The Last Sunny Days of Equestria

Cannon fire erupted in the sky. The airship headed by Captain Calaeno narrowly evaded another chunk of ice hurled their way by a blizzard with a wild turn. Around them the Wonderbolts flew in formation for support, most of Equestria now united in defense against Grogar and his Elemental Titans which invaded with their legions of demons.

“We're outmatched,” snapped Calaeno who spun the wheel again to dodge another stray chunk of ice.

Below the Titan of Ice, Charlatan, turned the ocean around him into a frigid white nightmare. His massive bulk was made up of angular bluish-white shapes embedded in green gemstones. “You dared to destroy my brethren? You will all pay!”

He raised his block-like arms and a blizzard started to swirl above him. Several pegasus were frozen instantly and dropped with a splash. The Wonderbolts drew back, and Calaeno desperately ordered her crew to unload more cannonballs that barely scratched his hide. “Curses,” she hissed. “Is this really the end, after we worked so hard to rebuild our airship?”

As if in answer there was a flash and backup blinked onto the deck. “We're back,” said Rainbow Dash with a wink.

“Count on us,” said Pinkie Pie. “Oh, but it seems a bunch of us are missing?” She looked around them.

“Sunny must have teleported them elsewhere,” said Twilight Sparkle. “Or should I say Sunset It's confusing, now that we're all united with our counterparts.” She noted that Flash Sentry, Beatrix Belladonna, and the Dazzlings were missing too.

“This aint the time,” called Applejack when an ice storm was hurled their way.

Twilight ignited her horn and raised a dome-like barrier that deflected the attack, a hiss sounded as the snow struck. “We have to destroy his Core. However, that also means we'll have to get dangerously close. It's pretty much suicide.”

Rarity pursed her lips. “We must try.” She turned to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. “Perhaps you two could fly us in?”

“I...I'm not swift enough for that,” admitted Fluttershy with a frown.

“Leave it to me,” said Dash who grinned and watched Charlatan toss more-and-more at the barrier, visibly frustrated while he tried to tear it down. “Hey, if I don't make it back...it's been wonderful. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll be fine!”

“Wait,” cried AJ. “You can't really mean to-”

But the pair of Rainbow Dashes, now united as one, had only doubled in confidence...and raw speed and power. Bolstered by this, she raced at blinding speeds, past the glaciers it hatefully hurled her way, a colorful blur that shot directly at it. Her mind went back to the day when she performed the Sonic Rainboom, the moment when she'd sealed her destiny and formed a bond with her closest friends. “This is for Equestria,” she screamed and performed her second Sonic Rainboom directly at his core.

“What? Impossible!” Charlatan couldn't even follow Dash when she slammed through his Core, like a white-hot bullet, and he yelled, his centerpiece exploding when she passed out the other side. Cracks started to spread throughout his bulk.

Within seconds he crumbled with a thunderous thud and smashed atop the icy sea he'd crafted, no more.

“Rainbow Dash...” Rarity blinked back tears.

Pinkie shook her head. “She can't really be gone!” She grabbed a pair of binoculars and tried to follow the rainbow blur.

“Sh-she'll be back,” said AJ who gripped her stetson to her bosom. “She has to be.”

The airship touched down on the nearest land mass, a small island in the Glittering Seas, and the Wonderbolts landed around it. They and Calaeno's crew gave a silent salute for Dash, uncertain if the pegasus would return. While it was another victory for the guardians of Equestria, they knew Grogar's forces were marshaled all over Equestria, currently attacking.

“A true, loyal soldier to the end,” said Calaeno who pursed her beak. She and her crew raised a drink in her honor.

Twilight and her inner circle bowed their heads, unable to believe one of the Elements of Harmony was lost. Worse, Dash';s human equivalent had perished with her. She couldn't help but think the price to stop Charlatan was far too high.

“Boo!” Rarity jumped and screamed, and Rainbow Dash fell from the sky, landed in the dirt on her back, and burst into laughter. “You should all see your faces! Did you really think I'd kick the bucket that easily?”

“You are the absolute worst,” said Rarity who stuck her snout in the air.

Pinkie sniffled and wiped her eyes. “I figured you'd turn up eventually!”

“Yep,” said AJ who put her stetson back in place. “Say, how 'bout a drink of cider?”

“Plenty to go around,” said Calaeno and her crew carried out barrels that foamed over. Pretty soon everypony was drinking, including the Wonderbolts, and some took the party into the lower decks, until a drunken orgy started to break out.

Twilight shook her head, and Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy declined, but Pinkie and Rainbow joined in, a mass of stallions and mares joining together in celebration. Dash decided to finally offer her team a shot with her, Spitfire, Soarin, Fleetfoot, and Thunderlane all eager for a long overdue piece of her. They hurried out of their sweaty costumes, and she grinned at them, taking the males into her lower holes who stuffed her full while she took turns going down on the females.

Pinkie dallied with random members of both sexes, content to help make everypony happier. The interior filled with sexual musk, the squelches and wet slap of taut and supple flesh, the mess of spilled cum and pussy nectar.

“How crude,” said Rarity who flicked her ears at the thumps below.

Fluttershy hid behind her mane. “It...it is a way to celebrate their survival,” she whispered.

AJ shook her head. “Bit too casual for me. I'd prefer somethin' a little more intimate.”

Twilight Sparkle stared at the skies as the sun was lowered and the moon rose to meet the stars. Her companions had quickly taken to their counterparts, but she still felt a divide, her human self still bitter and lost when she recalled what Adagio and Aria had done to the human Shining Armor. She'd been forced to let it go, but would always carry a grudge.

Was she right to hate them? Maybe it wasn't her place to say. The Dazzlings seemed like they wanted to redeem themselves, but nothing could bring him or their other victims back. She sighed and leaned on the ship's rail, hopeful Sunset's team fared well.
