After Rumble told us what had happened my dad, Twilight and the other five mares, shot off towards the Diamond Dogs hideout. They told the rest of us to stay there and wait for us to return. Spike, Scootaloo, Applebloom and myself followed far behind them, knowing ourselves where they were heading. We stayed in the bushes when we got to the clearing, not wanting to be seen by any of the adults.

The dogs were going to pay... After their capture of Rarity not to long ago I was pissed that they would try this shit again...The six mares were following behind me, giving me plenty of leeway when coming into the clearing. I instantly saw where the holes were for the Diamond dog caverns... And they knew I was there.

"Girls, Stay here for a moment... If any of them make a run for it, knock-em out..." The girls nodded sheepishly to me, they could tell I was pissed beyond belief, the fact that my voice was deadpan and my face was blanker than Celestia's on a day in court spoke volumes.

I drew my force baton and waited for the dogs to appear, I didn't need to wait long. Five of them jumped out of the holes surrounding me, I didn't care.

"Where is the white unicorn filly and the white earth pony... Tell me and I won't hurt you... ...Too much..." I flexed my fingers around the hilt of my force baton getting a better feel for it. The largest of the dogs stepped forward, he had on some black grey armor that faintly resembled the Royal Guards armor... just more beaten and made for a biped. It matched his dirty grey coat, he also had a scar running don the left side of his face.

"I'z got's no stinkin pon'es! an if weh did weh wouldn givem tah ya!" he sneered at me, slobber flying from his maw.

"Hand over the little ones... NOW!" My voice boomed over the clearing, making everyone present cover their ears. I thumbed the activation stud on the force baton and waited for their response.

"Yah an't gettin ahny thin' f'om us!" the far right one snarled. "Yeah!" one of the ones on my left squeaked. Each of these dogs was wearing similar armor to the leader... except that theirs were more battered and scared than his.

"Fine... If you won't hand them over peaceably... I'll just take them from you..." The one with a squeaky voice jumped towards me, swung his swords down towards my head as he fell. I lashed out with my force baton and cracked it across his sternum and head in two quick blows, breaking several of his ribs and knocking him out cold. He fell to the ground in a heap... It only took three seconds.

"Is that all you got?" I smirked at them, I raised my left hand and gave them the universal 'bring-it' sign.

"Get 'im!" three of the other charged at me. The first had a club and swung it towards my head, I struck out my left hand and blasted him with the force, sending him flying across the clearing and into one of the holes. The other two tried jumping me from behind, I spun around and cracked them across the ribs several times, using the force to guide my movements and speed them up. Several loud 'CRACKS' were heard and they dropped their weapons and clutched their now broken ribs.

Die!" The leader rushed towards me, hefting a broad sword, he swung and nicked my arm as I spun away. I lashed out with the baton again, but he deftly blocked it with his broad sword. He swung his sword down towards my head, I parried it to the left and stepped in close and concentrated a blast of Force energy into his stomach. shooting him back a few feet. I jumped through the air after him. he quickly got up and lashed out with his sword, I caught it on the tip of my baton and flew back with the force of the swing. I flipped through the air and landed on the balls of my feet, skidding back I reached out and held myself up with a hand on the ground.

"Punay cre'tcha, cahn't evahn stan ahn shwing from mah maighta shword!" (Translation: "Puny creature, can't even stand one swing from my mighty sword!") The Leader bellowed, laughing like a maniac he rushed towards me, sword held up at his shoulder and pointed towards me.

At the last second I bashed away his sword and elbowed him in the face, knocking him flat on his ass. I placed my booted foot on his right wrist and ground in the heal, making him release his sword.

"Now... Are you going to tell me where the children are..." I took my foot off and quickly placed it on his throat, "Or will I have to make you talk?"

"TH-thest in the lowesh parsht... now lest megh go!" (Translation: "They're in the lowest part, now let me go!") He wheezed from under my boot, I quickly released him and blasted him with a bit of force energy, knocking him out cold.

"Let's go girls... we don't have much time..." The girls ran over and nodded, Fluttershy slightly kicked one of the dogs as she passed, making me raise an eyebrow at her outburst, I filled that away for later. "Sorry for letting you all watch that..." The girls expressed their feelings, all of which were about how they couldn't have done a better job of not truly harming any of the dogs less than I did.

"Yes Darling, They were brutes and they have MY sister, I would never begrudge you for hurting somepony to get her back... thank you dear." she nuzzled my side, so I rubbed her ear slightly.

"I-i ju-just can't believe th-that they would d-do something like this after last time..." Fluttershy said as she glared at one of the twitching bodies. She was pissed... Note to elf, talk to Fluttershy later about her anger...

"If any of you wish to stay here and wait for m to come back with the little ones... I understand, but if you want to go, let's go now." They all nodded their heads, so I jumped in the hole closest to us and helped the others down safely.

"Off we go! Right Reiky?" Pinkie said to me as she bounced about in a circle around us.

"Right you are Pinkie, right you are... Lets go" and we walked off into the tunnels.

My dad... just beat up FIVE Diamond dogs... in under a minute... DANG!

"Luna, your dad's awesome!" Scootaloo told me with a slight look of astonishment painted on her face, just like the rest of my friends. Save spike... he was looking at the hole everyone had just gone down, most likely thinking of a way we could get in and not be seen by the grownups...

"Okay, Luna, the two of us will go in while scoots and Ab stay here and watch the exit," He looked from me to the other two. "You two will be making sure we get out... if we aren't out in twenty minutes, go get help... other than that, stay hidden." We all nodded our heads, this was going to be one of our first 'ops' like what my dad would tell us stories of.

"OK Spike, Luna, go get t'em!" AB cheered as the two of us as we made a mad dash for the closest hole. WE dived in and landed gracefully on our feet. We looked about, making sure our landing wasn't heard before taking off. Dad had taught me a trick to feeling for life energies... But what he didn't know was that I had attuned this technique out side of practice... I had hung out with my friends so much that I could sense their own personal energies...

"Where to Luna?" Spike asked me as we looked about.

"We go this way... Stay close, there are others this way..." We may have been acting professional... But we were scared out of our hides at what we were doing... The only thing we had going for us was Mine and Spikes magic and his sharp claws, which weren't that sharp.

"Okay." he nodded and we shot off down the tunnel to our right. Racing down the dimly lit tunnels we came across a larger room with a gem-light in the ceiling, it gave off a light blue light and illuminated the room perfectly. We stayed in the shadows, we saw two Diamond dogs leaning against the far tunnel entrance, talking about something.

"What should we do?" I asked Spike. He rubbed his chin in thought before responding.

"Well, we could knock out the light and sneak by..." He gave me a wry grin, knowing that I would be the one hitting the light.

"Oh fine, But next time it's your job." I smirked and shot a small beam, pulverizing the gem-light. The dogs yelped and jumped at the sound and began flailing around in the darkness. But thanks to mine and Spikes relative night vision we got through without bumping into them.

We made turn after turn, bypassing different areas that had higher energy counts as we made our towards Sweetie and Feather. The tunnels were getting bigger the deeper we went, surprising as it usually is the other way around...

"Something's wrongs Spike... We need to hurry!" We shot off down the, running as fast as our little legs could carry us. I felt a Diamond Dog coming, I told Spike and we got ready. Still running as fast as we could we came upon it. I launched spike in the air, spinning him like a top as he lashed out with his claws and gored the Dogs face. As Spike landed I launched a beam of pure energy at the Dog, hitting it square in the chest. The Dog fell on its back and screamed as we made our way further into the tunnels.

"And stay down!" I kicked the Dog in the head, knocking him out. The girls were busy fighting off several other Dogs that snuck up on us while we were moving. Twilight blasted her opponent with a stun spell before deftly bucking him upside the head, sending him flying backwards to the floor. Fluttershy ran while being chased by three Dogs, which were taken care of by me and twilight. Pinkie fired her party canon at several Diamond dogs before bucking another one in the crotch, doubling him over in pain. Rainbow and AJ tag teamed a lone Dog, cracking him in the head and knocking his legs out from under him.

After another few minutes of handing out beat downs we were done.

"Twilight... I need you to take Fluttershy and AJ down the left corridor." I pointed to them and then the tunnel entrance, they sped off in a hurry, knowing what they were going to do. "Rarity, take Pinkie and Rainbow and head down the right corridor..."

"Very well dear, may Celestia guide you" She smiled before they shot off down the tunnel, were were close to where her sister was... But after hearing some of what the dogs were saying... I didn't want any of the girls there just in case... I... did some things... that is why I sent them out in two very different directions than what her sister was...

There was a third tunnel in the room... and it was right in front of me.. It led directly to the main chamber... the lowest place in the mine... and where Sweetie and Feather would be located. I marched down the corridor, drawing my lightsaber and igniting the dark purple blade, I wasn't going to go easy on these hut-slime if they harmed them...

(Warning, Major Gore scene coming up along with Psychotic rage mode... If you wish to skip scroll to the next line break.)

I emerged from the mouth of the tunnel; I was around ten feet from the ground floor overlooking the massive chamber. On the far side, there were hundreds of piles of gems and gold, along with other trinkets of value, each pile was over ten feet high easily. At the center of the room was a massive long table, like what you would find in a royal palace, there was food stacked high all up and down its length. Along each side were about twenty Diamond Dogs, all decked out in armor and weapons of all sizes, ranging from short swords to maces, to great swords and even a poleaxe or two.

I looked about and noticed that there were bodies... bodies of ponies, all of which smaller than what constituents adults here... I lost myself to the darkness then. My eyes turned sickly yellow and the air around me got heavier , even the light darkened in my presence then.

As I stood there, my blade drew their leader’s attention. He was a Chakaar by any means... (Grave robber/ Thief) He sat on a large golden throne, it was surrounded by piles and chests of gold. He over looked the table of foodstuffs in front of him and the Dogs seated there. He saw me and he... was AFRAID...

"GRR, GET HIM!" he shouted, drawing the dog’s attention in my direction. the guard dogs (no the irony was not lost on me) got up and ran at me, drawing their weapons as they charged.

I stepped forward and used the force to glide down to the floor. The first one I took down by bisecting him from shoulder to thigh, I kept walking towards their leader as I cut them down. The next one I decapitated with a cross swing and the one after him I cut down with the back swing, just above the elbows, cutting him in half while disarming him. The next three I roasted in their armor with a full blast of force lightning, flaying the skin from their muscles and then that from their bones... leaving three armored husks in their place. After that, I tossed my lightsaber with the force and skewered the next one; I then used the force to crush the heads of the two dogs next to him, killing them all instantly. I drew my lightsaber back and kept at them. Five came at once, all swinging their maces and swords at various parts of my body... I killed them with their own armor, crushing their bodies into bloody pulp. One came at me with a poleaxe; I cut the end off as I dodged it and used the force to lodge it in the dog's crotch. I walked up to him and made an X on his body... after a second he was drawn and quartered on the ground.

There were six left then... two on my left and right with the last two in front of me. I flashed out my hand and grabbed hold of the left most one and snapped his spin and flung him into the ceiling, impaling him on a stalactite. The one next to him I killed by bending him in half while twisting his neck. The other four were so stunned by their comrade’s quick deaths that they never took the chance to strike me, giving me the time to turn on them as well. I flashed over to the guys on my right and took off their legs with my saber and then their arms and head. There were no screams form any of them as they fell... I looked over to the last two and saw that they were running... I couldn't have that, so I flung my saber at the one on the left, It landed in the back of his head... hilt first, buried up to the activation stud. The other one... the other one I killed viciously... I pulled him over and laid him on the ground before me, face up so he could see his killer.

He stared at me with fearful eyes... while I stared back with unforgiving hateful eyes... ready to kill him.

"I will hear you bleed DOG and I will enjoy the sweet agonies you will create!" I laughed manically as I grabbed hold of his left arm, placing my left leg on his chest, and pulled... He screamed as I pulled on his arm... using the force to augment my strength. After a few seconds more I pulled the fucker right off his body, and tossed the offending limb off towards the leaders seat. At this point, his screams were unbearable to hear... and were music to my demented ears. I then grabbed hold of his legs and pulled with the force as I kept his body stationary. I pulled them in opposite directions... and yanked them clean from his body, trailing blood and other fluids with them...

"SCREAM, BITCH. SCREAM, I WANT TO HEAR YOU SCREAM! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" My words echoed off the vaulted ceilings, making me sound even crazier.

I then grabbed hold of his last remaining limb with both my hands, I looked him in his crazed eyes and smiled, I took it off in one go, taking part of his chest cavity with it. He screamed and bled everywhere, his blood was flowing all over the ground I stood on, making it a slick track, turning the brown dirt black with his blood. I held his arm and legs aloft and laughed hysterically at his bleeding ravaged form, taking extreme pleasure from his pain. Finally, I stopped and looked at him, smiling even wider than before.

"Hey buddy oh mine... Wanna see something I got for ya?" I asked, Grinning even wider when he shook his head, he had stopped screaming by then... just blabbering and trying to breath... granted that might be a problem since part of his lung was ripped off when I took his right arm. I stared down at his chest and lashed out a hand, It went straight through his armor, acting as if it were butter. I dug around in the Dogs chest, worming my way through his organs until I found my prize, after what felt like eternity my hand wrapped around a cylindrical Shape inside him... and I pulled... I hulled as hard as I could... even harder than when I used the force, and it gave I had a hold on his spine, HIS SPINE and I had pulled it through his chest and out to the forefront of his body... and I was showing it to him as he died.

"Look buddy! I got you a SPINE! To bad I had to dig it out of your chest... It took so long too! Well here you go bud!" I smiled manically, pulled it the rest of the way out, and tossed it on his still warm carcass. I summoned my saber back to my hand before confronting the quivering form of their leader on his throne.

"Next is you..." I point to the Dog's leader, "IF you don't tell me where the little white unicorn and white earth pony are... THIS VERY INSTANT!" I was augmenting my voice with the force so much that it sounded demonic and twisted beyond comparison.

"I-I don know where mah meen put theem!" The leader cried from his seat, his whimpering and sobbing grated on my nerves... Making me want to kill him all the more.

"Then you have failed yourself" I say as the lightsaber flies towards him blade first... it lands soundlessly, the blade jutting from the back of his skull.

"Now... let's go find them..." I recalled my lightsaber and set off to find the children.

We had just gotten Sweetie and Feather out of their cages, causing as much havoc as we could wit the guards in there as we could. We were all heading down the tunnel back to one of the major intersections when I felt my fathers aura... It was different from usual... It was dark, malevolent and hateful... It frightened me and the others... even though Feather wasn't able to use magic he could feel it.

"Luna, what IS that!?" Spike asked as we all leaned against the walls for support from the dark aura.

"That's my dad... and he's pissed..." Sweetie and Feather looked at me strangely for the language before nodding their heads in understanding.

"OK, we need to get out of here... I don't want you dad to find us... but..." Before he could continue the roof caved in and several bodies fell down right in front of us. It was Rarity, Pinkie, and Rainbow, along with a few Diamond dogs, whom were unconscious.

"Rarity! Rainbow! Pinkie!" We all yelled as we gathered around them, they had several bruises ad cuts on them, nothing to serious.

"Oh goodness gracious! Sweetie, I thought I lost you!" Rarity embraced Sweetie with a vengeance and didn't let her go for about minute.

"Sorry Rar's, but we got to go, NOW!" Spike said while pushing the older mares down the tunnel, the rest of us, save Sweetie, were holding up the rear, making sure nothing snuck up on us.

"Rainbow, get up, we need to go!" I yelled to them as i saw a few Diamond Dogs jump down into the tunnel.

"I got ya Squirt!" Rainbow shot up and smacked the Dogs few times up side the head before racing back over and helping us get down the tunnel faster.

We ran down corridors and tunnels, making turn after turn as we raced towards the exit. We tripped over Diamond dogs left and right, beating them back with quick hooves and faster running. At one point we came across twilight and the rest, and after a good amount of shouting and arguing, we made our way back to the main tunnel. We galloped down and around and even under some of the tunnels support beams as we made our way for the exits.

It took us nearly an hour to get out, but we finally made it... we all climbed out and sprawled our selves out on the ground. Not really caring for how we had almost gotten killed several times while being down there. As we lay there, gasping for air, a loud 'BOOM' was heard and then the ground shook. Suddenly parts of the surrounding area began to collapse in on themselves, caving in the tunnel system below.

"Everyone RUN!" I yelled as we made our way for the forest.

As the ground kept falling in, I noticed an area that was slowly forming, like a platform out of the ground. As I stared at it I saw my dad float up on a large dirt platform that he was floating a large piece of rock over as a shield. As he floated up above the ground he started to move toward us, I looked over to the site of the sink hole... I was shocked to see a massive hole in the ground where the Diamond Dog mines used to be... they were all gone... Nothing was left of the brutish creeps.

Suddenly, my dads platform broke apart and he went tumbling down to the earth. He landed chst first and skidded to a halt less than a foot from me and Spike.

"Daddy!"
