--Chapter 7--
Ending This
Nightmare Moon eyed the dog that stood before her. He was slowly approaching her, his head was slightly lowered and he was showing her his fangs while growling. Dog’s eyes were almost oozing with anger.
In normal situation she was sure that it wouldn’t be a problem to press the dog into the ground. But it wasn’t normal situation. She was both exhausted and hurt after fighting the bipod. Her magic reserves were extremely low, so there was no way for her to use it to her advantage.
Luckily she still had her wings, so she could put that to a good use. She just had to wait until muscles in them will relax, the bipod had hit her in the spot where the tendon that connects both wings is placed; paralyzing both of them. If it wasn’t for that the fight between would have been ended much faster.
When Mischief decided that he was close enough, he rushed straight at the mare with intent of biting her foreleg.
Even in her tired state, she had no problem with dodging the attack. She stood up on her rear legs and then pushed her front ones down. She hoped that the dog will fall back after failed attack and aimed a bit more forward.
However that wasn’t dog’s plan. Instead of falling back, he picked one of Nightmare’s rear legs as his target.
The moment she crushed her hooves into the stone floor, dog’s fangs bit into her leg. The dog began to move his head side to side. She screamed in pain and tried to free her leg, but to no avail.
When the dog tried to make her trip over by pulling her leg backwards, she used one of her front hooves to hit him in the head. The attack was slow and weak by her standards, but still enough to get the job done.
Mischief was thrown back by the attack, but that wasn’t enough to stop him for good. Soon he rushed back at Nightmare and jumped at her.
This time she managed to successfully dodge the attack, she rolled sideways and all Mischief caught in his jaws was air.
Nightmare’s leg felt like it was on fire, but she had no way of easing her pain. Without magic to help her she was forced to accept it. And even if she still had enough magic to cast a numbing spell, she wasn’t sure did she wanted to do this.
Each time she would use the spell, her body would become weaker overall, and she already casted it two times; for an average unicorn one is enough to make it hard to even move.
But numbing spells are not used to heal, and she was bleeding from three different places right now. The dog knew that, and he kept circling around her. Letting her slowly loose blood and straight before he attacks again.
Nightmare wasn’t about to wait for that, and as soon as she felt her wings being back in usable state, she took off to the air.
Mischief was surprised, he hadn’t noticed wings before, and the fact that he couldn’t fly gave his opponent big advantage. He knew that as soon as he would be given a chance, he had to remove wings out of the game.
When Nightmare was high in the air she dived at the dog. There was no point in waiting, with each second she was getting more and more tired and weak. The attack was too fast for Mischief to dodge and he was hit in the chest.
The dog fell off of his paws and hit the ground. When he attempted to get up, he felt that he was hit again, this time on his back. That hurt, but the pain only fueled his anger.
Nightmare landed on the ground panting. That small round of flight isn’t something that would be tiresome to her if it wasn’t for how exhausted she was. The dog was lying on the ground away from her. Before he will get up she’s going to be back in the air.
Suddenly the dog rushed straight at her. She was surprised by the speed with which the dog got back on his paws and began his attack.
Nightmare managed to take off the ground, but before she was high enough to be out of dog’s reach, Mischief jumped and bit her right wing. The pain run over her body and she fell on the ground.
Pegasus’s –and by extent alicorn’s- wings were heavily innervated. Almost as much as unicorn’s horn, the deference being that wings were sensitive all the time, while horn’s nervous system was inactive as long as the magic wasn’t used.
When she hit the ground, Mischief let of her wing and moved to her front leg. She was unable to do anything to stop him, she was exhausted and the pain was ripping through her body.
As Mischief kept tugging Nightmare’s leg –occasionally scratching her with his paws- he kept dragging her all over the floor. She started o lose hope of getting out of it. Her situation was hopeless, there was nothing she could do to stop the angry dog. Every time she would manage to hit him with a her hoof he would just shrug it off and before she would be given a chance to get up, he would be already biting her again.
And then she saw her salvation. The knife bipod dropped when she finished him off lied within her reach.
Summoning last bits of her strength, she pushed the dog off of herself and reached for the weapon.
Shortly after witnessing Revan being beaten be Nightmare Moon. Twilight was thrown away from the elements.
Nightmare pushed her away with Magic Blast, a most common offensive spell that for most unicorns is instinctual, it was basic way of defense for unicorns in prehistoric era.
The spell’s strength was dependent on how much magic was put in its use. The power Nightmare had put into the spell wasn’t enough to injure Twilight, but it was meant to push her back, and it did the job just fine.
She hit the floor head first and rolled on the ground. At first she had problems with making out her surrounding, her vision was blurry and her head hurt.
Eventually she was able to see Revan’s dog, Mischief, making his way to the dark mare. Her first thought was to help the dog but then she remembered that Revan was lying unconscious next to her. She got up on her hooves and rushed to her injured friend.
Friend… Why do I think of him like that…? Well, he did save my life, twice, and he not only listen to my explanation of Nightmare Moon’s history –and I know that even Celestia is bored when I try to explain anything- but also seemed to be interested, but that doesn’t… Damn it! I don’t have time to think about that stuff! He’ll bleed out if I won’t do anything!
When she was closer she looked at him to judge the injures. And it didn’t look good.
His entire face was covered in bruises and blood was leaking from his broken nose and forehead. The area around his right eye was swollen. His left shoulder was pierced and bleeding heavily. Left arm was clearly broken, the place where the bone was damaged was swollen purple. His clothes were completely destroyed and covered with his own blood. The wound from the attack of Timberwolves was reopened and also bleeding, thankfully not as much as the one on his shoulder.
She took his shirt off (at first she used her magic but after that for some reason failing, doing it with her hooves) and gasped then she saw his chest.
Not because she was impressed by it (ok, that too) but because of how bad it looked. His entire chest was covered in bruises and one of his ribs was sticking out, while at least five more were broken. His stomach didn’t looked any better.
His breath was slow but stable, so at lest he was alive.
She tried to use a healing magic but to no avail. The magic didn’t even seamed to see his presence. And so she was forced to do something she hated, she had to improvise. She looked around, looking for something that could work as a bandage.
The first thing that came to her mind was the makeshift bandage from Fluttershy, but that one was tore apart and useless. Only other thing that could be used to close human’s wounds was his shirt.
The tried to tear it apart with magic, but again her magic proved to be useless. Something was causing Revan and his stuff to be completely ignored by magic. Perhaps something Nightmare Moon did.
Not letting that distract her, she reached for the cloth with her hooves. Tearing it down proved to be rather hard task -the material was really strong- but she managed to split it three parts.
The first one she’d put on the wound on his arm and began to tie it up around the human’s shoulder. However, she didn’t managed to finish that task. Revan began to spit blood on her face and his body started to convulse.
She tried to keep him in place so he won’t hurt himself, but he was far stronger then she was. All the time he was puking and coughing out blood.
Eventually he stopped and his breathing returned to its slow rate. His eyes were now slightly opened; Twilight immediately notice that. “Don’t worry Revan, I’ll put you back together. J-just don’t die over here, ok?”
He gave a barely noticeable nod. Revan’s entire body felt like it was on fire. It was hard to breath, so he knew his ribs were broken. His eyes fell on the fight between Mischief and Nightmare Moon. Small smile appeared on his lips when he saw his dog biting Nightmare’s wing.
He reached his hand to the holster that carried his gun. With one hand he upholstered it and put on the ground. Then he reached for his spare magazine and using one hand he replaced the empty clip with the new one. He attempted to pick it up and help Mischief if that would be necessary, but he was too weak to lift the weapon.
Five ponies tried to open the gate that closed in front of their muzzles when Mischief activated the plate. Each in their own way.
Rainbow and Applejack tried to destroy the gate, but to no effect whatsoever. Ok, their rear legs hurt now, but that is to be expected after you’re kicking the iron gate.
Rarity attempted to lift the gate with her telekinesis, but it was too heavy for her.
Fluttershy wasn’t really helping, she just kept panicking.
“Damn it, Fluttershy! You can help us too you know!” Screamed annoyed Rainbow Dash.
“B-but how!? I’m t-too weak, and now they will get hurt because I-I’m so weak.”She broke down and began to cry.
“Well, if all you will do is lying on the ground and crying, you’re not going to help them.” That only made the yellow pegasus cry more.
Rarity shoot Rainbow a glare and turned to her timid friend. She knelt down to the pagasus and gently stroked her mane. “Shhh, it’s ok, darling. I’m sure we will get there and everypony will be fine, let’s just get that gate open.”
*SOB*”A-alright, what do you want me to do?”
“Do you think you can ask some of your animal friends to help us open the gate?”
“Yes, I think I can do that.” She wiped the tears from her eyes and turned to live the room but was stopped by Applejack.
“Wait a minute, did any of ya see Pinkie?” Ask the farmer.
All ponies looked around the room and realized that their Pink friend was nowhere to be seen.
“Aw for bucks sake! Where did she go now!? With her ‘abilities’ we could be able to lift that thing.”
Suddenly the voice rang from the doorway and all ponies turned their eyes, to see Pinkie with some strange looking red cart. “Don’t worry my little Dashie! I’m here to save the day!”
She pushed the cart to the gate and placed it under the gate. “What is that thing?” Asked ‘Dashie’.
“That’s a Car jack”
“A what now?” Pinkie didn’t answer. She began to pump the handle up and down. Slowly the gate was getting open.
Soon there was enough space for ponies to slip beneath the gate.
There were no questions asked. They all know it was pointless.
With the knife held in her hoof (will be explained later) Nightmare Moon looked at the dog she’d pushed away. He was already preparing himself for the next attack.
Mischief had enough of toying with her and this time, instead of targeting one of her wings or legs, he aimed for the throat.
He jumped at her.
And she was ready. With last bits of her strength fueled by adrenaline, Nightmare Moon pushed the knife into dog’s eye.
Mischief whined in pain and fell behind Nightmare with the knife still stuck in his eyehole. As he lied on the ground, he desperately tried to get the blade out, but with no success. Eventually he fell into the darkness.
With the dog finally out of the way, adrenaline in Nightmare’s body fell down and she felt the full force of the pain that has been put upon her. She couldn’t move, but it wasn’t over. The lavender unicorn was still here. And she was ready to fight.
The unicorn grabbed her in telekinetic grip and threw in the wall. But that was just the beginning of what was coming. When Nightmare landed on the ground she was hit be few magic projectiles.
Nightmare was being thrown around the room like a ragdoll, the unicorn has shown great finesse in her use of magic, often adding more advanced spells to simple telekinesis. There was not enough strength left in Nightmare to fight back, and as she started to accept her failure she felt that something was trying to get out of her.
It was Luna.
That pathetic, weak piece of junk was trying to best her.
She was not about to let that happen. But she needed magic to renew the locks she had put on Luna. Magic she didn’t have.
But there was one unicorn that had enough of it to ‘share’ share with her.
When she landed in the middle if the room she played dead. If she would be anything less than an alicorn she would have been. But killing an alicorn is a challenge not many could have succeed in, and if that alicorn is a black magic user it was even harder.
The unicorn approached her. She was at the edge of tears, probably terrified at the thought of killing somepony. She poked Nightmare’s ‘dead’ body expecting no response. But as soon as Nightmare knew she was standing next to her, she opened her eyes and coughed unicorn’s horn in her hoof.
Immediately, Twilight felt magic being drained from her body. She screamed in pain as Nightmare was beginning to get back on her hooves.
The magic draining technique she was using now had one major setback. Even though it required almost no magic to be used, it transferred all gained magic –no mater of what kind- into pure black magic.
And storing big amounts of black magic was both beneficial and dangerous. It could gave complete immunity to pain, increase strength and sharpen senses but in turn it was making user much more aggressive and reckless. Not to mention the damage it was causing to the body and brain, also, being immune to pain wasn’t necessary a good thing, it wasn’t immunity to damage after all and even though she wouldn’t feel anything, when it will fade away her body may not withstand the damage.
But at the moment she was the exact the thing she needed. When the unicorn was left without any magic, Nightmare threw her away.
Black magic in her body caused her mane to turn into blue flame and she was enveloped by mist of black smoke. The area around her seemed to be colder.
She noticed that the unicorn was trying to crawl away from her. She coughed her with the mist of black magic and lifted into the air; lightly pressing on her throat. “Did you really think you could have defeat ME? The elements are destroyed, and soon the night will envelop the entire world!” She began to laugh maniacally. The grip around Twilight’s throat tightened and she started to choke while Nightmare laughed.
Revan saw all this, and he was angry. She’d beaten him up, hurt Mischief (he was still breathing) and was right now choking the pony that probably saved his life.
All pain in his body was forgotten as he picked up his gun and got up. He was slowly approaching Nightmare from behind; she was unaware of his presence.
When he was few meters away he aimed his gun at her. “Żryj ołów szmato.” ((Eat lead bitch))The moment Nightmare turned around, he pulled the trigger.
*BANG*
The bullet had hit her in the chest, ripping through her lung.
Recoil from the shot made him drop the gun. He looked at Nightmare who to his surprise was almost unmoved by the bullet that just pierced her lung. All she did was dropping Twilight on the ground.
Nightmare sent one powerful uppercut aimed at the human. Revan was sent flying in the air; his jaw was broken. When he hit the ground his world slowly began to fade into blackness.
The last thing he saw was 5 ponies running into the room…

Świetny rozdział, tak trzymać.
szczęśliwy pisania,
-Bright Light
I am not happy that he was hurt, but i am glad that it really don´t look like the dog would be better than Nightmare Moon, that would have been strange, but she is already weak now.
Really good outcome so far, not sure why, but i really feared that the dog could end up being Wonder Dog, but it looke pretty realistic, well as real as it can be with Magic and all of it.
Good chapter, it made the story a bit better for me.
uff that keeps getting more interesting
I hope the poor dog and his owner go well with this problem
I look forward to the next chapter
