Raust's inevitable (but reluctant) return to Equestria

It was a sad day in Equestria, Especially for Twilight and her friends. This day marked the first time the undead planeswalker, Raust, Slayer of Hope, set foot in Equestria, and the day they lost an entire city to his "Ghoul Gang". He had come for one of them, and when they denied him, he loosed a fury upon their realm that Hell itself would shudder to bear witness to. In the attack, they lost many brave ponies to the lich, including the one he came for. Poor Derpy, she didn't deserve to be killed by a rotting mound of undead flesh, much less one with a chainsaw. But, many now rejoiced, for Raust would never set foot in Equestria ever again, They would see to that. Or, at least, that's what they thought.

As the six ponies mourned, a sinister portal opened near ponyville, and six undead creatures stepped out, the dreaded Ghoul Gang. Raust told them to find a planeswalker that had just popped up around here, and find one they will. Will they be able to KILL it, though? That was the question since their encounter with Derpy. She was so infuriating, Raust let Gorgo eat her while she was still alive. Anyway, the Ghoul Gang moved in on the town and prepared to do what they did best: make a huge-ass mess out of everything, with maximum casualties.

Twilight first heard crashes, then screams. As the six turned to face the noise, they saw Ponyville ablaze, with six familiar characters adding to the chaos, characters the mane six hoped to never see again: the Ghoul Gang, AKA the creeps that worked for that big bully, Raust. However, they didn't see Raust anywhere. This Didn't concern them, however, as six near-invincible, undead juggernauts were tearing the town apart looking for something, or, rather, somePONY.

"Alright, girls," yelled Twilight, "let's make these chumps regret coming back here!" The six cheered in agreement, then Charged off toward the six ruffians. It was about time they had a rematch with those bullies.

The Ghoul Gang had already set the town ablaze in an attempt to to draw the heroes to them, as was the usual strategy. It was obvious and cliche', but it always worked. Now, they were hearing familiar screams of anger from six very familiar figures: Those pesky Mane six, and a planeswalker was among them, according to Raust. The six got into battle positions as they waited for their prey.

The Mane Six charged their unmoving  opponents, and the Ghoul Gang stood ready for them. Just as Rainbow Dash was about to ram them at full speed, Macro shouted "SCATTER!!!", and they did just that, causing poor Rainbow to hit the dirt, hard. Twilight coughed as dust billowed all around them, then used her wings to fan it away from her, as little good that did her.

"Why are you back here!? You got what you wanted! Just leave us alone!" Shouted Twilight as she searched for her adversaries.

"Sorry, love. We can't go until we get a planeswalker..." Called macro from the dust. "So, just hand yourself over, and we'll be off."

Twilight reeled back in shock. "Wait, you mean ME!? Why do you want me?" She asked, utterly stumped.

Macro laughed an evil, raspy laugh. "You really don't know? And here I thought you were the bright one, 'princess'." He called in a mocking tone. "Here, love, let me explain it for you: You're spark's just ignited recently, and that put you on R'tas's Shit list." Macro gave another hearty laugh. "so, love, this can go one of two ways: one, We win. Or two, You and your friends lose. What's it gonna be?"

Twilight growled. "I don't know what kind of bacteria are crawling in your decayed brain, but I'm not handing myself over on a hunch. Now, here are my options. One, you leave, or two, we make you. You caused enough trouble here, don't make us destroy you!"

A raspy, reptilian cackle pierced the dust cloud: "Keh heh heh! Awww, the little princess-in-training wants to get big with us! How adorable! Stupid, but adorable!"

A great, low, earth-shaking voice called out soon after: "Oi, Macro! Can we's eats her now? I'm starvin' here!

Macro groaned in annoyance. "Shut it, both of you! Alright, love, you've had time to think about it, give us your answer."

Twilight searched for the source of the voices, but to no avail. Finally she sighed in defeat. "Fine, but show yourselves first! I at least want to see before I die."

"Hmmm..." hummed Macro thoughtfully. "I suppose we could give you that much. Alright, Love, I'll let you see your executioner."

Suddenly, the dust parted, and Twilight's friends were revealed, unconscious and bound to Gorgo, the enormous Gravehulk. Then, Macro snapped his armored fingers, and Stabby took a hungry but cautious step forward, like a wolf toward its prey.

"Well, love, it's been fun, but I'm afraid your road ends here. Any last words before Stabby shanks you to death?

Twilight put a hoof to her chin in a ponderous manner, then said: "Just three, actually."

Macro suppressed a laugh.

Macro harrumphed. "Well? Spit 'em out, then."

Twilight merely smiled arrogantly, then said: "See you, 'love'."

Before Macro could react, Twilight teleported out of his reach, then flew off toward the Castle of Canterlot.

Macro's red eye twitched, Then he began to shake with rage, causing everyone to back away. Then, he shouted at everyone, not even stopping for breaths. "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?!? WHY!?! WHYYYY!?!?!?!?" He ranted, then stopped upon hearing a familiar voice behind him:

"Having some trouble here, Second-in-command?"

"Aww, crap..." was all Macro could say to his boss, who was now standing right behind him. Next Chapter: "Gorgo, spit that out right now!" Estimated time remaining: 9 Minutes
