The Coltland Chronicles

Revenge

"Can you explain why he doesn't have a cutie mark?" Annabel said in a calm voice.

Colette looked up at everypony with teary violet coloured eyes and wiped her nose with her hoof then sniffed a little.

"At one point, he threatened me and in my anger, I used some powerful magic to remove his cutie mark just so he couldn't use his magic to threaten me anymore but I guess I was wrong. It just made everything worse." Colette explained and she sniffed again before Annabel trotted up to her and hugged her.

"Don't blame yourself for this, Colette, we're trying our best to defeat him but he's just too strong at the moment." Sven said and he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm actually wondering how he has a lot of powerful magic despite having his cutie mark removed." Autumn responded in wonder.

Olga flew into the sky and was about to shoot some magic until the jet black pony used something to drain her of her magic. She then fell hard on the ground and she felt a lot of pain in one of her sides.

"I already warned you that you can't defeat me, how could you not have seen that already?" the jet black pony said as he came close to her, it made him look a lot stronger and taller than her.

Valentina and Svetlana managed to defeat the three sirens and were galloping to where the others were. They then saw the jet black pony standing over Olga and Svetlana sped up and knocked him over.

"How dare you be like that with my best friend!" Svetlana yelled and as she was about to use her magic until he then drained her of her magic as well.

She then felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Valentina with so much anger tried the same but she got the same result as Olga and Svetlana. As they all laid there on the ground, the jet black pony suddenly grew bigger and Valentina was the first to see it and gave a quiet gasp of fear.

"Don't blame yourself, Colette, none of this is your fault and you know it!" a mare's voice boomed and wings were heard flapping in the distance.

The herd of friends around and saw the queen flying towards them and Elizabeth, Autumn and Dahlia gasped in surprise and delight.

"I should be the one getting punished for allowing him here. I was right about myself, I am a coward." Colette said in humiliation and sadness and she then covered her face with her hooves and sobbed even harder.

The queen put her hoof on Colette's shoulders and she began to stop crying.

"You weren't a coward when you took away that monster's cutie mark after he threatened you just because you refused to be married to him by force." Elena reassured her and stroked the younger mare's back.

Suddenly they heard loud hoofsteps, shaking the ground and making Annabel and the three fillies fall over. Dahlia then got up and gave a face of fear, the other two asked but they made the same faces as she did. The jet black pony started to walk towards them except that he was much bigger and taller than ever and his eyes had changed from bright green to a bright red! Colette looked at him slowly in fear and the alicorns looked at him in anger.

"So, who wants to go up against me now?" the jet black pony's voice boomed and the three fillies put their hooves over their ears.

Elena then yelled in frustration and flew into the air and shot some star shining magic but the jet black pony caught it and drained the rest of it from her. As she was falling to the ground, Duncan gave a yell of horror and galloped as fast as his legs could carry him. He managed to catch her and he carried her over to Hugo and Annabel where they could examine her and make her feel better. Then Annabel gave a gasp of shock.

"She doesn't have her cutie mark!" she squealed but when she turned to Jordan, she nearly stopped breathing and she then turned away and blushed.

"Where's Valentina?" Hugo asked looking around in a panic.

"And Svetlana and Olga." Elizabeth said in a shaky voice and she looked around really fast with her dark blue eyes.

"Don't worry, they are safe and unhurt." the jet black pony said and he gave a laugh.

"What have you done to my sister in law?" Jordan demanded angrily and he dug his hoof into the ground a few times.

Before the jet black pony could give an answer, he gave a sharp yelp of pain. Everypony gasped then realised that Dahlia wasn't with them and turned around to see her biting down on the jet black pony's left front leg.

"Ow! Let go of me, you little brat!" the jet black pony yelled and tried to shake her off but she kept biting his leg even harder and would never let go.

"Go Dahlia, go!" Elizabeth and Autumn chanted and laughed.

Suddenly, she was thrown off and Magnus used his magic to set her gently to the ground. She then galloped back to him and he gave her a tight hug.

"Are you mad at me?" Dahlia asked in a worried voice then she lowered her head.

Magnus then put a hoof under her chin and lifted her head up.

"No I'm not, what you did was very brave and I'm glad you aren't hurt." Magnus said, stroking his daughter's mane.

"I have an idea, Colette, I need you for this plan because you're now the only unicorn with the amount of power needed for this plan to work." the queen said helping Colette up.

"What if I do something wrong? What if I'm not good enough for this?" Colette said in a panic.

"You need to do this for Valentina, Svetlana, Olga and Elena, they need your help." Jordan said with pleading green eyes.

"I can't lose my Valentina, I almost did a year and a half ago in a cattle stampede and I will not lose her today." Hugo said in a sad and pleading voice, also giving the same look that Jordan was giving.

The queen then whispered in Colette's ear and she gave looks of confidence and agreement. She then had memories of the nice things everypony had said to her ever since she arrived in Coltland and then remembered the memories of the jet black pony threatening her and when he first arrived. She got a feeling of anger into her and she gave her angry look at the jet black pony. She then felt a lot of magic building up inside of her and with all the power she had, she shot some powerful magic and everypony stared at it in surprise. It hit the jet black pony and he shattered into pieces with a flash of light. The magic that he drained from Valentina, Olga, Svetlana, Elena and possibly other unicorns flashed into bright colours and flew to who they belonged to. Elena then woke up a moment later and look confused about what had just happened.

Valentina, Svetlana and Olga woke up in a flash and realised that they didn't feel as weak anymore.

"What happened?" Valentina asked in confusion and she rubbed her head.

"Looks like we have got our magic back!" Olga said in excitement and she flew up into the sky.

"Let's go home now." Svetlana said as she got up and stretched her legs.

The three walked home and they saw the others in the distance and galloped towards them. Hugo looked up and saw Valentina galloping alongside Olga and Svetlana, he galloped towards her and they both embraced each other. Colette then hugged Olga tightly as if she never wanted to let go.

"I'm glad that all my loyal subjects are safe and sound, thanks to Colette," the queen said and she scruffed Colette's mane. "Before you can go home, I want to give a very special reward to your heroine."

The queen then used her magic on Colette and she was floating in the air slowly and some magic surrounded her and when she felt it go through her, she gasped with surprise and then she was gently laid down on the ground.

"What happened?" Colette asked in confusion but before anyone could answer, a pair of wings appeared on her and everypony gasped in surprise.

"You've become an alicorn! I thought you had to be from a royal family to be one." Annabel squealed in delight and she trotted up to Colette and gave her a tight hug.

"Why am I an alicorn? I don't understand." Colette said in confusion but did smile at her wings.

"You managed to destroy a very powerful criminal all around the world," the queen explained. "He was wanted for stealing unicorn magic just to make himself powerful to take over the world but thanks to you, I gave you the reward of being an alicorn and now you can fly."

The herd of friends walked back to their town with smiles of happiness and relief. They then went into their homes and Colette went up to her room and fell asleep instantly. Sven then went to her room later that night and got into bed next to her and held her in his arms and slept against her. She then looked at him slightly and smiled then went back to sleep. Her life was going to be much better after all.
