Amphyla felt the change in air pressure and saw the clouds darken and rush over the portion of town she saw Talmuh rush to. "Oh no..." she muttered letting the arrow loose into the newly arrived Fallen's head before turning to the horses that stood behind her talking in whatever language.

Looking to the rainbow maned one she grabbed the sword at it's feet immediately getting it's attention as it growled something. "Okay look I need to go there" she said pointing towards the clouds which started thundering grabbing the other pony's attention. The mare looked at her confused and started to take flight, but the rouge stopped her. Letting out a sigh annoyed at the communication gap. Pointing towards herself she then pointed towards the clouds, the mare nodded slowly, a confused look still on her face. The rouge then offered the sword to the Pegasus waiting for her to take it between her teeth before pointing at her and pointing to the ground.

The purple unicorn walked over and attempted to communicate but the rouge shrugged and tried to show that she was going to help Talmuh. The unicorn nodded prompting a relieved sigh from the rouge before turning and rushing towards where Talmuh had gone.

"Well this is going to be interesting" Kraizer said watching the bipedal creature disappear before taking the club from the ground where he had dropped it. Fluttershy gave him a worried look, but he simply smiled, or tried, with the large piece of wood in his mouth he couldn't move many muscles in his face without almost dropping it. "Well it seems we're going to have to defend ourselves until they all return" The unicorn he herd was called Twilight say.

"Well maybe ya' could use y'ur magic to create barriers ta keep them little beats out?" AppleJack asked. "Well with all the destroyed houses and..." The unicorn shivered "Corpses... we could but then how would the others get back?" The orange pony sighed knowing her friend was right. "Well why not jus' block up all the other openings besides the ones that they left from?"

Rainbow Dash chuckled making the farm pony shoot her a look. "What are you afraid?" she said amused. "Yes I am!" AppleJack almost shouted. "If'n those thin's catch us we're as good as dead! I don't ev'n know how mah family's doin'!" Tears now falling from her eyes. "An' I don' hear yall comin' up wit anythin'!" she said finally looking around at her friends.
Fluttershy shivered at her voice which had elevated to a yell. The others stayed silent looking at her.

Lar'zak reached down and poked the unconscious druid, expecting some kind of response, but to his dismay there was none. A sigh escaped him as he looked around for any threat before sheathing his weapons and throwing the unconscious human over his shoulder. "By the Ancients..." he muttered under his breath as the started back towards the opening of town. An arrow flew past him imbedding itself in a post not far from his position.

"What do you think you're doing?" A female voice rang out. The barbarian turned to see a rouge who had already knocked another arrow and was pointing it right at him. "Put him down now!"

Lar'zak rolled his eyes with a sigh. Letting the man fall from his shoulder, he drew his blades and prepared for a fight. Another arrow flew from the longbow only for the barbarian to duck underneath it and rush the woman in an attempt to catch her before she had the chance to knock another one. Much to his surprise though, there was another arrow on the string before he could reach her. The arrow flew aimed for his eye, moving just in time the arrow planted itself in his shoulder causing a grunt as it hit only slightly hindering his rush. Before she had the chance to reach another arrow though the barbarian was upon her, tacking her to the ground and knocking the bow from her hands.

VenoIngis pressed against her throat, the sword glowed with a hunger for more flesh. "Rouges are powerful from a distance, but are weak in hand to hand" Lar'zak laughed about to draw her throat open with his blade, but a sound behind him caught his attention.

"Wait" Talmuh wheezed from the ground still exhausted. Lar'zak looked back at the druid who had saved him a few minutes ago with an angry glare. "She... she's not your enemy" he managed to say. The barbarian looked back down at the woman he had pinned a similar glare painted on her face. "What's it to you?" Larzak said back at the druid.

"She's my companion" he said, still breathing heavily. "Think of it as repayment... for saving you" he said after the barbarian gave him an uncaring look. "Fine." he said knowing his honor dictated as such. Lar'zak stepping up off the woman. "You try anything else and your corpse will join the number" he warned before breaking the arrow shaft and throwing it down next to her.

Amphyla glared at the barbarian's back as he made his way back to the fallen druid before rolling up and grabbing her bow. 'Just try it buddy' she thought, debating whether to put an arrow in the back of his skull. Her better judgment stopped her, but she still glared at him before following over to check on her friend.

Talmuh smiled at her as she arrived and knelt by him. "Glad to see you're alright" he said. "He's uninjured but he won't be able to move for at least another hour" Amphyla said looking up at the barbarian behind her. "We'll have to move him back to where the ponies are"

Lar'zak sighed and grabbed the human throwing him up on his shoulder. "Fine, but you'd better be able to keep up" he said noticing the silence as the unnatural clouds continue their downpour over the area, "No doubt that attracted the wrong kind of attention".

Krazier and Rainbow Dash had taken to killing the attacking demons and undead as Twilight and AppleJack tried to think of a plan.

"We could always move into one of the houses?" Twilight offered pointing to one of the less destroyed cottages. "Waht good would that do us?" The farmpony intervened. "If'n the demons attack in a hoard, we'd be trapped!"

Fluttershy was off to the side crying with Pinkie attempting to console her. "It's alright Fluttershy! We're going to get out of this alright" she said trying to cheer the pegasus up. "W-what about Rarity?" she said between sobs "We don't even know where she is. "Twilight said she left Spike at the library but we don't even know how safe that is!"

A growl escaped Rainbow dash as she cut off another of the fallen's heads and the ones behind it fled en mass. Krazier was having an equally difficult time with the undead ponies that had taken to attack from the north. 'We're going to be overrun if we don't get out of here...' He thought crushing the dead pony's head. Flying back towards the group he landed and spat the club out. "Girls!" he shouted gaining their attention. "We need to go. Rainbow and I can't keep this up forever, and the enemies won't stop coming."

A sigh escaped Twilight as she nodded. "We need to find our other friends too" "Well how do you suppose we get out?" AppleJack interjected. "Well..." Twilight started "I can teleport us onto the roofs so that we're out of reach and can start moving, but..." she stopped rubbing her head. "Waht is it Sugarcube?" AppleJack asked expectantly. "Well my Magic has been acting oddly ever since this has all started happening, so I don't know if I can or how well it will work" she said, an apologetic look on her face.

"Well not like there's any other options besides Rainbow and I carrying you up there" Kraizer said. Not a few seconds later an panting Rainbow dash landed next to them dropping the sword from her mouth. "What's... Going on?" she said in between breaths.

"Just give me a second" Twilight said, trying to focus on teleporting over by Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. "We're trying to figure a way out of here" Kraizer said to Rainbow. "Well you guys better hurry, this is getting to be exhausting" she said grabbing her sword and flying back over to the group of red demons who had started coming back. In a flash of electricity, Twilight disappeared, reappearing over by a surprised Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Her hair frizzed up and surging with electricity.

"Oh my gosh! Are you alright Twilight?" Pinkie Pie asked as she jumped up next to her. "I think so" she said after shaking her head to get her senses back. "Ah see what you mean by your magics actin' up!" AppleJack said. "Is ev'rythin alright?" "Yes, it just messes up your hair from what I can tell" Twilight said with a huff.

The other mares chuckle, but stop as they hear Krazier. "Hey ladies, I hope I'm not interrupting a moment, but these zombies are going to kill us pretty soon if you don't hurry up!" he yells behind him. "Alright! Rainbow, Krazier, come here!" The pegasi in question fly, panting heavily. Twilight closes her eyes and concentrates before there's a flash of light and they all disappear with a bolt of electricity appearing a few seconds later on the roof of a house behind them.

"Well... That was different" Krazier said stumbling around a bit before shaking his head. "alright we might as well get going". "Wait!" Fluttershy said, "What's going on down there?"

They all looked down to see the bodies of the red demons that Rainbow Dash had killed all getting up and moving again. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" The mare in question yelled before taking flight again, but before she could get very far AppleJack grabbed onto her tail. "It ain't worth it' Sugarcube!" she said. Kraizer noticed another slightly larger red demon right behind the now reanimated demons.

Quickly to avoid the same set of teeth as Rainbow, he jumped off the edge of the house and flew quietly over to the one next to the larger red demon. Making sure to avoid the large yellow horns he jumped down slowing his decent slightly only to come down and crush the demon's skull. As the demon fell, it's smaller brethren looked up at the pegasus flying right above the ground and then at the demon who had been raising them and their still fallen comrades up then proceeded to scatter. The pegasus made quick work of one or two of them on his way back up to the roof.

"Well" he said between breaths grabbing the club from his mouth. "that's enough of that." The others smiled and congratulated him besides Rainbow Dash who gave a sarcastic "good job" under her breath. "Well c'mon guys" Rainbow said a few seconds later, "we'd best get going and find Rarity and Spike" "Yea!" they all said unanimously except Kraizer who just looked back at the carnage below them. "Alright! Follow me!" Rainbow said jumping to the next building.

"Kraizer?" Fluttershy asked wondering what was going on with her friend. "Is something wrong?" The stallion turned around to the mare and shook his head, "Something about this seemed familiar." he said before motioning to follow the rest.

Lar'zak and Amphyla had managed to get most of the way back to the ponies, but with major resistance. Lar'zak had to use his last few Rancid poison potions. Before being forced to pull his swords and have Talmuh hang on with his arms, much to Amphyla's dismay. As the duo sliced through the demons, Talmuh had finally gained enough strength to let go of the barbarian, and walk again.

"Hold on a second" Talmuh told the two of them right before they were about to start killing more demons that were around corner. He pulled out a rather large blue bottle and greedily drained the contents before replacing it in his pouch. His strength quickly returned to him as his skin and fur armor he wore started cracking and light shone through encompassing his body until it was covered in light. He grew three times his size into a large werebear. "Alright lets go" he said, his voice much deeper.

The three of them rush out surprising the demons the large werebear taking the lead killing most of the demons allowing Lar'zak and Amphyla who was now sitting on her companion's shoulder to pick off the survivors.

A few moments later

After the onslaught the trio now breathing heavier took a small break. The druid took out a piece of bread from his pouch and split it into three pieces. Handing one to each of his comrades and taking the last for himself. Lar'zak took a bite from his bread before pulling out a small piece of manticore meat wrapped in what looked like an animal bladder or stomach. Taking a bite from the meat he looked back at the carnage the three of them wrought and a chuckle escaped him.

"What's so funny?" an honestly curious Amphyla asked looking at him with a puzzled expression. "If it weren't for the fact that some of his minions are in the enemies ranks, I'd say we were minions of Destruction!" he said laughing. The other two looked on him with worry etched into their faces but continued to eat. The barbarian quickly took out a small knife he used for butchering and other food and cut the piece of bread in half before putting the meat in between the pieces before continuing his meal.
