Princess Flurry Heart, Defender of the Crystal Empire

"You catch on fast young princess, it's a shame that we can't be friends..." Majesty smiled sinisterly.

"Why would I ever want to be friends with you..." Flurry snarled back. "I demand you bring back my parents, the guards, and leave this kingdom while you can..."

"Leave?" Majesty laughed. "Why would I ever want to leave? I'm here to take control of this kingdom and I plan on staying here forever..."

"Well, you're going to have to get through me first." Flurry taking her stand as she was ready to magic duel Majesty.

"I thought so... That was my plan after all..." And Majesty fired up her magic and shot it at Flurry, only for Flurry to quickly teleport away and appear behind her opponent, taking her shot as it hit Majesty and pushed her back, Majesty falling down as Flurry came up.

"You thought I would be so naive, I learned a thing or two from my family..." Flurry stated as she came closer, only for Majesty to quickly turn her head and shoot Flurry, Flurry flying backward and landing on her back, out on the street as Majesty came up, Flurry quickly standing up, a little hurt, but still eager to beat Majesty.

"And I been patient and waiting for an opportunity like this..." Majesty replied as she shot her magic once again, meeting Flurry's magic as the two were engaged in a magical tug of war, trying to push each other's magic, giving more and more into it, but the young princess was slowly losing... "Give it up you little princess, you're not as strong as me..."

"Yes, I am..." Flurry stated angrily while struggling. "I will defeat you..."

"You can't..." Majesty returned as finally the pushing match was over as Majesty's magic reached Flurry, the young princess flying back once again as she crashed right into a house on the other side of the street and feel back down.

As Flurry felt the pain all over, she panted rapidly, losing strength as she didn't know how much longer she could keep this up. As Flurry struggled to even stand up on her hooves, she saw the shadow and in a second, the white hooves of Majesty as the young princess slowly looked up to look right into the crazed unicorn's eyes. Flurry shot out her magic, but it was so weak at this point that Majesty easily shielded herself before picking up the young princess with her magic and slammed her back down on the ground several times.

"Had enough yet?" Majesty sighed, sounding very bored of what she thought was a pathetic showing from Flurry.

"No..." Flurry answered weakly. "I'm not done yet..."

"That's too bad..." Majesty replied. "I hate to mess up your pretty mane..." And Majesty went right back to beating Flurry...

Back at the Crystal Palace...

"I don't like it..." Abby stated as the female griffon was pacing back and forth. "She has been out there way too long, we should go look for her."

"No, Flurry stated friends must stay here." Khan replied.

"Yeah, if anyone is strong enough Flurry is." Teresa agreed. "She'll be back."

And just as Teresa spoke this, several guards came galloping past them, to one of the balconies as a loud voice came calling out.

"It's over!" The voice shouted. "I defeated your princesses and prince, now submit to me!"

"I got a bad feeling about this..." Smoky said as the group of friends joined the guards by the balcony.

As the group of friends got there, they stood in shock as they saw a white unicorn, holding onto several objects with her magic, but the worst... a very bruised and battered Princess Flurry Heart, brought down to her hooves.

"Now surrender..." Majesty demanded.

"Ready!" The captain of the crystal guard shouted as he got his own unicorn guards, lining the balconies, ready to take a stand. "Now!" And the guards shot out their magic... Which was easily blocked by Majesty...

"Still resisting..." Majesty yawned before using the additional energy from the guards' magic to send out a wave attack, directed at the guards as the guards had no time to react, being flown backward, luckily Flurry's friends, who were standing behind the guards, managed to lay down flat just in time, the guards flying above their heads.

"This is bad... Isn't it bad?" Feather stating the obvious as most of his friends gave him a "Seriously?" face.

"Come on, we got to save Flurry." Rose urged her friends as she lit up her horn and teleported her and her friends down onto the ground, right in front of Majesty...

"And who exactly are you supposed to be?" Majesty asked, very annoyed at being stopped once again.

"We're Flurry's friends..." Smoky stated.

"Evil unicorn must leave..." Khan added.

"Did you not get the message?" Majesty chuckled. "I defeated the entire guard and the three royals and you are just a bunch of creatures..."

"Than let me send you a new message..." Rose taking a step froward before shooting out her own magic, which of course... Majesty easily dealt with, sending Rose flying and hitting one of the crystal pillars holding up the palace.

"Rose!" Feather cried out as he then got very angry, Rose being his special friend as he then charged at Majesty, ready to claw the unicorn, but Smoky and Teresa held onto Feather's sides, holding the hippogriff back from also getting hurt.

"Easy buddy!" Teresa shouted.

"Yeah, you want to get blasted too!?" Smoky agreed as he held onto his tight grip on his friend.

"I don't care!" Feather cried out. "No one hurts Rose and gets away with it!"

"I would love to pound you too..." Majesty sighed. "But I wasted enough time with you all, I came to claim the Crystal Empire as my own... Here... Have your useless princess friend, she gave me a very boring fight anyway..." Majesty releasing Flurry from her magical hold as the princess fell onto the ground, Abby and Khan going to her as Feather was slowly let go by Smoky and Teresa, the hippogriff a mess as he then went to make sure Rose was okay, Majesty going inside the palace to finish up whatever resistance was left, leaving the group of friends powerless to stop her.

"Come on Flurry..." Abby spoke to her alicorn friend softly. "Wake up..."

And in a miracle, Flurry woke up, slowly opening her eyes as she saw first the griffon's face, before seeing Khan's.

"Thank goodness Flurry is okay." Khan sighed.

"Abby... Khan..." Flurry spoke. "Where is everyone else?"

"Right here Flurry." Smoky replied as Abby helped up Flurry, the alicorn struggling stand up properly as she saw the rest of her friends, including Rose, who was also hurt and on Feather's back.

"Now that you're awake, lets go kick that unicorn's butt together." Teresa saying in confidence despite seeing what Majesty can do.

"No..." Flurry replied. "She's too powerful, we have to hide..."

"Come on Flurry... You can't give up your home!" Smoky very surprised.

"Flurry's right..." Feather coming up. "Both her and Rose are hurt and need time to rest." Feather trying his best to hide his emotions.

"I know just the place where we can hide." Flurry telling her friends as she began trotting away from the palace, not just in a crippled state, but with a heavy heart.

A little later...

"We should be fine in here..." Flurry told her friends as she opened a door and her friends went in one by one. "I just hope Majesty doesn't find us." Flurry told herself in her head as she was the last one in, closing the door.

"So who's house is this exactly?" Abby asked.

"My crystaller's old house, he left not too late ago to live in Ponyville with my Auntie Starlight." Flurry answered.

Meanwhile Feather quickly laid down Rose on a nearby couch, making sure Rose was comfortable as the unicorn opened her eyes.

"Feather?" Rose asked quietly.

"Thank goodness Rose..." Feather sighed with relief. "I thought you would never wake up..." Feather shedding a tear.

"Well, I can't leave you heartbroken can I?" Rose joked as she coughed, the soughing hurting her a little.

"It's good to see you awake Rose." Flurry noticing.

"Flurry..." Rose smiling. "I'm glad to see you're okay."

"Me too..." Flurry then lowering her head. "At least we're okay..."

"So what exactly are we going to do?" Smoky asked.

"I'm going to write a letter to my Auntie Twily, she'll come with reinforcements and hopefully she and her friends can defeat Majesty." Flurry coming up with a solution. "But it will take time for them to get here."

"We can't just sit here and wait..." Teresa argued. "We have to do something."

"And what?" Abby arguing back. "Let her beat us up like Flurry and Rose?"

"I agree with Teresa... I want to show that unicorn what hippogriffs can do when they're angry..." Feather determined to get his own revenge for Rose.

"Feather, I know you're mad, but you're going to get just as much hurt, if not worse..." Smoky crossing his arms.

"You want to test me..." Feather getting right up to his dragon friend's face.

"Friends not enemies..." Khan looking to separate the two.

And so the group of friends, except Flurry, contained arguing with each other until Flurry had enough, looking to settle the matter.

"Enough!" Flurry shouted, loud enough that all of her friends stopped at once.

"I agree with both, we can't just sit here and wait for help to come, but Majesty will beat us again if we try." Flurry saying.

"So what are you suggesting Flurry?" Rose asked.

"I remember when my Auntie Twily first told me about the time she defeated Nightmare Moon, the original elements of harmony were destroyed, but she defeated Nightmare Moon and returned Luna with the help of her friends and the magic of friendship..." Flurry explaining.

"So that means what exactly?" Teresa not getting the point.

"I think it's time we pay a visit to her Majesty..." Flurry finishing.
