Luna stared at the bloody body of Seymour, frightened and shocked:

" No, my stallion! NOOOOOOO!!! " She galloped to him and put her forelegs on his body. " Please, my stallion! Answer me!
Answer me! Don't leave me please! " She cried.

I reloaded my gun and pointed to her head, but suddenly a swarm of flying aliens took off, putting her out of my line
of sight! Worst of all, they spotted us!

I quickly launched my Implosion Blast and get rid of most of the vanguard, unfortunately that's the type of spell that
can't be cast more than once in a while, as it drains too much magic. So, I'll had to rely on my Uzi and Multi Hadou"
kens, and also threw frag grenades to the predators that started to climb the tower for the walls!

" Dashie, this a good time for that EMP! " I shouted, keeping the fire.

" I'm trying my best! " She replied, focusing ever harder.

" I'll help you, Dashie! Concentrate! " Twilight enlightened her horn even more and Dashie got covered with rainbow"
colored lightnings.

" AHHHHHHRRRRGGGGGGG!! " Dashie screamed, and, just when all the swarm were over us, her EMP wave finally came out
dissintegrating them all.

The VR Googles in Luna's head fried up, and she didn't even notice.

The effort was simply too much, and Dashie passed out.

" Dashie! " Twilight frightened.

I put my hand in the pegasi:

" She's fine! Let's finish this! "

I stood up and pointed again my sniper rifle to Luna's head, who was still trembling and shocked upside Seymour's
corpse:

" Now I got you, bitch! " I closed my eye to aim better.

But just before I could fire, Shining Armor and the guards, unaware that I was going to put an end to the matter,
rushed to attack Luna. She quickly took off and started to teleport and attack moving around, making it impossible to
shot her.

I raised the gun and cursed. Well, anyway. She's fairly outnumbered. Then, I looked to Fluttershy: She was under
Seymour's body, and wasn't moving.

" Twi! Teleport Flutters here! I think she's hurt! "

Twilight tried to, but failed.

" I can't! That spell drained all my magic! "

" Damn! " I cursed, and cast my surfing board"shaped cloud and went down.

I removed the fatty corpse of my former friend from over Fluttershy, and put my hands on her body: Damn! Broken ribs!
Collapsed lungs! Internal bleeding! This isn't looking good! At least, Shining Armor and his guards will keep Luna
busy.

I looked behind me:

" AHHHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGGG!!! " Roared Luna of pure rage, sweeping down anypony who came nearby her.

Damn. Maybe I had to interfere.

I focused on healing Flutters. Damn, her cardiac pulse is so low! Her blood pressure is under 100/60 and dropping down
fast! Come on Flutters! Don't do this to me!

Suddenly, an earthquake"like tremor almost made me to lose balance, and several pieces of debris and ponies started to
fall near me! I had to cast a shield to avoid being hit! Damn, that pony bitch is though!

80/40...

40/20... Fluttershy's blood pressure continued to drop down.

I sadly watched Flutteshy. Her life was literally dripping between my fingers. What can I do? Totally despaired, as I
found myself unable to save her life, I simply kissed her in the muzzle...

" Ahhhhhhhggggggg! " Fluttershy recovered conciousness with a long gasp!

" Yes, yes, Flutters! Keep it going! Keep it going! Breath! Breath! " I was so relieved!

I applied some more healing magic to her chest, and finally managed to patch her broken bones and damaged internal
organs. How this was possible? Magic, for sure.

She opened her beautiful blue eyes again, and smiled to me:

" I had this beautiful dream... a lovely stallion came to me... and kissed me... I was so happy... so bad it was only...
a dream. " She concluded with a sad tone.

" Alright, Flutters, let's take you outa here. " I cast the cloud again and took her to where Twi and Dashie were.

Twilight's angry expression told me that she has seen what happened:

" How could you...? " She shook slowly her head and half closed an eye.

" Twi, I didn't know what else to do! "

" Don't call me Twi! We're done! You hear me?! Done! " She waved her hoof horizontally, to emphasize her affirmation.

Damn the darned damned darn...

But I haven't time to think on couple problems, as Luna was taking down the last guards. It seems that I'll have to
take care of it...

I went down again, and saw Shining Armor staggering, trying to hold Luna inside his shield:

" Captain! Evacuate the area, I'll take care of her! " I shouted to him.

" Why I should listen to you?! You're one of them! "

" I'm not! And your sister is up there! " I pointed to the tower top.

" Big brother! " Twilight called him, waving a hoof.

" Twilight! You're safe! " He happily exclaimed.

" Do what he says! He knows what he's doing! " She replied.

Shining Armor nodded, and galloped to evacuate everypony, leaving Luna temporally inside his shield, giving me some
time to heal the wounded ponies around. I had just finished, when Twilight appeared:

" Twilight! What are you doing here?! You have no magic! " I quickly warned her.

" I don't care! We'll defeat her together...! "

" No, Twilight! She's gonna kill you! " I screamed, concerned. " Evacuate right now, or we're done! "

" You filthy ponynapper, how can you do this to me?! " She angrily replied.

" And I mean it! "

" But Gus... my love... " She sobbed.

" My love? If you just bucked me out. Don't you remember? " I opened the arms, smiling.

She smiled too, slowly shooking her head.

" I hate you. "

At that moment, Luna broke Shining Armor's shield, and teleported away.

" I'll be back alive. Pinkie promise. " I turned my head to Twi, smiling.

" You'll better. Or I'll kill you. " She replied, smiling too.

I smiled yet again, and teleported too...
