(A/N here's Pinkie and Dash's battle! don't really know what to call these humanoid things, I'll take suggestions. this one is a bit shorter than the others but I'm starting to run out of enemies to fight, AJ and Rarity are going to be doing a support mission and Flutters and Luna are going to do a search and rescue. I need a creature for AJ and Rarity to fight and someone for Flutters and Luna to find and where. Enjoy! -Dark)

Pinkie and Dash looked at each other before choosing their mission.

“Search and destroy?” Dash Opted.

“You bet!” Pinkie exclaimed with a giggle.

“Ah, well...let's see...We've got a group of monsters harassing a city nearby, you up for it?” the woman behind the table offered.

“Sure.” Dash replied and took it.

“Hop on!” she said to Pinkie once they were outside. Pinkie hopped into Dash's arms scooby-doo style and Dash took off with a mighty thrust of her cyan wings.

“Hey there's a Valkyrie with someone in her arms coming this way...that our support?” a Man asked, looking through binoculars.

“Looks like it.” his commander said.

“Great, we get to watch over some little girls playing badass...” one man said.

“Hope not...” the guy with the Binoculars said. When the two finally arrived their jaws were on the ground. The Valkyrie had probably the hottest body they'd ever seen, not to mention the rifle and Katana at her back. The one in her arms surprised them more though, she had a damn SAW and a huge battle axe probably taller than she was.

“You those Tartarus guards that were sent?” the commander asked, unphased.

“Yeah.” Dash replied.

“Right. I was ordered to give command of my forward attack unit to you.” the commander continued.

“Alright, what do you have on the enemies?” Dash asked.

“We've got their location and their numbers. They're humanoid, they look like people but they're much stronger and faster. Bullets cut 'em down easy but once they get close you're done for. There's ten of them, but against my five men that's more than I'm comfortable with fighting against, even with the element of surprise. We don't have any snipers or heavy weapons and none of us are CQC users.” he explained.

“So what we goin' in alone? We can do that. Right, here's the plan. You sit back with us and we launch a surprise attack from all around to confuse them. I'll take to the air and come at them once you guys need to reload and Pinkie'll charge from the ground. Once we get close leave the rest to us, take shots when you can but if you shoot us you better make it up to us.” Dash explained.

“I highly doubt you could take them by yourself...four of them ripped apart half a battalion before they were taken out.” the commander argued.

“Pinkie and I took on four in the simulations. We got this.” Dash argued back. The commander just put his hands up and nodded with a sigh.

“If you die I'm not responsible.” he said.

“Who said you were?” Dash asked.

“This is gonna be fun!” Pinkie whispered.

“Right. Let's go!” Dash said, pecking Pinkie on the lips and jumping into the air. Pinkie hefted her weapon and let loose, keeping perfect accuracy somehow without using the tripod. The soldiers quickly followed suit ad Dash rained down from above. The volley was quickly over, the humanoid creatures devastated. Six of them weren't moving, but the other four were frantically trying to hide from the bullets. When they stopped they cautiously came out from behind the rocks they hid behind, only to have one decapitated and one pierced through the heart by Dash crashing down Katana-first.

One of the remaining two instantly began attacking, but with Dash's reaction time and speed she was able to parry each of the attacks with ease. These things had blades for arms, it was freaky. She noticed one lunging at her back, but she didn't even flinch as it was smashed out of the air by a drop kick from Pinkie.

The soldiers watched in amazement as Dash had a high speed back-and-forth battle with the one she was fighting, neither even scratching the other. Pinkie, on the other hand, had her opponent unable to even get close. She was spinning and hacking and charging at her target while giggling madly, the axe seeming to weigh as much as a feather at that moment.

The one Dash was fighting was beginning to slow down slightly and she managed to land a gash across it's chest, it was shallow but it was a hit. It roared in pain and did a back flip to get away from her.

“How do you not tire?!” it asked in a surprisingly clear voice.

“Years of endurance and conditioning!” Dash yelled as she blasted forward with a blast from her jetpack and a thrust of her wings. Her Katana went straight through one of the blades on one arm, but it also shattered. It yelled in agony as it happened, but quickly switched to a grin as he faced his now unarmed opponent. It lunged at her, but she leapt into the air and drop kicked it in he back of the head. It smashed into the ground with bone shattering strength.

She smashed down onto it's back with her knees, feeling something break beneath her she got to her feet a bit shakily. She kicked it over and it slashed at her, but she caught the blade between her hands like a clap. After a few moments the blade started slipping, so she flung it to the side and kicked at it's head. She proceeded to drive an elbow into it's chest, shattering a rib or two, then kicking it with all her might. It rolled a few times and landed on it's back once more, but completely winded.

She stepped up to it, but it jumped to it's feet and jabbed at her with the whole and unbroken blade. She weaved around them and landed an uppercut that sent it into the air. Before it landed she drove a roundhouse into it, which sent it rolling again. When she approached it this time however, it didn't resist. She smashed her fist into it's skull so many times she lost count. When she finally stopped to avoid breaking any knuckles she looked at it. It's face resembled a dent, but it was still alive. Clenching her bloodied knuckles, she grabbed it's intact blade-arm and twisted the blade off, earning a weak growl of pain.

She examined the blade. Damn, that would make a badass sword. It was about five feet long, had a buster blade look to it and had a slightly serrated blade. In one quick motion she decapitated the creature and, with a thought, tied the new blade to her back. She looked over at Pinkie, who was sitting on the chest of the other one watching her with her head in her hands, seemingly ignoring the stream of blood coming from a gash running from her right brow to about mid cheek.

Pinkie had been spinning while giggling, somehow not getting dizzy. The beast had tried to slow her or stop her with it's own blade, but it had shattered upon meeting the axe. After that she stopped spinning and began actually swinging it at the creature.

She saw her chance, it seemed to had forgotten it's other blade was shattered as it seemed to be using it to defend his right side. She did a large chop motion, embedding the axe into the ground, and flipped over the created. Picking the axe back up by the blades she jammed the head into it's ribs. It yelled in pain and tumbled away.

“Hey! That's mine! You're only borrowing it!” Pinkie yelled and charged after it. Seeing this, it swiped at her. She literally bounced over the horizontal slash. She did a spin-around in mid-air and landed next to her axe. She grabbed the handle and spun, ripping it out of the right side and smashing it into the left.

It made a chopping motion then, managing to catch her face before being stopped by the handle of the axe. She began pulling and pushing the axe handle, as if it were a water pump, and despite her new injury she giggled as she wrenched the creature's rib cage out of it's body. It was still alive though, which almost made her frown.

“Hey! You should be dead now!” pinkie pouted. She could see it's organs now, but it was unable to move.

“Ooh! What's that? OH! And that?” she started, plucking the organs out one by one as the creature screamed until it was still. She looked over at Dashie's fight and saw it was still going on, so she did the most logical thing. Took a seat on the nearest thing and waited.

“You alright?” Dash asked, panting.

“Huh? Oh yeah silly! Just a little thing.” Pinkie exclaimed, popping form her seat.

“Damn...that new drug really works...” the commander said, sliding down the ditch with his men.

“What drug?” Dash asked.

“The drug they put in your food...the Demon blood...” the commander started. Dash looked kinda pissed.

“Oh...I have a feeling you don't know, and I wasn't supposed to tell you that...” he said awkwardly.

“The fuck?!” Dash yelled.

“Wait! Before you ask me anything that's all I know! Some drug called demon blood goes into the Tartarus guards' food! That's it!” the commander quickly explained. Dash growled in frustration.

“Celestia...I can't believe she didn't tell us that...” Dash growled.

“She didn't know about it Dashie! Don't worry we'll get answers!” Pinkie said.

“How do you know she's not in on it?” Dash demanded.

“Oh it's obvious silly, she cares about us too much to keep secrets like that! Now wipe that meanie face off and smile before I make you!” Pinkie explained.

“Yeah? Try to...” Dash challenged, keeping a frown that horribly hid a grin from her face. Pinkie crashed into her with a kiss, making Dash giggle.

“Fine...” she said, grinning.

“Right...” the commander said.

“We'll go home now bye!” Pinkie exclaimed, hopping into Dash's arms.

“Those two...did that Valkyrie really just beat down one of those things with her bare hands?” one of the men asked.

“Yeah...I wonder if that drug is really that powerful.” the commander answered, watching the two fly off.
