Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 4
By TDR
Twilight's Kraken
Part Two, Part 5
Rahs was pissed.
Not just at Tirek, that was given. So far however he had managed to 'kill' the centaur a number of times without the massive creature doing the same to him. Tirek relied far too much on magic and he could deal with that, the problem was a lot of Tirek's magic was used to buff himself and that was harder to eat than the spell bolts and other attack spells.
What was worse, with all the stolen magic he had, every spell tasted like one of Sweetiebelle's stews where she threw EVERYTHING in. It was only sheer force of will, and the fact he was burning through it so fast that kept Rahs from vomiting.
Right now though Rahs was pissed off at his 'suitors' for putting themselves in danger like this when they didn't need to.
He and Twilight were getting to be old hat at this sort of stupid, and it wasn't as if they could be killed no matter how nasty this oversized pile of crap got.
The others could be killed , quite easily.
Saturnia and a swarm of Changelings flew into the fray, peppering Tirek with arrows, bombs, and spears, all about as effective as throwing a claw full of tooth picks at some one in plate armor. Rahs had needed to step between them and Tirek to intercept a massive area of effect blast of magic that would have melted the flesh off all of them, judging from what it did to his arms and chest. It took a moment to recover from that and his ribs were briefly exposed.
Jynx and a pack of Diamond Dogs burst from the ground a bit later, dropping Tirek into a trench and laying into him with weapons. That gave Rahs a second to recover and to watch Jynx go air born and bring some massive club up into Tirek's jaw, taking it off completely with her swing. While that and her outfit were impressive, Tirek nearly wiped out all of them with a poison gas cloud spell. One that Twilight only just teleported the lot of them out of before they were killed.
And the less said about Applejack's attempt the better. Biting his ankle and simple getting kicked free to soar through the air and crash into the new barn over at Sweet Apple acres on the other side of town was probably the dumbest attempt.
He was was expecting Trixie and Sunset to show up at some point and do something dumb too.
There would be words with those three when this was all over.
Particularly since now Tirek knew they existed and would probably go after them next.
And he would get that chance if something didn't happen soon, because Rahs and Twilight were losing.
The explosion of dirt and what was left of the local insurance office of Ponyville marked the stopping point of Twilight Sparkle after a lucky hit from the centaur connected with her.
“Damn it.” Twilight swore as she dug herself out of the rubble.
“Twilight!” Rainbow Dash called gliding down to help her out of the debris. Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy followed up behind her rather quickly along the ground.
“What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to run?” Twilight demanded.
“No.” Pinkie stated.
“Not at all.” Fluttershy added.
“Nope.” Rainbow Dash pointed out.
“Darling no one has seen you since you went off to deal with whatever Celestia wanted.” Rarity added.
“Spike.... is he hiding at least?”
“Well maybe? Sunset grabbed him and teleported off soooo perhaps?” Pinkie Pie pointed out.
“Seems no one else listened though, did you tell Jynx and Saturnia?” Twilight demanded.
“Of course Twilight, but it seems they had other ideas.” Rarity sighed looking over as another explosion happened. The fight was getting closer to town.
“ You need to get out of here and hide. All of you. I don't know how much longer we can keep this up, he's got far more magic in him than I expected.” Twilight growled.
“You seem to be doing pretty well.” Fluttershy added.
“We're not. We're losing.” Twilight admitted.
“What?!” the others demanded.
“Shining Armor and I seem to be immune to the draining effect, Spike likely would be too, but the problem is Rahs isn't. Well, he is himself, but all the power flowing through the link between us, most of it is bleeding out of him in those sparks and fire from his fur. Tirek is eating that. And while Rahs is draining his magic right back, Tirek is draining more than Rahs is.” Twilight explained. “Unless we do something fast we are not going to win this, he's just going to wear us down and get more powerful, so you all need to go an hide before it's too late.”
“Nothing doing Twi.” Witch Jack snarled as she hobbled up, moving on all fours and favoring her back leg. “ Ah ain't letting that critter beat us.”
“Applejack he bitch slapped you to the other side of town and you literally did nothing to him.” Twilight snapped. “You all need to get out of here. We can't win this.”
“Pathetic.”
Twilight's head snapped up, as the others glanced to the side to see a dark gray stallion approaching, his black mane and tail whipping in an unseen wind. The stallion had a sword in a sheath at his side and was carrying another sheathed sword held in his magic at his other side.
“Sombra....” Rainbow Dash frowned.
“What did you say?” Twilight snapped.
“I called you pathetic.” Sombra stated stopping before the group. “I expected more from the mare who beat me before she was even a god.”
“You.... I've been fighting Tirek all morning and you just stroll up here and...” Twilight growled.
“Really? Fighting? Because all I see you doing at the moment is whining about losing. I hate to say I agree with the hayseed over here, but in this instance I do.” Sombra offered.
“Ummm thanks? Maybe?” Witch Jack grumbled.
“You fought me with a concussion and showed more spine than you have now. “Sombra huffed. “ If you cannot win, then simply find a way to do so.”
“I'm trying to make sure everyone else is safe!” Twilight growled.
“Indeed, though the simplest way to do that is to destroy that which threatens them.” Sombra shrugged. “I too would very much like it if Rarity went and hid somewhere, but after our talk it was brought to my attention I neither own her nor control her actions to the point that I can tell her what to do.”
“That is quite correct darling.....” Rarity agreed.
“By the same token she neither owns nor controls me...”
“Hold on, I do not like where this is going.” Rarity frowned.
“... as such If you are finished I am going to deal with this attacker myself.” Sombra offered turning to head towards the edge of town where the conflict was happening.
“Are you crazy!?” Rarity snapped.
“Of course not. I was raised in a war, and surrounded by creatures that fed on magic. As has been proven by Rahs, I am a bit resistant to such drain. I could have beaten Rahs and your guards, though it was you who defeated me.” Sombra paused as he considered. “ In the end Sparkle I suppose I should thank you partially for that.”
“What?”
“I spent quite a long time existing with no reason for anything. Then you blasted me out of my castle and I wound up here and found a reason to continue.”Sombra explained.
“Awww that is so swee...” Rarity blushed.
“The pony that invented chocolate ice cream is a genius.”Sombra continued.
“....eet....” Rarity trailed off with a huff glaring at Sombra as he smirked at her.
“But enough of that. I have no intent to back down. And neither should you. If your magic fails use your hooves, if those fail bite. If your teeth are removed... well it makes it easier to hold a sword.” Sombra stated before tossing Twilight the sword he carried along in his magic. “I made you one as well since you seemed to cry foul when I used my blade on you. And now you have no excuse, not to continue the fight.”
With that Sombra strode off towards the conflict.
“I don't know if I want to hug him or kill him.” Rarity growled.
“Maybe hug him to death in a slow embrace that chokes the life out of him and by the time he realizes it, it will be do late and you'll have crushed him to death in your coils?” Fluttershy muttered.?
Rarity blinked and looked to Pinkie Pie in askance gesturing to Fluttershy and pinkie Simply shrugged.
Twilight however noticed none of that conversation.
The blade had slid partially from the sheath as she caught it, baring enough of the finely crafted blade to show her reflection in the polished metal....
….and the cascade of rainbow coloration that ran along the blades length.
Woop sombra being the final key giver is pawsome
called it
Well, for the latter, wait for it...

Can this blade perform Getsuga Tensho with Rainbow power? It would be too awesome even Tea Cup has to admit it.
Question, will it still be a sword after it's been exposed to the box? Or will it forever be a key?
Celestia dang it, quit getting my unwanted Disney-Final Fantasy Crossover into your fic!
Finally! I've made it to season 4!
...
Now I have to finish season 4...
The blade is going to turn into a keyblade joke isn't it?
10636261
I wasn't thinking that at first but now I am
Dammit! I had bits on an harmony axe!
Twilight taught Sombra friendship. How sweet.
…
Just watch him get his Cutie Mark for this.
10636198
Fingers crossed we don't end up with a keyblade
10636337
I'd be in whole hearted agreement BUT there are writers who could make it work. SOMEHOW!!!! Possibly.
that final key, i respect. Because honestly, the Discord key was kinda bull.
10636261
Pinkie Pie: You know it.
So now that Twilight has a rainbow sword I suppose now all that's left is to defeat Tirek and face the TRUE final boss of season 4, Dark Matter
In all seriousness this is spectacular stuff, well done.
....... WHY JUST WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS
Something, Something,Key to Tireks Heart?
He's right you know
Indeed they are
10636286
Same
10636379
Well, stabbing is certainly one way to open a heart.
As Twilight promptly turns his lovingly crafted sword into a key for the deus ex box. Oh well... was a nice sword while it lasted, but I don't see any of those items coming back.
Just wait until he tries cookie dough.
It's rainbow time!

Following up on this, it would be hysterical if after Sombra gets his Cutie Mark he stares at it in complete shock for a few moments before prancing about like any foal.
It would hysterical/adorable right up until he goes (in an gleeful mindset) “Look Mom! I got my—“ and he stops himself halfway through.
Then it would be him trying to be his usual brooding self. Of course it doesn’t last long. Just long enough for Rarity to talk to him privately, and actually gets him to admit what he really wants.
Which MIGHT lead to a moment between Sombra and Luna where they awkwardly go through the “Look mom I got my cutie Mark” routine… in his dreams where Sombra is a colt and Luna is Luna and not nightmare moon.
A dream that both of them wish was real. And for that one night, it was.
Neato
Huzzah! Just caught up with this story. This show down is freaking epic and I love it!
Also, I like that Discord is smart enough to stay out of this. Instead of picking up the idiot ball like in canon...
Looking forward to more Ponyball Z madness!
IT’S SHOWTIME!!!!!!!
They bonded through murder
Huh... so it was Sombra that gives Twilight the last key instead of Discord... It makes sense, yet I still didn't see it coming.
Good try.......
Okay, Rarity and Fluttershy are terrifying.
And we have use a....... damnit I can't not use the word 'Key Blade'... still I like it, and.. Sombra is kind of an ass but not fully wrong. Twilight is looking at how things are going now and panicking over her friends being hurt because she isn't winning, so not thinking strategically over how to actually win this. Granted, the solution isn't for Twilight to find a clever trick, it's "She really would lose if not for Harmony prepping for this." But still, nice speech.
I was wondering what you were gonna be doing for Twi's. I like this. >:3
How pissed is Sombra gonna be when he finds out the sword he made (probably slaving over a blistering hot forg for hours making) was turned into a key?
Does this mean that Sombra put time, energy, sweat and possibly blood into making a sword for Twilight...
And she’s going to shove it into a magic box and turn it into a key?
Bro he bout to be hella mad.
Sombra is quite the romantic
Naruto Shippuden referance?
concusion
Overlord referance Delices way how Ains crushed Clementine the assasin
10943619
No, it's definitely concision
So that's what it became! Nice. I was wondering since Discord is on the moon.
10986052
I don't know.... How does one fight in a state of being concise? I mean if the battle had been over quick enough to make you question if you could actually call it a battle, maybe I could see how it could be fought in a state of being concise.
10943619 10986052
I'm pretty sure it should be concussion. Bookhorse had received a concussion around the same time if I remember correctly. She had to wear some magic-inhibitor rings during part of TGaP 3
So now we know what replaced Discords gift.
You know, Sombra is probably going to be pretty peeved when Twilight immediately sacrifices the gift that he made for her to the Harmony Box, without ever actually using it as it was created to be used. It'll still be used to fight Tirek, in a way, so it may take the edge off of his ire, but I still suspect that there will be exasperation.
Also, keyblade.
