The invisible Stand User stared at the mare above him. "I know you're a Stand User, girly. It is your turn to act. What will you do? Come at me and die? Or lead me to your home?"

Rainbow simply stared at her enemy. Confidence leads to action. Overconfidence leads to defeat. Whoever you are, you're overconfident. You haven't moved from that spot. That means you haven't noticed your loss yet.

The enemy smirked invisibly. "Come on down, missy. It's your turn." He kept his eyes on her as she slowly drifted upwards. At least, from his perspective.

His smile lasted until it was too late.

His eyes shot wide as he looked down. "WHAT?" He was up to his knees in the dirt. He tried to pull them as hard as possible, but they wouldn't budge.

"You finally noticed, didn't you?"

His eyes snapped to the small mound nearby. The one with the eye poking out of it. A moment later, the dirt created a column, rapidly raising him in the air. As he went skyward, the dirt also climbed his body, trapping him further.

As soon as the column peaked, Sandbar shot up it, landing on the top. "You didn't realize the problem? The ground in the cemetery was soft enough for everything to leave prints. Furthermore, your zombies were all ponies, while you are a dragon. It made it too easy to pick your prints out from your zombies."

"The prints?" The dragon gasped. "You mean, you softened the earth to see where my zombies were? And where I was?"

"And if I had died, you would have known immediately, since the ten-mile deep sinkhole I made would have eaten you and your zombies up in an instant, leaving you unable to escape."

"What? When did you... That's right! You stopped outside of the cemetery gate! You created the sinkhole before entering the cemetery! How is your Stand so powerful?"

Sandbar's nose scrunched a bit. "Since you're about to die, I'll tell you two things."

"Why aren't you responding to me? Why are you ignoring what I'm saying?"

"First of all, my Stand only lets me create waves from the earth. But I've found that, by making them big enough and layering them, I can make them last past my normal range, and by making them small enough and, again, layering them, I can make things like this column. Beyond that, I can layer these waves on my hooves to give my punches more power. Simply put, I can only make waves in the earth, but I can jury rig them to do what I need to with the earth around me."

"Are you unable to hear me?" The dragon looked at his hands. "Is this an effect of my Stand? Is it because I'm dead?"

"Secondly, this is the only cemetery that my town buries its dead in. A few years back, I had a precious friend to me. I would even say we were lovers, but she never said anything about love to me, so I don't know. Then, one day, she disappeared. I never heard from her again, and I never heard anything about her after that. I have to assume she's dead. And since this is the only place she could be buried, I have to believe that you raised her for the sole purpose of attacking me. And that pisses me off."

"So what? It's not like I killed her, you shit!"

Dirt covered Sandbar's hooves. "I feel like that's as bad as killing her if you weren't the one to kill her in the first place. I know it's probably not true, but I'm blaming you for her death anyway. Because it will make it more satisfying when I do THIS!" Sandbar punctuated that last word with a blow across the dragon's face.

"Guh! That hurt!"

"And THIS!" Sandbar brought his other hoof across the dragon's face, which was now clearly visible due to the dirt on it.

The look of fury in Sandbar's eyes was one Rainbow never saw before.

"AND THIS! AND THIS! AND THIS! AND THIS! AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS!"

Sandbar continued his assault, but the dragon no longer saw Sandbar. He saw someone from his past. "BIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTCH!"

"AND NOW!" Sandbar raised his hoof over his head, with three pillars of earth rising up behind him. "ENJOY YOUR ETERNAL TOMB! TEN MILES BELOW THE EARTH!"

Sandbar brought his hoof and the pillars down on the dragon, freeing the dragon from his bindings but putting him on a one-way collision course with the ground. A few moments later, the dragon was crushed between the ground and the earth above him. Sandbar went under with him.

Rainbow watched as the hoofprints the zombies left turned into smudges in the dirt, smoke rising up from each one. "We did it."
