Burning Hatred versus Flaming Love

It was a quiet morning. It wasn't sunny. After all, there were always clouds.  The pony group were making an ambush on a rock over the road to the castle.

• How longer should we wait! - Luna was unhappy.

• Untill the patrool comes, so we can get their keys. - Hawk said her.

The gates finally opened and the morning patrool walked to the rock. They even didn't feel when two stun arrows hit them:

• Arrgh!

• Quick! We should hide them before somepony sees them and startes an alarm! - Twilight spoke.

The  pony group went down and hid the two guards behind a stone. They got their gate keys. But there was a nasty surprise. When they opened the gate, two other guards stood just in front of them. before either could say something Rarity jumped and kicked the both with her hind hooves.

• Rarity, good. The essential here is to stay hidden. Celestia and Luna will lock the gates of the left garnizon, Pinkie and AJ will lock these of the right. Glace goes in the temple and kills as many fire ghosts as he can. I will also hide there and help him. Rarity, I want you to eliminate the guards, that are currently out of the garnizon.Dash and Fluttershy will eliminate those,who will flee. Twilight, you will help me, Glace and Rarity with the Fire lord. Untill then, help the Widow. That's the plan. - Hawk told them.

   Everypony went, where they should. The part of the princesses, Pinkie and Applejack was easy, so they met,where they began from.

• Applejack and Pinkie, you should aid Dash and Fluttershy in the air and we will help Twilight and Rarity. Roger? - Luna commanded

• Alright. - replied Applejack and flew together with PInkie to the hide out of the both pegasi.

• What are you doing here, girls? You should block the troops! - dash was confused

• We double locked them! - Pinkie replied.

A single guard stood and watched the little sun, that got under the clouds. He even didn't feel the quick punch- kick combo and fell unconcious.

• That's one, darling. - Rarity was satisfied

• One for me too. - replied Twilight, as she hit a troop with a door.

• Two for us. - said Luna and Celestia after they bucked a barrel to the unexpecting guards.

• Everything is going as planned for now. I just hope, that Glace and Hawk are doing alright. - Rarity was worried

The task of Glace and Hawk was much harder.

• Come at me, monster! - Glace yelled at a fire ghost. They were even uglier than he thought. The ghost rushed to him. He slid beneath him and shot an ice beam right in the spot. The ghost fell. When he turned, he saw, that another ghost was atacking him. But he immeadietly fell, struck by an ice arrow.

• You owe me one, pal. - spoke Hawk from the shadows

Glace shot a ghost, that climbed unnnoticed to Hawk and answered:

• Even.

The two forms of Hase continued to freeze the ghosts, untill there was no ghost left.

• Come on. Let's regroup with the others! - said Glace

Hawk jumped from the top of the pillar, on which he stood, and went to the yard.

• How is it? - asked the archer and the icelord

• All guards... - began Luna

-... are pretty good locked down! - finished Applejack

• Those, who tried to flee, are down! - reported Rainbow Dash

• The ground is also clear, dar...Hawk! - the word "darling"almost slipped through Rarity's lips.

• That leaves us with the lord. - spoke Hase

Blaze was quietly playing with a fireball. His flaming mane was waving because of the wind. The magma from his tail fell into the volcano pit beneath his throne. His throne room was on the volcano slope, but the throne itself was in the crater. His flaming eyes looked the beatiful gate in the other side of the hall. His platinum armour shined. Than suddenly his break from tyranizing the people of the village was interrupted by a group of ponies breaking into the hall.

• What now? - the Fire lord asked without even looking at the ponies who entered.

• Remember me? - spoke a familliar voice.

The letargy in which the Fire lord had fallen was totally broken. He got off the throne and walked out of the volcano. he could now clearly see the group.

• Hawk!

• Blaze!

• You dare come in here? GUARDS!

• Locked down.

The Fire lord was confused for a second, but then a grinn appeared on his face:

• Even better. Fire ghosts!

• Extinguished. - noted Glace

Blaze was dissapointed. But he tried to hide this and spoke:

• I see, that new ponies had joined your group, rebell. Three alicorns, the lord of Ice, a new Widow and some other ponies, who love freedom as you do. The gang of the prophecy, isn't it?

• Yes. Your rule is to it's end. You'll be extinguished just llike the fire ghosts of yours.

• Really? You think wrong, master markspony. - said he and sent a fire wave at his enemies.

• Hide! - yelled Hawk. Everypony jumped and hid behind the columns. The wave didn't hit anypony.

• You see, Hawk, I am not a ruler, that just sits on his throne and does nothing. I am able to fight for it and I will!

An arrow flew to Blaze. he hit it with his lava tail and swung the hot magma to the place, from where it came from.

• Show yourself! - he was angry

Another arrow was shot. The same repeated.

• Coward! Predictable coward! - said the Fire lord and hit the nearby column with his tail. This time evrypony heard Hawk yell. Glace and Rarity jumped in the middle in the hall. Glace fired an ice beam at the lord, but he once more swung his lava tail and blocked it.

• Reinforcements? Come on! - he taunted and fired another fire wave. Rarity made a front flip over it and Glace just jumped over it.

• The new Widow. Guess he didn't tell you how I killed the old one. I threw her in the volcano. Alive! - he laughed and sent a fireball. Rarity avoided it and shot a poisonous bullet from her bracelet. Blaze just laughed:

• Girl, I am made out of fire. No poison can hurt me!

Rarity jumped at the stalion and started punching and kicking him. But he also was very fast. He finally caught her and lifted her in the air.

• You shall die the same way! - said he and threw her in the volcano. The one thing he didn't notice was the rope. When he realised what he saw,he turned around just to see two hind hooves.

• Ouch! - the face of the fire lord was hurt. - You shall pay for this!

Suddenly everypony felt an earthquake.

• He'll use his most powerful spell- Erruption. RUN! - yelled Glace

Everypony ran, but Baze got Rarity again.

• At least you shall die!

The lava started pouring from the crater. It did nothing to the fire stalion, but Rarity could feel the heat under her hind hooves.

Blaze started lowering her. There was no more than an inch between her hooves and the rising lava, before an arrow with a rope struck the nearby wall, Rarity dissapeared from his right front hoof and he felt sharp pain in his brests.

• Arrgh! What's that? - he felt, that he was dying.

Hawk and Rarity stopped for a bit on the entrance. He spoke:

• Concentrated living ice. The dose should be enough even for you.

Than the both unicorn ran, as the lava devastated the castle behind

• I CURSE YOUUU! - were the last words of Blase, before he became a part of the pouring lava.

The ponies finally escaped. They saw, that the lava carried a ruby. Twilight lifted it and put it in the medalion. The nearby rock opened and turned into a portal.

• Come on! - yelled Dash.

• One minute. - said Rarity and looked at Hawk. - Now I am sure it isn't the suit.

• You do? - Hawk looked in her eyes.

• Yes. I love you.

• I love you too.

Than Hawk and Rarity kissed each other, ignoring the fact, that the whole group started whistling and singing '' Hawk and Rarity are sitting on a tree...".

• I guess you are coming with us, then? - asked Celestia

• I won't leave Rarity. - he answered.

• Oh, darling.

• I hope there is a spa in the other place. You are beatiful enough now, I imagine how do you look in your perfect form.

Everypony laughed and passed through the portal except Spike and Hawk.

• I guess that's it. - Spike sighed.

• Yes. She decided. But there are plenty fish in the sea. I am sure, that a pretty dragoness awaits you out there, I will even find you one once it all ends.

• Really? - Spike was happy again.

• Really! Bros?

• Bros! - answered Spike and enthered the portal together with his new friend.
