Pegasi First

"Applejack" Dash spat. "It's been too long"

"Word is you've gone crazy. Twilight said that she was going to cut you up. What the hell have you done?"

"I've won!" Dash laughed "Don't you see? The Pegasi are free again! And I'm in control..." An evil smile spread slowly across her face. She looked around, the once bustling square was now as quiet as a graveyard.

AJ shook her head "You are crazy! What happened to you?"

"Oh, you know, WAR!" She started nervously playing with her knives, eyes darting across the square. "You're not alone..." Dash whispered.

"What?"

"They're here" Rainbow smiled "I hope you've got your Griffon killing hat on"

"Dash... You're kinda scaring me..." She stepped closer to Dash

Dash gestured to her guards. "It's time" she nodded. The guards flew quickly away. "AJ, do everything I say, hmm?"

"Why? What's happening?"

Dash sighed, grabbed AJ, then flew towards the Royal Palace. She threw the doors to the throne room open, getting all too familiar with the door handles. "GRIFFON TIME!" She yelled, a little too happily

Twilight glared at her "You cut Shinings hoof off!"

"Um, yeah, I did, but that's not our biggest problem right now." She turned to Celestia. "For one, we are allys. I have sent for the entire Pegasi army, and I shall be in command. If you listen to everything I say, we may just survive this yet."

Celestia nodded.

The door opened, and the ten Pegasi Commanders flew in. "We came as quickly as possible High Commander"

Dash nodded. "Good. Soarin, Fleetfoot, Thunderlane. You three take the west, Spitfire and I the east, and the rest of you the south." She turned to Celestia. "You take whatever you have and defend the north."

"Will your forces not need support?" Celestia asked.

Dash thought for a moment. "Whatever you can spare. Canterlot CANNOT fall, you hear me?" She shouted to her Commanders. "These are the bastards that destroyed Cloudsdale, now go fuck 'em up!"

A loud roar came from the Commanders as they flew quickly from the room to rally their troops.

Dash turned to the princesses. "Try not to die. And remember, have fun!" She smiled as she watched them leave, then turned to Spitfire. "Time to get some new scars!" She laughed.

"Uh, Rainbow, what should I do?" AJ asked. Dash had forgotten about her.

"Get as many Unicorns and Earthponies as you can and get them to fight. We'll need all the help we can get."

AJ nodded then ran out.

"Spitfire! Remember, Pegasi First."

She nodded "Pegasi First"

Dash landed on the roof of the palace and smiled. She looked around, and saw Ponies and Griffons falling alike. She looked up and saw Luna take down three Griffons with one blast of her horn. Dash flew up and hovered next to her. "You're quite the shot"

"And you don't have a scratch on your armour..."

"I don't get hit much" she span, caught a Griffon in her rear hovers and rammed her knives into the side of its head, then dropped it to the ground. "I don't give them the chance"

Luna nodded, then blasted another Griffon.

"You know, Luna, it's pretty unfair that you have magic"

"What do you mean?"

"I think we need to level the playing field..." Dash lodged her knife into the top of Luna's head, then pushed up, causing Luna's skull to crack.

Luna fell, dead, from the air. "One down, three to go..."

Griffon after Griffon fell, Dash was on top form today, and so was her army. After several hours of fighting and many dead, the Griffons finally retreated. Dash landed, then waited for her Commanders. "Take the army back to base, treat yourselves. You did well."

The Commanders nodded, then took flight away.

Dash watched them go, then turned. She walked to the throne room, the three princesses sitting inside. "Where's Luna?"

Celestias face dropped "You don't know?"

Dash shook her head. "Nope"

Tears filled Celestias eyes as the two other princesses comforted her.

Dash coughed loudly, wanting attention.

Twilight walked over. "It's best you leave. Whilst you've still got your life"

"That's not what I'm here for. I wanted to know how many Griffons each of you killed."

"Nows not a good time" Twilight hissed.

Dash turned to leave, but Shining blocked the way. "I know what you did" he growled

"What would that be?"

"You killed Luna!"

"Smart boy... But we can't have you telling now, can we?" She drive her knife deep into his heart, kicked him aside then left. "The Griffons will be back!" She shouted.
