//------------------------------// // A Vengeful Fury Unleashed!! Tails & T.J., The Super Kitsunians // Story: Six Manipulations, Six Heroes // by Matthew Stone //------------------------------// William, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon wasted no time. Using the weapons they carried with them, they tear open each and every hive until all the slime covering the prisoners came out. Twilight was the first one to be released, while Tiara and Silver Spoon worked on freeing Applejack, Celestia, and Luna. Twilight slowly awakens to see William helping the two fillies then free Rarity and Rainbow Dash. “Guys?” Twilight moans in confusion, “What’s happening?” William then squirms over to Twilight to help her up. “These evil versions of you and your friends our kicking the good guys’ asses!” William breathes out, “It’s too complicated to explain everything else unfortunately…” Celestia then wobbles slowly to her feet, and looks at Luna. She then helps her sister up. “P… Princess Celestia. Are you okay?” Twilight asks her. “I think so.” Celestia hums. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon work hard and fast on breaking the hives, until all the hives are finally torn apart. All the good ponies are free. “How is this possible?” William wonders in shock, “We thought you were just brainwashed, not cloned!” Celestia thinks of how to explain this to William while she tends to help Rarity to her knees. “It’s a very strong body casting procedure. This brainwashing forces the good soul of the pony to leave until their real body wrongfully appears magically inside the hive.” Celestia explained slowly, “Once the replica of the pony is copied from his or her fullest pure heart, they have the black magic make the clones, and have them more dangerous and powerful compared to any other living being.” “Then, the type of clones Volucris is using now…” Twilight puts together, “She’ll be using to ruin all heartwarming and beautiful life in Equestria.” “That’s right.” Celestia moans, “And now since Volucris escaped and accomplished all that, we are now failing…” “Actually, no…” William informs, “Discord and Spike are fighting along two foxes named Tails and TJ right now. They’re battling Volucris and coming close to winning as we speak.” Twilight looks at William in surprise while she helps Applejack up. “They… they are?” the purple alicorn asks. “And we also helped them find the odd looking twelve swords.” Diamond Tiara added. “APPLEJACK!” William suddenly said when he finally sees her, “I’m SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BABY!” Breaking away from the subject for a minute, he rushes to hug Applejack, ecstatic that she’s safe. He also sees the real Cutie Mark Crusaders tend to one another. “Umf! Care to tell me what’s going on?” Applejack asks, while seeing Fireblaze come out of his hive prison. Rainbow Dash’s right ear perks up, as she hears the battle up in the mountain cove. “There’s only one thing that’s going on…” the cyan pegasi said, “We’re joining a battle with our friends. We’re gonna see what our evil clones look like!” Back at the mountain cove, the battle still ensues between the good and the bad. Tails, TJ, and Mokuba now take their turn to fight against Volucris. Mokuba shoots out firing auras with flames to hit Volucris, which she flies against and passes. Tails flies up to use his Kamehameha wave against Volucris’ poison acid attack. She then aims the attack towards TJ, which he uses his special wrench to throw back the attack so it can hit Volucris. She screeches in anger once she’s painfully hit. “Nice fighting.” Tails smirked, being sarcastic to her, “Now let’s END this.” Volucris then sees William coming back into the cove with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walking by him. Then… ALL THE REAL PONIES COME OUT, including Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are also riding on their backs. Fireblaze than walks by Braeburn, Big Mac, and Little Strongheart. When everypony else notices one by one, they stop their fighting movements immediately. Chrysalis is confused too, while Discord and Spike cry out in joy. The changelings stay put, waiting for Volucris’ signal fro when they’re allowed to continue fighting. For now, Volucris snarls at their escape. Discord then uses his magic to poof in front of the main six and Celestia while bringing Spike, Leo, and Ian along. They all hug them tightly, happy that they’re safe. “Fluttershy!” Discord whimpers, “But there was another you, that’s so…” Thanor who’s with the other dragons then notices Fireblaze. He then looks back at the evil Fireburn, who just smirks carelessly. He finally looks at Volucris, with such hatred in his voice. “THAT MONSTER YOU MADE TO LOOK LIKE MY SON! IT’S NOT REALLY HIM THAT I SAW ALL ALONG?” Thanor screams, “VOLUCRIS, YOU EVIL FIEND!” Shining Armor and Cadence then come over to hug Twilight. Mokuba stands in position by his parents, prepared to continue his fight, while he stares fiercely at the evil queen. “All these years…” Mokuba rages at Volucris, “I’ll never forget how you separated me from my family!” “NOBODY DOES THAT TO MY FRIENDS!” Tails joins in. “HOW HAVE WE BEEN FIGHTING CLONES OF OUR FRIENDS THIS WHOLE TIME!?” Discord wails while hugging Fluttershy. “THAT WAS A LOW, DIRTY TRICK!” Spike sneers along. “ARGH! ENOUGH SAPPY MOMENTS!” Volucris seethes, “KILL THEM ALL!” She then uses her horrible magic to make an infinite number of cloning changelings charge at the friends. The evil clones of the good ponies also charge with the enemy. “LISTEN! THERE ARE MORE OF OUR PONIES THAT ARE FREE FROM THE HIVES!” Celestia yells through the rumbling in the cove. She speaks to Discord, Spike, and the heroic six ponies. “TAKE MANY OUT OF THE CAVE AS YOU CAN. THEN YOU CAN COME BACK TO FIGHT THESE BEASTS!” Celestia orders. “Maybe I’ll use a magic ice freezing strategy to stop any vines or changelings that will try to stop us.” Discord plans out. Tails comes by Celestia. “What do you want me to do?” he asks. “Keep fighting with your friends.” Celestia said. “There’s a short cut we’ll take to hide the citizens.” Twilight said to Celestia, “I’ll use one of my camouflage spells that will defend them from the changelings.” “That sounds like a great idea.” Spike nods. “Good luck, guys.” Tails compliments. “Thanks.” Twilight nods Then Discord meets up with the surviving citizens, as Spike, Twilight, Rarity Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie join in to protect them. Then, the fight starts again, and gets REALLY ugly. More ooze spills out of the charging Changelings, as William gives up his cowardly ways, and starts to go crazy as he swings his sword. Celestia then charges toward Volucris with enraged fighting movements. Both the royalty horses horns collide, and grind against one another as they sink in during their fight. Volucris then eyes William and his crazy movements. She sneers at the sight of him. “YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!” the queen screams at the worm. She then pushes Celestia hard to the ground, and blasts a cocoon shaped ray at him. With that, WILLIAM IS HIT! “NO!! WILLIAM!” Tails, TJ, and Mokuba all said at once when they see him get struck. They then rush to him to make sure he’s okay. "Goddammit....and to think I believed I wouldn't become collateral damage...” The worm smirked and coughed. Then, he slumped out, unconscious. Tails and TJ looked over in horror. "Pop goes the weasel-worm," Volucris smirked, laughing. Tails and T.J. turned back, and stared in horror and rage. They clenched their fists in anger, as lightning filled the skies, and thunder rumbled. Rocks began to rise from the ground, which started to crumble. Suddenly, an aura grows around the two foxes. The fur sticks upwards on their bodies, while their eyes start to turn red with hate. Tails fights his fear more than ever, as he looks at Volucris, smirking at him. “I see you’re ready to take your vengeance on me.” Volucris purred. “I’m going to kill you...once and for all…” Tails snapped. Celestia looks up at the foxes in curiosity, wondering what’s going on. The matter was now between Tails and Volucris, because Tails met her a long time ago, just before she was even imprisoned in oblivion. Tails knew that Volucris was capable of traveling to every parallel universe to bring misery on innocent creatures. And Tails never forgave her for what she did to traumatize his life… FLASHBACK TIME!! A long while back, just before Tails and TJ came into the world of Equestria, the two cousins had been working with their parents as apprentices for their father’s mechanics shop. Tails and TJ were very intelligent at the age of three, and that was way before they met Sonic. The day that came for Tails to meet his new best friend Sonic, was also one that broke his heart. It was that afternoon day, Tails had forgotten that date, when he was fishing for a special kind of bass to help his mother cook dinner for that evening. TJ was rushing to join Tails, to help him catch that fish. After they succeeded, they made off with their meal, and went back to their house through the hills. When they went over… THEY SAW THEIR HOUSE SET ABLAZE! Strange creatures that looked like horses also surround the house, and go inside to search it. Tails and TJ were extremely scared. And they were smart enough to stay in place, because that’s what their parents wanted them to do to be safe. However, just when they were thinking of their parents… A STRONG MIGHTY HORSE DRAGS THEM OUT! It was no doubt that was Volucris. It was also to the young foxes’ horror that their parents were held to the ground by the changelings, and then… "Zero...TJ...run....save yourselves...." said Gourmeth to his 2 sons. Tails couldn’t bear to look as he knew what’s happening. Volucris STOMPED, STOMPED, STOMPED on their parents’ faces mercilessly. She dug deep to crush their skulls and destroy their brains. SHE KILLED TAILS' PARENTS… Tails wanted to rush at Volucris to kick her ass, but TJ held him back to protect him. He wouldn’t live with himself if Volucris killed Tails. He’s the best living being he really cares for. When the demonic creatures disappeared, Tails and TJ rush to their dead parents, and cry out in sadness. They also saw all the energy and blood that was taken out of them by the changelings. THEIR LOVE. After that tragedy, Tails and TJ became homeless, and tried to survive in the dark streets of their village. Different animal citizens like them also lived through a rough time, because of ongoing rumor of a guy named Robotnik threating terrorist attacks on their communities as an attempt to become emperor. The economy in this world was also at collapse because the cuts made on products, just to strengthen the law enforcement gadgets and qualities to protect the communities. Tails and TJ were just lucky not to get caught by anyone at time, just when they stole food, drinks, and clothes to keep themselves alive. Days past when Tails and TJ aged, and they were walking to another village. It was then that a blue rush passed them. SONIC. The crossover seemed weird to Tails, but when he saw the hedgehog, he was very curious, along with TJ. Tails then flies with his fluffy tails, with TJ joining him. They follow Sonic, wondering what he’s up to. “HEY!” Tails called out, “WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?” It was when Tails asks that question, Sonic stops. He then turns around to see him as the fox lands on the ground. “I don’t really know.” Sonic answered, “Just to run away from my problems I guess.” “That’s nice…” Tails sighed. Sonic then sees his cousin TJ in the distance, and sees the depressed look in Tails’ eyes. “You running away too?” Sonic asks. “Just because my parents got massacred…” Tails sobbed. Sonic breathes out heavily. Hearing that made him feel sympathy for him. Both the hedgehog and fox feel like they’re running away for a reason. And because of what is happening to the foxes, Sonic felt like he had to do something about it. “Wanna tag along?” the hedgehog asks, “I have a place you can crash into. We can be roommates if you like, just until we get you back up to your feet.” Tails looks up in surprise. He hasn’t seen anyone treat him with dignity these past days in the streets, nor did TJ. To accept Sonic’s token of friendship, Tails extends his hand to Sonic. “I’m Tails.” the fox said. “Sonic.” the hedgehog introduced. Then, their friendship has been set, ever since that very day. FLASHBACK ENDS HERE. BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY. It was up till now that Tails carried the past memory of his parents’ death, and harnessed his rage to be taken out on the enemy responsible for their deaths. Tails tears out a wild, angry scream when he looks at Volucris. Mokuba then comes by Tails to make sure he’s okay. Discord and Spike then magically appear to stand by Tails. “We helped Twilight and Fluttershy find a place to protect our buddies.” Discord whispered to Celestia, “The rest of your crew are fighting off more clones in some field.” Celestia nods at Discord, and grins at Spike. She’s pleased that they helped their friends, and to come back to help fight along the foxes, and filly prince. Discord and Spike then stand in a defense position with Mokuba to guard Tails and TJ. Tails was now so angry, he had blood dripping out of his hands. “My, you still are weak like you were before your parents got squashed.” Volucris taunted at the fox, “Such a delight.” “I JUST WASN’T PREPARED LIKE I AM NOW!” Tails screams, “I’M GONNA DEFEAT YOU!” “US TOO!” Discord and Spike said. Mokuba and TJ also raise their weapons. “THEN COME AT ME!” Volucris cackles. Then, the five friends run toward Volucris to start their fight!
