"That's close enough!" Exclaimed Sunset, brandishing a sledgehammer. "So we finally meet, uh..." The evil grin slid off of her face to be replaced by an expression of confusion.

"Cloud," I helped her. She glared at me.

"Shut up! I know what I'm doing!" She went back to her evil grin. She seems very... Expressive.

"Spike!" Cried the voice of Twilight. I turned to see her as well as the rest of the girls standing a little bit behind me. Huh. They must have followed me. "Don't hurt him!"

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. I'm not a monster, Twilight." She turned to her cronies. "Let him go." They did and Spike ran over to Twilight. Sunset turned back to us. "You two don't belong here. Give me the crown, and you can both go back to Equestria tonight, or keep it and never go home!" She readied the hammer as if she was going to hit the portal.

"Uh, you do realise that you're trying to hit a portal, right?" I asked.

"Oh, yes, and when it's smashed-"

"No, no, no, it's a portal. It'll just go straight through!" Sunset looked shocked.

"Wait, you... You're not a complete idiot?!" She relaxed with the hammer, resting the top of it on the ground.

"I'd ask why you thought I was, but I just spend five-ish days here, counting the time travel, so I can see why."

"I know, right?" She laughed a little. "Hey, do want in on my plan?"

"That depends, what is your plan?"

"Cloud!" Exclaimed Twilight. "You can't seriously be considering-?!"

"I'm going to use the element to power up," Sunset explained with a grin, ignoring Twilight, "and then use a mind control spell on all of the students here. Then I'll have an army to take over Equestria with!" There was an awkward silence.

"Seriously?" I asked. Sunset's grin faltered.

"What? What's wrong with that?"

"Your plan is to take over Equestria using an army of teenagers that would be in bodies they wouldn't be use to and would thusly be useless. And you were asking if I wasn't an idiot?" She frowned.

"They'll be mind controlled, their knowledge of their bodies won't matter and I was gonna power them up anyway so they wouldn't be weak."

"Eh... That's still pretty stupid."

"Oh, buck you!" She threw the hammer away. I smirked and got into a battle stance.

"Finally, words I'm used to!"

"What, you think I'm stupid enough to fight you like that?" She scoffed. "I already know you can beat Dust and Gilda in a fight, I wouldn't stand a chance like this." The evil grin returned once more. "That's why I brought this!" She reached into a nearby bag (probably hers) and pulled out a silver... Thing. The girls (minus Twilight) screamed.

"W-Where did you even get that?!" Shouted Rainbow. Sunset chuckled before answering.

"Chekhov's Gun Emporium!" The thing made a clicking sound. Sunset looked horrified. "What?!"

"Looking for these?" Asked an oh-so-familiar voice from behind her. She turned around to see Nerdy holding two different looking silver things.

"H-How did you get my clips?!" Demanded Sunset. It was Nerdy's turn to chuckle.

"While you spewing exposition, I snuck into you bag and took them!"

"But we were right here watching it the whole time!" Exclaimed one of her cronies. "How did you do it without being seen?!"

"With my sneak skill of one hundred!" What? Everyone glanced at each other, confused. "What, really? None of you?" He groaned. "Screw it."

"Forget the gun!" Yelled Sunset. "Just get the crown!" She dived at me, arms outstretched but I easily dodged her by sidestepping. She went into a roll only to dive again at Twilight, tackling her to the ground. Oh, she's good. The others all started doing stuff with the crown to get it away, but I ignored them and went straight to Sunset. I grabbed her by the arm and, after summoning a small KC Circle, threw her away from the commotion. I walked over to her.

"Now then," I said, ready to fight, "I think it's time we-"

"CLOUD!" Screamed Rainbow. "CATCH!" What? I turned around just- AGH! Just in time for the crown to hit me in the face, sending pulses of harmful energy into me. I stumbled and fell, but managed to remain conscious. I raised a hand to my head to see if it did any physical damage.The flesh on my forehead was burnt and sore. Realta bucking dammit!

"At last!" Exclaimed Sunset. "More power than I could ever imagine!" I managed to look up to- Shit. To see Sunset put on the crown. Waves of blue magical energy blasted around her, building up until she exploded with energy. She floated up into the air in a way similar to transmutation, further and further until her flesh was suddenly torn off, replaced by a red, pulsating equivalent. Wings sprouted from her back, her hair stuck up on its end and fangs sprouted from her mouth.

Huh, seems less dramatic when I put it like that... She laughed before blasting her cronies with magic, making them look similar.

"This is gonna be so cool!" Cried one of them. Primotaur students near the entrance of the school started screaming, getting Sunset's attention. She flew down to them.

"I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this crown, and it really should have been mine all along," she monologued. "But let's let bygones be bygones. I am your princess now, and you will be loyal..." She grabbed the entrance of the school with telekinesis and tore it away. "To me!" She flew inside the school and cast a mind control spell, turning the screaming crowd into a horde of zombies. She turned to her cronies. "Round them up and bring them to the portal!" They saluted and got to work as Nerdy helped me to my feet. Sunset noticed this and flew outside again.

"So how do you plan on stopping me now?!" She taunted, a crazy grin on her face. I started laughing, making her grin falter slightly. "What? What?! WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!"

"You wanna know how I'll stop you?" I asked as I motioned Nerdy to back up. I sighed happily. "As I've said a few times in the past; magic," I summoned Drain Circles underneath her cronies, "mother bucker!" I drained their magical energy and my body suddenly transformed. I suddenly sprouted a tail (ow), my cutie mark suddenly burned onto my butt (ow!) and a horn suddenly ruptured out of my forehead (OW!). It was all very sudden. I hate myself sometimes. But usually I love me!

I summoned a full size and strength Support Circle under myself without any trouble and flew until I was as high as Sunset.

"I'll give you one chance," I said. "Surrender now before I kick your ass." Sunset was freaking out.

"B-BUCK YOU!" She screamed. She threw a ball of energy at me which I easily blocked with a full size and strength Shield Circle, then converted it into a Shield Bash which sent her flying into the wall of the school. I threw a Detonation Razor into the cloud of smoke which, sure enough, detonated.

I dashed over to her, but heard the telltale sound of her teleporting behind me so I spun around and used all of the momentum I'd collected to hurl a volley of three Razor Circles. They all met their target, her torso, making her cry out in pain. I dashed over to her again, charged up with my Support Circle and hit her in the face with a maximum powered KC Punch! She crashed to the ground and the crown went flying. I flew down to her.

"Wait!" She cried, bleeding profusely from all over her body. "Wait, I surrender!" I smirked.

"Good," I replied, "now-"

"Cloud!" Shouted Twilight. I turned to look at her to see that she was wearing the crown again. "I'm helping!" Her and girls seemed to charge up with energy and- OH SHIT!

"NO, TWILIGHT, WAIT!" I screamed as the rainbow beam flew towards me. The beam smashed into-

My body burned with what felt like the strength of the sun until I blacked out from the pain.

Striker knocked me down with a swift blow from her practice sword. She rolled her eyes as I climbed to my hooves.

"I can't believe that after all this time you're still this shitty at fighting, kid," she said, kicking me back down.

"Buck you..." I muttered, climbing up a second time. She scowled at me.

"You're the one who wanted to join this bucking rebellion!"

"But you're the one who's been a bitch for three years!"

"Would you two just fuck already so we don't have to listen to your shit anymore?!" Shouted Abrade from across the camp.

"Buck you!" He stomped over to us.

"That's it! You're going without food for a day!"

"What?! You can't do that!"

"Serves you right, kid!"

"I meant you as well, Striker!"

"Are you-?! That's bullshit!"

"As your superior officer-!"

"I outrank you, jackass! I'm your superior officer!" Abrade spat at her hooves.

"The day I take orders from a mare is the day we lose this-!" I attacked him before he could finish, beating him with my practice sword.

"Just because you've got the hindquarters of a goat doesn't mean you need to talk through it!" I shouted at his bleeding figure.

"You!" Yelled Cudgel. "What the buck do you think you're doing?!"

"He was-!"

"Shut up, stick-head, I wasn't talking to-!" With two quick strikes with her own sword, Striker knocked out Cudgel.

"Don't be racist, you filthy Griffon!"

I woke up in a crater. Yep, that's a good sign. Why were the people I used to hang around with such assholes? I heard groaning near me. I turned my head to see Sunset, back in her normal form. I felt my forehead with a hand and, sure enough, I was back to normal too. Well, back to my normal Primotaur form at least.

Twilight looked into the crater looking worried.

"Cloud!" She cried. "Are you okay?!"

"Buck you, Twilight," I replied. Then again, people here are assholes too...

Author's Notes:

Don't fuck with the circle wielder when he's at full power!

In his old universe, everyone was an asshole!
