Pinkie had been walking in a slow, straight line for a couple of minutes now. The road was calm with complete silence. No ponies around, not even a bird singing beautiful tones somewhere. The silence was painful to Pinkie. The only way she could feel good, was to gain more power. It was around evening until the castle was finally in sight. Only the tip of 2 towers was visible, but she was getting close. Her body was shaking, not in fear, but in excitement. She was ready to see the dying princesses in front of her. Seeing them fade away, and with no other choice, the guards would have to follow her own commands for total world power. Her body even began trembling.

“I can’t take it!” Pinkie said to herself. She needed to destroy something. She looked to her right, seeing a small café, with about 4-5 ponies in it, drinking juice and eating pie with their friends.

“Guess they haven’t heard about the murderous pony. Or don’t care… it’s their fault really” Pinkie thought to herself. She quickly looked to her left, seeing an average house, built of bricks.
“Perfect” focusing her mind she forced several red bricks out of the house, levitating them around her. The house made a few alarming noises, but it was still standing. Pinkie didn’t care though as it was not her goal to destroy the house. She looked back at the café with the big window built in, making her able to look inside. There were around 6 tables with 2 to 3 chairs in there. An old looking stallion stood behind the counter, talking to a younger looking stallion. A little logo was built in the glass she was looking through. “Ponyvillie Local Café” it said. Without wasting another second, she hurled all the 5 bricks straight through the window, at incredible speed. When the first brick hit the glass, it smashed into thousand pieces as the bricks kept flying. Without seeing it coming, 2 ponies got hit hard in the head by the speeding bricks. It felt like time stood still as she observed the big hole the brick caused on the gray mare sitting around a table in the café. Less than a second later, both the ponies that got hit were lying in the ground, yelling. The other 3 bricks missed, and hit the wall at the end, leaving some marks. The other ponies quickly began running around, screaming, searching for a place to hide. “Shimmer!” one stallion yelled looking down onto the gray pony she had hit. Guess it was his wife or something or maybe his sister. They kind of looked alike. Though he had a light yellow fur; his eyes looked very much similar to the gray mare. Suddenly the stallion looked up crying, noticing Pinkie Pie. He was grasping for air as he whispered out something.

“Why?” he asked, with tears running down his cheeks.

Pinkie looked at him for a second while her mind began imagining the things she could do. Immediately the stallions’ eyes burst out in a small explosion mixed with blood, tears, and some yellow goo. He fell down onto the ground screaming, with little strings hanging out of his empty eye sockets. His scream was so light; he almost ruined his voice.

“For fun” Pinkie responded calmly as she continued to walk towards her destination, hearing the screams slowly fading away.

***

The ground around was now shaking around her. The excitement was too much. She was just a few more steps away from the entrance to the castle. She could even see the door leading inside. There were no guards in sight.

“Maybe they all fled” Pinkie smirked.
The place almost looked deserted. One would think; that under these circumstances, they would defend the castle with all they’ve got.

Suddenly Pinkie stopped, looking up into the sky as she saw shadows being casted in front of her.

“Yes.. YES!” She bit her lip with a smile.

Above her were a massive amount of guards, with heavy armor and razor-sharp spears, flying directly towards her. Pinkie was drenched in shadows of the guards above her. This had to be at least half of Celestia’s army.

“Guess she really wants to kill me. I feel so special” Pinkie smiled while shivering. The guards were nearing her as most of the sky was blocked by guards.

“Just a little closer…” she whispered to herself.

“Protect the Princess” one of the guards yelled.

“Now!” Pinkie yelled.
Suddenly a huge shockwave rushed from Pinkie, through the air and hitting the guards in the front, sending them flying in all directions, revealing even more guards behind them. The purple mist had begun circling around her, high through the air. Pinkie lifted her upper body, and quickly smashed it down again into the ground, making the ground crack and sending several big pieces of rock up around her. Pinkie quickly grabbed them with her mind then lowered her head. The rocks were now floating peacefully around Pinkie. In no time at all, another shockwave burst in front of her, this time sending the big rocks with the shockwave towards the guards that was only getting closer. All of the guards avoided the rocks, but one, who was knocked unconscious by the massive blow to his head. He began falling towards the ground as the other guards readied their spears. The back row of the guards started throwing their spears instead.

“This again?” Pinkie sighed. Only this time, there were 30 spears instead of 6. She quickly calculated which of the spears would end up hitting her. The spears came close, and only a split second before hitting her, she stopped 4 of those that would have made contact with her while the other spears missed, leading them to pierce through the ground.

“I can aim better than that” Pinkie said calmly, and then again hurled the spears back at the guards, who were now so close, she was even able to make out their eye colors. All the 4 spears stroke 4 different guards, scratching their amour, but not doing any real damage.

“Stupid armor. I can’t get a good hit in” Pinkie looked at the guards in front and grinded her teeth. The more anger she felt; the more pain rushed through her body, but with the pain she could feel the power. She was only getting stronger. She smashed her right hoof down and began screaming up in the sky.
Suddenly the armor worn by some of the guards in the front row were tightening in, so fast and violent that most of their bones were shattering. Even worse for the guards wearing helmets, as their skulls was breaking by the massive pressure. Just like that, another dozen of guards fell to the ground with their body or head shattered. There still seemed to be around 50 guards left. They were finally reaching near contact with Pinkie. One guard flew in front, holding his spear and charging with all his might towards pinkie. He yelled as he closed his eyes.
Suddenly the guard stopped in midair. “Did I get her?” the guard asked quietly while opening one eye.

“Nope” Pinkie smiled at him and the others guards saw he was standing still in the air with Pinkie just in front of him. She was holding the guard firmly in place with her frightening mind. Pinkie quickly broke the spear he was holding in half and threw it away. The guard could feel tension around his neck, like she was strangling him with her very own hooves. The mist was acting like a rope as it went a turn around his neck and began tightening. She turned him around, making him look in the same direction as Pinkie. Looking at the guards that had now landed less than 2 meters away from her.

“I am getting tired of this” she spoke to them.
“Let me in, or I will kill this pitiful guard and then all of you”

The guard could barely speak as the tension got tighter around his neck.

“What do we do?” one of the white guards asked.

“We obey the Princesses order. We must kill her, no matter what” another responded. The white guard slowly nodded. Without further discussion, they began charging towards Pinkie, with an angry look in their eyes.

“I didn’t think so” Pinkie almost sighed.

*Crack* a sound was heard. Pinkie looked at the guard the mist was holding up. His neck was hanging to the side, slowly swinging from side to side.

“Guess I pressed too hard and broke his neck” Pinkie looked at the guards running towards her.
“Oh well” she said, and threw the guard away. “Let’s go then” she smiled, looking at the angry faces coming towards her.

“She is breaking through” Celestia said calmly, looking to her left, seeing Twilight standing on the throne and Luna at Twilights left side. They were lined up in the throne room, waiting for Pinkies arrival. Luna lowered her head slightly. Celestia's eyes fell upon Twilight; that was standing slightly taller than herself and Luna.

“We’re in this together, Princess Twilight. As soon as we are able to hold her down, we will all three perform the spell, forcing the spirit out. At the minute we see it, we destroy it for good” Celestia had repeated the plan several times now, but this would be the last time.

Twilight looked at Celestia, trying to seem confident. “Got it”

Luna looked out the window to her left, seeing all the guards corpses scattered around the entrance. She quickly looked away again, as she felt sick looking at all that blood.

“I- I can’t see her down there. I think she is heading for us” Luna said nervously.

Twilight could feel her body tensing. The air felt incredible thick, making it hard to breathe.

Celestia looked straight forward, towards the door. It was amazing how she could keep calm in such an intense situation.

“All those guards, just dying around us…” Twilight said quietly.

“They fought to protect this land” Celestia responded.
“There is not a more honorable death than dying for the sake of others. Their deaths won’t be in vain”

Their chat was interrupted as they could hear small footsteps, nearing the entrance to the throne room.

“It’s time” Celestia said with a serious voice.
“Twilight and Luna. Equestria is in grave danger. It’s our duty as princesses to protect this land. Many guards have died, serving us. We will make sure it wasn’t for nothing. I will; I know we all will, protect this land, even if it costs our lives”

Twilight and Luna nodded slowly, understanding the importance of this very moment.

“This is it” Twilight whispered.
