Scootaloo groaned in annoyance, "Spike," she turned to face the wondering baby dragon, "you said there's going to be hundreds of unicorns here!"
"Er..." I arched an eyebrow... Isn't it a good thing there are only less enemies to fight? Wait... This is Scootaloo... I better start to adjust to her tomboy-ish attitude...
"Not now, Scoots," Sweetie Belle spoke, making Scootaloo's attention return to the unicorns. The unicorns' horns are already glowing threateningly, however. Twilight's as well. Wait, she can fight them while holding me in the air? Ugh... Element of Magic... We're doomed.
"Bloom," yelled Applejack, "get outta here!"
Apple Bloom only shook her head. "Ah can't do that, sis. I'm a crusader, and we're gonna do this tagether." She then glared at the red earth stallion. "Ah also wanna buck Big Mac so hard in his arse fer leavin' us!"
Scootaloo sighed in frustration.
"Sounds like you ponies only came here to die," Starfall grinned, taking two painful steps forward, making Spike jump slightly in place. "Allow me, your highness."
---
"Not now, Scoots," Sweetie Belle spoke, making Scootaloo's attention return to the unicorns. "Here's the plan," Sweetie Belle mentally communicated with her fellow crusaders and to Spike, who was standing behind her. "Bloom, you take those unicorns close to your sister."
"Not a problem," Apple Bloom replied in her mind.
"Scoots, think you can deal with mister ugly over there?"
"Aw... I'm only fighting one pony? Talk about lame~!"
Sweetie Belle fought the urge to roll her eyes. "If it makes you feel better, that already-hurt unicorn's magic is stronger than the others I've sensed, except for that purple one."
"Can I fight that purple one instead?"
"Scootaloo..."
Scootaloo sighed in frustration. "Fine fine."
"Sounds like you ponies only came here to die," Starfall grinned, taking two painful steps forward.
"Spike," Sweetie Belle locked her gaze on the purple unicorn.
Spike jumped in attention. "Y-yes?"
"Allow me, your highness."

Starfall's horn glowed fiercely and brightly for a short second before he shot a powerful beam from his horn, and towards the crusaders. Sweetie Belle shouted "now!" and the four of them scattered to avoid the beam. Colliding on the wall, the beam exploded on impact, shaking the room slightly as smoke covered the scene.
Scootaloo jumped, extending her left wing, as she grinned. She landed in front of Starfall, and immediately swept the unicorn's hooves off of the ground with her wing -- her only wing...
---
As Scootaloo jumped, Apple Bloom quickly dashed towards the two unicorns holding her dear sister. She turned left and right, to avoid the beams of the unicorns, while she still kept running. She jumped, turned, and delivered a powerful spin kick at the two unicorn's heads. Their helmets weren't enough to filter the powerful kick the teen filly gave them, as they flew in all sides.
Landing in front of her sister, she turned and glared at her startled brother.
---
As Scootaloo jumped, Sweetie Belle summoned a thin air barrier, which was strong enough to block the two beams of the two unicorn stallions that were standing before Twilight. Reaching close to the two, she magically threw her barrier at them, pushing them towards the purple unicorn mare.
Twilight however, shoved the two stallions aside before they crash into her. The two stallions slid and stopped below the floated earth pony.
Twilight's horn glowed and levitated the unicorn filly just before Sweetie Belle could prepare herself to jump at her to deliver a horn-stab headbutt. But as the filly was quickly levitated up, Spike appeared and breathed out a fierce green fume of flames, swallowing the wide-eyed purple unicorn.
---
As Twilight shoved the two unicorns aside that were thrown towards her, Scootaloo brought both her front hooves in the air, and stomped at the darn head of the unicorn, only to grace her hooves with the library's floor as Starfall rolled away from her.
Immediately standing on all four, and ignoring his highness being swallowed in flames, he flared his horn at...nothing.
"Right here," Scootaloo whispered, giving Starfall enough time to glance on his right before the filly's powerful wing pounded his helmet-less head.
---
As Applejack tried to remove the ropes that were binding her hooves, Apple Bloom quickly dashed towards her brother after the stallion was about to grab the fallen sword from the unicorn the filly knocked out.
Unable to reach the weaponry in time, Macintosh raised his hooves to block his little sister's kick. As he did so, he noticed a bright green light in the corner of his eye. Unfortunately, it distracted him from noticing that his sister grabbed his hooves with her own, pulled them down with the aid of gravity and her own weight, and immediately slammed her head on Macintosh's neck.
He took a few awkward steps back as he choked and coughed. Apple Bloom was about to continue her angry attacks when a bright magical light flashed on her side.
---
Landing on all four, Sweetie Belle ran just before Twilight summoned her own wind spells to create a shock wave to remove the smoke around her, but not the green smoke hovering above her.
Angry, she had no time to concern herself of why the dragon in front of her was smirking. Finally giving in to curiosity, she noticed all the books around her were gone.
"Shoot," Twilight whispered sharply as dozens of books fell over her.
---
Sweetie Belle ignored the groaning stallions beside her as she casts a counter-spell on the floating earth pony. She also ignored the number of falling books behind her.
She has to admit: casting a counter-spell against the purple unicorn's magic is tougher than she thought. She felt a beam of magic, but sensing that it wasn't aimed at her, she ignored it.
---
Applejack had no time to deal with the ropes binding her hind legs. Using the ropes that were used to tie her front hooves, she quickly and expertly knotted it to make a lasso and threw it at her little sister. And she pulled her out of the way in time before a beam of magic hit her.
Apple Bloom stumbled, but immediately got back on her hooves as a few more unicorns came inside the library with glowing horns.
---
He received a few wing and hoof attacks before he finally got enough energy on his horn to surround the fast pegasus filly with magic. Grinning, Starfall levitated Scootaloo as sounds of falling books reached his ears. Not satisfied, he mixed his magic with other enchantments, making the pegasus cringe in pain.
Scootaloo had never dealt with such a painful headache before, but she needed to focus if she desire not to continue having this pain coursing inside her head. Breathing sharply, she flared her only wing as she slightly opened an eye to see her target. Sweetie Belle has thought her of a technique before, that magic energy depends on the user's mind. To counter magic, one's mind must be stronger.
Starfall gasped as a painful magical wave reached his mind and as the filly flared all her limps apart, breaking his magic energy around her as she yelled.
---
Quickly emerging from the mountain of books, and ignoring the already weakening field of magic she casted on the pony behind her, Twilight glared at the baby dragon, who somehow managed to summon a green fiery lance that he held on both claws.
Already in his stance, Spike aimed, only to be thrown back from the impact after a beam of magic exploded in front of him.
Twilight immediately took this as her chance. Standing on the mountain of books, she channeled powerful magic on her horn, and immediately fired a fierce purple beam, hitting the recovering baby dragon, and pushing him towards the wall before the beam exploded.
---
"SPIKE!" I yelled, suddenly forgetting how tired and hungry I was. I ignored Sweetie Belle's voice of comfort as I flailed my limbs, trying to break myself free. I was angry, no, I am angry.
The beam exploded, and I was stunned for a moment before this...powerful anger...within me...
---
"RAHHH!!!" The brown earth stallion shouted in rage as he sliced the air in front of him with a hoof, managing to shatter the fields of magic that was surrounding him, making both Sweetie Belle and Twilight receive a powerful and painful wave of magic in their minds.
Landing on all four, Gold Blitz immediately dashed and delivered a headbutt on the side of the dazed purple unicorn. A bolt of magic hit his side, but he didn't budge, even after it exploded and swallowed by the smoke.
Recovering, Twilight stood, only to stumble back on the floor as the brown earth stallion jumped and pinned her down. Gold Blitz stepped aside as he immediately bit the unicorn's mane. He pulled, dragging the yelping unicorn along, and he started spinning in place, gathering enough momentum and speed before letting go of the unicorn's mane.
Twilight's back slammed on Celestia's gem-cage. She bounced slightly as the air on her lungs escaped, and she landed on top of her table. She tiredly opened her eyes, and saw the enraged brown earth stallion walking towards her, his red and yellow eyes sending chills down to her spine.
