Darkness Fell quickly over the desert badlands the girls and I were hiding in, Much to my satisfaction. I allowed my change to overtake me, lending an unholy air to my appearance, just as the hunters and villagers came into view. Willow stepped forth, using her magic to make her voice louder.

"We are royal agents! Surrender, and you will be given leniency. Resist, and you will face the full force of the equestrian legal system!"

A few of the townsfolk looked spooked, and others seemed to hesitate, But one of the rogue monster hunters just stole and threw a javelin. The heavy Iron tip pierced Willow's doll-body once again, cracking it further, exposing the arcane runes and machines inside.

"Quiet, Monster. Your kind are through! We will no longer tolerate the lunar princess' madness!" a brown Unicorn with a bear trap cutie mark said, brandishing her torch.

"Ohhh, please boss! Lemme at 'em! I wanna fight!" Greta said, writhing in pleasure as her pants soak further, her cheeks red and eyes dimmed in an almost lustful look if it weren't for the blood clouding them.

"Go. No Killing" I croak. Greta just smiles wide and cracks her knuckles.

"As you wish... ~Masterrr~" She purred, causing me to sigh. If she was gonna be like this in every fight, I was gonna need headache medicine. With a powerful gust of her wings she was over the surprised mob, instantly K.Oing two unfortunate townsfolk with a falling kick. before they could recover, Willow let out a burst of magic, knocking most of them over. I rushed in with crimson and Moonlight. I hissed in the face of the first townspony I came up to, who pissed himself and fainted at my undead snarl. A braver enemy rushed me with a silver knife, only to have it taken from his hand by Moonlight's whip before he was rendered unconscious. Whether the nosebleed was from her flying kick or her gratuitously skimpy skirt/ g-string combo I'll never know. Crimson had hypnotized a few strong earth pony stallions into bull-rushing their own group clearing the way to the unicorn mare, who was shielding herself from Willow's knockout arrows. I charged in and began bashing at her forcefield with my severed arm, the force of the blows causing cracks in the opaque red surface and giving the unicorn a nosebleed.

"N-No...You...You monsters won't get me!" She said, flaring her shield out and knocking me away before pouncing on me with a silver blade raised high. Time seemed to slow as the blade fell. Honestly, I wasn't afraid....I was a bit relieved. I wouldn't have to play hero anymore. I wouldn't have to raise a regiment, or lead them to die in the upcoming war. I closed my "eyes" and waited for the end to come. I'd died once already anyway. A scream caused me to reopen my "eyes", and I saw the cause. Greta was standing there, clutching the unicorn's wrist, which was now bent at a nauseating angle. Her horn was also broken, clutched in greta's other talon as a manic grin split her face and she breathed heavily.

"Fuckin' Feathers that felt good...You cool boss?" She said, her wits returning as the remainder of the mob routed

"Peachy" I croaked sitting up and re-attaching my arm, the recovered black mist slowly reknitting the wound. "Willow...Flare" I ordered. Willow nodded and pointed her horn into the sky, sending a bright green flare to signal the royal guard contingent nearby that we'd caught a ringleader. It was time for some answers.
