Chapter 9: 400 year old Fury

Luna lowered her head as the grey ponies completely surrounded her. Battle Armour stood back and simply watched as his troops slowly advanced on the princess of the night.
Luna’s horn started glowing and her long wings stretched out.
‘Alright, outnumbered by 50 earth ponies, but these ones are simply puppets. Not even real, which makes this all the much easier.

The ponies all charged with the exception of Battle Armour, all heading straight at Luna. Luna simply used her wings to levitate herself mere meters above the ground, out of reach of the Earth Ponies.
Battle Armour glared at the princess, before whistling for his reinforcements.
Luna heard a whistle, and saw Battle Armour as the pony responsible, but no idea what it meant.

It doesn’t matter. I need to dispose of these abominations, then I can……Luna felt something sharp penetrate along her left side, from her mark to her shoulder.
“AARRGGHHH” she screamed. The wound wasn’t deep, but it was in a near identical position to her previous wound. She looked ahead of her and saw 2 grey ponies flying side-by-side, a perfect formation. Luna glared at them, anger burning within her as a memory flashed before her own eyes.

She was back in the immortal war, as it was called. Luna was fighting on the front line, her powers of the night destroying all of the ponies that stood in her way, butchering Earth ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns alike. She took to the sky, delivering death to all that opposed her.
Suddenly, a small number of grey Pegasi flew straight past Luna. She used her war magic, but she wasn't fast enough and 2, just 2 got past her.
It was minutes later, her reinforcements didn't arrive and her army was forced to lose the position. The loss forced her father to divert troops from his army to hers, an act he was most displeased with. Those 2 Pegasi had, not only taken her reinforcements out, had never been caught.
Luna exited the flash back, and eyed the 2 Pegasi. So similar to those that caused her humiliation nearly 4 centuries ago. Luna’s eyes started to glow white as she lost control, firing every spell she knew that would commit harm at the ponies beneath her.

The grey ponies under her were all vaporised under the barrage, and even a hole in the ground was formed where the ponies used to be. Battle Armour took an involuntary step back, and saw his entire attack force destroyed.
“Ohhh, come on! Hell with this” He turned around and started what he would call, a tactical retreated.
Luna’s last targets were the Pegasi. Luna fired her most destructive spell, a missile type that explodes with dire ramifications. The pegasi both saw the spells, but flew at Luna regardless. Suddenly, the spell did their job and the sky around the Pegasi exploded in blue. Luna saw with a strange feeling of both satisfaction and dismay as they crashed into the Apple fields. Luna quickly charged a teleportation spell, then the barn near exploded.
Then, she teleported.
