Next Chapter.

Blitz ran at full speed towards Deadeye and Big Mac. Blitz was the fastest COLT and possibly the fastest pony in Equestria. There was no doubt that Deadeye and Big Mac were physically stronger than Blitz but he was so fast they couldn't lay a hit on him. Blitz repeatedly ran around the two of them throwing punches and kicks. Big Mac stuck out his hoof eventually got ahold of Blitz when the blue pony ran into it.

"Snap out of it Blitz!" Big Mac said as Blitz violently struggled to get free. The noises he was making sounded like something out of a nightmare.

"Quick knock him out!" Deadeye said as he was knocked to the ground. He looked up and saw Autumn on top of him trying to bite out his throat. Big Mac knew that Autumn would be the hardest to take down so he had to deal with Blitz fast. Blitz kicked Big Mac and escaped, he turned around and charged towards the red stallion. Deadeye kicked Autumn off of him and got up. Autumn came running back but Deadeye headbutted Autumn full force knocking him back.

"Autumn stop this, Don't make me hurt you!" Deadeye said as Autumn replied with an angry growl and charged for Deadeye. Autumn punched Deadeye in the face and knocked him through a window and he fell into hallway in the castle. The two ponies exchanged blows as they traveled down the hallway. Big Mac wasn't having much luck with Blitz. Big Mac knew if he could get one good solid hit he would knock Blitz to the ground but the blue pony was too fast! Blitz spun around Big Mac delivering blow after blow into Big Mac. Deadeye could feel himself losing control and soon he would go rampant. Autumn made a run at him but instead of dodging, he delivered a skull cracking head-butt to the green stallion. Rarity and Pinkie Pie hid behind a corner as the battle ensured, both too terrified to move a muscle. Big Mac eventually stopped Blitz by tripping him and repeatedly pounding his head in until Blitz was unconscious.

"Sorry Blitz." Big Mac said as he went to help Deadeye. Pinkie slowly crept over and cried into his body.

"I'm sorry Blitzy, I really really really REALLY like you." She said as she sobbed. Meanwhile, Deadeye was pushing back Autumn.

"Deadeye!" Twilight yelled as she ran out.

"Twilight! Get out of here!" Deadeye said as Autumn kicked him in the back.

"I know how to cure them!" Twilight said. This caught Deadeye's attention as he picked up a nearby boulder and relentlessly pounded it into Autumn till the stallion finally fell. Deadeye picked up Autumn and tossed him into a corner. Rarity came out of hiding and caressed Autumn's body.

"Buck! That was-ahhhh!" Deadeye said as he collapsed. Twilight ran over to him to help.

"Deadeye are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"I can hear them, the voices, they are calling us home." Deadeye said in a deep demonic voice.

"Deadeye? You're scaring me!" Twilight said. Deadeye swung around and grabbed her by the throat and applied pressure. Twilight frantically tried to escape by using her magic but it wasn't enough to stop Deadeye.

"We are all coming home." Deadeye said as Twilight began to cry and lose consciousness.

"D-d-deadeye! Don't! I-I really lov-." Twilight said as her eyes closed.

"Captain!" Big Mac screamed as he arrived. "Put her down!" Deadeye threw Twilight to the ground and turned to face Macintosh. Big Mac could see that Deadeye had gone rampant.

"If only you could see what it was like!" Deadeye said. Big Mac was confused, the others were like mindless beasts when they went rampant but Deadeye was talking! It was like he was being possessed.

"Captain, Ah don't want to fight you!" Big Mac said nervously. He knew Deadeye would absolutely murder him in a fight.

"I see, but it appears you have no choice!" Deadeye said as he pulled out his sword and jumped towards Big Mac. Macintosh pulled out his sword and blocked Deadeye's attack in a nick of time. The two began swinging blades at each other as they entered the castle. It was taking all of Big Mac's concentration to keep up with Deadeye. He was puzzled, how could Deadeye be able to pull off these advanced attacks and talk if he was rampant? Big Mac could feel a dark aura emitting from Deadeye and figured there was something much darker here at work. Deadeye's blade nicked Macintosh's cheek, the wound healed in a mere minute. Big Mac found he was not only fighting against Deadeye but also himself, he knew soon he would go rampant as well. Big Mac jumped and tried to buck Deadeye in the face but Deadeye grabbed Big Mac's hoof and slammed him to the ground.

"Captain! Get ahold of yerself!" Big Mac shouted.

"Fool, this is unlimited power!" Deadeye yelled.

"Yer not proving anything!" Big Mac said. Deadeye didn't respond as he swung his sword down on Big Mac and put a gash in the stallions backhoof. Big Mac turned around as Deadeye swung again and caught Deadeye's blade in between his fronthooves. Deadeye grinned as he brought his blade closer to Macintosh's face. The adrenaline pumping through Big Mac's body helped him to push the blade away and punch Deadeye in the face. Big Mac limped over to his sword and picked it up. The two began slashing at each other once again. Big Mac jumped in the air and did a backflip in an attempt to get Deadeye but Deadeye sliced through Big Mac's back, if he wasn't wearing his armor it would have been a fatal blow. Big Mac fell to the ground next to a pillar. Deadeye slowly walked over, ready to deliver the final blow. Big Mac was unarmed and injured so he had to act fast! Big Mac noticed the cracks in the pillar so he bucked as hard as he could.

"Please let this work!" Big Mac thought as the pillar began to crumble. The ceiling began to buckle and collapse around Deadeye. Big Mac knew this wouldn't stop him of course but it would buy him time. A pile of rocks and wood covered Deadeye and knocked him off his feet. Big Mac took this moment to run up to Deadeye and buck him as hard as he could in the face as many times as he could. Big Mac heard the crack of his hoof meeting Deadeye's skull and could see blood spatter beneath him. He turned around to see he had finally knocked out Deadeye.

"Kill him, kill him NOW!" Big Mac ignored the voice in his head as he fell over breathing heavily and was extremely sore. He felt a sharp pain in his head.

"If you will not kill out of choice, I will MAKE YOU!" The voice screamed as Big Mac finally succumbed to his rampancy. He looked up in his reflection to see only a clump of his mane remained, his coat was a sick green color, and his eyes had become slits. He let out a loud shout. Up above Luna, Celestia, and a detachment of Marines had just saved Twilight.

"Big Mac?" Luna said as she saw a crazed Macintosh below.

"Luna don't even think about!" Celestia said.

"Please sister! It's our fault he is like this! We have to set things right!" Luna said. Celestia wanted to intervene but she decided Luna was right and decided to give her a chance.

"Alright but if you get hurt I'm coming to get you." Celestia said. Luna nodded as she flew down towards Macintosh who had just ripped a tree from the ground and chucked it across the courtyard.

"BIG MAC!" Luna said as she landed. Big Mac turned to meet her in the eye. He stood there for a moment before snorting and charging her. Luna barely dodged the attack. "Big Mac I'm so sorry I didn't believe you! I don't deserve your forgiveness but please stop this!". Big Mac let out a loud yell and stomped the ground in front of him making a large crater. Luna went wide eyed at his strength but she couldn't give up.

"I know you rage is controlling you but you're stronger than it!" Luna cried.

"RAH!" Macintosh screamed as he chucked a tree at her. She flew out of the way again in a nick of time.

"Big Mac I love you! Come back to me! Please! I can't live without you!" Luna cried as she fell on her knees, she could barely breath in between sobs. Big Mac stopped in his tracks as Luna's words sank in.

"Don't tell me your are actually going to listen to her! She wanted you dead remember?" The voice said. Big Mac knew the voice was right but Luna only thought that cause the COLTS were framed. Big Mac's rage took over as he ran up to her and grabbed her by the throat. Luna responded by hugging him and kissing him on the lips. His aggression died down as he remembered how much he loved her and how he would never harm her. He looked at what he was doing and saw he was indeed hurting her. He dropped her gently as he stood their wide eyed.

"Ah'm sorry." He said before an incoming barrage of guards knocked him out.

Rather short but full o action! R&R
