Equestria meets R.J. Macready

As the crowd of ponies continued to look on the dead filly, the ponies went over to MacReady and Blake and Twilight said with remorse

"She didn't have to die"

"I know, but there wasn't any other way" Blake said with honesty

"Yeah, but still, we could've cured her...somehow"

"Oh...and have YOU found a cure whatsoever?" MacReady said

"...No"

Twilight gave a sad look at the dead Cozy Glow and before anything else could happen, gigantic footsteps were heard and everybody turned and saw an all too familiar centaur approach and Twilight recognized him and said as she and the whole crowd got in a fighting like position.

"Tirek!, what are you doing here!?"

Tirek didn't speak, merely twitching his eyes

"What is your business Tirek?!" Celestia said

Again, Tirek didn't answer, acting oddly.

"Why is Tirek acting like an idiot?" Rainbow Dash commented

"And why isn't he even moving?" Applejack noticed

MacReady suddenly noticed fragments of his skin was pulsating and saw a tentacle out of his back and in horror shouted to the entire group

"SHIT!!, HE'S BEEN INFECTED!, EVERYBODY RUN AND HIDE SOMEWHERE SAFE, BEFORE HE ASSIMILATES YOU!!!!"

"EVERYBODY GET TO COVER!!!" Blake said

And the moment they shouted, Tirek began to pulse in flames screaming and roaring and mutate into a hugely horrendous creature that was far more taller and appeared to look like a mutated plant like creature. The Two humans repeatedly fired their weapons at the now mutated villain, but their weapons proved not to be effective on ground level.

"Shit, we can't hurt him on the ground, we're gonna have to use the same strategy last time." Blake said

"Yeah, one problem, we don't have any aerial vehicles to damage him!" MacReady reminded

"How about us?" Luna suggested

"What?"

"Me and Luna can fly you up there and you two distract him while the others create explosives we can all use to damage him" Celestia said

"Good idea, now let's hurry!!" Blake said

Blake got on Luna's while MacReady got on Celestia's and were flown up directly, Blake using an M60 and MacReady using a M60 but with a scope and kept the large creature at bay while the other students and Twilight, Neighsay and Starlight both used their magic to recreate explosive barrels and placed them all across the creature, with Applejack hitting one and landing it in its torso while Rainbow Dash threw one at it's midsection as Spike opened it near the creature and ignited the oil line leading up to the open explosive barrel. Spike uses his magical fire breath to ignite the barrels and the other open fuel lines, setting the creature on fire as MacReady and Blake kept on firing their weapons.

"Its working, keep doing it!" Blake shouted

The process continued and as they did so, the monstrosity slowly began to incinerate and the heroes continued this process as Cadance, Shining and surprisingly Flurry blasted the explosive barrels near the creature and tried to keep incinerating its body from the bottom while MacReady and Blake fired on the barrels stuck in his torso in the air at the top. The flames consumed the large creature to the point where it screamed and roared in rage and pain and the creature was covered in flames all around as the heroes continued to shoot the barrels all over it's body. Eventually the creature attempted to retreated but MacReady, Blake, Twilight, Celestia, Cadance, Shining, Luna and all the students fired explosive barrels and personally lit the grotesque creature on fire, where it melted and was ultimately on the ground lifeless. When Celestia and Luna got down, MacReady and Blake got off and took some of the barrels and doused the creature in petrol, as they were doing so, Celestia asked in confusion as they covered the monster

"What are you two doing?"

"Finishing the job" Blake said

And at that moment when they decided they used enough and moved an piece of petrol near the school entrance, MacReady tried to use his Molotov , but the flame was out, Blake tried with a lighter, but it wouldn't start. MacReady asked with dismay

"Can anybody use fire?"

"I can" Spike answered

"Can you come here where I'm standing?"

Spike did so and stood next to MacReady, who said "Can you light him up?"

"What, are you sure?, won't that destroy the school?" Spike said fearfully

"Hurry, he's gonna regenerate!"

"Ok, ok!" Spike said who used his fire breath.

The fire traveled all the way to the fuel line path leading to the body of the downed creature, who was lit on fire and burning to death and screaming and kicking as it was being incinerated to its demise. As the creature was burning, The two were told by Princess Celestia

"Thank you two very much for protecting my little ponies and subjects from that creature, you gave each of our eternal gratitude" she said as the whole crowd gave them claps and smiles of approval as the two merely gave grim looks to the dead creature, which didn't go unnoticed by Celestia.

"Is something wrong?, you two stopped an hostile creature from causing harm to the citizens of Equestria."

"......No, we haven't" MacReady said in dismay

"HUH!?" the whole crowd said in shock

"But we all just kicked a big one's flank!" Rainbow Dash said

"That Thing might be dead now, but it'll come back" MacReady said with disdain while still looking at the dead Tirek-thing.

"He's right, it always comes back and that's why we have to be ready" Blake supported

"Then we can assure you two that whenever it strikes, we'll all be at your side."

"Yeah!" The crowd said with acknowledgment.

"Thanks" MacReady said, turning to them with a small smile.

"You know what this calls for?" Rainbow said

"LET'S PARTY!" Pinkie Pie said.

And at that moment, the whole crowd went to the School of Friendship to have a party, with MacReady and Blake joining out of kindness. Unbeknownst to them, the creatures body slowly twitched and it's human body on the side slowly opened its eyes.

The End...or is it?
