There were six guard ponies in front of you, and all six of them didn't even waste a second to hear what else you had to say as they all stepped forward and thrust their spears in your direction.

"Contego!" You shout at them as you hold your left hand. Before any of their spears can even touch you, they are all suddenly stopped by a seemingly invisible magical barrier between them and you. It's not that different from the magical barriers that these unicorns use, only, there is nothing there, no magic, no glow, nothing, it's all you, and it stops all of them dead in their tracks.

Their spears bend, and one of them even breaks as their spears suddenly stop a few inches away from your face. You watch as all their eyes suddenly go wide in sudden confusion as they see this. You however, don't even give them the luxury of a second thought before you spin your own spear around and and swing it right at them.

"Queruli virtus!" you shout at them as the force of your swing knocks them all away like rag dolls. You watch them all go flying as one of them heads right for the stage like the first one did. At that, several of the guards around you who were dealing with the other ponies immediately stop what they are doing and watch as their comrades go flying away Team Rocket style. You look around for a moment and see their reactions, which unfortunately only last for a moment as they all regain their composure and turn their attention towards you.

Immediately, one of them rushes you, but you swat his spear out of the way with your own and kick him in the chest, which knocks him back a bit, only for another guard to come up from behind you and swing his spear right at your head. Instinctively, though you're not even sure how you saw that coming, you duck under his swing, then spin around and take out the guard's legs with your own spear before standing back up, spinning your spear around again, and thrusting the blunt end of your spear into his gut.

You would have hit him with the blade, and by all accounts you wanted to, but both your inner Batman and Doctor stopped you before you could even think anything like that. Your inner Batman screams at you that there's been enough killing while your inner Doctor tells you that you can't be like these people. You have to be better. Both are refusing to let you kill. Your inner King Arthur however, strangely has not problem with it.

Still, it wasn't as if it was all for naught, you hit the guard hard enough that he actually coughs up blood, which for some reason, you notice that bits of it are green. This catches the attention of your inner Batman, but before you can even get a spare second to look at it, another guard suddenly comes up from behind you and thrusts his spear at you. You quickly move to the side just as he passes you, and, just as he comes up right next to you, you take a step back and elbow him right in his chest with your left arm.

What happens at that surprises even you, but you don't question it, but the impact of your elbow in his armor actually manages to dent his armor as you knock him back a bit just from that. You then quickly turn around and hit him in the helmet with your spear and knock him out cold before he can do anything else, just as another pegasus guard comes from behind him, flies up, and swings down right on you.

You hold your spear up and block his before you again do something you aren't even sure how you did; you jump up into the air and kicked him right in his side, which knocked him right into another guard that is coming right for you. You land back on your feet and turn to see several guards coming for you at once.

"Factus circumductus in glaciem!" you shout at them as all of them are suddenly trapped in ice from the torso down. You watch them all struggle to move, but they don't manage to break free of the ice. It has them trapped.

"Rarity!" you shout as you turn around to look for her, but she's not behind you anywhere. You can't even see Time Turner. Everything is too chaotic. Your inner Batman and Doctor tell you that they'll be all right, but you're not entirely sure you can believe them. Not with all of this going on.

Before you even get a chance at another thought however, several guards that you didn't seen before suddenly jump up out from the crowd and all come down on you with their spears.

"Amen impenetrabilis est," you say aloud as you duck your head down. Right as all of their spears hit you, your body suddenly becomes encased in stone, which stops all of their spears as easily as your shield did earlier. Nearly all of the guards are unable to comprehend this, but before they even get a chance to say anything, you suddenly break out from the stone with an explosive force and knock all of them away.

You look around the crowd again, but you don't see anyone. This is not going to be easy.

-Braeburn and Little Strongheart-

The moment the riot started, Applejack ran straight out into the crowd towards the front.

"Braeburn!" Little Strongheart shouted at him as she tried to run after him, but before she could even more a foot, two guards came up out of nowhere and got between her and Braeburn.

"Where do you think you're going?" One of them said to her in a very condescending tone. Little Strongheart looked between them for a moment, then back in the direction Braeburn went. She could not longer see him. She practically growled to herself as she, acting purely on instinct, grabbed the spear of the guard to her left before kicking the guard to her right in the side. She then immediately, with the other guard's spear still in her hooves, jumped up into the air and kicked the guard in the head with a spinning kick. She then took the spear from the guard's hooves and hit the guard that she just kicked in the head with it right as she landed.

At that she then dropped the spear and looked around through the crowd. She didn't see Braeburn or Applejack, but she did see another pony. She saw Time Turner. She saw him lying on the ground as the riot was erupting all around him.

With Braeburn gone, Little Strongheart, with a speed that Rainbow Dash was still jealous off, took off in Time Turner's direction. She ran as quickly as she could, weaving in and out of fight as she past them, and right under the spear of another guard that took a swing at right as she reached him. She ducked under his spear, and without stopping, jumped straight up into the air and landed on his head. She then jumped back up again and kicked him face first down into the dirt.

Right as she did that, two more guards showed up and pointed their spears at her, but she grabbed both of them and pushed them both backwards, making them hit themselves in the gut with their own spears before she leapt up and bucked one of them in the face with her rear hooves. Before the other guard could do anything, she punched him right in the face through the helmet with her own hoof and knocked him out.

With them out of the way, she dashed right to the still unconscious body of Time Turner and got on top of him. She put a hoof to his neck and checked his pulse, he was alive, but out cold. She then looked up into the riot all around her. Fights were breaking out in every possible direction. There was nowhere she could go.

-Enterprise Away Team-

Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Zecora all stared directly at the stage with stunned looks on their faces. Zecora more so than the others since she actually knew this pony. Gordon Freebrony on the other hoof. He.... the look on his face was stunned at first, but shortly afterwards, he grit his teeth together so hard that he threatened to shatter them with the force of his own bite as he could only look at the stage in an expression of pure rage.

Then, when the riot spread out right to them, they had to snap themselves out of it.

"DAMNIT!" Kirk shouted as another pony was thrown to the ground by a guard in front of them. Kirk didn't even waste any time as he pulled out his phaser. "Set phasers to stun! Take out those guards!" Without even saying anything, both Spock and McCoy took out their phasers and shot out into the crowd. Kirk shot at the guard pony in front of him right as he was about to thrust his spear right into the pony he had just knocked down. The pony looked up confused at Kirk, and saw the device in his hooves. "Go on! Get out of here!" Kirk shouted to her as he moved over to where she was.

Out of nowhere, another guard came out right at Kirk's left and swung down on him with his spear. Kirk stepped back a bit to dodge it, then stepped on the guard's spear while it was still on the ground before hit the guard in the face with an elbow before hitting him with an uppercut before shooting him right in the chest with his phaser.

Suddenly, from behind him, another guard swung at Kirk. Kirk ducked under his swing, then when the guard tried to swing back at him, Kirk grabbed the guard's spear by its staff portion, then spun around the spear so that he was right next to the guard. He then shot another guard pony that was coming up on him from his right with his phaser before aiming it up and shooting the guard he was next to right in the head.

Spock shot forward at another guard pony before he hit another innocent mare. Right after he did, another pegasus guard flew down at him. Spock ducked under him, but the pegasus guard landed right in front of him and swung his spear. Spock grabbed the spear before it hit him and hit the guard pony on the neck with a Vulcan nerve pinch, which knocked him out cold right there.

McCoy just shot out into the crowd and hit as many guard ponies as he could before a unicorn guard came up right in front of him and charged his horn with his lime green aura. McCoy shot him with his phaser before he could do anything.

"Damnit Jim!" he shouted right as a particularly large guard pony charged at him, which he rolled out of the way to avoid before he shot him. "I'm a doctor not a god damned soldier!"

Zecora watched with a mixture of shock and awe at the spectacle that was unfolding right in front of her. Ponies were fighting everywhere, and her new friends, the ones that she found out came from the stars, were fighting these ponies with strange devices that she had never seen. She thought back to the manticore, when she first met them. It had been knocked out by something, yet she could see no wounds. The devices they used seem to shoot some kind of blast and these ponies that knocked them out instantly. Suddenly it all made sense to her. That was what they used.

"Okay what the f*ck!!!!" She suddenly heard Gordon Freebrony yell as she turned to face him. Gordon Freebrony at this point, had seemingly had enough as he pulled out his crowbar and ran right into the fight in front of him.

Right as another guard was about to hit an innocent, earth pony mare, Gordon Freebrony ran right up to him and hit him square in the face with his crowbar.

"OKAY CHILDREN CLASS IS IN SESSION!!!" Gordon shouted as he swung down and hit the guard in his face several more times with his crowbar before he got up. Suddenly, while he was beating the guard senseless, three more guards came out of nowhere, but Gordon Freebrony stepped back away before they could hit him, then swung his crowbar again and hit one of them in the head before stepping backwards into the one behind him and shoving the back end of his crowbar right through the guard's helmet visor into his eyes before spinning around and hitting him with an uppercut across the head with his crowbar. "EVERYONE TAKE YOUR SEAT!!!" He then spun around and swung his crowbar down at the third guard pony, who raised his spear with his magic, as he was a unicorn, to block it. Gordon Freebrony however, head butted the guard right in the horn and made him loose his concentration. He then pulled the spear away with his crowbar before hitting him with an uppercut with his free fist before knocking him in the side of the head again with his crowbar.

The guard pony's spear however, flew away from the two of them into the crowd of fighting ponies, right at Zecora's feet. Zecora looked down at it as it stopped in front of her, then back at Gordon Freebrony as three more guards were closing in on him.

"I SAID EVERYONE TAKE YOUR SEAT!!!!" Gordon shouted as he knocked off one guard's helmet with his crowbar before punching him in the head. Another guard swung at him horizontally with his spear, but Gordon Freebrony held out his crowbar and blocked the guard's spear before spinning himself around, grabbed the guard's spear with his crowbar again, then spun his crowbar around to disarm the guard, then spun his crowbar around again in such away that he hit the guard with his own spear. He then spun around and blocked the spear of the third guard right as he swung at him with the other guard's spear. Quickly, he then punched the guard in the face before letting go of the other guard's spear with his crowbar and then knocking the guard in front of him upside the head, which knocked him backwards onto his back. Without even wasting a second, Gordon Freebrony ran over, got on top of him, and started beating the guard senseless with his crowbar. "DAMNIT BILLY THAT MEANS YOU TOO!!!!" He shouted as he hit the guard in the face again, and again, and again, until he was more than positive that he had bashed his skull in.

While he was doing that, another guard that he had failed to notice came up from before him with his spear raised. Before he could hit him however, another spear came out of nowhere and hit him in the back of the head. Zecora then rushed forward and kicked the guard away from Gordon Freebrony right as another guard showed up. Zecora turned and raised her spear to block it, but Gorfon Freebrony got back up and blocked the guard's spear with his crowbar before punching him in the face. Zecora then quickly spun her spear around and knocked the guard away from them.

The two of them then looked past each other as they both spun around each other and blocked the spears from the two guards coming at them from opposite sides. Gordon Freebrony blocked one with his crowbar, Zecora blocked one with the spear she got. Zecora held her spear high, but then brought the other guard's spear low before hitting him with her right hoof right in the neck and then kicking him away.

"TAKE YOUR SEAT!!!" Gordon Freebrony shouted as he just knocked his guard's spear away again and punched him right in the face before kicking him away.

At that, both Gordon Freebrony and Zecora backed up into each other as they stood back to back and looked around. They were surrounded by guards now.

You...... You cannot believe for the life of you what is happening in front of you right now.

Being psychotically broken down by him after he called you what he did is one thing, and let's face it, it's not as if you haven't heard things like that at least once before in your life. You've lived a long time, and as unfortunate as it sounds, not everypony you've met has had a good opinion of you, it's just life. You were a mature mare however, you could deal with that, even if it did hurt more than usual at times, but this.....

He.... He had THE NERVE to do that to Derpy Hooves of all ponies. To destroy her image, to talk about her the way he did, to then to condemn her to death, and do it publicly in front of every pony she knew... without a fair trial. It wasn't as if he was just spitting in all of your faces as well as hers, but the entire Equestrian legal system.

And those guards. The guards who were part of Equestria's royal guard under Celestia herself. Not only did they not even flinch, but they made it happen. They captured Derpy, they brought her to the stage, they hurt Time Turner when he tried to get to her. That.... That was just it.

In front of you, you watch Jason, with the strange, new strange new powers that he told you about yesterday, knock back several guards with one swing of a spear. As shocked as you were to even see him do that, especially since you knew for a fact now that humans can't do magic, even though what he just did was definitely some form of magic, now was not the time for that.

All the guards around you were too distracted by Jason and his sudden new ability to take all of them out without breaking a sweat to care about you. Quickly, you look around for the rest of your friends. You don't find any of them, but you turn back around to see the still motionless body of Time Turner. You then look up and see two more guard ponies coming right towards him. You could tell they weren't looking at Jason, they were heading towards Time Turner.

After everything that poor stallion had just experienced.... it still wasn't enough for them.

You feel as if your teeth are about to shatter under your own bite as you grind them against each other in anger.

"GGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" You scream at the absolute top of your lungs as you dismiss your ladylike behavior and charge your horn with all the magic you can muster.

Before either of those pitiful excuses for guard ponies even reach Time Turner, you lower your horn towards them and blast them with a concentrated burst of magic, just like you'd seen Twilight do many times. Both of the guard ponies look up at you as they hear you scream. Your magic blast hits one of them and knocks him back so far that he's probably out of the crowd by now. The other one, unfortunately, the other one quickly jumped to his right before the blast even hit him and he managed to avoid it.

The other guard rolls back onto his feet and turns his attention towards you. The look on his face is probably one of the most serious looks you've ever seen on a guard. You don't care though. For what they did. They all will pay. You don't even care how much your horn hurts right now because of how much magic you just threw into that attack. They all are going down.

The other guard then wastes no quarter and runs at you with his spear raised in his lime green magical grasp. You don't care anymore, you run right at him screaming as you charge your horn again for another magical attack.

Before the two of you can even reach each other, you blast him with your magic, but he stops where he is and puts up his own lime green magical barrier, which successfully blocks your attack. As your blast clears, you notice the lime green colored bubble surrounding him. He keeps it up for another moment before he swings his spear to the side and shuts it off. The smirk on his face is one of the most ugly things you've ever seen on a guard.

You charge your horn again, despite it being too soon, you don't care. The guard just chuckles to himself a bit before he raises his spear again. Before he can even take a step towards you however, another pegasus guard falls from the sky right on top of him and knocks him out cold. As angry as you are, you can't help but stand there dumbfounded as you turn and look up towards the sky where the pegasus came from.

That pony... Risen Flagg...... he killed Derpy in front of everypony and labeled her as some kind of traitor to Equestria.

Yeah, you never really knew her personally. You two were never that close since the two of you never really had a chance to talk that often, but she was a nice pony. Pretty much everypony in Ponyville could attest to that. She would always deliver the mail without a hitch to anypony, and even though everypony always made fun of her for that one incident where she accidentally switched two packages and dropped them off to the wrong addresses, she hardly ever made any mistakes in her job. Pinkie Pie probably knew her better than anypony, as she always stopped off at Sugarcube Corner to get her favorite muffins.

Not only did he label her a traitor like that, he killed her without even giving her a fair trial, as everypony was supposed to be entitled to, but he spat right in the face of that.

You don't even notice what's happening all around you, as you are still trying to comprehend what you just saw.

"YOU MONSTER!!!!" you suddenly scream at the top of your lungs as feelings that you had long since hoped you had eradicated completely start overwhelming you one again. Without even wasting another second to think again, you spread your wings and fly up above the crowd of fighting ponies.

"Fluttershy!" You think you hear Applejack scream as you take off, but you ignore it. You look towards the stage, at Risen Flagg... that... that monster. You can see him looking right at you. He..... he was smiling. That...... suddenly monster is too good a word for him. You will make him pay for what he did.

Just as you prepare to fly right towards him, out of the corner of your eye, you watch Rainbow Dash suddenly get knocked from the sky by another pegasus guard.

When that fills your vision. Something takes hold of you. Lessons that you had learned a long time ago, that you had tried to forget, and you thought you were successful start welling up again. On any other day, you would you would have apologized to him, flown away and tried again tomorrow, but now.... the only thing occupying your mind right now are the familiar words in an oh so familiar voice "When somepony tries to block..... SHOW THEM THAT YOU ROCK!!!"

You fly forwards as fast as you possibly can and punch the guard right in the kisser. You watch him fall out of the sky like a rock down onto another guard that was running towards another white mare. You ignore that for a moment as you turn and look where Rainbow Dash fell. You see her, but you also see another pegasus guard come out of nowhere and fly over to where she is.

Without wasting a second you fly right at the guard and tackle him right out of the sky. The two of you land on the ground right next to Rainbow Dash and roll for a moment before you end up on top of the guard.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!!" You shout as you punch the guard right in his face and knock his helmet off, and then again with your other hoof. "YOU SHOULD BEEN ASHAMED TO CALL YOURSELF A GUARD! NO GUARD SHOULD STAND OR SUPPORT THIS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE AND ABUSE HIS AUTHORITY TO BULLY PONIES LIKE THAT!!!" With every word you scream, you land another blow to the guard's face, and you keep going until. Again, and again you keep hitting him.

Suddenly, your self defense training kicks in as you hear somepony coming up behind you. You move out of the way and get off of the guard just as the other guard comes up and swing down where you were and hits the guard you were just beating up instead. Instinctively, you spin around, grab the guard's spear, then spin around it again as you break it from his grasp before spinning the spear around and smacking him across the face with it.

You then look over and notice another guard approaching Rainbow Dash, who is just getting to standing up again. You quickly spin the spear around with your wings before grabbing and throwing it right at the guard. Not expecting that, the guard raises his spear to block it, but it knocks him back anyway just long enough for you to fly right at him and kick him with both of your rear hooves right in the stomach. The other guard falls right to the ground as you flip over in mid air thanks to your wings and land right next to Rainbow Dash.

You run right out into the crowd of ponies towards the stage. You weren't so much angry as...... Okay, that was a lie, you were angry as all of Tartarus you could imagine. That pathetic excuse for a pony just killed Derpy, and that was unforgivable, but your attention wasn't so much on that right now. Everypony was rioting in the streets right now, and all of your friends were in it somewhere. As much as you wanted to kick that pony Risen Flagg's fat flank, you could take care of that later.

"You monster!" You suddenly a familiar, usually soft voice shout from above you as you look up to see Fluttershy fly up above the crowd.

"Fluttershy!" You call out to her, but she just ignores you and flies right towards the stage. As you follow her track, you look down to notice another guard pony right in front of you brining his spear right down on you. Your eyes go wide as you see it coming, but then suddenly, something happens. The spear suddenly stops.

You then look to see somepony's hoof had grabbed it, a hoof that was a cream color that wasn't too different from Fluttershy. Suddenly, you watch as Braeburn suddenly steps forward and punches the guard right in the face before ripping the spear from his hands, spinning it around and hitting him in the head, and then quickly jumping up, turning around, and bucking the guard right in the chest and sending him flying backwards.

Suddenly, you watch as another guard comes right up to him and swings at him, he just leans back and dodges the spear by leaning back, then stepping forward right as the guard was about to swing back and punching the guard right in the neck. He then grabbed the guard pony's hoof right as the spear was about to hit him, and, with a move where you weren't quite sure what he did, you hear a loud cracking noise as the guard pony screamed in pain.

Before any of them could even react to anything else, another guard pony came out of nowhere from behind the two of them and swung downwards with his spear. Braeburn backed away from the guard before he could hit him, but the other guard whose hoof he just broke didn't and the other guard cut off his hoof with his spear.

Braeburn stepped back a bit as the other guard, who didn't even take a moment to register what happened, pulled his spear back up and swung upwards with it at Braeburn. Braeburn leaned back to dodge it, but the guard, who held his spear in a sort of lime green magical aura, spun the spear around and swung again. Again, Braeburn backed away. The unicorn guard then spun his spear around and charged his spear with some kind of magical blast. Braeburn quickly ducked out of the way right as the guard pony shot him and instead hit another guard pony that was coming up behind him.

The more you watch you cousin, it was like the less you knew him, as long as you had known him, he was never able to do anything like this. That didn't matter though, he was in danger.

Without even taking another second to question it, you ran forward at the guard, then quickly turned around and bucked him right in the side before he could take another swing at Braeburn. Your kick has been just as powerful if not more so than Braeburn's, so you had sent the guard flying with the amount of force she had kicked him with.

Braeburn just looked up at you for a moment, you look back at him, a bit confused. Before either of you could say anything though, he suddenly kicked the spear that the unicorn guard had dropped when you kicked him and pushed you down to the ground with his other hoof.

It took you a moment to roll back over and see what he had just did, but when you look back up, you see your cousin Braeburn with the spear in his hooves blocking the spear of another earth pony guard in front of him. The look in your cousin's eyes was one that you'd never seen, it was like he was determined to hurt this pony. You'd never even seen him like this when he was in the buffalo war. What happened?

Before you could even contemplate anything else, Braeburn suddenly rushed forward and kneed the guard in the stomach with one of his rear hooves. Despite the guard's armor, he still somehow felt it. Braeburn then thrust his spear to the side and disarmed the guard before he, as well as any guard, spun the spear around in his hooves and knocked the guard out cold with it as he hit him right in he head.

Without even wasting another second, he then stuck the blunt end of the spear into the ground, then jumped up and spun around it like a pole as he kicked another guard that was coming for him right in the face.

As confused and shocked as you were to see this, you quickly got back to your hooves as you see another guard running at Braeburn. Quickly, you grab the apple that you had packed in your saddlebag for a mid train ride snack and threw it at the guard. The apple hit the guard right in the head. Confused, he turned to look in your direction, only to come face to face with your hoof as you punched him right to the ground before you jumped up and kicked him in the stomach with both of your rear hooves, almost like a buck. The guard pony coughs up a bit of blood as you do this.

You then get off of him and look towards Braeburn. The look you give him pretty much tells him that the two of you are definitely going to talk about this later, but for now, that was going to have to wait. You only see him nod as another guard comes right up to his side.

Quickly, you rush at Braeburn and push him out of the way before you dodge the spear and trip the guard as the spin around on the ground and take out his feet. You then quickly roll over and elbow him in the head. You then look up to see another guard pony standing right above you, but Braeburn comes back out of nowhere and kicks him away from you before he can hit you.

You knew Derpy Hooves better than most ponies. Sure, you knew everypony in Ponyville, but Derpy in particular... She stopped in Sugarcube Corner every week it seemed to pick up a new batch of muffins for her and her beloved Time Turner. You made small talk whenever she was in, and she always talked about her job as a mailmare and her husband, and every time she talked you felt as if you knew her a little more. Sure, she was a bit clumsy sometimes, and a bit ditzy when it came to it, but a traitor.... no.... she didn't have it in her to do anything like that. You knew she didn't.

It was these little things that you knew about her that made this senseless action even more tragic to you. You... as much as you tried to smile every day, you.... you couldn't feel the urge to.... not now.

You can literally feel the poofieness of your hair deflate again as the smile leaves you and you look at the floor beneath you. You... you just don't even have the strength to move. Then, it feels as if the other sense you didn't even know were lost return to you, and you suddenly hear what's happening around you. Everypony that you knew.... everypony that was your friend.... these guards.... they had killed Derpy... and now they were going to hurt your friends....

"Become the wrath of Ponyville..." you hear a voice that sounds like yours say to you. "Show them just how much we love Derpy...." Then, suddenly, at that, you feel your smile return, though it feels different somehow.

Then, you look back up and see right in front of you a random guard with his spear raised at somepony. Who? You don't see who, all you see is the guard.

You feel the smile on your face widen enough to hurt even your face as you get off your haunches and take off towards the guard. Right as you reach the guard, he doesn't see you coming, you jump right up into the air, spin around, and kick him right across the face with your right rear hoof. The force of your blow is enough to not only knock him to the floor and knock his helmet from his head. The guard falls right to the floor, he's not about to get up anytime soon.

The pony that you saved says something to you, but you don't hear her. You just turn around and notice two more guards behind you. Both of them seem a little freaked out by you for some reason. You can't fathom why, you are smiling, and everypony knows that you love to make ponies SMILE!!!!!

Before either of them can react, you jump up into the air, raise your left forehoof, and land right on the guard to your right as you punch him right into the face and tackle him to the ground. Your hoof is practically crushing his helmet. You then look up at the other pony to your left. He seems.... shaken somehow, you can't wonder why, you are just so happy right now. Maybe he needs you to teach him how to SMILE!!!!

Before he can even react either, you jump up and kick him in the face so hard that he flies backwards into another guard pony and knocks him out. The other guard breaks his fall and right as he tries to get back up, you get right up in front of him and grab him by the neck with your left hoof. Ah, he feels as if he can barely breathe, is he that happy to be here? Maybe he needs more smiles.... Luckily, you have plenty of smiles to give him. They are right here... in your hoof. You just need to put them on his face.

You then give the guard some smiles, but it's not enough. He's still not smiling, so you give him more.... and more... and more..... and more..... and more..... and more......

You get back up from being knocked down by that guard earlier only to see Fluttershy land right next to you.

"Rainbow Dash, are you okay?" Fluttershy asks you. Her voice doesn't seem like her own. It sounds as if some kind of evil entity had just possessed Fluttershy like in those mangas you read. You couldn't see her face since she was looking away from you, but you just knew that if you could, you wouldn't like what you would see, and that it wouldn't be Fluttershy, at least not the one you knew. Still....

"Yeah..." you say to her as you get back to your hooves. "I feel....." Right as you say that, you get back up only to look directly at the stage. Risen Flagg was still on it. "Absolutely livid..." you respond to her as you raise both your wings. Without even waiting for a response from her, you fly up again and dodge another pegasus guard that was coming right for you.

You're not about to fall for that same thing twice though, and you grab the guard's spear with both your forehooves. Then, using a move that you learned at the Wonderbolt academy, you spin around in mid air and rip the spear from his hooves before the spin it around and thrust the blunt end of it right into his stomach. You then watch as the guard falls right back to the ground. He tries to get back up, but before he can even move and inch, you watch Fluttershy immediately turn around and tackle him away from you.

You leave her too that as you drop the spear and fly up into the air high above the clouds. The other ponies were fighting below, but the stage was wide open, and that mother***** would PAY FOR WHAT HE DID TO DERPY!!!!

"Sonic Rainboom motherb*cker!" You shout as you adjust yourself and take off towards the stage, right at Risen Flagg. You flew right over the riot, past all the guard ponies, they were too slow for you, right at Risen Flagg... he would pay... he would-

Before you could even finish that though, your vision is suddenly filled with a sort of lime green light as you hit something solid and fall right back to the ground.

You land on your back and look up at the sky. Your vision is spinning, you can barely see the clouds above you, or the ponies around you. You try to move, but you fall right back down. Whatever you hit... you must have hit it hard. Just then, you see what looks like some kind of golden and bluish blob fill your vision before it's suddenly replaced by something more cream colored.

-Razor and Daedalus-

"WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Mehrunes Dagon Razor shouted as he blocked another guard pony's spear with his own spear before he spun his own spear around tossed the guard's spear aside. He then headbutted the other guard right through his helmet and then spun his own spear around and knocked him right in the head with it, knocking him out.

Then, just as three more guards came running up behind him, Razor covered his spear in fire as he spun around and swung it at them with a mad grin on his face. The three guards backed away as Razor swung his spear at them. One of them blocked it and tried to move in closer, but as he did, Razor punched the guard with his free left hoof right in the neck before stepping forward with his other forehoof and punching the guard right in the knee, effectively breaking it.

The guard screamed in pain as Razor stepped away and swung the blade of his spear at the guard's neck and cut his throat open, the fire also immediately cauterizing the wound. Just then, one of the other guard ponies ran up and swung at Razor. Before he could hit him, Razor immediately teleported a few feet away, and when he reappeared, he created his spear again, then rushed forward and stabbed the guard right through his armor and right through his chest. Right as he did that, the third guard ran at him, but before he could reach him, Razor immediately jumped up and kicked him in the head with his left rear hoof before teleporting again right above him, landing on him, and then grabbed the guard by his head, and then in one swift motion, jumped off of the guards back, vaulted himself over the guard, used the guard's head to control his momentum, then as he landed back on his own two rear hooves, he lifted up the guard and threw him directly into another guard that was rushing him.

Razor couldn't help but smirk to himself as he saw that. In the corner of his eyes, he noticed four more guard ponies running up at him. To which Razor responded to by creating several balls of fire and throwing them all at the oncoming guard ponies. All of his fireballs exploded the second they all hit the guards.

"See, I told you this would be fun!" Razor shouted to someone else in the crowd just as another guard came up out of nowhere and swung at him with another spear.

"Move to Ponyville you said," Daedalus the thirteenth said with very much sarcasm in his voice as he grabbed the spear of another guard, then stepped forward as he punched the guard right in the head with enough force to knock him right to the ground. "Lots of peace and quiet you said." Then, suddenly, several unicorn guards surrounded Daedalus, all with their spears raised. Daedalus just let out a loud sigh to himself as he pressed a button on his tie pin. Suddenly, what seemed like some kind of EMP wave went out around him, and all of the unicorn guards spontaneously dropped their spears.

They all looked down at their weapons, confused as all hell, but then one of them looked back up to notice Daedalus flying right at him. He didn't even have time to react before Daedalus punched him right in the face and knocked him out with just that single punch. The second guard didn't even have time to react either as Daedalus spread his wings and flew right up into the air before coming back down and landing on top of him. One of the other guards ran over and tried to punch Daedalus, but Daedalus quickly grabbed his hoof before he could touch him.

Then, suddenly, one of the other guards, who picked up his spear with his hooves, ran at Daedalus and tried to attack him. Daedalus however, while still holding on to the other guard, swung the other guard around like a rag doll and knocked the other guard pony who was rushing him down to the ground. Before the other guard could get back up, Daedalus swung the other guard like a rag doll again and knocked the guard down into the dirt again, and again, and again, and again, and this continued for some time as Daedalus proceeded to beat a motherf*cker, with another motherf*cker.

You watch with a mixture of shock and horror as Rainbow Dash crashes right into the lime green force field that's now surrounding the stage before dropping from the sky like a bird that just crashed into a window. While you are more than certain that that force field wasn't there before, you aren't exactly surprised that they put one up, given all that's going on right now. That however, is not important right now. Rainbow Dash, you've got to get to her.

You frantically look around towards the front of the stage for any sign of her, but all you see is ponies fighting. You can't tell where she landed. As you look back across the stage, you eyes lock with Risen Flagg's, who is still on the stage watching this. In fact, he is looking directly at you.

Your inner Batman reminds you of how in any real situation like this, someone as important as him would not stick around, they would get the hell out of there first chance they got. They wouldn't stay at all unless something else was on their mind. That's not what's bothering you about him right now though. It's the way he's looking at you right now. He's... he's smiling. He's smiling like he's enjoying all of this, and he doesn't seem at all surprised about you or the powers that you are using. Several of the guards you've kicked to crap were confused as all hell when you used your powers... not that it stopped them from trying to attack you, but Risen Flagg.... there really is something different about him. Why would he even look at you like that at all let alone stay here.

You don't get another moment to think about it however as out of the corner of your eye, you see another guard coming up behind you. You move to the side really quickly as the guard thrusts his spear right past you. Quickly, you grab onto it before he can pull it away, then, with it still on your arm, you spin around and knock the guard in the head with your own spear as you rip the spear from his hooves.

With him out of the way, you look up into the sky towards the stage again and notice several pegasus guards flying over towards a certain spot. You can't see what's there, but somehow, you know it's somehow Rainbow Dash.

"Voluptua cum impetu venti!" you shout as you spin around the spear you took from the guard you just knocked out and throw it in the direction of the group of pegasai. The spear flies straight at them and, right as it reaches the center of the group, it suddenly explodes in a powerful blast of wind that knocks all of them out of the sky.

With that out of the way, you quickly hold up your spear towards your head right as you see another, unicorn guard swing his spear at you. In that instance, your inner Batman, who has been keeping you more than both your inner Doctor and King Arthur to avoid any kind of killing, gives you an idea.

"Fulmen augurium!" You shout as you charge your spear with a lightning enchantment before you turn around and smack the guard with your spear right in his side. Your spear practically glows blue with all the lightning coming out of it as the moment it makes contact with the guard's armor, it electrifies him and knocks him out right then and there.

Off in the distance, you notice another unicorn guard with his horn enchased in it's lime green aura. Without even wasting a second, it starts shooting pure blasts of concentrated magic at you.

"Dimitte me, ut intercluderent magicae," you say to yourself as you run right towards him and start swatting away his magical blasts as if they were rocks. The guard backs away in terror right as you reach him. Then, right as you get in front of him, you are so close you can see the look of terror in his face, you swing your spear upwards. However, he teleports away before you can hit him. You look around, expecting an attack to come from anywhere, but he doesn't appear again. Your inner Batman tells you that he must have run like a coward.

As you turn back around however, you notice five more guards, two unicorns and three pegasai charging right at you.

"Queruli fulgura!" You shout as you swing your lightning charged spear right at them as you hit them with a mixture of your Dovakiin inspired unrelenting force push and the lightning in your spear. Unrelenting lighting you call it. Anyway, before any of them can even reach you, they are all suddenly blown back by an unseen force as several bolts of lightning fly out from your spear and shock them all, taking them all down instantly.

"AAAAHHHH!!!!!" You suddenly hear a very familiar, boyish scream are you turn your head to look in the direction it came from. Surely enough, of all possible ponies or other things that you could see her, you see Spike. No, really, you see Spike running around and dodging between and under ponies as he tries to make his way through what is going on. Before he can move any further though, four guards suddenly show up and surround him

"Sh*t!" You shout to yourself as you jump up into the air, land on another pegasus who was coming down right towards you, then jump off of him above the crowd as you hear right towards Spike. ""Fac, corpus ut fortis, ut ex anancites!" you shout just as you land right where Spike is, right in the middle of the four guards just as five more who were following you show up.

Spike looks up with a mixture of surprise and confusion as you land right in front of him. You then immediately get low and cover his body with your own just as the four guards surrounding him and the five that were following you all come out and thrust their spears at him. Every single one of their spears hits you, but the words you spoke a second ago make your body as strong as diamond, and while they do pierce through your clothes, your skin by itself is strong enough to stop all of their attacks. You ignore this for a moment as you look down at Spike, who can't even believe let alone contemplate what he is seeing as he looks up at you. He can't even bring himself to say anything. You aren't even sure if he's even breathing.

"Concutite!" you shout as the area around your body seemingly explodes as diamond like shrapnel flies up from the earth around you and flies right into all of the guards, hitting their bodies, faces, anything not protected by their armor. They all double back as that happens, and as they do, you jump straight up into the air and, with your spear still charged with lightning, you knock out the four to your left with a single horizontal swing as you hit them all before you land, spin around with one swift motion, you swing again and take out the three to your left before you turn to your right again, only to see one recover and swing his spear at you. You hold up your spear to block it, and the moment his spear touches yours, the lightning in your spear conducts to his and shocks him unconscious just as the last one runs at you swinging his spear. You simply lean back a bit and kick him away before smacking him in the head with your lightning spear.

With him gone, you look up into the air and notice two more pegasus guards flying directly above you with their spears drawn towards you.

"Ventus!" you shout as you thrust your open palm in their direction and knock them out of the sky with a gust of wind. With all of them taken care of, you turn back towards Spike, who still looks like he's pretty much frozen in shock. "What the f*ck do you think you're doing here!?" you shout at him.

"Spike!" You shout at him. Somehow, that seems to resonate with him and he snaps out of his state of shock.

"I was waiting for you all at the train station but you never showed up, then Lyra and Bon Bon showed up and told me that something was happening in the center of town so I-" Before he could even finish that sentence, another unicorn guard suddenly shoots what looks like a blast of fire at you. You quickly move behind Spike and swing your spear as you hit the fireball away like a baseball right as the guard teleports in front of you and swings his spear down on you. You block it with your own spear, which shocks him, but as you do, you draw back your right fist.

"Ferrum et accipitris!" You shout as you charge your fist with fire and the raw power of awesomeness as you FALCON PUNCH that guard right in the face and send him flying. Again, Spike can't even believe what he's just seen, as the look on his face more than suggests when you turn back to look at him.

"Sorry about this Spike," you say to him as you run over to him, grab him by his not exactly small head and pick him up. "Fugere in directione bibliotheca." Right as those words leave your mouth, you throw Spike into the air above the crowd. You watch him go for a moment before his body seems to turn in mid air as he starts flying in the general direction of the library, screaming all the way.

With him gone, another guard suddenly runs up to you and swings another spear at you. Seriously, why do all of these guards have spears? You block it with your own before you kick him in the chest and knock him back before you spin your own spear around again and knock him upside the head. That done, you look back towards the stage again and see Risen Flagg. His eyes are still on you, and he's still smiling.

-Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy-

Rainbow Dash lay on the ground motionless as four guards surrounded her. Suddenly, from seemingly out of nowhere, Fluttershy jumped out from the crowd, landed on one of them and kicked his face down into the dirt before jumping off of him again and landing between them all and Rainbow Dash. One of the other guards thrust his spear at her, but she moved to the side and dodged it, with it barely scratching her hair. She then grabbed the guard's spear, punched the guard in the neck, then tore the spear from his hooves, then spin it around and smacked him right in the head with it. She then immediately used it to block the spear of the guard to her right as she pushed him back before headbutting him. With him momentarily stunned, she spun her spear around with her wings and whacked him with the blunt end of it before lifting the spear up with her wings to block the spear of the guard behind her. She then immediately jumped up on her hooves and bucked the guard right in the chest, sending him flying backwards.

Rainbow Dash barely registered any of what was going on as she tried to stand up. The whole world was spinning around her though, every time she tried to get back up, she just fell down again. After he last attempt, she just stared up into the sky and noticed several pegasi guards surrounding all of them, but then suddenly, something flew in the middle of them and exploded, sending all of them flying off in random directions.

Fluttershy looked up to see the four pegasai guards get taken out by the sudden wind explosion. As much as she couldn't explain why that happened, she didn't care. Suddenly, the sound of an eagle caught her ear, and she looked up, only to be surrounded by five more guards when she looked back down. She just stared at them angrily for a few moments.

Suddenly, from the sky, a pair of ten inch knives fell into the ground right between Fluttershy and the guards. Immediately, Fluttershy leapt forward, rolled over the knives, and grabbed them with her wings. Right as she got back onto her hooves, she got low and cut the guard in front of her right where his legs met his armor, making him fall to the ground. The guard to her left the swung his spear down at her, but she blocked it with one of her knives, and ran it along his spear right to his throat. When she got that close to him, he looked right into her eyes, and stopped moving. Then, Fluttershy cut the guard's hoof where he was holding the spear and made him drop it before she punched him twice with both her forehooves, making him fall to the ground.

She then spun the knives around in both of her wings and stepped back right as two more guards were coming up behind her as she stabbed them both right in their shoulder blades before stepping on both of their knees and taking them out. She then pulled her knives out of them and jumped up into the air right over the spear of the last guard as he swung horizontally at her, barely hitting her wings as she spun around in mid air and kicked him in the head.

Rainbow Dash, with the world still spinning in front of her, just closed her eyes. Maybe the world would make more sense again once that all went away.

-Applejack/Braeburn-

Applejack and Braeburn kept fighting off what guards ran into them as best they could. Had Applejack actually remembered to bring her lasso, she probably would have put it to some use by now. Instead, she ducked right under the swing of another guard before she stood back up and punched him right in the head before spinning around to buck him right in the chest again.

Braeburn had just knocked out another guard by smacking him in the head with the spear he took earlier. Right as the guard hit the ground however, suddenly a lime green aura enveloped Braeburn's spear as it seemed to tear itself from his hooves. Braeburn held on as best he could, but across from him, he could see another unicorn guard with his horn glowing. With his eyes on him, Braeburn let go of the spear and let the guard take it. With the unicorn guard momentarily distracted by this, Braeburn, with a speed that was close to Little Strongheart, ran right up to the unicorn guard and punched him right in the chin under his helmet before he clapped both his forehooves around the unicorn's horn, which practically knocked him out right there. To seal the deal, Braeburn quickly spun around and bucked him right in the chest again.

At that, Braeburn ran over to the spear that the unicorn guard almost took from him and kicked it up back into his hooves just as another guard was about to come up behind him. Braeburn quickly thrust the blunt end of his spear into the guard's head and knocked off his helmet before he spun around and knocked him out with the spear again.

Braeburn then looked back over at Applejack to see that she had somehow jumped onto the back of one of the guards and had punched his head down into the dirt. However, just behind her, she didn't see it because she was concentrating on the guard she was dealing with, was another unicorn guard charging his horn with magic again.

Instinctively, Braeburn ran over towards Applejack and jumped between her and the unicorn right as the guard shot a magic blast at her. Braeburn held up his spear as the magic blast from the guard hit it, but the force from the attack still knocked him back a bit into Applejack. They both rolled around on the ground for a few moments before they both landed on their stomachs, Braeburn let go of the spear he was holding onto in the process.

It took a moment for both of them to see straight again, but when they did, Braeburn saw one more guard approaching his cousin. Quickly, he got back up, ran up to the guard and punched him in the head once before kicking him in the legs before getting low and hitting him with a sweeping kick before grabbing one of his forehooves and snapping it with a loud crack.

Applejack got up and turned around to notice her cousin break the guard's hoof just before another guard showed up that he started fighting. The more she saw her cousin do these things, the more she couldn't help but think. Who was he? Where did he learn to do these things?

-Little Strongheart-

Little Strongheart frantically looked around for a way out of this chaos. Then, suddenly she saw the rainbow pony that she knew from the buffalo war in Appaloosa, Rainbow Dash, crash into a magically barrier surrounding the stage before falling to the ground like a bird. As that happened, more of the fighting seemed to be directed more towards the front of the stage.

As much as she wanted to rush there herself and help her friend, and hopefully find Braeburn, she looked back down at the still helpless body of Time Turner. After mentally wrestling with that for a few moments, she groaned loudly to herself as she picked up Time Turner, slung him over herself, and then looked back towards the thinning crowd at the back.

Without even sparing a second thought about it, she took off towards the back of the crowd, weaving in and out of, between and in between all manner of ponies and guards alike until she escaped the riot. With nowhere else to run to, she ran back towards Sweet Apple Acres with Time Turner in hoof.

-Pinkie Pie/Rarity-

Rarity looked over from the bodies of the two guards in front of her towards a sudden crashing sound that hit her ears. She immediately looked over towards the stage to see her friend Rainbow Dash crash into a newly formed magical barrier surrounding the stage. She practically backed away in horror at the sight. Her friend had practically sonic rainboomed into a magical barrier and fell like a bird hitting glass. The sight of it made her worry to no end. The sound of magic coming from behind her however, broke her attention away from that as she turned back around to notice two more guard ponies, both unicorns, charging both their horns to use some kind of spell on her.

Suddenly, before either one of them could do anything, magic or otherwise, one of the guards was seemingly knocked away by what seemed like a blast from a canon, followed by several streamers and confetti.

"Cuz I love to see you beam, beam, beam. Yes I do," Rarity suddenly hear a rather familiar, bubblegummy voice sing as she suddenly realized what hit the guard. "Tell me what more can I say," Pinkie Pie kept singing as she suddenly appeared next to the other unicorn guard. When he turned to look at her, she suddenly jumped up and with some kind of vertical spinning kick, kicked the guard up into the air. "To make you see." Pinkie Pie wasn't done there however, as she jumped up into the air with the guard, and somehow got above him. "That I do." Then, right when she was she was above the guard, she kicked him with both her rear hooves back down to the ground, where he practically made a small crater upon hitting it. "It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam!!!!!" Pinkie Pie sang with gusto as she fell back down on top of the guard and slammed all four of her hooves right into his stomach, which made him cough up quite a bit of blood.

The sight of this practically made Rarity vomit, in fact she had to put a hoof to her mouth to keep herself from doing so. Now that she could see her pink, party friend, she noticed something. Her hair wasn't poofy anymore, it was straight, and the smile on her face was.... different than usual. Pinkie Pie didn't seem to notice her however, as she looked off in another direction and took off.

"Yes it always makes my dayayayayayayayayayayay!!!!!!" Pinkie Pie sang with even more gusto as she disappeared into teh crowd again. Rarity could only watch with a mixture of shock, horror, and immense confusion in her face the sight unfolded and then faded away in front of her.

"Um.... Miss......." she heard the voice of what was undoubtedly a guard say from behind her. At that, she just rolled her eyes and practically growled as all the insanity caught up with her as she, with one swift motion, spun around, punched the guard in the face, used her magic to pry his spear away from his hooves as he doubled back, and then spun the spear around with her magic and knocked the guard into the dirt.

-Star Trek Away Team-

Kirk shot two guards in front of him with his phaser before it suddenly was enveloped by a lime green aura and ripped form his hand. Kirk then looked to his left to notice a unicorn guard smirking at him, his phaser floating next to him in the green aura. Angry, Kirk ran at the guard, who pointed his spear at Kirk and fired some kind of magical energy blast from it, but Kirk ducked to the side to dodge it and then ran right up to the guard.

Right as Kirk reached the guard, he grabbed the guard's spear with both his hooves, then pushed it forward right into the guard's face. The guard held strong though, and Kirk could barely hold on to it. Then he noticed the unicorn's horn. Instinctively, he reached up and punched it, which made the unicorn loose his concentration as he doubled back in pain and dropped both his spear and Kirk's phaser. Quickly, right as it hit the ground, Kirk dove for his phaser, picked it up, and shot the guard before he could do anything else. Right as the guard fell, two more guards appeared behind Kirk, but they were quickly shot by two more phaser blasts. Kirk looked in front of him to see McCoy standing there with his phaser drawn.

Off in the distance, another guard pony swung his spear at Spock, but Spoke grabbed it. Then, with his Vulcan strength, Spock brought his elbow down on the spear and snapped it in half before he grabbed on half of it and smacked the guard across the face with it. From behind him, another guard showed up, but Spock quickly turned around and blocked the guard's spear with the blunt end that he still held on to and shot him in the chest with his phaser.

Elsewhere, Zecora had parried another guard's spear attack as she forced the guard's spear down before she jumped up and hit the guard in the head with a spinning kick. The moment she landed she spun her spear around and smacked another guard in the head, knocking off his helmet before she stepped forward and punched him right in the face.

Another guard came at her from behind, but she quickly jumped up into the air, backflipped over the guard, and landed behind him, upon which she got low and swept into the guard's legs with her spear and knocked him to the ground. As she stood back up, she spun her spear again and thrust the blunt end of it down into the guard's stomach.

Then, right as another guard was about to come up to her left, she simply raised her left hoof and smacked the guard in the head as he practically ran right into her hoof.

"THIS WAS NO APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE!!!!" Gordon Freebrony shouted not too far away as he smacked another guard's helmet off before bringing his crowbar back down and hitting him across the face with it. Right as the guard fell to the ground, another one came up behind him, but Gordon Freebrony quickly turned around and blocked the guard's spear with his crowbar. "I'M NOT TAKING ANY QUESTIONS!!!" Gordon shouted as he headbutted the pony right in the face before he forced the guard's spear down to the ground. He then swung his crowbar upwards and hit the guard with an uppercut, which knocked him up into the air a bit before falling onto his back.

Gordon Freebrony didn't stop there however, as he got on top of the guard and started mercilessly beating him in the face with his crowbar.

"NO COMMENT!" Gordon Freebrony shouted as he brought the crowbar down on the guard's skull. "NO COMMENT!!" he shouted as he brought the crowbar down again. "NO COMME-" Before he could even finish that, another spear came out from nowhere and hit Gordon Freebrony in the back of the head, knocking him out cold as he fell to the side of the guard's body and dropped his crowbar.

As the cut off words hit Zecora's ears, she turned to Gordon Freebrony's direction and saw him fall to the earth. Time almost seemed to slow for her.

"FREEBRONY!!!" She shouted as she spun her spear around and threw it at the guard that hit Gordon. The guard looked up too late as the spear hit him right in the side of his helmet and knocked him backwards as his helmet came off. Zecora then ran right up to the guard and belted him right in the side and knocked him away from her. With him out of the way, she turned around and got down right on top of the Gordon Freebrony. She felt him for a pulse, she found one, but before she could do anything else, she felt a shadow loom over her as she looked down and saw Gordon's crowbar.

Instinctively, Zecora grabbed the crowbar as she held it up and blocked the oncoming spear from another guard before she stood back up, smacked the guard in her face with her free hoof before she spun Gordon's crowbar around and knocked the guard in the head with it, knocking him out cold.

Then, as the guard's body hit the floor, several more showed up and surrounded her. Instinctively, Zecora moved back and threw a protective hoof around Gordon while she swung the crowbar at the oncoming guards.

"BACK!!" She shouted at them as she swung the crowbar around. "BACK YOU COWARDLY PACK!!! BACK I SAY!!!" Zecora shouted at them. Strangely enough, they seemed to do what she said, as she did back away a few paces as she swung the crowbar around.

As she was doing that however, she didn't notice it at first, but what seemed like balls of light started to surround both her and Gordon Freebrony's body a they started spinning around her. When she finally did notice it however, she looked down to notice that the number of lights had increased until within the span of a few moments, the lights were completely surrounding both her and Gordon before there was so much light that she couldn't see out of it.

Elsewhere, Captain Kirk, Spock, and McCoy were all experiencing a similar thing as lights surrounded all of their bodies. The guards surrounding all of them could only watch in immense confusion as the light surrounded them. It wasn't so bright that they had to look away, but it was distracting. Then, after a few moments, when the lights cleared, they were gone.

Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Gordon Freebrony, and Zecora were all gone without any trace of them ever being there as they were all beamed back up to the Enterprise.

You keep your eyes on Risen Flagg for what seems like several minutes. The longer you look at him, the more you slowly realize. He is enjoying this. This is exactly what he wanted. You can't completely piece it together yet, but somehow... this... the riot, all of this... he wanted this.

You don't get another moment's chance to think about it before you have to lean back to dodge the magical blast from another unicorn pony to your left and then immediately hold your spear up to your right to block the oncoming attack of another guard. You kick the guard away right as the lightning from your spear shocks him and take a few steps back to see that you are completely surrounded by eight guards on the ground, five earth ponies and three unicorns, and four more guards in the air above you.

You look around at all of them, ready in case any one of them decides to attack, as you know they will. As you do you spot one of the unicorns. It's the same one that teleported away from you earlier. Even though all these guards seem alike to you, somehow, you know it's him.

As you look around at all of them, you also look behind them too and watch all of the other ponies fighting. All of the chaos that is happening around you. Ponies, guards and citizens alike are getting hurt left, right, above, below, everywhere. All three of the characters you are channeling scream at you that you have to end this now, and honestly, you agree with them.

Everything that you've been doing up to this point, it hasn't solved anything, this riot is still going on, and more ponies are getting hurt. Somehow, you need to get them all away from here, out of the center of town.

Your mind flashes back to a moment back home when you watched some SWAT movie, you can't remember which one, probably Hot Fuzz or something like that, it doesn't matter now, but one thing about it sticks with you, and at that instant, you get an idea.

Right as all of the guards surrounding you drop all pretense and charge you, you get low and touch the ground with your left hand.

"Vestibulum scindet!" You shout, and as soon as those words leave your mouth, a massive cloud of tear gas bursts forth from your hand and starts spreading all around you. The surrounding guards back away a bit in surprise as a few of them drop their spears and start grabbing their eyes. The pegasai guards in the sky just drop where they are and hit the ground around you.

As expected, the tear gas cloud slowly starts enveloping the whole center of town as all ponies, citizens of Ponyville and guards alike back away and try to run from it. Step one: Get ponies away from here. Accomplished. Thankfully the tear gas doesn't also affect you. Now there is only one other thing you have to do.

The unicorn guard that teleported away from you before, he just keeps screaming in pain as he backs away blind, as both his forehooves are covering his eyes.

Without even giving him the chance to run or teleport away again, you run right up to him, grab him by his neck with your left hand, and with strength you didn't even have before you got these powers, you lift him up off the ground with just your one arm.

"Gaudete, quia per oppositum," you say to the guard, who is too busy screaming in pain because the gas to understand what you even said to him. Right as those words leave your mouth, you spin around, swinging the unicorn guard around with you, and then throw the unicorn guard right at the stage.

As you expected, the unicorn guard hits the magical barrier surrounding the stage, but when he does, instead it being stopped by it, the guard flies right through the barrier and shatters it like glass. Trixie, and the few guards on the inside all cover their faces as mixed looks of shock cover their faces as they can't believe what just happened.

The events of earlier pay back through your head again as you replay the moment that Risen Flagg shot Derpy. With that in your head, you run towards the stage as fast as you can, jump up into the air, land on one of the guard ponies in front of the stage, and then jump off of him out of the cloud of tear gas as you fly several feet into the air again and fall towards the center of the stage, right in where Risen Flagg is.

Time almost literally seems to slow to a crawl for you as you look directly into his eyes again and see that he is still smiling at you. It was almost like he expected this. As you look into his eyes, the moment he shot Derpy replays in your head again as you raise your lightning enchanted spear, the lightning in it growing in ferocity as sparks fly out from it.

Out of the corner of your eye you notice Trixie watching you with a look of horror on her face, but you don't care about her. You don't care about what anyone things of this motherf*cker. HE WILL PAY FOR WHAT HE DID TO DERPY!!!

The moment the blade of your spear gets within an inch of his face though, it suddenly stops. No, really, it just stops. It wasn't like a magical barrier kind of stop where something blocked it, it literally just stopped.

You look at Risen Flagg, he's not moving, but then you notice another hoof holding the spear, a white hoof. You follow the hoof and find yourself staring into the eyes of Joseph Curwen, Risen Flagg's butler.

The deadpan, emotionless expression on his face is still there, and he doesn't even seem to flinch despite the fact that there are now several thousand volts of lightning traveling through him. In fact, the lightning doesn't even seem to be affecting him at all.

Before your mind can even processes that any further than it already has though, you don't even see him move, but the next thing you know, you suddenly feel yourself get hit in the chest by something as you go flying backwards.

Hey everyone, what's up. Wow, it sure feels like we've come a long way with his haven't we, and now it only seems like things are about to get even more intense from here on out. Now, as you can probably see, this is one of the longest chapters I've ever done and probably one of the most intense fights I've ever written for this story. So with that in mind, this seems like a good spot to call an end to the first act of this story and take a little break.

Yes, that's right. I'm going to be taking a bit of hiatus with this story for a while now that this is out. Don't worry, I'm not leaving this story, far from that. I'm not even going to stop writing. It's just that there are other things I want to work on, and this story does take up a lot of my time, so I feel as if with the closing of part one, now is as good a time as any to take a quick break and focus on those things for a little bit.

In fact, here is a list of things I plan on working on.

Death Battle Equestria (I'm still working on that with KenSES64. The next battle with be out shortly by the way.)
The next chapter of Dimensional Battle Royale
A one-shot idea that I came up with a few days ago that I really want to see done.
Other projects that have nothing to do with ponies.

So yeah, as I said, I'm gonna take a bit of a hiatus with this story to work on those things, and then when they're all done. I'm going to come back full force. So don't you worry. I'm not going anywhere. With the way you guys treat me. I will never leave you.

Seriously, you are all just that awesome. Thank you all so much for your support.

Wake up. See this. What do? - Part 2: Raise the Flag (comment driven story)
