When the wire is snipped by Gladiator, the laser ray makes a lame, but epic dying hum. The robot griffon then has his metallic sword suddenly swipes horizontally to cut the approaching demons behind him. Bakura turns away from Sava for the moment to see his laser attack has failed. Matter-Horn grins at Gladiator for his success, as Bakura screams in enragement. Bellcord whistles in delight to his reaction.
“YOU ALL RUINED MY MISSION! YOU’LL PAY!” Bakura shrieks.
As his creaming continues, Sava punches him in his jaw, while the villain punches back at the fox to his side chest. Firestorm then comes behind Bakura, breathing ice towards his left arm to freeze it. The aid to Sava as useful, as Bakura’s fighting tactics start to delay quite slowly. Bakura lets out another scream as he tries to hit the fox again, but Firestorm comes up front to smash into his chest. The dragon pony then pins Bakura to the ground.
“You’re not going to destroy this city again.” Firestorm shouts
Zapp shocks the rest of the demons, finishing them off with the last blow of her lightening powers. Pouter slowly rises out of his hiding spot, and grins at Zapp for her job well done. Zapp then approaches close to Firestorm, with Matter-Horn by her side.
“It’s over.” Matter-Horn says to Bakura firmly.
“NOT YET!” Bakura screams.
Bakura pushes the dragon pony off with dangerous force, having him crash against the wall. The mighty heave was enough to shake the whole airship, having Zapp in fear. Then, Matter-Horn steps back as Bakura grows with a massive change of height. Spikes as sharp as knives begin to tear out of his skin, making a bladed shield and weapon for his body barrier. His hair turns into electric whips, colored golden as a greedy miser. His claws extend, and turn the color red. His feet grow as long as a beast’s, also turning into wired, robotic clamps. As his change is finished, he makes a loud roar in front of the heroic challengers. The room of the airship tilts to Bakura’s surprising weight.
Matter-Horn sighs at the appearance of the monster. Her teamwork with her friends will have to take more than collaboration to win the fight; it has to take effort and strategy. She then nudges her friends to form a group and come over by her.
“Guys…” she tells them, “Whatever happens, we will not leave this airship until he goes down with it.”
The gang shudders at the instructions, but… they knew it has to be done. Sava especially sighs, because he knew this sacrifice is to protect Corvine. The group is all here facing Bakura. Matter-Horn, Radiance, Zapp, Firestorm, Gladiator, Saddle Ranger, Mistress Marvelous, Bellcord, Mote, Sava, JT, and Pouter are all together now. They observe the villain raising his hand, as it morphs into a mace.
“CHARGE!” Matter-Horn orders.
The group does so, having their speed rush to their feet.
Matter-Horn works with Radiance, as they both zap the aura from their horns to strike at the back of the beast. Bakura than turns to them, blowing hot steam at their faces until they feel the piercing burn blinding their eyes. They scream as Pouter catches them, having JT run at the villain with his nunchuks. The fox swings the 'chuks up and down with Bakura skipping backward to avoid the attacks. JT nearly makes a hit to cut one of Bakura’s kneecaps, but the bastard only hops up to then kick him in the jaw. The fox falls back, moaning in pain.
Zapp and Firestorm then take their turn, as the dragon pony mixes his fire and ice into arrows with the painful mix of heat and cold. The spears strike Bakura on different parts of his limbs, from arms to legs. So far, the move is working. Zapp then twirls around Bakura’s ankles and has him trip down for the time being.
Gladiator and Saddle Ranger then work as a team for their next attack. The robot griffon shifts his arms to make laser cannons, as Saddle Ranger saves her anger to make muscular punches instead. She hits Bakura in the chest as she flies up, while the laser strikes from Gladiator are successful.
Mistress Marvelous and Bellcord are the next to come over as Bakura falls down. The cowboy pony superhero uses her iron horseshoes to pound Bakura in the ankles, as Bellcord snaps his fingers to have a giant fly swatter attack him from above. Bakura then mercilessly grabs Bellcord by his throat, and begins to choke him. The draconequus hero is then saved by a pulling hug from Mistress Marvelous, as she then hops to buck kick Bakura’s eyes. Blood bleeds out his left, as the villain shrieks in distemper. Now again, Bellcord is thankful for having a friend protect him, while Saddle Ranger comforts him.
Sava then charges with a growling roar, as he pulls his ninja swords out to attack the monster. As the fox swings the blades, Bakura’s right eye keeps contact of where to dodge as he tips back. Back, again, right, front. All these bends makes Sava then swing his blade to CHOP off one of Bakura’s arms. The baddie screams in anger as the blood oozes out his stump.
SLAM!
The sudden jolt of instinct then has Bakura grab Sava’s two tails, much to the fox’s unexpected surprise. He lifts the ninja fox up and looks him straight into his right eye. Snorts are sounded through the villain’s nostrils as Sava grunts in fear.
“Pathetic imp…” Bakura sneers, “I had enough of YOUR foolishness…”
“Not as foolish as YOU are.” Sava smirks.
That’s when Bakura snaps at that insults. At that moment, he grabs Sava’s other tail, separate from the left. He then grabs the other tail, and RIPS it off!
“OWWWW!” Sava screams.
Sava only has one tail now, as the double is yanked off by excruciating force from the villain. Bakura then SLAMS the fox onto the floor, having the airship rumble louder as it nears the ground. JT looks back, and screams to come to his aid. As he catches his cousin, they both look up at Bakura, who’s now opening his teeth to try and make bite attacks at them.
“Don’t you think you had enough focusing on them?” a voice asks behind him.
Bakura looks around to see Mote, ready to fight him now. The filly also wears a belt around his torso, painted gold and silver. He then pulls something out of the belt compartment, holding up three cards that have an Egyptian symbol on the front.
“I took the liberty of having Isaac give me this belt in case of an emergency.” Mote explains, “Hidden in my suit… they can…”
“Quit stammering, you brat!” Bakura snorts. “I guess your belt carries items for battle. But what good are those cards?”
Mote smiles.
“My special characters of course.” the filly finally says, “And I’m ready to cast them!”
Mote then throws his cards on the ground, and they shine as he calls his characters to his command.
“It’s all too sudden.” Mote explains, “But Isaac explained to me the one weakness against a demon’s power. That is a pair of three cards that carry souls of the light magic. A good thing that wolf saved them.”
“What? Light magic?” Bakura stammers in horror.
The beings than appear from the cards. One is a blacksmith with a helmet shaped of a heart. Another is a dragon with blue eyes. The last is a circular, round shaped creature with swirls for the eyes and nose. They each carry a sword that’s colored yellow.
“They’re known as the Blacksmith Soldier, the Blue Dragon, and the Poly Circle.” Mote finally concludes.
Matter-Horn slowly gets up with Radiance’s assistance, as they see what’s going on across them. Bakura steps back in defiance, but then steps back in fear too. Mote then chants an order for the three ghostly soldiers to follow.
“MAKE THE PALADIN MOVE!” Mote yells to the souls.
The three soldiers then collide their swords together, and have a bright light glow towards Bakura. The villain attempts to move, but something then PREVENTS him from doing so. Bellcord just snapped his fingers to make circular restraints, and they’re combined with Matter-Horn and Radiance’s light magic that just got transferred by Mote. The three of them look at the filly and wink, as their victory is nearing. The foxes even look up in hope, as Pouter tends to Sava’s tail wound.
“YOU BASTARDS! I’M SUPPOSED TO WIN!” Bakura screams.
“You’ve done two great offenses to justice Bakura, attempted murder, and attempted genocide!” Mote says, “For that, you must be perished!”
With that said, Mote roars the command for the soldier spirits to have their power escape the swords. As Bakura struggles while the spirits ready the target, the rest of the gang huddles together to stay close with Bellcord, so he can teleport them out of the collapsing airship. The foxes, power ponies, blanket, filly, and griffon hug Bellcord tightly as he’s about to snap his fingers. Mote then makes a sudden hop as he yells the command for the attack formation. The roar is heard as the gang poofs away.
“LIGHT PALADIN, ATTACK AND DESTROY!” the voice roars.
“NOOOOO!” Bakura rages.
As Fili-Second and Hummer help Isaac with a dust spell that brings the citizens and police forces back to their senses, Matter-Horn and the others finally appear with Bellcord and his good magic charm. All of them are near a road that’s across a fielded plain, far from the burning city of Corvine with red orange in the sky. They then look up at he burning hovercraft that’s nearing them at least seventy feet in the air.
BOOM!
At long last, the airship explodes, taking Bakura along with it.
“The soldiers go back to their cards after their orders are finished.” Isaac explains to both Matter-Horn and Mote, “They won’t die in any way. Still, I have to find where the cards land after the debris wears off.”
The head of the power ponies then turns to see Pouter putting a bandage on Sava’s bleeding tail, as he also sanitizes and stitches the injury. She gasps, and rushes over to him as JT also hugs him. Fili-Second comes by Matter-Horn as they both check on the fox.
“The authorities are now realizing their wrong doing, thanks to Isaacs magic charm.” she tells Matter-Horn, “How’s Sava doing?”
“The injury looks infected.” Pouter hums, “But the tail stump will heal over time.”
“Sava…” JT tried to say in sympathy.
“Hey…” Sava sniffs, “No sweat. I’ve been through worse.”
Matter-Horn then leaps forward and hugs him tightly.
“Whoa, Matter-Horn, you’re actin’ like I just came back from the dead!!” Sava said.
But, then there was an urge about he feeling he had to share. He admired Matter-Horn for quite a while now. Therefore, he decided to tell her.
“Listen….for a while, I’ve really admired your heroic handiwork, and...what I’m saying is---” Sava started.
But he was cut off when Masked Matterhorn kissed him on the cheek. For a while, her friends were silent as they watched from across. Sava’s face turns completely red in joy. In an instant, he fell over, giggling giddily.
“It’s about time he told her,” J.T. smiled, as Bellcord and Zapp laughed beside him.
Sava sighed, contentedly.
“Isn’t life grand?” he asked.
“We still have construction on the city to do.” Gladiator reminds them as he approaches, “Everything on that ‘Manhattan’- like island is as if is a landfill.”
“Bellcord and I can take care of THAT!” Radiance offers, “I certainly despise messes.”
“And are all the survivors safe?” Matter-Horn asks the robot griffon, “Any causalities or death.”
“At least one hundred with injuries.” Gladiator sighs, “But the rest are alive, all two million citizens.”
“Woah. That’s a record!” JT says, “I’m just glad they’re alive.”
Matter-Horn then turns her head as she sees the military captain walk toward her slowly with a guilty face.
“Um… I’m so sorry about… being a bully before…” he says, “I was just under…”
“Bakura’s magic, I know.” she nods, “It’s not your fault. Luckily for us, he’s gone for good. Mordum is not going to harm us anymore either.”
Bellcord smiles as he sees the gang rejoicing and nuzzling for their heroism. He then turns sadly, thinking they don’t need him any longer. Then, a hoof tugs on his suit and has him turn back around.
“Where are YOU going?” Zapp asks, holding onto Bellcord’s hand.
“I… just don’t think you need me any longer…” he sighs.
“Don’t need you? WE DO NEED YOU!” Saddle Ranger protests, “You proved to us that you’re a real hero today.”
“We can use another member on our team.” Matter-Horn smiles, “Wanna join?”
Bellcord smiles in happy surprise. Letting out a playful squee, he goes around Matter-Horn, Hummer, Mistress Marvelous, Zapp, Fili-Second, Radiance, and Saddle Ranger to give them a big hug. He accepts! Matter-Horn grins and then turns to Sava and JT. After nudging out of the hug, she walks over to them.
“What about you guys?” she asks, “Do you want to join?”
The foxes smile, and extend their hands out to shake Matter-Horns hoof. They accept as well. Mote then comes up to her and hugs her too.”
“We did great today, didn’t we?” Mote asks.
“Hey, you finished the fight the most perfect way possible too.” she congratulates to him.
Gladiator and Firestorm watch in happiness at such friendship, as they then turn to Isaac. The wolf mage smiles but then turns around to leave. Gladiator places hi robotic claw on his shoulder.
“Where would you go?” he asks him.
“Anywhere in this world where more people need my aid.” Isaac tells him, “I’m the traveling kind, and a traveler has to keep the whole world safe.”
Saying that, the wolf mage flashes off into the distance.
“Good luck to you.” Firestorm nods.
Pouter jumps up and down in joy at the excitement. The blanket even comes up to lick Bellcord on the face. As Bellcord gently sets Pouter down, the blanket sidekick then rushes up to Hummer.
“WE WON! WE WON!” he cheers.
“Yeah... yeah. Calm down.” the dragon hero smiles.
“Well, I’ll get the citizens to cooperate with the army.” Zapp tells Matter-Horn, “So… Bellcord and Radiance will clean up the mess?”
“Yep, the rest of us should to.” Matter-Horn nods, “In fact, any citizen is welcome to help with construction. See of you can get the captain’s permission for that to be possible.”
“Will do.” Zapp smiles.
After coming over to ask the request, the captain agrees. Within hours, the new members of the Power Ponies initiate the reconstruction on the city of Corvine, and the citizens once again feel at ease. A new team is assembled, with everything in place. Six main Power Ponies, a draconequus, two hero foxes, a dragon, blanket sidekick, filly, robot griffon, and dragon pony is just enough to make a strong team.
