Unexpected Boundaries

Erza sat bored on her throne while levitating Maple in midair.

"They'll stop you! You can't beat us so easily." Maple defiantly shouted causing Erza to increase her grip which was already hurting the filly.

"I'm now the strongest creature in equestria, so together? They just might accomplish that, but with one of them locked up? They're doomed to failure." Erza smiled as Maple's body fell limp. "Passed out already? Oh well, at least you lasted longer this time."

Erza jumped when the blue sphere flowed into her. Somepony killed Draco? That can't be, he was my strongest ally. She was beginning to panic, but the purple unicorn across the room from her refused to give her that luxury.

"Put Maple down and I might spare your life." Twilight threatened.

The amount of bloodlust in the room was astonishing, Twilight was as angry as a mother bear who had her cub stolen from her. Erza had to calm herself for a moment before replying, "Why would I? I have your daughter." Erza figured that as long as Star was locked up she would be able to win this fight.

The air was full of screaming as frightened diamond dogs rained down from the balcony above.

"Monster pony! Run!" The leader of the diamond dogs shouted as they all scampered throught the exit behind Twilight.

"Sorry I'm late." Star grinned as he dashed into the room. He then took a good look at what was happening and his smile turned into a glare aimed at Erza. There was a massive adreneline rush as the sensation of anger surged through his body. Erza began to sweat as she sensed all of the bloodlust in the room being aimed right at her. She could tell that these ponies wanted nothing more than to rip her to shreads and not stop until after she was long dead.

"Don't move or Maple gets it!" Erza shouted in desperation. The odds of her winning and her confidence were now diminished, and she knew that she was in for one heck of a fight.

Star made the first move, he teleported right beside Erza and attempted to stab her with his horn. Being caught off guard she barely had time to dodge his initial attack but not Twilight's. Erza screamed as her horn was pummeled by Twilight's magic blasts, the pain was so immense that she couldn't keep a hold on Maple who dropped safely onto Star's back. The loss of her bartering chip had Erza shifting into defense as she ran for her life away from Twilight's barrage of attacks. Erza's horn began to glow as a red sphere of light began to form at her muzzle, with a quick jerk of the head the sphere of light was heading for Twilight. Star dashed in front of her and summoned a shield that blocked the attack in it's entirety, however it forced Twilight to cease attacking. Erza pointed her horn at the two as she braced herself. There was a massive blast of water that erupted from Erza's horn that nailed the shield right away that quickly dissapated forcing the ponies to move from their current position. The two unicorns didn't shrink back from this fierce attack, instead they rushed Erza forcing her to shoot arrows at them in defense. Erza was in disbelief as her arrows were easily dodged, even by Star who couldn't feel the excruciating pain in his leg due to the adreneline rush. Erza prepared another fireball forcing Twilight and Star to stop several feet away, knowing she had one shot at escaping alive Erza jumped into the air and launched the scarlet ball of flaming energy directly at the ground. The force of the explosion sent her skyward as she kicked off the wall trying to clear the ponies in a feeble attempt to escape. The exit was comming closer and closer but a powerful tug on her back legs sent her crashing into a wall. Spotting the black chains on her legs she quickly destroyed them with an arrow as she returned to her feet. Erza took a deep breath as she launched a blast of water at the two approaching ponies. Twilight put up a forcefield that protected her from the massive volumes of water. Star jumped off the forcefield as his horn glowed, Erza had predicted this as she launched a fireball at Star. Erza screamed as Twilight had used the opening to launch a powerful bust of magic that nailed its target. Star had used a the shield he was now standing on to protect him from the attack Erza's overprediction was to be her downfall as Star's chain wrapped around her aching body and lifted her high in the air.

"I-I can't move!" Erza exclaimed as her head was propped up and the chain around her neck was slowly squeezing the life out of her. Fear entered her mind as she realized that this was it. She was to be killed by two unicorns and not a mighty princess. "How? I'm the strongest creature in all of equestria, I can't lose!"

"You made one mistake. Nopony hurts Maple and lives to tell about it." The two unicorns said in perfect unison.

"Don't worry your death will be quick." Star promised as he gave the chain a violent shake. In that one motion there was a snap as Erza's neck broke in two. After gently lowering her to the ground the two ponies watched as her breathing slowly came to a halt. After making sure that she was dead, Twilight lead the way to the exit.

"Finally! I'm so glad that's over." Twilight cheered as the sunlight warmly shined on her face.

"I can't believe that Maple didn't wake up." Star laughed as he glanced at the filly on his back. "Twilight, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, ask away." Twilight replied with a slight twirl. Star had never noticed how pretty she was when the light shone on her just right, and it wasn't making what he was tring to say any easier.

"When we get back to Ponyville, would you like to grab some hay fries? O-Or something?"

Twilight giggled like a school filly seeing how flustered Star was, "Or something sounds nice, dinner maybe?" She replied teasing his nose with her tail.

Their breathing began to get heavier as the whole ordeal that they'd just gone through began to catch up with them. The enormous amount of energy that they'd just expended caught up with them all at once as an explosion of pain streaked up Star's leg.

"Star? What's wrong?" Twilight asked through deep breaths.

"It's nothing I'll be fi-" Star was barely able to get out before passing out on the ground.

"We're getting back to Ponyville." Twilight determinedly gasped. She'd run out of fuel herself and was going on sheer willpower as she tried to move the two unconsious ponies onto her back. After several failed attempts her body demanded rest as she collapsed on top of the black unicorn.
