The Battle For Ponyville: 20:09 “I thought you said they couldn’t use their magic weapons while the anti-magic thingie was up!” “They can’t Rainbow! This isn’t magic, they’re using chemically propelled metal slugs in these ones!” “I have no bucking idea what you just said but we’re basically really bucking screwed right now Twilight!” “Can’t disagree with you there!” This is a slaughter! It’s taking everything me and Twilight have not to get swamped by these goons. There are hundreds of them all trying to shoot, claw, stab and swing at us all at once. I can hardly tell where's up and where's down anymore. Buck, Horseapples, Shit! “Rainbow! I see him!” “What!? Twilight, stay away from him, you’re not built for fighting without your magic!” “I’m not going to fight him Dash, there has to be another way to end this.” “No! I’m not letting you go Twi! You can't seriously think you can talk to him!? He’ll kill you!” “I’ve got a feeling he won’t Rainbow. I just have to trust in that feeling.” Buck another changeling skull in, swing my spear into a second. Speed is key, I’ve been too slow. I’ve got to go fast! “Then I’m coming with you!” “No Rainbow Dash! I’ve got to do this alone. Besides, I need you to go to Canterlot and warn Princess Celestia.” “Hell no! Twilight! I’m not leaving you! I’m not!” Stab a fourth in the ear, throw him at a sixth. “You have to go Dash, Equestria is more important than me.” Punch my hoof right through a tenth, take his sword, throw it at an eleventh. “Nothing is more important to me than you Twilight! Nothing! I’m not letting you go like that!” “Oh...Oh Rainbow, I…” Fuck! Shit! Did I say that out loud!? Fuck it! I’m going all the way! “Twilight Sparkle, I know this isn’t the best time, but I’ve got to tell you, I-” “I know Rainbow.” Huh? Drop a Fifteenth to his death. “What?” “I’ve known for awhile now Dash.” “How!? What!?” “And I’m sorry, but I still have to go. And if you do care then you’ve got to go now to Canterlot. They need to know what happened here. You have to let me go and try to stop this Rainbow Dash. You’ve got put your feelings aside and be more loyal to Equestria than me.” Damnit, DAMNIT! Stupid smart Twilight! “Don’t die! Do you hear me! Live through this Twilight!” “I will Dash, Pinkie promise.” Dodge, duck, smash. I’m clear. Oh Celestia, Ponyville looks like Tartarus! Everything’s on fire, ponies screaming...dying. Ignore it, got to get to Canterlot. First, gotta go over our back line, yea, they’re already running. Huh, so much for the famous Royal Guard courage. Can I really blame them though? Here I am, flying away with my tail between my legs like a foal with their hoof in the cookie jar. No, I’ve got to get that message to them from Twilight. Twilight… “Twilight!” Fuck this noise, fuck this speed, fuck this message! Nothing is more important than Twilight Sparkle! How could I even question that for even a second? So not awesome! Where are you? Where are you!? Get out of my way! There's too many of them! I can't see shit! There! Next to the lake, with that creep! Got to get over there right now before he does something! Dammit, what are they doing!? Why is her horn glowing? Twilight!? Gah! “Twilight!” What’s going on!? What’s with this wind, It’s like something’s about to...no… ”TWILIGHT! NO!” Crack. I can’t hear! My ears! Twilight! Yes! You can see me! Come here- What? What are you? No...No...don’t say that now! Not like this! NO! Whumph. Boom. "TWILIGHT!" Overlord Rule No:75 I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.
