Equestria Rush

"Shall we start the corruption now?"

"NO!" Spyro yelled. Vez'nan summoned an ogre and it knocked Cynder out. It the carried her away with Vez'nan behind them.

"Ugh, my head." Blaze said as resuming consciousness.

"Blaze! Finally you're awake!" Ember said happily.

"Yea. We need your help to get out of these chains. They're corrupting Cynder." Spyro said.

"What?! Okay, give me a second." He grabbed the top chains with his claws and they started to freeze. He broke out and froze the ones on his legs, when he broke out, he froze his friends chains. Once they were all out, they followed Spyro to the place where Vez'nan went with Cynder. The room had bones and skulls with some blood on the walls. There was two magma elementals guarding the entrance  to the room.

"Where not going to be able to beat those things. Trust me, I've tried." Blaze said. They then heard the cry of agony from Cynder come from the room. She was engulfed by red aura that was coming from Vez'nans staff.

"Quit resisting! It's futile!" Vez'nan said while concentrating more energy. There was a blinding light that filled the castle. When it was gone, there was the Cynder Spyro fought long ago.

"No." Spyro simply said.

"Well this dragon should be awake in about five minutes." Vez'nan said. "Huh?" He felt the presence of the three dragons. He turned around and resumed anger. "How did you three get out?! Kill them!" He commanded the magmas which they obeyed. Blaze and Ember ran with the magmas close behind while Spyro bolted for Vez'nan. "So you feel confident enough to face me? Well sadly I'm not in the mood to fight." He summoned a barrier and blocked Spyros path. "But that doesn't mean you can escape!"

"Yea it does. Because you trapped yourself in there!"

"Damn It! And these last for about four minutes. Rocket riders, after them!" A bunch of robots wearing jet-packs came out of a near by hall and they where willing to kamikaze into Spyro. He dodged with ease, snickering a little. "You idiots! Use the turbo!" The riders increased in speed, making it harder for Spyro to dodge.

"Spyro! We have to leave now!" Blaze yelled.

"But what about Cynder?"

"We are going to need help first!"

"Maybe those apes that defeated that monster." Ember suggested.

"They are not called apes you idiot! They are called humans!" Vez'nan yelled.

"Come on!" Blaze yelled while flying out of the castle. Ember and Spyro followed close behind.

"Get them! Don't let them escape alive!" Vez'nan commanded the riders and they bolted after them. The chase went on for a good ten minutes until Spyro was struck by one of the riders.

"Spyro!" Ember and Blaze yelled in unison. Before they could get to them, they where hit by two rocket riders. Three more finished the job and they fell towards the ground.

"So, when the Elements of Harmony are activated it can defeat the fiercest of foes?" The general asked.

"Yes, the Elements are the most powerful things know to ponykind." Twilight said. "Now that we got that out of the way, lets get to know each other. My name is Twilight Sparkle."

"I'm Applejack."

"I'm Rarity."

"Rainbow Dash is the name."

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, Equestrias best party planer. *GASP* That reminds me! I need to throw you all a welcome to Ponyville party! This is going to be the biggest party I ever made!"

"Uh huh." The general leaned towards Twilight. "Is she always like this?"

"Most of the time."

"Oh. And whats your name?" He asked Fluttershy.

"My name is Fluttershy."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you."

"My name is Fluttershy."

"One more time?"

"Fluttershy."

"Oh, Fluttershy. I like that name."

"Whats you name?" Twilight asked.

"Just call me the general. As for the rest of the army, just call them by what they are, wizard, knight and the others. Also Twilight I would like to know more about this world. Is there any way I can?"

"Yes, in the royal library. Follow me, I'll lead you there." Twilight lead the general to the library.

"Something tells me this is going to be a long day." Rainbow said.

"So, this is the library?" The general asked.

"Yes." Twilight answered.

"It's certainly bigger than the library back home."

"Equestria has had a long past. How long has your kingdom been around?"

"About five hundred years now. You know, my ancestor was the first to establish the kingdom."

"Wow, thats amazing. Knowing your ancestor established it and now your defending it."

"Yes, yes it is."

"So what are you looking for?"

"I wanted to see if there was more to these Elements."

"Oh, right over here." She leaded him to the area of the Elements.

"Here it is."

"Thank you." He started looking through it.

"Strange."

"What is it?"

"It's just that the characters used for this book, they'er like the ones back at Linirea. I hardly think it's a coincidence."

"Hm."

"Lets not worry about it." He started reading. He read until something caught his eye.

"Mare in the moon?"

"Nightmare moon. She was once sealed away in the moon when she became...corrupted."

"Corrupted?"

"Yes, by jealousy. She became jealous of Celestia because the ponies where enjoying the day light while they slept through the moon light."

"Ah...is she still around?"

"No, we defeated her using the Elements of Harmony. She changed back to Luna who is the princess of the moon."

"Is the spirit of Nightmare moon still in her?"

"No, but she still has the memories."

"Then we can't let Vez'nan get his hands on her."

"Why not?"

"Because if he does, he will corrupt her. Iv'e seen it happen. Back at my home, when we defeated him, his magic spread all across Linirea, it corrupted Greenmuck. Greenmuck was the king of what use to be Forest of Glory. He then spread to the corruption to the guardians and the dead, turning the forest into the Rotten Forest."

"Wow. Vez'nan is really a bad guy, isn't he?"

"Yes, but he wasn't always evil. You see, about ten years ago, Vez'nan was a great wizard. He had powers beyond any ordinary wizard, and he only kept getting better and better. Soon however, our king, King Denas, saw evil in him, as his powers where taking over his mind. He was to be banished from the land, but not without a fight. He used his powers against the kingdom, killing many. After he had claimed victory, my farther used his powers to teleport him away from the kingdom. He left with these words, 'I'll be back! And this entire kingdom will be burnt to the ground!'"

"Oh. Um, general?"

"Yea?"

"Do those monster usually drop gems?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"It's because when we where fighting them, they dropped some." Twilight pulled out some from her saddle bag and handed them to the general.

"Hm, strange they never did before. Let's keep them, they may serve to be useful later."

"Ok, hey, do you think I can look at your book?"

"Yeah, here." He handed it to Twilight.

"So, if I kill these beings, you'll pay me top dollar?"

"Yes, you kill them, and I'll make sure you have enough money to by as many kingdoms as you want." Vez'nan said.

"Hm...fine." The person then left.

"*Sigh* Like that guy doesn't have enough money." He said to himself. "Those bandits better do me well. Which reminds me, are my bandits making that armor for that dragon? If they aren't, I'LL BE SURE TO HAVE THEIR HEADS!"

"Are you done, my lord?" A dark knight asked.

"Yes, yes, what is it?"

"We have completed the armor for the dragon..."

"Excellent."

"...but we can't put it on her, it's like trying to tame a wild puppy."

"INSOLENCE! YOU IDIOTS COULDN'T TAME A TREE!" He unleashed his power, frying the knight. Leaving behind a helmet and a pile of bones. " *Sigh* I'll be there to tame the dragon." He looked at the bones. "Ah, I see you are speechless by my power." He then left the room and reentered into the room with Cynder, only to be hit by a marauder. "GET OFF OF ME YOU IDIOT!" He then turned the bandit into a pile of bones.

"Stay still lizard!" A dark slayer yelled.

"WHAT IS GOING ON!" Vez'nan yelled.

"We can't get the armor on the dragon!"

"Let me handle it." Red aura than connected to Cynders head and she instantly calmed down. "Now get the armor on, and hurry!" He left the room. "What is Denas' army up to?" He summoned a small portal to the army. "...They are talking to the ponies... Why?"

"So, you are one with the animals?" A ranger asked Fluttershy. They were at the royal gardens.

"Oh yes, my talent is to be able to talk to the animals." Fluttershy said, now less shy.

"Amazing. In a way we are alike. You see rangers are one with the forest, we learn to use the plant life to our advantage. We use the trees as cover, poison from certain plants and spiked weeds."

"To hurt things?"

"...Yes. But not just anything. We only use it on Vez'nan's army. So don't worry." Their conversation was cut short when hey heard an explosion off in the distance.

"What in Celestia's name are these things?!"

"Why are you asking me?! Instead of asking me, what about destroying these things?!"
