cofindence. “Ah’m ready to teach this pegasus a lesson or two, right about now.”

“I know you are. But you need to wait a bit longer.” Midnight said, sternly towards the impatient Rotten Apple.

Meanwhile, back in Big Surf Island, Sparky had taken the bandages off as she was fully healed and she didn’t need them anymore. Aria was looking pleased with her, because she now thinks she ready for the big battle with Oscura.

“Good to see you in your new strong, dependable self.” Aria said she saw Sparky looking happy with herself.

“It sure does feel good to be back to my former self. I’m sure Blazey would think likewise.”

Aria nodded as she knew that Danger is planning a meeting in around 20 minutes.
