The Fall of The Castle of the Celestial Sisters: 13:12 “Come on you bastard! Come at me!” “I’ve beaten you once, and I’ll do it again! You don’t even have your friends this time Miss Dash.” He’s good. Better even than last time. He’s faster, and his sword is broader, it’s making it even easier to block my kicks. “Stop using that tone you pile of horseapples!” “Why? Is there a problem Miss Dash?” “Hay yea there’s a problem! You’re trying to take over Canterlot!” Shit, barely dodged that swipe! No, I need to stay on his other side or he’ll grab those guns of his again. There, better and- “Ow!” “Sorry, did I damage your hooficure?” My leg! Damnit, I can’t feel my hoof! Not a problem, spin, buck! “Just die you bastard!” “Oh my, trying to kill me are you? Your Princess wouldn’t like that too much. She tried right up till the end to talk me down you know, even after you abandoned her." "I didn't abandon her! She knew Equestria was more important!" "Well, in the end she didn't even put up a fight. Seems years of peace have dulled her senses as a heroine. It was kind of pathetic actually.” “Don’t you talk about Twilight like that! Don’t you dare! I’ll kill you! I'LL KILL YOU!” Clang. Clang. Clang. “She wouldn’t like you talking like that Miss Dash. What would she say if she could hear you now?” “She’s not here now! She’s not! And it’s all your fault! What you did...What you did to her, I’ll never forgive you!" BOOM. What was that? Owww, my head. I can’t...move, wait...yea, I’m ok. What happened? The roof...came in...on top of me? Why am I- “You still alive Miss Dash?” “What? Why did you...why did you save me?” “You’ve saved my life once. Now the debt is paid. Let it never be said I don't repay life debts.” “You’ll regret this.” “I told you the same thing. I might regret this in the end, maybe. But I would do it anyway.” “I’ll stop you. I’ll- gah!” “Hah, yea, your wings are broken. That’ll hurt for awhile. Anywho, I’m off. I’ve got a castle to capture, Princesses to marry slash murder. You know how it is.” “Come back here yo- Urh!” “Nope. I’ve got a country to take. Remember though, this whole saving your life thing? One time only deal. Next time, I’ll lock you up, or kill you. Either works. Still, hobble off now Miss Dash, there’s nothing more for you today.” "No!" Twilight...I'm sorry...I've failed... Overlord Rule No:68 I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again, they'd better save my life again.
