Trixie shook her head back at what Twilight had said "But Trixie....she knows that Twilight has much more power than Trixie could ever have...." she told Twilight, glancing around before she felt something strike her in the side, knocking her aside and away from Twilight, right into the nearest wall, injuring her in the process.

There stood, a sixth ninja unicorn, but one that seemed to be wearing armour instead of cloth. His eyes gazed towards the beaten down Trixie, then to Twilight again "Now that she is out of the picture....how about we take off from where my...associates left last before they were all beaten and killed senselessly by your....unicorn friend over there...." he spoke calmly to Twilight.

***

"Um Pinkie....I think we're in trouble...." Fluttershy spoke to Pinkie as she jumped up besides her, her eyes gazing at the ponies that were starting to surround them all.

Pinkie Pie heard Fluttershy, but had yet to answer her as she did her best to still, try and hold the ponies back...well, that was until Riley jumped up onto the vehicle and started taking down a few of the ponies herself.

"Need a hand?" Riley asked simply as she continued to gun down the approaching ponies.

***

Spitfire nodded to the living planes as she motioned for the Wonderbolts to pull back, just as the missiles struck the dragon "How many more of the attackers do you think there are left? After all, I'm sure they would be running out of backup sooner or later"

Stripetail let forth a flury of magic and turned toDeimos " Grab the others and head out. Now. " he said " get on sled and head back. we're almost done here, theres only a few of them left.."
Kopa and kiara headed back towards the others, blood dripping from their armor.. I'll be glad to take this stuff off " kiara said in a tired voice "Yeah, once we've got the prisoners saved, we'll go back to the hotel and crash..Kopa agreed

Kovu and Vitani were taking a stroll through town, watching the inhabitants going about their business. artificial sunlight shone down from above, and the various noises and chatter spread around the town.

Twilight's horn glowed and a large piece of debris came speeding towards the armored pony.

-------------------

Joan was battling with another ninja pony. Her armor was dented and scorched but still functional.

A kick from her sent the unarmored pony through a nearby window. She followed up by hurling a chunk of concrete the size of pony through said window.

-------------------

"I don't know!" Rainbow shouted back as she chased after a dragon.

Captain Fairchild was busy blowing up several buildings with volleys of high explosive rockets.

Major Lockie was busy demolishing buildings as well. His cannon roared as it sent 105 mm shells into various warehouses.

--------------------

Zachary fired a volley of rockets from the dune buggy's turret at the ponies surrounding Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.

"Let's get out of here!" Deimos shouted.

Applejack lassoed a pony and kicked him in the head, instantly killing him.

Rainbow Dash used her signature Sonic Rainboom to pulverize another building. "No way! Not until we're done kicking flank!"

Mr. Bigmouth slapped another magazine into his rifle and gunned down several ponies rushing him. "Not until we've cleaned up this place."

--------------------

(Ponyville)

"I can't believe you actually thought going after a group of poachers was a good idea!" Captain Carson exclaimed as the dune buggy pulled up to Sweet Apple Acres.

She stopped the vehicle, got out and knocked on the farmhouse door.

"Applebloom!" She ordered. "I want you to go into the house and tell Granny Smith and Big Macintosh what you did!"

Sara sent some lighting then an acid ball at some of the enemy ground troops, to give a bit more cover for the ground troops on their side. Then she did another spell to cause a part of the air to solidify as well.

--------

Spike jumped out of the way of a pony charging at him, breathing his green fire as it ran past him. "ha, you missed." He said in a condescending tone.

-----

"Maybe a slight change of tactics." Jason said half to himself. he was glad he was in his imperial dragon form, though smaller then normal he thought he could do what he had in mind, though he seldom did what he had in mind.

He went for some cover and once he was there he relaxed mentally, reaching out to connect himself to the local elements. A thing he seldom did for various reasons. On some worlds it wasn't possible to do.

Once done he had the local wind pick up, & had dark clouds roll in, lighting starting to strike in the sky.

"Doom to those who follow evil's path." Jason said, his voice gaining an echoing effect.

---------

"huh, what's going on?" Spike asked looking up a bit.

-------------

Guilmon shot another Pyropshere at the same armored pony that Gnash sent a bolt of lightning from at from the sword of power. "This thing is neat." Gnash said.

Velma used her short bow she got from her ranger form to shoot an arrow at another pony that exploded on impact.

The armored unicorn just stood there as his own horn started to glow again, the ground ripping apart in front of him as a piece of underground pipe flung upwards, striking the piece of debris in what seemed to be an exact position, allowing for it to fly right over his head, missing his own head by millimeters.

The pipe in turn aimed itself at Twilight while he just stood there, having not moved from his own position before flinging it at her, like a javilin "Your magic is quite exceptional Twilight Sparkle, too bad it wont save you....nor your little....girlfriend over there" he spoke, motioning towards the downed Trixie.

However, the pipe stopped short of Twilight, millimeters from her eye as he pulled the pipe backwards, back to his own position and instead, aimed the pipe towards Trixie and in turn, flung it at her instead, just like a javilin "Your move Twilight Sparkle"

***

Jackson continued to unload shells onto attacking ponies "This is not going to end well if all these ponies and dragons and what have you, don't give up sooner or later" he spoke up, striking a pony across the head with the butt of his shotgun.

***

"So, what's the plan now Captain?" Fleetfoot asked Spitfire.

Spitfire just shook her head back "To be honest? I'm actually already, running low on ideas as it is...."

***

(Ponyville)

"But, but, but, but!" Apple Bloom started, only to groan as she walked up to the farmhouse as well, starting to fall silent by that point.

Serris · **Reply #805 on:** April 18, 2012, 09:48:36 PM

(Bridlehem)

"Spitfire, we only have a limited amount of ammunition and fuel," Lt. Martin said. "I'm already running low on ammo as it is."

Rainbow blasted another dragon out of the sky with two missiles. "I think we best retreat."

-------------------

With seemingly little effort, Twilight telekinetically knocked the pipe aside where it pierced a nearby building. Her eyes began to take on a piercing white glow. "I suggest you leave her alone."

-------------------

(Ponyville)

The door to Sweet Apple Acre's farmhouse opened and an elderly green pony stepped out.

"What's all the racket about?" she demanded.

"Hello, Ms. Smith," Captain Carson said. "I just wanted to bring Applebloom back to you."

"She wasn't a handful was she?"

A frown crossed Captain Carson's face. "You have no idea. Can I entrust Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle in your care while I return to Bridlehem?"

Granny Smith's jaw dropped. "What's a respectable young mare like yourself doing in that disreputable city?"

"Ms. Smith, I'd rather not say. Goodbye." The captain then hopped in the dune buggy.

Nick22 · **Reply #806 on:** April 18, 2012, 09:58:15 PM

slowly, but surely, Dixie, Tigress Agumon, and Agumina cleared away the enemies that confronted them. Cynder provided aerial support, ducking and weaving around the larger dragon while peppering it with various attacks, fueled first by her own magic, then with the magic of her armor
_ stripetail cleared away any of the slavers that had the unfortunate fate of being within the range oif his magical attacks.. "We've got what we need everyone.. pull back..we're not here to end the practice of slavery, unjust, immoral and deplorable as it is, that is for the residents of this planet to address.. we need to get back to the others.. and meet with Princess Celestia. the battle had gone on for almost four hours, it was nearly 11.

Kor · **Reply #807 on:** April 19, 2012, 01:37:50 AM

Sara breathed fire into her right hand, her firey breath compressing into a small ball. This she then threw at the ground.

A pony jumped to one side, "Ha, you miss.." She started to say as the ball of fire hit the ground and exploded, engulfing about a half block in dragon fire for a moment.

"I wasn't aiming at you." Sara said as the fireball exploded. "More range then my fire breath & can cover more area."

==============

Gnash decided to do a short spell, though with his species he had to speak his spells due to that was how magic worked in the universe he was from. He had learned some simple stuff from Sara and a few others.

"Oh Zephyr winds that blow on high, lift him now so he can fly." He said and pointed at an earth pony. Winds started to lift him and he rose into the air. Having no idea how to fly and getting afraid he nearly instantly lost control after he had shot a story or a few into the air and then slammed into a building a few blocks away as he cried out in fear & flailed wildly.

"ha, I thought that would happen." Gnash said.

"Great tactic, but best not try that again here." Brooklyn said.

"Yea, you can't surprise the enemy twice, in the same way in most circumstances." Gnash said.

====

Jason began to glow and floated into the air. Lightning started to flash from the clouds.

"Is this supposed to scare us?" a pony said defiantly.

The lightning started to strike some enemy ponies and the wind picked up to blow a few off their feet.

"No, if I wanted to scare you..." Jason, as the red ranger started to say, in the same echoing voice. He started use some of his telepathic ability to make that pony panic and run off screaming.

MrDrake · **Reply #808 on:** April 19, 2012, 04:59:23 AM

The armored unicorn's eyes glanced slightly towards what Twilight had done to save Trixie's life "Amusing, you would waste such power in saving....her life....I know who she is, she is Trixie....supposedly all great and powerful, but all she has shown to have is nothing more than an ego....that is the one thing....great about her" his horn started to glow again as he remained standing where he was, still having not moved as wires rushed at Trixie, along with chains as they started to wrap themselves around her rather quickly.

"You say that I should leave her alone....so let me pose a problem to you, you have two choices right now, save the mare, but in turn expose yourself for a full on assault, or stop me and let her die....your choice Twilight Sparkle" he spoke to her calmly as the chains and wires did start to slowly strangle away at Trixie.

Trixie in turn, was feeling far too weak by that point to even be able to defend herself "Twilight...." she spoke, a bit weakly for that matter.

***

Jackson moved towards where Stripetail is "You sure that's such a good idea? If we leave now, what's stopping any of these ponies in following us back to the town and letting the attack continue on there?"

(ooc: I want to point out too that while Aimee is not around, Jackson is in charge, he's got rank underneath Aimee....just hadn't mentioned that before....and yes, Jackson is his last name too)

***

Spitfire nodded back "Understood, you get back then, we'll handle the dragons for now, we'll at least try and keep them at bay for now"

Nick22 · **Reply #809 on:** April 19, 2012, 09:31:13 PM

if you want to mop them up.. thats fine
we have the prisoners we came for.. " stripetail replied. "our goal has always been to rescue them..We hasve more pressing needs than dealing with some hoodlums..
-
We wipe them out then head back to the hotel ' dixie said.. I hope we'll be in time for lunch..

"Hey Spitfire, the airshow's still on, right?" Rainbow asked. She then winked at the Wonderbolts captain as she sped off.

Lt. Martin followed suit.

Major Lockie and Captain Fairchild flew alongside Spitfire.

"We both specialize in ground attack," Captain Fairchild said. "But I can turn my gun on air targets. So what are your orders?" His 30 mm gatling gun spooled up, producing a deep bass growl that was audible to everyone nearby.

--------------------

Deimos locked onto the unicorn menacing Trixie and Twilight and fired off two shots from his rifle.

--------------------

Twilight began to rise into the air, surrounding by writhing streaks of white hot magical energy. "Do not underestimate the Element of Magic!" she boomed. Her voice took an an eerie echoing quality. Two of the streaks flew towards the unicorn while two others flew at Trixie, intending to sever the wires holding her.

--------------------

Ms. Swimmer and Joan ran towards Trixie and Twilight as fast as they could.

Ms. Swimmer had her dual sticks out while Joan had a huge piece of rebar she was intending to use as a quarterstaff.

--------------------

"Pinkie Pie! Fluttershy! Are you all right?" Zachary shouted over the din of battle. The passenger leaned out of his seat and shot a pegasus out of the sky.

Zachary swiveled his rocket turret towards an approaching dragon and let loose a volley of rockets.

--------------------

Rainbow Dash bucked another pony as Mr. Bigmouth shot another unicorn.

"Heh, I always pegged you as an egghead like Twilight," Rainbow Dash said.

Mr. Bigmouth slammed the butt of his rifle into an approaching Earth pony. "I maybe an egghead but I am also a pretty good fighter."

--------------------

(Ponyville)

Captain Carson turned to Applebloom. "Go on, tell Mrs. Smith exactly what you and your friends did," she said.

Granny Smith turned to the CMC. "So what did you do? Did'ja get yer cutie marks?"

"Oh well, I have to get going." Captain Carson then sped down the road and back to Bridlehem.

MrDrake · **Reply #811 on:** April 20, 2012, 03:42:32 AM

"I see that you decided to go with option three instead....might I instead...." the armored unicorn started as his horn glew again, riping up chunks of concrete from the ground in order to use as shielding from Twilight's attack "Suggest a fourth option....the option where you both die instead?" he spoke calmly as the shots from the rifle hit his armour.

A chunk of concrete was flung at Deimos in order to at least get him out of the picture, either by trying to kill him, or by at least getting him to move away. His gaze in turn, shifted back towards Twilight rather lazily for that matter and waited for her next attack on him.

***

"I understand where you are coming from Stripetail, but all I'm saying is that if we try and move, what is stopping these attackers from simply following us? We need to at least stop them somehow then make an escape, stopping them from following us" he himself, suggested to Stripetail.

***

"Oh um yes, we're....fine....eep!" Fluttershy called out in her usual tone before jumping behind Pinkie Pie for protection.

Pinkie Pie in turn, continued to use her cannon, firing various objects from it while Riley stood her ground, picking off both pegasus and unicorns, along with the occasional earth pony.

***

Spitfire just nodded back as the two planes took off before turning her attention to the other two. Her gaze shifted towards the sky for a moment "All I can suggest right now is try and help us keep the sky clear....that is, if you are still able to fire at the sky from ground level"

***

Gilda on the other hand, was in the midst of the battle, taking out pegasus', unicorns, earth ponies and griffons, all the while just grumbling away to herself. The occasional words leaving her mouth being the names of both Rainbow Dash and Spitfire. It was as if Gilda was still just jealous of the two of them being together, instead of herself and Rainbow Dash.

***

(Ponyville)

"We tried...." Apple Bloom sighed.

"Yeah, but we kinda failed to do so...." Scootaloo added in before she elbowed Sweetie Belle to get her to say something as well.

"Um....I kissed....Apple Bloom?" Sweetie Belle added in, not exactly paying attention to what the group was essentially talking about.

Apple Bloom just blushed away at that, while Scootaloo just did a faceplant with her hoof.

Kor · **Reply #812 on:** April 21, 2012, 01:14:27 AM

Jason used the wind to send some debris at some ponies. Then he landed, slamming into the ground with his feet, the ground flowing for a moment as if it were water, with large waves radiating from where he landed out in all directions.

"Begone!" Jason said, having a lighting strike strike down a short distance from where he was.

----------

Brooklyn picked up a pony with both hands and threw it at another pony.

Velma shot at another area where enemy ponies were with her exploding arrows while Sara sent an ice spell at an area where some enemies were, mixed in with a bit of smoke also, being combined in.

Serris · **Reply #813 on:** April 22, 2012, 11:06:44 PM

(Ponyville)

Granny Smith looked at the trail of dust kicked up by the dune buggy and then back to the CMC. "That mare don't seem to happy," she said. She then frowned. "Did you do something to her while trying to earn yer cutie marks?"

------------------

(Bridlehem)

Deimos ducked under the chunk of concrete. He swapped his rifle for an anti-tank rocket launcher. He then locked onto the armored unicorn and fired his rocket.

------------------

Twilight's eyes glowed a brilliant white as she began to hover in the air. Almost immediately, a concussive shockwave of energy surged from her, throwing aside debris and oncoming ponies.

------------------

"Yes, I can," Captain Fairchild said. He then locked onto an approaching dragon and let loose with a volley of 30 mm shells that quite literally tore the dragon in half.

------------------

Rarity was deflecting various projectiles that went her way.

"For someone so prissy, you ain't that bad of a fighter," Applejack said with a chuckle as she lassoed, then bucked a Unicorn.

Rarity deflected a crossbow bolt. "How dare you! Just because I'm a lady, doesn't mean I can't handle myself!"

MrDrake · **Reply #814 on:** April 23, 2012, 05:05:40 PM

"My....all this raw power simply because I threatend Trixie...." the armoured unicorn replied back with a light chuckle as his horn started to glow again in order to catch the incoming rocket in midflight, holding it back as his magic slowly started to just dismantle it, piece by piece "Makes one wonder what would happen if I were to just simply kill her, right here and right now...."

It was as if his own power was matched with that of Twilight's power, without the need to use any raw power himself.

***

(Ponyville)

"Nah, we didn't do anything....couldn't even get our cutie marks" Scootaloo replied back first.

"But we did try going on a rescue mission" Sweetie Belle smilled back, ignoring the fact that Scootaloo was simply trying to lie as Apple Bloom elbowed her to get her to shut up.

Serris · **Reply #815 on:** April 25, 2012, 01:21:48 PM

(Ponyville)

Granny Smith's jaw dropped. He face hardened. "Tell me the truth, did you follow that mare into Bridlehem?" she demanded.

-----------------------

(Bridlehem)

Twin sonic booms ripped through the air as Rainbow and Lt. Martin flew overhead with their guns blazing, ripping through a horde of griffins and pegasi that had emerged from one of the buildings.

"Yeehaw!" Rainbow shouted as she did a aileron roll, quickly rotating about her longitudinal axis. The living F-22 flew right by Spitfire.

Lt. Martin was trying to shake a pegasus wielding a light crossbow pursuing her. Even though she had redundant control lines, she had no armor and even a crossbow bolt could seriously harm her.

-----------------------

Twilight let loose a yell and a blinding white maelstrom of energy surged from her. Tendrils of white lightning danced across the ground, carving gouges in the pavement and setting fire to anything around her.

-----------------------

"Oh no, Twilight's gonna destabilize," Applejack said.

Mr. Bigmouth lobbed a grenade that Deimos had handed him behind a wrecked carriage. An explosion sounded as the grenade detonated, killing some unicorns behind the carriage. "Pardon?"

"If Twi gets really mad, she'll lose control of her magic and if she does, there's no telling what'll happen. She could simply turn everything around her into a potted plant or she could cause everything around her to burst into flames."

Mr. Bigmouth's eyes widened. "Oh ----."

Kor · **Reply #816 on:** April 25, 2012, 05:06:22 PM

"I think we need bigger guns, or something." Gnash said looking around him. "or combine our weapons."

Brooklyn shoot his head. "Combining weapons is only effective when we have 1 target and it only lasts for 1 shot anyway." Brooklyn said.

"I believe I have something along those lines." Jason said, starting to cast. He preferred the non casting method of spell use, when he did wield magic in his imperial dragon form, but this particular one one had to do the more regular style of casting.

"What might you mean?" Velma asked.

"Darkness beyond twilight, Crimson beyond blood that flows, Buried in the stream of time is where my power grows..." Jason said as he continued casting, having altered the spell incantation slightly due to his special relationship with time.

Guilmon pulled out some sunglasses, custom designed that he could wear, from somewhere and put them on. Though his holobelt currently made him look like a ranger, it didn't protect his eyes from bright light. The other rangers continued battling, any other enemies near enough to them.

"I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand, before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed, by the power you and I possess. DRAGON SLAYER! "Jason said, finishing the spell incantation with it's original name, before it got corrupted to its more famous name. Once done he released the spell off.

"Perhaps what the others are doing will work well together." Brooklyn said as the spell was sent off by Jason and detonated.

Nick22 · **Reply #817 on:** April 25, 2012, 09:13:47 PM

Our rings can absorb magic Cynder said " remember Dixie when we fought that Bahaumut a couple years ago?'
I was trying to forget that thing " Dixie admitted " Mr Bigmouth if you think shes going nuts, we'll use our rings to absorb the magic and provide some control over it.. at least until shes back to normal.."
_
Stripetail finished off the foes in front of him, the battles between twilight and the unicorns were the last show in town so to speak..
-
Arlene went for a walk around town, feeling a breeze blow around her as she walked.. ' At least its nice in here " she said to herself..

Kor · **Reply #818 on:** April 25, 2012, 10:15:44 PM

Spike got a bit afraid as he saw what Twilight was going through. "Everypony run." He said in fear.

-----

Sara continued with focusing on providing support for the ground and other air fighters, thinking if the need arose she'd not have tired herself out with directly fighting unless neded.

MrDrake · **Reply #819 on:** April 26, 2012, 02:51:39 AM

The armoured unicorn's eyes shifted slight, a look of concern appearing across his face. Though he glanced to Trixie again as his horn started to glow "Then how about this Twilight Sparkle, we get rid of her....and we have a proper battle, hmm?" he asked, rather rhetorically as he used his magic to grab onto Trixie and throw her out of the building, rather hard, through the nearest wall and out onto the ground.

Trixie slammed into the ground rather hard, rolling across the ground a few times before coming to a halt. She didn't seem to move as blood started to trickle out from her mouth and from the back of her head. She was indeed, in a serious condition right now, and was far too weak to do anything about it herself as she slipped into unconciousness moments later.

The armoured unicorn glanced to Twilight again "Now....where were we?" he asked, giving off a rather light chuckle.

***

Pinkie Pie watched on with what Twilight was doing "Welp, I guess that goes to show ya, you don't mess with Twilight's love life"

***

(Ponyville)

"Nah, we didn't follow her" Scootaloo replied back.

"Nope, we headed off before they could arrive in bridlehem" Sweetie Belle added in.

"Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom groaned at her friend in frustration, annoyed that Sweetie Belle didn't seem to catch on that the other two were trying to lie more than anything else to try and get off the hook of being in trouble.
