"I'm assuming you're one of Nightmare Moon's assassins." Wind said.

He nodded and charged toward the group. Everyone got out of the way just as he plowed through the side of the bus. Wind jumped up and brought her sword down on his head. It bounced off harmlessly.

"What the hell?" Wind asked aloud.

"You'll never break through my armor. Nothing can penetrate dark matter steel." The guy said as he grabbed wind and threw her down the road. She landed with a hard thud and the wind was knocked out of her.

"You'll pay for that you bastard!" Applespice yelled as he tackled the guy to the ground.

Applespice started to beat the tar out of the assassin, but, only managed to hurt his own fists.

"Applespice! Hold him still I have an idea!" Marigold shouted.

Applespice pulled the guy to his feet and held him in place. Marigold channeled her magic and stopped time. She ran over and undid the latches on the assassin's armor. She ran back over to join her friends and restarted time. The guys chest plate fell to the ground and he tore from Applespice's grasp and yelled. He charged the group again, this time aiming for Marigold. He caught her in his grasp and slammed her against the side of the bus.

"No!" Cherry screamed.

She pulled out a cannon and blasted the assassin with it. He blocked the blast with his arms. The blast managed to knock off his arm guards.

"You little bitch!" He shouted as he charged at Cherry.

"I don't think so." Comet said as he fashioned a makeshift tripwire out of a set of guitar strings. The assassin tripped over it and shattered his leg guards. He stood back up and pulled his helmet off.

"You fucked up now. That armor was slowing me down. Now, you will witness my true speed." He said as he charged again, this time with super human speed.

He knocked everyone sideways. Wind got up, with her breath back. She saw what was going on. She charged onto the bus and grabbed the bass cannon. She aimed it, but, couldn't get a lock on him.

"Marigold. Can you slow this guy down?" Wind asked as she helped her friend to her feet.

She winced and grabbed her side. She had broken something.

"I can try." She said as she aimed her horn at the assassin and her eye glowed green.

The assassin was immediately engulfed in an aura of green magic. His speed slowed greatly. Wind aimed the cannon at him. After a minute, it fired. He turned just in time to see a blast of sonic sound waves coming straight at him. The blast hit him and he was immediately vaporized. Marigold collapsed onto the pavement from exhaustion.
