Nucor's Counterattack

by Matthew Stone


Between Brothers

    Fireblaze is grinding his teeth, feeling the sparks in his mouth fly out when growling in fury. He then bends over to get back up to his feet, since he’s still in dragon form. Next, he dodges Terrence’s chaos blasts that crashes right by him. Fireblaze then turns to look at the evil brother, having fire blow out his nose. He then rushes up to him to grab him by the tail, and swing him around like a battering ram, than lifting him up to get him slammed on the ground.

      “HOME RUN!” Fireblaze insults to the villain.

      “Nice.” Rainbow Dash commented on Fireblaze’s move.

      Terrence lifts himself up by levitating into the sky to punch Fireblaze in his mouth. Fireblaze is resilient though, as he then grabs Terrence by his arms and throws him to a big mountain wall, having his back snap a tad as he collides at the hard rock. Terrence screams in irritation as he tears out of the mountain hole.

      “THAT DOES IT!” Terrence screams.

      He then has his black aura increase higher around his body, as he powers up to fly back at Fireblaze. The dragon formed pony then flies back, having his palms push forward to blast a giant ray at the villain. Terrence then misses the blast, having his black colored ray repeat itself constantly to try and hit the dragon pony monster, but to no avail. Fireblaze can hardly see the rest of the fight going down below him as well.

      Eventually, Twilight came back together with Spike, Discord, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy. She comes by Pinkie, Spike, and Rainbow, as they fight against one half section of the zombie army marching toward them. The zombies’ looks were vicious, but Twilight manages to push them back with her orb shaped rays. She even transfers some magic to Spike, to have him cast bigger fireballs that melt some zombies who try to claw him. Pinkie and Rainbow then combine their attacks to make PARTY SONIC RAINBOOMS! Lame as it sounds, it’s actually badass. The way it works is that Pinkie shoots Rainbow out of her party canon, having it aimed at some of the mindless undeads. Once the canon shoots Rainbow, the cyan pegasi goes real fast and has the rainbow boom push back all the zombies in a far distance. Some of the aura wave also splits the zombies in half, having their bodies bloodied apart with the blast.

      Discord, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack then work at their side of the team. Discord uses his tail to knock down the rabid zombies trying to take him down, as Fluttershy punches some that fall back from the tail collision. She punches them on their spines, as dodging their spiked punches. Rarity acts like a sissy when it comes to being elegant, but it doesn’t stop her from shooting her magical rays. She has the rays turn some zombies into crystal ice, having them frozen on the spot. The opportunity also has Applejack break the frozen statues, destroying the enemies completely. She then uses her lasso as a whip to lash the zombies away, while also tripping backward with jumps to avoid their wing flying bites, as some pegasi zombies swoop down to try and attack her.

      Blade is close by the heroes, giving Skull’s father a piece of his mind as well. The vampire-hunting pony kicks Nucor backwards, while Nucor throws back several punches and kicks altogether and combined. Nucor especially hisses in anger as Blade punches him in the jaw.

      Close to Blade’s battle, Spike is fighting alongside Twilight until a sudden punch strikes him. He looks up, to see…. THE ZOMBIE GARBLE. The once dragon acquaintance is now an enemy, much to Spike’s fear.

      “Garble… if part of you is alive… please… fight this.” Spike begs.

      “I work for Nucor now.” the zombie dragon moans.

      As Garble twitches his hand, his zombie powers has his arm morph into a giant golden mace, almost looking like it’s covered in slimy blood. He raises it up to have it slam into Spike, but…

      FLASH!

      A sudden ray appears to push Garble back. The ray came from Rarity, from what Spike notices. She keeps blasting her magic at Garble to protect Spike.

      “STOP THAT AT ONCE!” Rarity shouts at the zombie.

      Terrence is still up above fighting Fireblaze with his black magic. The dragooned morphed pony kept flying backwards to snuff out the attacks with his flaming breath. Then, the evil brother of Discord looks down to see Rarity pushing back the zombie dragon, just as she keeps protecting Spike.

      “Rarity has magic being pushed to far…” Terrence whispers to himself, grinning.

      Fireblaze rushes over to try another attack on Terrence, but the enemy punches Fireblaze right into the skull by surprise. The attack sends Fireblaze straight to the ground, having a loud rumble sound as he lands. Terrence then looks at Garble struggling to get up, as Rarity and Spike look at Fireblaze in shock.

      “Garble, deal with Fireblaze and Spike. I’ll deal with my brother… by dealing with one of his friends…” Terrence orders telepathically to the zombie dragon.

      The zombie dragon then flashes over to Spike, just as Fireblaze returns to normal. As Spike jumps back to miss one attack, Garble strikes harder and harder at him, having blood come out of his nose and mouth. As Rarity attempts to rush over and help Spike, Terrence suddenly flashes in front of her, blocking her way.

      “Hello, sexy peach.” Terrence sneers, “I see you have magic, magic I CAN USE…”

      “STAY BACK!” Rarity screams, as she blasts Terrence with her magic.

      She was confident that the ray would hit him good, but no. Terrence was able to block the attack with his left human handed palm. He then leans over to touch her head.

      “Let’s see if you can handle…. THE DARKNESS.” Terrence chuckles.

      As Spike was beaten more by Garble, he turns to see what Terrence is doing to Rarity.
      “RARITY! NO!” Spike screams.

      Rarity winches and jolts back and forth like a beheaded chicken, as the dark energy starts to cover her. She screams in pain and horror, not wanting the evil being transmitted into her. Terrence kept his grip on her forehead to make sure she didn’t get away from the casting.

      She wept.

      She struggled.

      Then… she stopped.

      It was then that the soft crying… turning into villainous laughter…

      As Twilight comes over to save Spike from Garble, she looks at the change in Rarity. She’s fearing it most in the change of her, knowing it’s like what happened when Nightmare Moon took control of her. Now, Terrence has…

      “Hehehehehehe! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!” Rarity laughs, now manipulated and magically covered in dark aura, “NOW, NIGHTMARE RARITY IS BACK!”

      “Oh no…” Twilight gasps.

      “Well, I thought for a moment that Luna would make a better nightmare caster.” Terrence hums, “But, any nightmare bitch like RARITY will do nicely.”

      “If I may sir, I require an assistant… LIKE SPIKE!” Nightmare Rarity roars.

      She then turns to Spike, having him scared with looking at her.

      “You wouldn’t hurt me, right Spikey Wikey?” she asks.

      “I can’t hurt you.” he admits, “But I can turn you back.”

      “That won’t work out.” Nightmare Rarity sighs.

      A huge magic shadow then lifts up above her, as it flies towards Twilight protecting Spike. The powerful shadow then knocks Twilight aside, sending her crashing toward a big rock. She then screams, as she sees the dark magic covering her number one assistant, and best friend.

      “SPIKE! NO!” Twilight screams.

      Discord looks up to see this in horror, as do Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fireblaze, Coco, Blade, Skull, and even Tails. TJ even snarls at the evil change forced onto Rarity. Spike was screaming for almost ten seconds, but his memories then become brief and weak…

      Then, once the dark magical transfer was done, the young dragon rises. The change also changed his height, even his maturity. He’s now NIGHTMARE SPIKE, and he’s standing by the possessed Rarity to protect her.

      “YOU MONSTER!” Discord yells at Terrence, “BROTHER OR NO BROTHER, ME AND MY FRIENDS WILL STOP YOU!”

      “Well, you finally got some backbone bro.” Terrence laughs, “COME AT ME!”

      Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack then come by Discord to help him. Twilight feels weak and hurt that she has to fight her brainwashed friends, but there’s no choice. The other thing to remember is not to kill them. Whatever she and the others need to do to snap Rarity and Spike back to sanity, they need to try.

      Discord then goes first when running, charging himself up to raise his fist in the air. As Terrence runs over with Spike and Rarity, Twilight runs by Discord to have the rest of her friends follow her. Now that they’re combining fighting moves with Discord, it’s good chaos versus disturbing chaos.
