S4E02: You've Got Mail, Pt. 2
Twilight stared at the envelope. The red seal with the letter D on it was bothering her already. Anything Discord could bring to them is bound to be bad news.
"How did he find us?" Scootaloo asked, shivering a bit.
Spitfire turned to Scootaloo. "It's Discord. He's probably the most powerful living thing in Equestria by now." She told her. She turned to Twilight as she spoke again. "No offense to you, Princess."
Twilight shook her head. "He's not all that powerful now." She said. She unsealed the envelope, pulling the letter out with her magic. She unfolded the paper and began to read what was contained.
"Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle..." She began. The ponies turned to listen to her. "I see that you have found my little Secret. Get it?! Because his name is Secret?!" Twilight growled softly. "Anyways, I see you and my hired assassins have failed to kill that giant bug. So, just like The Ring, or whatever you call them, and that pest, you are now dead to me." Spitfire's eyes widened. "You know, you weren't the only one that was sent after the fly..." Twilight dropped the letter and looked up. "Signed, your bestest friend in the world...Discord."
"I knew it." Spitfire said, stomping her hoof. "I knew he didn't just send two ponies after the queen. He's smarter than that."
Secret turned to face Twilight. "I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't think of this." He said. "I...I should have thought this through. He's sending hunters after us. Assassins."
Rainbow stepped up. "You mean Discord has an entire army of assassins under his control?" She asked.
Spitfire turned to Rainbow. "They don't call him the God of Chaos for nothing." She told her. "He's going to send wave after wave of assassins at us."
Secret turned to the crowd. "Guys. We need to be more ready than expected." He told them, cocking his shotgun. "We've got mail. And a bounty on our heads."
Intro
The ponies were on edge. There was no telling how close these assassins were, or how many assassins there were. There was only one thing they did know. They knew that they have to find Discord quickly.
"We don't have much time." Spitfire told them. "I betcha they're already here." She checked her clips for ammo.
Twilight walked towards her. "What makes you say that?" She asked. As if on queue, a sniper shot rang out, with a bullet zooming past Twilight's head. Everypony turned towards the direction that the shot came from. Weapons were drawn, tension was high.
"Hey punk!" A mare shouted from behind them The ponies turned to see who it was. A blue-ish pony with a lightning yellow mane stepped out of the bushes. "This is my claim. Get your own!" She took out a revolver and aimed it at the ponies.
Rainbow and Spitfire stomped their hooves at the same time. "Lightning Dust?!" They growled simultaneously.
Lightning Dust smirked. "Ah. If it isn't the weakling and the one who threw me off the Wonderbolts!" She clenched her teeth. "Now I find a personal gain in this stupid bounty."
"Back off, dweeb!" Another mare shouted. Gilda landed on a branch in the trees, opposite of Lightning Dust. "I got here first! Scram!" Gilda aimed a sniper rifle at the ponies.
Rainbow was shocked to see Gilda here as well. "Gilda? Seriously?" She shouted. "What happened to best flier buddies?!"
Gilda narrowed her eyes. "You played me, dweeb. Now, I'm going to play with your life!" She shot at Rainbow, which Rainbow quickly blocked with her katana.
Lightning Dust turned her revolver and fired at Gilda. The bullet hit the bark of the tree. "Hey, griffon! Either you get out of here, or I'll put a bullet in your head too!" She shouted, waving her revolver around. More ponies could be heard approaching.
Spitfire held her handguns at ready, looking at Lightning Dust. "What do we do?" She whispered.
Secret, who was holding his shotgun towards Gilda, shrugged. "Not sure. Zeinwolfe, got any more tricks up your sleeve?"
Zeinwolfe smirked. "Keep your heads down." He whispered. He reached into his bag and pulled out a small strange orb. "Ready...run!" He threw down the orb, and smoke covered the area. The ponies turned and ran from the area, leaving Lightning Dust and Gilda coughing in the smoke.
Once the smoke cleared, the pony and the griffon looked at each other. "Friendly wager?" Lightning asked.
Gilda rolled her eyes. "Fine by me." She spat. "First one to kill the losers earns the keep."
Lightning nodded. "Deal." The two spread their wings and shot off to find the ponies.
The ponies ran until they couldn't run anymore. The group stopped to take a breath. "Lightning Dust. Gilda." Rainbow panted. "What are the odds?" She looked at Spitfire.
"You know, for once, I was hoping we were the last living ponies in Equestria." Spitfire said. "Because every other living pony is out to kill us."
Secret shook his head. "They're only doing it to survive." Secret told her. "Discord is protecting them. As long as they do what he says, that is." He growled. "Fluttershy trusted him..."
Twilight trotted over and patted Secret on the back. "We all trusted him." She told him. "We should have seen this betrayal coming. But we didn't. And we paid the price." Twilight turned to the other ponies. "But now, he pays his price." She told them.
Keynote spoke up. "Did you hear how many ponies were back there?" She asked.
Rainbow tapped the ground with her katana. "We still can win."
Zeinwolfe stepped up. "The changeling queen was right. This is suicide." He told her.
Twilight nodded. "I'm not saying that we will make it. I'm not saying that we're all going to survive this. But, I can tell you for a fact, that if at least one of us survives...that pony will take their gun and put a bullet into that traitor's skull."
The ponies all agreed. "For Celestia!" Coco cheered, throwing her hoof in the air. The other ponies joined in. Twilight smiled, raised her scythe into the air with her magic, and went along with the chant.
Once the cheering died down, the ponies waited for Twilight's orders. Twilight looked at them for a moment and nodded. "Alright. Let's go." She said.
Twilight took a step forward, and suddenly felt hazy. She collapsed onto the ground and passed out. The ponies gasped, and Secret quickly went to her side. "Princess! Are you alright?!" He asked. He blindly stared at the ground, waiting for her to respond. There was nothing. The ponies looked at each other in shock.
Twilight opened her eyes. She was in the endless white void. She looked back and forth, confused.
"We told thou that she would arrive." Luna echoed. Twilight turned around to see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna standing side by side, looking back at the young princess.
"Celestia..." Twilight teared up. "Luna..." She blinked the tears away.
"You've grown since I last saw you...last year." Celestia said.
Twilight shook her head, trying to understand. She gave Celestia a funny look. "Last year?!" She asked.
Celestia nodded. "You know...you were in the Everfree for a whole year. Time in the Everfree is quite...strange." She told Twilight, sighing. "I thought you would never show up again."
Twilight looked at her own hooves in shock.
One whole year...

5982441 I've been reading this (all of them), and i must say...
THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!!!!!!!!
Though...i was a bit sad that you killed off Pinkie...
5996046 Thanks. And my apologies. It's just all in the planning.
Word of advice (as much as a horrible writer as me can give),
The reason the first two seasons were doing so well and why season three and this are not as popular is because season 1 and 2 focused on survival, and after that was more action. Don't be Resident Evil. This series is amazing by all means, it's just that may be why this isn't that well liked.
Aww, is this the end of season 4?
7403465 Long hiatus. Not the end.
6083436 You really did inspire me, btw. Since I read this, I've worked to completely fix Season 4 so it can work out and try to hit the roots of MLZ.
7505562 Alright then. I shall wait.
