Twilight's Rage (Patreon)

Another moment from the anthro MLP dream/movie I watched with Petina in the Staging Area of my dreamscape. Some of the Mane Six served on the frontline. All Units Stand By While others worked in more covert operations Killer Butterfly. However one in particular stayed primarily behind the lines doing research. That was until the war came to her. 

       The howl of the klaxons echoed through the halls of the facility as scientist and technicians raced to find shelter in the emergency underground bunkers. Punctuating the blaring sirens was staccato roar of gunfire and the crackling sound of magic blasts as the facility's security forces battled the attackers that had suddenly descended upon that facility this evening. 

       Death Shadow Kalakrum watched as his spell burst the next line defense wards; he roared and sent his forces through this new breach in the enemy's defenses. The security forces were putting up a spirited defense but Kalakrum forces had the numerical superiority and in his mind the outcome was inevitable. The security forces would be crushed and the research staff would be slaughtered. This would all happen well before any relief forces could reach the facility, and by then they his forces would have achieved its goals. His forces would slip away and the enemy will have lost some of its best and brightest minds.  

      This made Kalakrum smile. These ponies annoyed him to no end and their resistance which was far more effective than they should've been. It seemed like everyday these ponies seemed to come up with new and confounding ways to thwart their enemy. Destroying this facility would be a blow to the ponies and their gadgets.

      Kalakrum moment of self-reflection was interrupted by sounds of desperate fighting from the forces he'd sent into the breach. He could hear them frantically firing and the howls of them dying. Soon the remainder of the assault force came boiling back out of the breach. 

      The Death Shadow was pondering what this turn of events meant when a thunderous explosion tore one side of the west wing clean off. This is where Kalakrum forces had entered. For several seconds swirling dust and smoke obscured his and his force's view. Then a sole figure hovering in the air came into view. It's form backlit by the fire that now raged behind it. 

      For several seconds there was a pause in the fighting as this one lone figure confronted Kalakrum's forces. Then in a voice that was deafening to all gathered the figure spoke. 

      "YOU WHO HAVE COME HERE TONIGHT WITH ONLY MURDEROUS INTENT SHALL FAIL! FOR I, PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE DAUGHTER OF TWILIGHT VELVET AND NIGHT LIGHT SHALL THWART YOUR PLANS AND DEFEAT YOU! I GIVE THIS ONE CHOICE! SURRENDER NOW OR PERISH HERE TONIGHT! WHAT SHALL IT BE?"  

     Kalakrum howled in frustration. His intelligence had assured him that the newest of the alicorn princesses would not be here tonight. This was the pony who's research and technology had stymied their forces and inflicted so many casualties. 

    His forces didn't need his orders. They opened fire with everything at their disposal. The alicorn vanished in a hail spell detonations and explosions. This continued for several seconds then fire subsided. The smoke slowly cleared and Twilight was still there apparently unscathed. She spoke again. Softly this time, but it seemed to carry even more force. 

    "Very well. You've sealed your fate this night."

   For Kalakrum and his forces gathered that night. It was last thing they ever heard.
