Starfleet Magic (Movie): The Switch Before Hearths Warming/Christmas

ACT ELEVEN

Everyone charged forth, and Mach-E revved up his bike and rocketed up into the air.

“Fire!” Buddy shouted, and he and the other alicorns unleashed a barrage of magical beams from their horns at him, but Mach-E skillfully maneuvered his bike and evaded many blasts, and others he just knocked away with his strong arms.

“You want to shoot beams? Okay, I will too…!” and he fired his bike’s lasers, and with one free hand he fired from his gun, forcing the fighters to scatter.

The blasts caused big explosions upon hitting the ground.

“Whoa! This guy packs some heavy fire power!” cried Dyno.

“It’s what we were warned about.” said Myte. “The bad guys here are mucho tougher than the creeps we face.”

Mach-E heard all that, “Huh? What’s he’s talking about?”

“Then we’ll just have to fight back hard!” declared Rainbow, and she zoomed towards the bike and began to fly in furious circles, and the bike began to tip off balance in the strong, twisting winds!

“Hey! Stop it!” bellowed Mach-E as fell into a spinout.

“VINE WHIP!” Buddy held out his weapon and gave it a crack, and Applejack whipped out her rope. They nodded at one another and lassoed the rocket tailpipes of the bike.

“Pull!!” shouted Buddy, and he and Applejack gave a great big heave and pulled the bike into a crash towards the ground.

“No!!” shouted Mach-E, and he quickly revved the engines and fired the rockets, making the bike pull away with equal force.

Applejack and Buddy pulled with all their might, but the pull was becoming stronger and harder. “We can’t… hold him!” shouted Applejack.

“Going up?!” teased Mach-E, and he revved hard nearly lifted the two ponies off the ground, when suddenly…

“Ha!!” Rhymey leapt in with his sword and sliced the tailpipes clear off, making the rockets blow up and the bike hurdle out of control, and forcing Mach-E to leap off.

The bike slammed onto the ground hard and went up in a big explosion.

Mach-E looked ready to explode himself… in rage! “You’ll pay for that!”

The fighters all stood together.

“More like you’re going to pay!” shouted Dyno.

“Give it up, meng, before we really lose our tempers!” added Myte.

The fighters all looked ready to brawl some more, but Mach-E only chuckled and laughed.

“Uh… what’s so funny?” asked Pinkie.

“You miserable mules have no idea what’s going on, do you?”

Rarity took extreme offense to that, “We, sir, are not mules! And just what do you mean?”

Mach-E explained, “Hello… I’m a biker… that means I’m part of a gang, whom, as we speak, have begun to mess up other parts of this planet.”

The team gasped.

At that very moment, other fighters had crashed down in other parts of the land, all of them were like Mach-E, just wearing different colors and stuff.

In New Ponyville, a red biker had appeared, riding a rocket bike and armed with the same weapons. “Yo’ Yo’… Mach-C here to bust up the house!”

Another fighter wearing green had hit the New Crystal Empire. “I’m Mach-O, who’s up for a fight?”

And a blue fighter, who was female, hit New Canterlot. “The name’s Mach-ZZ, and don’t you forget it!”

The people had already rushed inside homes and buildings, and the barriers were already activated, but there were still loads of things to break and destroy outside, like all the beautiful holiday trees, decorations, and displays.

Things outside to steal and break, like foods, goods, and stands and wagons.

…A Punk biker’s delight.

Cadance and Shining Armor had ordered all the guards and every Starfleet fighter in the area to deal with the threat.

“Your majesties, won’t you help us?” one of the guards called, but the couple looked ready to turn pale.

“We’re not fighters.” Shining Armor whispered to Cadance, and his agreed stating, “We also don’t have their transforming abilities, and we can’t do magic like they do.”

“Your majesties…!” the guard called again.

The couple could only rush out onto the Crystal Palace battlements and join the artillery crew. They had taken time to practice with their magic and were able to fire magical beams at Mach-O, knocking his laser out of his hand.

“Good shot!” Shining Armor said to Cadance.

His wife smirked, but the evil biker looked furious and rammed his way through all the hordes of soldiers on the ground, taking to the skies he shot at all the fighters that dared fly his way and set his sights on the palace.

“Take this!” he shouted and fired his bike’s lasers, but the barrier around the palace withstood.

“You can’t hide in there forever!” shouted Mach-O, and he was right, the barrier would only take so many hits before it broke down, especially when Mach-O began to throw his explosives at it.

“Open fire!” the lead guard shouted, and the canons fired, but Mach-O dodged every shot perfectly. “Is that your best?!” he mocked.

“No… This is!” Shining Armor called.

He tapped into the power of his mind chip-- to his magical counterpart’s knowledge-- he knew the barriers only stopped things from coming in, not going out!

He concentrated hard, and his horn glowed brightly, and then, with a mighty roar, he fired a huge blast, which passed through the barrier, and smashed right into the front of the bike, blowing it up!

“Hey! What the-- WHOA…!!” Mach-O wailed as he found himself falling hard towards the ground.

The fighters all ran clear from the falling bike. Mach-O had jumped clear just as the bike crashed and exploded.

“Well done, dear!” Cadance said, and her husband blushed.

Mach-O tried to get up and fight back, but he was overtaken by an army of soldiers that apprehended him and bound him to take him to jail and wait trial for his crimes.

The soldiers and citizens cheered, and Cadance and Shining Armor hugged warmly, but some of the guards were still confused.

“Why didn’t their majesties transform?”

“They could’ve taken that creep down much faster.”

In New Canterlot, ZZ eyed the big holiday tree in town square intending to blow it up first. “Say goodbye…!” she shouted, and threw one of her explosives, blowing the tree, the decorations, and even the setting below into a flaming inferno.

The citizens, though safe inside homes and buildings, were positively horrified, and children began to cry at the destruction.

Sci-Twi and Spike had taken refuge in the library. They saw everything out the window and were horrified to see the tree burning.

ZZ laughed wickedly, “What should I blow up next?”

“Nothing!” shouted a voice.

The alien biker turned and saw Lightning, already transformed-- using a special spell he had secretly cast to color his visor, shoulder, and stomach guard gold to keep up his appearance-- with an army of soldiers and knights behind him.

“Put out those flames.” Lightning ordered many of the guards, “The rest of you standby, keep the perimeter sealed and keep me covered. You too, Krysta.”

Krysta nodded proudly.

Lightning then stood ready to fight, and ZZ didn’t take him too seriously. “So, you’re Lightning Dawn. I’ve heard things about you.”

Lightning only growled.

“If you think I’m scared of you and your so called “Uniforce”, you’ve got another thing coming… since there’s no such thing!”

“Shows what you know!” shouted a guard.

“The Commander is one of the best Uniforce users of all.” called another.

“Come on, sir… give it to her.”

“Yeah, show her that it’s real.”

Lightning’s insides began to turn as he thought, “I can’t use the Uniforce. They don’t even realize my horn is fake.” He clenched his fists, but quickly remembered, “I can’t use any other magic either, it’ll blow my cover.

I’ll just have to do my best.”

“Well, come on!” shouted ZZ “Where’s this so-called “Uniforce” power of yours?”

“I don’t need to Uniforce to beat you.”

ZZ felt insulted, and the crowd of guards confused.

ZZ fired her bike’s lasers, which Lightning dodged by leaping up high. She fired more shots from her bike guns and her gun, but Lightning zipped, swerved and dodged every shot before making his way towards her.

He aimed a powerful punch at her face, which she blocked with the side of her machete blade, and then kicked him in the gut hard, much to the crowd’s shock.

“Lightning!” cried Krysta, but then she saw as Lightning quickly corrected himself in midair and rushed back towards her.

She threw her explosives at him… KAPOW!! It looked as if he really got hit hard.

“No!!” Sci-Twi shouted.

“Ohh…!” Spike whimpered.

Krysta gripped her wand tightly, hoping and believing that Lightning was okay.

“So much for him.” mocked ZZ, and she laughed wickedly… and then suddenly…

…KAPOW!! Lightning came up from below, by surprise, and flew straight through the bike, slicing it in two, and knocking ZZ way up into the air.

“Krysta…!” Lightning shouted.

“Coming!” Krysta shouted as she flew up high, and with a single wave of her wand, she managed to produce a small, but large enough pair of double transport portals.

ZZ fell through one, and emerged through the others, right smack dab in the middle of the army where the soldiers arrested and bound her up.

The civilians inside cheered with joy, while Sci-Twi and Spike sighed heavily in relief, not just that the danger was over-- at least here-- but Lightning managed to hold his cover.

Lightning then saluted to the soldiers, “You see, troops. I don’t need to rely on the Uniforce to be a great fighter.”

He convinced the army, but they were all still confused as to why he still didn’t use it in the first place and ended the fight more quickly.

No was not the time to think of it, the big Hearths Warming tree had to be replaced, which wouldn’t be too hard…

…But the danger was not fully passed yet!

Starla saw Mach-C drop in, and she saw the sentries and other fighters rushing into battle, and Swift Star was with them. She wanted to get out there and help, but she couldn’t leave the children unattended.

“Mommy, what’s happening?” peeped Shining Light.

Starla looked down at the child and assured him all she could, “Don’t worry, everything will be just fine.”

Little Twinkle looked scared, but Shining Light sat near his little sister and comforted her.

All Starla could do was continue to look out into the distance, especially at Swift.

Lieutenant Swift Star, as an auxiliary frontliner, just had to investigate the disturbance. He stood with the soldiers and glared at the nasty biker down.

“You are invading this planet.” Swift balked, “You are hereby ordered to stand down immediately.”

Mach-C only growled, “Oh, yeah. Just try me, soldier boy!” and he began to shoot up with his bike lasers, and he threw his explosives around.

“Scatter!” shouted Swift.

Big explosions erupted, and the soldiers dodged all those laser shots, especially Swift. The way he rolled, swerved and evaded all those shots…

…Starla saw everything, “Wow! The Swift in this world is amazing.” she said to herself.

“Hold still, punk!” bellowed Mach-C, but Swift just leapt up high, and gave the alien biker a huge kick in the face, knocking him off his bike and sending him crashing down hard on the ground.

His bike, with no driver, hurled out of control and headed straight for the Holiday Tree in Town Square.

“Oh, no!” cried Swift. The soldiers all gasped, but before anyone could do anything about it…

KAPOW!! The bike crashed into something, and it exploded before reaching the tree.

When the smoke cleared everyone looked on…

*Mykan’s POV*

I was teaching at the schoolhouse when I heard the alarms sound, and I could see the trouble. As an auxiliary Starfleet Fighter, and… knowing of the situation of the fighters… I had to investigate, and, under regulations, excused myself

When I saw the bike heading for the tree, and not wanting it to blow up, I quickly teleported into the bike’s path and let it slam into my Sheild of Righteous Courage. The bike exploded while my shield and its protection barrier protected me.

I then teleported straight to the battlefield.

“Well done, Mr. Stevens.” said Swift.

I nodded him, “Someone had to.”

Mach-C got up, still holding out his gun and his machete. “You think it’s over? You think I’m afraid? YOU THINK I WON’T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT?!!”

I had already drawn my Sword of Pure Soul and simply remarked, “Let’s just battle.”

Mach-C looked ready to explode, and he charged at me shooting his laser, but I blocked his shots with my shield, and with a huge swing of my sword I sliced his gun in half.

“AA-AAA-AAAHH!!” Mach-C cried in shock.

Then he turned and saw me coming at him, and our weapons clashed-- his machete against my sword.

Our blades parried and clashed, but I was able to disarm Mach-C, thanks to my sword training.

“I’ll bust you up with my bear hands!” bellowed Mach-C, and he charged straight at me, but I teleported out of the way, causing him to miss me and head straight for Swift.

Swift casually held out his fist and the alien ran face-first into with a WHAMM, and then keeled over backwards unconscious.

The other soldiers cheered and saluted to me and to Swift.

I shook hands with him. “Well done, Lieutenant.”

“Not bad yourself, sir.”

*POV Ends*

As the soldiers apprehended the criminal, Starla saw everything from the window, and she was impressed. “Swift did all that, and he’s just an Earth Pony with no magic.”

It really made her start to think about the Swift Star back in her world.

Meanwhile, Mach-E was the only one left with all his weapons ready.

“Come on!” he shouted at the fighters.

“Let’s go!” hollered Buddy.

“SUPER STAFF!” Artie hollered, grabbing out his weapon.

The fighters all rushed in…

“Take this!” shouted Mach-E, and he fired his laser and tossed his explosives.

The fighters all scattered about.

The twins joined hands, “BOOM-BOOM ROCKETS!” They unleashed their missiles just like did back home…

Mach-E swatted through all the rockets with his machete and knocked them away with his fists, and he kept on rushing forth.

“SONIC RAINBOOM!” Rainbow came zooming in fast and bashed the alien hard in the gut with a big explosion.

Mach-E skidded backwards hard-- but still on his feet-- making drag marks in the snow and the ground.

The other fighters all leapt in.

“LEAF SWARM!” Buddy unleashed his razor leaves, Mach held his arms like a shield, blocking the leaves, which was exactly what the fighters wanted.

Applejack skillfully lassoed the weapons and wretched them from the alien’s grasp. “Yee-Haw! It’s cage time for you!”

Mach was still not willing to give up and tried to fight off the swarm of fighters himself with his bare hands.

Artie blocked his punches with his staff.

Mach managed to get one punch past the staff, but Artie quickly leapt up high, “COLOR KICK!” and he slammed him hard in the chest, right towards Rhymey who hacked him several times with his sword, making sparks fly.

“Here comes the claws!” Rarity shouted, and the screamed ready for the swipe… forgetting that her claws weren’t real!

CLANG!! Her fingers slammed hard against the alien’s huge face, doing a little damage, but hurting herself in the process.

Rarity quivered and jiggled like a gong that had been slammed. “OHH-OHH-OHH!!” she groaned.

“Rarity!” cried Pinkie, and she grabbed onto her to stop her shaking, only to shake herself up a bit too.

Rarity’s ringers were sore and throbbing, much to the alien’s confusion. “What in the world?! I thought you were tougher than that.”

In his distraction, the fighters all ganged up on him.

“CHARGE!!” Buddy shouted, and everyone attacked Mach from so many angles, so many blows and attacks. “Let’s capture him!” Artie hollered.

“Let’s do what’s right
And end this fight!” added Rhymey.

“VIVA!” shouted the twins.

The men all powered up their finishers.

“WHIPLASH STRIKE!”

“SUPER STAFF SPIN!”

“THRASH SLASH!”

“BOOM-BOOM FLARE!”

All those powerful finishers struck the alien hard making huge explosions and showers of sparks, and finally he fell over and exploded, and he was magically shrunk down and imprisoned in a sphere.

“Wow! Did we just do that?” Pinkie asked.

“Ohh…!!” Rarity groaned while stroking her aching fingers.

Buddy was panting wearily, “That was one tough guy.”

Rhymey agreed,

“We are not fit like our friends are,
Our strengths are only so-so by far.”

Everyone then agreed on one thing…

“We ought to take time to train,” said Dyno. “Strengthen ourselves, get used to more of our powers.”

Myte nodded and added, “Then we may be better prepared in case any other attacks happen.”

“Well, I know the perfect place for that.” said Applejack.

“Me too.” added Rainbow.
