“You know, it’ll be easier if you come with us, quietly.” the female unicorn said.

“And if I say no?” Rachel asked.

“Well, we can’t do anything with your boyfriend or the princess,” the stallion said. “But we can, with your father, Damien, right?”

Rachel’s heart started to beat at a slow rhythm, she could hear it go, thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump. She felt something clawing at the backdoor of her mind, wanting to come in. This tall dark shadow stood there behind the closed door, waiting.

As Brimstone was screaming at her to get out of there, her hand started to squeeze the phone so hard, it broke. Her phone snapped in half and crumbled into tiny pieces like it was nothing.

The claws kept scraping at the door, she felt this burning sensation flowing through her veins as this rage was boiling up to the surface.

The stallion looked at his partner behind the human before returning to her.

The mare reached out and grabbed Rachel by the shoulder.

That backdoor opened on its own and the creature waltzed in.

“Alright, lets~” the unicorn was cut off right there when Rachel elbows the mare in the stomach with such force that it wasn't even human, so hard that it knocked the mare out of breath and off her hooves into the ground.

The pegasus jumped and went to grab her, Rachel turns, shoves what phone that was left in her hand in his face. It caused him to sputter and made him confused before grabbing him by the shirt and pulling him down. Rachel knees him in the groin, lets go and gives the stallion a glass shattering uppercut to his lower jaw.

He stumbles back before being met with a sharp kick at his left knee. There was a disturbing crack and a horrific popping sound and his leg was bent backwards.

“AHHHH!” The pegasus screams in pain as he falls to the ground, writhing as he holds his broken leg. There was a horrendous gash on the back of his leg where a piece of his bone was sticking out.

After hearing her partner screaming, the unicorn went to stand up as this chuckle came from the human.

“Fucking bitch broke my leg!” the pegasus cries out, his kneecap was completely nonexistent. He looked at his broken leg before looking at his partner and then at the laughing girl in horror.

“Whoops, looks like somepony just became lamed.” Rachel said with a twisted smile on her face, looking at the down pegasus before looking back at the unicorn.

The ponies didn’t like the twisted look on her face, when Luna’s moon came out of the clouds, it casted a beam of light down on her face, the two noticed that the pupils of the human’s eyes had shrunk to the size of a pin head and it looked like it was pulsating just slightly. The way the moon shined, her brown eyes were slowly becoming a much lighter color. There was a glimmer of gold layered over it.

Rachel looks at the two ponies, as that chuckle turns into full blown laughter “You two dickwads seriously think I would come with you just because you threaten that piece of shit?” She giggled. “Honestly, if you were to throw that fucker right in front of me and you were telling me what you were going to do to him, bitches I would actually give you suggestions on how to go about it!”

She straightens up after her laughter dies down. She rolled her head till her neck popped, her knuckles popped and crackled as she balled them into fists. She had this predatory scowl on her face as she looked at the two.

The mare ran up behind her and threw a punch, the human duck down before grabbing the unicorn by her sleeve. She pulls her close, knees her in the gut before throwing the unicorn onto the ground.

Rachel straddles on that pony’s back, grabs her by the head and horn and just starts slamming her head down into the dirt and slams her fists all over the back of her head.

The male pegasus managed to get up, using his wings to propel him in the air. Though he was in intense pain from his destroyed leg, he was going to help his partner. He divebombs and swoops Rachel, grabbing her by her waist and picking her up in the air.

Rachel snarled and swung her body around, smashing her elbow into his throat, making a loud gurgling sound. The human wiggled and moved to where she was able to reach up to his wings, grabbing a big ol’ handful of his feathers and ripped them out.

It caused the pegasus to fall as pain shot throughout his body, blood was spewing out. His wings flapped in panic but he ended up falling, dropping Rachel from a ten foot drop. He couldn’t scream because when she smashed his throat, she ended up hitting his windpipe.

Rachel lands with a roll and moves into a crouch position.

She goes to reach for what she thought would be a handle of Spike’s dagger. Then felt around to see if she brought her bow, then looked at her wrist to find out that she ran outside without anything to defend herself with.

“Oh just my luck.” Rachel grunted, feeling like an idiot when she just had this type of conversation with her mate.

And with her breaking her cell phone, she couldn’t call anyone.

Oh well.

The unicorn got up, her face had multiple scratches and bruises from her face getting smashed, her skull felt like she got hit repeatedly with a sledgehammer, used her magic, her aura was teal blue. She picks up random objects - rocks, branches, the bench she was sitting not too long ago - and starts throwing them at the human.

One thing Rachel has going for her when facing opponents that are bigger than her and have wings and magic was that she was fast. She danced around the flying projectiles, jumping and moving past them, darting forward towards the unicorn.

With a leap, Rachel slams her fist down the top of the pony’s muzzle, kicking her in the gut before the unicorn countered. Grabbing her leg, and using her magic to flip Rachel over, slamming her on her back.

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE CASTLE

Spike was still flabbergasted after his mate stormed off the way she did. There was extreme guilt written on her face when she left.

Behind him, Twilight, Starlight, Big Mac, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Discord came in to see all of that.

“What was all of that?” Rainbow Dash was the first to speak up about this situation.

“I-I don’t know, she won’t tell me.” Spike said. Feeling really torn about this, should he let her have her space or go off after her? He grabbed either side of his head and grunted. “Gah, I don’t know what to do!”

Big Mac stepped forward, placing a hand on the dragon’s shoulders. “She’ll tell you when she’s ready. Can’t push her too much.”

“Does Sugar Belle get like this?” he asked the red earth pony.

“Sugar has secrets of her own. Getting her to talk is like prying teeth out of a timberwolf. But she usually comes around eventually.” he said.

“Rachel looked so upset,”

“Has Rachel ever gotten this upset before and took off?” Twilight asked as she approached him.

Spike turned around and looked at the alicorn princess. He gazed at her with a soft look before saying, “Yeah, once back at the cruise...Rarity said something to Rachel that wasn’t any of her business and she took off crying as well.” he responded.

When Rarity threw the fact Rachel had a miscarriage at her face, she ran as well.

“Did you go after her?” she then asked.

“Well, yeah, but this is a bit different...I think.” Spike said, considering. “Rachel didn’t have it easy growing up...it might be connected to that.”

As he said that, he gets this tingling along down the spikes of his spine, he gets this familiar sensation.

He had this back at the empire when Rachel was being harassed by Blueblood during the Gala. He turned his head back towards the open door, just when he took his first steps to go out, his phone rang.

Spike quickly dug into his phone and answered.

“Hello?” Spike answered.

“Rachel’s in trouble.” Brimstone didn’t even tell Spike who he was when he called the purple dragon. “Two ponies have her cornered, hurry!”

Spike didn’t say anything, he hung up on the elder stallion and he flew out of the castle like a bat out of hell, taking up to the skies.

“Spike?!” Twilight called out to him, trying to grab him to get him to tell her what was up but by the time she called out he was gone.

Flying over Ponyville, Spike kept his eyes down on the ground, scanning every inch from above. He kept trying to get a hold of his girlfriend, it went straight to voicemail.

“Rachel, where are you??” Spike grunted. He sniffed the air to see if he could get a hold of her scent. It took a couple of sniffs, sorting out the many smells he was smelling in the area before he picked up her ambrosia scent.

He locked on it, with a massive flap of his wing, he soared across the sky.

The girls were on the ground wrestling. Rachel was throwing a hail of fists as she punched and jabbed and pulled at the unicorn in a frenzy motion. They rolled around the dirt before Rachel rolled on top and started punching the mare’s face repeatedly.

The human got a good few well blows before the mare generated magic and blasted Rachel in the stomach, shooting her off of the unicorn. She flew twenty feet away from her, slammed her back up against an apple tree and Rachel collapsed. A pool of blood quickly generated from the wound she sustained.

Just when the unicorn was about to get up to assess the situation, Spike came down.

With a loud startling scream, Spike slammed his fist down at the mare’s face, driving her head into the dirt, knocking her out instantly.

With a snarl, he whips his head towards the male pegasus who was writhing on the ground. Taking note of the broken leg and bleeding wings, seeing him not as a threat, Spike quickly turned his attention to his girlfriend.

He was quick to run up to her as Rachel got to her knees, her hand pressing up against her bleeding stomach.

“Rachel.” He called her name when he approached her and helped her up.

“Oh, hey big guy.” Rachel greeted with a grunt. “Glad you made it.” Spike looked past the sarcasm as he helped her on her feet, letting her lean against him for support.

“Who are those guys?” he asked her.

“White Mantel goons.” she said.

Spike’s pupils turned to paper thin slits as he turned his head towards the two down ponies with a low growl. He led Rachel to a bench that was overturned from the fight. He lets go of Rachel for a moment before grabbing that bench and turning it upright before letting her sit.

“Lemme see.” Spike said as he knelt down in front of her, seeing where Rachel got shot.

Her baggy shirt had a big red stain and a hole where she got hit, the stain covered her stomach and bottom portion of her breasts.

Rachel grunted but didn’t fight him as Spike grabbed her shirt and slowly lifted it up to inspect the damage.

He glanced up at her face, he did note the color shift of her eyes, her pupils were normal looking. Spike then looks down at her stomach, he could see the wound was the size of a hoofball, just right above her belly button.

“Ah.” Rachel hissed and flinched when he lifted her shirt.

“Baby,” Spike whimpered when he saw the wound. He quickly took off his jacket and then took off his shirt, ripping the shirt into ribbons before he pressed the cloth up the wound.

“Thanks for the save.” Rachel grunted, one hand gripped on the bench tightly.

Spike dabs the area to clean it off before something shiny catches his eye. “Huh?”

“What is it?” Rachel asked as she gritted her teeth.

“Hold still.” He said as he continued to clean the blood off. He continues to wipe, realizing that Rachel wasn’t bleeding at all.

Spike wipes her stomach clean, once he wipes the blood off, his eyes widen. The purple of his scales drained.

“Spike? What’s wrong?” Rachel asked him, seeing the look on his face.

She then looked down at her stomach and she let out a loud gasp.

Right where she got hit, instead of blood seeping out of an open gash or even red flesh, the whole area where the unicorn blasted her, the entire area was covered in gold dragon-like scales.
