Chapter Seven

Metal Dash

“Running!? That’s the best plan you can think of!?” Rainbow Dash yelled as she and Amy darted down the streets of Ponyville while dodging Chrysalis’s magical beams.

“I would like to see you come up with a plan to take down a crazy queen with a fetish for enslaving people?” Amy answered as she quickly pulled Rainbow Dash down towards the ground to avoid a giant rock zooming past them and blocking their path. “Crap! We’re trapped!”

“Not on my watch!” Rainbow Dash said before picking Amy up and placing her onto her back like she was giving her a piggyback ride. “Hang on!” She said before speeding off into the sky like a rocket.

“Haha! Try to catch us now you-” Amy’s eyes widened after turning her attention towards the ground as she saw Chrysalis flying towards them at breakneck speed like a demon out of hell. “She’s coming after us!” She yelled before noticing her horn glowing. “And she’s about to fire lasers at us!”

“What are you-” Before Rainbow Dash could finish, she felt Amy pull her ears to the side as the pegasus moved to the left, just as a magical sickly green colored laser just shot past them. “Oh, buck! Hang on!” She yelled before flying down towards the ground and darted through the somewhat burning town of Ponyville. Chrysalis in turn did the same as she quickly followed after the duo through town while shooting magical beams of magic at the two.

“Can’t you shoot something at her? Like a magical beam or something!?” Rainbow Dash asked as she quickly turned the corner after almost getting nicked by one of Chrysalis’s beam attacks.

“I’m still trying to figure out how I was able to use that swamp move on her army. What makes you think I can shoot lasers from my hands?”

“I don’t know!? But we gotta think of something. We can’t keep running from her forever...I mean we could, but I don’t think that will help the town much.” She said as Amy started to quickly look around at her surroundings to see what she could use. Though an idea does appear in her head as she remembers what she did at Rainbow Dash’s home. She soon brought up a digital screen and began to search through it before pulling up a section with cards. Specifically cards with monsters on them.

“I got an idea. Quickly, turn the corner after the second house we fly by.”

“What do you mean? That leads to a dead-end in an alleyway.”

“Just do it.” The human said as she pulled pressed onto the screen to summon a hard into her hand. “This will give us time to think of a way to take her down.” The pegasus looked behind to see Chrysalis charging at them as she turned her attention back forward and quickly zoomed into the alleyway Amy ordered to go into. The moment they entered, Amy quickly tossed the card behind them as a purple glow shot out from the alleyway.

“I got you now you little-” Before she could finish her sentence, the queen of the changelings rammed face-first into whatever it was before recoiling back from the pain she felt on her face. Her rage-induced expression quickly changed to shock as she saw a headless knight standing in front of her.

“Introducing the Dullahan Knight,” Amy said as Chrysalis looked up to see Amy and Rainbow Dash floating above her from a distance. “Strong, sturdy, durable, and a hell of a pain to take down. Good luck with trying to take that down, you cheese-hole-looking freak!” She yelled as the two stared at each other in awkward silence for a good couple of seconds as Amy patted Rainbow Dash on the back. “Dude, that’s your cue to fly off.”

“Oh! Right!” Rainbow Dash said before zooming off further into Ponyville. Chrysalis’s left eye began to twitch. Mainly because not only was she made a fool out of not once, but twice by the hairless ape of a girl her partner in crime Rainbow Dash. She soon turned her attention onto the dullahan knight as a sadistic grin appeared on her face.

“Oh, I am going to make them pay for humiliating me. But first, you’ll be a good example to show them what I am going to do to them.” As the sounds of magic and metal clashing in the distance, Amy and Rainbow Dash burst through the doors of Twilight’s home. Upon entering, they quickly gather a combination of books, furniture, and beds against the door of the treehouse.

“You think that will keep her from coming inside?” Rainbow Dash asked as Amy shrugged.

“Given how pissed she might be after dealing with the dullahan knight...I say we might have a good ten seconds before she bursts through that door...that is if she could find us.” Amy said before slumping to the ground as she let out a loud sigh of exhaustion. “I can’t believe that plan worked. I’m more surprised that I could use that screen thing to summon a monster like that.”

“Seriously, do all humans have stuff like that on your planet where you’re from?”

“Um...yes...no….Honestly, I don’t know anymore. One minute I bought a keychain from a new store that came to town, the next I found myself in a world full of colorful humanoid-like ponies being chased by a girl that wanted to do experiments on me...Who would’ve thought that my crazy teacher’s lessons would pay off for once.”

“I would love to know more about what happened to you, but right now we need to think of something to deal with the bubblebutt bug queen outside.”

“Right...Um...Okay…not gonna lie, but that’s all I got. Planning wise that is.”

“...Seriously? You’re joking, right?”

“What? You try thinking of a plan when you’re being chased by a bug queen with a domination fetish!”

“....Fair point, but we got to think of something fast before she finds us. Or worse, level the entire town of Ponyville to the ground.”

“....Crap, okay…um…” Amy’s eyes widened as a sudden idea came to her head. She soon brought up the digital screen from before and started to look through it. “Okay, I have an idea.”

“And that idea is?”

“We’re going to kick her butt, that’s the idea.” The human said as Rainbow Dash stared at her with a deadpan expression on her face. The pegasus was about to speak but was cut off by Amy placing a hand in front of the mare’s face. “Hear me out. Yes, it’s something that you would suggest, but here’s where things differ.” She said before pulling up a screen with different odd-looking items. Her eyes soon locked on to what looked like to be a case of gold-colored bullets. She pressed it as the bullet case appeared in front of Rainbow Dash as the mare blinked in surprise by it. “You’re going to have a bit of a power boost.”

“What is this?”

“Well, originally this was something that’s used to help level up a character in a game to the next stage of the class they’re in. Now if video game logic works on this planet, then it should give you powers similar to mine, but different.”

“You think?”

“Well, it’s not like I’m a scientist like that crazy unicorn lady. But if I can appear on this planet with powers as I have, then this should work for you as well.” Amy said as they both heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground outside. The two carefully made their way towards the window of the house they were in and saw the monster that Amy summoned, dead and crumbled up into a ball on the ground. Next to it was a battered up Chrysalis with one of her eyes bloodshot red and her horn somewhat broken, but it still gave off a sickly glow.

“I know you’re around here you little monsters! Come out now or else I will level the entire town of Ponyville!” Chrysalis yelled as the magic around her horn started to glow brightly before forming into a ball. She soon looked over to her left and fired off a giant beam of magical energy. Within a matter of seconds, the beam died off and revealed the entire area reduced to dust. Rainbow Dash’s and Amy’s eyes widen upon seeing this before looking at each other, then quickly move away from the window.

“....Okay, bad news. She’s pissed and is on the warpath for our heads. Good news, Dullahan was able to injure her, so that will give us a huge advantage in this fight.” Amy said as Rainbow Dash stared at her with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

“You think that’s going to help us! There’s no way we can beat her!”

“Well, what other choice do we have!?” Amy said as the pegasus noticed the girl shaking in fear. “Look I know you're scared, but so am I. I mean look at where I am? I’m on a planet full of talking ponies millions of light-years away from my home, and for all I know given the distance between this planet and earth, everyone that I know of is dead. And I might end up dead along with them in this fight. But just because I lost everything, doesn’t mean you guys haven’t. You have friends, families, and a place to call home.” She said before summoning her claymore into her hands. “Now are you going to help me kick her ass and save this town, or are you going to stay here with your tail between your legs. Scaredy cat?”

“First of all. Don’t call me a scaredy-cat, because Rainbow Dash isn’t afraid of anything. Especially some bug lady.” Rainbow Dash said as she looked over at the bullet case, still floating in the air. She soon let out a loud gulping sound before making her way over to the floating bullet case. “S-So if I were to take this…what’s going to happen to me…appearance-wise?”

“Well, I ended up with this suit and the power of darkness. Pretty sure it’ll be the same for you…don’t know what the outfit might look like, but we can get you something else to wear once we’re done.”

“...If I die, I am going to punch you.” Rainbow Dash said after grabbing the pendant. Upon taking the pendant, a bright glow burst from where Rainbow Dash was standing and caused Amy to cover her eyes. In a matter of seconds, the light started to fade and reveal rainbow Dash. Though her outfit changed from her usual attire to that of what appeared to be a scientist. “....Dear Celestia…what have you done to me!?”

“What do you mean?” Amy said as she looked up and down at Rainbow Dash’s attire.

“You made me into an egghead! Something that Twilight is!”

“Oh come on. You don’t look that bad. Metal Heart is a pretty cool class.”

“How does this make me look cool!?”

“Look, the point is that-” Before Amy could finish her sentence, she felt the upper part of Twilight’s home being ripped off via magic. Both Amy and Rainbow Dash looked up and saw Chrysalis staring at the two from above with a sadistic grin on her face.

“Found you little pest! It’s time to receive your punishment from royalty!” Chrysalis yelled as Amy and Rainbow Dash stared at Chrysalis for a good few seconds before looking at each other.

“...Dash,” Amy said as the pegasus looked over at the human. “Time for a test run.”

“You think we can win?”

“Hell no. We both have little to no knowledge as to how our powers work, and we barely have a plan, to begin with. But there’s one thing we do have.”

“And that would be?”

“We’re both idiots with determination, and I’m determined to kick her butt,” Amy said as a dark red colored aura appeared around the dark knight’s body. “You game for this?” Rainbow Dash snorted in a mix of annoyance and determination as she cracked her knuckles. She soon took up a fighting stance as she glared at Chrysalis.

“Buck it. Just because I look like a nerd, doesn’t mean I’m not going to go down swinging!”
