I hover in the air for a bit longer before I shake my head and fly for the building. I know where they are, plus Miles is a big boy, he can take care of himself. There are a lot of the green creatures trying to break in, but they're all clumped together. I land next to them and hack at them as hard as possible, sending a powerful gust that sends them flying back.

"Guys, its me! Let me in!" I yell as I pound on the door, glancing back to see the giant one charge at me.

"COME ON!" Storm yells as he pulls the desk out of the way and drags me inside, pushing the desk back in place. I drop the sword and sit down, trying to catch my breath as I calm down.

"How is everypony?" I ask as I look around. Rarity and Twilight are in the back of the room, helping Fluttershy, while Storm, Applejack and Pinkie hold up a desk against the windows.

"Well... things have been better. We can only hold the door for a bit longer, go and see if Fluttershy is ready to go yet." Storm says as the creatures start pounding on the desk again. "And hurry!" I nod and run to the others as they help Fluttershy up. She's still teary eyed, holding her hoof close to herself, but at least she's up.

"Fluttershy! Are you alright? Think you can make it out of here?"

"*sniif* I-I can try..."

"Alright, Rainbow and Fluttershy will fly to safety as we go through the back. We'll all meet at the P.C.H." Twilight says as she puts the rest of her medical supplies back.

"What? No way I'm leaving you guys behind..."

"Rainbow, you're not leaving us behind. Just think of it as... advance leading. We can handle our selves, but we need somepony to take Fluttershy to safety and watch after her."

"But..."

"No buts. Now get going! We don't have much time left!" Twilight yells as the pounding gets louder.

"Fine! Come on Fluttershy." I say as jump into the air and fly to the back door.

"Uh... girls." Fluttershy quivers. I sigh and look back to see her standing there, flapping her wings as hard as she can. "I can't get air born."

"What?" I ask as I fly back to her and look over her wings. "There's nothing wrong with your wings though, you should be able to fly." She shuts her eyes as she tries again to fly, but can't seem to get in the air.

"There must be something magical wrong with..."

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" We all look back to the front as something forces the desk to fly forward, knocking everypony over as the green creatures start to charge in. Storm was quick to get back up and immediately started started hacking at them, sending them flying back as we all gathered at the back.

"OK, Fluttershy can't fly, so we go to the next plan. Twilight will teleport the two of you to the P.C.H. as we all make a run for it." I explain as Applejack kicks open the door. I look back to Storm to see a giant hand grab the top of the window and tear the top of the building off. Storm spins around and slashes at the giant, sending a whirlwind that knocks the giant on it's back as the remaining creatures swarm him. He stabs and slashes at them, cutting limbs and blowing them back as he holds them at bay.

"GET GOING!" He yells as he continues to fight, debris falling all around him. "I'LL HOLD THEM OFF! MEET AT THE P.C.H!"

"You heard him, let's get going!" I yell as I start pushing them to go. We all run into an alley and head towards the tall building in the center of the city, the sound of Storm fighting getting quitter and quitter as we near it slowly. The alley has a few mounds here and there that start to bulge around when we pass them, but we don't stop.

"Rainbow! You need to go find Miles!" Rarity yells as we charge across a road and into another alley.

"What?! I can't leave you guys! You need my..."

"Miles needs help to! If he's even conscious after that fall he's going too need assistance with anything thing else! These creatures seem to drain magical energy, he will need your help!" Twilight yells as a few more creatures appear in front of us. Rarity and Twilight immediately start shooting as we charge through them, their rounds making ashy holes in the creatures.

"But... I... FINE! But you guys better be at the P.C.H. when we get there!"

"We will. Be safe."

"You to." I say before I leap into the air and begin to fly upwards. I glance back to see a group of the creatures charging at them from both sides, red beams mowing down the ones in front as they continue to run through them. You better get there safely... I shake my head and begin to fly towards the center of the city as fast as my wings will get me there.

After a few minutes I make it to the center of the city and look around in awe. The cliff here is huge. It goes all the way from one edge of the city to the other, going down twenty stories... as Miles told us. The building on the top of the cliff seem to be a part of it as well. The buildings appear to continue to be built into the side of the cliff and go all of the way down....

"Oh that doesn't look good." I say as I stare at... well... uh...

ALL WILL TURN TO THE VOID

As a group of creatures charge at me, eight-ish, I try to back away with my good leg as I fire at them, but my rifle is being completely useless. Every shot seems to just drive through them, causing no harm what so ever. When they're in arms reach I slam my left arm on the ground and send them flying back with a wave of energy. Once I have some spare room I sling my rifle back and start healing...

"Oh sweet Barbra." I mutter as the creatures get back up.... larger then before. They snarl at me before lunging, closing the distance in half the time. I try to raise a shield around myself, but end up making it encase me with one of them.... son of a...

"RAHWIIIIIIMAAA!" It screeches before it tries to bite me. I punch it across the face, stopping it from latching onto me. I notice that a chunk of its face burns and falls... hmm, they must be susceptible to fire....

"AAAAHHHHH! I yell as it takes advantage of my distraction and bites my arm. I start to try to punch it as my magic suddenly shuts off.... SHIT! Every creature jumps me as my shield drops. I try to fight to get free, but their teeth big deep into my skin.

ALL WILL TURN TO THE VOID

FUCK! I don't have time for this! I need to get away from these....

GIVE ME CONTROL. I WILL GIVE YOU FREEDOM.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" I yell as they start to tear the flesh from me.

HURRY YOU FOOL. BEFORE YOU FADE.

"FINE! JUST DO IT ALREADY!"

PERFECT

I shake my head as I stare at the mass of creatures devouring Miles. No...... he can't be dead. He just.... DAMN IT! Why did I go to the group first! Miles needed me and I let him down and now.... and now....

"HAHAHAHAHA FINALLY!" I look back to see black tendrils shoot from the group of creatures, turning them to black wisps. Miles gets up.... but is using the black tendrils to do so. There seem to be three tendrils per portal. In addition to that, he seems to have the black wispy stuff pouring out from his mouth and eyes. He's using almost all of the tendrils to hold himself in the air, leaving the ones from his hands to run over his body to heal his woulds. He has all of the lines on his body showing, though they seem different. They're all jagged and.... not straight.

"MILES!" I yell in joy as I fly towards him. He seems a lot scarier, but it's still Miles. So... "WHOA!" I yell as I dodge a black tendril. "What the heck Miles!"

"DO NOT INSULT MY POWER!" He snaps back in a raspy voice. "I am Corpus Glasius." He says before he takes off for the cliff, using the tendrils to move through the street.

"Wait! Who's corpus Glacius? What happen to Miles. WE NEED TO GO THAT WAY!" I yell as I point towards the P.C.H. He ignores me and jumps off the cliff. I fly after him and watch as he uses the tendrils to latch onto buildings and start to crawl away, leaving a trail of black wisps. "Mi.... I mean Corpus, where are you going?" I ask from a distance.

"Where ever I please. That fool gave me control, so now I will do what I please." He yells back as he continues to jump from building to building. Several of the green mounds come to life, having a couple of the green creatures crawl out of them and charge at Miles... or Corpus. Mi... Cor.... he just sends tendrils through them turning them to black wisps.

"But... what about the others?" I ask as he continues to flail the tendrils around, killing creature after creature.

"I care not." Aw just....

"Well, if your scared of the creatures that's fine..."

"I FEAR NOTHING!" He yells back. I just turn away from him an start to fly away from him slowly.

"Its alright, being scared is just a part of life. Now go do whatever it is you're doing while I go face the danger and save our friends. BYE!" Before he could answer I fly up and begin to fly towards the P.C.H. Hopefully he's as gullible as Miles is-

THUD

I spin around to see him hovering right over me, glaring daggers at me.

"Lead me to the danger." He says.

"Yes sir." I say as I speed off for the P.C.H. OK, that was freaky. I glance back to see him chasing after me... but two of the tendrils from his back are missing. I look back forward and start to search for the group, by looking for the giant creature. I find it about half way to the P.C.H., tearing buildings from the ground as it tries to get to something. "Think you can handle that?" I ask as I stop and hover in place.

"Does Anima Ignis have his head up his ass?" He says flatly says flatly as he races towards the giant. The giant see's him almost immediately and charges at him. I watch as Miles... or Corpus, sends out tendrils and wraps them around the giant as it tries to grab him. The creature continues to shrink as Corpus dodges his attacks. As they fight, a mob of creatures begin to form underneath them, trying to reach Miles.

A shiny speckle catches my attention. I look back down to see the group crossing a street, trying to get to the P.C.H. I fly as fast as my wings will carry me, trying to get to them as quickly as possible.

"GUYS!" I yell as I crash before them. Twilight and Fluttershy are missing, but other then that and a few scraps and bruises they seem fine.

"Rainbow! RUN!" Storm yells as they continue to run down the street, passing me. I look back to see a group of the creatures chasing them, so I turn and run with them.

"Everything OK?" I ask as I catch up with Storm.

"Well... bites take away magic apparently.... hows Miles?" I glance back to where he was and see the black tendrils waving in the air.

"He's fine.... kind of... hes giving us cover right now..... kind of. It was a real close call with him, but he pulled through." I yell back as Storm starts to take to the air.

"I'm going to fly ahead and meet up with Twilight and Fluttershy. Can you lead the rest to the P.C.H.?"

"You can count on me." I yell back, getting a nod from him as he flies off.

"TWITCHY TAIL, TWITCHY TAIL!" Pinkie yells right before something crashes behind us. Rarity lets out a high pitched scream as I look back to see Miles killing the last of the creatures. He's down to only four of the tendrils now.

"Its alright! It's just Miles... kind of. Just keep running!" I yell as I quicken my pace. We need to regroup with everypony and get the heck out of here.

After nearly an hour of straight running, mostly fueled by adrenaline, we finally make it to the base of the P.C.H., where everypony collapses from exhaustion. I look over to Miles to see the last tendril fade away, making him drop to the ground and pass out. I try to get up, but my legs wont work for me right now. I glance up to see Storm and Fluttershy flying towards us, Storm carrying Twilight. Wait.. Fluttershy is flying, that's good. I'd be more enthusiastic about it... I'm just too tired right now.

"AH!" Miles yells as he wakes up suddenly. "What happened? How did I get here? Why am I so cold?..... where are my clothes?" He asks as he stands up and looks around.

"Miles! You're alive!" Twilight says as they land before us. "We were so worried ab...."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Mils screams as his magic maxes out and he falls to the ground.

"Miles! Whats wrong?" Storm ask as they circle around him.

"NO! NOOOOOOO! NOT NOW! GET AWAY FROM ME! BACK UP DAMMIT!" He yells as he flails around.

"Miles.... are you..."

"IT'S ANOTHER CHANGE!"

I watch helplessly as Miles convulses around. We're so close to our objective. What do we do now?

"What's happening to him?" Rarity asks as she shakily stands up.

"He's going through a change right now. His power is growing again." I explain as I watch him twist and yell in pain.

"Isn't there anything we could do?" She asks as she joins our sides and watches him twist around.

"No. The only thing we could do is to get out of here and..."

"What! But we're so close right now. How could you say we should leave when..."

"Becuase, Rarity, we can't operate his machinery. He's the only one who can make that stuff work and he's... well, you know."

"What if we just wait until he wakes..."

"Last time this happened he was out for a day. And he told me that these things will get worse and worse as he get more and more powerful. We need to get him out of here and to safety. We all need to get to safety." I say as I look around to see all of the tired members of our group.

"But..."

"No buts. Know somepony levitate him so we can carry him back to the door." I say, getting Twilight to pick him up. She makes it a few steps before he suddenly drops to the ground.

"I don't believe it. He burned through my aura field. I can't carry him." Twilight says.

Shout out to Liun for picking who took control of Miles! Thanks for the new cover art! If you are currently making another one, don't stop, I will always take them into consideration and if I can't ever choose one, then you guys can vote on it! Brony on!
