What if....

“Charlie!!!”

Charlie hit the ground with a loud thump. Twilight watched in fear as Charlie rolled on the incline, and finally fell still. Blood pumped out of the wound, pooling on the ground. Twilight looked up to where Charlie was originally standing, and saw a white wisp in his place. After a few seconds, the wisp began to solidify, and it began to turn into a figure. Finally, the figure formed into a human, and that human turned to face the group. Once Twilight saw the human’s face, she immediately recognized it.

“Heinrich!”

“What, that’s Heinrich?!” Applejack shouted. Twilight nodded.

“Yes, I remember him from the memory.”

“Very good my little pony.” Heinrich walked down the incline and up to Charlie’s body.

“Poor Charlie, all he vanted vas friends.”

“You monster!” Rarity shouted.

“Oh, quiet unicorn, he had it coming to him!”

“Why, why would you do this?” Pinkie asked, tearing up.

“He vould be an obstacle in my master plan!”

“Oh, and what’s your plan?” Rainbow seethed.

“Calm down, little pony, all I’m going to do is enslave all of ponykind…” Heinrich suddenly began cackling.

Twilight motioned for her friends to come closer, to which did.

“Come on girls, know that we know his plan, we can take him down.” Rainbow whispered.

“But what about Charlie?!” Pinkie cried out.  Rainbow Dash glanced over to Charlie, who had a pool of blood around him.

“I… I’m sorry, he’s…….. gone.”

Pinkie Pie rubbed off a tear, then glanced over at Heinrich, who was still cackling. She growled.

“How can we get rid of him?!”

Twilight glanced over to the tree.

“Walk over to the tree; I’ll see what we can do.”

The group broke off, and when he saw the ponies walking towards the tree, Heinrich stopped laughing.

“Oh, and vhat do you think you are doing.”

“Nothing, but what are you going to do?” Twilight asked.

“Well, since you asked, I am going to take over ponykind…”

“With what?” Twilight interrupted.

“You are quite the curious one Twilight Sparkle. So be it.”  Heinrich walked up to the tree.

“I vill take over ponykind vith this!”

He placed his hand on the tree, and suddenly the ground began to shake. Soon everything began to shake, and the ceiling began to break. Suddenly the tree began to glow brightly, and it broke through the ceiling.

“Was that necessary?” Rainbow asked.

“Yes,” Heinrich responded. “for now my plan can begin. I shall now resurrect the dead warriors of this place, and take over all of Equestria.”

The ground began to shake once more. Bones began to unearth and began to form together to create full human skeletons. They appeared to look at the ponies when they formed.

“They vere already guarding this place,” Heinrich commented. “but now they vill take over Equestria, isn’t it vundabar?”

“No, and now is the time to stop you,” Twilight yelled. “and to avenge Charlie!”

“Hah, nothing can be done to stop me, not even you ponies and your magic!”

“Oh, don’t be so sure.” Twilight said while she walked up to the tree.

If what Princess Celestia said about the Elements and the Relic was true, and my hunch is right, then this should work.

She placed her hoof on the tree and closed her eyes. Immediately felt the magic flow through her.

Perfect.

“Girls, formation!”

The ponies gathered around Twilight, and closed their eyes. Heinrich immediately frowned.

“Vhat’s going on.”

“Face the power of friendship!” Twilight yelled before she opened her eyes, which were glowing white.

“Vhat!!” Was all Heinrich could say before he and the skeletons were consumed in a rainbow of magic.

Twilight Sparkle and her friends walked up to the fallen body of Charlie. Twilight turned him over. He had a look of feat plastered on his face and his eyes were shot wide open. Twilight closed her eyes and smiled, then closed his eyes with her magic.

“Goodbye…… Charlie.”
