Valiant - UnlicensedBrony

Changeling drones tore up the slope of the lonely hill upon which Rainbow Dash and Applejack stood, fighting for their lives. Lightning tore from the stormy sky, and rain battered down on the two heroes, matting their coats and muddying the ground beneath them. The sounds of vicious battle echoed from all around.

Rainbow hung behind Applejack, clutching her left forehoof and wing to her side, where they'd taken a severe hit from a pair of claws. There was no way she was going to be able to use them again any time soon, so she fought with a wooden spear that she held in her teeth, backing Applejack up.

Applejack bucked a drone straight in the nose, then shoulder-barged another one, sending them both tumbling down the hill. One came up on her flank, but Rainbow struck it with the spear and held it back, long enough for Applejack to turn and knock it out with a headbutt.

ā€œToo many!ā€ Applejack screamed over the din of battle. She stepped forward and plain pushed two more drones down the slippery hill. ā€œWe've gotta get back to the others!ā€

Rainbow stabbed her spear at another drone, but it was too quick ā€“ moving to one side and biting down on the end. Growling around it, Rainbow twisted with all her might and launched the drone off the edge. Her spear split down the middle, and she spat it out to cry negative to Applejack. ā€œI can't run on this hoof, I'd never make it.ā€

ā€œThen I'll carry you.ā€

ā€œNo chance,ā€ said Rainbow. A drone came for her, and she span to throw out her hinglegs at it. The hit connected, but threw her off balance and sent her tumbling to the ground. Applejack helped her up. Rainbow shrugged her off and shook her head. ā€œI'd slow you down too much, they'd catch up and overrun us.ā€ She looked Applejack in the eye. ā€œYou've gotta go without me. Find the others, I'll cover your back.ā€

Applejack shook her head viciously, but a drone latched onto her back before she could reply. With a snarl, she started bucking it off. ā€œI ain't quittin' you!ā€

She threw it off into the night, and then there was an eerie sort of quiet. Not complete silence, but there was a definite break in the fighting. Lightning flashed, lighting up the hordes of drones at the base of the hill ā€“ waiting, regrouping. They were surrounded.

Rainbow gave Applejack a pleading look. Applejack just shook her head again, a gentle smile on her face. ā€œI ain't quittin' you,ā€ she said quietly.

Rainbow blinked a tear of liquid pride from her eye and returned the smile. ā€œI ain't quitting you either, partner.ā€ She turned her eyes over the battlefield once more, then returned her gaze to Applejack. ā€œLooks like this could be it.ā€

ā€œDoes at that,ā€ said Applejack, nodding.

ā€œI'm glad you're here with me, AJ. Here at the very end.ā€

ā€œNo place I'd rather be, Sugarcube.ā€

As enemies broke their silence and began tearing up the slopes, Rainbow and Applejack leant in and shared a passionate last kiss ā€“ their love burning ever valiant, even in the face of darkness.

Twilight Sparkle lowered the board game screen in front of her and glanced at Applejack and Rainbow. Sure enough, the two of them were locked in an impassioned tongue-wrestling match. Twilight raised a brow and Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy, who all mirrored the gesture to one degree or another.

ā€œThis is the last time I invite those two to Oubliettes and Obelisks...ā€
