Equestria's Pyre

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

The explosion rocked the whole camp as the cell containing Pyre burst open from all the fire built up inside. Flames scattered everywhere, as well as the now lifeless forms of Sky Blaze and Lights, who have just opened Pondora's Box. A fiery tempest swirled around Pyre's form, her eyes and horn burning with orange.

Everypony came to see what'd happened, but the flames were too strong, nopony could get close. Celestia, Flashpoint, and Twilight all raced over, and they saw the swirling flames, and Pyre in the center of the inferno she created.

"Candelle!!" Celestia called to the crazed mare.

"Celestia! You have forced my hoof!! My next stop is Canterlot! And before the day's end, IT WILL BECOME A LIVING HELL WHEN I'M DONE!!!! THE SAME WITH PONYVILLE! AND ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!!!!!!!!

Celestia launched a magic beam from her horn, but it ricochet off the flaming walls.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU CANNOT STOP ME, CELESTIA!! NOTHING CAN STOP ME!!!

The swirling pillar of flames started to move as Pyre slowly trotted towards Canterlot, the flares barely drowning out the laughter coming from deranged mare.

"Twilight! Flashpoint! I need to return to Canterlot now!" Celestia turned, "Hopefully, with Luna's help, I can hold her back..., but I need you to get there and be ready with the Elements..."

"But Princess-"

"There's no other option now!" Celestia barked, "....There isn't any other option....., Flashpoint." She turned to the stallion, who understood Celestia nodded in agreement. The Princess took off into the air for Canterlot, dodging fireballs that spurt from the pillar.

"Princess!"

"C'mon!" Flash pulled Twilight back, "We need to get your friends in Ponyville!" They ran off, Twilight still looking back for her mentor, wishing and praying for her safety...

Tears fell from Celestia's face as she zoomed through the sky to Canterlot; not since the banishment has she felt so helpless. The Princess tried to think of other solutions, but none would prevent Equestria from suffering Pyre's insanity again..., there was only one solution..., the solution she dreaded the most.. but had to take to ensure the safety of her kingdom and her subjects..

Pyre must be terminated....

Inside the towering mass of flames, Pyre was filled with pure glee, dancing with stallions of Fire, and imagining the end of all this. Herself and her Fire, dancing forever in the embers and ash that was once the populace of this cursed nation, spending eternity in the blazed world, until the end of time.

"Maybe I'll finally burn in Hell...," Pyre laughed.

"One could only hope...," Fire's voice echoed throughout the pillar, and in the ashen mare's mind.

Outside the flaming tower, the earth around burned away, screaming in agony as it writhed away into nonexistence. The trees roasted into charred remains, and flowers incinerated into ashes. Pyre made sure that everything in her way dies in flame and smoke. She hated all of nature; she hated how it tormented her, making her remember that day...when she had lost everything... everything she ever loved and cared for... for it was in a similar field that it had began....

"It will all be over soon... My Pyre...."

Celestia soon arrived at the castle and immediately summoned Luna. She had finished giving orders to the guards when her little sister came in.

"What is it, sister?" Luna asked.

"See for yourself Luna...." Celestia pointed out to the horizon. Luna walked forward on the balcony and saw it. A giant conglomeration of burning destruction on a set path towards Canterlot.

"We need to warn the populace!" Luna started off, but was stopped by her elder sister.

"I know, but leave that to the guards, we need to slow her down!"

"Her?"

"So what's going on?" Pinkie asked. The team just left Ponyville, where they they picked up her, Rarity, and Hot Spot; the Elements, Flashpoint, Thermal Vision, and Hot Spot, were now on there way to Canterlot to stop Pyre.

"See that?" Rainbow turned Pinkie's head towards the towering inferno.

"Ooohh..." Pinkie trailed into a sigh.

"We need to get there before she sets Canterlot ablaze!" Twilight shouted from another chariot. She was with Flashpoint and Thermal. "Flash...?"

"Yes?"

"What did-"

"That's none of your business," Flash interrupted.

"Oh..., sorry..."

Flash sighed, "She set me straight, and convinced me that we can't kill Pyre," he sighed again, "but unfortunately , that seems to be the only option now..." He turned to gaze at the massive fire, "Pyre can't be contained... I was right... she will destroy Equestria if she isn't stopped...permanently..."

Silence spread across the chariots.

"HEY! Can't you guys go any faster?!?!" Dash yelled at the pegasi pulling, getting increasingly worried.

The three chariots streaked through the sky on their way to Canterlot in hopes of stopping Pyre, but the chances of that seem to be getting slimmer and slimmer as the the inferno raged it's way across Equestria.
