At the hole where the Cutie Mark Crusaders came out with their robot, two soldiers were investigating the mess, suspicious as they spoke about it. Suddenly, some powder got on the two, the soldiers getting confused; One of them gasped, screaming, “No, no, NOT SPIDERS!!! GET THEM OFF, GET THEM OFF!” “No, Loki, please! Don’t kill us! We’ll never fail you again!” The other soldier whimpered. Apparently, they were afraid by nothing.
The Resistance showed up, amazed at the soldiers panicking at nothing whatsoever. Cheerilee asked Zecora with an impressed expression, “Zecora, what did you do to them?” “It’s my fear powder that triggers hallucinations of his or her worst fear, but no worries, I only use it on enemies.” Zecora answered, smiling.
The group quickly went through the hole, the Lizard Giant 6000 leading the way. The Resistance looked amazed at the inventions that Flim and Flam had created. “Incredible, these are Flim and Flam’s inventions? Awesome!” Soarin’ exclaimed. “Yeah.” Sparkler nodded in agreement as she yelped at seeing the description for The Ford Trooper 4000. “That tank needs a little work though.” “But these machines look perfect!” Bon-Bon grinned. “Yeah, we can swipe them and use them as our own!” Sweetie Belle called out from inside the machine.
“Quickly, we have to do so.” Private Katoptris commanded, watching the Resistance get into their machines. Suddenly, outside near a window, they heard angry yelling just outside of the ruins. Cherry Berry yelped as she asked, “W-What was that?” The scene showed the outside of the ruins where everything appears to fine, except for one event. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The ponies and baby dragon screamed as they landed from their out of control blast on a pile of snow which was randomly there for some reason. After they landed, the heroes popped their heads out of the surface and were gasping for air while recovering from the surprise event that happened to them.
“Ugh, is everypony alright?” Twilight asked. “If by fine, ya mean crashed landed in snow that saved our lives from serious impact, then sure!” Applejack answered, shaking some of the snow off of her hat. “Well, at least the snow’s wet vapor can clean the filth we got from the battle.” Rarity shrugged. “That was a surprise; I didn’t think Pinkie’s party cannon would blast us all the way here from where we were.” Fluttershy commented in surprise. “Um, sorry…it was my bad.” Pinkie sighed sadly. “Yeah, that blast was so powerful that even Pegasi couldn’t regain their balance to fly straight.” Rainbow commented as she took off above her friends’ spot. “Twilight, what should we do?” Spike asked. “Go look for my clone in the ruins or go capture the Red Devil?”
“Spike, I’m sure we can find your clone, but the Red Devil is in no shape to go anywhere.” Twilight reassured her assistant. RUMBLE…Suddenly, the ground began shaking. “EARTHQUAKE!!!” Pinkie screamed in shock. “How can there be an Earthquake in the Everfree Forest?” Rainbow asked in curiosity. “I don’t know, but ya’ll stay together!” Applejack commanded to her friends. Suddenly, the fight with Loki stopped from all the shaking and they heard something truly shocking. Shining Armor exclaimed in shock, “Steel Hooves, do you hear that?!” “Eeyup and I wish I haven’t!” Big Macintosh yelled with a worried expression. “It looks like he has lost it after all…” Loki chuckled devilishly. “What? Who lost it?!” Shining Armor demanded angrily. This only made the villain smile evilly.
“Would you not like to know?”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Rarity screamed, dodging falling trees along with her friends. Then, Fluttershy noticed a bunch of crows flying away.
“Something is scaring the animals away. I can feel it, something isn’t right.” She said with a concerned expression. “Well, of course anything would be scared, but this shaking couldn’t do it at all! Right?” Twilight mused. Suddenly, Pinkie was acting strange by making weird sounds and random movements which caught their attention. This got everypony worried that the infamous Pinkie Sense was in the works.
“Oh great, Pinkie’s sense are goin’ up again!” Applejack groaned in annoyance. “But that usually means that something’s going to happen, right?” Spike asked as he recalled the last time Pinkie used it. Suddenly, as the pink pony stopped, she felt her surroundings and heard something in the distance and it was an angry yell. “What the?” Pinkie questioned, listening closer. “Oh my Celestia! It’s ‘Attack on Alcatraz’ from X-Men: The Last Stand!”
“Uh, come again, Pinkie?” Rainbow asked before Pinkie got in her face. “THAT’S IT! MY PINKIE SENSE IS TELLING ME THAT TROUBLE IS HEADING OUR WAY!” Pinkie shouted. “Pinkie, what’s coming our way?” Twilight asked in confusion. Suddenly, the pink Earth Pony’s eyes widened as she saw a familiar looking somepony coming their way. “THAT! HIM!” She screamed in horror. Soon, the figure dashed out of the woods as the heroes looked to see…”Sweet Apple Acres!” Applejack exclaimed. “Is that…The Red Devil?” Twilight asked in shock. “Is he…angry at us?” Fluttershy whimpered. “I say yes by the looks of it…” Spike nodded. “THE RED DEVIL IS NO MORE, SHELAS! I’M THE BLACK DEVIL NOW!!!” General Shield Strike yelled angrily at the heroes.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HE CHANGED HIS NAME!!!” Rarity screamed in horror. General Shield Strike began throwing his spears wildly as the Main Six and Spike dodged them rapidly. “Girls, Spike, this is bad. It seems that the Black Devil or whatever he’s called now has turned to destruction without even thinking.” Twilight explained to her friends.
“Hold it! I think I know how to solve this!” Pinkie exclaimed as she aimed her party cannon in the general’s direction. “Pinkie, what if what happened earlier happens—“ Spike began, but was cut off by Pinkie. “FIRE!” Pinkie shouted out loud, firing a shot. BOOM! The cannon hit General Shield Strike in the chest, sending him stumbling backwards. “Wait! Look at the reaction the Black Devil’s showing!” Twilight pointed out in worry. “I’M NOT GIVING UP! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU WHEN I HAVE THE CHANCE!” General Shield Strike roared out. “Let me try this again! FIRE!” Pinkie yelled. She fired another shot which caused him to back up.
“Pinkie, let me handle this. I think I can perform a spell that’ll defeat him.” Twilight told her. She ran up to General Shield Strike and yelled, “You’re done, Black Devil!” Twilight fired a spell at General Shield Strike, but that didn’t slow him down. “Wait, Twilight! I’ve got this!” Spike exclaimed with a determined expression. “No, Spike!” Twilight yelled. “We can do this together! You gotta trust me!” Spike said. He began launching fire balls while Twilight was firing spells. Then, Rainbow and Fluttershy helping Pinkie with the party cannon and were attacking the general. “FIRE!” Pinkie commanded as Rainbow and Fluttershy pulled the trigger. BOOOM!
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” General Shield Strike screamed, being sent flying. “I can’t believe we did it…we just defeated the strongest warrior in all of Equestria!” Rainbow gasped. “Awesome!” Rose was looking at the battle through a telescope at the window. Zecora asked, “Rose! How’s the battle?”
“It was the Red Devil, he lost his temper over losing, but Twilight and her friends have defeated him.” Rose explained. “That means that they’re now out of the ruins!” Caramel exclaimed in realization. “But do they have the Elements?” Apple Bloom asked from inside the machine. Private Katoptris looked through the telescope, saying, “Twilight’s looking through her saddlebag and…wait, there they are! They have the Elements! Our mission is complete!”
“Awwww man! We didn’t even try the new weapons yet!” Soarin’ pouted in disappointment. “Oh brother…” Spitfire chuckled at Soarin’ playfully. “Gather everything you can! I must tell Captain Shining!” Private Katoptris commanded. “Why will you not just die?!” Loki snapped in annoyance, firing spells at Shining Armor who flipped at fired spells back. “I was just asking the same about you.” Shining Armor remarked. “Are you no better than me? You would become a murderer? If that’s the case, what is the difference between us?” Loki asked slyly.
“I have the determination and will to win! Besides, I’m not like you!”
“Oh please!”
As the battle raged on, the theme from the Mortal Kombat video games began playing. Loki fired a spell at Shining Armor who dodged it. He scoffed a bit and fired another spell, slamming it right into the heroes. Loki then clashed horns with his enemy before laughing madly and flying up into the air as if asking, ‘you’re kidding, right?’. Suddenly, he bucked Shining Armor in the chest which caused the captain to stumble backwards.
“Any last words?” Loki asked with a smirk. Shining Armor just glared at him in anger. Loki remarked evilly, “Actually, I think I shall finish you as well as the Royal Guards. I will defeat you the same way I defeated the Elements of Harmony!” Shining Armor and Big Macintosh became worried, seeing Loki smiling evilly.
“Troops, move out!” Shining Armor commanded his guards. Private Katoptris gave them the signal just in time for them to escape. Loki noticed this, much to his fury. “NO!” Loki snapped in anger. Shining Armor quickly fired a spell at him and took off. “That’ll slow him down.” He commented in relief. Loki got up and saw this, getting angered even further. “Grr…no! You will not get away from me this time!” He yelled. Loki pointed to two soldiers nearby while the armor vanished from his body as he continued, “You two fools, with me!”
“What do you want from us, my Lord?” One soldier asked in curiosity.
“Find the other members of my army. They must be informed about what has happened!”
During this time, the other members of Loki’s army were watching from a nearby area. Trixie exclaimed, “I think he needs us!”
“Then, let’s see what he wants!” Rover said with a concerned expression. “Uh, any idea?” Spot asked. “I don’t know!” Fido answered. “Maybe he’s killed Twilight and her friends, who knows what else he did?” Discord shrugged. “I could agree with that.” Gilda nodded. “Luckily, my brother and I built something that can help just in case the Royal Guards show up to arrest us.” Flim said thoughtfully. “Flam, the teleportation device!”
“Right here, brother!” Flam declared as he held it out. The other members of the army stared in amazement before they used the device to teleport off. Loki and his soldiers flew around the ruins (the unicorn soldier levitated himself), but there was no sign of them. “Oh, just leave them. They are probably planning our next strategy now as we speak.” Loki groaned. “This is not good…my clone did not do it’s work after all.”
Yes, it turned out that the Loki, Shining Armor, Big Macintosh, and Spike were facing was actually a clone that the original one sent while he was busy elsewhere. The fake Loki faded into the darkness to alert the real one what had happened…
