Cutie Mark Cru-Saviours
True Power and Friendship
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI blinked twice, just to be sure that I wasn't dreaming. The others gathered round, and we looked at each other. Some strange spell had occurred, causing a bright light to emerge from each of us. This light had turned each of us into Allicorns and a tiara had appeared for all of us. Each Tiara had a different colour gem to it. Mine was a deep crimson/pink colour. Sweetie's was a lime green, Babs' yellow and Apple Bloom's turquoise. We looked at each other again, all desperation now lost. We turned to Celestia, who had frozen in her tracks. She sent a beam of fire at Babs, but it narrowly missed. The beam flew past all of us and smashed into a statue of herself in the corner of the hall. It was a game of cat and mouse, except the mouse was chasing four cats. We knew she had nothing against four Allicorns. We began to make our move, positioning ourselves in different directions. Then at the same time, we each sent a beam of magic at her. The beams collided, causing an explosion of rainbow. When the colour display subsided, we saw that the Princess was no longer there. Had we done it? Had we defeated the Princess that easily?
Suddenly the Princess dove from the air and smashed into Sweetie who collided with the floor, making a large crack sound echo through the hall. We gathered round to see if she was alright. Luckily she was still alive, just unconscious. Next Celestia rammed into Babs, causing her to fall onto her side. Babs recovered steadily and charged at the Princess. Both Allicorms sent beams of light at each other, each trying to defeat the other. Three guards appeared at the doorway, hearing the commotion from outside. They grabbed Babs and pinned her against the wall. Babs kept struggling despite the fact there was no way for her to get out. The princess flew over to the pinned Babs and punched her square in the face. Babs was immediately knocked out and the guards shouted,"K.O!" Before dropping her roughly to the floor. Babs landed next to Sweetie with a loud thump.
"Two down, two to go!" Shouted the Princess in her triumph.
She charged at me, I swiftly dodged and then shot a bright green laser beam at her whilst her back was turned. The princess sent a shot of mud at me. In the attempt of dodging it, the mud hit my face instead of the wings it was aimed at. I was temporarily blinded. I listened carefully, but knew that with all the other commotion, it was impossible to try to attack like that. I landed and felt my way to a corner of the hall. I sat in the corner and sent flames all around me, nopony was gonna get past all of those. The only problem was that the flames were in front of me, not above. A yellow flash crashed into me, making me land on my side. The blow knocked all of the wind out of me. Apple Bloom sent a water jet at my face that blew the remaining mud off.
"You couldn't have done that earlier?!" I shouted sarcastically from the other side of the hall.
"A movin' target ain't easy!" Came the reply.
I realised that the yellow flash was Spitfire. I looked around, but she seemed to have vanished. I heard a shout from above, and knew where she was. The Pegasus was diving down at a great speed, from that acceleration and height, there was no doubt she was going in for the kill. I tried to move, but my body was frozen in peril, my brain and body had been disconnected: I was as good as gone. I shut my eyes, waiting for the impending danger. Nothing. I opened them to see a navy allicorn using a protection spell, holding back Spitfire. She used another spell to send the Wonderbolt into one of the walls of the crystal hall. It was Luna.
"Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, please go and tend to your teammates," she ordered, "whilst I go and deal with my sister over there,"
I flew to Babs and Sweetie, but still watched Luna, transfixed by her heroic-ness. The Princess of The Night flew over to her elder sister, and sent a navy blue beam of light at her. Celestia sent a bright yellow beam to counter the one that Luna had sent. Luna and Celestia were head to head, each trying to get their magic stronger than the others. Luna's beam began to edge closer to Celestia, but suddenly Celestia's smashed right through Luna's, sending her flying. With a scream Luna fell to the floor, exhausted and defeated.
"LUNA!" I shouted, but there was nothing I could do. Celestia flew other to her fallen sister and began to talk.
"This is what happens when you mess with me! Your little saviour Princess fell right into my trap, and now you have no pony to save you! mwahahahahahahahhahahahahah!" she cackled.
Sweetie, Apple Bloom and Babs rose to their hooves. I could feel a deep, fiery anger building up inside me. I wanted to run up to Celestia and punch her face but ,thankfully, common sense tied me to the floor. To my side, Sweetie put a hoof on one of my own, Apple Bloom's hoof on my other one. We held hooves in a line, and began levitating again. Babs reached across and held Sweetie's; the circle around Celestia was complete. The four of us began rotating faster and faster around Celestia. The feeling of magic swelled up inside of me again, and the rush of power stretched across my body. Babs began to speak.
"The power of courage, like a raging fire," she said.
"The power of faith, like a bright star in the sky," Sweetie added.
"The power of admiration, like a diamond carved from stone," I stated, it was like I knew the words, like they came from my heart.
"And the power of leadership, like a long journey of faith, courage and admiration," Apple Bloom said, "When the strength of friends is combined into one..."
"True power and friendship are created," we finished in unison.
A bright light emitted from each of our hearts, causing a rainbow. The power was unbelievable, there was no way Celestia could have dodged it. When the lights faded, Celestia lay on the ground, a dark green Allicorn rubbing her head next to her.
"W-where am I?" Asked the real Celestia dizzily.
