"Well, we're definitely not going to catch up with aerial transportation." said Twilight.

"Well then, what do you suggest, Twi?" asked Applejack, who was sitting with Twilight in the chariot.

"It's simple, I'll just teleport us all." Twilight told her friend.

"You sure you're up to this?" questioned Applejack.

"Trust me, Applejack." assured her Twilight.

"Brace yourself, everypony!" she shouted to the guards and the other chariot.

"Huh?" was all that Rainbow Dash managed to say before they all teleported.

Back to Ruby

Ruby was walking through the streets, humming yet another song, when she realised the ponies were... staring at her! She noticed one of the ponies flee to a near guard to warn him.

"There's a monster in town! shouted the pony from far away.

And then the guard noticed her.

And then he took out some black device with glass over a small, red button.

And then he pressed the button.

And then an alarm sounded through the whole city, and many Royal Guards and a few Night Guards came from many streets, surrounding her.

"Sixty seven, sixty eight, sixty nine, that's a bad number... oh! Here's another bat, that makes seventy." she counted out loud.

"A little unfair, don't you gentlemen think?

A little unfair for you." she added, just to sound intimidating.

"Attack!" shouted some important-looking, big earth pony in red full armor, that covered him from the tip of his mane, to hooves with spikes on shoulders, dragging a BIG hammer with one hoof.

"Not even a little diplomacy? I like that, didn't have a serious fight in too long." she said to herself, because obviously more than twenty four hours is too long (duh!).

One of the threstrals flew fast at her, but she caught his snout with her hand, lifted him overhead (with one hand!) and slammed him in the ground.

Then three royal guards lunged at her with spears, and when they were about to stab her, she disappeared, leaving an extra amount of rose petals, just to confuse, and with a little luck, blind them, she appeared behind them, grabbed one by the helmet, then another, and slammed their heads, she crabbed the third one, and with the butt of the spear, she knocked the guard out.

"Okaay... get her!" said the red 'tank', pointing at her with his hammer and looking at his subordinates.

"Two earth ponies with Zweihoofers approached her, while a pegasus was holding and unicorn in the air, who was readying up a blast of magic, one of the newest strategies in the military, it was simply called 'surprise'.

That did get her attention, she took out her shotgun, toned it's damage just a bit to not kill her enemies (they weren't monsters which had no soul, after all.), and shot the pegasi holding the unicorn, they both crashed in one of the Zweihoofer wielding ponies, and the other one took a serious battle stance, challenging her to a fair fight.

She smiled as he seperated one half of the shotgun, hid one of the halves, and the other one unfolded into a small scythe, about double the size of the Zweihoofer. Let me explain, as you see, the ponies are small, I would go and say that they are tiny, so they have small weapons, a two-hoofed sword is the size of a short sword, and Ruby's scythe, Crescent Rose? It was double the size of a Zweihander.

The pony lunged at her with his sword, but she parried, raised the scythe, and cut the guard's glove off, watching out trying not to cut off his hoof. The guard in surprise dropped his sword, she grabbed him, and threw him at the pile of other guards.

"Everyone, attack at once!" the, most presumably, earth pony captain, maybe even a major?

She activated her semblence, while the guards all were in the air, lunging at her, she flew to them, at VERY fast speeds, dispatched ten in flight, flew to another group, and took out ten more.

'Forty two left, gotta speed up, Twilight's already probably teleporting her and her friends already, and I want to fight this...' well, she couldn't call him a red bastard, because her dominant colour was red, so she simply decided to call him

'Ponywick.' because he reminded her a lot of Roman Torchwick. And the guards the incompetent henchmen hired from Junior.

She took out the second half of her scythe, neatly folded, she also folded the other part, she put them together, and unfolded the giant scythe, loaded it with a magazine with a black cross on the side of it into her scythe, and shot the ground with it, she was unnoticable, she took out at least twenty guards, while shooting to get more and more speed, until 'Ponywick' told them to retreat and stand before him, she stood before the around two dozen guards, and the guard were looking at her with fear, and... respect?

They obviously noticed they had not chances, so they opened the way to their leader, he walked (towering over them) and neared her, stopping around a hundred feet from her. Suddenly three pegasi with knives flew from behind him, and jumped at her.

She dispatched the rest of the guards, who then attacked her, and looked around for 'Ponywick', but she couldn't find him. She groaned when she noticed him climbing on a ladder, she dashed to the building he was climbing on, jumped on it and faced him.

"Persistent..." he said, before jumping from the building, she started walking towards the edge of the building, but a chariot suddenly flew from below, with 'Ponywick' on it, an unicorn guard sitting with him, but she had an unusual red and yellow mane, and a light, creamy yellow coat, she readied up her horn, and shot a blast of fire from it.

But this time, there was no Proffesor Goodwitch to help her. She had to do it alone.

She jumed above the fireball, shot it in midair, and from the blast launched herself at the charriot, she kicked the unicorn, knocking her out, and grabbed the red, metal boulder and jumped out of the chariot, on the streets below, they crashed, 'Ponywick' below, but he kicked her off him, she landed in front of him as he got up, and he charged at her, she jumped above him, and he hit a lamp with his hammer, the lamp then broke in half.

He dropped his hammer, grabbed half of the lamp in the air and threw it at her, she dodged it, and lunged at him with her scythe, she knocked him back, and picked up his hammer, and hit him so hard with it that his helmet fell off, and he was knocked out cold.

"Good night,"

then she snickered, which obviously was a bad sign.

"Romane Ponywick." and then she burst out laughing.

"That wasn't a bad joke, you know?" asked a feminine, mature voice from behind her, that made her actually calm down.

What she noticed made her jaw drop, behind her were standing two divine creatures, one white, on eye level with her, with a flowing rainbow mane and tail, with a sun mark on her flank, the other one was smaller, with a transparent, blue mane and tail with stairs in it, she had a mark of the moon on her flank, they had both wings and horns.

'Are those the Princesses? I can see why, if someone like this strolled in my city of which I'd be a mayor of, I'd crown them immediately.'

"Why, thank you." the white one replied, her horn glowing, but Ruby didn't say anythi--.

'Oh crap.'
