Staying Sane In A Peaceful World
Chapter 20: Chapter 19: If You Give A Pony Demon Powers... Part 1
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"It is on" my twelve friends said.
I watched as my friends stared down with Grey Hoof and his friends until Pinkie raised up her party cannon and fired. Instead of a party shot being fired with the sound of a party horn, the sound of a normal Milkor MGL 140 was heard and a 40MM grenade was sent flying at the alicorns on stage. The explosion that followed completely leveled the large stage the alicorns were standing on, leaving a cloud of dust and carnage.
"Is that it?" Logan asked.
The cloud surrounding the stage disappeared and a transparent red shield was seen covering the alicorns. When my twelve friends saw this, they rushed at them and attacked. Fluttershy, unlike her usual self, was now in Flutterrage mode, the same mood she was in during the Grand Galloping Gala when animals refused to befriend her. Pinkie Pie was in her Pinkamena Diane Pie mode, mentality snapping because of situation. Everyone else was fine with fighting them.
I watched as my friends attempt to combat the magical alicorns fueled by the life force of the townsponies. The resulting transfer of powers I performed on my friends and the townsponies left me a bloody mess and the townsponies in a decent living state so they wouldn't feel as much pain as I was feeling. From there, I told them to go towards the hospital to avoid what was going to happen next.
The resulting transfer of powers to my friends did as I thought. The Mane six was wearing their Elements of Harmony and my human friends were wearing the Elements of Survival. The elements had come to their bearers because I had given them powers of a demon. The resulting clash forced the elements to give them even more power as the elements tried to clash with the evil. Currently, the twelve of them were in a mix between two forms, demon trigger and harmonious element transformation. The resulting effect gave them more power than they would ever have. Auras of power surrounded them. The citizens of Sunny Town had absorbed enough power from the life forces of the townsponies of Ponyville had given them enough power to surpass Celestia and Luna. Twelve versus eighty.
Then I realized something, if the twelve of my friends also had part of my life force. I have learned that if you steal or receive someone's life force you also receive part of what makes a person special. That means my twelve friends had part of my personality, preferences, abilities, and powers. The twelve of my friends received more than my powers. They received my shooting ability, resistance to pain, fighting ability, weapon skills, my blood lust, remorselessness, and basically everything else that made me the Crazy Asian.
I watched as I was unable to battle with them in my decomposed state, lying on the ground and eyesight blurring but I still had to help. I pulled out my PPK as it was the only weapon that had a kick I could handle in my current state because of the .22 Long Rifle round it was chambered in. Funny story. My Walther PPK was my father's pistol. He bought it when he was robbed twenty years ago. Still able to be depended on, my PPK despite going through the zombie apocalypse and twenty years of life... Well, technically my PPK was an Astra Constable, a Spanish copy of the Walther PPK but I still called it a PPK because it was easier to say and most people would think the Astra Constable is a PPK. Plus, nearly everyone doesn't know about the Astra Constable. I stood up, barely able to move in my badly decomposed form. I still have work to do. Then I started to walk with whatever strength I had. The current decomposed state my body was in made the walk very difficult and left me with a limp.
Third Person Point Of View
Pinkie Pie was the first to attack the alicorns that were the citizens of Sunny Town. A light pink aura of power surrounded her and her party cannon, showing how much power she really had. Like the other eleven of them, she was standing bipedal. She open fired with her Party Cannon, the modified Milkor MGL 140 firing explosive rounds in her Devil Trigger. Alas, every grenade Pinkie fired was deflected by a force field and was only useful as a distraction. Each grenade that impacted the force field barely even affected it, not even close to affecting the concentration of the alicorn that was holding the shield despite Pinkie Pie firing MEI Mercury grenades, a type of high explosive 40MM grenade that can reach targets 800 meters and blow through 2-3 inches of steel that can hit a target up to 800 meters. How did she know about these military grade grenade rounds? She had access to Tran's knowledge of weapons and powers.
She ran towards the alicorns, party cannon in hoof. When she was in close proximity of the alicorns, she jumped up, pointed her party cannon towards the ground, and fired a grenade, sending her flying upwards. She landed in the middle of a crowd of six alicorns. By now, the alicorns from Sunny Town had separated from each other to fight the twelve elements but most of the alicorns grouped together. One of the alicorns of the group Pinkie Pie landed in attempted to shoot magic at her but Pinkie Pie ducked and the spell missed. Pinkie Pie ran to the offending alicorn and smashed the Party Cannon into his face, dazing him. Unfortunately, the alicorn quickly recovered and shot at Pinkie Pie with another spell. Pinkie Pie, knowing what to do, dodged again but was met with getting shot with a spell from a different alicorn. Pinkie Pie was sent flying into the path of a building and when she impacted, the building crumbled onto her making the alicorns that she was fighting let out a sigh of relief.
Pinkie Pie got out of the ruins of the building and shot one of the alicorns with a grenade. This time, the grenade wasn't blocked by a shield and it blew up when it impacted one of them in the face. The resulting effect was an alicorn with a missing head and upper torso. Pinkie Pie performed another grenade jump and landed on the head of another alicorn with Pinkie Pie somehow not getting impaled on the enemy's horn. Before the alicorn Pinkie Pie was standing on could react, Pinkie Pie slammed the buttstock of the Party Cannon into his face. She jumped off of the alicorn and ran to cover as she was getting shot at with magic. From her cover, which at the moment was the ruins of the building that she was sent flying into earlier, Pinkie Pie blindly fired her Party Cannon over the top of her cover, hoping to hit one of them. Unfortunately, any shot that got near her target was blocked by a force field. Pinkie Pie kept on blindly firing her Party Cannon until she was lifted up by a red aura. While inside the red bubble that contained her, Pinkie Pie constantly tried to break her way out of the bubble by slamming the buttstock of her Party Cannon into the shield. Alas, it wasn't working. Pinkie Pie was brought up to in front of her captor. The alicorn in question charged up his horn to finally get rid of Pinkie Pie.
Before the alicorn could fire the spell, he screamed in pain as Andy snuck up on the stallion and stabbed his staff into the alicorn's back. Millions of volts electrocuted the alicorn and essentially cooked him, alive. Pinkie Pie continued shooting at other ponies as Andy joined in fighting them with his staff along with Twilight who also had a staff. By now, the alicorns started making weapons out of pure magic to help combat the twelve elements. The two elements, Twilight and Andy were currently fighting twelve alicorns that surrounded them with a staff. The alicorns attempted to fight the two elements with their magical weapons, various swords, maces, spears, or halberds. Ever slash, stab, hack, or smash sent by the alicorns to the two of those elements were directed, blocked, or dodged by the two elements. The twelve alicorns and two elements were in a fighting stalemate until the two elements stabbed their staffs into the ground. One alicorn attempted to take advantage of the two elements self-disarming themselves but was met with a dodge. The two elements jumped to each other's positions as the two dodged another attack.
The two elements looked at each other and nodded. The two of them jumped up in the air, grabbed their partner's staff, and hoisted themselves in the air as they started to kick the alicorns while holding onto to their partners' staff. The alicorns surrounding them were knocked back but they soon recovered to reattempt to attack the two elements. The twelve alicorns looked at each other and the twelve of them knew what they were going to do. The twelve of them lit up their horns and surrounded the two elements in a large force field. The force field slowly shrunk and shrunk and shrunk until the two elements inside were crushed into each other and were close to being killed. Twilight's horn lit up and attempted to get rid of the force field but her power, even with the element of magic and Tran's powers, was not strong enough and failed.
Then Nick jumped into the fray. Nick was undoubtly one of the best fighters of the group, mainly because of his strength. Nick, Gravity Hammer in hand, smashed the force field surrounding the two elements and completely shattered it and sending the twelve alicorns flying back. Nick attempted to hit one of the alicorns with his gravity hammer but his target dodged because of the speed he was swinging at. One of the alicorns attempted to slash Nick with a magically ethereal sword but ended up with a Gravity Hammer to the breast. The alicorn that was hit was sent flying, in pieces. Another alicorn attempted to stab Nick with his horn but Nick grabbed the alicorn, snapped off his horn and stabbed the horn into the alicorn's head, killing the alicorn. Nick ran to one alicorn while readying his Gravity Hammer. Unfortunately, the alicorn Nick was targeting raised up a shield to defend himself. Fortunately, the shield didn't do anything to help him and Nick swung the Gravity Hammer, smashing through the shield and sending the alicorn flying, the corpse completely obliterated. Nick approached one alicorn that had an ethereal samurai sword, similar to the one that Tran usually carried, and the two of them stood in front of each other. Nick raised his Gravity Hammer and was about to charge the alicorn until twenty more alicorns came with weapons in hoof.
Despite having his strength and Gravity Hammer, Nick knew that the alicorns would eventually get to him and win so Nick did the smartest thing possible, a tactical retreat. While retreating, the twenty alicorns chased him until Nick soon approached a stone wall. The alicorns were quickly catching up to Nick because Nick wasn't very fast because he had strength. As Nick approached the stone wall, one of the alicorns caught up to him and managed to slash his back with a sword. Luckily, Nick was wearing his new armored hoodie. Unfortunately, the sword was made of a powerful ethereal magic and the sword actually managed to slice through the buckypaper jacket, cutting Nick on the back. Nick knew what happened but he kept on running until he was in front of the wall. The alicorns chasing him stopped and watched Nick as they thought he would run into the stone wall. Instead, Nick kept on running, jumped up towards the wall, propelled himself off of the wall, performed a back flip midair, and landed behind the alicorns. As Nick landed, he slammed his Gravity Hammer into the ground, causing a localized shockwave. The resulting shockwave sent the twenty alicorns in all directions.
Before any of them could react, Nick started running again. The twenty of them got but before they could start chasing Nick again, something small and round hit the ground in front of the twenty alicorns. One of the alicorns lifted up the object right in front of her face and looked at it. What she didn't know was that it was a M67 fragmentation grenade. The grenade detonated and blasted the entire upper half of the pony apart. The shrapnel of the grenade also killed three other alicorns that was also looking at the grenade. Back where Nick was, who was running back into battle, he was laughing like a maniac, or as the other six humans would call it, how Nick usually laughed. Nick stopped running and jumped behind a wall. He slung his Gravity Hammer on his back as he took out Blue Rose and his .500 S&W. When he heard the alicorns that were chasing him stop running and get lost, trying to find Nick, not realizing that he was behind the wall that was beside them. Nick jumped over the wall and into the middle of the group of the alicorns. Before they could react, Nick opened fire and killed eight of them. Nick dropped both of his revolvers and took out his Gravity Hammer. He used the Gravity Hammer and swung in a circle, killing the rest of the alicorns. He walked back to the battle after he picked up his two revolvers. As he walked, he started laughing again from the grenade that he threw earlier.
Nick kept on laughing while running until he was lifted up. It wasn't magic that lifted him up but a large alicorn with muscles and a body size that would make Big Mac and Nick jealous. The large alicorn brought Nick up to his face in a glare and looked into his eyes. The large alicorn then lifted up one of his hooves, ready to punch Nick in the face. An ethereal spike horseshoe appeared and he was about to punch Nick in the face when his hoof was pulled away.
Both Nick and the large alicorn looked to what had pulled away his hoof and was met with a pair of cyan eyes. Fluttershy was using one of her hook swords to hold back the hoof that was ready to punch Nick in the face. "You don't hurt my friends" Fluttershy said. She swung the other hook sword and sliced off the alicorn's hoof. The alicorn screamed in pain until Fluttershy positioned both hook swords in a scissor position and decapitated the alicorn. The head rolled to the ground in front of a few alicorns that were near. The alicorns charged at Fluttershy with swords raised as Fluttershy got into a fight stance and Nick went off to fight other alicorns. One of the alicorns made it to her and slashed at Fluttershy with the sword but was blocked by a hook sword. The alicorn attempted another slash and was met with another block. By now, the other two alicorns attacked her as she was blocking but to Fluttershy's avail, Fluttershy kept on blocking with the hook swords.
One of the alicorns tried a lunge at Fluttershy but she side stepped. Then Fluttershy jumped up and grabbed the stallion's extended leg from the lunge and then threw him with her legs. While midair, she stabbed the alicorn through the eye, killing him. Using the remaining momentum from the previous move, she jumped up towards the other stallion and rocketed past him. Before she was out of range, she extended her left hook sword downwards and waited. As she flew through the air, the hook part of the hook sword pierced through the bottom of another alicorn's jaw and into the bottom of his skull, killing him. Fluttershy pulled back on the hook sword and threw the alicorn's corpse at the last alicorn. As the alicorn was still dazed, she approached the last alive alicorn and stabbed both spike ends of the hook sword into the alicorn's chest, killing him. As she turned around to find more targets, she was hit directly in the chest with a spell. Fluttershy was sent flying through the air and through one wall until she stopped when she started to skid on the ground. She looked up and saw two alicorns with their horns glowing. To avoid the next shot, she ducked behind some rubble.
The two alicorns pointed their horns at the cover that Fluttershy was hiding behind and was about to fire off a spell when something whizzed by and hit one of the alicorns in the neck. The alicorn that was shot gurgled as blood started to fill his through. Both Fluttershy and the other alicorn looked at the alicorn that was hot and saw an arrow in his throat. What caught their eyes was the fact that the arrow was glowing red and beeping. Realizing what it was with Tran's knowledge, she flew to cover behind the remains of a partially destroyed wall. The arrow exploded and finally killed the alicorn and his ally. Fluttershy stood up from her cover and looked to where the explosive bolt came from and saw Applejack. "Yah okay dere sugarcube?" Fluttershy nodded before she flew back into battle as Applejack pumped her crossbow and looked around for a target. She spotted a group of nine alicorns fighting Alex. She ran towards the fight and got ready.
Applejack jumped into the battle and attempted to shoot one of the alicorns with an explosive bolt but failed due to a force field that was behind held up by one of the alicorns. Alex was constantly weaving left and right, blocking attacks from the alicorns, unable to attempt to try an offensive move, but with Applejack he might be able to beat them. Applejack, despite only having a long range explosive weapon, was doing fairly well in the fight. She would block an attack with her crossbow and or smash the buttstock of her crossbow into the face or chest of one of them. With some of them distracted, Alex was able to attempt to attack them. At the current moment, he was fighting side by side with Applejack, Alex with a sword made of fire and Applejack with her modified crossbow. Alex jumped over Applejack and sliced one alicorn that was about to hit Applejack. The alicorn fell to the ground, in halves and on fire. Alex blocked another slash and Applejack shot the alicorn in the chest. Then the two of them realized that it was a high explosive bolt that was impaled in the alicorn and the fact that the two of them were about two feet away from them. The two elements ran from the soon to be explosion while being chased by the remaining alicorns that survived that fight. To add to the explosion, Alex threw a cluster vigor cluster grenade at the alicorn that had the explosion bolt in him. The explosion killed the alicorn and then some.
By now, there were seven alicorns Alex and Applejack were fighting. It had turned back into a stalemate of constant blocks and attempts until another alicorn stepped into the fray. This alicorn wielded a rapier similar to Rarity's and moved with a gait that showed experience. When this alicorn was close enough, Alex swung his sword at the alicorn. The alicorn blocked the slash but instead of pushing the blade away or doing anything else, the alicorn twirled the blade and knocked the blade out of Alex's hand. The alicorn smiled and he swung the blade at Alex. Before the alicorn's blade reached Alex's neck, a gunshot rang out and the alicorn fell over face first, revealing a small hole on the back of his head. Seven more gunshots rang out and the other alicorns fell over, killed the same way as the last. Applejack and Alex looked to where the gunshots came from and the two of them saw Tran in the distance, limping around and struggling to reload a smoking PPK. He turned around for a few seconds before flashing the peace sign with his left hand. He quickly turned around and started walking again.
Alex picked his sword back up as the two of them ran back into battle. Tran limped off as Alex and Applejack ran off to fight a group of three alicorns. These three alicorns didn't have simple swords or spears like the other alicorns. Instead, one of them had a rapier, another had a meteor hammer, and the last one wielding two daggers. Applejack attempted to shoot one of them with an explosive bolt but the alicorn saw it and summoned a shield. Alex swung at the alicorn with the two daggers and the alicorn instinctively blocked. Alex swung again and as the alicorn blocked, Alex swung around and kicked the stallion in the side of the head with his left leg. Because of demon strength, the alicorn was sent flying away. Applejack shot a nonexplosive bolt at the other two alicorns but like every other shot, it was blocked by a force field. She shot twice more at the two alicorns and was again blocked by a raised force field but before the shield was raised, Applejack teleported behind the two of them and shot one in the back of the head and bucked the other in the back of the head, full force combined with demon strength. Like the alicorn Alex kicked, this one was sent flying in same direction. The two elements were relieved that they dealt with those alicorns quickly but before the two went off to fight someone else, Alex was lifted into the air. It was not magic that lifted him up, it was the horn of the alicorn that Alex kicked earlier. The alicorn's horn impaled Alex in the back and showed through his chest.
Before anyone else could do anything, an arc of lighting blasted the alicorn that impaled Alex. The alicorn was again, sent flying and Alex fell to the ground, also electrocuted because of how electricity works. The hole in Alex's torso slowly regenerated and he got back up. He looked to whoever had saved him and saw Ike with Nevan. Beside him was Rarity and Rainbow Dash. Applejack and Alex ran off and to fight a different group of alicorns. Ike, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash looked at each other before the three of them separated to fight.
Ike immediately started to play a tune on his guitar, shooting lighting and summoning bats to fight for him. Three alicorns charged at him, horns glowing from a readied spell. He shot one of them with lightning and sent a colony of bats at the other. While effective, the one that he shot and the other that was attacked by with bats, were somehow still alive. All the attack did was temporarily stop them. As the third one finally closed the distance between the two, Ike turned to Nevan's scythe function and swung at the approaching alicorn. As anyone else would do, the alicorn blocked with his weapon, a sword. Just as the alicorn blocked the other two alicorns also closed the distance. The other two alicorns attempted to shoot Ike with a spell so Ike jumped up in the air and landed behind the alicorn that had a sword. Ike swung Nevan at the alicorn again and the alicorn blocked again. The second alicorn created an ethereal spear and attempted to stab him. Fortunately, Ike reacted fast enough and blocked by jumped into the air again. He landed behind the third alicorn, which created a mace and he swung at Ike also. Ike dodged backwards and swung at that alicorn with Nevan and was met with another blocked.
Before the alicorn could react, Ike pulled out his Colt Python and shot the alicorn. Just like most of the other attempts of shooting an alicorn, the bullet was stopped by a shield. The second alicorn approached from Ike's left and tried to stab Ike with the spear that the alicorn had. Ike, blocked the attack and ran up to the alicorn and punched him several times in the face with the brass knuckle portion of his trench knife. Heavily dazed from being brutally punched in the face, Ike wasted no time and shot her in the face with his pack-a-punched Colt Python. As a result, the alicorn's head exploded and left a body without a head and a red mist. The third alicorn attempted to punch Ike but was met with his hoof being grabbed by Ike's hand. Ike smiled before he pulled out his Python again and shot the alicorn's leg off. The alicorn fell to the ground, screaming in pain until Ike shot the alicorn in the face. The last alicorn looked at Ike before the alicorn swung at Ike again. Again, Ike jumped into the air and the alicorn watched him jumped until Ike landed on the alicorn's face and knocked him to the ground. Ike shot the alicorn in the face and finally killed him. He reloaded his Python in the meantime.
Ike looked around at the carnage until his eyes settled on the image of Rainbow Dash holding still, ninjato in hoof and facing a alicorn with a similar weapon, a wakizashi. Silence filled the general area as the two of them waited for the first move. Then a flash happened and the two of them seemed to have switched spots. Both of them held their sword in hoof, panting until the alicorn fell over, with a large cut on his chest. Rainbow Dash grinned before saying "I'm the fastest pony in Equestria. No one is faster than me."
Rainbow Dash turned around to find her next victim but was met with a buck to the face. She was sent flying at speeds faster than she could have ever reached with her wings. Using her wings, she managed to stabilize herself in the air and soon stopped midair, hovering. She looked around to where the buck came from and saw an alicorn with a staff. The alicorn took flight and leveled off with Rainbow Dash. The two of them looked at each other until Rainbow Dash flew higher. Other alicorns saw this and flew up to help take her down. By now, about six alicorns had taken flight to fight Rainbow dash, including the one that bucked her in the face earlier. Two of the alicorns charged at Rainbow Dash, spears in hoof. The two alicorns then threw their spears at her, before creating another spear and throwing that one. Rainbow Dash, instead of dodging, waited for the spears to come within a foot of her. When it did, she sliced the spear in half and stopped the spears advances. Seeing that throwing spears was futile, the other alicorns charged at her. The first alicorn to reach her swung at Rainbow Dash with a great sword. The great sword being a terrible weapon for flight and a terribly slow one too, was easily dodged by Rainbow Dash. Before he could react, Rainbow Dash had already sliced off one of his wings. Rainbow Dash flew at the two closest alicorns. When she was about five feet away from the two alicorns, she stopped flapping her wings and extended them out completely. Rainbow Dash seemed to have gone in between the two alicorns but as she did, the two alicorns fell to the ground, missing their heads. Rainbow Dash looked at her wings to see the cause of the decapitations and her eyes were met with the image of her wing blades covered in blood. “Thank you Tran" Rainbow Dash said while wiping the blood off of her wing blades.
She heard nearby flapping and ducked, just in time for a sword to past by her head. She turned around and saw an alicorn with a sword, except this one seemed to be an exact clone of her ninjato. The alicorn swung again and Rainbow Dash blocked with her ninjato. Rainbow Dash swung at the stallion but was met with a dodge. The two of them clashed blades causing a stalemate that was unsurpassable by neither sides until the other two alicorns in flight joined in. Rainbow Dash dodged another slash from the alicorn with the ninjato as one of the other alicorns lunged at her with a short spear. Rainbow Dash barely dodged but was met with the third alicorn swinging at her. This time, she was unable to dodge and was met with a large cut on her breast area. She attempted to slash the alicorn that just managed to cut her when the alicorn with the ninjato attempted to slash her again. She dodged but was met with a punch to the face from one of the other two alicorns. This punch sent her reeling back a bit but she flew back into a normal position. She tried to think of a way to beat the three of them until she remember one day she was being trained by Tran.
Two Weeks Ago
Rainbow Dash, the CMCs, Silver Spoon, and Diamond Tiara were sitting in front of Tran, listening to a lesson from Tran.
"This is sooooo boring. When are we going to start sparing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Rainbow Dash, you must be patient when it comes to something like this. This lesson is also important. Now where was I? Oh yeah. Remember, the five of you. When you are fighting, you must be aware of your environment. You may use it to your advantage. In a battle, if a group of soldiers manage to make due with the environment, the battle may be won, even if those soldiers are outsized by an opposing factor. When you are fighting try to look at things that you can use to your advantage. Look for trees, obstacles that can handicap or bother your opponent, weapons that you can use, or escape routes. You must learn to check your environment if you want to be successful."
Back In The Present
'Use your environment' Rainbow Dash thought. Rainbow Dash took off flying away from the alicorns. The alicorns attempted to chase her down but Rainbow Dash had her usual speedster self coupled with Tran's demon speed. She slowed down her speed to allow the alicorns behind her to catch up to her. When the three alicorns caught up to her, she increased her speed again to one that was slightly faster than the speed of the alicorns. She flew around the town, turning and moving around randomly to confuse the alicorns. She increased her speed again and increased the distance between her and the alicorns to about two hundred feet. She dove down low enough to pass by buildings in flight. She turned right behind a building and immediately stopped behind a building. She raised up her ninjato in the same way you would hold a baseball bat. She waited until she heard the familiar flapping of a pony and swung out her ninjato. As a result, two of the alicorns flew directly into the path of the blade and were cut in half. The third alicorn reacted fast enough and flew in front of the alicorn.
She looked at the alicorn and noticed that he was the same alicorn that had the ninjato. She flew towards him, wing blades ready and attempted to slash him. The alicorn dodged and ended up slashing her back, barely missing her wings. She flew up to him, ninjato in hoof and prepared to charge him. Before she charged, the alicorn's horn lit up and he sent a spell at her. Rainbow Dash barely dodge in time. The distraction was enough for the alicorn to rush forward and punch Rainbow Dash in the face. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash recovered fast enough to catch the alicorn's hoof. “Now it's my turn." She swung the ninjato in her other hoof and sliced off the stallion's arm, causing him to scream in pain. Before the alicorn did anything else, she sliced him in half with his own ninjato.
Rainbow Dash started to fly back to the battle to fight other alicorns until she was hit with a spell and sent into the building that was the town hall. Rainbow Dash went through three pillars and a wall before she stopped. She climbed out of the wreckage and looked where the shot came from, only to get shot by another spell. This time, she was driven into the ground. She climbed out of the hole and duck this time, dodging the obvious spell. "What the buck was that?!?" Another bolt of magic headed towards Rainbow Dash. This time Rainbow Dash didn't see this one coming and the bolt would've hit her in the face if it wasn't for Austin pulling Rainbow Dash away with his Undertow vigor.
Austin and Rainbow Dash sat behind cover, the remnants of the stage, and waited for something to happen. Austin looked up and a beam of magic hit a few inches away from his head. "I know where they are" Austin said. Austin teleported behind the three alicorns that were shooting at them. Unfortunately, the three alicorns heard him because teleporting emits a cracking noise when the user rematerializes. The three alicorns turned around and attempted to shoot him but Austin teleported again. He reappeared behind the alicorns. The three turned around to face him to face Austin again to shoot him but as they turned around, Austin stabbed one in the face with his ice cream scoop and he entangled the other two with his whip. The two alicorns that were still alive screamed in pain from the spikes that lined the whip. Before they could do anything, Austin stabbed the other two with his ice cream scoop.
He walked back to where Rainbow Dash was hiding and said "They're done."
"Thanks. PEACE!!!" Rainbow Dash replied. The way she said peace was exactly as Tran would have said it. Rainbow Dash covered her mouth, realizing what she just said. "We have to finish this already."
The two left to fight someone else, Rainbow Dash flying off and Austin walking off. Austin looked around for another target until the target went to him. One alicorn grabbed the whip from his hands and attempted to use it against him. Before the alicorn could do anything, the hoof holding Austin's whip fell to the ground, along with the whip. The alicorn screamed in pain. The alicorn turned around and saw Rarity with a bloody rapier. Rarity lunged at the alicorn with her rapier and stabbed the alicorn through the eye. Rarity looked at Austin and said "Thanks for the help Austin."
"Now you're have Tran's trolliness" Austin said back.
"What are you- dear god man." After saying that, Rarity covered her lips with her hooves and realized it."Scheisse (shit[German])." Rarity ran back into battle and swung at one alicorn with a similar rapier. The alicorn blocked the attack with his rapier. The two of them took off in a stalemate trading attacks, basically causing a fencing match between the two, that was until Rarity realized that she had Tran's other methods of attack. She blocked a slash from the stallion and then knocked his rapier away, sacrificing her rapier to do so. Then she grabbed both of the stallion's shoulders, jumped up, and kicked him squarely in the chest. Rarity managed to knock him away, dazed. She ran forward to him and stabbed him in the face with her rapier.
Rarity chuckled a bit as she walked away from the corpse until she was bucked in the side. She was sent flying through the air but before she impacted anything, she teleported back in a standing position on the ground. Then Rarity was again bucked in the side and she did the same. She looked around for whoever bucked her but then jumped in the air and landed on a alicorn. The alicorn Rarity was standing on smiled and bucked her off. Rarity landed on the ground and tumbled. She looked up and saw the alicorn standing over her with a knife in hoof.
Before the alicorn did anything with the knife, something impacted the alicorn's head and the alicorn fell to the ground, dead. Rarity looked at what had killed him and saw a tomahawk planted in the side of his head. Then the tomahawk was enveloped in a blue glow and was lifted away over to Logan. He smirked at Rarity exactly as Tran would smirk and went off to fight other alicorns.
He jumped into a crowd of five alicorns and immediately killed two of the alicorns with his hatchet and tomahawk. He ripped both weapons out as the others attempted to retaliate. One of the alicorns attempted to kill him by swinging a mace at him. The alicorn failed horribly and Logan deflected his attack with his hatchet. Before that alicorn could react, Logan kicked her in the face and threw his hatchet at her face. Before the other two alicorns could react, Logan ran off behind some nearby rubble. The two alicorns followed him but found that his footsteps randomly stopped and that he was missing. What the two alicorns didn't know was the fact that they were looking at Logan, but he was just invisible. The two alicorns approached where the footsteps stopped, which was also where he was standing. When one of the alicorns was close enough, Logan swung both of his weapons at her and killed her. The remaining alicorn saw this and started to randomly shoot magic. None of the spells managed to hit Logan and the alicorn was soon killed by Logan when a tomahawk wanted to be planted in the alicorn's face. Logan ran off to fight more alicorns.
By now, the entire fight had killed them all off except for about ten of them. The remaining alicorns were in a close vicinity of each other. The twelve elements tried to kill any of them but were unsuccessful. What the twelve elements didn't know was that every time one of the alicorns died, the powers of that alicorn went into the other alicorns equally. That means every time an alicorn is killed, the others get more powerful. The remaining alicorns were near invincible by now. Unfortunately for the alicorns the elements started to work together and kill off more of the alicorns until there were about five alicorns left. However, in these five alicorns was enough power to rival Discord, Celestia, Luna, the EOH's, the EOS's, and basically any other powerful magical being put together. Any attack from the elements was futile against the alicorns.
"ENOUGH!!!" one of the alicorns yelled. This alicorn was recognized as Grey Hoof. The five alicorns lifted the twelve elements up and contained them in bubbles. Previously, the alicorns weren't able to do this because earlier when they tried this, the twelve elements were too spread out to contain them all at once. Right now, the twelve elements were in the same general area. Grey Hoof quickly took away their weapons and threw them to the ground. "You may have killed most of us but now you will die."
The twelve elements were each in their own bubbles that kept them away from their weapons and each other. They were trying to break out, using magic or trying to smash the bubble with their fists, hooves, and or legs. Then the twelve of them stopped as they realized getting out was futile and they were going to die. The twelve of them thought they were going to be scared of death but found that they weren't. The twelve of them realized that with Tran's personality, they were prepared for death. The twelve of them stood, eyes closed as they waited for the inevitable end.
"Are the twelve of you ready to die?" Grey Hoof asked. The twelve elements didn't respond and they just open their eyes to glare at Grey Hoof. The twelve elements were lifted up in the air in magical bubbles to make sure they wouldn't escape. The remaining five alicorns lit up their horns and prepared to finally get rid of the elements with a spell. That was, until three gunshots rang out and impacted a shield that was covering Grey Hoof. Everyone looked to where the shots came from and they saw Tran a smoking PPK in his left hand.
Tran's Point Of View
I limped towards the alicorns until I was close enough to accurately shoot at them. Once I was close enough, I fired three shots at the alicorn that resembled Grey Hoof. I knew these shots would not be able to kill Grey Hoof. Everyone looked at me, my PPK still smoking. I opened fired at Grey Hoof again with my PPK until the slide locked back, indicating that I ran out of ammo. The eight rounds I fired at Grey Hoof were futile as every shot was blocked by a shield. I reloaded my PPK. I reaimed at Grey Hoof again. Before I could do anything, Grey Hoof blasted me with a small bolt of magic and sent me flying into a building. A sickening crack was heard as I impacted a wall. I fell to the ground and crawled up to the wall, sitting upright, PPK still in my right hand. I aimed the small pistol at Grey Hoof again as he watched me. I knew my pistol wouldn't be able to do anything to him but I still preferred a weapon in my hand.
"Silly human. You think you can kill us with your puny toy that you call a toy" Grey Hoof said. I still pointed my pistol at his face as he watched me.
I glared at Grey Hoof before I said "You're not going to win."
"What makes you think that? We have your friends in the same situation as you and they can't break out. They have power that outmatches yours a thousand fold. What makes you think that you will succeed if they failed?" Grey Hoof asked.
"One, they may have my power but they don't have my ingenuity or mind. Two, I'm Asian. Three, I'm Tran. Four, I have this" I said while holding up a small object in my right hand.
"And what is that?"
"Well my little pony enemy, this is a m57 firing device, informally called the clacker from the clacking noise it makes when it is squeezed" I explained.
"And what does that do?"
"Well Grey Hoof, this device is used to detonate paltry or voluminous amounts of ordnance containing a great amount of potential energy, such as the 45 kilograms of Composition C you are perched upon."
"What?" everyone said.
"Let me elaborate even more. That spell that sent me flying into the building knocked me out of the lethality 100 G's zone that would come from the Composition C that I planted. The force field that surrounds my friends also protects them also. What you guys just did was seal your fate."
"I don't know how that allows you to win this fight" Grey Hoof said back. What everyone, besides me, didn't know was that instead of randomly limping around the area where they fought, I was planting C4 to kill the alicorns, knowing this would happen because I noticed how the alicorn's magical auras grew whenever one was killed. I quickly figured out what was going to happen and predicted where to place the C4. Currently, the remaining alicorns and my twelve friends were standing and floating on top of 100 pounds of C4.
I spat out some blood before I smiled while looking at Grey Hoof. “That means, I win." I squeezed the detonator.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
As the shockwave impacted me, I completely blacked out and lost consciousness.
