Author's Note: Greetings, Users! Sorry, I couldn't resist adding in one of my favorite TRON quotes. I apologize for the long wait, please don't kill me for it. My life has been pretty chaotic as of late, leaving me with very little time to write. I'm currently spending basically every free second I have writing the new chapters. Special shout out to Tarnum427 for being the beta reader of this chapter, your feedback really helped improve this chapter. So now, without further ado, I present to you chapter four of Equestria's Human Guardian.

Chapter 4

Location: Dream World.

My dreams started out in darkness. I was floating in a dark void, full of swirling shadows. Suddenly, the shadows attacked me, forcing themselves into my body. They filled me with pain, excruciating pain, uncontrollable pain, the pain of ultimate suffering. I opened my mouth to scream, but my screams were silenced by the darkness. I felt cold. Terror flooded my thoughts. I wanted to die. I heard a cold, cruel, unforgiving laugh in the distance. It seemed to take delight in torturing me.

"It's time to tie up some loose ends." The voice said, still laughing. The voice was sinister, malicious, dreadful, chaotic, fear inspiring, and overflowing with darkness. I cried out in my thoughts for help, for something to save me from this, I felt myself slipping away, when another voice sounded out, a rich, deep voice, overflowing with hope, love, courage, kindness, grace, order, and light.

"THAT'S ENOUGH." The voice thundered.

The darkness fled from me, replaced by light. Light flooded the space, emanating from two gigantic, white, glowing circles. That's when I realized they were EYES. The eyes of a being with power, power enough to chase the darkness away. The eyes focused themselves on me. I gulped, but when I looked into them,I was filled me with peace, and clarity. I felt the pain leaving me, replaced with comfort and warmth. This wasn't a malicious being with cruel intentions, this was someone who cared, who loved, who generated light on a scale hitherto undreamt of.

"I will show you your destiny." The voice said. My feet suddenly touched solid ground. I stood on a grassy platform, floating in the middle of the darkness. The eyes glanced to the side, and I saw a gigantic version of my pendant, but it was different.

The sapphire portion was an undulating ocean, forming massive whirlpools, and waves that crashed against the former onyx lines. The onyx lines had become titanic mountains made of every form of rock, crystal, and metal, separating the sections. The white crystal had become a windstorm of epic proportions, tornadoes, dust devils, hurricanes, and other storms swirling in the mass, lightning blasting from several locations. The red had become a truly terrifying firestorm, the largest I had ever seen, made up of every color of flame you can imagine, with lava and solar flares bursting from it in massive flashes and arcs. Everything was so chaotic, so terrifyingly beautiful.

Then, there was the sword in the center. It was the only place on in the pendant that was calm and serene. The blade was still in its scabbard, but the gemstones in the hilt now had a symbol carved into each one; the black crystals had a mountain carved into the top. The sapphires had a drop of water etched into them. The white crystals had a swirl carved in, and the rubies had a flame chiseled in.

The giant pendant stood in front of a world, as darkness hit it, but was annihilated the second it came into contact with the pendant. No matter where the darkness hit, the pendant appeared there, and destroyed it.

"You are a Guardian of light." The voice said. I turned towards the eyes, looking into them.

"I must take my leave. Farewell, young guardian." The voice proclaimed, as everything faded into nothingness.

Exit Dream World.

Play song: Redwall opening theme

Note: I made up the lyrics

(Short instrumental opening)

(If darkness should ever arise)

Raxtus stands on the edge of a cliff, sword in hand

(The light will grow to match its might)

He leaps off the cliff, shooting towards the ground head first

(Guardians will fight for the light)

Raxtus joins the Mane 6, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor as they fight against a massive giant hidden by shadows

(Protecting everything in sight)

The dark giant stretches out a hand, sending bolts of shadow hurtling towards the eleven beings

(Instrumental solo)

The shadows transform into Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, Tirek, and a horde of demons. The eleven battle against the monsters, but are losing. Sombra is about to kill Raxtus, when Discord looks ashamed, and slams into Sombra.

(No darkness can defeat the light)

A massive golem made of rock, metal, and crystal, a gigantic serpentine leviathan, a humanoid made of whirling winds, and a titanic Phoenix appear, and defeat the horde

An alicorn with mint green robes appears, a staff in hand, as he sends the remaining three villains into a massive void.

(For the light is greater than all of evil's might)

Raxtus envelops himself in a golden flash of light

When it the flash ends, Raxtus is covered in a gleaming suit of gold and white armor

Raxtus raises his sword, and tendrils of light shoot out, forming the words

'Equestria's Human Guardian' with Raxtus' pendant behind it. The screen goes black behind the title, before the title fades away.

P.O.V: Raxtus

I opened my eyes, blinking the sleep from them. I sat up, rubbing the back of my head. That was a really weird dream, weirder than any other I've ever had before. What did the voice mean by naming me a guardian of light? I wasn't a guardian, I was a really buff orphan with no family, and a masters in engineering. I was no guardian.

I pushed aside those thoughts, and checked my duct tape bandages. When I took off one of them, they were all completely healed, only leaving a few scars. I was flabbergasted, to say the least. To my knowledge, wounds like these don't heal overnight. It defied all reason. Then again, I was currently sitting on another world populated by anthropomorphic ponies and dragons. The rules could be different here than on Earth.

I stood up, looking at the horizon. The sun hadn't come up yet. I checked my watch.

"2:30. Right on schedule." I muttered, standing up. Time to train. First up; push-ups. I got into a handstand. Lifting my right arm, I started off with my first set. The push-up portion of my daily training consists of one hundred one armed handstand push-ups, for both arms. My grandpa usually strapped a vest with iron sewed into it onto me, but I forgot to make one out of duct tape and rocks during yesterday's preparations. Then, I do clapping handstand push-ups, two hundred of them.

Sit-ups are next. Three hundred hanging sit-ups. After that, I have my squats, four hundred. After squats, I plank for twenty minutes, and go for a three mile run to watch the sunrise.

If you've done the math, that's three and a half hours to get the first half done. The time limit also helps me work on my memory and agility. It's also the time limit my grandpa always set. The sunrise was breathtaking, watching it come up over the horizon. For a moment, just for the briefest of moments, I felt like I was back home.

I returned to the campsite to finish up with my morning workout, finishing with battling against imaginary opponents with my weapons, and practicing my martial arts forms. Afterwords, I started cooking breakfast. Fortunately, manticore meat doesn't decay quickly. After a few minutes, I pulled the meat from the fire. It wasn't the best tasting thing in the world, but it was pretty tender and very filling.

After that quick breakfast, I decided to sit back and relax for a bit. I opened up my backpack, and started reading Ready Player One. The morning was going well, and I got halfway through the book, before deciding to get some water from the creek.

I had returned to camp, after a very satisfying drink, when an earth shattering roar pierced the quiet and tranquility. I jumped about twelve feet in the air, before climbing up a tree to see what the hell was happening. I looked out towards the town, and saw a massive rocky, draconic creature attacking it.

My eyes jumped out of their sockets. There were various screams from ponies, which made my heart crack. I don't care what they did to me. No matter what, I was going to do what I did best; fight. If I was to be a guardian, I should start somewhere. I grabbed my sword, strapped my tonfa to my belt, snatched my dagger and bo staff, and sprinted toward the town.

Earlier that day in Ponyville…

Spike woke up with a start. He was lying in a hospital bed, covered in several bandages. Spike was wondering how he got here, when he heard somepony sobbing quietly in the corner. Spike sat up, and saw Twilight Sparkle, her head in her hands, bawling her eyes out. Spike cleared his throat, making the purple unicorn's head shoot up to meet his eyes.

"Why the long face?" Spike said weakly, with a smile. Twilight gave a shout of pure joy, and embraced the purple dragon. Spike reciprocated, holding her for a few minutes. Twilight released her hold on him, only for a hysterical Rarity to replace her. She too was shedding great tears of joy. Spike endured hugs from his friends, with tears of joy at his being alright.

After all the years, Twilight walked back up to him, and slapped him. Spike looked at Twilight's furious face, terrified.

"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!" Twilight roared. Spike wilted into the bed, as the other ponies behind the enraged unicorn gasped at her use of language.

"LEAVING THE HOSPITAL WHILE WEAKENED, AND GOING INTO THE WOODS AT NIGHTTIME?!" Twilight continued ranting. Spike tried to hide in the blankets, but they were yanked back by a lavender aura, exposing the adolescent dragon to Twilight's wrath.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU! WHAT THE BUCK POSSESSED YOU TO DO THAT?! DID YOUR RATIONALITY DECIDE TO TAKE A VACATION?!" Twilight screamed, which made Applejack cover the CMC's ears. Spike bristled at this last remark. His rationality said he should go out.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS, BUT CLEARLY I WAS WRONG!" Spike felt shame blossom at those words.

"YOU COULD'VE DIED SPIKE!" Twilight finished, her lip trembling. Spike could see tears beginning to gather in Twilight's eyes, and felt his own tear ducts acting up as well. Twilight was about to continue, when Rainbow Dash covered her mouth.

"I think he gets the point, Twi." Rainbow said calmly, nodding to Spike. Twilight calmed down at the sight of her number one assistant crying, his expression betraying deep shame and remorse.

Twilight felt shame at losing control like this. She was angry, sure, but she felt she should've been able to control it. Twilight hugged Spike gently, brushing away his tears.

"I don't want to lose you." Twilight said. Spike nodded, as Pinkie Pie teared up.

"Awww, that's sweet." The pink party pony said, sniffling.

"What I want to know is why Spike went into the woods in the first place?" Applejack said, stepping up. The others gave their words of assent, looking at Spike expectantly. Spike sighed, and began his tale. He explained how he had gone out in search of Raxtus, and had almost found him, but was attacked by the Timberwolves. This got a great gasp from the assembled ponies, especially Twilight, who looked ready to murder every last timberwolf in the Everfree Forest. Spike then explained how Raxtus had come to his rescue yet again, fighting off the pack of twenty plus predators. Spike finished with passing out, and waking up at the hospital.

This story left the ponies in various states of shock and awe. Not even Big Mac could do what Raxtus had done. Once again, Spike could see some shame on the faces of the Mane 6.

"What did you do to Raxtus this time?" Spike sighed.

"I found him in my boutique, talking to Sweetiebelle." Rarity said.

"Once he saw me, he jumped out the window, breaking it, and then running away to the woods." Rarity explained. Spike stared, half surprised. Raxtus probably felt that he was in danger, and did the natural thing.

Rainbow explained how she had tried to stop Raxtus, and the others told how he hid from them in the barn, escaped, and then broke Applejack's lasso. Applejack was still a bit sore on that subject. Spike looked at the Mane 6, eyes narrowed.

He was about to speak, when a loud trumpet was heard. Everpony looked out Spike's window, and saw a familiar wagon driving up.

"Again?" Twilight said incredulously.

"She's back?" Rarity exclaimed.

"After what happened last time?" Applejack said, wide eyed.

"Waityoucan'tmeanits-" Pinkie started, but was interrupted by Fluttershy.

"I-I-it's Trixie." She said nervously. The CMC looked flabbergasted. Trixie was back?

"Well, what are we waiting for, let's go see what she wants!" Rainbow said, zipping out the door. The others followed, Twilight instructing the CMC to stay with Spike to make sure he stayed in bed.

Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo pouted, but they stayed behind after Twilight gave them her version of Fluttershy's stare.

Twilight and the others caught up to Rainbow Dash, only to find her glaring at the unicorn on the cart stage.

Trixie was once again dressed in her star patterned cloak and pointed wizard hat, but on this occasion, she was wearing robes that looked like the ones worn by Star Swirled the Bearded. They looked pretty cool, and actually went well with her sky blue fur.

Trixie smiled at the sight of the rest of the Mane 6 filing in.

"Excellent! Now Trixie can begin!" She proclaimed to the assembled ponies.

"What is it you want, Trixie?" Twilight sighed. Trixie looked at the purple furred unicorn.

"Trixie wishes to... apologize to everypony." Trixie said, stepping off her stage.

"Huh?" Was the general reaction.

"Trixie is... sorry for what she did last time." The blue furred unicorn said, shamefaced. She walked to the Mane 6 hesitantly.

"Trixie acknowledges that she was inexperienced, boastful, and rude." Trixie said. Twilight was flabbergasted. Was this the same egotistical unicorn that came to Ponyville a few months ago?

"Trixie offers her deepest apologies, and wishes for you to accept it." Trixie finished, bowing her head. Twilight looked at her friends, who looked back. They were all thinking the same thing. Twilight gently pulled the showy unicorn's head up. Trixie saw to her amazement that Twilight was smiling.

"We accept your apology, Trixie." Twilight said. Tears flowed freely down Trixie's face. She smiled, and wiped them away.

"Thank you." Trixie said, smiling broadly. Twilight hugged Trixie. Trixie broke the embrace.

"Trixie did wish to show you all something, to prove Trixie's advancements in magical prowess." The blue furred unicorn's horn glowed, and two objects floated out that made the assembled ponies gasp.

"I-is that a Rockolith scale and claw?" Twilight asked, awe entering her voice. Trixie smiled.

"Trixie has been practicing spells, and trying to be a better magic user." Trixie said proudly.

"Trixie used her new skills to stop a rockolith from ravaging her cart, and took the scale and claw from Trixie's defeated enemy!" Trixie explained excitedly.

"By stop, you mean…" Rainbow asked hesitantly. Trixie modded, her expression becoming grim.

"Yes, Trixie had to… kill the beast, to save her cart and life." Trixie stated. The ponies gasped. Rockoliths were notorious for being incredibly hard to kill. The beasts stood around thirty feet tall, had grayish-rock like scales and skin, and looked like dragons. The differences between the two species being the fact that rockoliths dwelled in cave systems, came to the surface to hunt, couldn't speak, had wider forepaws and sharper claws, typically used for digging, but could be employed to neatly kill small prey, and were bitter enemies of dragons. Rockoliths also stood on their hind legs, hunching over to help balance out their large tails, and jagged back spikes.

"Well Trixie, your spellcasting has improved a lot." Twilight said appreciatively.

"Trixie also wishes to be your apprentice, to better her understanding of magic." Trixie said hesitantly. Twilight was shocked. She never had an apprentice before. Twilight shook herself from her thoughts, and looked into Trixie's eyes.

"I'll have to think about it." She said. Trixie's expression fell.

"But, I'll be happy to call you a friend." Twilight finished. Trixie had absolute joy etched into her face.

"Really?" She whispered, not believing her luck.

"Yes, Trixie." The purple unicorn reaffirmed. Trixie was about to say something, when an ear splitting roar cut through the air. The assembled ponies stared at the woods, terrified. A massive rockolith suddenly burst out of the ground in front of the ponies.

"Impossible." Trixie whispered. "Trixie killed you!"

Twilight zeroed in on the missing claw on the megalith monster's hind foot.

The monster suddenly spotted Trixie and charged her. The ponies scattered, screaming as Rainbow Dash pulled the petrified unicorn away from the creature. The rockolith let out a roar of disapproval.

Trixie looked up at her cyan furred rescuer.

"Why did you save Trixie?" She asked confused. Rainbow set Trixie down at Twilight's Library.

"Any friend of Twilight's is a friend of mine." Rainbow said determination present in her demeanor. The two stared at the rockolith, watching as a massive beam of violet energy struck it, followed by a blue one. Rainbow looked back at the titanic beast.

"I have to go help my friends, Trixie." Rainbow said, as she took off. Trixie watched the cyan furred pegasus zip off towards the rockolith. She felt tears come to her eyes, and leaned back against the tree roots, sobbing. Why couldn't she do anything right? Why couldn't this have gone smoothly? Trixie felt like a failure. It seemed like no matter where she went, mayhem and destruction followed. Trixie remembered her first time in Ponyville, how she had humiliated the Mane 6, and then herself. Trixie remembered the hatred she felt, the desire to get even with the Mane 6. That desire would've consumed her, had it not been for an old pony she met. Trixie allowed herself to get wrapped up in the memory.

Flashback… WARNING: contains rape scene

Trixie was starving. She was out of bits, and was cowering at the sight of the five stallions that had cornered her.

"Looks like we got ourselves a new toy tonight, boys." the middle one said drunkenly. Trixie could smell the alcohol on the stallions. The stench brutally invaded her nostrils. It was like the stallions bathed in the stuff before coming out. The third stallion guffawed.

"Sure do, Spar." he said, hiccuping slightly. "We'll have a lot of fun with this one, right boys?" the other three gave their drunken consent, and began to converge on the unicorn. Trixie tried to summon her magic, but the last few days without food had taken their toll on her. Trixie couldn't even make a feather levitate. The first stallion that had spoken suddenly shot forward, grabbing on to her arms. Trixie struggled, vainly trying to free her arms, but the stallion held her tightly. Two other stallions grabbed her legs and covered her mouth, as the last two produced two switchblades.

The two with switchblades then cut off Trixie's clothing, letting it fall to the floor, as they examined the unicorn mare. They threw Trixie to the ground, and started getting undressed themselves. Trixie opened her mouth to scream for help, but it was stuffed with a massive cock from the stallion who held her in place. Trixie gagged at the sudden intrusion, the stallion grabbing her head, and forcing his monster prostrate all the way down Trixie's throat. Trixie whimpered as she felt two more intrusions from behind, as two more stallions forced themselves into her pussy and ass.

"Sweet Equis above, this bitch is tight!" one of them exclaimed, slapping her butt. Trixie uncontrollably moaned at the sudden action. She felt her chest being groped, and saw the two other stallions roughly kneading her massive DD orbs. Trixie moaned even further, as the two in the back began to speed up. The stallion fucking her throat did the same, moaning in ecstasy.

"That's right bitch, moan for us." He said, thrusting himself deeper inside of Trixie. A few minutes later, they grunted, and Trixie was filled with their seed. Her stomach bulged from the immense quantity that was shot in her. Trixie drank down the rest of the cum spraying into her mouth, as the stallions pulled out of her. Trixie gasped for air, letting the blessed gas flow into her lungs. Trixie then saw that the stallions were still hard, staring at her hungrily.

"We're not done yet bitch." the lead stallion said, aiming his massive cock at her pussy. Trixie tried to protest, but they were once again muffled by not one, but two more long, thick dicks. Trixie felt them pushing down into her, each one taking turns with her throat. Trixie then felt two more entries, one in ehr ass, the other in her already stuffed pussy.

Trixie screamed at all the sudden intrusions, the pain making her black out. Trixie still felt them having their way with her, even in an unconscious state. Then, it stopped. Trixie heard scuffling, and her body being lifted by gentle hands.

Rape Scene end

Trixie finally woke up, in a soft bed. Confused, the unicorn sat up, viewing her surroundings, before dropping back to the bed in pain. She was inside a small one room shack. Her nether regions burned, her throat felt like it had swallowed broken glass. Trixie felt like her stomach was three sizes too big, even though her midsection was back to its original size.

"I was wondering when you would awake." an old voice said. It was rich and harmonious, but ancient and full of secrets. Trixie turned, and saw an old stallion tending a pot that hung over a roaring fire. The stallion had mint green fur, a forest green mane and tail, and wore old, patched up clothing. He grabbed a bowl, filled it with something from the pot, and walked over to Trixie. Trixie shied away from the stallion, terrified at what he would do to her. The stallion smiled warmly.

"Here, this will help with the pain." he said calmly, handing Trixie the bowl. Trixie stared at the stew in front of her. The broth was orange in color and had a myriad of vegetables floating in it. Trixie began gobbling up the meal, not stopping until every last drop of the stew was gone. She licked her lips appreciatively, savoring the feeling of a full stomach. The old stallion was right, the pain she felt in her throat and nether regions was subsiding. Trixie turned and saw the old stallion take her empty bowl away. He turned, grabbed a small kettle, and hung it over the fire. He then walked back over to the bedridden mare.

Trixie didn't jerk away from him this time. The old stallion reached under the blankets, and gently pressed his hand against her stomach.

"Well, my medicine seems to be working its magic." he said, turning back to the now whistling kettle. He fiddled with it for a few moments, and returned to Trixie's bedside with a warm cup of tea.

"Drink up. This will heal your throat, and allow you to speak after what happened to you." He said gently. Trixie hesitantly accepted the cup, and took a tentative sip. Instantly, Trixie's taste buds sang out in ecstasy. The tea wasn't thin like she expected, instead of being thin and having an herbal flavor, it was thick, and tasted like chocolate, mint, raspberries, oranges, and a vast selection of soothing herbs and spices. Trixie drank the rest of the tea, letting her taste buds revel in the flavors.

Trixie finished with a small belch. She felt rejuvenated and whole, a feeling she hadn't felt in years.

"Thank you." Trixie said graciously, as the kind stallion whisked her cup away.

"You're welcome, my dear." The stallion replied. Trixie felt herself relax at the stallion's words. It wasn't so much what he said, but the way he said it. His voice was so trusting, so old, so full of wisdom. It made Trixie want to listen to anything the stallion had to say, and follow it.

"So, you ran away after being humiliated." the stallion said. Trixie instantly went on the defensive. The stallion chuckled at her expression.

"When you've lived as long as I have, you tend to be able to read ponies like a book." He said in response. The stallion walked over to Trixie, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Now, tell me, why were you humiliated?" He asked. Trixie felt her lower lip tremble, as the story poured out. She had finished ranting about revenge, when she looked back at the old stallion. He was looking at her, sadness etched into every wrinkle on his wizened face.

"It doesn't sound like they were the ones who did that to you." He said calmly.

"Yes, they did!" Trixie protested. The old stallion held his hand up, silencing Trixie.

"You were the one who strolled into their town, boasted about your skills, and then humiliated those 5." He stared calmly. The words hit Trixie like a bag of bricks.

"What really happened, from what I've gathered, is that you couldn't handle the challenge you spoke of, and in trying to prove you could, you were the one who humiliated yourself." The stallion said bluntly. Trixie felt tears come to her eyes. Try as she might, Trixie could no longer deny the truth, not when this old stallion could see it plainly. The blue furred unicorn finally let the tears flow, letting all the pent up rage and anger turn into sadness and shame. Trixie felt her self pressing into another body, one that was strong, and comforting, like a father. She felt strong arms encircle her, pulling her into somepony's lap, and rocking her gently, like one would do to a small, frightened foal. Trixie opened her eyes, and saw the old stallion doing just that, holding her close like her father used to do, until… the accident. Simply the thought of this brought a new flood of tears, as she remembered her father. The old stallion simply held her close, until Trixie's sobs subsided.

He gently wiped away the tears, and smiled at her.

"You're simply misguided." he said gently. "I'll bet if you went back and sincerely apologized, that they would forgive you." The old stallion said. Trixie sniffed, staring into the stallion's eyes. They held nothing but truth, trust, and something Trixie hadn't seen in a long time; love.

"You really think so?" Trixie asked hesitantly. The stallion smiled warmly.

"I know so. Twilight Sparkle and her friends are the Bearers of Harmony, which are the elements of true friendship. They wouldn't hold a grudge against anypony if they truly felt remorseful of their actions."

Trixie didn't have Applejack's lie detector ability, but even she could hear and believe the truth in the aged stallion's words.

"And, a bit of magic practice wouldn't hurt." the stallion said, his eyes twinkling, as he stood up.

"What do you mean?" Trixie asked hesitantly watching the arcane stallion sift through a crate.

"Well, if you're better at magic, instead of boasting about false accomplishments, you'll be able to actually prove what you did." The stallion explained, dusting off an arcane tome.

"This tome used to belong to a dear friend of mine. It contains step by step incantations, illustrations of the steps, descriptions of spell usage, and a myriad of other things." he said, handing the thick book to Trixie. The book was made of ancient parchment, the pages a bit yellowed. The cover was made of thick, strong leather, reinforced by a silvery metal, with beautiful swirls, and runic designs on the covers and spine. Trixie held it reverently, staring at it in disbelief. She looked back up at the aged stallion who had been so kind to her.

"Why are you giving me this? Why are you being so kind to a stranger?" Trixie asked. The stallion smiled at her, sitting down.

"I've lived a long life, and seen many, many things, but they all stem from Light and Darkness. I devoted my life to fighting that darkness, by creating light." the old stallion said. He began to change before Trixie's eyes, growing taller, and stronger. His patched, old clothing transformed into elegant robes of every shade, hue, and tint of green. His body changed as well, becoming younger, and stronger. Trixie could see rippling slabs of muscle, even through his thick robes. A staff appeared in the stallion's hand, topped with a green crystal with clock faces carved into every surface on the crystal. The wrinkles on his face simply fell away, but a few still remained. Wings appeared on his back, and a green horn materialized on his forehead. When the transformation was done, the stallion looked like Equestria's biggest, buffest, kindest alicorn grandfather. He placed a hand on Trixie's shoulder. He still looked old, but he now matched the strength his words and voice now carried.

"There are many ways to fight the darkness, and creating light is one of them. I create light through service, and kind actions, even if they're small, they still create light. And light is precious, in a world so full of darkness." The stallion said, as the shack began to disappear into a blinding whiteness. The stallion was walking away, but Trixie had more questions.

"Wait!" she cried out. The stallion stopped and turned around. "Who are you?" she asked in awe. The alicorn smiled warmly.

"My name is Counter Clock. Remember Trixie, in the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of true strength. Follow your heart, you have a good one." The alicorn said, as he vanished into the whiteness.

Trixie's eyes suddenly shot open. She was still in the alley where the stallions raped her, but her clothes had been mended, her stomach was full of the meal she had, and she was holding onto the tome that Counter Clock had given her. His last words echoed in her mind.

'In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of true strength. Follow your heart, you have a good one.'

End Flashback…

Trixie had tears in her eyes, as she remembered Counter Clock's kind words and actions. Trixie pulled the old book out from her costume, staring at the cover. She had practiced and perfected the spells from it, and took on the rockolith, no problem. She thought she had killed it. Trixie looked at the spell in the book again, and then she realized her mistake. She had simply put it to sleep, instead of killing it. Trixie stood back up, her horn igniting. This was her mess she had to clean up. Without another word, Trixie charged towards the rockolith, determined to stop it.

Rainbow was exhausted. The rockolith wasn't as slow, or as stupid as she had originally thought. It was anticipating her moves, forcing the rainbow maned pegasus to perform tight, dizzying maneuvers that were pushing her to her aerobatic limits. Twilight and Rarity's spells weren't doing anything, except annoying the stone behemoth. The rockolith continued its rampage, the efforts of the three ponies being only meager distractions.

Rainbow charged at its face again, but the rockolith slammed its hand into her side, hard. Rainbow felt the right side of her body explode in fiery pain, followed by several sharp snaps. The talented aviator fell towards the ground, screaming in pain.

"Rainbow!" Rarity cried, trying to muster the magic to create a cushion, but it was no use. Both unicorns were exhausted beyond belief, barely able to perform any spells at all. Twilight and Rarity watched in horror as their friend hurtled towards the ground.

"NO!" cried a voice, as a pink beam of magic caught the cyan furred pegasus, gently setting her down away from the rockolith. A second beam slammed into the monster's face, making it stumble backwards. Rarity looked around for the source of the beam, and saw a familiar blue unicorn glaring at the rockolith.

"Nopony hurts Trixie's friends, without paying for it!" Trixie roared, sending seven magic orbs at the rockolith. They collided with the rock-like growths on its hide, exploding in dazzling flashes of light. The rockolith roared, enraged. Trixie stood her ground, sending a rapid fire torrent of pink magic lasers. (Author's Note: For reference, look up a video of Master Roshi battling an alternate dimension Frieza) The rockolith raised its arms up to block the barrage, but the force toppled it, making it fall over onto its back. It roared in pain, enraged that it was toppled by such a tiny creature it could crush with its big toe.

Trixie ran over to Rainbow, her horn still glowing. Rainbow Dash was in a terrible state. She lay on her side in fetal position, moaning in pain, as tears cascaded down her face. Her left wing, arm and hoof were bent at unnatural angles, her wing even had a bone poking through the skin.

"Rainbow, this is going to hurt, but you have to trust Trixie." She said. Rainbow simply nodded, the only action she was capable of at the moment. Trixie took off her cape, and levitated a few broken pieces of rebar from one of the broken buildings.

Trixie ripped off parts of her cape, and placed her hands on Rainbow's wing. The blue unicorn then pushed, eliciting screams, shouts, and death threats from the rainbow maned Pegasus. Trixie had pushed the bone back in, and was currently securing it, when a massive shadow came over the two. Trixie looked up and saw the rockolith's hands shooting towards her. She conjured up a shield at the last second, making the hands bounce off. Trixie winced, as she felt her magic straining to keep the shield up. The rockolith slammed down on the shield several more times, still not breaking it. Sweat dripped down Trixie's face, the force of the blows nearly making her black out. The rockolith then turned, and slammed its tail on the shield, finally making it break. Trixie was sent flying, completely knocked out.

Twilight ran over to try and help the blue furred unicorn, but was slapped away by a scaly, rocky tail. Twilight felt her ribs break from the force, even more so as she flew into a pile of rubble. Twilight watched, helpless, as the monster raised its foot to end her new friend.

"Hey, leave them alone!" A male voice roared. Twilight saw a long, thin object fly up, and stab into the rockolith's right eye. The monster roared in pain, jerking its head back. A second object stabbed into its neck, embedding itself deeply, as a figure flew up, slamming into the rockolith's face. The rockolith staggered backward, thrashing as the figure held on to its face. The figure swung over to the left side of the rockolith's face, stabbing at its eye. The left eye erupted in a waterfall of blood, as the rockolith cried out in pain, slamming its hands at its face, scrabbling to get a hold on the figure. The figure was too quick, and leaped towards the ground, pulling the weapons embedded in the rockolith free.

It landed on the ground, running over to Rainbow. Twilight saw who it was, and tears came to her eyes. Raxtus had come, even after everything that happened, he still came to defend the ponies against the rockolith. Raxtus finished stabilizing Rainbow, and then ran over to Twilight.

Raxtus was all business, never speaking as he worked, pushing up Twilight's shirt and vest, skillfully creating a brace for her broken ribs. Despite the pain, Twilight shivered at Raxtus' touch. Heat season was in four days, and Twilight's was beginning to kick in a little early.

Every morning now, the purple furred unicorn would wake up to sheets soaked in her juices, having been consumed by dreams of stallions bucking her into oblivion.

Twilight could see the muscles that ripples beneath Raxtus' poorly stitched clothing. She imagined him picking her up, and ramming himself into her, pleasuring her until she was a drooling mess.

"Does it hurt anymore?" Raxtus' voice cut through Twilight's train of thought. She looked into his silver eyes, eyes full of concern. Twilight could still feel pain in her ribs, but it wasn't nearly as bad as before.

"Yes, but it's not as bad." Twilight said softly. Raxtus looked around, looking for something.

"You should be able to walk now, just don't put too much stress on the brace, okay?" Raxtus said, helping Twilight to her hooves. Twilight nodded, unable to form coherent sentences, her mind filled with dirty images of her and Raxtus bucking 'til dawn.

"Get to safety." Raxtus commanded, staring back at the rockolith, which was now getting back up. Twilight instantly knew what he was thinking.

"You can't fight that!" She protested "You'll die!" Raxtus sighed at Twilight's remark.

"I have to, no one else here has the ability to end that." Raxtus said grimly.

He ran and picked up Trixie, before running to the town.

"Get to safety, I'll be right back!" Raxtus called out. Twilight stared at his receding back. She shakily walked over to Rainbow, who was being supported by Rarity. Twilight hooked her arms underneath Rainbow's legs, and lifted her up, prompting Rarity to shift her hold, and grasp Twilight's hands, forming the Friendship Carry. The two unicorns moved towards the hospital as quickly as they could, just as the now blind rockolith stumbled to its feet. It let out a roar of rage, pain, and anger, and began to stomp blindly towards the rest of the town. Twilight was terrified. Even blind, rockoliths were still dangerous, and could still perceive objects really well, thanks to their acute senses of smell and hearing. Twilight prayed that Raxtus would be alright.

P.O.V shift: Raxtus

I set the blue furred unicorn down in one of the chairs of the hospital's waiting room, just as one of the doctors came out. He stared at me, jaw open. I picked the unicorn back up, and raced over to him.

"She has a major concussion, and I'm pretty sure some of her bones are dislocated." I explained. The doctor's face suddenly turned serious.

"Set her in the room on the right, number 14, and I'll attend to her." The doctor said, as I raced off. I left the unicorn on the hospital bed, after making sure she was comfortable, and sprinted out to face the rocky behemoth.

Cue theme music: "Resistance" by Skillet

The monster was back on its feet, and I was satisfied to see that I was successful in blinding it. The monster stopped, sniffed, and roared as it caught my scent.

"Bring it on, stonehead!" I roared, charging the monster once again. It swung its left arm down, slamming against the ground. I sprang to the side, stabbing my left Kunai into its hand. The monster roared, pulling its hand back, and unraveling one of my chains.

'Phase one complete, on to phase two.' I thought, sliding under the monster's sweeping tail. My chains can reach a maximum of a hundred feet, so I was pretty safe on chain length. I leaped up, stabbing my right Kunai into the back of the monster's right knee, eliciting more roars of pain. It tried to grab me, but I deftly flipped over the creature's enormous right hand, sprinting around the monster's left leg, wrapping my right chain around its left ankle.

I jumped forward, letting my chains reach their maximum length. I pulled on my left chain with every ounce of my strength, pulling the monster's left arm towards me. It roared in outrage, as I sprinted underneath its legs, wrapping both my chains around its tail, and using my right chain to pull myself out from underneath the monster, forcing it to spin around, becoming more and more entangled in my trap. I pulled as hard as I could, my trap activating. The monster's left arm strained to pull itself up (I was praying the barbs on my Kunai would hold it in place), yanking its tail forward, which in turn pulled its right leg out, throwing it off balance. I slipped out of my jacket, as the monster topped onto its back, roaring and straining against its bonds, its right arm trapped underneath it.

I smiled in satisfaction, and whipped out my dagger to finish it off. I climbed up the monster, stabbing my dagger into its exposed underbelly. The monster roared, straining further as I continued to stab it, severing arteries, as shown by the spurts of blood. The monster roared in outrage, as my left Kunai finally came loose, the recoil unit finally doing its thing, undoing all my hard work.

The monster's claw stabbed downwards into my midsection, the end coming out of my stomach, narrowly missing my reproductive anatomy. I roared in pain, almost blacking out from it. I slammed my dagger into the monster's hand, making it lift me up, still attached to its claw. The monster flung me off its claw, sending me flying into the buildings. I felt my bones shatter, as I became a living cannonball. The pain became too much for my mind to process, and I blacked out.

P.O.V shift: third person

Twilight stared in shock as Raxtus battled the rockolith. After she and Rarity got Rainbow to the hospital, Doctor Whooves cast a spell on Twilight, which was basically a magic cast that held the broken parts of her ribs together, so they could heal faster. Twilight ran back out to find Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack watching the battle from a safe distance.

"Is he crazy?!" Applejack exclaimed, watching Raxtus charge the rockolith.

"I think he knows what he's doing, AJ." Rarity said, never taking her eyes off of the nimble figure. They watched as Raxtus was doing seemingly nothing to stop the rockolith, rather than be a distraction, until the rockolith fell. Twilight's eyes widened as she finally made sense of Raxtus' jumping and running.

"He was creating a snare!" The purple furred unicorn exclaimed excitedly. Then, Fluttershy let out a cry.

"No!" The others watched, horrified as the rockolith impaled Raxtus and tossed him into the nearby structures, watching helplessly as they collapsed on him. The rockolith roared in triumph, and began moving back towards the buildings, determined to crush them.

"It's up to us, girls." Twilight said shakily. The other four looked at the bearer of magic like she had transformed into a Diamond Dog.

"Against that thing?" Rarity said incredulously.

"We won't even make a dent in that thing!" Applejack protested.

"My Pinkie Sense is telling me the same thing Twi!" Pinkie stated, her mane waving crazily of its own accord.

"And, rockoliths are immune to my Stare." Fluttershy added uncomfortably. Twilight looked at her friends, her confidence sinking. They were right. It would take an army of ponies to defeat a rockolith.

A purple and green blur suddenly shot between the five mares. Twilight saw, to her horror, that Spike had once again escaped from the hospital, and had enlisted the help of a teenage pegasus colt, with ocean blue fur and a red mane with white stripes, to help him fight the rockolith.

"Spike, stop!" Twilight cried. Spike paid no heed to her words, as he roared at the rockolith. The rockolith recognized it instantly as the roar of its species greatest enemy; a dragon.

"Drop me now!" Spike said. The pegasus complied, dropping Spike on the rockolith's head. Spike began clawing and biting at it, ignoring the pain in his body. The pegasus slammed his back legs into the rockolith's nose, then darting away before the rockolith could catch him. The duo continued their onslaught, until the rockolith slammed its hands on Spike, ignoring the Pegasus colt. Spike felt his bones snap, making him roar in pain. The teenage dragon lost his grip, falling to the ground.

"Spike!" The pegasus cried, shooting towards his falling friend. The rockolith backhanded both, slamming them into the ground. Twilight sprinted to her fallen friend, fearing the worst. She reached the two, as the rockolith let out a roar of triumph, and raised its foot to crush the group. Twilight felt the shadow fall over them, knowing this would be her last breath.

"Oh no you don't!" Roared a familiar voice. Something crashed against the rockolith, making it stagger back. Twilight looked and saw a sight that filled her with both relief, and abject terror; a bloody, bruised, and very pissed off Raxtus. Blood cascaded from the new impromptu chest piercing he gained. Part of his chest had collapsed inward, making him look lopsided. His expression was so fierce, it would've made Nightmare Moon run back to the moon.

"Alright, no more games." Raxtus snarled, pulling a massive sword out of its scabbard. Twilight gasped at the blade. It was taller than Raxtus, and looked impossible to even carry, but Raxtus held it, and got into a fighting stance. The rockolith roared at him, outraged its aggressor wasn't dead.

"It's time to go all out!" Raxtus roared.

Play theme: "Unstoppable" by The Score

Raxtus let loose a bone chilling war cry, and charged the rockolith, his massive sword trailing behind him. The rockolith charged at him as well. Raxtus suddenly whirled around, slicing his sword through the rockolith's left ankle, nearly severing it. The rockolith cried out in pain, as Raxtus did the same to its other foot.

The massive monster fell on its back, one of its front claws catching on Raxtus' pants, flinging him upward. Raxtus was launched into the air, his vision consisting of the sky and ground alternating positions. Raxtus flailed his arms, trying to control his flight, as he plunged downwards. He grabbed onto his sword, just as he saw his destination; the rockolith's open mouth.

'Oh shit, I'm gonna die!' Raxtus mentally screamed. Then, an idea came to his mind, a crazy, insane, and completely cracked, but it was the only plan he had. Raxtus pointed his sword in front of him, making himself more aerodynamic.

'God, if you're really there, please make this work.' Was Raxtus' last thought before shooting into the monster's mouth.

Twilight watched, horrified, as Raxtus plunged into the rockolith's mouth. The rockolith's jaws closed, as it flipped itself over with its powerful arms. It suddenly gagged and convulsed, as blood sprayed from a piercing from the underside of its neck. The beast collapsed, it's breath coming in ragged gasps, convulsing and jerking around, before its eyes went glassy, and it lay still.

Twilight stared at the fallen monolith, waiting for some sign of Raxtus. None came. She felt tears come to her eyes, not responding to the hoofsteps behind her.

"Twi! Twi, what happened?" Applejack called, skidding to a stop next to the purple furred unicorn. She gasped at seeing Spike and the pegasus colt's broken bodies shallowly breathing.

"We've got to get these two over to the hospital faster than a cow on a skateboard slidin' down a hill covered in axle grease!" The country mare exclaimed, reaching down to grab Spike.

"Applejack, NO!" Twilight burst out, swatting the orange furred pony's hand away. Applejack glared at Twilight.

"You'll only make their condition worse!" Twilight explained, standing up. "Go bring Doctor Whooves over here instead, he can treat them better than anypony here." Applejack nodded, and sprinted off as fast as she could. Twilight stared at the corpse of the rockolith, letting despair overtake her. She dropped to her knees, and started crying. She never got to apologize to Raxtus, and he went and saved them all, at the cost of his own life. Twilight suddenly felt a comforting hand wrap around her.

"I-it's alright, D-darling." Rarity stuttered before breaking down. Applejack suddenly reappeared with Doctor Whooves, who instantly shot into action. The rest of the Mane 6 walked up, as did most of the town population to stare at the fallen megalith.

"There, stabilized." Doctor Whooves said, standing up. The two were enveloped in an aura from one of the other doctors, and whisked back to the hospital. Twilight turned to leave, when Pinkie Pie stopped her, turning her around. The side of the corpse was moving. Everypony assembled gasped, staggering back. The ponies readied themselves for battle, expecting the rockolith to attack. Instead, a massive sword blade stabbed through the carcass, from the inside. The townsponies assembled stared open mouthed and wide eyed, as Raxtus staggered out of the corpse of the rockolith. He was covered from head to foot in saliva, blood, and a brownish green liquid. He stared at the ponies, breathing hard.

"That… was disgusting, on so many levels." Raxtus finally said, shuddering. He shook his arms, shaking off some of the fluids.

"Is everyone alright?" He asked. The townsponies simply kept staring at him.

"I'll take that as a yes." Raxtus said between breaths. He walked over to where his jacket had fallen, picked it up, dusted it off, and then proceeded to drop to his knees. Doctor Whooves, and the Mane 6 rushed to catch him.

"Oh sure, now my body decides to give out." Raxtus grumbled, his voice slurring slightly.

"Dooon't touch my ssstuffff whiiillle I'm oouuutt." Raxtus said, before he finally passed out. Doctor Whooves looked at Twilight.

"Can you teleport us to the hospital?" He asked urgently, the worry lines on his forehead deepening. Twilight grimaced. Even the smallest bit of magic would be too much of a strain on her body.

"I'll do it, doctor." Rarity said. Twilight looked at her fashionista friend hesitantly.

"Are you sure?" Rarity nodded her head determinedly.

"Yes." Rarity affirmed, as her horn glowed. The eight bodies instantly appeared at the waiting room, where the nurses already had a gurney waiting.

"Get him to room 15, STAT!" Doctor Whooves commanded. The nurses complied, loading Raxtus onto the gurney, and then speeding him off to the room. Doctor Whooves sprinted after them, calling for various materials. The doors slammed shut, cutting off all noise from beyond. Twilight sat down heavily, next to a worried pegasus mare. She had a cherry red mane and tail with white streaks and bright orange fur. She wore a tight teal tank top, which stopped at her midsection, due to how big her chest was, tight red bike shorts, and had a silver and gold ring on her left hand. The mare looked up at Twilight as she sat down.

"Who are you here for?" Twilight asked. The mare sniffled.

"My son. He went out to try and stop the rockolith." the mare replied, a few tears appearing in her eyes. Twilight's eyebrows crept together, as she put two and two together.

"Did he have ocean blue fur, and a mane like yours?" Twilight asked. The mare looked at Twilight astonished.

"YES! How did you know that was my little Aero?" the mare exclaimed, grabbing onto Twilight's shoulders.

"Aero dropped Spike on top of the rockolith, and then distracted it while Spike tried to kill it." Twilight explained. The mare sniffled, as a trembling smile came to her face.

"He always did take after his father." She whispered, before breaking down into a series of uncontrollable sobs. Twilight pulled the mare close, feeling tears drip down her own cheeks.

"I do hope my dear Spikey Wikey is alright." Rarity said, her voice trembling.

The ponies shed tears with each other, and Twilight found out that the pegasus mare was a widow. Her husband was a member of the Canterlot Elite Aerial Rescue Squad, and had died during a rescue. He got the injured ponies out, but at the cost of his own life. The conversations went on for a good hour.

The doors to the rooms burst open, and Doctor Whooves stepped out. His scrubs had a few splotches of blood decorating the front. An ugly navy blue hoof shaped bruise adorned the left side of his face. He looked exhausted, and was smiling weakly. He approached the group of mares. They stared at the doctor expectantly.

"Good news, Spike and Aero are both fine." the mares jumped for joy. Rarity, Twilight, and the orange pegasus mare enveloped Doctor Whooves in a massive group hug, babbling out long sentences of gratitude, tears of joy cascading down their faces.

"What about my sister?" a small voice inquired. Doctor Whooves disentangled himself from the grateful mares, and saw the CMC. Scootaloo was staring at him with concern and hope written all over her face.

"Miss Dash is fine, though a bit cranky that she has to spend the next few months abstaining from any flying, at least until our bone healer recovers from that cold." Doctor Whooves explained, gesturing to the bruise on his face. Scootaloo nodded, understanding.

"What about Raxtus?" Applebloom asked hesitantly. Doctor Whooves looked a bit uneasy. He now had the attention of six mares, and three fillies, which wasn't exactly a good thing, especially when five of the six mares were the Bearers of Harmony, the sixth was a master at aerial combat, the three fillies had puppy dog eyes that would make anypony obey their every command, and all of them could destroy his flank without any trouble.

"I'll have to check back with Doctor Silkhand, she's the one operating on him right now." Doctor Whooves said nervously. Ever hear the phrase 'Speak of the devil and he shall appear'? Well, that's exactly what happened. Doctor Silkhand walked through the doors, ripping off her surgical mask and hairnet, revealing a yellow horn. She had deep yellow fur, a pure white mane, and sea green eyes. She had to wear special scrubs, due to her exceptionally large chest. Doctor Silkhand looked at Doctor Whooves, and nodded at him. Doctor Whooves nodded back grimly, placed his surgical mask back on, and motioned for her to stay with the group of nine.

"How is Raxtus doing?" Sweetiebelle asked warily. Doctor Silkhand sighed.

"He took a lot of punishment from the battle with the rockolith. He has a large number of pieces of broken metal from the rubble embedded in his body, several broken bones, a concussion we don't have a name for, a fractured skull, and is suffering from near fatal blood loss. Not to mention parts of his skin and vital organs were eaten away by the beast's gastric acids, and his impalement from the monster's claw." Doctor Silkhand explained in a grave, and somewhat annoyed voice. The ponies stared at her in shock.

"Will he be okay?" Fluttershy asked.

"It's hard to tell. We're currently working on removing the metal, which will take quite a bit of time. After that, we'll have to work around the clock regrowing all the missing gaps in his bones. Once that's done we'll have to replace all of his blood in a massive transfusion, and monitor him 24/7 to make sure his body is accepting the new blood. Then he'll be okay, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong." Doctor Silkhand said, knocking on the wooden armrest of one of the chairs.

"Can I see my son, Silky?" Doctor Silkhand turned to look at the pegasus mare.

"Sure thing, Fira. He's in room 16." Silkhand opened the door, allowing the newly christened Fira to walk through.

"Spike and Rainbow Dash are also in the same room, Miss Sparkle. They're all awake, and I do believe they want to see you all." Silkhand said. Twilight and the others shot through the doors, catching up to Fira in a matter of seconds.

"Is your name really Fira?" Scootaloo asked. Fira looked down at the teenage filly.

"No, it's just what everypony calls me. My real name is Firebolt, Firebolt Swiftwing." Fira said. The nine ponies arrived at the door, and stepped inside to find Spike and Aero happily chatting about various comics, while Rainbow read a Daring Doo book. All looked up at the ponies that entered, sheepish and relieved expressions crossing their faces.

Spike had a cast on everywhere except his head and right arm. His face was puffy, and had numerous bandages over the left side of it, but he was still smiling all the same. Aero was a little better. His parts of his wings, his left arm, both legs, and part of his chest were in casts. Rainbow Dash had the entire left side of her body in a body cast, which extended to encompass her torso, neck, and half of her right leg.

Fira burst into tears, and ran over to embrace her son. Aero grunted, and wheezed, but managed to give his worried mother a one armed hug. Spike chuckled, but did the same as Twilight, Rarity, Applebloom, and Sweetiebelle basically smothered him with hugs. Rainbow was laughing at the two, but soon knew what they were feeling when Scootaloo slammed into her adoptive sister, shedding tears of joy as she squeezed her tightly. The orange filly was then joined by Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. The hugs finally ended, leaving the three ponies gasping for air.

"Aero Swiftwing, if you ever pull a stunt like that again… " Fira let that threat hang in the air, making the fifteen year old colt gulp.

"WHAT IN FUCKING EQUIS' NAME WOULD MAKE YOU DO THIS AGAIN, SPIKE?!" Twilight roared, making the sixteen year old dragon attempt to shrink into his bandages.

"I don't like being profane Spike, but even ladies have limits so… WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" Rarity suddenly burst out, making everypony jump.

Twilight and Fira then proceeded to flay the two teens with enough words to make a mentally deranged homicidal ax murderer feel remorse.

"... AND JUST WAIT UNTIL WE GET HOME, THEN THE REAL PUNISHMENT BEGINS!" Twilight shouted, a predatory grin creeping onto her face.

"We're not close to being done." Fira said deviously.

Spike and Aero shared a look of pure terror at what their guardians had in store as punishments.

"I'm just glad you're safe." Fira said, calming down.

"Yeah, all thanks to Raxtus." Aero said. Fira looked at her son quizzically, as did the other ponies in the room.

"What do you mean 'all thanks to Raxtus'? Who is Raxtus?" Fira asked. Spike explained the events that had happened, much to both Fira and Aero's amazement.

'Well, I'll have to… reward this Raxtus.' Fira thought, smirking. 'I wonder if he's good in bed… surely he must be with all that muscle.' Fira then rushed to the bathroom, after a hasty excuse. She locked the door to the single room bathroom, yanking off her shorts and panties to revealing a dripping marehood.

'Oh FUCK!' Fira mentally scremed as she shoved three fingers inside her cunt. 'Heat Season is only a few days away, and I have to score that stallion!' The orange furred pegasus mare then filled the bathroom with orgasmic screams of delight, imagining Raxtus pounding her sweet, MILF pussy into oblivion.

Author's Note: Another chapter finished. We got to see Raxtus truly fight, and trust me, figuring out the technical stuff in that battle was a pain in the backside. Twilight let her "Mother Anger" appear, we have a few new characters I have big plans for, and on top of all that, Raxtus will have to deal with the dreaded HEAT SEASON when he finishes recovering. Once again, special thanks to Tarnum427 for being a beta reader for this chapter, and thanks to OmegaDecion, Bladewolf101, UltraNova1225, and a great many others for reading this story, and giving me a reason to continue writing. The rockolith came from the mind of Manx1musofsparta, who is currently designing new creatures for my stories. Just to clarify, Fira is NOT related to Scootaloo in any way, shape, or form, just making that clear now. Also, thank you Sonic3461 for writing the Equestria's Human Spirit story, it was what inspired me to write this one. If you guys have any ideas for future chapters, you can send them to me via a PM, and I'll me sure to get back to you as quickly as I can. This is Imagineer379 signing off.
