Chapter 27: Another Type of Buffalo

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The outskirts of Appleoosa in Equestria were not looking so good, for it was where chief Thunderhooves of the Bison Tribe were living at. Little Strongheart, the young, yet bold buffalo was fending off a group of ponies from Appleoosa, as they were almost all brainwashed by Roseblood's magic, and forced to do her bidding. Thunderhooves and all his bison followers were doing all they can to pull back all the brainwashed ponies under the dark magic, and Appleoosa was far more populated than the settlement the bison live in. "Gah! What is going on today?" said Strongheart.

Chief Thunderhooves knocked one of the sheriffs down to the ground with his head and horns, knocking him out cold. "I have no idea why all of Appleoosa has turned against us." He replied while panting. "is this how they repay us for letting them share our land with them?"

"Die bison!" said Sheriff Silver Star. "Die in the name of Roseblood!" What's funny for the bison was they kept hearing that name from the ponies over and over again as they were being attacked by them all, and they didn't even know who that was.... yet. All of a sudden, help arrived and it was Discord and Zecora. Not only them, but there was Ocellus the changeling, Yona the yak, Sandbar, Gallus griffon, Smolder the dragon, and Silverstream the Hippogriff, all of them preparing for a fight against the brainwashed ponies.

"Not so fast, Silver Star!" Sandbar boldly addressed him. "Now you have to deal with us!"

"What's your best defense now, sheriff?" Discord taunted him.

"Discord, Zecora?" Chief Thunderhooves recognized the two heroes. "Is it truly you?"

"Yes, Thunderhooves." Said Zecora. "But let us skip the hellos, for now, we have got to deal with them so they'll leave you alone."

"Right! Let's kick some butt!" Said Little Strongheart. A big fight began, and the buffalo were fighting fiercely, and bravely, bellowing in triumph like a bull.

Many of the ponies that were brainwashed by Roseblood's dark magic, but some of them were either knocked out in the head, or stayed to fight the bison longer.

Zecora snapped his finger, and his enemy: one of the sheriffs of Appleoosa, was struck by a small lightning bolt from a small thunder cloud over his head.

After being zapped, the stallion cowardly ran away from the fighting. The fighting continued for about ten minutes until Silver Star called in a retreat seeing how he and his cronies were outnumbered by how powerful Zecora and her followers were, and how bold the bison were.

A few tents in the bison settlement were on fire but they were put out by Discord with a fire hose, and wearing a firefighter's uniform.

"There." He said: "clean as a whistle."

"Well, now that the Appleoosian ponies have leaves us alone," said Thunderhooves. "Can someone please explain what is going on?"

"Yeah," said Little Strongheart. "What's wrong with the ponies today? Have they just turned against us?"

"Sadly, yes." Said Discord. "And for a good reason. An evil mare named Roseblood has returned from Hell and she is going to take over the whole world if we do not stop her."

"Roseblood?" Said Thubdrhooves with a raised eyebrow. "I've have heard the ponies attacking us saying: 'Long live Roseblood!' Or something like that."

"She was an ancient foe." Said Zecora. "Celestia and Luna's ancient foe that they have both defeated a long time ago. Roseblood was a very evil mare trapped in the pits of Tartarus for a thousand years, but she has been growing stronger since she was incarcerated in there."

"She is bad news." Said Ocellus. "And she is so powerful, too."

"Roseblood turned Celestia and Luna completely evil, and they serve her as the new 'queen' of Equestria." Silverstream added. "She brainwashed headmistress Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and the elements of harmony, Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor."

"If we don't stop her," said Gallus. " this world will be doomed.

Thunderhooves and Strongheart didn't know what to think of this, and then one of the bison asked: "but, what about Spike? Is he okay?"

"He.. hasn't been brainwashed. Apparently, ber magic can only work on almost all ponies." Sandbar clarified. "Sole of them like me are resistant to her magic, and we're not brainwashed like the others."

"But, how can Celestia and Luna fall prey to a dark spell by this evil mare?" Asked Strongheart.

"Yes. The princess' are smarter and more powerful than that." Thunderhooves pointed.

"That's what we thought." Said Smolder. "But, she'a been surging ber power in Hell since her defeat all those years ago. Now she's back, way more powerful than Celestia and Luna combined into one."

"Oh, it's horrible." Said Yona. "That mean pony is so powerful to create horrible, evil monsters from Tartarus and obey her."

"Where's Spike?" Asked the same bison bull from before

"He was abducted by her," said Discord. "She wanted to turn him into her new, royal pet?"

"Pet?" Said Thubderhooves in shock. "This is absolutely horrendous news to hear."

"How will we stop her?"

"That's why we came here, chief." Said Zecora. "We are building an army to oppose her. An alliance of resistance ponies, dragons, hippogriffs, changelings, griffins, eland, Zebrican buffalo, minotaurs, zebras, kudu, and bison."

Thunderhooves was having a little boost of morale in him and he said: "well, that is a clever idea, but will it be enough to stop her?"

Discord and Zecora bowed their heads in a sigh.

"We don't know for sure." The zebra admitted. "But, every number counts in trying to stop her."

"Right. Of course." Saod the chief. "We will lend you our support against the fight."

"And so will i." Strongheart stepped up. "We'll help you in any way we can to stop Roseblood, and save the whole world."

They bowed to the Master of Chaos and fledged their support from themselves and the fellow buffalo in this tribe. They can all be quite useful to the cause against the wicked mare.


Spike was on a dark carriage with Roseblood while wearing a collar over his neck and the shackle around his left wrist again.

They were both in the sky while being pulled by two pegasus stallions pulling a ridiculously large carriage, even struggling to pull it.

"Come on you worthless stallions!" The mare barked at them both. "Move faster for your queen!" It scared Spike a little and mare him shake like a scared dog being afraid of thunder and lightning.

"Were are we going?" Spike asked after he gulped in fear.

"Oh, Ponyville of course." The mare replied with a sneer. "I would like to make a speech to all the subjects living in the town. I would like to show them all my glory in my evilness, and let them know about the perfect world that will become mine. All mine!"

Poor Spike just wanted to get away from her and fly out of this carriage, if not for these shackles and collar. He even wished he had a lock pick with him to sneak his way out with them.

If he tried melting the shackles with his fire, Roseblood would get angry with him, and she would punish him severely for his defiance.

"Oh come now, Spike. You'll get to see all the friends you know down there once we get to that little village in the valley."

"Yeah. I wonder how happy they will be to see me."

"Oh. They will love to see you again. I just know they will."

The bany dragon felt a sudden jerk in the couch and he realized that it landed on the ground violently like a plane landing on the ground.

He peeked over, and saw that he was back in Ponyville.

"Queen Roseblood comes to us all!" Mayor Mare announced. She and all thr other brainwashed ponies bowed down to their supposed queen

She was there, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were there, Cheerilee was there, Big Mac was there, Granny Smith was there, Trixie was there, and the other townsfolk of ponyville attended the arrival of Roseblood.

Spike was absolutely terrified at seeing these faces of evil, brainwashed ponies. Not only that, but some of them looked at him with an evil grin, making him more queasy in his stomach.

In front of him was a built stage, and his brainwashed friends were on it, waiting for their queen to approach and make her supposed speech.

There was also Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart there as well.

One thing in Spike's head was he deathly wished that he could just run away and be away from this wicked mare from Tartarus, but alas, he was only one baby dragon against all these brainwashed ponies, and his closest friends among them.

He felt Roseblood carry him with her magic, and he was riding on her back. "Just look at them, child." She said to him. "Every one of these ponies worship me as their goddess."

While walking down, Roseblood smiled to see all her new subjects bowing down to her in respect like she was the goddess of everything. Spike knows exactly that this was absolutely untrue, for she was no real ruler of Equestria at all.

"Now, do make a good impression for me, Spike." said Roseblood.

"Everything is ready, your majesty." Said Twilight.

"Good." With a loud, booming voice, Roseblood cleared her throat, and announced: "Citizens of Ponyville, I gather you here today to bask in my glory as the new queen of Equestria."

An uproar of cheering was heard from the crowd.

"Today, all of this planet will bow down to their new ruler: me, Roseblood! Nopony will ever dare to defy me!"

Yet another uproar was heard. Honestly, Spike felt like throwing up from all this pressure, like he gotten off a fast rollercoaster.

"For all of those who defy me, or ones who are not under my magic, I will be watching you. I'll find you out, and there will be no place to hide."

It made Spike think about his non-brainwashed friends hiding in that cave next to Everfree Forest.

"Boy, I hope that the others in there aon't get found out." The baby dragon said in his mind.

"A new world will be born soon. No more individuals fighting one another, no more elections, no more debates. Only I can show you all they way to prosperity."

Just then, there was a sudden change in princess Celestia and Luna. An orange, fiery aura appeared around the princess of the sun, and a purple mist swirled around Luna."

They both began to transform majorly wothbsharp teeth, demonic eyes, and altered cutie marks. Luna was turned back into Nightmare Moon, and Celestia was turned into somepony similar.

"What the?" Spike noticed. "Princess Celestia, Luna, what happened to you?"

"Do not be alarmed, Spike." Said Celestia, or what used to be Celestia. "And you need not to call us those names anymore."

"Yes, dear." Said what used to be Luna. "Now, I am Nightmare Moon."

"And I will he known as: Daybreaker!" Said Celestia.

Luna still kept the red glowing in her eyes, but she looked more menacing in that form with them, and the same with Celestia.

"Yes, show me your inner darkness, girls." Roseblood said before she began chuckling evilly.

Celestia and Luna also began laughing evilly with her before bowing before their queen.

"We all rise anew!" Said Roseblood to her subjects again. "Nothing will ever stop us!'

"Long live queen Roseblood!" Everyone chanted over and over again. Twilight, Starlight, her friends, and the transformed Celestia and Luna joined in

Poor Spike. He knew things are going from bad to worse.
