Watching the World Burn Again

by Silver Butcher


Because we still will

The four sat silently, watching the scene before them play out, they were sitting on top of the sweet apple acre's barn and watching Applejack and a pegasus argue as a massive amount of rain began to flood the farm and only the farm.
"I am not paying for all of this," Applejack said angrily as did her best to walk through the muddy terrain, the pegasus was holding a clipboard and had a cloud over him acting as an umbrella.
"This here says you ordered 10 hours worth of Rainfall," he said looking at this clipboard.
"I ordered 10 minutes of rain, not 10 hours," Applejack said angrily before motioning around "And It was light rainfall, not a thunderstorm," As though to emphasize her point thunder boomed overhead and lighting stuck somewhere in the Apple orchard, most likely causing a fire that was quickly drenched by the booming rains.
"Well I can't just pack these up and leave," The pegasus said as he motioned around "When a storm starts you can't just unstart it, the best we can do is unhook the cloud restrains and hope it blows away sooner rather than later," as Applejack made her way back to her home and the Pegasus got to work telling his team to unhook the cloud's from their restraints Sunset looked around.
"We...should probably help," She said as she looked up at the swirling storm clouds.
"Yeah...," Starlight agreed "We usually prefer to watch and not get involved, but I'd feel pretty bad if Sweet apple acres were flooded just cause we didn't do something as simple as making magic wind," Starlight and Sunset both looked out over the storming winds and waited for the Pegasui's to leave, next to them Trixie was strapping herself and Spike down for the incoming winds that would blow away the clouds and that could blow them all away as well. They watched as the Pegasui's all packed up and assured Applejack that she would not have to pay a bit for the storm and left, leaving Applejack still steaming with anger, before she could turn back to her home she heard a creaking and turned to it, and watched as Starlight and Sunset sent a massive wind over her farm, sending the storm away towards to ever-free forest.
"Ponyville's gonna get a little wet but I'm sure they can suck it up," Starlight said as she stopped using her magic, the wind still blowing against them, she turned and Found Trixie biting into Spike's tail as he failed to keep his wings tucked in and was being sucked up in the wind.
"One more time?" Sunset asked as she used her magic and put a wall behind them, saving Spike from the wind and Trixie from losing a tooth in her struggle to keep the dragon from the wind.
"One more time!" The rest of the group agreed.
"Thanks for the help," Applejack called up to them, they waved at her before teleporting away.


"Well, this is adorable," Starlight declared as the group sat on the side of the roof of a building in the Crystal Empire, below them, a group of Crystal ponies were attempting to solve an adorable stampede of tiny ewe's, a Crystal pony holding a Shepard's stick was at the scene talking to Shining Armor, who looked like he couldn't decide if the situation was funny or irritating.
"ok, but why?" Shining asked as he rubbed his face with his hoof. "why here of all places?"
"Well one of the ewe's came this way, and I went to go get it, and then the rest started following me and...well I couldn't get them to turn back," Shining groaned and decided irritating was the correct term for his current situation.
"Well can't you turn them around,"
"Can't turn around," The Shepard said indignantly "Have to loop back around,"
"What does that even mean?" Shining demanded angrily. "That makes Zero Scenes!"
"Well I don't see you sheparding 100 tiny Ewe's!" The Shepard snapped back.
"Funny," Shining snapped back "I don't see you doing it either,"
"I dunno about this one," Spike muttered "Seems kind of contrived, how did the ewe's even get this far before being noticed?"
"Spike," Trixie whined "Why are you always pointing out Plot holes?"
"You do it to," Spike snapped back "Like the first time we were in a fire,"
"The Floor broke in a circle around us, it was stupid and you know it,"
"Yeah, but you called it out just as much as I did,"
"Turn around," Shining demanded.
"I have to loop back around," The Shepard insisted "Otherwise the flock will start splitting apart,"
"Can we watch something else?" Sunset asked "This feels like it'll take a while,"
"One more time," The other three whispered before teleporting away.


The Team where sitting on a bench surrounded by screaming fans while two Luchador Ponies found in the ring.
"Y la cara del puño de la Cena está siendo golpeada en la cara repetidamente por el Capitán Puma Ears!!!" An announcer screamed out, "Ojalá tuviera puños en lugar de lo que sea que sea la jodida pezuña en español,"
"What the fuck is happening?" Spike demanded as one of the Luchador's pulled a Fish out from under the ring and began slapping his opponent Mercilessly.
"Y ese Luchador debido, cuál es su cara, acaba de sacar una puta Trucha" Another announcer cried out.
"I have no clue," Sunset cried out "I Don't speak Spanish," The Luchador continued beating his competitor with the fish without stopping
"El Puma Granda está siendo golpeado con un pez muerto, ¡oh espera, acaba de insultar a la madre de Face of Fist!" The one with the fish let out a gasp and fell to the floor, the other Luchador, Cheered. "Ese tipo se desmayó, El Gato uno gana, Para mal se olvidó de pagar sus impuestos, Aquí viene el IRS!!!" A group of Ponies with Brief cases all crawled out from under the ring and began beating the winner senseless while throwing Tax forms at him.
"What the fuck?" Starlight cried out "What is happening,"
"Shit, it's the IRS, Get us out of here" Trixie cried out. "Just one more time please, Trixie can not let them see her,"
"ONE MORE TIME!" The Rest cried out before teleporting again.
