answer to random quize question numah 2. Rastlin is a red robed mage from the dragon lance series, he's ungodly powerful and is an undisputed master of magic, there was even a book specifically dedicated to him and included his quest for godhood.
*disclaimer* I realised that I forgot to put this in, I don't own My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, nor do I have any association with it or it's producers, same goes for any songs used or mentioned throught this story.
anywho here we go!
"WE SHOULD PUT THEM IN THIER PLACE!" Applejack screemed in the meeting.
"we're not soldiers, and the Princess has set up boarder patrols along the Everfree Forest!" the mayor replied.
All of the ponies in ponyville were at a meeting in what remained of town hall, several of the ponies needed to have living arangedments set up until the destroyed houses were rebuilt,
well that's what the meeting was SUPPOSED to be about, but the ponies took it as an opportunity to vent their anger and frustrations towards the nightmares.
a senseless babble filled the room as the ponies argued on, screeming for justice, others demanding that they take ther wounded and leave.
all of the fillies and colts however were over in a nother section of the main hall, secluded from the screeming and swearing, Cheerilie did her best to keep the foals entertained, she was sitting in a wheel chair with her hind leg bandaged, but many other ponies were also swaddled up in bandages, some in what was left of the hospital.
Scootaloo was arguing with Applebloom over in the corner, "she was protecting me!" the yellow fillie shouted at her friend.
"oh sure, that's why you were bleeding on the ground! 'I' saved you! would it kill ya to show a little appreciation?" Scootaloo retorted.
Applebloom leered at the pegasus "UGH! FORGET IT!" the earth pony stomped off leaving a seething Scootaloo behind; what was wrong with that stupid farm fillie? Hilda's the bad guy here! her and all those ugly green things!
Scootaloo grumbled to herself while Sweetiebell shifted her eye sight between her two friends, wondering how long it would be until the CMC fell apart.

Fluttershy had just finished setting up a little 'supprise' for Spitfire, now she just needed to lie in wait...
Spitfire was trotting along as she drew closer and closer to the trap, but then she heard a voice calling from behind, "oh hey Derpy! how are you?" she asked as the grey pegasus caught up to her.
"i'm great! so what'cha doin'?" the ditzy mare asked.
"oh nothing much, well, I'm looking for Rainobw Dash..." she trailed off. Spitfire hadn't seen the blue pegasus since she awoke from the infirmery, it was almost as if the cyan mare was avoiding her... which put Spitfire in a state of distress, she needed to know how Rainobw felt about the kiss they shared.
Derpy responded with a 'huh' as the two pegasi continued on along a stretch of cloud which sported some construction going on, suddenly one of the beams slipped and a cinder block came raining down.
"OH! I almost forgot something" Spitfire exclaimed before turning to head back, this caused her companion to turn her head back in curiosity when BAM! the block crashed and cracked over Derpy's head causing her eyes to spiral around as little birdies flew around her head before she passed out.
Fluttershy hoof faced herself, so much for fool proof...
later in the day, Fluttershy was in the kitchen whipping up a meal for the soldiers, she new this one had to work, a simple poisoning of food, she looked out into the cafeteria to see her Dashie slurping up her meal until Spitfire walked over.
Fluttershy crushed her teeth on the ladle in her mouth until the wood snaped, a snarl escaped her lips as she glared at the evil pony, one of the other cooks tapped her shoulder.
"um.. you ok?" Fluttershy whipped her head around at them with 'the stare' and they high tailed it out of the kitchen.
Rainbow was eating peacefully when she felt a tap on her shoulder, she looked to see Spitfire, making her eyes widen as she quickly turned back to her food and practically inhaled it.
"I'M DONE!" and zoom! off she went to the training grounds, not even giving Spitfire a chance to speak.
"uh..." the Wonderbolt sighed before drepressedly drudging herself over to the kitchen stand.
Fluttershy met her with a fake smile and pulled out a pull, pouring a mixtrure into it, "here you go!~" she sang out cheerfully, handing her mortal enemy a bolw of soup.
Spitfire mumbled out a thanks and sat back down at one of the tables as Derpy landed next to her with her own bowl.
"*sigh*..." Spitfire drowned out as she used a spoon to play with the soup, meanwhile, Derpy devoured her own.
"you gonna eat that?" the grey mare asked pointing to Spitfire's soup.
"go ahead" Spitfire replied as she nudged the bowl over to Derpy, she didn't really feel like eating fright now.
"do ya think... maybe I should just let her come to me when she's ready?" Spitfire asked to no one in particular as she stared at the ceiling, not noticing when Derpy clutched her own throat in panic and began spasming.
"hmm... I just don't know... aw, I can't think like this" Spitfire got up and headed out towards the training area as Derpy fell off the bench onto the ground seizuring.
Fluttershy looked out the kitchen window to see Derpy having a heart attack "OH NO!" she flew through the window and picked up Derpy's head in panic before quickly slipping an herbal mixture down her throat which caused the grey mare to puke out the poison.
"BREATH!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she began smacking the ditzy pegasus left and right until Derpy gasped for sweet air.
"oh thank Celestia..." Fluttershy fell on her rump while rubbing some sweat off her brow with a 'phew!' it was then that she noticed all the eyes on her and the recently returned to the living pegasus.
"um... alergic reaction?" she said with a sheepish smile before quickly zipping out of the cafeteria into the cloud yard leaving a half dead Derpy behind.
Rainbow was staring over the edge of the military could camp, looking down at Canterlot with empty eyes. How was she going to explain this to Fluttershy? and how... what was she supposed to say to Spitfire? her idol! the leader of the Wonderbolts! but...
"ARRRGGH!" she ruffled her forehooves through her mane in frustration, this was all just too much...
"well!" the cyan pegasus heard from behind her to see one of the bullies from her child hood land a few feet from where she was resting.
"if it aint Rainbow CRASH!" PLOMP! the pegasus soon found his head in the clouds... literaly, Fluttershy was standing ontop of his head which was burried in the cloud floor of the camp.
'NOPONY INSULTS MY DASHIE!' Fluttershy thought angrily as she stared down at the suffocating pegasus.
"hey Dashie!~" the yellow mare sang out pleasantly to a concerned Rainbow.
"uh... I think your killing h-" Dash was cut off as a loud commanding shout sonded throughout the camp, grabbing the attention of all the pegasi.
"ATTTEEEEEEENHAUT! FORM RANKS!" the sergent yelled out as all the pegasi rushed to file up infront of her.
"RIGHT! CELESTIA HAS ORDERED THE DEBRIEVING OF A WARBAND AMONG THE THREE ARMIES! WE'RE GOING TO WAR!"
several of the pegasi mumbled amongst themselves with concerned and confused looks
"SILENCE!" all of the ponies did so.
"MANY OF YOU AREN'T EVEN HALF WAY THROUGH YOUR TRAINING, BUT THAT DON'T MEAN APPLESEEDS NOW! THE ENEMY IS LARGE IN NUMBER AND WE NEED EVERY SOLDIER WE GOT, SO CONGRADULATIONS, YOU'RE NOW SUN GUARDIANS, AND MEDICS!"
some ponies began bouncing with joy, others were extremely upset, not ready for a true battle, and others were still trying to get over the 'going to war' part.
"AN ENEMY KINGDOME HAS MADE AN ATTACK ON EQUESTRIAN SOIL! A BAND OF BARBARIAN RAIDERS RANSACKED PONYVILLE, KILLING CIVILIANS AND RAIZING HALF THE TOWN TO ASHES!"
almost everypony gasped, and Fluttershy and Rainbow in particular felt their hearts stop, what about thier friends? were they ok? were they even alive?
"ARE WE JUST GONNA LET THAT GO?"
everypony screemed at the top of thier lungs "BUCK NO!"
"THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR! HEAD TO ARMORY AND SUIT UP! MEDICS GRAB SURGICAL AND FIRST AID EQUIPMENT AND STAFF MEMBERS GATHER CAMP EQUIPMENT, GO GO GO!"
all of hte pegasi rushed in a frantic frenzy to gather everything they needed.

Twilight burst into the magic training room with bits of lightning surging randomly out from her body, she was enraged beyond belief, all of the unicorns satred at her in fear.
"EVERYPONY GET YOUR SPELL BOOKS, RUNES, AND SCROLLS, WE'RE GOING TO WAR!" she shouted with a stomp on the ground that summond a burst of fire making all the war magi jump.
Twilight had never been to filled with malice and blood lust, those demons had burned her home, killed her firends! she could feel negative energy flowling throughout her mind, mingling wth her horn as she sifted trhough all the war magic in her mind,
particualarly Rastlin's spells, it was time to see just how true the legends of his choatic and destructive magic really were.

Rainbow kept tripping over herself as she struggled to get her platemail on, but in the end, she needed to ask somepony to help her, first was the padded cloth vest, followed by a thick layer of leather armor, followed by a suit of chain mail, and finally, golden plates of steel specially fitted to her body.
Once she was suited up, she rushed to the weapons rack and pulled out a twin claymore, holding the middle handle in her maw with a blade sticking out of either end, she looked at herself in the mirror as she finishe the suit with her helmet, the golded steel wrapping snugly around her skull with the false mane jutting along the back of the head.
"... epic..." she wished she had a camera to capture this moment for further admiration, but right now she needed to head off with the other pegasi, their armor shining in the sky, the lighter shade of yellow symols of the sun on the breastplate, labled proudly as the sun guardians flew through the air following the sergents and the head general.
Fluttershy was struggling to fly carrying all of her medical supplies, she wondered idly how much blood she was going to see, it's not that it bothered her at all, in fact she was very used to seeing severely injured animals all the time, and the few cases when she mended ponies.
Rainbow looked around at the formation of pegasi soaring through the air and searched hard for Fluttershy amongst the medics, but after giving up from all the ponies in her way, she looked back ahead of her to see at the very front of the sun guardians... Celestia? no way... it was!
Celestia herself was leading the sun guardian army! Rainobw's eyes widened in shock, who exactly were they fighting? who had attacked her home? once again the dread filled her stomach at wondering if her friends were ok...
When Rainbow looked down, she noticed a herd of unicorns sprinting underneath the pegasi, many of them swaddled up in mage robes.

at sun down, all three armies had begun setting up camp on the edge of the giant meadow between Ponyville and the Everfree Forest.
Tents began pitching, lugage unloading, and Earth Warriors, Sun Guardians, and War Magi all scurried around chaotically setting up the battle camp.
Rainbow Dashe pranced through the camp searching for Fluttershy, but instead she found Twilight.
"TWILIGHT! YOU'RE ALIVE!" she tackled the mage to the ground hugging her tightly.
"what about everyone else!? are they ok?" she finished.
"don't worry, everypony's fine... well... in our circle of friends... but... there were a lot of ponies that didn't make it..." Twilight looked down in meloncholy.
Rainbow bit her lip, not knowing how to respond to this. "oh don't listen to me, we've got enough to worry about right now" Twilight said finally.
Rainbow nodded with a smile "right." before looking off to the Everfree Forest "let's make them pay... all of them..." she finished with a grim face of hatred.

Fluttershy walked into the general's tent, and jumped at his outburst of "YES?!"
"eep! um.. I uh... ahem... I know of a certain herbal mixture that could boost everypony's strength and speed while lowering thier ability to feel pain, it could really help us tomorrow..." she squeeked out.
the General quirked an eye brow "interesting... what kind of side affects?"
Fluttershy looked thoughtful for a moment "well for just one dose, not many... but... well there is the probem with not feeling pain..."
the General looked confused "how is that a 'problem'?"
Fluttershy blinked "welll um.. cause... they might not realise when they're really hurt and... might end up pushing themselves far beyond thier bodie's limit..."
the General burst out laughing "IS THAT ALL? GATHER THE MEDICS AND WHIP UP AS MANY AS YOU CAN!"
Fluttershy jumped "o-oh right! right away! general sir um sir" she dashed out of the tent.
"right then..." the general turned back to the other warlords "so what will be our best tacticle approch?"
"well, we could bring in a soak from the front of earth warriors, then as they charge toward us, the sun guradians could fly in from the left flank while the war magi bombard them with fire balls from the right."
"hmmm... yes, the magi couldd cloak themselves and the pegasi until just the right moment... but what about the earth warriors? there is still the problem with these 'bows' that the barbarians have."
"what if the earth warriors have the trebuchet with them? and a few balistas too."
"then it would just be a matter of who could fire first, I've seen the design for the 'bow and arrow' it can get off two dozen shots before the balista or the trebuchet relodes."
"so make the first shots count!"
"what about the 'psions'? if they manage to put up barriers on the horde's flanks then the earth ponies will be caught in the fray defenseless"
the debate went on for hours until Twilight and Celestia entered the war tent.
"your highness" the pegasus and earth pony generals gave a bow.
soon the two new war leaders were informed of the situation and it's hopelessness, it seemed that no matter what happened, somepony's army would get completely annihilated in the process.
"not if they're thrown into a chaotic distraction" Twilight put in.
all eyes turned to her "Princess, if you and Luna can use your most powerful destruction spells on the front of the nightmare army, all of the psions will be focused on it, then I'll send in a meteor shower from directly above, destroying thier ranks, then the pegasi and unicorns can charge in from the flanks."
Celestia blinked "when did you learn such a powerful spell? Never mind it's not important right now, this seems to be the best strategy we have so far, set up CATs alongside the earth ponies to protect them from missile fire, then place engineers at the ready next to thier trebuchet and balistas, I'm sure the barbarians will have their own siege weapons..."
the generals nodded, the board set, now alls that needed to happen was for the first piece to move...
Fluttershy was sitting in one of the medical tents by herself, there was a shortage on them so there were more then enough lodgings to go around, her lip quivered as realization of everything slammed into her like a brick, they were going to war... ponies were going to die...
"Flutters?" Rainbow trotted in from the entrance of the tent "DASHIE!" *glomp*
"woah hey there hon... what's wrong?" the cyan pegasus questioned while Fluttershy's warm moist tears fell on her skin
"i-...i-i DON'T WANNA LOSE YOUU AAAHHAAAAAAAAA!" she blabered out in agony.
Rainbow felt a png of guilt, it was her idea to join th esun guardians after all... "oh 'Shy...(there! ya happy? lol)" she tired to sooth the upset mare, but Fluttershy would have none of it,
her body quaked against Dash's "w-what if you die?! what if s-something ha-happens? WAAAAHHH!"
Rainbow rolled them over so that she was lying ontop of her marefriend. "hey hey now... just relax...sshhhhh I'm right here..."
and throughout the entire night, she held her little druid tight, knowing full well that this might be the last time she'd ever do so.

the sun hadn't gone down all night with Celestia at the head of the armies, even though it was early in the morning, it appeared to be mid day, yet still, the late autum air blew a crisp chill through everypony as they suited up for battle, the earth warriors setting on thier bulky platemail and grabbing their axes,
the sun guardians grabbing their gear, the unicorns studdying thier war magic form various tomes.
Twilight cracked ehr neck as she led the war magic to the far right of the battlefield, she and every unicron cast invisibility on themselves as they lay in wait.
Meanwhile, the pegasi and earth ponies all headed up to a stand where Fluttershy was handing out herbal steroids,
each pony came up, grabbed a little phile, then gulped it down, when Rainbow came up, Flutterhsy gave her the dose, then reached over the stand and hugged her tight whispering "come back alive..."
Rainobw smiled and whispered back "I promise"
"pinkie promise?" Flutterhsy asked shakilly.
Rainbow Dash smiled "cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" she plopped a forehoof into her eye socket.
the lovers gave a last kiss, then separated before the line continued to move... then Spitfire walked up to the stand, and Fluttershy let out an evil smile, bending down to grab a special phile just for her.
Spitifre took it and smiled non the wiser, and as she trotted away, Fluttershy stared with all her might until she saw the pegasus gulp the mixture down, causing her chuckle softly with excitement brewing up.
At last everypony was in position, the sun guardians up in the clouds to the left of the field, the war magi to the far right, and Celesita and Luna standing in front of the earth warriors, staring straight ahead at the trees, Celestia covered in enchanted golden platemail wileding a giant twin claymore. with her sister suited up in shadow mithril, carrying a dual scythe
Mist flew from everypony's mouth, the tension in the air building, everypony staring at the Everfree Forest, waiting for the first strike.
...
hours seem to slowly crawl by... suddenly there was a faint singing through the air, the earth ponies looked up in curiosity "hey... what's that?" one of the warriors pointed to the sky.
Celestia and Luna looked closesly before summoning up shields, the unlucky ponies not sitting under the CATs suddenly found arrows skewering thier eyes, a few of the ponie's platemail protected them, while others suffered mortal wounds to the face,
the pony that had spoken, fell to the ground siezuring with an arrow in his neck, the blood pooling up on the mildew of the grassy plain, gurgling up liquid befor going still.
a booming war cry was heard as the nightmares came charging through the meadow, fighters wielding Great axes, others wielding longswords and shields, others wielding Katanas, and a few others wielding spears and shields.
"FIRE MISSILES!" the earth pony general shouted as the trebuchet and balistas launched stones and giant bolts into the air, a few psions raised kinetic barriers around themselves, but many of the fighters were met with crushing stones, rolling through the earth as they squished bodies, crunching through bone, breaking through skin.
Bolts hurled through the air and slammed into a few psions not prepared enough to raise shields as they were impailed.
Arrows sung through the air as the archers held back at the rear of the army, shooting up so many black shafts, that for a moment, the sun was blocked out, only to have hundreds of flying assassins rain down on the earth pony army, the CATs sounded as thunder from all of the thuds they took from invading arrows,
some of them even poking through the other side of the wood making the ponies underneath gulp.
Celestia kept a close eye on the approaching army "just a little more... just a little... more... FIRE ANOTHER ROUND!" the trebutchet and balista launched their own projectiles in return fire, this time aimed at the annoying archers,
some of the nightmares broke formation to avoide the giant stones and soaring bolts, while others were either flatted or ran through like a shishkabob.
"NOW!" Celestia exclaimed and both her and her sister's horns glowed as immensely powerful spells shot out of them, from Celestia, a giant beam shot into the sky, raining down thousands of ehteral needles, wave after wave of projectiles impailed hundreds of nightmares, skewering them, and even causing a few to outright explode!
Luna's dark shroud sifted throughout the dead bodies, reanimating them, soon the nightmares found themselves being attacked by fallen sisters, the zombies grabbing onto the nearest nightmare and snapping at their neck and head whle thier hands or psionics tore away at their entrails.
all of the psions focused their power into generating shields that rejected etheral plasma while the nightmares tried to decapitate all of the undead warriors.
Twilight stepped out of her invisibility "ok... here goes nothing..." she summoned up a chunk of firey energies and unleashed the rune inscribed on her mind, flushing out chaotic energies into the sky.
Nightmares looked up in confusion as the heavens above them went dark, an eery feeling filled them until panic washed over as giant flaming rocks hailed down on them from above, crashing into the earth, setting the meadow ablaze, nightmares lost ranks, psions lost focus, and fighters sporatically sprinted around in pandamonium.
"CHHAAAARRRRRGGGEEEEE!" Celestia roared as all three armies bolted into the chaos with rage in thier hearts and adrenalin filling thier minds, one look towards the tattered remains of Ponyville, and hatred and blood thirst filled every pony's mind.
Twilight and war magi began casting fire balls and lightning bolts in from the side, scorching and shocking several psions, flesh blackened and the stench of burn skin began filling the air, the earth warriors from the front charged in low, swingin axes at the nightmare's legs, cleaving them off as the fighters and psions fell to the ground only to be trampled by the tanks.
Celestia was cutting nightmares in half accross the torso in single powerful strikes, Luna impailed them with one crescent blade of the scythe and launched them off to the side with a twitch of her head.
a powerful nightmare was charging through the frey, slicing down ponies and blasting away unicorns with telekinesis.
Celestia soon ran into the giant nightmare, a battlemind(nightmare equivilent of an alicorn) she stood on two legs twice the size of the other fighers, exploding with muscles, and tendrils hanging down her back, her black hair and an incredibly long braid, she stood thir covered in pony blood,
wielding two Katanas, and stared the princess down.
"Y'svon..." Celestia growled, to which, the barbarian chieften only laughed back in a berserker chortle "OH HOW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!"
the two immortal leaders charged at one another, clashing thier blades around, Y'svon twirling in a verticle circle while her blades smashed with impossible strength on Celestia's armor, a few strikes denting through the metal plates,
the Alicorn responded with a tackle and rapid slashes with her own weapon, some were quickly dodged while others met the parrying katana blades.
Soon Celestia took to the skys as the battlemind levitated up to meet her, and the two immortals bolted at eachother with impossible speeds, the shockwaves from the clashing of metal blasted over several ponies beneath them.
the pegasi flew in from above, charging downwards, then quickly pulling as they dipped into the chaos, using hier speed to take off a nightmare's head before pulling back up, and though the archers launched several arrows at them, most of the projectiles bounced off the armor.
Spitfire however didn't have such an easy time, as she flew down, she suddenly felt her wings going slack, her body becoming weak as the muscle relaxant that Fluttershy had slipped her began to take effect.
"WOAAHAHAAAAAAA!" Spitfire violently crashed into the ground, getting a good look at the insanity around her, nightmares running around on fire, flailing their arms and screeeming as the searing flesh began to block out their throats, chocking them off.
Spitfire turned her head to see ponies being impailed as longswords ran them through, blood pouring out from thier mouths,
the smell of feces filled the air from all the dying ponies and nightmares, the coperish tang of blood seemed to permeate onto her tongue as she breathed in the cool air, the leaves from the forest flew throughout the battlefield, crisp with light frost and spatters of blood.
Hundereds of beings... so many... just falling like leaves... being cut down mercilessly as both ponies and nightmares alike went berserk, the ponies filled with rage and retribution for the attack on Ponyville, and the nightmares' barbaric nature demanding them to fight with hellish power to thier last breath.
WHAM! Spitfire fell to the ground, a lound pang of ringing sounded in her head as her hearing went out, something had struck her head, the impact going through the helmet discombobulating her.
A fighter stood above ehr with a great axe and lifted it above her head to rain down a strike at Spitfire's torso; Spitifre coughed out blood as her ribs caved in, but her skin remained unbroken, the armor holding up as reapeated merciless smashes to her breast plate sent spasming shockwaves through her body.
Spitfire felt tears stream down her face, was this it? this was how it was all going to end? killed by some nameless barbarian in a war? a blood curtling screem escaped her lips as the blade of the axe finally bit through the caved in platemail, the steel ripping into her flesh,
cleaving through bone and severing muscle as it became trapped in the folded metal, the fighter put her hoof on Spitifire's chest and yanked on her axe back and forth to free it, the motions slicing even further into Spitfire's body,
finally the blade came free with a sickening SHULK and as the blade flew up, a stream of blood went with it.
Suddenly a pegasus crashed into the figher, Derpy's blade sunk into the nightmare's neck, coming out the other side.
Spitfire faintly saw the war raging on, earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns all blasting thier respective war tactics through the battlefield, and though her vision began to blur, her body weakening from blood loss, she clenched her teeth, refusing to give up.
Spitfire unsinched all hte ties on her armor until she could wiggle out of it on the ground, then she weakly draged herself with her fore hooves towards a dead nightmare, her body still lit up in arcane fire,
the Wonderbolt grabbed hold of a longsword with her maw, her vision getting more and more dizzy by the second, she needed to act fast before all her blood ran out.
Spitifre placed the sword's blade on the burning corpse, and after several seconds, it was red hot, Spitfire barely had the strength to continue, but she summoned up what was left of her adrenalin to grasp the sword's handle and whip her head around to press the red hot metal against the giant gash along the left side of her torso.
No words could describe the pain she felt, or the screem that flew from her mouth, eyesight turning pure white, she passed out.
Rainbow Dash felt the steroids form Fluttershy's herbal mixture corse through her body, fueling her berserker fit, she roared in power, her mind going blank of all except her her lust for battle.
*Indestructible by Disturbed* watch?v=aWxBrI0g1kE
*another mission has called me away! another time to carry the col-ors again!*
Rainbow zipped down towards the nightmares with her golden platemail shining in the sun, she sliced through multiple fighters, cleaving open thier chests before rising back up to the sky.
*my motivation to know that I swore to defend! do me the honor of coming back hooome again!*
Rainbow dodged all the arrows that were fired at her from those pesky archerd in the back of the army, then she charged at them, and if it hadn't been for the sword in her mouth, she would have licked hr lips.
*no way this inofrmation will matter to me after again. another dark destroy that's burried the name!*
Twilight levitated into the air as her eyes glowed white and an aura surrounded her body while hurling botls of lighting down at the psions, striking them down like a god of war.
*my true vocation, and now my unfor-tu-na-te friend! you will discover why you're unable to wiiiiin!*
Rainbow was on the ground, bucking her hind legs with spikes on the horseshoes into nightmares' faces as she slashed through other opponant's necks, a little twitch of the head and she'd dismember a fighter, causing them to fall to the ground in agony, a few them were able to block with their giant shields, but Dash just turned about and bucked them into somepony else's weapon.
*I'll haaave you knooooowwwww, that I've becom INDE-STRU-CTI-BLE!*
Twilight's body lit up in fire as she summoned her chaos form, the only other time she'd used it was when she freaked out on Pinkie during the hydra incidend. The mage's arcane energies sent out a torrent of power ripping apart her enemies piece by piece.
*determination is in-cor-upt-ible! from the epi-center, terror to-be-hold! annihil-ation will be una-voidable!*
Rainbow soared lowly through the army, twitching her head left and right as she slashed through nightmare after night mare
*every brooooken enemy will know! that there unbroken and will be invin-cible!*
Twilight levitated up high with the pegasi and summoned up a large rush of power, building up a large surge of fire
*take a last look arrrround all your liiiife, I'm an inde-structible-*
Twilight sccreeched as a seething firestrom spread unto the archers, lighting them ablaze, roasting them through all the way to the bone.
*MAAASTER OF WAAAAAARRR!*
Rainbow charged through the nightmares slicing theier heads off like butter.
*another reason, another cause for me to fight!*
Rainbow thought of her Flutters, thouht of how she needed to survive this as she was surrounded by Fighters "BRING IT OOOON!" she roared as they all lunged at her
*ano-ther fuse now for-me-to-light! my dedi-cation to honor, I swore to protect!*
she remembered the general's simple orders, unleash tartyrus, leave nopony alive.
*I carry out my orders withooout a regret!*
Rainbow bucked at the fighters behind her and slashed fowrad at the ones infront of her, cutting through necks, dismembering, crushin skulls, she roared with laughter as her berserkfer fit sent her into an edge of battle ecstacy.
*a declaration burried deep un-der my skin*
Twilight looked back at the remains of Ponyville, the friends who died, the buildings destroyed, the ponies butchered like animals
*a permanant re-minder of how it began!*
once again hatred boiled up inside her and she turned towards the nightmares, their numbers greatly dwindling from the slaughter. "AAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!" the mage unleashed pure destruction as she jut her fore legs out, lightning casting from them, chaining throughout the enemies and causing a few of them to downright explode.
*no hesi-tation when I am cooomanding the strike! you need to know that you're in for the fiight of your liiiiiife!*
a few earth ponies that were sprinting through the battle bumped into a wall... a pile? they turned up to see literally a mountain of nightmare corspes, and at the top, a cyan pegasus cut down any opponants who dared challenge the queen of the hill
*you will be shoooown how I've becooom INDESTRUCTIBLE! determination that is incorruptible! froooom the epicenter terror to be-hold! annhiliation will be unavoidable!*
Rainbow was soon cutting nightmares completely in half like butter
*eeeevery broooken ene-my-will-know! that there unbroken and will be invin-cible!*
bucking left and right with the spiked horseshoes, decapitating and impailing, Rainbow became an unstopable machine of death
*take a last look aaround alll your liiiife*
nightmares began backing away in fear, ponies jaws dropped as Dashe decapitated the last challenger, standing at the top of the corpse mountain, she smashed her hoof onto a squishy dead body and puffed steam out her nostrils in dominance
*I'M AN INDESTRUCTIBLE, MAAAAASTER OF WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!*
Twilight looked off into the Everfree Forest to see another wave of barbarians coming in, and these ones wielding siege weapons "oh no..."
she teleported next to Rainbow Dash and nudged her
*IIIII'm indestructible! determination is incoruptible! from the epicenter terror to behold! annihilation will be unavoidable, eeevery broken enemy will know! that there unbroken and will be invincible!*
"DASH! THERE'S MORE IN THE FOREST! IT'S AN AMBUSH!" she shouted over the sounds of battle
Rainbow smiled at her not fully hearing, her mind was too filled with firey humors, to far into her berserker rage.
Twilight hoofaced herself "wait no! this is good!" she grabbed Rainbow with telekinesis and lifted her into the air, bringing her over the forest
"USE YOUR SONIC RAINBOOM!" such a simple command of batlle was able to reach Rainbow's mind as she took off into the air, Twilight's horn lit up as she surrounded the pegasus' body in a powerful blinding light. 'this is Rastlin's most powerful spell...'
once it was cast on the pegasus' body, Twilight teleported faaaaar away back to the battlefield.
*take a last look around all your liiife, I'm and indestructible... indestructible*
Rainbow felt the wind soaring past her face as she rose higher and higher and higher.
*INDESTRUCTIBLE, DETEM-INA-TION THAT IS INCO-RUPTIBLE!*
she faintly felt some energy surging through her body, accelerating her further and further, a starnge aura that swallowed up her form.
*FROM THE EPI-CENTER TEROR TO-BE-HOLD!*
suddenly Rainbow changed direction and dive bombed downward.
*ANIHILATION WILL BE UNA-VOIDABLE! EEEEVERY BROKEN ENEMY WILL KNOW! THAT THERE I WILL BE ININCIBLE!*
the speed growing higher and higher until the wind barrier began to shatter, her body nearing the earth, space and time warped around her body as her chaotic speed mixed with the spell creating an agent of utter destruction.
*TAKE A LAST LOOK AROUND ALL YOUR LIIIIFE I'M AN INDESTRUCTABLE!*
right at the last minute before hitting the trees, she pulled up, giganic explosion sounding througout the forest, the energy fusing with powerful arcane energies forming an apoacalyptic explosion of epic praportions
*MAAAASTER OF WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*
a giant blinding light filled the air as a mushroom cloud filled the forest, nightmares were vaporised into ash, Rainbow went flying with unnatural speed in a random direction from the blast,
ponies from the battle field shiedled their eyes from the explosion, a giant mushroom cloud filling the forest, radiation melting away and scorching the earth.
Celestia pulled her head away from the light 'what?... Rastlin... the atomic deconstructor spell...'
Celestia cried out in pain as Y'svon sliced into her with a Katana and quickly turned to face her opponant
annoyance at how long her enemy was lasting through the Alicorn off of her finess and she began barbarically lashing out in anger.
Y'svon countered the attacks, disarming the Princess before nicking her across the face.
Celestia tackled the battlemind, taking them both plummeting down to the earth, crashing into the ground with a painful crack.
Celestia shakilly got up before staring at the woozy nightmare, Celestia'd had enough of this, she sprinted at the nightmare and impailed her iwth her horn, ten lifted her into the iar as the horn began to glow with fierce arcane energy,
Y'svon started lighting up with white lines tracing her body like cracks in a glass until BOOM! guts and bits of body matter went flying accross the battlefield, Celestia covered in the immortal's blood
Everypony panted, looking around to see that there wasn't a single survivor of the nightmare army, or if there was then they either ran away or were playing dead.
Rainbow was inside of a barn that she'd landed in, finally reaching the end of her chaotic flight, her head popped up not believing what she'd just experienced.
Twilight in the battlefield was staring with ehr jaw reaching the floor at the still present smoky mushroom cloud, everything withen that blast had been completely erraticated, radiation fallout now settling into the ground.
"s-so... that's the power that Rastlin held..." Twilight let out weekly.
"indeed" Twilight jumped and whiped herself around to see a blood drenched Celestia, staring down at her pupil in dissapointment.
"Rastlin's power was sealed up for a reason Twilight Sparkle, his magick is forbidden."
Twilight hung her head down in shame.
"however... it served you well... but it's time to give those spell tomes back, the world was never supposed to see Rastlin's power ever again." the Princess finished, Twilight noded sadly.

several ponies were sifting through the blood drenched meadow, slitting the throats of still living nightmares, and calling up stretchers for fallen ponies who still had a pulse.
"hmm..." Derpy mused as she trotted through the bodies, then she saw her! "SPITFIRE!" she ran over to find the unconcious pegasus, Derpy brought her ear down to her mouth... still breathing! but faintly.
Derpy called for the medics and soon the Wonderbolt found herself in a medical tent.
XXXXX
Rainbow lazilly flew across the meadow towards the battle camp site "finally! " she let out with joy and began zooming towards the area, cramping at her minor wounds, any damage that she had sustained was severely blunted by her armor which had several scratches and cut marks surrounding it, along with a few dents from blunt impact, which she could feel pressing against her body,
other then that the armor was fine, well excluding being stained with nightmare blood.
Rainbow landed inside the camp and searched frantically for Fluttershy "FLUUTTERRRS!" she sprinted along the camp site, seeing hundreds of wounded being tended to by medics.
'she's probalby helping somepony...' Rainbow thought to herself as she sighed, then winced at the pain, she needed to get this armor off...
XXXXX
Fluttershy was zipping between several tents, stitching up some ponies and giving anesthetics to others, she even had to perform surgery on a few of them...
"phew!" she whiped her head as one of the other medics took over for her, they had actually suffered pretty minor casualties compared to their enemies, it wasn't a real war, more like a slaughter, the nightmares may have out numbered them and had better weapons,
but the ponies had armor, magic, and experienced war leaders, they were disciplined and had a reason to believe that they were the good guys, and in the end, that decided that battle.
Fluttershy sighed as she trotted along, until a particular tent caught her eye, she stopped... took a few steps back, then turned her head, jaw dropping.
There, inside the tent, was Spitfire! she was in critical condition, but the ponies were working fast, cutting open the carterized wound and stitching up her injured innerds.
Fluttershy's eye twitched... a lot 'WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!?' the yellow mare shook with anger, were the divine wathcing over her or something? Fluttershy wanted to burst in there and strangle the bucking persistant mare!
but she didn't, not with witnesses, 'just be patient' she told herself, shed get another chance... eventually, and if there was one thing Fluttershy had, it was patience.
but her anger was put off when she later bumped into her Dashie, and after tackling her to the ground in a giant kiss, she quickly dragged the cyan mare to her tent for uh... victory celebration...
XXXXX
(a few days after the war)
Twilight was still sore from the victory celebration, she couldn't really recall what happened, thinking that somepony might've added alchohol to the drinks...
the mage sighed, looking at her empty table, once filled with Rastlin's forbidden books, how sad... she'd been getting pretty good at them too...
"oh well... for the best I guess..." she mumbled out melancholy, although she had to wonder, if the magicks were so horrible, then why didn't Celestia just have them burned? but she knew the answer to that,
all true magi had a respect for magick, even kinds they didn't aprove of, thusly it would be a sin to destroy it.
Twilight groaned, still put off by the loss of Rastlin's magick
"naw oh well..." she sighed as her #1 assisstant hopped up on her back "hey Twi! why so glum?" he asked in his childish voice.
Twilight just gave out a laugh "ohhh nothing... just being a spoil sport, I'll be fine..." she looked towards the several books of her library, and began to wonder just how many legendary beings weren't so mythical after all...

Rarity and Applejack were spending the day together as they trotted accross Ponyville, taking in sights, and enjoying eachother's company, althoguh Applejack was still a bit concerned about not being able to find Applebloom...
Said filly was currently sneaking past the Everfree Boarder, which was now being patroled by sun guardians and earth warriors, but Applebloom knew just how to sneak past authoritative figures.
"HILLLLLDDAAAA!?" she called out as she found thier usual meeting spot, but nopony was there this time...
"Applebloom?" the Filly turned to see the nightmare fighter creeping through the trees. "there you are!" Applebloom let out excitedly.
Hilda gave a shy smile as she aproached, then she meerely dashed in an pulled the fily up in a crushing hug "I'm gonna miss you sooooo much!"
Applebloom blinked "miss me? why?"
Hilda gulped as she put the pony down "I... my people... were leaving, there's nothing left for us here, and now... there's so few of us... our homeland should be able to provide plenty of resources with so few mares fighting over it so... were going back home..." the nightmare looked at the ground with tears welling up in her eyes.
"oh... ah...ah see..." Applebloom looked away, not sure what to say.
"um applebloom? I... there's one thing I want to do before I leave.." Hilda asked nervously.
Applebloom tilted her head adorably, Hilda wondered if the earth pony knew how cute she was. "what is it?" the farmpony asked.
Hilda bit her lips, then decided 'oh buck it' she picked the pony up again, holding her close in her arms and smashed their lips together, kissing long and hard,
Applebloom felt the barbarian's strong lips pressing against her own soft ones as they both closed their eyes in pleasure.
Neither knew how long they stayed like that before Hilda released her "I'll never forget you Applebloom" she gave the filly another little kiss before running off towardsthe barbarian encampment.
Applebloom sat there, stunned and blushing, incredibly confused at what she was feeling but... at the same time... a warm smille crossed her lips, she'd never forget her strange friend either.

(FIIINAALLLYYY! I'VE BEEN WANTING TO WRITE THIS PART FOR AGES! warning: this scene contains an extremely graphic depiction of violence.)
Fluttershy was dusting off a few areas of her cottage hut, when she heard a knock at the door.
"who could that be?..." Rainbow had said that she would be working at cloudsdale all day today... Unless it was Rarity with Opal again...
Fluttershy cheerily trotted over to the door and opened it "well hello!..." Flutterhsy froze, her eyes blinking repeatedly... standing there infront of her... was Spitfire... bandaged up from her wounds, she stood there with a small shy smile "um... somepony siad I might find Rainbow Dash here? I uh... need to talk to her about something..."
Fluttershy slightly shook with hapyness 'this... is... too... perfect...'
"uh-uh-um ya! uh she um... went out for a littlee while, but she'll be back in just a few minutes, why don't you come in?" the pink maned mare asked with a fake mask of innocence on her face.
"uhh.. ok sure..." Spitfire walkd into the cottage... into her grave.
Fluttershy shut the door and turned to her prey "can I get you some tea?" she asked pleasantly. "oh no, I'm fine... thank you though" Spitfire layed down on the couch, wincing at the pain her side brought her.
'I hope it stings so much, you can't sleep...' Fluttershy idly thought to herself. Needing a new tactic other then food poisoning, Fluttershy put a hoof to her chin in thought.
"hmm..." then her cute little mouth twisted into a sadistic smile "oh do mind watching someone for me? snivles needs constant attention, and I have to go tend to the chickens" she asked with a gentle tone.
"huh? oh uh.. sure I guess..." Spitfire replied, not really listening, how was she going to get Rainbow to talk to her?... how would she get her feelings across?
Fluttershy trotted over to a little hole in the wall and gave out a few strange sounds, causing a snake to slither it's way out, she brought her mouth close to it's head and whispered a few things.
"ok! I'll be back in a jiffy!~" she sang out before prancing out of the cottage.
Spitfire looked around the opposing chair from her seat on the couch as a yellow snake slithered towards her, causing the Wonderbolt's eyes to widen in fear.
"uh um um FLUTTERSHY! UH AH!" she began scooting away as the serpent climbed up onto the couch and began coiling itself around her body, she began spasming and screeming for help,
the snake beginning to crush her body, she was so wrapped up in her panic that she didn't even notice somepony walking into the cottage, then, PANG!
Spitfire fell to the ground unconcious, and standing behind her was Flutershy holding a shovel, she looked at her snake "good boy Snivels!" the snake slithered its way up her body and snuggled into her.
"tee hee! that tickles!" she said before staring down at her prey. "as for you... I've got smomething special planned for you..."
XXXXX
Spitfire's vision slowly came into focus, everything was blurry as she she faintly recognized a light hanging above her, at first her head screeched with a sore pain, but she ignored it as she looked around at her surroundings.
Spitfire was laying on a table of some sort, she was on her back, and her fore and hind hooves were bound with... NAILS! Spitfire's mouth dropped as she saw four rusty nails impailing her hooves into each corner of hte table, old dry blood stained her ankles and wrists.
"HELLLLP! SOMEPONY GET ME OUT OF HERE!" she screemed as the the pain of the nails coursed through her, but struggling to get free only reponed the wounds, letting blood run free down her legs.
Spitfire's eyes frantically scanned the shed she was sitting in, wooden, the walls stained with old blood, and a table nearby with freshly cleaned tools and... kitchen utensils... not forks and spoons either...
the Wonderbolt began to frantically panic.
"oh! you're finally awake!" said a voice from the edge of the shed, Spitfire looked up to see Fluttershy.
"oh thank Celestia! help get these nails out, I need to get to the hospital!" she pleaded.
Flutttersh covered her mouth as she started giggling, then burst out into full on laughter, Spitfire looked at her with a confused expression "why are you laughing? get me outta here!"
Fluttershy just kept laughing harder and harder, even to the point that she began crying "OH HAHAHAHA! THIS IS HAHAHAHA AMAZING! oh you stupid mule... You really aren't the sharpest tool in the shed are you?" she asked sadistically as she headed over to the metal bench next to where Spitfire was nailed down on.
Spitfire lookd at her with a horrified expression "wh.. did you... have something to do with this?" she asked as her fear began returning.
Fluttershy wanted to face hoof herself "oh my you're dumb... OFCOURSE I DID! I'M THE ONE WHO KNOCKED YOU OUT BIRD BRAIN!" she screemed at the Wonderbolt.
Spitfire's eyes twitched "bu...w...why? WHAT'D I EVER DO TO YOU?!" she damanded struggling against the nails.
Fluttershy grinded her teeth together as she turned to pick up a meat cleaver in her forehoof(oh shut up, ponies have used thier hooves to hold items plenty of times in the show)
"WHAT...DID...YOU...DOOO!?" she leaned up against the table on her hind legs with her free forepaw on the table "oh I'll tell you what you did" she continued, "you little slut seductress, you... you tried to take my Dashie from me..." she grwoled out with dark circles under her eyes, glaring with pure detestment at the Wonderbolt.
"wh? oh... oh hay no..." full understandment of her situation slammed into Spitfire like a brick "oh no... w-wait! I-i-i didn't know! I swear! I'M SORRY!" she began yanking at her legs, causing the nails to tear even further through the muscle tissue, searring pain surged through her limbs.
"oh I'm soooowwwwy, pwease wet me gooo!" Fluttershy mocked in a childish voice, "gosh I'm gonna enjoy this"
"WHAT THE BUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOUR SICK! YOUR BUCKING SICK IN THE HEAD!" Spitfire screemed at the top of her lungs.
Fluttershy shrugged "maybe, but it's not me you should be worried about right now~" she sang out as she fiddled with the cleaver.
Spitfire began hyperventalating
"HEEEEELLLLLP HEELLLLLLPPP!"
Fluttershy laughed maniacly "go ahead! screem your ugly little head off! nopony's gonna hear you!"
"y! s-somepony will find out!"
Fluttershy laughed "how? you're body? I wouldn't worry about that... did you know that pigs are omnivors?"
Spitfire blinked in confusion.
Flutershy continued "they'll eat aaaaaaannnnnyyyything" she said slowly as a horrifying smile stretched accross her lips.
"provided that you make the pieces small enough heh heh..." she lifted the cleaver in the air.
Spitfire screemd with all her might as the blade swung down with an eerie *thunk* cutting halfway into her leg muscle. Fluttersy pulled the cleaver out and hacked it down once again, this time separating bone, Spitfire vomited from the unbearable pain, the blade lifted one more time before falling upon her hind leg, finally cutting it in two.
Fluttershy hopped up and down from joy, and she slowly made her way around her prey, dismembering each individual limb one by one until Spitfire was reduced to a torso with blood squirting stubs wiggling around in the air as she screemed in more pain than she'd ever experienced in her life.
Fluttershy laughed at the pitiful sight before her, the little pony with no fore or hind hooves, stuggling while blood shoot out onto the table from all four limbs, tongue wailing out in agony.
"see, this is why nopony ever tries to take my Dashie, my sunshine... now then... you're still going to have to be smaller for the pigs..." the cleaver rose in the air again...
XXXXX
Rainbow dashed through the air as she made her way towards Fluttershy's cottage, she looked down to see the druid feedin her pigs.
Fluttershy cheerily tossed cubes of Spitfire wrapped up in lettice to her pigs signing happily to herself
"my little suuuunshine, my little suuunshin, you make me haaappyyyyyy when skies are greeeeyyy you'll never knoow hooooow much I loooove youuuuu~" she turned as she felt a gust of wind pick up to see her preparing to land "please don't taaaake my suunshiiiine awaaaayyy~"
she nuzzled up to her Dashie as she landed and gave her a sweet kiss, knowing that this cyan pegasus, her guardian angel, her whole world... was all hers.

(EPILOUG)
Applejack was resting on a hill after a hard day's work, she was looking at a newspaper, the title was, *investigators drop search for Wonderbolt leader Spitfire* apparently so many months had passed with no solid leads, there was simply nowhere to go, nothing they could do.
"huh... well that's a shame..." Applejack said idly as she tossed the newspaper into the garbage.
"heeeeyyy Applejack!" Rainbow let out as she flew in "oh Rainbow! how are ya?"
"I'm good! really good actually heh heh... uhm... will you... be... my maid of honor?" Rainbow scuffed the ground with her hoof.
Applejack blinked "... what... YOU'RE GETTIN MARRIED!" her screem practically knocked the cyan pegasus over.
"uh ya! me and 'Shy are heading to clopville where it's legal for same sex couples to get married, and uh... we wan't all of our friends to be there..." she bit her lip shyly.
Appljack for the first time in her life squeeled like a little filly and picked her friend up in a loving hug "I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR YOOOUUU!"
soon all of the mane six and Spike were on the train, Fluttershy and Rainbow sat next to eachother, holding one another's hooves, looking out he train window at the rising sun... staring off into the distance of Clopville... and there future... together...
the wedding was simple, very simple, just a little gathering of their close friends in a grassy garden, Pinkie Pie had brought along a giant cake, Twilight preformed a few spectacles for fireworks, Rarity insisted on making the couple's wedding dresses,
and Applejack trotted along side Rainbow dash up the aile, and handed her off to Fluttershy with happy tears in her eyes.
Flutterhsy and Rainbow Dash smiled at each other, all troubles behind them, all pasts burried were they belong, in the past... looking now to the future they'd share together... with love... and when they both said those special two words 'I do'
their hearts swelled with more happyness then they'd ever felt thier whole lifes... and that one loving little kiss they shared at dusk, with the faint orange light of the setting sun making the two pegasi glow, they knew... the knew they'd live their entire lives happilly in eachother's arms.
THE END!
AN: holy crap I got's a lot to rant about... where to start... uh... well I guess I'll start by saying this was not the original ending but I decided to go with this because the other ending was to dark... like... horrrrrrrrribly dark... but anwyho I'm happy with this, it's simple, happy, and wraps it all up and slaps a bow on it, I hope you all enjoyed this story, I know I did, and I do have another mlp clopfic planned out already,
it's gonna be a twiluna/cheerilight where Twilight gets torn between the school teacher and the princess of the night, one offers love, a happy normal life, stability, and happyness, the other offers a portal into a world of strange unkown, forbidden knowledge, dark magicks, and rough sex, in the end... what will Twilight decide, who will she choose? will she embrace the warm light? or descend hapilly into swaddling darkness... I can't wait to get started, I love Twilight she's my fav pony! and I've always wanted to see a story with Twilight staudying black magick! muahahahaa!
