"Says the baby dragon that hasn't even been injured" Trixie muttered back a bit underneath her breath, feeling a bit annoyed as it was by what Spike was telling her "But....Spike does seem to have a point....Trixie....she will rest and try and get better before she does anything else" she added in, hoping that Spike would buy her little lie.

'Because the first thing Trixie is going to do when she gets to the library is find a spell book and learn a new spell' Trixie added on in her thoughts.

"Level it " Stripetail said iinto the radio, then turned it off,stepped forward and drew out his staff, 'Its time we end this" He said giving the unicorn a stare. " Get Twilight out of here' He said to the others. ' I'll deal with this one..
_ We'll head out then Kiara said relieved to be allowed to go back to join Kovu back at the ship, and to get the armor off..
_ Hopefully we can send out a distress call, Stripetail has a walkie talkie you, think you could try and tune the frequency so we get on that frequency? Nick said.

The unicorn just seemed to just smirk slightly at Stripetail's words "I agree....it is indeed, time to end this right now....only one of us will survive...." he started, his horn starting to glow again, despite himself being signifigantly weaker than what he was at the start of the battle.

(ooc: But I take it that he's going to be caputured still, and not killed right? Also....there's nothing else to fight either, this unicorn is the last of the attackers)

"What do we do now? Looks like the fight's over." The blue said.

"We leave. We came here since we were needed here. Once we are no longer needed Power rangers leave." The Red Zeo/green mmp ranger said. They summoned their flying motorcycles.

"To bad." The Blue said. "I'd like to stay here a bit longer."

"That's how things are." The mmpr red ranger said.

"Maybe for the best." The orange ranger said.

Once their flying motorcycles came, flying in at a fast speed, Jason and the others jumped up and landed on their flying cycles and took off at full speed, since they were no longer needed. They zoomed off, returning to the tardis where it was secretly hidden.

"I need to finish putting in that transmat, though I do like using these, transmating around would be much faster." The Red Zeo/green mmp ranger said.

They got off of their cycles, then unmorphed.

"I would miss the cycles." Gnash said.

"You're not the only one." Brooklyn said.

(yes he will be captured..)
Stripetail shook his head " Young unicorn, you are no match for me, not even close..I have dealt with creatures who so far outstrip you in power as to render you insignificant..and I have bested them" stripetail's eyes narrowed and his left paw began to glow..
The rest of Stripetail's team headed back.. towards the Spire of Winter.. relieved greatly to have rescued the captives and dealt a blow to the slave trade on this planet..

MrDrake · **Reply #845 on:** May 06, 2012, 02:46:22 AM

"We shall see...." the unicorn replied back, still as calm as ever as his eyes gazed at Stripetail's glowing hand, while his horn continued to glow still. Yet, as he did just that, he started to breathe a bit more heavilly, his weakened state starting to now take its toll on himself.

***

Trixie just sat down where she was, still doing her best to ignore the pounding headache she had....well, that was until she heard a roar in the distance. Well, at least she thought she did as she let off a scream and quickly jumped behind Spike for protection.

Her head popped out from behind Spike as she gulped lightly "Trixie....she is hearing things, she thought she heard a roar from....an Ursa Minor..." and again, she thought she heard a roar and ducked behind Spike again.

"Trixie must have hit her head harder than she thought...." Trixie added in as she gulped again "That....and Ursa Minors....they scare Trixie....especially after when that one Ursa Minor attacked Ponyville and destroyed Trixie's home....but then Twilight took care of it...." she sighed in content "Trixie just doesn't want to have to face another one.....since she is took weak to even vanquish one...."

Nick22 · **Reply #846 on:** May 06, 2012, 01:05:10 PM

since I'm a stickler for rules, you may start us off.. I'm formal that way, and considering that you are weaker than you were before, and that even at full strength you wouldn't be a match for me I'll let you take the first shot. I suggest you make it count, because I will not let you have another..' Stripetail said.

Kor · **Reply #847 on:** May 06, 2012, 05:19:56 PM

Spike looked around. "I don't see anything. Maybe its a strong wind high up, or some explosions far off. There's lots of explosions, including that cool huge one that red whoever it was did. And all the cool dragon fire." Spike said. "But I don't see anything that looks like an Ursa Minor or Major." He looked around again. "Maybe its one of those, planes I think they call themselves. They are pretty loud when they fly, not like a Pegasus or dragon flying. They make a roaring sort of sound. No idea why they are so loud when they fly."

Pinkie Pie soon pulled her head out of the party cannon before seeming to just grab onto it and put it "away".

"Uh, where did you put that?" Riley asked the pink pony.

"My hammerspace arsenal, duh" Pinkie Pie replied back as she started to bound off, only for Fluttershy to take off after her.

"Wait Pinkie!" Fluttershy called out to her friend, stopping in front of her.

"Yes Fluttershy?" Pinkie Pie asked back with a smile upon her face, that normal, big grin of hers.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for ignoring you for most of the day, it's just that when you kissed me, I didn't know what to do! I panicked, and I just didn't want to talk to you, because I was only trying to figure out what to do for myself" Fluttershy replied back to Pinkie Pie as she sighed lightly.

"Sooo...." Pinkie added in, urging for Fluttershy to keep on going with what she was saying.

"Don't rush me Pinkie...." Fluttershy replied back with an annoyed sort of tone, sighing in annoyance again before she quickly gave Pinkie a small, light kiss upon the lips.

Pinkie in turn, just giggle at that before she smiled to Fluttershy "See? Wasn't so hard was it?"

***

Trixie nodded to Spike a little, glancing towards the sky at the living planes before she winced again from her pain in her head "Spike is probabally right, Trixie....she must be going insane...." she joked a little.

***

The unicorn narrowed his eyes at Stripetail slightly "You still seem to underestimate my own powers, I was able to hold my ground against a powered Twilight, without needing to use my full power myself....I am not to be taken lightly, even in my weakened state....once I take care of you, Trixie shall be next...after all, I can't allow for her to get away for helping out Twilight Sparkle in weakening me as such....but very well then, if you insist that I make a move...."

And in turn, his horn continued to glow, the aura of it turning black, the area around the two of them turning to darkness, shadows of ponies starting to rise up from the ground along with a shadow of what seemed to be a dragon "Take this creatue down...." he ordered, and in turn, the shadows lunged at Stripetail.

Kor · **Reply #849 on:** May 07, 2012, 04:37:42 PM

Spike shook his head. "not going insane. Have you met the planes, or seen them flying? If not then you may not know the noise they make while flying around. It may have to do with how they fly, like trains make a lot of noise." Spike said. "I wonder if any body has anything you can take for your pain." Spike said looking around to see if any doctor or nurse looking types that he could see.

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

Sara looked around from where she was in the sky. "It looks like everything is clear, except for the wizard's duel, if that is what it is." She said, meaning Stripetail and the unicorn, in the dark area.

Nick22 · **Reply #850 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:10:48 PM

stripetrail shook his head as a shield of white light appeared around him. ' you have never faced a magician of my caliber, Twilights powers are nothing compared to mine. you have made your movem and now i will respond. ' rewpellum he commanded as the lunging shadows were deflected back gretius magnum' stripetail roared and the area was filled with a bright, blinding light.. when the light faded the shadows had gone leaving only hi and thew unicorn left.. "did you really think defeating me would be THAt easy? Stripetail said stepping towards him..

Rainbow, Lt. Martin and Captain Fairchild all flew over the complex, dropping their load of bombs. Explosions pocked the area as several tons of high explosives dealt a major blow to the black market of this planet.

"See ya at the airshow, Spitfire!" Rainbow called. She and the three other planes sped off back to the Spire of Winter.

"All right, let's blow this joint!" Captain Carson said. She hopped in her dune buggy and sped off. Rainbow Dash and Applejack jumped in just as it began moving.

"Yeah! We kicked some flank today!" Rainbow Dash crowed.

"We sure did, ah don't think those miscreants'll dare mess with us again," Applejack replied.

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

"Spike! Trixie! Fluttershy! Pinkie Pie! We're leaving!" Twilight called from one of the repulsorsleds. Mr. Bigmouth helped carry the injured soldier aboard. Zachary had started the sled's engine.

Ms. Swimmer went up to Trixie. "Trixie, I can carry you if you need it.

MrDrake · **Reply #852 on:** May 08, 2012, 04:35:41 AM

Trixie shook her head "No, Trixie is fine...she'll manage...." she replied back as she turned and headed onto the repulsorsled that Twilight was on. She took a seat next to her and looked to Twilight "Trixie is still sorry...." she muttered a little "If Trixie wasn't so weak....she would've been able to help out Twilight...."

***

Pinkie Pie just smiled to Fluttershy "See? That wasn't so hard, now was it?" she asked and bounded off.

Fluttershy just gave a bit of a hefty sigh at what Pinkie Pie had just said as she turned and followed her onto another repulsorsled.

***

"Riley, let's get going, if they're going to level this place, best we not stay in the vicinity either....and that is an order too" Jackson told Riley.

Riley just nodded back as she jumped onto one herself.

Jackson on the other hand, glanced to where Stripetail was and just stood there for a moment before he too joined the team and jumped onto a repulsorsled too.

***

"Hey, Dash" Spitfire started "Just a quick update, we will be preforming an airshow with the flying aliens there at some point, and of course.....I would like it if you join us as well....sort of, I suppose you could call it, preforming side by side with me....like a co-captain I guess would be the title I was after" she spoke to Rainbow Dash and headed for a repulsorsled as well.

The other Wonderbolts on the other hand, had already left the area.

***

The unicorn just stood his ground "Very well, if that is what you wish to brag on about....then I do invite you to show me" he spoke, seeming to not be scared in the least bit himself.

Kor · **Reply #853 on:** May 08, 2012, 12:01:00 PM

"Looks like everyone else is pulling out or getting ready to." Sara said, watching what the others were doing.

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

"Are you sure it's safe for Trixie to move around or be moved?" Spike asked. "Don't think of yourself as weak, but not use to doing a lot of fighting. I'm sure Twilight can teach you, and books, as well a some of Princess Celestia and Luna's unicorn guards." Spike said.

Nick22 · **Reply #854 on:** May 08, 2012, 12:31:08 PM

I don't brag , young unicorn, that is a show of arrogance, which i try to avoid whenever possible. i'm not going to kill you,but you are going to tell us what you have been doing, and how the authorities on this planet can shut your trade down..' stripetail said and gestured v' rewstarum morus! magical tendrils appeared and wrapped them around the unicorn binding him hoof and all. if you struggle against these bionds they will drain your magic away..

MrDrake · **Reply #855 on:** May 09, 2012, 05:10:43 AM

"Shame too, and here I was hoping that you would show me what you are really capable of doing. If you say that you could easily kill me, then I do wonder why you do not just go ahead and finish the job. But, might I enquire as to why you would be lead to believe that I would just simply tell you as to what it is I have been doing? I do understand that my own life would be on the line regardless, but what I do wish to enquire in regards to that as to why I would just simply tell you. It seems to be, as others would say, a rather long stetch....a rather dull threat, if you ask me" the unicorn replied back, not even bothering to struggle at all.

"So please, do enlighten me as to why I should tell you" he added in, still remaining calm, still not fighting back as his eyes gazed at Stripetail all the while.

Nick22 · **Reply #856 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:50:04 AM

because killing you would not serve my purposes ' Stripetail replied. ; i only kill when i have no alternative, as for why you will tell me, well it is a matter of compelling you to do so. not by force, necessarily, but by reason. of course, every creature is different, and thusly i must adjust my strategy as needed. you have obviously been involved in the slave trade, given that you are here among the slavers, how long you have been doing it, i cannot say for certain, but i would imagine you are not new to the trade. your comment about twilight indicates that you see her as a rival, or at least a benchmark for your abilities. you want to prove your power, not only to others, but also to yourself.' stripetail gestured. 'i believe that, given enough incentive, you could actually turn out to be a useful ally. everyone has a price, whether it is power, money, respect, or authority. the question we will have to answer is, what is your price?" he added to the unicorn.'for now, you are coming with me' he gestured again and lifted the unicorn off the ground.

MrDrake · **Reply #857 on:** May 09, 2012, 05:15:44 PM

"We shall see about that. But I suppose I can offer you something in return, based upon what you have just told me. If you are able to, as you put it, give me an incentive, then I will indeed, help you out in whatever it is that you require" the unicorn spoke back, still acting rather calm all the while. But whether or not he could be trusted was another story altogether.

"By the way, we should be getting formalities out of the way, if we are to be speaking to one another for a while" he added in "I can't very well have you going around calling me unicorn, now can I? So if you must know, my name....is Blackheart. It is based upon my own special talent after all....working with black magic"

His eyes gazed around for a moment, then back towards Stripetail again "And to enlighten you upon said special talent, all ponies here have one....and I shall use Twilight Sparkle as an example. Her special talent is magic, hence what her cutie mark looks like. My special talent is a specific form of magic, black magic. Hence why my own cutie mark is similar to that of Twilight Sparkle's, however, my one is still somewhat different, as it does reflect my knowledge on black magic"

And that's when he had an idea as he glanced to Stripetail still "Now, back to the subject of incentives, I do believe I have one for you to give to me, and in return, I will become an ally. If you are able to help myself advance my study of black magic greatly....then I will indeed, be willing to help out in whatever quest you and your group are on. Enough power to far outrank Twilight Sparkle....for starters anyway"

Serris · **Reply #858 on:** May 09, 2012, 07:04:51 PM

Rainbow Dash smiled. "Yeah! I would love it! You oughta see what Rainbow can do! She's actually as fast as I am!"

"Okay you two, let's wait until we get back to Ponyville," Captain Carson said.

When Stripetail and his captive boarded the last repulsorsled, Mr. Bigmouth accelerated.

Soon, a long convoy of repulsorsleds and dune buggies were on the road out of Bridlehem and back to Ponyville

Nick22 · **Reply #859 on:** May 09, 2012, 07:36:22 PM

Ah, we shall see about that. Blackheart is it? wellk since you have told me your name I shall tell you mine Lord stripetail, at your service ' he said as he magically carried blackheart onboard the sled. " back to the ship! he said to the others.. "We will discuss any potential dealmaking there. but don't assume you can try and, as the humans say it, 'pull a fast one'. trust in these matters must be earned,and i am not particulasrly fond of the black arts although differenmt worlds define what is black magic differently, so we will have to see what you have in mind..
