Equestria's Corruption

Twilight's POV---------------------------------

Twilight knew the saying: Calm before the storm.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Things had started out well enough, Celestia was able to get an express train to the Crystal Empire so the seven could try their daring plan to revert the Corruption. Things were peaceful, they could even be called boring. Twilight didn't mind, as with all the excitement recently, it was nice to slow down. Twilight looked out the window of the passenger car. Outside the window was a forest of... purple trees?

"Hey Dennis, are you seeing this?" Twilight asked. Dennis looked up from what he was doing, sharpening his sword... again. Twilight rolled her eyes before calling her friends over.

"Ladies, you just got your first look at the Corruption," Dennis said, his tone a bitter one.

"Ugh it looks positively filthy," Rarity said.

"And, d-dangerous," Fluttershy added, shrinking away from the window.

"Yeah, you think your Everfree forest is dangerous?" he asked. "It doesn't have jack-shit on this dump," he said. Twilight tried to wrap her head around all of Equestria looking like this, the ponies, assuming there were any left, having to constantly fight of an army of beasts. Suddenly they heard a loud chugging noise. It stopped for about ten seconds before starting again, a little louder.

"What the hay, is that, 'nother train behind us?" AppleJack asked.

"I know that noise..." Dennis said trailing off before mumbling, "I really freaking hate that damn noise..."

"W-what is it?" Fluttershy squeaked, trying to make herself as small as possible.

"Twilight, Rarity, grab your bows, and follow me," Dennis said, levitating a book out of his saddle bag. Twilight walked out to the small platform at the end car.

She wished she hadn't

A huge worm, a bit bigger and a lot longer than the train, with multiple heads, each linked to each other. Each had large eye protruding out of one side, and it seemed like they were linked through their mouths, each containing razor sharp jagged teeth

"WHAT THE BUCK IS THAT THING?!" Twilight yelled over the strong winds.

"What does it look like, its a giant freaking worm, SHOOT IT!" He yelled back casting the spell Twilight knew as "Demon Scythe" and sending the spinning purple energy blades at the beast. Twilight and Rarity aimed and shot at the beast, and most shots hit.

"Twilight, dear, I think it's going for the train!" Rarity yelled at Twilight.

"Shit, I think Rarity is right!" Dennis yelled, switching to Water Bolt, and sending the glowing blue spheres at the worm, but doing little more than annoying it. Twilight had an idea.

"Dennis I have an idea, but its very risky!" Twilight said.

"I'm ready to try anything, lets do it!" Dennis said, grinning at her. They all ran back into the car.

"Dennis, cast Demon Scythe, and everyone gather around me," Twilight said.

"But Twilight the spell wou-" Twilight stopped him,

"JUST DO IT!" She yelled at him. Time was running out!

"Uh, right!" Dennis said, and cast the spell. At the same time, Twilight casted two different spells at once. A lavender sphere engulfed them all, at the same time about ten Demon Scythes encircled the sphere. At that precise moment the worm crashed through the steam train destroying about everything else. Twilight kept her focus and concentrated all of her magic into the two spells. She felt a stabbing pain in her hind leg, then blacked out.
