Back To Work
Chapter 19: Phase Two: Burn It Down

By: Major Frostwing

I sat on the hood of my can using a pair of binoculars staring out at Ponyville. The village was heavily fortified and sported large gun emplacements. I watched the people as they looked absolutely miserable. I saw a guard shove a man aside before beating him while he was down. My hands tightened around the binoculars before they shattered in my grasp.

"Fucking animals." I muttered as I tossed the broken binoculars to the ground. "How am I going to storm that fucking town?" I asked as I rested my chin on the palm of my hand.

"Howdy stranger." A female voice said as I jumped looking to my left to see a woman walking towards me she wore an old tattered stetson on her head. I looked closely at the hat smiling internally. "Whatcha doing way out here?" She asked as I shrugged.

"Planning something out." I said returning my eyes to the town before me. "Any idea to get into town undiscovered?" I asked flicking my eyes to look at her.

"Ponyville is neigh impenetrable. You would need some serious firepower to get past their defenses. Why?" I smiled getting off the hood of my car running my hand over the hood.

"I am going to save the world and the last two pieces are here. I'm gonna guess by the stetson that is no doubt older than you are. You are an Apple." I said as she smiled with pride.

"Yep! Name is Apple Blossom." She chirped as I only chuckled.

"That is one of the pieces now I just have to fetch the last one." I said as I pulled my phone out hitting Thorn's number. The phone rang a few time before she answered.

"What Jon?" Thorn asked annoyed.

"Get Luna. Now." I said as I heard Thorn shuffle about. I heard murmurs of a conversation before Luna answered.

"Status?" Luna asked as I looked to Apple Blossom.

"I have gathered the sixth piece come to my magical position and pick her up." I said before hanging up.

"Just who are you mister?" Apple Blossom asked as I tapped my chin thoughtfully.

"I am the guy who is going to end the Queen and save the world but I need your help. Want to help save the world?" I asked her looking over my car I flicked my wrist as the engine roared to life.

"You want my help to save the world? What could I possibly do?" I smiled getting into the driver's seat.

"Luna will explain everything to you. She should be arriving around..." I snapped my fingers as she appeared beside my vehicle is a flash of teal. "Luna Apple Blossom. Apple Blossom Luna. Now that introductions are out of the way I will be sending Celestia as soon as I wake her up." I shifted the car into gear activating my music. I waited to start my attack Luna took hold of Apple Blossom looking me over worried. I only nodded my head cranking up the volume as she teleported away.

I smiled wickedly as I turned the volume to the max corrupting my vehicle creating the ram bar along with spikes that surrounded the car's body. I revved the engine as I saw a few of the guards pause looking my way. I revved the engine once again this time louder. The guards moved slowly before running to get their defenses ready. I slammed the gas down popping the clutch as the car spun out before rocketing towards the town.

I shifted into my highest gear before they began to open fire on me. The rounds pinged off of the body doing no damage. I yanked the wheel violently forcing the car sideways. The car couldn't take the momentum flipping around a spinning bullet of spikes and blades. The car impacted the wall tearing through it. I flexed my magic forcing my car to land on it's wheels. I slowly got out of my car closing the door with a smile.

"ON THE GROUND NOW!" A guard yelled as I only rolled my shoulders cracking my neck slowly. "OPE-" I pointed at him with both of my hands as he seized up. I held my hands vertically as he lifted into the air matching how my hands sat.

"Oh this is going to be fun." I said as I rotated my hands in two separate directions forcing his body to spun in two different directions. A sickening crack echoed out before I slammed my hands together crushing his body flat with my magic. A few of the guards looked at their fellow comrade before looking at me. "Up to you fucks how this works. I have no issue with painting Ponyville a new color." I heard the clatter of weapons as a few of the guards dropped their weapons surrendering. The ones that didn't...

I flicked my hands out seizing them in my magic before pointing skyward. They took off like rockets into the air. "Anyone else?" I asked as no one moved. "No? Alright suit yourselves." I turned on my heel making my way towards the center of town before a single guard caught my attention. It was the same guard who was beating on the poor man from before. I raised my hand taking aim at his face.

"Please have mercy." He whimpered only to get a sick smile from me.

"Good choice for final words." I took hold of his face dragging him behind me he thrashed about trying to get me to let go. That's when the first of the sky-bound guards came crashing down with a sickening thud. More continued to fall as I made my way into the town I saw the statue of Twilight standing at the ready to defend her home and country. I smiled at the statue before seizing my scared friend by the shoulder ripping the head free of it's spot on his shoulders. I set the head at the feet of the statue before pushing it away revealing the staircase down.

"I'll be back boys." I called back taking my first step down before pausing. "If you scratch my car I won't hesitate to slaughter you all in unique and painful ways." I smiled sweetly to them waving my hand before continuing my way into the darkness.

I marched my way through the tomb making my way to the main room seeing statues of Celestia standing there glaring down at all who entered the tomb. "It will take a lot more than a few statues to make me turn away." I said as I flick my hands away from me forcing the statues to shatter against the walls. I stepped up to the coffin throwing the lid off with more force than necessary. I looked down at Celestia setting my hand against the blade that was keeping her in her death state.

I ripped the blade out tossing it over my shoulder. "Wake up." I said calmly. "The sun must rise once more." Celestia's eyes began to flutter open as she looked at me with a sweet smile. "The flames of war have been fanned. Let us finish what she started." I held my hand out to Celestia as she seized it getting out of her coffin.

"Jon... I am revoking all limitations on you that I set in the past. I want that Queen destroyed." I smiled wickedly as I felt my magic pulse and flex without control.

"Your wish is my pleasure." I said setting my right hand over my heart bowing to her. "I want revenge anyway." I said as I stood straight making my way towards the exit. "Come on my car is this way." Celestia followed me a glare ever present on her face and a smile on my own.

The final piece of the plan was in place now it was just time to move out... But first I needed to get a few more things before I could storm the Queen.

When we stepped out of the tomb I saw the guards standing there waiting giving my car a wide birth. I rolled my wrists before flicking them to the side launching the remaining soldiers into the walls of the buildings coloring them red. "I can see the scratches from here." I said looking to a few of the guards that were staring at me in fear. I only smiled more widely seizing them in my magic. I twisted my wrists hearing the shattering of bones before crushing them in my magic.

"FUCK YEA THAT'S THE STUFF!" I yelled cackling maniacally. Celestia continued moving forward as I teleported myself to the car. "Get in the car loser we going murderin'!" I yelled with a smile opening the passenger seat as Celestia crawled in. I revved the engine a few times before gunning it towards the Everfree.

"I would hope you have a plan to deal with the defenses of Canterlot." Celestia said as I only chuckled darkly.

"I might have a few." I said as I corrupted my car bringing my ram bar along with saw blades as I charged right through the tree line cutting down the trees without slowing.

"I am happy to see your brutality and hunger hasn't diminished over the years." Celestia said with a small smile.

"You haven't seen anything yet." I said as we made it to our exit stopping at a large crystalline tree. "Let's get them activated and then we can get the fuck out of here. The real fun starts soon." I said as Celestia got out going towards the tree. "Very. Very. Soon."
