As the saying goes, the calm before the storm. That was the situation here. A powerful force was coming, and it was up to a couple of random pony's from 6 different dimensions to stop it.
Viata was ready to fight, using 2 energy swords she was going to have one heck of a time but for everyone else well let’s say they weren’t so well of.
"Krona!" Viata suddenly shouted breaking the silence. "Take Fluttershy, Twilight and Applejack to a safe area, Rainbow Dash you go take rarity and pinkie pie to another safe spot. Now!" Viata was yelling orders like Julius Cesar to his legionnaires.
"Travis and Taokaka, you 2 are with me up front. Marston here's a magnum you’ve only got 5 mags make each shot count you’ll be covering us so be ready!" shouted Viata. "Who put you in charge!?" said Travis. "We should all fight, not just 5 out 12 of us!"
"Hey idiot only 7 of us can actually fight and we can’t have 5 people protected by only one fighter." said Viata.
"Krona and Rainbow Dash, take your groups now! You have a job to do so go so it!" shouted Viata.
Krona immediately grabbed Fluttershy, Twilight and Applejack and sprinted to the library. "Okay everyone please hide in here. I'll guard the door. Okay. I promise no one will hurt you."
"But what can you fight with? I mean no offense but you’re as scrawny as the old scarecrow back at the farm. “Replied Applejack.
"Don’t worry, I have a friend. Ragna wake up please." Krona said to herself. "Krona who are you talking to?" asked Twilight.
"Me of course!" a little imp like creature appeared out of krona's back. “what the hay is that?!" said a shocked Applejack. "This is Ragnarok. Basically he is the blood in my body, literally." Ragna gave Krona a harsh rubbing on the head.
"He’s a bit of a bully but I can't change him. Speaking of which why haven't you said anything while we were here?" questioned Krona.
"BECAUSE I HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON!" shouted Ragna. "Who’s the yellow one?" asked Ragna.
"Ragna, this is fluttershy, twilight and applejack. There my friends." said Krona.
"Nice to meet you all." said Ragna who held out his little hoof to be shaken. Twilight went to shack the hoof but Ragna pulled it away and went "ha ha! Got you!”
"I did say he was a bully." said Krona.
***sudden transition to Viata cause I feel like it***
The doors were being smashed at with untold power and strength.
"Everyone stand your ground!" Viata said activating her energy swords and preparing one in a defensive and one in an offensive position, Travis got out his beam katana, Tao got her claws ready, Marston coked his magnum chambered a round and got into a half crouch ready to shoot anything and everything and sonic was...well..He was just ready.
The doors exploded, sending a wave of wood at the group. Viata activated a drop shield just before the explosion saving the group from an early end due to being crushed by a 2 ton wooden doer, meaning no one was hurt. The figure entered the room, with what can only be described as a claymore sword meaning it was 5. Feet 8 inches double edged and heavy as a hell.
"Well, well, well. Looks like I've got some trash to get rid of." said the voice.
"Who are you?!" yelled Viata. "I'm Medusa. Now move out of the way or I will kill you. You don't want that now do you?"
Tao dashed at Medusa with her claws ready to slice, going faster than the eye could blink and slashed at Medusa but she blocked with her sword. "A pity. Oh well." she summoned an arrow under Tao sending her smashing through the palace walls.
Travis tried now going sword to sword with Medusa. The blades crossed and slashed furiously at each other, blow for blow they seemed an even match. Marston took a shot and shot Medusa's blade at the hilt guard sending it right out of her hand.
"My my, I may need to think about this." said Medusa until she summoned 2 blades over her original 1. "or not I guess." the blade strikes were almost too fast for Travis who was somehow not yet hit but Viata circled behind Medusa and started an onslaught, her blades moving so fast if you were to blink you would most assuredly be cut in half.
"Oh that's unfair. I'll even this out." Medusa made 3 identical clones of herself. One ran off towards the library and other 2 stayed and fought with the original. "Well we’re fucked." said Travis. Sonic came along and smashed into one of the clones fought her hand to blade, somehow his gloves were strong enough to block the strikes. "Now its fair again." said Sonic.
The clone that ran off made it to the library and was smashing on the door. "Everyone hide, ragna sword mode." Fluttershy, Twilight and Applejack hid in the book shelves and got ready for battle with the clone. The door broke open and the clone walked in.
"It’s just a clone that's all. Not the real thing." thought krona. The 2 smashed with their blades with krona on the defensive. The clone was attacking far too fast for krona to handle. The clone nicked her arm but luckily she had she had some tricks hidden up her sleeve. "Blood spike!" thought krona as the blood shot out piercing through the clone’s eye, sending it back a couple of spaces, giving krona time to attack.
The clone, in a desperate attempt to end the battle, threw its sword at krona going straight through her chest, just to the left of her spine. Even someone like krona couldn't take a hit like that.
Just as her conciseness started to flee her. "BACK AWAY FROM HER!!" shouted Princess Luna who fired a bolt of lightning at the clone, causing it to explode on impact. "Princess Luna!" shouted Twilight. "Why are you here? You should be hiding!”
"Douth thou remember that we can easily handle our self in a fight. Rememberth the nightmare moon incident?" said Luna.
"I'll take care of thy friend, you three go to rainbow dash and rarity within our sister’s private study." the 3 nodded and went off to the private study.
*transition back to the once elegant and now wrecked front gates*
"You’re too slow!" the clone repeatedly missed over and over getting more frustrated with each miss. Marston took a shot and...’BOOM!’ head shot using deadeye, but now he only had three mags left.
"Nice one Marston! Now it's 4 against 1! Let’s finish this." encouraged Sonic. Viata, Travis, sonic and Marston formed up in a rough circle around Medusa.
"It’s over Medusa. You have lost. We shall offer no quarter! Ether surrender now and we shall give you a swift and painless death or we will shall make your death anything but painless." said Viata.
"I haven't lost yet." Medusa replied as she summoned an arrow in front of her which sent Viata, Travis, Marston and Sonic were sent flying across the room. Medusa suddenly raised a great deal of energy which she aimed at the group. "Goodbye now." Medusa channelled the energy and was almost ready to strike. Until Tao came bursting through the wall. "TAO GONNA BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA YOU!!!" Tao sent Medusa flying into the air and started to claw and slash at her in mid-air, hitting her over 40 times in the space of about 10 seconds. then Tao smashed her into the ground through her up and delivered 4 knee’s to the gut, two rights and three left hooks and finally threw her in the air jumped up and hammer smashed her with her heel in about 8 seconds and then continued to beat the living crap out of her using combos only believed to be doable in dragon ball and Naruto and somehow never re using a combo. "Holy shit!" said Travis and Viata. After Tao had beaten up Medusa, all that was left was a bloody thing that could have been a blood soaked sac that never could’ve thought to have been a body.
"And that is what happens when you throw Tao through a wall!" yelled Tao at the body. "Wait a second... she's breathing!" the body started to awaken but this time with dark blue eyes and Trixie's normal voice. "Wha... what happened?" asked Trixie. “Holly shit! How is she not dead?!” Viata nearly screamed.
"Well you got possessed by an evil spirit, tried to destroy canterlot and tried to kill everyone but we beat the crap out of you. Oh and we broke your horn off. No big deal right?" said Travis. "WHAT?!" Trixie screeched hoofing her head to look for her horn. She did not find any trace of it and fainted. "Is it safe now?" asked princess Celestia. She was with rainbow dash, pinkie pie and rarity.
"Yeah it's safe now." said Viata. Luna entered the room with krona on her back. Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy were with Luna. "I'll take Trixie to the medical area. Fluttershy if you want you can come along a keep krona company." Fluttershy nodded and followed Luna to the hospital.
"Well with that all done and dusted I say we..." Celestia was interrupted by pinkie pie. "LET'S HAVE A PARTY!!!" Celestia laughed at the idea. "No pinkie pie. We need to send your friends home."
"Now hang on a minute." said Marston. "I want to stay here. I'm tired of my life back in the West. Besides everyone probably thinks I'm dead since the last thing that happened was that I fell off a cliff after being shot in the leg." “Celestia? I'd be willing to take Marston in. he’s a good person and I trust him.” said Applejack. Marston smiled clearly delighted to stay with the apple family.
"Very well, he can stay but the rest of you, what do you say?"
"Tao loves it here but I miss my home and I miss litchi." Tao was sad thinking about her home and miss litchi.
"Look I don't want to sound rude but I don't like it here so send me home." said Travis rudely.
"I miss my friends back home. Need I say more?" said sonic.
"I love this land but my place is with my fellow Spartans on Reach fighting the covenant. I graciously accept your offer to leave” Viata bowed to Celestia.
"Well okay. We should wait until tomorrow however. Krona still hasn't said his choice yet. You may stay here tonight."
"That’s mighty kind of ya princess." Marston bowed to her.
Celestia escorted everyone to their rooms. "Travis, here's your room here but you shall have to share with Marston.
The next room is a bit bigger so rarity, Tao and twilight can share this room here and applejack, sonic and rainbow dash you will have to share the room here. Viata and pinkie pie, you don't mind sharing a room do you?"
"Of course not." said viata. "ea nu este un nebun?" (Translation: isn't she the insane one?) "Don’t say that about her"
"Well dash, since this is my last day here, how about one last race?" said Sonic. "First one to pony vile is the winner."
"Oh your on marks 3...2...1 GO!" they both set off to pony vile at blistering speeds.
"When will they be back?" asked Celestia. "Considering those 2, probably tomorrow. So gosh darn competitive." said apple jack.
Meanwhile at the hospital...
Krona was in a hospital bed opposite Trixie's. Next to krona was Fluttershy, waiting for krona to wake up.
"Please wake up krona." Fluttershy was crying softly, her tears running down her face.
"Hello fluttershy." Luna had entered the room to check up on krona. "I see thy wish not to leave her side, I believe we could helpth her though it will be difficult and take time."
Luna's horn shone brightly as she used a very powerful spell, after about 10 minutes the heavy wounds on her body started to heal up, slowly but steadily.
"Just a little bit more..." the magic was starting to lessen as even for Luna this was costing quite a bit of magical power but krona's wounds were healed fairly well.
"Fluttershy, is that you?" krona's vision was slightly blurry from the blood loss and the heavy injuries.
"Yes krona it's me." Fluttershy was still crying but now from happiness at seeing her newest friend was okay once again.
"Why are you crying? Asked krona. "Because you’re alive. I'm glad you’re alive krona." Fluttershy was wiping the tears from her eyes now. "Fluttershy you’re a good friend but I want you to know something that's all." said krona.
"What’s that krona?" asked Fluttershy. "Well I want to spend my last night here with you. but I also want to say that flutter shy I owe you so much where others would fear me or treat me as though I wasn’t even there you helped me and you are the best friend I could ever hope to have." krona couldn't talk much more due to the pain and blood loss from the injuries which even while healed were causing discomfort.
"Krona, I think you’re a great friend as well and I want to help you enjoy your last day in Equestria as much as I can. Luna could you help as well?" asked fluttershy.
"I would be glad to help you Fluttershy." Luna lifted up krona with her magic and they set off to spend krona's last night in Equestria as much as they could knowing she would never see it again.
(Well folks I tricked you! there's 2 or so more chapters after this one.)
