Disharmony Rises

Across the room stood Pinkie armed with a bow and tears in her eyes.

"Your tyranny is over Pinkamena!" She yelled as she threw down the bow and went over to Pinkamena, ripping the necklace from her and giving it to Twilight.

"Let's free the girls now." Applejack said as she moved towards Applebloom.

Just as she took a step, a wall of light purple magic shot up from the ground and separated the group from the girls. Applejack pounded on the magic force field.

"What the fuck?!" She yelled as laughter echoed through the room.

Starswirl appeared in the force field, next to Scootaloo. He was holding a curved dagger.

"Welcome to the show ladies." He said as he traced the blade along Scootaloo's exposed flesh.

Twilight handed the bag containing the elements to Wind and stepped forward, touching her horn to the force field.

"Try all you wish, you'll not break my magic barrier. All you can do is watch as I use the blood of these young girls to fulfill my bargain to a higher being." He snapped his fingers and a portal opened beneath Wind, sucking her and the elements down into it.

"No!" Dash cried out.

"Now, for the main event..." He raised the dagger above Scootaloo and drove it straight down, piercing her chest. Scootaloo gasped and coughed up a bit of blood.

He removed the dagger and moved his aim to Sweetie Belle, driving the dagger down yet again, only this time, it collided with the blade of a sword.

"What..." Starswirl asked, puzzled.

Out of nowhere, a pegasus in a black hooded leather jacket had appeared, he held out a red kitana and was blocking Starswirl's strike. Starswirl looked into the darkness of the hood and gasped.

"No... impossible... you can't be here..." Starswirl quickly snapped his fingers and disappeared, taking the barrier with him.

The girls ran to their respective sisters, with the hooded pony walking to Scootaloo and cradling her in his arms. Dash looked up from beside Scootaloo.

"Wh-Who... are you..." Dash asked with tears in her eyes.

He threw back his hood to reveal a familiar pegasus with spiked white and black hair. There was a scar across one eye. Dash gasped loudly.

"J-Jet..." She asked.

He nodded and she threw her arms around him.

"You're alive..." Dash said weakly.

"Yes... but, not soon enough..." He said as he looked down at Scootaloo and gently shut her eyes.

"Where's Wind?" Jet asked.

"Starswirl... he..." Dash began.

Jet just looked down grimly.

"I will make him pay for this. All of this." He said as he picked up Scootaloo and carried her out of the subway tunnel.
