Training for the unicorns attack Part 1

“Wow! Where am I?” questioned Twilight.

She found herself on top of a stone platform of a great castle surrounded by a network of snake-like bridges, yellow clouds and pink sky. She marvelled white clouds trafficking around her.

“Sorry I’m late,” said this meek voice.

Twilight saw a yellow pony with wings and pink long hair and wearing white robes.

“Fluttershy? What are you doing here? What am I doing here?”

“I’m afraid you died back on Earth and so you have arrived to here, the Next dimension.”

“So wait, if I’m dead? Why do I still have my body?”

“Well, normally you’d lose your body and just be a soul, but due to the fact that great heroes, like yourself are treated with respect, they let you retain your physical body.”

“Really?”

“Yes, but we don’t have time to talk about this if you don’t mind, we have to go and see King Yemma.”

“Wait, before we do, I need to tell you something.”

“Is it to do with your battle with Dawnshade?”

“Uh, yes, you know about it?”

“I saw everything that was going on through Rainbow Dash,” spoke Fluttershy as she led Twilight into the castle. “We have a connection as you’ll recall, because we created the Orbs of harmony together. So I have learnt about you being a Unicorn, me being a Pegasi and the other unicorns coming to our continent.”

“Wait there’s going to be others….” She yelped at this giant red pony over ten times her size, with a fuzzy black beard and silly purple hat working at his work desk. Around him, about Twilight’s height, were blue and red goats in white office shirt working. “Wah!”

“This is the reception room, where they decide your accommodation in the Next dimension,” replied Fluttershy.

“Hm? Fluttershy? What are you doing here?” asked the large pony.

“A good point, what are you doing here? Did you die as well?” asked Twilight.

“Oh no, I’m able to make short visits to the Next dimension. This here is King Yemma by the way. Um, Yemma, sorry for the unexpected visit, but you see two unicorns are coming to thecontinent I watch over and their intentions are evil and we don’t have the ability to stop them, even when Twilight’s friends revive her.”

“What’s it to me?”

“Well um, just to answer your question, the unicorns are after the six Orbs of harmony and they intend to use them to do evil things that may throw off the balance of the universe.”

“Those Orbs of harmony again, I have no idea why they exist when all they do is threaten balance. But yeah, what do you want me to do about this?”

“Allow Twilight to run through Snake way and go and train with Zecora?”

“Sigh, very well, but to me that’s just wasting time. After all, I’m the only one who’s ever been able to run across Snake way, what makes you think she can? Especially in one month?”

“One month! That isn’t long. How much time will it take me to even get across Snake way?”

“Well, it took me two weeks and…”

“Two weeks, oh my gosh!” She frantically ran in one spot. “I really have to start now if I’m to get any time to train with this Zecora?”

“I’m sure you’ll make it in time. For now I will be trying to gather who I can to train and help us in the upcoming battle. You may also want to know Rainbow Dash has also taken Spike to also train him.”

“Not sure I’m comfortable with Spike being involved, but I guess I don’t have time to talk about this.”

“Yes, you’ll need to go now before we waste any more time.” She pointed. “That there’s Snake way. I’ll need to go back as well now.”

“Okay, thanks Fluttershy and good luck preparing everyone!” shouted Twilight dashing off.

“Good luck to you as well and hope to see you again!”

Galloping through Snake way, Twilight said to herself. “I’d probably get there faster if I flew.” She sprang off her feet, but smacked back down onto the ground. She pushed herself back up. “Alright, don’t know what that just was, but I’m assuming this place has much different laws of physics.” She shook her head and continued on her gallop. “I’ll just have to keep on running then if that’s the way this place wants!”

*

In a clothes shop inside of town, a white beautiful pony with purple hair looked underneath her the reception counter through clothes and fabrics.

“Sigh, can’t find anything in this store,” she said in a high mannered tone. “Sweetie Belle! Dear, have you seen the fabrics that I recently ordered?”

“No! Sis!” shouted a white small young white pony with pink and purple hair trotting through the store carrying materials.

“Ex-squeeze me,” said a cheerful tone.

“Ouch!” yelled Rarity as her head crushed the counter. “Whoops, sorry that strength of mine, how… Pinkie Pie… Cheerlie?”

“Hi, Rarity!” They hugged her.

“It’s good to see you, but what are you doing here?”

“Yeah, what are you doing here!” shouted Sweetie Belle jumped into them and knocked them over.

They all got back up, with Pinkie Pie speaking. “We’re here because we need your help.”

“That’s right,” said Cheerlie.

“Well, how about you fill me in about what’s going on?”

The two then explained about Dawnshade and Twilight and Rainbow Dash stopping him. They had even told about how Twilight was a unicorn.

“Oh my gosh- Twilight’s gone?” asked Rarity in shock.

“She can’t be,” said Sweetie Belle. “She was the strongest of us all.”

“She’s gone for now. But we’re going to revive her with the Orbs of harmony. Right now though we have a more serious situation,” said Cherliee. “Before Dawnshade died, he was able to make contact with two other unicorns, both supposedly over five times stronger than him and now on their way to collect the Orbs of harmony. So what’s happening is that Fluttershy has told us that Twilight’s now on some sort of training course and preparing herself in the Next dimension.”

“Fluttershy also asked us to go to her place to special train together for the upcoming battle against the big bad unicorns.”

“Well, it’s been a while since I last fought and I’ve got my own business. But if it’s for the sake of the world and you really need all the help you can get, I’ll do it!”

“Awesome, my sisters going to fight and save the world again!”

“That’s not very lady like Sweetie Belle,” sniped Rarity.

“Sorry.”

“Would you guys hurry it up?” asked this small stumpy male light blue pony with buck teeth and a short mane. He carried a sword strapped over to his back. “I want to go to this super special training of Fluttershy’s now!”

“Oh my word, you brought Snip?” questioned Rarity.

“Fluttershy said she needed anyone who could fight, so we brought Snip because he can fight and he’s good at it!” replied Pinkie Pie.

“Sigh, true, Snip is a good fighter I admit that. But does he even have what it takes to go up against these crude unicorns?”

“I hope so!”

“I do and I’ll show you once the unicorns arrive. Now let’s go!”

*

Spike woke up. He smacked his lips together and scratched himself, looking around. He screamed when he realised he was in the sky. He screamed even more when he started to plummet down.

“Please wake up! Please wake up!”

He crashed deep into the water and scrambled underneath. Quickly running out of air, Spike thought this was going to be the end.

Something bit his tail and swung him out of the water. He propelled out of the river and landed onto the shore.

He shivered from both the chill and the scare. He looked around him to see he was in this grassland valley in the middle of nowhere.

Emerging out from the water was Rainbow Dash. “Take it you’re up?”

“What did you do that for?”

“To test your reaction, athletic ability and quick thinking, all of which you sucked at. That and to get to fully wake up.”

“Wake up? For what?”

“For your training,” replied Rainbow Dash towering over him. “Congratulation, you’ve just been drafted into Rainbow Dash’s first and only boot camp, consider yourself privileged.”

“Boot camp for what, why?”

“Two unicorns are coming and they mean business. We don’t stand much of a chance against them at the moment. But we’ve got to get everything we can grab to throw at them and one of those things is you.”

“Me? Are you crazy? I’m just a baby dragon?”

“A baby dragon who managed to sock it to that Unicorn, Dawnshade. I don’t know how you did that, but I bet I can I teach you to control it through hard work.”

“I don’t like this, where’s Twilight?”

“Hate to break it to you, but Twilight’s gone. Sacrificed herself to get rid of Dawnshade.” Spike started to weep. “And guess what, probably wouldn’t have happened if you had better control over that power. But take it this way, how about getting control over that power to save the world; you’ll at least have something for Twilight to return to when her friends revive her.”

“Well… I guess.”

She pressed faces together. “You don’t have much of a choice. The unicorns will come for you eventually as well and will eliminate Twilight twice. Then there’s me who isn’t giving you the choice to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime to train with me!”

“Okay! Okay! Where do we begin then… this training?”

“Right now, start running!”

“To where?”

“As if I care! Just start running until I tell you to stop! Move it! And be fast otherwise I’ll trample all over you!”

The Pegasus chased after the baby dragon.

*

“Why is it that we can’t train as well to fight the unicorns?” asked Applebloom jumping on couch with Sweetie Belle.

“Yeah, I want to be able to fight beside my sister, so I can give a kick to the first unicorn that invades us!”

“Darn tooting!” said Granny Smith jumping next to them.

“Would you please get a hold of yourselves?” asked Cherilee. “I hate to say this but some of you aren’t yet ready and the rest of you, well… your times been and you need to trust it to these ponies. Plus we have a more important task.”

“We do?” asked Applebloom.

“Yes, it’s up to us to collect the Orbs of harmony so we can bring back Twilight, so that she can save the day!”

All three of them stared at Cherilee for a moment, but then immediately went back jumping and yelled. “We want to fight! We want to fight!”

Cheerlie gawked and dropped her head.

*

“Thank you all for coming,” said Fluttershy in front of the five ponies, Big Macintosh, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Snip and Rarity, all proudly at attention. They stood on a great wooden platform, the size of a great mansion that rested on top of a giant tree. A simple wooden home was behind Fluttershy. Next to the pegasus was a small white bunny wearing a red sleeveless shirt and turban. His his arm folded and looked at the ponies in an intimidating fashion. “As you know, two unicorns are on their way here and mean harm. They’re strong, but we can’t just let them come and do horrible things. I’m hoping by gathering all of you here, we can repel the unicorns together.”

“You can count on us, Fluttershy. When does the training begin?” questioned Applejack.

“Now.”

“Okay let’s get to it!”

“Give us what you’ve got,” said Rarity.

“I’m ready!” shouted Pinkie Pie.

“Eyyup,” said Big Macintosh.

“Alright, Angel will watch over your training,” said Fluttershy as she walked to house.

“Huh?” said all the ponies.

“What?” Fluttershy looked back at them.

“Aren’t you going to teach us some special moves you taught, Twilight? After all, when she came back from training up here, she was like way times more powerful. Why don’t you do the same for us?” questioned Applejack.

“Oh, well, to be honest. I didn’t really teach Twilight anything?”

“Come again?”

“I didn’t really teach Twilight anything, to be honest. Now if you excuse me, I have a few things to take care of if you don’t mind,” said Fluttershy sweetly and walked away.

All the ponies then stood with their mouths hung in disbelief. The bunny, Angel, however continued to stare at them viciously.

*

Next day, Spike had been finally able to curl up asleep. He had done push-ups, run laps and squashes, all of which he would get yelled at from Rainbow Dash for being so pathetic. He had been very relieved when he finally got his rest.

He screamed awake when something slammed in front of him. He looked up and saw Rainbow Dash.

“Up and going, maggot!””

“What time is it?” asked Spike rubbing his eye. The sun only started to rise.

“I don’t know, I’ve never been good at telling the time. Now attention!” The baby dragon sprang up, limbs straight, chin up and eyes opened. “We began this boot camp for one day ago and the way it’s been going, I can tell it’s not going to be enough. I need more training of my own to perfect the Sonic Rain Boom and you need to start learning to fight on your own. So here’s what we’re going to do, I’m going to leave you out here for roughly a week.”

“Roughly a week?”

“I told you, I’m not good at time!”

“Okay! But you’re going to leave me out here for a week?”

“That’s right. You’re going to have to learn how to feed yourself, protect yourself and most importantly survive by yourself.”

“What you want me to do that all alone?”

“Come on, you’re a dragon.”

“A baby dragon!”

“Same thing, but look, I’m not arguing! I’m telling you that you’re going to survive out here in a whole week and you better survive or else!”

“Or else what? If I don’t survive, what can you possible do to me?”

“You don’t want to find out. But as if it matters, we’re trying to make you unlock your potential or at least make you strong for the upcoming unicorn battle, so that you can help save everyone.”

“Oh, why do you have to keep pointing that out?”

“I’m done wasting time talking to you.” Rainbow Dash flapped her wings. The air current rolled Spike off his feet. “Before I forget to mention, there are other dragons out here that don’t take friendly to unfamiliar dragons, so I’d be careful. Anyways, see you in a week time, depending if you live.” She took off.

“No, Rainbow Dash! Wait! What was that about the other dragons?”

Later, all on his own, Spike wandered through the open land, with his arms around his tummy and his head down. “Just great, I’m cold, bored and hungry. All I’ve been doing is just walking around aimlessly. I wish Rainbow Dash gave me a few tips and some food before she just up and left.”

The baby dragon continued to wander until he found a huge cave. He peered over his shoulder behind him and saw the sun already about to sink back down. He decided he should go inside.

He used his dragon breath to light a broken branch and went inside. It was a wide tunnel, enough to fit a train.

Building up a small camp fire, Spike rested nearby it to keep warm and went to sleep.

He then woke up again by the sound of his stomach. Spike had sleep bags in his eyes and wobbled his head. Up on his feet, he needed something.

Taking out a torch from the fireplace, Spike continued on the move again. He aimed to go outside, but was lost. He tripped.

Spike was about to get up, but something reflected from the light of his fire? Looking closer, he realised it was a gem.

“Food!” cried Spike. He snatched the item and gobbled it up. His stomach growled. Looking around, Spike found another and another. Following a trail of gems, he continued to snack on them until his torch found a blazing reflection. Spike practically melted when he saw before him a vast mountain of gems.

Unable to think, Spike threw himself at the pile and started to scarf on all of them. He ignored the low brim sound. However, he didn’t ignore the cloud of smoke that brushed over him.

Slowly looking up with shrunk pupils, Spike nearly choked on a gem he when he saw before him, a massive dragon that didn’t look too pleased. Stood up, he spat out a chewed gem and held it out.

“Um, hallo... sorry I was eating on your food... I didn’t know it was yours and...”

The dragon roared out and Spike scattered.

Fully awake, he roughly knew which way to go, but didn’t have his torch. It wasn’t too much of a problem, when the dragon breathed fire from behind him that singed his tail.

He managed to make it outside the cave and see with the moonlight. The bigger dragon kept up behind him relentlessly. It’s movement was hindered by the trees.

While the bigger dragon struggled, Spike ran around spiral cliff and quickly begun to climb. He could hear the heavy stamps of feet close in, but gave it his all; he managed to scramble his way up over the top. He looked in disbelief that he had travelled up dozens of metres.

“How did I get up here?” He saw the bigger dragon crash its way through the forest. “Either way, I don’t think I want down.” His stomach continued to grumble menacingly. “Oh come on, I ate like twenty or thirty gems back there and I’m still hungry. Well I can maybe get some sleep with a partial empty… huh?” He noticed a dozen apples and bananas next to him. “Wow, what’s fruit doing all the way up here? Wait, I shouldn’t really care! Food!”

He ravishingly ate them. He paused though as he could remember a similar time he was hungry. It was when him and Twilight were on an adventure together. It wasn’t anything exciting, just them on a hike up the mountain to explore. While they were up thre, he had eaten all the gem rations too fast. When he regretted it and was really hungry, he finally agreed to eat the fruit, Twilight offered, it was the first time he had tasted anything vegetarian; nowhere as good as gems, but he was able to eat them.

He stared at the apple he had half munched on and turned to its unbitten surface, he was able to remember how Twilight loved these.

“I-I don’t know what I can do to stop the unicorn attack or unlock this potential Rainbow Dash keeps talking about. But I promise to do my best, from now on I’m going to try and take this boot camp of Rainbow Dash’s more seriously, I’ll do all I can to get stronger and surpass her expectations, I promise,” said Spike to the apple. “I guess though I should prepare myself for tomorrow.”

*

Watching over Spike in the sky was Rainbow Dash. That’ll be the last time I help the little twerp, she thought, ah well, seems something’s given him some backbone. But as if it matters, I’ll have to start training myself as well, I have to get better because after this, it’s back to my take over the world plan.

*

Two days onwards, those at Fluttershy’s place worked hard through their training. They woke up early, trained all day. They swapped and shared training methods. They sparred and had contests.

Right now, Applejack and Big Macintosh sparred, they traded punches and kicks and dodged and outmanoeuvred. Rarity bucked against the trees, each strike in an effort to break them down with one kick and each time well succeeding. Pinkie Pie did sit ups, making silly woo noises as she went up and down. Snip however had found out about Fluttershy’s food stash and got distracted.

“Okay, this is getting a bit mighty ridiculous,” said Applejack. She ducked under her brother’s buck and bucked him, sending large pony crashing through trees. “We came up here for some special training from Fluttershy, the same Twilight got, but so far we’ve done squat all. We’ve just been doing stuff we could’ve been doing back on the ground.”

“Not really, we didn’t get together to have this month long slumber party,” said Pinkie Pie. “And work together for this long.”

“I’ll admit you have a point, but Fluttershy could’ve just saved us the trouble of climbing up here and sent us somewhere more convenient.”

“But climbing up here wasn’t easy, it was a lot of hard work,” said Rarity. “Plus now we have a private residence to do our training and up in high altitude makes things more challenging.”

“Do you really think this is how, Twilight got stronger? Just climbed a big tree over the clouds and continuously horsed around in high altitude?” Applejack noticed that Angel had come over and now drummed his right foot and glared at them. “Hey, Angel, you know the training that Fluttershy gave to Twilight, how about showing us?” The rabbit continued to just glare at her. “Come on, I’ll give you a carrot in return.” The rabbit’s glare dropped to a surprise. “I’ll give you two carrots, how about that… How does five sound?” There was no response from the rabbit. But soon as Applejack was about to frown, the rabbit grabbed one of her front hooves and shook it. He then turned around and hopped away.

“Now we’re talking,” said Applejack. “Let’s go guys!”

“Okay!” Pinke Pie bouncing behind her.

“And here I thought Fluttershy was being honest, when she said she taught Twilight nothing,” said Rarity behind them.

“Eyyup.” Big Macintosh followed, with Snip close behind.

They arrived to a dark room, where a large pendulum device swung back and forth over this glowing red circle platform.

“What the heck is this place?” asked Applejack.

“Whatever it is, it has an odd taste in design,” responded Rarity.

The bunny hopped onto the platform. He turned to the ponies and waved his arms towards him and pointed on the floor.

“I think he wants us to stand there,” guessed Pinkie Pie.

“Um, that’s fine. You guys alright about me just staying here in case Fluttershy comes back or something,” said Snip shivering.

“That’s fine, any other of you criers want out?” questioned Applejack.

“Nope,” Her brother followed his sister onto the thing.

“I’m in!” Pinkie Pie jumped behind.

“Well I am curious to see what this thing is.” Rarity took her place.

Angel hoped off the device and stood beside Snip. He waved to them bye-bye as all four of them began to fade.

“In second though, I don’t think this was a fashionable idea,” said Rarity.

“Wow, look, I can see through myself- and you!” laughed Pinkie Pie.

“Alright, you can do this Applejack.”

“Eyyup.”

All four were then completely gone.

They reappeared in a wrecked city. It looked like it had once been a peaceful community on the open fields, surrounded by inspiring mountains and peaceful forest. But it was just a barren land now, with shattered rocks around it and without any kind of life. The sky was blood red.

“Where are we?” asked Rarity. “Have we been sent somewhere?”

“I don’t know, but I reckon we should take a look around,” suggested Applejack.

The group journeyed through the ruins. Each building was nearly collapsed, erected statues had been torn and they caught glimpses of pony skulls. Pinkie Pie ran up to a store window.

“I don’t know about you guys, but this place could do with a bit more pizazz.”

“We didn’t come here to visit Pinkie Pie. This place should be where Twilight trained, got to be. Just got to figure out what we’re supposed to do,” said Applejack.

“Perhaps we’re already training,” said Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie, that’s a bit ridiculous.”

Red dots flashed in the store, followed by this sinister chuckle. Pinkie Pie reared back and rushed after the others. “Wait for me guys!”

“I wish I knew what happened here? Was there a war or something?” questioned Rarity.

There was a bone crunching sound. The ponies paused then gazed around.

“I think there’s somebody here,” whispered Applejack.

“My girl, you are dead on right.”

They saw relaxed on a torn down fountain, two ponies, both yellow with red and white hair smooth hair. They wore solid harnesses that were coloured with blue and white stripes and with black trims.

“They have horns like, Twilight,” said Applejack uncomfortably.

“And they have armour like Dawnshade,” added Pinkie pie.

“Well if both Twilight…” responded one.

“And Dawnshade…” said the other one.

“Are unicorns…”

“Then of course they do…” The two spoke finishing each other’s sentences.

“We’re unicorns as well after all...”

“I’m Flam..,” said the one with the moustache.

“And I’m Flim.”

“Hold on, are you the two unicorns coming to our continent to find the Orbs of harmony?” questioned Applejack.

“Orbs of what?”

“I don’t know are we?”

“Of course not brother.”

“Then what are they talking about, because we’ve already invaded a continent and destroyed it.”

“These guys talk funny,” giggled Pinkie Pie.

“Talk funny do we?”

“Won’t think so when we do the unicorn welcome.”

“Is that because it’s funnier?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“No because it’ll make you afraid.”

“Actually you’re wrong brother.”

“Why is that?”

“Because they’ll be dead once we’ve done the unicorn welcome.”

“Oh yes, thank you for correcting me brother.”

“Well… bring it on!” shouted Applejack half-hearted.

“If you say so.”

Flam had appeared behind Big Macintosh. “Always sporting to go for the big ones first.” And bucked him.

Big Macintosh flung over the street until Flim slammed down on him. The impact smashed the surface.

The two unicorns chuckled.

“These guys are fast,” gasped Pinkie Pie.

“I’ll teach you to do that to my big brother!” yelled Applejack. She charged at Flam.

“Why look at this, Flim, the little girl’s standing up for her big brother.” The unicorn levitated over Applejack and slammed down on her with all four hooves. “Don’t get that very often do you?”

“You ruffians!” shouted Rarity. She fired a beam at Flim. But the unicorn vanished and reappeared beside her.

“Actually you do, Flam. Little sisters like to show they can stand up for themselves.” He kicked Rarity’s face, knocking her back.

“I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree with you, brother.” The unicorn used his magic grab Pinkie when she tried to charge Flim and throw her away. “Little sisters prefer their older brothers to stick up for them because they want to be lady like.”

“Get off me!” demanded Applejack underneath Flam.

“Oh why? It isn’t my weight is it?”

“Leave my sister alone!” Big Macintosh struggled back up to his hooves.

“Oh look there, Flam, that one survived one of our unique combos.”

“And what more, he can stand, a big one indeed.”

“I said get off my sister!” roared Big Macintosh running at Flam.

“Let’s see if he can survive another combo attack?” asked Flam.

The two fired beams of energy from their hooves.

“No! Big Mac-!” screamed Applejack

The twin beams consumed Big Mac. When it cleared, there was nothing more than a long trench line black smoke.

“How disappointing,” spoke Flim.

“Yes, I hoped the big one would be up for a little more sport.”

Tears ran down Applejack’s face, lips quivering. She was filled with rage. She screamed out and created an aura that forced Flam to get off her.

The unicorn leapt next to his brother.

“Look there, Flam, I believe we made the poor girl cry?”

“Indeed we have, Flim, what do we do?”

A large pile of red energy formed in front of Applejack to form into an apple “Apple family speciality!” She bucked the energy at the two. It struck them and ignited into a catastrophic explosion that toppled buildings.

When it settled, Applejack’s hat was gone and she panted with tears piping out. “That was for you Big Mac.”

Rarity and Pinkie Pie came over, but gasped when they saw Film above her.

“Only thing we can do, Flam, put her out of her misery.”

The unicorn had fired from his hooves a barrage of energy that showered over her.

“Applejack!” screamed the girls.

When the attack cleared, Applejack was gone.

“No!” yelled Pinkie Pie.

“Get a hold of yourself, Pinkie Pie. We need to make a tactical withdrawal to reorganise our strategy.”

Before they could turn and run, Flam appeared in their way.

“Don’t leave; I thought we were having fun?”

“Quick! Pinkie! Flank him on both sides!”

The two girls vanished and then reappeared at both of Flam’s flanks and tried to buck him, but the unicorn levitated over their kicks.

“Let’s finish this brother,” said Flim strolling out from the shadows.

“Yes lets.”

*

All four ponies had re-emerged in the Pendulum room, each of them breathless and sweaty.

“We’re- we’re still alive,” said Applejack, her voice trembled.

“Sorry about that.” Fluttershy was in the room, next to Angel.

“Fluttershy? Wh-what was that we just experienced?” questioned Rarity.

“Your minds were brought through a recreated timeline to certain point that you were able to experience.”

“Our minds? But it felt like our whole bodies were there,” said Applejack.

“Eyyup,” muttered Big Mac. Eyes wide open.

“The Pendulum room has that effect. It makes you feel as if you really were there.”

“Wow and Twilight actually used this thing to make herself strong?” questioned Pinkie Pie.

“Yes.”

“Why didn’t you show us this before?” asked Rarity.

“I was afraid it would be too intense for you. Twilight, after all would sometimes be quite stressed by the experience.”

“Fluttershy, can I ask you?” Applejack looked at Flutterhshy determined. “There were two unicorns in there that we were fighting.”

“Yes, I sort of know that to be honest.”

“Then again be honest, are they anything like the two unicorns that we’ll be fighting?”

Fluttershy closed her eyes. “Sorry… but no. I don’t mean to demoralise you, but the two unicorns on their way are twice as strong as the ones in there.”

Everyone gasped. It caused Fluttershy to stroke her front leg regrettably.

“Well ain’t that something,” spoke Applejack.

“What?” hicked Fluttershy.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I’m excited about this. Two hombres that strong and we get to be the ones to try and stop them. All we’ve got to do is get stronger and be ready for them!”

“Applejack’s right,” replied Rarity.

“You’re right, it is exciting!” shouted Pinkie Pie.

“Eeyup.”

“Fluttershy, please allow us to go again?” request Applejack.

“Alright, but you should probably rest first. You will have been under a lot of strain from your endeavour.”

“Fine, but um, where’s Snip?”

“Oh, he went off for some more food I believe.”

Angel shook his arms and gnawed his teeth frustrated.
