hyena king here! I know, it's been a while,and I'm sorry for that, but I will now make it up to you through this next chapter! I warn you, this goes a little off-script as far as the game goes, but it will be good, promise. So, without further ado, here's chapter 35!

thunder and the goddesses quickly made there way to the cargo hold, where they met up with spike and fFiona,who were just then struggling out of a wooden crate. Spike, who was stretching out his back, growled in anger.

"About time you showed up. We were waiting forever for you guys."

"Don't take that tone with me, lizard boy!" Karen all but roared, pulling a sword out of nowhere. Thunder growled and yelled just as fiercely.

"Enough! We don't have time for this!" In a quieter voice, he asked Fiona, who was shaking her dizzy head. "Where are the girls?"

Fiona shook her head a little more, then pointed with her snout down a corridor. The group headed down it, each wondering what lied ahead. They came out into a larger cargo hold, where a strange sight beheld them. It was the main six, tied up in a group in the middle of the room, gagged with white cloth. Thunder and sasha went to cut them loose, while twilight tried to tell them something frantically, the gag muffleing her attempts. When sasha removed her gag, she screamed.

"It's a trap!"

At that moment, a flow of lava appeared over the entrance they had came through, the magma gardening to rock almost instantaneously, blocking the entrance. In puffs of smoke, creatures that looked like a horried cross between a pony and a lizard colored red and black appeared, hissing at the assembled group,while demonic versions of diamond dogs, complete with horns, growled at them. In front of the blockade, malice came forth, his mane a long trail of fire, a snarl on his face.

"Well, ladies and gents, congratulations, you have all been even bigger pains in the neck then I ever thought possible. I consider myself, despite what you might think, an even tempered stallion. It takes a lot to get under my skin, but you have all one the gold medal in the annoy-me-olympics."

He turned to his minions snarling. "Kill all, but the mares. I need them for the ritual."

With that, the salamanders and hellhounds, for that was what they were, surged forth, carrying out their master's order.

A fierce fight ensued. Thunder punched out, sending shockwaves that sent the hellspawn flying backwards, while Karen went straight in, slashing with her sword. Maria and Julie provided support by blasting magical blasts at there attackers, who sent fireballs right back at them.

Sasha quickly undid the bindings on the main six, who joined the fray. Applejack and rainbow went straight in, slobbering with fists and kicks, while rarity and twilight provided cover fire with their magic. Fluttershy and pinkie stayed back, with pinkie occasionally throwing cupcakes at their attackers.

Even the dragons joined in. Fiona, in all her dragon might, fire balls of acid and attacked with her claws and teeth, while spike rode on her head, looking like Napoleon on his horse.

They fight ended with the beasts on the ground beaten senseless or out was about to say something, but a shriek came from behind, drawing his attention. Malice had her by the throat, saying to thunder. "Come to the top of this blimp, alone, or she dies." He then disappeared in a cloud of smoke, causing thunder to scream.

"Twilight!"

yep, another cliffhanger. I know, this looks rushed, but I've had a hectic schedule. Hope you enjoy. R&R please!
