"Thou hast tired us Changeling Queen!" Princess Luna shouted as she swept her horn across Chrysalis' stomach as the night Goddess flew by. A wound was left but all the Changeling Queen did was roll her eyes at Luna's repetitive taunts. Queen Chrysalis charged up her magic and then constructed it into a whip that coiled around Luna and threw her into the ground. The magic tendril slowly squeezed around Luna, causing her to gasp for breath. Chrysalis grinned as an idea popped into her head.
"If you are so bored with me Princess then perhaps you'd like to face another of your kind, hmm?" With that the changeling transformed herself yet again but this time it was in the form of Luna's sister, Celestia. Luna's eyes shot wide open in shock. Rage began to build up inside Luna, giving her the strength to loosen the coils enough to fire bolts of her magic in multiple needles. Some flew past their target but five pierced and then faded in the fake Celestia's stomach.
"Thou believe she can deceive us with naive trickery? We can see through thou's eyes that you lack what our sister has. You lack kindness…" a bolt from Luna was fired smashing into the fake's face causing her to undo the magic construct, "…compassion…" another bolt fired transforming the fake Celestia back into her natural form, "…and above all you lack thine sister's power!" Luna shot a final laser into her enemy's neck piercing a hole straight through. The Queen's eyes shot open and she quickly place her hooves around her neck to block the holes as she fell to the ground.
"Y-you…wench…I-I was…supposed…to k-kill…y-you!" The Queen struggled.
"Thou should of tried that whenst we had no heart. When Nightmare Moon was thine name." An explosion was heard in the direction the dragon flew distracting Luna for a moment as she turned her head away from the Queen. Luna turned to look back upon her fallen enemy only to see clear ground. She quickly looked all around but the Queen was nowhere to be found.
"Blast! Thine enemy has escaped. However, she has no chance to fight. She must have fled and now we must go help our sister. Discord shall fall once more!" The Princess flew into the air and headed towards the castle.

"Sir may I ask your name?"
"They call me Big Mackintosh or Big Mac for short."
"Well Big Mac I'm Shining Armor. Can you distract our 'friend' here enough so I can flank him?"
"Eeyup!" The crimson stallion charged towards his grey-blue enemy. He leapt up high so that his fore hooves could crash into the minotaur's face however, Iron Will took this opportunity to grab Big Mac's forearms and spin him around throwing him in the air above himself. Iron Will jumped up planning to pile drive the pony back down to Earth but Big Mac balanced himself right to buck Iron Will in the face; plunging the minotaur back to the ground instead.
"Arrgh! You ponies are really starting to irritate Iron Will!" Big Mac landed on his hooves and was charged at by his enemy; however, before Iron Will could meet his target he was pounced from behind by Shining Armor and felt a stab wound from his sword. "Raagh! Why you annoying…" Iron Will punched vertically past his own head to uppercut Shining Armor.
"Oof!" Shining Armor fell back losing control of his magic with the sword being flung away. Iron Will turned with rage, ready to return the blow. Big Mac charged at him from behind but Iron Will planned this and turned to grab hold of the stallion to smash him on the soldier that laid on the ground before him. "Aww!"
"Oof!"
"Ha! Iron Will has you both now! No more of this jumping me shit. When somepony tries to take my glory, that will be the end of their story!" Iron Will lifted his arms ready to smash both stallions, "Any last words?", but Big Mac quickly leapt off the white soldier and moved towards the side. Turning his back bucking the minotaur straight in the face.
"Nnnope!" Iron Will fell down cold. He was not getting up.
"Wow, a powerful buck you got there Big Mac." The shining stallion said.
"Eeyup."
"I could use a stallion like you. Follow me to the battlefield. There are changelings still trying to storm the castle."
"Eeyup." The two brothers of the Elements ran off towards where the bloodshed never seemed to end.

"There's the dragon girls! Oh no, he's about to eat Rarity!" Twilight cried as all the other Elements soon gasped. The dragon had razor sharp claws that lifted the prestigious pony up to his mouth while Pinkie was stuck in the other claw; unable to escape. Twilight grew sorrow at the thought of her friend's life about to slip away. She couldn't allow such a thing to happen! Twilight shot down fires of bolts as Fluttershy lowered herself to allow a closer shot. The dragon stopped and looked up towards his aggressor. He gathered in air and blew out fire towards them but the pegasai managed to barely escape, leaving Applejack with a singed tip of a tail.
"Uh, careful sugarcube. Ah'm not tryin' to get roasted!"
"I'm sorry AJ!"
"It's ahright, just get me on the ground so Ah can get buckin'." Rainbow nodded and made it toward the ground and released her newfound love. Applejack charged towards the dragon's claw that held Pinkie Pie while Rainbow flew towards his face. The dragon was about to blow more fire out towards Fluttershy and Twilight but Rainbow zoomed past the dragon's head with a punch to the jaw yelling,
"Stop that!"
"Fluttershy…"
"Yeah Twilight?"
"Get me down towards Rarity and then please help Rainbow with distracting him." Fluttershy lowered and let go of Twilight safely to the ground as told but hesitated on her next task.
"Wouldn't it be best, um, if I tried to calm him down?"
"Fluttershy I don't think it will work this time. I think he's working for Discord. Otherwise it'd seem unusual that he'd attack us rather than the huge armies of ponies and changelings."
"Oh but shouldn't I help Pinkie Pie?"
"I know you really care for her but you have to trust me and Applejack, ok?"
"Um, ok. I believe in you, Twilight."
"Thank you, now help Rainbow."
"Ok." Fluttershy flew up towards the head of the dragon that was barely missing the cyan pegasus. On the ground Applejack tried to pry open the claw that grasped the pink pony but it wouldn't budge.
"Pinkie…try…pushin'…from the…inside."
"I'm…trying…silly." Both ponies struggled but the dragon's strength was too great. Applejack then turned herself and bucked the index finger, loosening it a bit. "Applejack! I think that's working! Try hitting the other fingers!" Applejack did and one after the other they loosened up. Pinkie Pie pushed from the inside and squeezed herself out. "Sweet! Thanks AJ!"
"Don't thank me yet until we're safely outta this mess."
"Wow, she's so beautiful up there." The random pony took note.
"Huh, what?"
"Fluttershy of course; she flies with so much grace and sweetness, like candy!"
"Uh yea, about that. Have you…uh nevermind."
"What Applejack, what is it?"
"Maybe later, right now our friends need us."
"Oki doki loki. Pinkie promise?"
"Ah Pinkie promise."

At the other hand of the dragon Twilight struggled to get his tight grasp undone.
"Rarity, let's combine magic to levitate it open." Twilight grew nervous as her plans were failing.
"It's not budging darling."
"Ya'll gotta buck them fingers open!" Applejack shouted as the two earth ponies ran over to the unicorns.
"Well that certainly isn't lady like" the indigo maned mare sighed.
"Now is not the time for your speeches of me being uncouth Rarity! Pinkie, follow m'ah lead!" The farm pony grew irritated from her insulting friend that she was trying to help.
"Okie dokie Applejack!" Both ponies bucked each finger simultaneously and eventually released Rarity from her organic prison.
"What now Twilight darling?"
"We have to help Rainbow and Fluttershy before they get singed!"
"Yea but how Twi!?" Both Earth mares cringed at the thought of their special pony fried.
"I got it! Here's the plan…"
---
"Fluttershy you have to keep up with me or you'll be toast!"
"Um…ok Dash." The pegasai flew around the dragon's head faster and faster invoking dizziness in their distracted target. They were interrupted by a shouting below,
"Girls, fly down here and bring his head with!" The two pegasai were confused but didn't question it. They soared down with the dragon craning his neck behind them; going in for a bite. As Rainbow and Fluttershy passed the other Elements, Twilight shouted, "Now Rarity!" Both unicorns brightly ignited lights from their horns into the eyes of the beast blinding him. "Now finish him off!" The two earth ponies struck from both sides with their back hooves, striking at his temples knocking him unconscious.
"It worked darling! Well done! And thanks for coming to my aid Twilight." The white mare batted her eyes.
"Oh well it was nothing, I just got really worried." Twilight blushed, unsure of why she panicked more about Rarity in danger rather than Pinkie Pie. She felt a little cold heated but knew that emotional feelings would have to wait.
"Yee ha! Take that ya over grown lizard!"
"Oh I…hope you didn't hurt him too badly." The shy pony uttered.
"I'm glad you're ok cutie!" Pinkie kissed Fluttershy on the cheek causing her to blush.
"Nice work AJ, you were…mighty powerful" Rainbow said with flirtatious eyes.
"Aw thanks sugarcube."
"Alright girls, let's get to Discord and back up Princess Celestia!" The lead pony stood tall with her friends behind her.
"Right!" The others spoke ready to follow.
