Pony Kombat

In the Tartarus Soul Chamber, Rainbow Dash had just defeated a Pegasi cyborg and frozen her in ice.

“A pity you could not have cooperated,” Rainbow Dash said coldly. Applejack entered the chamber. She had also become a cyborg.

“You are ordered to return to the Pegasi Temple for assimilation,” Applejack commanded.

“Applejack!” Rainbow Dash cried.

“I am Pegasi unit P-4D4,” Applejack corrected. “You will come with me.”

“I am sorry for what they did to you,” Rainbow Dash said. “But I will not comply!” Applejack was determined to bring Rainbow Dash back, even if she had to use force. Applejack teleported around, making her hard to hit. But after a well-placed ice clone of Rainbow Dash Applejack froze in place and was left vulnerable. Rainbow Dash ended the fight quickly. Flawless Victory.

“I will face the Pegasi when my task is done,” Rainbow Dash assured. “Not before.” Applejack teleported away as Big Mac and Cadence entered the chamber.

“The readings were getting stronger, and now they’re gone,” Cadence said. “I…” Big Mac pointed at Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash?” Cadence asked. “But… you’re dead.”

“I am not the Rainbow Dash you speak of,” Rainbow Dash said. “She was my sister.”

“Your… sister?” Cadence asked.

“I am only hear to learn Rainbow Dash’s fate,” Rainbow Dash said. Cadence and Big Mac looked at each other, wondering if this new Rainbow Dash should learn the truth. Big Mac nodded.

“She was killed by somepony named Fluttershy,” Cadence said.

“Where would I find her?” Rainbow Dash anxiously wondered.

“Try the coliseum,” Cadence answered. “That’s where…” A pulsing sound interrupted Cadence. The three fighters looked over at the green column of souls inside of the main chamber. Souls began to spew from the column.

“You have disturbed our regeneration process,” a voice said. Spitfire appeared in front of the column.

“Spitfire,” Big Mac said. He rushed at Spitfire and made an attempt to kick her, but Spitfire caught Big Mac’s leg with her psychic abilities. She slowly moves Big Mac’s leg away as she grabbed the other one. Big Mac fought to try and free himself. Spitfire stretched out Big Mac’s legs to the point of coming out of their sockets. Spitfire made one final move. She ripped Big Mac’s legs off of his body. Big Mac screamed in pain as Spitfire knocked him over.

“Big Mac!” Cadence cried. Cadence used her energy rings to stop the bleeding. “Stay with me, Big Mac!” Spitfire walked up to Rainbow Dash.

“We will break you as well,” she taunted.

“Not if I break you first!” Rainbow Dash retorted. Spitfire was regenerated, making her very deadly. But Rainbow Dash and her ice abilities quickly ended the fight for her opponent.

“I remain whole, for now,” Rainbow Dash said. Cadence was trying to reach Special Forces Command.

“Cadence to Command!” she cried desperately. “Cadence to Command, do you copy?” Nothing but static. “Cadence to Command, do you read?” Rainbow Dash walked up to Cadence.

“Did you stop the bleeding?” she asked.

“Yeah,” Cadence said. “But he needs a medic as soon as possible.”

“I must go to the coliseum,” Rainbow Dash said.

“But I need your help to…” Cadence was interrupted.

“There is a portal to the south,” Rainbow Dash informed. “You can use it to transport yourselves back to Equestria.” Rainbow Dash left.

“Mother-f…” Cadence stopped, not wanting to waste her breath. “That portal better be close.” She picked up Big Mac and carried him off.

In Nightmare Moon’s Coliseum, a fight was occurring. Pinkie Pie was battling a random fighter from Equestria. Pinkie Pie knocked the fighter onto her back and raised her fan to kill her.

“I failed,” the fighter said. “I deserve death.” Pinkie Pie found these words familiar, as she had said something similar to Twilight Sparkle. Pinkie Pie hesitated to kill the fighter.

“Kill her!” Nightmare Moon ordered. When Pinkie Pie did not do so, Nightmare Moon growled and killed the fighter herself with dark magic. Pinkie Pie watched in horror.

“Pinkie Pie!” Nightmare Moon called. “You will join me.” Pinkie Pie walked over to Nightmare Moon’s side. Rainbow Dash saw this as her chance to avenge her sister. She walked up to Nightmare Moon.

“Nightmare Moon,” she said. “I challenge Fluttershy, the murderer of my sister. You will bring her before me.”

“No one makes demands of the Empress!” Sunset Shimmer said. She looked for another opponent. “Spike!” Spike approached Rainbow Dash. The fight began. Rainbow Dash used ice weapons and clones to match the acid of Spike. It was close, but Rainbow Dash won the fight with efficiency.

“I would kill you,” Rainbow Dash said. “But that is not my purpose here.” Spike rolled off the battlefield.

“Your followers hold you in high esteem, warlord,” Rainbow Dash said. “They fight and die for your amusement. My sister participated in this folly. I do so only to face his killer.” Nightmare Moon looked at Rainbow Dash.

“And you shall,” she said. Octavia summoned Fluttershy. Fluttershy appeared in front of Rainbow Dash.

“What is this?” she asked. “You are not Rainbow Dash!”

“I am her family and clan,” Rainbow Dash said. “I fight for her honor.”

“She had no honor!” Fluttershy yelled. “You will die as she did!” The fight that followed was a brutal one. Rainbow Dash fought to avenge her sister, who died at the hoofs of this demon. Rainbow Dash thrust her hoof into Fluttershy’s stomach, formed an ice ball, and shattered it. The fragments of ice injured Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash then grabbed Fluttershy’s head and gave it a hard head-butt, cracking Fluttershy’s skull. The fight was over.

“For my sister!” Rainbow Dash cried as she got ready to finish Fluttershy. As she built up an ice blast, Pegasi cyborgs surrounded her and prepared her for transport to the Grand Mare. Fluttershy saw her chance and disappeared. Fleetfoot and Applejack appeared in front of Nightmare Moon.

“Who now interrupts the Empress’s tournament?” Sunset Shimmer demanded. Celestia, Shining Armor, and Derpy Hooves entered the coliseum. Derpy saw Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash?!” she cried. “No!” Celestia stopped her.

“You cannot save her,” she said. “Stay here, or they will take you as well.” Fleetfoot and Applejack requested something of the Empress.

“…We request that we take him back to the Pegasi Temple for judgment.” Fleetfoot said.

“And what do I gain from granting this bold request?” Nightmare Moon inquired.

“The Pegasi’s loyalty and service,” Applejack answered.

“Very well,” Nightmare Moon agreed. “She is yours.” The Pegasi assassins bowed to Nightmare Moon.

“The flow of time has been changed,” Celestia said. “I spared Derpy Hooves this fate, only to watch this new Rainbow Dash fall.”

“No,” Rainbow Dash said. “I will not be turned!” The Pegasi teleported away with Rainbow Dash. Nightmare Moon watched, then turned to Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie Pie,” she said. “How is it that Equestria ninjas brazenly appear before me when the princess of Tartarus was sent to intercept them?” Nightmare Moon was not happy at all.

“Look,” Pinkie Pie said. “I…”

“Be gone!” Nightmare Moon ordered. Pinkie Pie walked away as the tournament continued.

“Pinkie Pie’s fate is a slender rain of the calm before the storm,” Celestia said. “If it can be uprooted altogether…” Celestia stopped mid-sentence. She went after Pinkie Pie.

“Sure,” Shining Armor said. “Let’s go ruin someone else’s life.” He followed Celestia. Derpy did not follow right away, as she silently mourned of the loss of her friend, Rainbow Dash.
