Sai and Rarity are currently starring murderous daggers towards their foe, Brainiac. The effects of their Invisibility Potions have already timed out mere moments ago. All the while, the sounds of various heartbeats echoes throughout the large chamber and four ponies are still in a comatose like state. Most notably, each of these ponies has a tendril placed onto their heads, said tendrils belonging to the large brain that floated just before them.
”I did not calculate this outcome. More specifically, I did not expect you to be accompanied by a terrarian, little pony.”
“I will say this one final time, brute.”, Rarity says angrily as the unicorn lights up her horn and materializes a magical ranged weapon: The Bee Gun. The unicorn also summons a Snow Flinx and a Hornet, via their respective staves. She takes aim with the Bee Gun and says: “Let my friends go, now!”
“Do it now, monster!”, Sai interjects as he materializes two melee weapons in both of his hands: Aquatic Discharge and Silver Broadsword. He then leans into the unicorn and says with a hushed tone: “Rarity, I will tank his attacks and draw his attention. My armor is made from The Crimson and will more than-”
”You two think you can hide your minds from me?. Sai Sahan, descendant of the legendary warrior: Sombra Sahan. Rarity, well renown fashionista of Ponyville, the bearer of The Element Of Generosity, daughter of Hondo Flanks and Betty Bouffant. I know what you two plan to do, even before you formed the words to speak it.”
Rarity’s eyes shot wide open in horror as she says:
“How in the world did that-”
“Brainiac is an incarnation of Cthulhu, It being able to read our minds doesn’t surprise me.”, Sai interjects.
“If it can read our minds... H-how are we supposed to fight this thing if it knows, well, everything?!”
Brainiac lets out a chuckle before the entity then glows with a red aura and says:
”Allow me to provide you with a calculated answer: Your submission is highly advised, to fight me is not recommended.”, Rarity grits her teeth and shouts:
“Here’s my calculation!”, The unicorn then fires her Bee Gun which in turn summons a large swarm of bees. She then orders her summoned allies: “Go forth my darlings, beat that ruffian to a pulp!”, Heeding her words the hornet, bee swarm, and snow flinx rushes forward. Sai Sahan also follows suit as he shouts:
“Go Rarity!, free the others while we-”
..........
Suddenly, everyone present are frozen in place. A red aura surrounds Rarity, Sai, and both of the unicorn’s summoned allies. They all struggle in place as Rarty shouts:
“What?!... I, I can’t move my body!.”
“N-neither can we!”, Sai replies as the terrarian, hornet, and snow flinx continues to struggle in place.
”You all underestimate the power of the mind, you are subjects to my will. Now then, this chamber’s ceiling is calling to you all.”, Brainiac then starts to laugh as the entity performs a cruel form of retaliation. The Brain lifts its enemies up into the air and sends them flying into the ceiling with frightening force and speed which results in everyone releasing painful exclamations. Poor Rarity in particular spat out blood as a result of the collision, her bee armor only able to absorb some of the damage but not completely nullifying the pain. The unicorn’s summoned allies were killed on the spot as they fade away.
Sai Sahan could still feel some of the pain but thanks to his Crimson Armor, the terrarian didn’t feel it as much as his unicorn ally did. He noticed Rarity spitting out some blood and shouts:
“Hang in there!”
”Shall I return you both to the earth?, very well.”, Upon saying those words, Brainiac then forces the terrarian and pony down slamming them both into the flesh covered earth. Rarity once again spits out blood and is rendered unconscious all the while Sai grits his teeth in pain. Sai turns his head and looks torwards Rarity’s unconscious form. The red aura that once surrounded Sai’s body dissipates which allows the terrarian to recover. He gets back onto his feet, materializes his weapons once more and shouts:
“Brainiac!, the pony is of no concern to you any longer!. I am your only opponent, come, face me!”
”Commendable courage... Stupid, but commendable.”, The Brain replies as the entity glows with a red aura once more, said aura surrounds Sai instantly. ”Then shall we continue?”
“Do your worst, monster.”
”Gladly.”
[FWOOM]
[CRASH]
[FWOOM]
[CRASH]
Sai is slammed into the ceiling, slammed into the floor, and then is sent back up again. This process repeats itself five more times until Brainiac launches the terrarian into a nearby wall which results in the tortured individual letting out various painful exclamations. Spitting out blood, Sai gets back up after being thrown into the wall, forms a smirk onto his face, and asks:
“Is that all you’ve got, Brainiac?.”, The terrarian then coughs before he continues: “Is tossing me around all you’re good for?, I expected more from a spawn of Cthulhu.”
”As a matter of fact, no.”, Suddenly, four blobs of flesh rises up from the ground and then starts to mold themselves into four bipedal entities. Hands, legs, a face with actual features, and even a particular set of armor was present on these newly formed individuals. Sai’s eyes were widened in shock at what was now standing before him: Four Sai Sahans’. The terrarian lets out a small chuckle and says:
“Aw shit, here we go again.”, The real Sai then materializes his weapons and lets out an annoyed grunt as he asks: “Alright... Who’s first?”
The four Sais’ runs forward and each of their right arms starts to shift into a blade comprised entirely of bone. Before making contact, the real Sai Sahan lunges forward and decapitates two of his clones, sending their heads flying up into the air and landing not too far from the unconscious Rarity. However, those same clones starts to regrow their heads all the while the other two clones draws near and swipes at the original Sai.
[CLINK]
The collision of blades echoes throughout the large chamber as Sai blocks his clone’s attacks via his duel wielded weapons. Before he could retaliate, the other clones who regrew their dismembered heads rejoins the fray and attempts to assassinate him from behind. In one swift motion, Sai pushes the two clones that he was currently in collision with away as he then jumps into the air in order to dodge those coming to attack him from behind.
“You’re going to need more than that, impos- What?!”, Sai’s body is once again consumed by a red aura and thrown against a nearby wall once more. The terrarian shouts in pain as he then says: “That’s cheap...”
“What were you expecting?, me to just float here and give you a chance to defeat these clones while I do nothing?. This isn’t a kids show, terrarian.” The Brain then lifts the terrarian once more, all the while his clones of flesh watches in anticipation as they then prepare themselves to pierce the real Sai Sahan with their bone made weaponry. “Farewell, Sai Sahan. This is where you-”
[BANG]
[BANG]
[BANG]
[BANG]
Suddenly, a series of gunshots “kills” each of the clones via blasting their heads off which stops them from skewering their real counterpart momentarily.
”What?, what just-”
[BOOM]
”GRAUGH!”, Brainiac cries out in pain and the entity’s words were cut off as a sudden large explosion makes contact with its form. The Brain is sent backwards and collides into a wall that was positioned just behind it, crashing through it in the process. As a result, the red aura that surrounded Sai Sahan dissipates and drops the floating terrarian onto the fleshy earth below. In addition, even his clones disappears as each entity falls apart into chunks of flesh.
“Well, well, looks like we got here just in time. My aim is as good as ever and it’s high noon.”
“Great shooting, Ceeman. However, it was my explosion that did all the work, haha!”
Ceeman replies with a middle finger.
“You two are such children... Now then, time for me to save my packmates. Yo nurse, go on and heal Rarity for us will ya?.”
“I’ll take care of her right away!”
Sai Sahan couldn’t believe what he was hearing as he then looks towards the entrance, which was the wall he himself destroyed, and sees a kitsune along with three other terrarians. The new party enters the chamber as they then walk up to Sai Sahan who in turn asks:
“Who are you?, wait... By the light of Terra, you’re all them!.”
“That’s right, I’m your local Arms Dealer. Call me: Ceeman jones.”, Ceeman replies as he helps Sai back onto his feet. “This here is The Demolitionist, Vinny Bonsoot. The beauty over there helping Rarity is Helena, The Nurse. And finally, the kitsune here to my left is: Ritsu.”
“Thank you all, words can’t express how happy I am to receive aid from three of The Pillars.”, Sai replies happily.
Rarity was finally coming to as Helena finishes her work in healing the unicorn mare.
“Wha... What happened?, whe- Sai!, where is- wait, Helena?”, Rarity question’s as she then takes a moment to look around the chamber and notices her fellow members of Home Town. “How are you all here, darlings?”
“That’s not important right now, Rares. Let’s get your friends free before that giant brain recovers.”, Ceeman interjects.
“Are you feeling better now, dearie?. Let me know if anything still hurts.”
“I’m quite fine now, Helena. Thank you soo much, but, please tend to Sai now.”
Helena nods in response as she makes her way over to the aforementioned terrarian and starts to heal his various wounds that weren’t healed yet from his Crimson Armor’s set bonus.
As this is going on, Ritsu starts to free the captured ponies as she rips off the fleshy substances that binds and holds them to the wall. Afterwards, Ritsu sets them all down gently next to the chamber’s exit as they each still remain unconscious. The kitsune then looks over their unconscious forms tentatively as she says:
“You’re all going to be ok now, Applejack... Pinkie.”
“How’re they looking, Ritsu?”, Vinny The Demolitionist question’s.
“They’re unconscious but I think they’ll manage. I don’t even want to think about what that thing was doing to them.”
In the background, Sai Sahan lets out a sigh of relief as Helena finishes attending to his wounds.
“Your healing powers are as legendary as I’ve heard, Pillar Of Healing.”
“And you’re even hotter up close, sexy~”, Helena replies with a flirtatious wink. Rarity smirks upon seeing this and says:
“Oh my, Sai. Let’s not make Celestia jealous now, ok?”
“Oh be quiet, you. Come now, we must-”
Suddenly, a red aura starts to leak out of the large hole made from Brainiac’s collision as the large entity reveals itself and slowly floats back into the large chamber.
”You will regret that you worthless life forms!”, The Brain roars out as it causes the entire chamber to shake in the process.
Ritsu, Rarity, Ceeman, Sai, and Vinny prepares for combat while Helena turns around and runs back towards the unconscious ponies.
“Looks like we get to kick some brains in!”, Ritsu exclaims as she growls furiously.
“Come and get it you damn abomination!”, Sai roars out as he wields his weapons and narrows his features in anger.
“For what you put my friends through, it would be uncouth for me not to punish you!”, Rarity exclaims as she alights her horn in anger.
Despite not having a mouth, Brainiac emits a sound that could best be describe as a growl as the entity then says:
”I will grind your bones into dust, all of you. Your flesh will be-”
“You!... Bucking!... Jeeeeerrrrk!. You made me watch Scootaloo die!”, A new voice cries out which catches the attention of everyone else present and cuts off Brainiac’s words. Rarity smirks as she immediately recognizes the source of the voice and its owner: Rainbow Dash.
However, the cyan pegasus wasn’t alone as three other ponies rose up alongside her all of whom were very, very, angry. A certain pink pony in particular literally darkens and her mane drops as she glares at Brainiac, murderously: Pinkamena.
”I’m going to murder you!, bucking asshole!. I had to watch soo many of my friends get tortured and killed by that other me!”
“Ya bucking ingrate!, ya sent me to a world that was a living hell and all ma’ friends were undead monsters!. Imma kill ya!”, Applejack roars out as she materializes the Blade Of Grass.
“You made me watch as a heartless version of myself and my friends enslaved everything that wasn’t a pony...”, Twilight’s magical energy slowly begins to build up around her. “I had to witness unforgivable actions made by my other self!”, The alicorn's magic now surrounds her in a lavender colored aura as she stomps her right front hoof and shouts in her Canterlot Voice:
”NOW YOU’VE MADE ME ANGRY!. VERY!, VERY!, VEEEEERY!, AAAAANGRY!”
The four mares rushes forward with murderous intent and a fire burning in their eyes. Upon seeing this, Rarity simply smiles as she says:
“Well now, brute... I dare say: You’re bucked.”
