The Thestral shot forward like a rocket, nailing Arctic in the stomach and Twilight in the chest. The blow knocked them both back, but Arctic recovered quickly. Using his magic, he prepared an attack.

“Brinicle Pillar!” Arctic said flicking his pointer and middle finger up.

Arctic’s magic glyph appeared under the Thestral and a massive pillar of ice shot up hitting the thestral in the stomach, launching it into the air.

“Augh!” The Thestral groaned. “Nice shot!”

In an instant the Thestral flew back down striking Arctic in the stomach, sending him skidding backwards on his back before he corrected himself.

Arctic grinned a bit. His love for battle slowly coming to the forefront. Arctic flew and kicked the Thestral away before chasing her down.

Some of the other Thestral’s flew in to battle the Saiyan wanting to defend their captain. Plus, they wanted to battle the foreign creature. The Thestrals, for ages, have battle various creatures, so many times it was getting boring to them. So, having the opportunity to battle some new creature who seemed to be able to hold his own, got them eager to fight.

The Thestrals didn’t get far, before a blast of purple magic shot towards them. Twilight, while not much of a fighter, was certainly willing to throw down. Especially if she was defending a friend.

“Well,” came a deep voice from one of the Thestrals, “Seems Queen Celestia’s star pupil wishes to battle.”

Another voice chimed in.

“We aren’t here for her, but I wouldn’t mind brawling with the Queen’s best student.”

Twilight, hearing this, froze, but she was still ready to fight.

Tree Hugger threw down a glowing green battle. A mass cloud of green smoke erupted as vines shot out grabbing hold of the Thestral she was fighting. Before it could register, Zecora landed ahead of her. A Thestral had gotten ready to attack Tree Hugger, but Zecora, the protective mother she is, shot towards the Thestral like a rocket, nailing it in the stomach and pinning it to the ground.

“What the heck are these ponies? And why are they attacking us?” Tree Hugger asked.

The Thestral tangled up in the vines spoke up.

“She has sent us out to bring you in.”

“She? She who? And being us in to where?” Zecora asked.

“You’ll find out soon enough.” The Thestral, using its sharp fangs, bit through the vines entangling it and rushed Tree Hugger.

==========**********==========

Back in Ponyville, a massive cloud of dust erupted into the sky as A Thestral, caught within a lasso, was slammed to the ground by Applejack.

“Why’re all these gosh darn varmints attackin’ us!?”

Rainbow, who doing her best to attempt to blitz a few of the Thestrals, responded.

“I dunno, but these guys are tough!”

Before Rainbow could do anything more, a hammer being wielded in the mouth of one of the Thestrals slammed into her and sending her straight to the ground.

Rarity, while not much of a fighter, was surprisingly holding her own against a few Thestrals. She used her bubble shield to force Thestrals back or block incoming attacks. She needed to thank Twilight for teaching her that spell. And she used the various rocks she could find as projectiles to strike at the Thestrals.

“These beastly things just won’t let up! All this fighting, sweat and dust is bad for my complexion! Oh I simply must attend the spa after this!”

Applejack and Rainbow just rolled their eyes and kept fighting.

==========**********==========

Glacious was effortlessly defending against the Thestrals she fought. She had been attacked at Golden Oaks Library, but led the Thestrals away, not wanting Twilights home to get damaged.

With her big wings, and tapping into her ice magic somewhat, blew the Thestrals away or launched small sharp shards of ice at them. She made sure to not have the shards cause life altering damage or possible death, but she did make sure the Thestrals would stay cautious of her.

“Shit. I didn’t think we’d be having this much difficulty with her.” Said one Thestral.

“She is tough, I’ll give her that. Though, hopefully, we won’t have to keep fighting her and she will take care of her. She’s been wanting to for a while.” Said another Thestral.

Gracious stepped forward and began to speak.

“You young ones are attacking me. For what purpose?”

“Oh, we were order to. We were here to size you up, before we went after that little creature of yours.”

Gracious tilted her head slightly. Till it clicked.

“My child? Who would send you after us? We’ve done no wrong to anypony.”

“This child of yours, is an abomination and an affront to our kind. We will strike that beast down where it stands. As for you, we shall personally handle you ourselves.”

Glacious, hearing a new voice looked behind her.

A cloaked figure stood there. It was clearly a pony, though, this pony was big. Bigger than herself. If she had to guess, Arctic would only come up to just about the knee in this ponies foreleg. She could see a massive horn protruding out of the ponies hood.

Glacious knew exactly what this pony was. An Alicorn. But something confused her. Why exactly would this Alicorn have a vendetta against her and her son?

“You are an Alicorn, yes?” Glacious asked.

“Indeed. As are you. Shed your disguise and face me properly. I wish to dismantle the mare responsible for keeping my ponies fearful of their Empress of the Night.”

This stunned Glacious. She knew she was an Alicorn? Glacious decided not to question it and dropped her disguise. Her body grew in size and her horn emerged. The other Alicorn just scoffed.

“You are in your suppressed state. You disgrace us with this decision. You will fight us in your natural state!” Cried the Alicorn.

Queen Luna, shot forward like a rocket and nailed Glacious in her cheek with a hoof, sending her skidding backwards.

Glacious just spit and using her magic, created some magic glyphs around Luna, as spears of ice shot out towards her. Luna flew up, dodging the attack sending a blast of magic barreling towards Glacious, who merely blocked it with a dome of ice surrounding her. Glacious grinned a bit. Seems her son’s love for battle has rubbed off on her a bit. She spread her wings a sped her way up to Luna.

“Let’s get started!”

==========**********==========

Fire erupted into the air. The Thestral it was aimed at, dived, dodging it before using her tail to knock Spike away. The young drake was determined to keep going, despite how tired and beat up he was. He watched Arctic, Twilight, and even Pinkie Pie fight. While Pinkie was tired, she kept fighting. Her party cannon at the ready and completely flat, straight mane and tail flowing in the wind. Arctic and Twilight were holding their own. Pushing themselves hard to keep going.

Spike wished he could keep on like them. He wanted to keep going, determination keeping him standing and spewing flames. Though he knew he wouldn’t last longer. He desperately wanted to keep going. He felt he was of no use. He couldn’t hold his own against Nightmare moon. He was bested in a matter of seconds. He knew he was a young dragon and accepted he wasn’t all that strong and couldn’t do much, but he still wanted to prove himself. To fight alongside Twilight and the girls.

While he didn’t know it, Arctic inspired Spike. Spike wished he was just as strong as him, and one day, he would make that wish, become real.

“You’ve left yourself open!”

Spike snapped out of his trance and saw the Thestral he was fighting use her forehoof to strike Spike in the back of his neck, knocking him out.

“Spike!” Cried Pinkie, Twilight, and Arctic.

Twilight’s anger flared. Her previous burning transformation returned. She let out a loud roar and blasted the Thestral, sending it miles away, and crashing into the ground. She set her sights on the Thestral’s she was already fighting and charged.

Arctic erupted into Super Saiyan and blew the group of Thestral’s he was fighting away with the burst of his aura. The Thestral’s came rushing back, and Arctic begun fighting with them. He was a bit surprised to find that the Thestral’s seemed to be holding their own against super Saiyan, but he kept fighting.

Pinkie, grabbing onto a Thestral with her teeth, slammed it into another before using her forehooves to send a massive rock, three times her size up. She whipped around and used the immense amount of strength she gained working on the rock farm and bucked it at them. The Thestral’s not expecting that, couldn’t dodge in time and got struck by the rock.

The other Thestral’s charged in to fight Pinkie, but with her Pinkie Sense guiding her, she dodged them all, before pulling out her party cannon.

“Time to party!” The party cannon went off. Cake batter and confetti shot out and nailed a few Thestrals.

Fluttershy. The poor shy doe. She sat off at the sidelines watching. She was terrified. She could see her friends fighting against the army of Thestrals. She was surprised to see Spike and Pinkie fight. She never thought they would jump in. She wanted to run. To leave. But she did want to fight alongside her friends. She knew there would possibly be times she would need to fight. Especially with her being one of the bearers of Harmony, but she never wanted to believe she would need to.

She wanted desperately to be strong. To be brave, to fight with her friends instead of running away and hiding. But she knew she would never…

“You wish to fight alongside them?”

“AAHHH!” Fluttershy yelled.

She whipped her head back and saw another Thestral. This Thestral looked, old. She held a grey mane, though there was evidence that he mane was originally a deep purple. Her eyes were deep red. They looked as though they had seen a lot of things in her life. Despite her age, she seemed just as strong Big Mac. Probably stronger. She also held multiple different scars,showing she had been through a lot. Even her wings had a few tears and cuts. It was a miracle she could even still fly.

“W..wh..where did you come from?”

“I’ve been here for a while. I’ve been watching you. I can tell you wish to fight with your friends. Though you are afraid.”

Fluttershy sheepishly and cautiously nodded.

“I do. But, i can’t. I don’t want to get hurt, but I don’t want to sit here and let my friends get hurt either.”

The Thestral smiled.

“I understand. You’ve never really been in a fight before. I can tell. But I could help you overcome your fear. You can fight alongside your friends and protect them as well as your little animal friends.”

Fluttershy looked to the animals surrounding her. They were all looking up at her. Fluttershy did want to protect her friend and her animal friends. The knowledge that, she may need to fight in the future coming back to her. She knew she couldn’t keep hiding away and would need to fight alongside her friends some day. Fluttershy thought for a while as the Thestral watched her.

“Um, okay.” Said Fluttershy. “How will you help me, Miss?”

“Cattleya Orchid. But please call me Leya.” Said Leya. “Now, are you sure, you wish for this?”

“I am. I will need to fight at some point in the future, and if you can help me and I’ll be able to help my friends and protect them as well as my animal friends, I’m willing.”

Leya nodded.

“Very well. After this, I will help you learn to control it.”

Fluttershy tilted her head in confusion. But before she could ask anything, Leya struck.

Arctic, who was getting a bit overwhelmed kept fighting back. A Thestral rushed up and hit Arctic square in the cheek, only to get grabbed by a giant ice hand Arctic created and threw the Thestral to the water. He turned his attention to the other Thestrals and kept on fighting. However he kept getting overwhelmed. Another Thestral, managing to get behind him, opened it’s mouth. It’s fangs glinting in the sunlight. Before the Thestral could bit down on Arctic’s neck, the Thestral was kicked away by another.

Arctic, seeing this whipped around to see a new Thestral. It’s mane and tail were pink. It’s cutie mark was of multiple pink bats. It’s coat was a light yellow with brown patterns. It took a second but Arctic recognized the Thestral.

“Fluttershy!?”

Fluttershy, the doe now turned Thestral, turned and gave a small smile and nod. Arctic wondered how Fluttershy became a Thestral, but he figured he’d question it later. The two, now back to back, flew in and begun fighting the Thestrals together.
