We stand united 1x1 Maple Bat

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"Thank you." Luna said flatly but appreciative "Big? Well We plan on searching as long as it takes. I want revenge." Luna's eyes seemed to go from the normal eye to slit eyes like Maple's but only for a second when she blinked it went away "See you around"

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack nodded, not having seen her eyes.

He started to sneak through the hallways, he suddenly saw a very large creature walking past the window, followed by a large group of soldiers.

Jack ducked beneath the window as he held his with breath, full of fear.

'Just need to let them pass...'  he thought.

He then started to walk further, until he eventually found a door that led to a massive and deep cavern, leading miles deep into the ground.

'The core must probably be deeper down, that would make the most sense I guess.' Jack thought.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna was wandering around the base attacking any monsters she saw in her path her anger gave her strength. She wasn't thinking though what happens if she got beaten in combat all she cared about was finding the core and destroying it.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"Luna, I think I have found the right path to the core, there is a cavern leading really deep, I suspect that is where they have to build it." he said through the communicator.

"Tough i suspect we will face lots of them down there." he said

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna jumped hearing about that "Where are you. Once we set it off I'll teleport us both out of here somewhere safe." She wasn't sure where to go.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maple when she had arrived in ponyville was greeted quickly by fluttershy.

"Maple is... is that really you? I..." She was still crying "I was told you died."

Maple laughed "I'm ok. Nothing cuts me too deep."

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"I am afraid teleportation won't work, they use static fields all around the facility, which means teleportation won't work. Many of their enemies make use of teleportation after all" Jack explained.

"I am close to some deep cavern, it leads down for miles. Try to follow some of those power conduits, they should lead you to the place." Jack said

"Hold on, something is coming." he said.

 

Jack took cover behind a wall and looked around the corner  

"More are coming this way, you need to watch out, i already saw a big group looking for us when i was sneaking past them." he said as one of the doors blasted open.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"What if I just destroyed these conduits?" Luna asked aggressively as she followed them "Wouldn't that have the same effect?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fluttershy hugged Maple through her tears. "I'm so glad your ok."

Twilight walked over to her. "Maple, Fluttershy said you knew about the pony that attacked us, Treasured crystal..." She said puzzled "I think it was that name. He tried to kill me because I was an alicorn."

"Yea, He hates alicorns He won't rest until he is the 'Prince' of everything and the one ruler of all." Maple said direly. "He doesn't hesitate to harm any that get in his way and he is really bad about being modest."

Twilight understood more but was still wondering things "Right but he said you where his only peer. What does he mean."

"I'm the only one who actually stands a change against him alone." Maple replied. "He's wrong though 'Tia's a lot stronger now she stands a good chance."

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"That won't do any good, these conduits only are men't to power some doors and evelators, i think the conduits from the actual core are spread all over the center straight from the caverns, but i think they have hard wired them somewhere, for obvious reasons." Jack said as he took further cover. A large enemy group started firing at him.

Jack shot a magical blast on the rock ceiling, wich collapsed lots of rubble on the door, wich closed off one of the doors, so the enemies could not go further in.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna started flying down the corridors following the circuit boxes trying to group back up with Jack. "Hold on We're on the way."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Woody had finished his magic lesson and went to go check on Maple. He told the guards that he needed in their under princess' orders. They opened the doors and Maple was gone. "Gah! I should have known. You two may leave now." he told them Where could she have gone?

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"We need to hurry, our enemy is known for having extreme numbers, meaning they won't be running out anytime soon. I will try to hold them off until you get here. At least I hope I can." he said as he started taking a look at his surroundings.

Suddenly a really big creature had entered from one of the open doors. It stood 12 feet tall and resembled a bit like a massive gorilla, but those 2 big golden eyes and scales made it look different.

"O damn..." he said as he took a few steps back. The creature was equipped with a massive weapon that seemed to fire massive fireballs, but had an rather explosive radius on impacts.

Jack jumped out of the way as it started firing. It fired in long delays, but one hit was capable of blowing someone apart.

Jack eventually managed to get close it by advancing from cover to cover. He jumped on its Jack and started to use electricty powers againts the creatures head, yet it only seemed to anger it and swing its weapon around like a maniac, trying to throw Jack off.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna was moving fast through the halls since she was flying She saw the giant beast. She drew her blade and cast a spell on it turning the blade into a heavy two handed sword. She flew straight at the monster when she was getting close she grabbed the weapon and started flipping in mid air building momentum. When she hit she spun horizontal in mid air to spin and strike again after the second slash she quickly backed off the monster ready to handle a counter attack.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

The creature roared in agony as it started smoking, those 2 hits had already done critical damage to it, but it was still alive. It was about to fire at Luna with its weapon.

Jack noticed this and used most of his magic to fire at the creatures head before it could fire its weapon.

Jack threw himself off the creature as its started to explode, it was overheating from all the damage and literly exploded intirely, the machinery attached to the creature was no longer working after all.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna returned her blade to normal and sheathed it. She ran over to Jack "Are you ok?" She asked worried "Sorry for the delay on getting here."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Applejack had given everyone some apples since the farm was still ok. She look at Maple "So what you mean to tell us sugercube is there is a pony that is a fake alicorn who want to basically become a real one." She asked confused.

Maple nodded as she 'drank' an apple "Exactly. He just doesn't like the inaction of the princesses so he wants thing to be done his way thus he has to do it himself." She explained carefully "I however agree to their rule and work really hard to protect them."

"And you're doing absolutly briliantly darling." Rarity said "Although the armor is a tad bland."

Maple laughed. "I like it. Wouldn't have it any other way." She looked at the sentiment in the armor. All sorts of scratches and marks left by weapons and magic. And then there was the gemstone which had broken when Maple had almost died she smiled even at this. This set of armor had seen a lot of action and so had she.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack was laying on the floor with a big groan.

"I don't think i am, i was to close when that thing exploded, on my left side i can only feel pain, lots and lots of pain..."

He tried to move, but he had to much pain around his lower hip.

"You will have to leave me behind, i am practically worthless now."

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"Worthless? No. Did you leave Maple behind when she was dying?" Luna, determined, picked Jack up "Actually I think I will leave you here for now... I'll come back for you a promise. But first the core."

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"Be careful." Jack said weakly.

 

 

 

 

The caverns were leading down really deep, but at the very end was a massive space, where the core was. It was like a massive pipe of yellow light, and it was constantly rotating with reactors all around it.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"Jack I see it..." She said confused "Now how do I safely set it off so I can come get you and get us both out of here without getting killed?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maple and the others had finished talking and Maple was evacuating them since the elements weren't going to work on these beast.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"Normally most would use timed explosives, but in this case... I think the only way in this case is to directly destroy it, while the core wille explode, it would take around 7 minutes for th entire facily to blow up. That should give you enough time to escape, tough you would to gather all the speed you can." he said with a pained voice

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna was thinking about it. "Well... Alright. But I'm not leaving you behind!" She Charged a powerful magic blast blasting it at the core. After her blast hit she flew off to go get Jack. "Ok lets get out of here."

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Eventually, the entire facility starting to overload, while it didn't explode directly, it was on its way with doing it. Enemy soldiers were swarming out like bee's in order to get to their assailants, even at the very face of death, their only wish was to destroy their enemies.

Luna's action had been so fast that the enemy didn't even have time to protect the core itself, most would never have been able to do it at a speed like this

 

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna after finding Jack again picked him up with magic and started to fly back to the elevator area. She growled "How many more of these do you think there are. Dozens? Hundreds?!"

-------------------------------------------------

Woody had finally found Maple He was mad. "How dare you sneak out it was very dangerous for you to do that! You're the only thing that gives the bat pony army hope!"

"I... I'm sorry. I just wanted to see if mom was ok..." Maple said down.

"Look next time ask me and I'll go check ok?" woody said calming down

Maple nodded "Ok!"

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"Dozens or more! They are drawing their numbers from other planets as well, so there is no telling how many soldiers they have, it's why everyone fears them in the first place!"

Jack said over the rush of the wind.

"And we managed to destroy one of their main factories, at this point they are getting insanely desperate with trying to destroy us!" He said

Eventually, a group of 8 soldiers blocked the path to the elevator and started shooting at them, they were trying everything they could in order to kill Jack and Luna.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Before the soldiers showed up Luna said "Well then we can destroy them all!"... When the soldiers showed up Luna had expected it She surrounded her and Jack in a shield and charged to get past them The shield knocking the enemies down. "Huzzah! We cannot be stopped!"

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack was starting to get a bit weaker from his wounds, only the sheer adrenaline and rush of the battle managing to keep him awake.

"We are almost there!" he said

Jack's stragety to defend the the entrance from the outside proved usefull, as enemies where engaging the Equestrians, it was turning in a bloody but heavy engaged battle, tough so far it did not look like any side was going to win at the moment.

 

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Their mission had been finished Luna called for a retreat The equestrian army turned tail to run away. Luna put jack down on the ground outside the facility and attacked any enemies who started to go after the army covering their escape.
