“Let go of me! Stop! Please!” cryed a tannish coated stallion as he, alongside many other ponies, was pulled out of the town by the large brutish ponies of the army of King Sombra. A stallion had wrapped his hooves around the tannish stallion with the red hair and glasses, and hoisted him up into a cage, alongside many other ponies in Ponyville. Many of the ponies were screaming, or crying faces pale with fear and fright. Brownie Button felt the same. He was terrified. He just discovered what was going on with him, and now he, alongside many others, was being kidnapped and taken to who knows were?

But all Brownie could think was about Goldie.

Both armies were charging each other outside of Ponyville, feathers and fur flying. Goldie was scampering around the battlefield, hoping to see Paris or Brownie Button. But she saw neither. She looked up and saw the Ariel fighters, flying towards King Sombra’s army, weapons in hand. She saw Paris leading the attack, not even using her weapon. She was kicking and punching other ponies midair. She was truly a badass.

But then, a streak of green, blue and purple flew above Goldenrod, flying towards King Sombras ariel army. The pony, or at least what looked like a pony flew faster than anything Goldenrod ever saw. But the streak stopped next to Paris, and Paris nodded at it. Goldenrod then had a clear view of who it was. It was a bat pony, with deer-like features. She had a light purple body, and a green, blue and purple streaked mane. She also had piercing pink eyes, slitted like a bat ponies. She was lean, fast, and very awesome. She flew ahead of Paris and was smacking and kicking ponies out of the air alongside Paris.

But then Goldenrod looked up at a hill near Ponyville and gasped. A group of King Sombra’s soldiers was hauling a huge cannon up a hill, and when they got to the top, they secured it down and loaded it with some strange black dust.

Goldenrod barely had time to think when a loud booming sound flooded her hearing, and the ground shook. Goldenrod covered her ears, alongside all the soldiers on the field. She looked up and saw a streak of black and green smoke trailing the bat pony.

And that smoke hit one of the bat pony's wings, and the wing exploded and disappeared. The bat pony plummeted to the ground, right above Goldenrod. Goldenrod galloped to the falling pony and caught her. Goldenrod lifted the pony on her back and shot off.

“She barely weighs a thing!” Goldenrod mumbled to herself as she galloped off the field with the unconscious bat-pony on her back. She had to get as far away from the battle as she could, to save this strange pony’s life.

She heard the pounding of bullets near her and realized she was getting shot at by King Sombra’s ariel soldiers. She galloped faster than she ever could, ignoring the burning pain in her side as her wound tried opening up. But she kept going. She felt a bullet graze one of her back legs, but she knew she had a patient that she needed to save, even know she didn’t even know this pony. But soon, King Sombra’s soldiers quit pursuing her, and she galloped off into the hills, towards the Equestrian armies base.

Soon, Goldenrod found herself at the base, about to collapse of exhaustion. A few soldiers and battle nurses greeted her and took the pony off her back.

“We’ll try to do all we can, but we need you. You're the only surgeon here.” One of the nurses said, pale-faced. Goldenrod felt warm, sticky blood drip down her side, but she nodded and followed the nurses into the surgery tent, where they got to work stopping the bleeding from the ponies severed wing, and trying to save this heroic pony.

Soon, the operation was over, and Goldenrod stitched herself up and flopped on the grass outside. She started to sob profusely, saddened by everything. Many ponies were dying, and her hometown was destroyed and taken over. It hurt, emotionally and even physically.

“Well, they did say, a rainbows tail isn’t quite as nice as the story we knew of sugar and spice…”
