"Guys, I can feel two heat sources in the parking deck." Twilight said. "I'm gonna stop them." Twilight flew off where Rocky and Skye were.
"Hey," Rainbow started. "I see another two through the window of the lobby." She sped to the lobby, only to get caught in a green twister created by Tracker. Chase charged and tackled Spike to the ground while Applejack tried to lasso Cozy without hurting her.
"Your majesty, what'll I do?" Humbrum asked.
"What we discussed;" Twilight answered. "Keep the pups at a distance."
"Got it!" Humdrum said as he ran off. Tuck walked over to Rarity, preparing for conflict.
"Look darling," Rarity began. "I really don't want to fight you."
"Then don't." Tuck jumped onto Rarity and began wailing on her. "Take that! And this! And another for your mama!" Spike noticed this and threw Chase off him. He flew to Tuck and kicked him off Rarity. Soon, Marshall, Rubble and Zuma were heading out of their location, but Marshall heard something.
"Guys wait!" Rubble and Zuma stopped as Marshall looked around. After a few seconds of silence, Marshall shot a fireball at a pile of crates and a tan pegasus with a gray mane and tail jumped out; Daring Do. "Gotcha!" Marshall shouted as he ran at the mare, but before he could reach the mare, Pinkie jumped in and caught him at the end of her party cannon. "Um... mercy?"
"Um, no." Pinkie said before pointing the cannon up and launching Marshall into the sky. Pinkie giggled at the confetti that burst from her cannon, but Zuma quickly summoned a wave that washed her and Daring away. Twilight meanwhile was struggling against Rocky and Skye, who kept creating obstacles between them that Twilight tried teleporting through, but they came too quickly.
"Ha! This is easier than I tho-" Skye was interrupted when a unicorn with a broken horn and scar over her eye tackled her. "Tempest Shadow!?"
"Correct." The mare said. Tempest was about to restrain Skye, but a giant green boxing glove punched her into a wall.
"Thanks Rocky!" Skye said as she got up. Soon, Rainbow had Tracker pinned against a wall and she was very angry.
"You little Weenie!"
"Chihuahua actually." Tracker corrected.
"Whatever!" Rainbow shouted. "I really don't appreciate what you did back there." Tracker peeked behind her and smirked.
"I don't think Everest appreciates you either."
"Who's Ev-" Rainbow was suddenly frozen solid. Everest helped Tracker up and they began to run out. Back with Rarity and Spike, Chase was dodging their fire and magic. He managed to hide behind a crate and sneak up on Spike. Chase quickly charged at Spike in attempt to maw the dragon. However, when Chase closed his jaws, one of his teeth broke and fell out of his mouth.
"What!? HOW???" Chase asked in shock.
"FYI shepherd, I'm a dragon." Spike said. "My scales are impenetrable." Rarity was about to charge when she heard yelling. She looked up only to have Marshall fall on her and send her several feet back.
"You could've ruined my beautiful face!" Rarity shouted, but Marshall just smiled.
"Looks like someone else beat me to it." Spike got really pissed at the Dalmatians comment and was going to teach him a lesson, but a truck came out of nowhere falling towards the group.
"OH COME OOOOOON!!!" Spike shouted before the truck landed, exploded and sent him, Rarity and Applejack into a nearby plane. Chase, Cozy, Tuck and Marshall stared in surprise at what just happened.
"Oops!" They turned to see Rubble. "Sorry guys. I thought it was a water truck."
"Nevermind that, Rubble." Cozy said. "Everyone, head for the jet now!" The team reassembled and started running for Hanger 7. Before they could get far though, a magic beam struck the ground ahead of them. Cozy and the pups looked up to see Starlight and Fluttershy. Tuck's twin sister; Ella stepped forward and looked at the newcomers.
"Who are these two?"
"Fluttershy and Starlight Glimmer." Skye answered. The two ponies landed and Starlight began to speak.
"Cozy, I know you don't trust us. But I assure you that we really are trying to help you. So please, just come with us." It was then that Applejack and Rarity ran up to the other two ponies, followed by Pinkie and Tempest. Rainbow, Spike and Daring do descended to the ground, and Twilight warped in as Humdrum jumped off her back.
And it was as they stood. Twilight remained with her team; Spike, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight, Humdrum, Tempest and Daring Do. They remained in a solid line, never breaking formation, never turning their heads away from what was right in their eyes.
And Chase’s team did the same. The German Shepherd stood where he was, never backing down and refusing to surrender. The rest of his team did the same thing. Cozy Glow, Skye, Marshall, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma, Everest, Tracker, Tuck and Ella refused to give in. None of them backed away. None of them moved. No one did.
"I can't believe this is actually happening." Skye whispered. Marshall was beginning to sweat and he stared at the 11 ahead of them.
"W-What'll we do Chase?" He asked. Chase's eyes narrowed as he barred his teeth. He knew this would happen. There was no denying that the inevitable confrontation would come, he just didn’t want it, especially since they were special to Skye. And yet here he stood, his friends by his side, ready to die go against a group of powerful warriors. And yet the clock kept on ticking, closer and closer to total destruction the longer they stood and did nothing. And nothing was something Chase wouldn’t allow to happen.
He took the first brave step forward, like all leaders do with their teams, and said, “We fight.”
