"Alright, you little bugger," I growled. "Are you ready for a real fight?" Queen Miyamoto snarled at me.

"I've already become strong enough to defeat Celestia in a single magic blast, what makes you think that you'll do any better?!" She asked.

"Because I've already broken your muzzle." Queen Miyamoto looked confused.

"What?" I reeled back and punched her in the face, only to pull my hoof back in pain.

"Buck!" Queen Miyamoto laughed.

"Did you not notice my magnificent chitin?" Shit, I forgot about that. I won't be able to use many fire attacks...

"Yeah, now I'm gonna get rid of it!" I leapt at her with Flame Blade, but before I could hit her she smashed a bottle against my head, the contents smearing over my face. Shit! Buck! Glass in my face! Suddenly, I felt my magic drain away, deactivating Flame Blade. "Wait, what the buck?"

"A little gift from Celestia!"

"Huh...?" Celestia asked weakly. "Oh... Oh dear... In hindsight, Cloud may have been right about that being a bad idea..."

"What the buck is this?!" I exclaimed, wiping the liquid off of my face with a hoof.

"Water with traces of gold..."

"What?!" Suddenly, Chrysalis grabbed me with her magic and threw me out of the window. "Shit!" The chapel room was a few stories high, so my hind legs snapped like twigs when I landed. "BUCK! BUCK-BUCK-BUCK!" I screamed, my eyes screwed shut.

"Attack her!" I heard Chrysalis call from out of the window. I opened my eyes to see an army of Changelings flying down towards the city, wreaking havoc as they landed. A group of ten separated from the rest and flew in my direction. Well that's just bucking great! I quickly tried again and again to cast a repair spell on the broken bones, but my magic hadn't returned to me yet. I realised what I had to do. Buck my life, I'm gonna regret this later... I grabbed one of my hind legs and forcefully snapped it back into the right position.

BUCK!

The group landed and rushed over to me just as I snapped the other back in place. By now, I had just enough magic to heal the torn flesh, so I did. I shakily stood up just as the group reached me, ignoring the pain from the hundreds of glass-filled cuts covering my body and face and the agony from my hind legs.

"Okay, mother buckers," I snarled, "now you've made me angry." The closest of the group, looking to be the leader, ran at me with a grin. I dived at him, jabbed him in the face to stun him, grabbed one of his fangs and tore it out of his gums. His mouth was now open in a scream, so I stabbed the fang as deep into the unprotected flesh as I could before throwing the Changeling aside. I turned to the others. They looked more than a little shocked. "Come at me, ya buck-heads."

They gladly obliged.

They surrounded me and came at me all at once. I dodged past the punches of Changelings one and two and grabbed the second one to use as a shield against the magic bolts shot by the third and forth, throwing his corpse at them to knock them down. The fifth came from above which I sidestepped, letting him crash into the ground. The first tried another swing of his hoof, which I grabbed and used to pull him into the oncoming charge of Changelings six and seven, impaling him on their horns. Three climbed to his hooves just in time for me to buck him in the face, knocking him into four and sending them both sprawling.

Eight came at me from above like five, and I sidestepped just as easily. I spun around and used the momentum to punch six, who had been coming at me from behind, and followed it up with an uppercut from my other hoof to stun seven, then grabbed him by the ears and threw him at three and four, knocking them down for a third time. I jumped to the side to avoid six, then grabbed his face and smashed it into the ground, knocking him out.

I turned to three and seven, four being unconscious, ducked underneath three's magic bolt, then charged at him. Seven charged at me in return. I jumped onto his back, off into the air, then used all the the momentum on a flying punch to three's face, taking him out. Seven tried another charge, so I bucked him in the face without turning around. Then I turned to Changeling number nine.

Nine was as big as Applejack's brother and looked almost as angry as I did. He charged at me. I tried to dodge, but he managed to turn at the last moment and knock me down, luckily missing with his horn. He repeatedly punched me in the face until I yanked out a large shard of glass from my side and slashed him across his left eye. He howled in pain and I threw him off of me, quickly climbing to my feet. I ran over to him and paid him back with some punches of my own, but was interrupted when he grabbed my face and headbutted me, luckily missing with the horn again. The world spun as I was sent flying a few meters, landing on the side of me filled with glass. I cried out as the shards cut deeper and again when nine leapt onto me. He grabbed my head and tried to break my neck.

Suddenly, a mass of adrenalin flooded through my veins, giving me a magic surge.

My mane and tail exploded into intense flames and from my horn fired a magic beam of pure heat, so hot that it could even break through nine's chitin plating, the poor excuse he had for a brain and out the other side.

Nine fell over, dead.

Enough magic had built up for me to quickly and crudely repair the bones in my legs, summon a Support Circle and fly back up to the chapel room window. My face was messed up from nine and my body was still covered in glass cuts, but it was the best I could do in a small amount of time.

"This day has been just perfect!" Sung Chrysalis, looking over a balcony. "The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was-!"

"WE'RE NOT FINISHED YET!" I roughly yelled, sending a paste of blood and teeth fragments across the room. Chrysalis looked horrified.

"What?! How are you still alive?!"

"ANGER, ADRENALIN AND A WHOLE LOAD OF BADASSERY!" I charged up with the Support Circle, sped over to her and smashed her in the face with an explosive Fire Punch, shattering her muzzle and sending her flying across the room. "AND THAT'S HOW WE DO IT IN EQUESTRIA, BITCH!" I landed and dismissed the circle, but before I could react Chrysalis stood back up, looking perfectly fine. "ARE YOU BUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Chrysalis laughed.

"While you were busy outside, I've started to harvest Celestia's pure power! I'm unstoppable by now!" She fired her magical beam at me. I quickly cast Flame Blade and deflected it towards the ceiling. "Oh, you can deflect energy! Let's see if it can deflect the energy of the sun!" Her beam intensified greatly, making me have to strain to keep the spell active. "It looks like you're out of energy! Unlike me!" She laughed again. I summoned another Support Circle and charged myself up, quadrupling my spell's power. "Aw, how cute, a magic amplifier! It's a pity that it's useless against me!" The beam became more powerful once more, making my Flame Blade and Support Circle shatter. The beam exploded against me, sending me crashing into a wall.

Barely conscious, I watched as Chrysalis walked over to me.

"To be fair, you are pretty powerful," she said as she charged up her horn. "But it would take someone stronger than even you to stop me." Chrysalis aimed her horn to deliver the final blow...

...But was interrupted by a Razor Circle slicing her horn clean off! I groggily looked across the room to see Dad wearing some weird machinery on his head, his horn charged up and him looking more pissed than I'd ever seem him.

"Hey, Swiss feet!" He shouted. "Get the BUCK away from my daughter!"
