Is all Hope Lost?
Chapter 42: Touching Reunion
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Whaaat?!!" Screaned an enraged Roseblood. "My new pet has escaped?! Discord rescued him from my clutches?!" Boy, when the new got out about that, she was so infuriated, words probably describe by what she is conveying right now.
Twilight, Starlight, and her brainwashed friends were kneeling down before her in a very scared position right now.
"I ask you all to do one simple thing!" Roseblood continued berating. "One easy task, and my best pet gets taken from me!" She looked like she was about to kill somepony right now.
"Wait!" Pinkie Pie blurted. "It's really not our fault, your majesty! It was Discord!"
"He was always a good trickster." Fluttershy added.
"Silence!" Roseblood shouted in a voice of booming thunder. "I know it is Discord you simpletons! You already explained that to me two times already!"
"Forgive us, my queen." Said Twilight. "It was a terrible mistake."
"Well see to it that it does not happen again." Roseblood sounded more calm than before, but that didn't stop her from killing at least six of the royal guards around her.
Everyone was looking more scared than ever, and they hoped that they would not see their new queen do that in a fit of rage ever again. For what they know, they might be next on her death list if they cross her next time.
Even Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon were afraid of her wrath a little. "Now, anypony else feeling like making me angry?" Asked Roseblood.
Scared and nervous, her subjects in front of her replied "no" or "of course not".
"That's what I thought. Now, we will get my new pet back, but first, if it is a war they want," her eyes glowed a red again. "Then it's a war they will all get soon."
"Should we punish Spike for you?" Akeed Starlight Glimmer.
"No. I will see to that myself when you bring him back to me. You all just worry about killing as much of my new and old adversaries as possible. Except for Discord and Zecora. Take those two alive.
"You still want to capture him alive, milady?" Asked Applejack in confusion. "even after he took Spike away from ya?"
"Of course I do, Applejack. I have something delicious in mind for that clown when we get our hooves on him." Roseblood replied.
"And what about Zecora?" Asked Rarity. "Why can we not kill her, the ringleader of this uprising?"
A really sly grin appeared on Roseblood's face before saying: "In due time, my servants, all in due time."
"Are you sure we can't just kill Spike ourselves?" Asked Garble. "I just wanna get my claws on his face and gouge his eyes, not even his own mother would recognize nim."
"How many times do I have to tell you stupid meatheads? Spike must he captured alive. Unless.... unless you want to end up like those six guards in just killed.
Garble and his friends immediately grew scared of what she said, and they would not want to end up like those unfortunate guards that the evil mare had slain. "On second thought, you're right, my queen.: garble replied.
"I thought you would listen to reason."
Judt then, the throne doors flew open. It was Iron Will and the three lead Diamond Dogs. "Your majesty!" Said Iron will.
"Zecora, Discord, and a gigantic number of creatures and animals March from the fields!" Said Rover while panting.
"They're on their way here!" Iron Will added. "What are we gonna do?"
"Simple. It means it's time." Roseblood answered calmly. "All of you! Prepare yourselves for battle!"
"Yes milady!" Said everyone in the room, and they went to gather the army for their evil queen. Roseblood will certainly have a score to settle once she greets all of these creatures in the resistance. She could not wait to kill any living animal or creature that would dare to oppose her.
Meanwhile
Spike couldn't be any more happier than to be away from Roseblood at last. He was still quite traumatized however because of what he had saw while in her care. All of the torturing, watching unaffected ponies getting tortured themselves and being raped by her as well.
Discord and Zecora couldn't help but check on him to see if he was doing okay. "Spike?" Said Zecora. "Are you alright?"
"Well... yes and no." Was what the baby dragon replied to her. "It was just horrible how Roseblood treated me."
"What has she done to you?" Discord asked him.
The baby dragon bowed his head in shame before saying. "I don't want to talk about it. I never want to talk about it."
"We understand." Said Zecora. "Sometimes it is best bit to know. And besides, Roseblood's reign will soon come to an end."
"And we'll make sure that she pays for taking away the ones we love." Lyra added.
"We promise you, Spike." Cloudchaser added.
"We'll be there for you." Said Flitter.
The baby dragon smiled and he was very touched to still have some good friends on his side no matter what.
Canterlot was not very far from where the army was now, only about fifteen miles away from where Ponyville was.
All of a sudden, they all saw something big in front of them, and it was a gigantic army of demons of all shapes and sizes, along with an army of brainwashed ponies with red eyes.
Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, Roseblood, the corrupted Elements of Harmony, and the other brainwashed ponies of Canterlot took the lead.
Not only that, but there were the Klugetownians, diamond dogs, some minotaurs that know Iron Will and his friends, dragons on Garble's side, and others.
The numbers in this army were almost as much as the ones Spike was in and Zecora walking ahead of them all. Roseblood didn't look scared, but she looked angry and for a very good reason, too.
Poor Spike began to feel a little squeamish seeing that horrible mare again and felt like throwing up his while stomach.
Some amount of doubt was coming back to him and he was thinking if this army can truly win or not against her and her band of demons.
The dragons looked pretty tough and ready for a fight like none other before, including Ember. The changelings were also confident in this fight against her with everything they got.
As for the eland, zebra, buffalo (both bison and Zebrican), white and black rhinos, and the animals were all pretty ready to try and skin her alive as well. "This is it." Said Imari. "We will put this to the true test and save the whole world."
"And we are ready." Said Spiral.
They all stopped and when they were at a good distance from the forces of corrupted evil. The dragons, eland, buffalo, kudu, and everyone else on the side of good glared at the evil group in front if them and the forces of evil themselves gave them evil smiles.
Discord, Zecora, Spike, Zuberi, Ember, Imari, Spiral, Angel Bunny, Thorax, Queen Novo. And the other leaders were in front, looking noble and prepared for battle.
Roseblood poofed herself in front if them all and she looked rather stern. "You all have something that belongs to me, Zecora." She said. Looking at Spike, she smiled at him. "And i want him back." She sounded a little more stern this time.
