The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"I'll get Trixie!" Joan said as she put down her rebar staff. She gently cradled Trixie in her metal clad arms. Despite the armor giving her enough strength  to hoist three tons over her head, she was able to pick up and hold something as delicate as an injured unicorn.

She then gently placed the battered unicorn on a repulsorsled. "Trixie, I don't know if you can hear me but you'll be okay."

Joan then grabbed a first aid kit from the sled and opened it as she started tending to Trixie's wounds.

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

Zachary leapt out of the dune buggy and shot two more pegasi out of the sky when he saw Twilight aflame with a magical blue fire. The blast of heat caused him to flinch. "S---balls! I think we had better run!"

Deimos, who was taking cover behind a destroyed repulsorsled shook his head. "No. We stay with her until she calms down."

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

Mr. Bigmouth pulled a tricorder from his recovered messenger bag. The energy level from Twilight caused the needle to spike. "Guys, you must sap some of the power from her, if you don't she could actually explode and kill all of us!" His voice carried an obvious note of fear.

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

The concrete around Twilight was actually starting to melt from the heat radiated off her body. Tendrils of blue fire writhed on the ground like snakes, igniting whatever they touched.

Suddenly, she emitted a massive blue fireball from her horn that rivaled even the deadly magma cannon mounted on some of the Spire of Winter's vehicles.

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

(Ponyville)

Granny Smith's expression instantly changed as Sweetie Belle spoke. "You three get inside the house this instant!" she ordered. "I don't want y'all outside until Rarity and Applejack find out about this!"

"My....what power you have...." the armored unicorn replied as his horn started to glow again, and on the tip of it, he started to gather energy himself "But I am still curious as to which of us two is the more powerful unicorn in all of Equestria...." the energy continued to gather on the tip of his horn "After all, once I am able to defeat you Twilight Sparkle, then the answer shall be clear.....besides, knocking Trixie from her spot, putting her in her place was easy, but you on the other hand...."

And that's when he fired a beam of energy, aimed right for Twilight's head.

***

Trixie did seem to move somewhat, a faint voice from her "Twilight....." was all she had said, not even opening up her eyes.

***

(Ponyville)

"Way to go Sweetie belle" Scootaloo told the unicorn filly sarcastically as she entered the house.

Apple Bloom just looked at Sweetie Belle and shook her head and followed Scootaloo inside.

Sweetie belle just sighed and hung her head somewhat and entered the farm house too.

Dixie and Cynder pointed their rings at Twilight and slowly began to absorb some of the energy she was giving off. Cynder was impressed by the power Twilight was displaying..
Stripetail was keeping an eye on the unicorn. " Your allies are beaten , unicorn and only you remain. stop fighting, or else!
 Want me to blast him? Ratchet said getting an itchy trigger finger ' I don't think blasters will have much effect on him, with the magical energy he is displaying Clank said.

Spike ran over to where Trixie was, "Will she be ok?  Can I do anything to help?" He asked.  From the same place he could pull a quill & paper from where he stored them somewhere behind him, he pulled out some bandages.  "Will these help any?" He asked.  

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

Gnash saw a pegasus pony and with a shout of "Shouryuken" jumped and punched it holding the power sword with just one of his hands, knocked it out and sent it flying into the ground some distance away.  

"And you said I was playing to much of that video game.  How else would I have learned that move but by watching the characters do it in the game." Gnash said to Brooklyn in a humorous tone of voice.

Soon enough, Trixie had managed to open up her eyes rather weakly, seeing that she was being held by one of the aliens.  Her eyes shifted towards Spike, seeing that he wanted to help out as well.  Granted, Trixie was feeling a bit oblivious to what was going on and in turn, quickly sat up "Twilight!" was all she had to say before wincing quite badly, the pain in her mouth and back of her head registating and quickly, she fells backwards.

"Trixie....Trixie is....she is fine...." Trixie muttered to herself, as if she was still trying to make it seem as though she wasn't as injured as she should be as she attempted to concentrate.  Her horn started to glow for a brief moment, only to be stopped as a sharp pain entered her head and in turn, she grasped her forehead with her hooves.

Her eyes shifted over slightly and saw Twilight in the distance, and the power she was giving off.  Her eyes widened slightly "Twilight...." she muttered a little and attempted to get free of Joan's grasp.

"Trixie, please, you'll only hurt yourself," Joan said softly as she stroked her mane. She gently but firmly held her down. "You need to rest." She then turned to Spike. "Thanks, Spike. You can start bandaging her wounds."

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

Captain Carson's dune buggy came screaming onto the scene with its dual machine guns ablaze, mowing down the last slavers that came from the building.

"Yeehaw!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted as he continued firing.

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

Mr. Bigmouth was watching the tricorder's read out. Soon it stabilized. "Okay, she's in the clear but be ready!"

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

The enormous blue fireball sliced through the beam of energy that the enemy unicorn fired. Already, Twilight was preparing a second even more lethal beam attack.

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

(Unknown Planet)

Dr. Kerzach was carrying a box of supplies that Chong had sent him and Nick to fetch.

"What is in these boxes? Maybe we can use them to escape or send distress signal," he said.

"But Twilight....she needs to know that Trixie is fine...." Trixie mumbled a little, still looking over in Twilight's direction before giving off a sigh.  She did however, start to think for a moment, despite in a bit of pain still, and the need to rest up.  She started to concentrate again, yet, the pain in her head stopped her horn from glowing.

Trixie then, attempted it again, already exhausting a fair bit of her strength in trying to use her magic again and managed to summon a single rocket and sent it flying off in the direction of the unicorn that was still alive.

After sending off said rocket, she clasped her forehead again in extreme pain, seeming to have ignored Joan's request in staying still.

***

The unicorn remained concentrating upon the attack that was connecting with his....well, that was until he was struck by that single rocket.  That one split second in which he was struck by said rocket, and in turn his concentration shifted to where it had come from, just long enough for Twilight's attack to push through his own.

He was blasted by the attack and fell down onto one front knee, having been weakened somewhat by Twilight's first attack "I thought I took care of that featherbrain Trixie....." she seemed to growl lightly, yet, loud enough for Twilight to hear, unaware that Twilight was indeed, readying a second attack for him.

"Ok." Spike said.   Then he started to apply the bandages he had to Trixie's wounds, winding them around, as gently as he could,  the wounded areas.  He started at her head and worked his way down.  "You need to rest.  You'll get better faster that way." Spike said.

"But....Twilight is in danger...." Trixie replied back, still clasping her head to the best of her ability with her front hooves.  The pain in her forehead still hadn't subsided from the strain she had put it through in summoning that rocket from before "Twilight would not be going through that if Trixie was a good fighter....but no...Trixie isn't a good fighter....her power is just still too weak compared to Twilight's power"

Her eyes gazed towards Spike for a moment as she rubbed her own forehead, still wincing from the pain it was giving off "Trixie just can't help but feel that it was her own fault....Trixie shouldn't have let her own guard down, then maybe...just maybe....Trixie would be fighting side by side with Twilight....but then...Trixie would probabally just get in the way...." she sighed a little as she looked to Spike still.

"You just rest and get better." Spike said patting Trixie as he paused in his bandaging her wounds.  "You may be more hurt then you think." Spike said, going back to bandaging her wounds.  "As for not being a good fighter maybe Applejack can teach you some stuff.  She may be a good fighter.  Or I can ask Princess Celestia if one of her guards can teach you, I"m sure they are trained in how to fight and she has some unicorn guards as well as Pegasus." Spike said. "or maybe one of Princess Luna's Guards."

Trixie just fell silent as she let Spike suggest a few things to her, already unaware that her small pounding headache was caused by a wound she had suffered on her forehead.  But as soon as he had finished speaking, she in turn, spoke up "Applejack?" she shook her head slightly "Trixie probabaly wont be good like that, Trixie knows magic best....even if her magic is weak magic...but Spike....he has given Trixie an idea....maybe Princess Luna can teach Trixie a few new spells...." and by that point, her face lit up somewhat "Or, Trixie could head back to the library, she is certain that Twilight would have books that can teach Trixie some proper magic....without destroying the library in the process...."

She then paused for a moment "And that was still an accident, Trixie just did something wrong is all...." she muttered, still ignoring the pounding headache she had in her head, all the while just seeming to chat away as if nothing was actually wrong with her.

Spike nodded, "That is a good idea.  I'm sure Princess Luna would be willing to teach you.  Maybe Princess Celestia also.  Books are a good idea also.  The library at Ponyville or Canterlot may have some stuff you can study also.  But not like an actual teacher." Spike said.  "You just relax.  I'm sure we can give you something for you pain soon as the combat is over." Spike said as soothing as he could as he patted an uninjured part of Trixie's body.

"Yes, because Trixie will be able to teach herself new spells....hopefully....Trixie doesn't want a repeat of what happened last time she tried to learn a new spell" Trixie gulped lightly and in turn, gave off a light, nervous sounding chuckle as she did so only to shake her head, the headache and sore head, finally starting to register on her.

She rubbed her forehead a bit as she winced, before giving off a small yell in pain "Trixie has a bad headache...." she muttered a little, removing her hoof and looked at it.  There was blood on her hoof from where she touched her forehead "Is Trixie's head....bleeding?"

"Only a little.  Let me re bandage that." Spike said, looking over the area to make sure he had bandaged it and to make sure it was properly bandaged.  "Just rest and if we can't get you something for your pain and headache, maybe Twilight can do something or maybe Zecora can mix something together.  She's good at that." Spike said, then after a brief pause, "You're not scared of Zebras or anything are you, since Zecora is a zebra.  Twilight said they are from far away."

"Trixie could've done it herself....if she didn't have a headache, then she would be able to concentrate properly....and use her magic to tend to her own wounds...." Trixie started as she looked to Spike "But....thank you Spike" she then paused as Spike asked about the whole zebra ordeal, only for Trixie to shake her head.

"Trixie isn't afraid of zebras....even if she hasn't seen one before" Trixie replied back, wincing again from the pain in her forehead.

I don't know.. might as well open one and see what it is inside' Nick said.. " You got your switchblade on you? lets open it. we;'ll say they didn't have enough stuff for us.. Chong won't know the difference.."
-
Dixie held her ring steady as she absorbed some of Twilight's energy, the energy coming from her was growing, not at the level of a bahumut or that demon they had fought at the Inglorious Hotel, but still a magic of considerable potency and intensity..
- Keep it Steady Cynder said, as Tigress started absorbing energy as well to lend the others a hand..
Once you've weakened him Twilight, I'll restrain him, and put an end to this.. Stripetail said.

"Glad I could help.  Now you just relax and rest." Spike said, patting her again on an uninjured part of her body.  "You'll be well soon." he said to try and cheer her up.

------

Sara continued to throw a spell and the occasional firebreath at the enemies on the ground and the occasional flying enemy.  

-----

Brooklyn and Gnash, as the, red and blue rangers, worked fighting side by side fighting some earth ponies, knocking one out and knocking another one away. "Looks like they are thinning out quite a bit." Gnash said.

Jason, still as a red zeo/green ranger, used a bit of wind to blow away the earth pony farther.

Dr. Kerzach reached inside his pocket and opened his switchblade. The sharp blade easily sliced through the tape. He opened the box and found what looked like a radio. "Well, this is a lucky discovery," he said with a smile.

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

(Pony Planet - Bridlehem)

Twilight unleashed her full power beam attack, finally dispersing her remaining magical power. The massive beam engulfed the unicorn and tore a hole in the building behind him.

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

Rainbow and Lt. Martin had finished cleaning up the skies. They then flew up to Spitfire.

"So how about that airshow?" Rainbow said with a saucy wink. "I've got some pretty cool tricks I want to show off!"

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

Zachary, Dr. Zanasiu, Captain Carson, Ms. Swimmer, Mr. Bigmouth, Joan and the two rescued soldiers were busy cleaning up.

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

Stripetail's radio buzzed. "Hey, Commander, should we level this part of the city?" Captain Fairchild asked via radio.

The unicorn felt the blast strike him.  He had not expected for a second attack in general to strike him, but one did anyway.  It struck him with full force as he fell down to his front knees again, signifigantly weaker than he was from the first attack that had struck him.

He just stayed there, kneeling all the while, yet, he let off a light sounding chuckle "Impressive Twilight Sparkle....it's a wonder that Princess Celestia had chosen you as her own apprentince" his eyes gazed at the other unicorn "It's a shame you have to be held back all the time by your friends....and your loved one....otherwise, that power of yours....it could be farm more unlimited than what you have shown so far"

He pushed himself back to his feet again again.  Though he was much weaker than he was to begin with, he was still willing to fight still as he allowed for his horn to glow again.

***

"But Trixie can't rest and relax...." Trixie spoke as she started to move again, but winced as she did so "Trixie has to learn more spells now....she has to get better....so that Twilight doesn't always have to rescue her all the time....Trixie can't rest...." she again, winced from her injuries, not wanting to take the advice in resting up.

***

Spitfire glanced to Rainbow "I would imagine we'll be able to get one on soon enough, now that this has been taken care of" she answered her, yet, she herself, glanced down to where Rainbow Dash wass, then back to Rainbow again "I'll be sure to tell you"

The Wonderbolt then flew off down to ground level, landing next to Rainbow Dash and giving her a smile "Hey...how's my girl doing?"

***

Pinkie Pie was now poking her head inside her party cannon, since the battle had finished, as if she was seeing how much ammo there was left in it.

Fluttershy on the other hand, was looking at the dials on the party cannon, in particular, the "Save Fluttershy" dial "Do you have a setting for every scenario on your party cannon Pinkie?" she decided to ask her friend.

"Yup" Pinkie Pie called back, head still in the cannon "Gotta be prepared for anything and everything and not just parties"

"You can't learn new spells or how to fight till you've gotten all better & have rested." Spike said.

---------

Velma, & Brooklyn each put a hand on Gnash's shoulder and he let out with a lighting blast from the power sword while Jason called down some lightning from the sky and Guilmon sent out a Pyrosphere so one group of enemies got hit several times.

----

Sara cast a spell.   Then she did a fly over of an area and breathed fire at it.  The spell's effect was that behind her was a very cold wind that came right after she had passed, exposing the enemy ground troops to first her firely breath then a very cold icy wind after she had past, so both extremes of temperature.
