Sunset looked at green dragon which was as tall as the highest tree in the Everfree forest.

“Burn!” Ripjaw yelled out and exhaled fire with his mouth open.

She quickly powered up her horn catching the orange fire with her magic. Sunset rolling the fire into a ball and tossed it back. Ripjaw quickly swung his tail striking the ball of fire into the air where it flew off into the distance out of sight.

“Damn this world and it’s accursed magic,” He said and tried swiping his claws at her.

Sunset quickly flew to the left and then to the right easily avoiding his strikes.

“You didn’t answer my question Ripjaw,” She asked, trying to keep him distracted.

“Very well, I will entertain your curiosity,” Ripjaw said and his body transformed again.

Panels in his body opened again and most of his dragon feature folded up or disappeared inside. His dragon head detached folding to his back and then another head quickly ascended locking into his shoulders. Ripjaw now took the form of a humanoid robot. His green optics looked at her from his metal face.

“I am a Predacon!” He pointed his right arm which transformed into a weapon.

Sunset barely had time to cast a shield spell as a purple beam of energy blasted her. She was blown back and crashed into a tree.

“Sunset!” Twilight yelled out running across the field.

She found her friend in a brush upside down with her wings still spread open.

“Twilight, I told you to go…” Sunset said slowly rolling over back into her hooves.

“You should have listened to your little friend, now I will destroy you both,” Ripjaw said aiming his weapon.

The sound of energy filled the weapon as it glowed ready to fire.

Rainbow flew over and saw what was going on. She quickly dived down picking up speed creating a sonic rainbow boom.

Before he was able to fire off a shot a streak of blue zipped past his vision slamming into his weapon breaking it off his arm. He grabbed his arm looking at stump as is sparked and dribble lubrication fluid.

“Not so tough now, are you,” Rainbow said hovering in front of his metal face mocking.

“Why you little pest, hold still so I can crush you,” Ripjaw said trying to grab her with his left metal hand. But Rainbow easily flew around him at high speed.

“Too slow,” She said then landed next to Twilight and Sunset.

“Rainbow you're here,” Twilight said and hugged her.

“I thought…” Sunset said and was interrupted by Rainbow who lifted her hoof.

“Well I got tired of waiting, so I started searching and then I saw the fireball,” Rainbow said with a smirk.

“I will cut you to pieces!” He yelled out as his left hand changed into a glowing blade and ran at them.

They each flew off into different directions as he swung at them, cutting trees down in his path. Something then wrapped around one of his metal legs and he fell face first into the grass with a loud clank that shook the surrounding ground.

“Yehaa! Looks like we caught a big one Rarity,” Applejack said in a loud voice holding into a lasso with her tail as she pulled.

“Indeed,” Rarity said and used her magic to tie his legs together.

“Your inferno creatures you will pay for this!” Ripjaw yelled out with his face in the grass.

His blade transformed back into his left metal hand and pushed rolling himself over. Applejack tried to pull but it was no use as he easily snapped the rope around his legs and stood up.

“Stop right there!” Sunset yelled as her horn glowed brightly.

“You do not command me, I will de…” He turned to look at Sunset and saw his own weapon being pointed at his head as it floated in the air.

“That's right me and Sunset got the upper hand or in this case yours,” Twilight said as her own horn glowed.

“You are outnumbered and outgunned partner,” Applejack said holding another lasso in her mouth.

Rainbow hovered looking ready to strike with her front hooves up like a boxer.

“Your primitive minds cannot comprehend the complexities of controlling such a device,” Ripjaw said and started to move forward.

The weapon started glowing as it cycled up to full power. He stopped looking surprised and now frightened.

“Surely we can talk about this like rational beings?” Ripjaw said and started to back up slowly.

“I want you to go back to wherever, you came from and never return,” Twilight said pointed at him with her right hoof.

He looked around at them all and sighed and then looked at a display on his wrist checking numbers.

“Very well, I have wasted too much energy already,” Ripjaw said and looked at the weapon. “Can I at least have that back?” Ripjaw asked them.

“Let me think about that, Mmmm.. No,” Sunset said shaking her head.

He shrugged and then his body started changing form again. His body transformed back into a large green dragon, minus a part on his right side.

"You better hope, we never meet again," Ripjaw said spreading out his wings and flew off into the sky.

The weapon stopped glowing as it lost all power and then dropped to the ground with a loud thump. They stood there for minutes staring into the sky. Both Sunset and Twilight leaned against each other both very tired.

“You were both awesome!” Rainbow said still fully of energy as she flew around in the air.

“It’s was a team effort,” Twilight said with a tired smile.

“Can I go home now?” Sunset said half joking.

Kevin walked along the path heading south pulling the wagon along with Adagio and Willy. The steady sound of clopping and a warm breeze was causing Adagio to doze off. Her head bobbed up and down as she tried to keep awake but it was a losing battle. She leaned over to the left and her head landed in Willy side. He almost yelped in surprise and looked over at human using him as a fluffy pillow. Her long curly hair covered most of her face.

Kevin noticed smoke as he kept on walking getting closer to it. Then there was the sound of someone talking out loud.

“What did Trixie do to deserve this?” Said a female voice.

As they got closer there saw the remains of a wagon that was burning. There was a cyan colored unicorn pacing back and forth in front of it. Her cutie mark looked like a half moon with a magic wand in it.

“Trixie!” Kevin said and reached around and pulled on a belt that unlatched him from the wagon.

Adagio blinked awake and noticed that she was laying on Willy. She quickly sat up rubbing her eyes and then noticed that Kevin was walking away towards a unicorn.

“Who calls for me?” She said, turning and saw Kevin approaching. “Oh, my knight in shining armor has returned to help,” Trixie said acting very familiar with him.

He looked at the wagon as its wheels fell off what remained of the burning frame.

“Were you playing with fire spells again?” Kevin asked, looking at her.

“You dare insinuate that the great and powerful Trixie, burned her own home?” Trixie said, looking upset and walked to him. “There Trixie was minding her own business when fire fell from the sky and crashed into her home, Trixie tried to stop the fire but no water nearby,”

Trixie walked up to him and started crying burying her face in his fur. Kevin gently rubbed her on the back with his right front leg. Adagio stood up and cleared her throat to get their attention.

“Hey now sorry for your lose, but we are just passing by, isn't that right Kevin?” She said in a loud voice.

“Who is that, Kevin?” Trixie said, pointing at Adagio who frowned in response.

Willy was about to speak up but Adagio looked at him and so he kept quiet.

“I am Adagio Dazzle a Siren, now if you don’t mind we must be going,” She said and sat down with her arms crossed.

“Now Trixie, Ponyville is not far just head back that way, I am sure somepony there will help you,” Kevin said and started to walk back to the wagon.

“Oh no, you are not leaving Trixie alone again,” Trixie said, walking with him.

“Again?” Adagio said, looking suspicious at Kevin.

“Trixie please not now, I have a job to do,” He said back up into the harness buckling himself back in with a click.

“Trixie will follow her future husband,” She said, fluttering her eyes at him.

“HUSBAND?” Adagio and Willy said as the wagon jolted forward.

A few minutes later...

"and Trixie using her awesome magic, vanquished the ursa major, sending it back into the everfree forest," Trixie said telling Willy one of her adventures.

"Wow you are awesome Trixie," Willy said with wide eyes looking down from his seat.

His tail swished almost hitting Adagio in the face. Adagio grumbled as she grabbed Willy tail and held it down.

"I heard that story Trixie, wasn't that ursa a minor?" Kevin said glancing back.

"Don't spoil Trixie's story Kevin," Trixie said and looked back at Willy. "It was still scary," She said saw Adagio's red gem.

Adagio noticed that Trixie stopped talking and looked over the left side of the wagon and noticed that she was gone.

"Trixie has never seen a red gem like that before," Trixie said now sitting to the right of Adagio.

"Eeekk!" Adagio yelled surprised by Trixie sudden appearance on her right.

"That was cool, how did you do that?" Willy asked, turning around.

"Trixie is a very talented unicorn," She said and reached over trying to touch Adagio's gem.

"Hey, keep your hooves to yourself," Adagio said and held the gem in her right hand.

"Sorry but Trixie is curious about your gem," Trixie said pointing at it. "Trixie likes to collect magical trinkets," She said sitting back.

"Get your own gem, this one is not for sale," Adagio said and slipped the gem under her top hiding it.

When Adagio looked back Trixie was gone like she just vanished into thin air.

"Trixie has been lonely without you," She said now walking next to Kevin.

Adagio was getting more irritated watching them. The way Trixie looked at him, flirting with him acting all lovey dovey. Sure this was not the same Kevin from her world but it still bothered her.

"Adagio what is wrong?" Willy asked, noticing her expression.

"It's nothing," She reached over and rubbed her fingers in his mane which he enjoyed.

After a few minutes Kevin came to a stop and started coughing loudly.

"Kevin dear are you ok?" Trixie asked looking concerned.

He nodded and unhooked the wagon and walked a bit until the coughing stopped and he was able to catch his breath.

"Kevin?" Adagio stood up and climbed down from the wagon and quickly walked up to him.

"I'm fine just give me a minute and then we can keep going," He said clearing his throat.

Adagio walked in front of him and put her hands on his muzzle looking in his eyes.

"Step aside and let Trixie help," Trixie pushed Adagio aside.

"Hey stop acting like you care, you just want to use him," Adagio said angrily.

"Go back to your seat," She said as her horn glowed.

Adagio blinked and found herself sitting back on the wagon not sure how she got there.

"Adagio did you hurt yourself?" Willy said, pointing at her hands.

"I.. no.." She said still confused and then looked at her hands and noticed blood on them. It was not her blood it was Kevin's.

This is how it started, it's happing again. Adagio thought and remembered what happen to her Kevin.

*****

A crowd of ponies cheered as Babs walked into town exhausted. She was followed by Fluttershy, Pinkie, and a the missing children. The kids ran to their parents who were crying tears of joy. Medical ponies quickly carried the wounded away, followed by frantic mothers and fathers.

"Babs!" Applebloom cried out quickly hugging her cousin.

She helped Babs to remove her harness disconnecting her from the wagon.

Silver and Diamond walked up to her friend. Diamond was not sure and then Babs jumped up and hugged her.

"You're a mess Babs, and now I am," Diamond said hugging back reluctantly.

"I missed you to silly," Babs chuckled rubbing her dirty hooves in her face teasing.

"Oh no, not me also," Silver said, backing up as Babs ran and tackled her.

Applejack smiled walking up to them and hugged Applebloom.

Sunset and Twilight walked towards the crowd. Rainbow flew in and landed near Applejack.

Is was a busy evening at Ponyville. Everyone had questions about what happened and how they escaped. Sunset and Twilight decided to leave out certain details until they had a chance to talk with Princess Celestia.

"Princess Sunset," Lady Justice and Filly Rich approached her.

"Please just call me Sunset," Sunset said and groaned standing up.

"My son Willy has ran away with Adagio," Lady said, sounding frantic.

"And she threatened to eat my daughter," Mr. Rich said, looking at Lady and then Sunset.

"&^%$&!" Sunset swore which caused all the pony in earshot to look at her.

"Applejack what does &^%$& mean?" Applebloom asked looking up at Applejack who just spat out her apple cider.
