The Elements of Awesomeness
Act III: The War
Previous Chapter"Charge!" Derpy yelled with her group following.
Ares pointed back and yelled, "Attack them!" Then, a bunch of humans ran towards them, spears up. As they started to attack, Derpy swung her sword, cutting two of them right in the chest, making them bleed. Thankfully, it wasn't a deep blow, so insides were shown. "Quick!" yelled Derpy. "Stop charging and attack them!" She then paused and started attacking them again. The rest followed and started attacking. Derpy swung her sword right at the chest of a human, making him bleed.Vinyl fire her laser- um, I mean bass cannon- at a few humans making them fly back and making them have a big bruise that would hurt in the morning. Lyra and Octavia stood back-to-back and started playing. The notes flew around, knocking away the incoming enemies. There was a final, damaged enemy right in front of Octavia, so she took the cello and slammed it right across that human's face, knocking him multiple feet to the side with a crooked neck. Lyra looked at him and said, "Was that really necessary?"
Octavia smiled and said, "Nope." And no, her neck did not extend nor did she turn into Big Macintosh. Gosh, why would you expect that, silly?
Meanwhile, Doctor Whooves and Bon-bon were working together. Doctor Whooves was constantly messing with time; he would stop it so he could run behind someone and kick them in the back, slow it when an incoming spear or punch was being thrown so he could dodge it, and speed it up so he could throw punches at extreme speeds. Bon-bon is still pretty much useless, but she assisted him. In the end, they all met up again. None of them were even scratched. And all of the bodies and around them were bleeding, scratched, bruised, and even a few had broken bones. Ares was shocked how they had so much power not only together, but also individually. The army usually works. But when that doesn't work, he uses more army. So, he points at them and yells, "All of you! Attack them!" Then, all of the humans still conscious on the battlefield charged at them, along with about a hundred more over the cliff.
Derpy yelled towards the regular mane 6, who had just lost their enemies due to the call, "Uh, you all? I think we need some help over here!" Then, the 6 mares ran towards them and all 12 of them stood stood, backs to each other, looking at the hundreds of humans running right towards them. "You ready?" asked Derpy.
Twilight nodded, crown-thing on her head, and said, "Let's do this." Then, they started fighting. I'm not very good at being descriptive, but let's just say that this is some Michael Bay-level action here. Pretend that there's some camera that's above them, and it slowly spins to sides... Man, I feel like this is turning into a troll fic. It isn't, okay? Anyway, they all were fighting, between kicks and bucks, unicorn spells, bass cannon lasers, musical notes, and other stuff, it was an epic battle. The humans charged and threw spears, but they were always ineffective. They always dodged or, if they were unlucky enough to throw it at Twilight, it would be sent flying back towards them at double speed. It was pretty freaking brutal. There was blood everywhere. Really, it was pretty brutal. I didn't get that descriptive for 2 reasons. 1: I want to keep this E-rated. 2. I suck at using adjectives. And being descriptive.
Anyway, when the last human fell, they all got out of their stances and looked at the awe-struck Ares. Then, Derpy smirked and turned around. "Alright," she whispered to the 11 ponies standing around her. "I know how to defeat him: The 5 of you," she pointed her hoof towards the rest of the Elements of Awesomeness. "will shoot your lasers at me, or, more specifically, my sword. Then the you 6," she pointed at the Elements of Harmony. "will shoot your rainbow-harmony-thing at my sword. However, I want all of you to follow me by my side. Got it?" Everypony nodded even though they didn't understand why. Derpy turned around to look at the Ares who still had a dropped jaw. She pointed the sword at him and yelled, "This is it! We shall defeat you, NOW!" She yelled the last part even louder than before. She then charged towards him on 3 hooves because she held her sword high. Half a second after, everypony ran behind her, in a sort of v-shaped pattern. She then yelled, "Now!" The other Elements of Awesomeness then fired bluntly at the sword, making the sword glow.
Doctor Whooves had the sudden urge to set his watch to a strange option he had set before, but not actually use it. "I don't know why," he muttered to himself. "But I guess I will; I do have strange instincts that are usually right." While running, he quickly set his watch to the option.
Derpy yelled for the second time, "Now, girls!" The Elements of Harmony prepared their rainbow-happy-harmony-colorful-evil-killing-thing.
Ares slowly shook his head and sighed. "I never wanted to do this. I really didn't want to. But, I guess I will. You all leave me no choice." He then started doing something indescribable that I will let you minds ramble on about. Then, he did something also indescribable, and then a giant pulse wave was sent in all directions.
"Wha-" Derpy gasped, but was stopped suddenly when the wave hit her, making her suddenly stop in place, eyes wide open, with strange un-graviational balance.
Lyra yelled, "Derpy! No-" Then she was hit by the wave, making her get into the same state. While all of the others were getting sucked into the trance, Doctor Whooves ran away. "No, no, no-" But, he wasn't fast enough, and it hit him. Soon, everything else in that entire dimension was stuck in time. No way to fix it. Everything was to be stuck in time forever. It was the end. Nothing could be fixed- or could it? (Let's just ignore the fact that Ares isn't the Greek god of time, okay?)
The only light or movement anywhere was a flashing light. A small, orange flashing light. Located right on the wrist of the hoof of Doctor Whooves. He was right; his gut did save him, and everything else. How? The setting he set it on was the setting that detected anything wrong with the movement of time. It was a smart freaking watch. How did it save everything? How could it make time continue in an entire dimension? Well, it doesn't; it's Doctor Whooves who does that.
The light stopped from flashing; it just became a constant light. It then blinked off and, milliseconds later, Doctor Whooves went out of his trance and fell to the ground. "Ow!" he said while rubbing his head. He looked around and saw a bunch of ponies, standing still in place. "What the-" he suddenly remembered what happened. He looked hurried around and found his friends nearby each other, in the same situation as everypony else. He ran over to them and saw a panicked Derpy in the front of all of them. She had her head away, and was apparently afraid. He knew that Ares was still around. Doctor Whooves looked around for the giant god. To his surprise, there was no giant god around; only a small, normal-sized version of him where he was before the pulse went out. Doctor Whooves went up to him and circled around him. "Huh... For some reason, he became normal sized from that... Maybe we can take that to our advantage..."
He then shook off his ideas of defeating him and put on the ideas of how he would defeat him: By saving his friends. He went back to Derpy and looked at her. She, of course, still had her regular derp eyes. He then had to think about how to save her. He yelled, "Wake up!" No effect. He made a silly face. No effect. He then stared into her eyes- erm, eye. No effect. He was getting frustrated after 1 minute of it. He then went right up to her face and slapped her across the cheek.
She fell to the ground. She got up and said, "What happened? And why does my face hurt?" She looked around to see Doctor Whooves looking right at her. "Oh, hey. What happened, and why does my face hurt?"
The doctor replied, "Well, Ares did a time-stopping spell, and my watch saved me. And I saved you by slapping you across the face; that's why your face hurts."
Derpy went up to him and slapped him across the face just like he did to her. "That's for saving me."
Doctor Whooves said, "Wha-what? Why would you slap me for saving you?"
Derpy replied, "You know, mares are very complicated things."
The doctor replied, "That appears obvious!"
Derpy turned away and said, "I guess we should save the rest of our friends, huh?"
Doctor Whooves started walking towards Lyra and said, "Sure."
Many minutes and many explanations later, they had a group of 11 mares and a stallion again. "So..." Twilight Sparkle said. "What are we going to do? We surely can't save every single pony in this dimension."
Derpy quickly replied, "We'll figure that out later. Right now, since all of us are here, I think we should just kill that dumb Ares dude, since he's the antagonist to us, and he's absolutely defenseless right now."
Doctor Whooves added, "And he's normal sized now." He shifted to his left, where Ares stood there, motionless and tiny compared to his regular size. "I say we should just kill him now."
Derpy shrugged and said, "Might as well. Alright, let's get prepared. Same stuff as last time."
Derpy then did the same process as last time. "Now!" she said the second time. The Elements of Harmony's laser thing hit the already-glowing sword. It then had regular, light-like glow be replaced by a rainbow one. Derpy then leaped into the air and stabbed the sharp sword right into the heart of the frozen human. He looked down at his bleeding chest and yelled, "NOOOOO!"
He burst into light, causing it to go everywhere. It was so overwhelming that even the ground was too bright to look at. It increased its intensification, and it completely overwhelmed all of them, making them all go unconscious yet again.
Derpy woke up in Ponyville. She was surrounded by a bunch of ponies; they were all her friends. "Finally, you're up," said the purple unicorn. "We've been waiting for you to wake up so you can watch!"
Derpy rubbed her head and said, "Watch what?"
Twilight giggled and said, "The moon launching!"
Derpy sat up and said, "Moon launching? Somepony's going to the moon?"
Twilight said, "Well, not somePONY..."
"What?"
"Okay, this is what happened: We're back in our normal dimension, everything is normal, except for Ares being here. He was mortal, so we're punishing him by sending him to the moon."
"Um..." Derpy was confused. She was going to say something, but she was interrupted by a very loud voice all tthe way from Canterlot.
"Do you like bananas?"
