>You turn your attention to the two mares again.
"Hey, are you guys alright?"
>Redheart is still a bit shaky, but she forces her legs to work as she stands.
>Pinkie seems to be squinting out to where the shadow fled, attempting to find it in the night sky.
>Neither give a response, but you can see they are also unharmed.
>You approach Redheart as she simply looks up at you, slowly regaining her composure.
 
>New Quest: Fuck bitches, get money.
 
 
>As Redheart surveys the wreckage her eyes begin to widen, focusing on a few who are injured not far from her home.
"I guess you'll need help with the injured, is there anything I could do?"
>She rushes past you to the injured, only shouting over her shoulder in response.
>"No! Don't worry! If I need your help I'll come get you!"
>Pinkie shifts behind you, catching your attention.
>"Fuck, I can't find it. What WAS that thing Anon?"
>Well, shit, you’d figure they would have some odd horse-equivalent of cursing.
>At least it wasn’t something stupid line like ‘Buck’.
>"I’m gonna try and help out however I can!"
>That’s something you were glad to hear, the more help for whatever’s happening, the better!
>"Oh, and Nonny. Thank you for protecting me."
>Before you could blink, the pink pony had bounced up and planted a kiss right on your cheek, giggling at what she did just seconds later.
“R-right. I guess you could come with me, and let’s see how we can help these guys.”
>PINKIE PIE ADDED TO PARTY! (She is now accessible by commands.)
 
>Unleash Duck on Ponka. <COMMAND NOT FOUND (...Duck? I bet you meant to say fuck, didn’t you? You dirty bastard.)
 
 
 
 
>Status: (Anon - You’re a bit shaken, but have been completely uninjured by the passover, but why? [HP: 100/100])
(Redheart - The passover had shaken you and there were slight aches on your body from being pushed down by Anon, but nothing major. [HP: 125/125])
(Pinkie Pie - Bouncing with energy, not even the recent incident can slow you down! [HP: 100/100])
 
>You start looking around with Pinkie at your side, seeing if there’s anyone in need of assistance.
>Among others, there were a few calls of distress:
-There was a mint-green colored pony that was trapped under wooden debris;
-A small dragon near the library that had been knocked unconscious by other flying debris, seemingly unable to be reached due to black magic
-Another pony, purple and red in color was moderately injured by glass from a bar, struggling to get herself up
-Finally, there was a dark grey mare that had been burned profusely by the passing of the dark magic, completely motionless as she lay on the ground
 
>As you follow Pinkie's lead, you see another sight that diverted your attention
>Dat glorious, plump pink Ponka rump.
>You get a sudden urge to grip her sides and fuck her right there and now.
>A powerful déjà vu runs through your bones as you second guess yourself.
>Do you wish to continue this action? Y/N
 
“Pinkie, go find help for that grey mare over there!”
>She looks where you were pointing to, and she gasped in her hooves.
>”Ohmygosh, Octy! I’m right on it, Nonny!”
>As she ran off towards ‘Octy’, your previous feelings of unadulterated intense lust turning into something else.
>You wanted to ride her, but ride her like a knight in shining armor towards the aid of those in need!
>You almost step towards her, but you shake your head and get the thought out of your mind.
>Maybe later, but for now there were other things that needed tending to.
>Your attention returned to the mint-colored pony and the dragon, knowing they were both in dire need.
>It was very difficult to decide… But in the end, you know that the mint pony needed more help, she could be crushed any second now!
>You sprinted towards her and were kneeling besides her in mere moments, looking at the heavy beam she was desperately trying to support, slowly failing.
>”Nnngh, h-help..!”
>You throw your hands under the beam and heave with all of your might, the beam slowly giving to your higher human strength, allowing Lyra to escape from it.
>You drop the beam as soon as she dashed out from under it, the beam breaking as it fell to the ground.
>As you were heaving in exhaustion, the mint pone came up to you with tears in her eyes.
>”T-thank you…”
>You wave to her, too out of breath to speak well.
>Do you wish to help others [A], talk to the mint pony [B], go regroup with your party members [C], or Other? [D]
 
 
 
>Option A selected.
>You see Pinkie at the side of the mare with the grey coat, head to her chest as you presume she is looking for a pulse.
>Twilight seems to be trying to disperse the black magic surrounding the dragon, desperate to reach it.
>The purple pony was now attempting to dislodge shards of glass from her body, falling to the ground every time she attempted to stand again.
 
>What would you like to do?
 
 
>You decide that now isn’t the time to just sit back and observe.
>Without hesitation, you kneel down to her prone form.
>This is definitely something you’ve never done before. If only you remembered those books.
>She already looks like she’s dying, and the blood loss might help dull the pain a bit, so it’s not like you can make it any worse, right?
>You grasp the first glass shard, and gently pull it from her flesh.
>A nice stream of blood begins to seep out of the wound.
>Oh fuck. This isn’t good; there’s so much more glass, and if this one wound produces this much blood…
>This won’t do, you need to get her to proper medical attention.
>You pick her up, applying pressure to her wound with one hand.
>A few moments later, you find a nurse that’s free.
>Putting Berry Punch down next to her, you explain the situation.
>She assures you that the purple mare will be alright, and sends you on your way.
 
 
>There are still the two others, and some time has passed now.
>You see Pinkie struggling to lift the gray mare up, still as death, and move her towards the nurses.
>Twilight is still assaulting the black magic around the dragon with her own, obviously frustrated as she tries to push through.
>What would you like to do?
 
 
 
>Dammit, sorry dragon.
>You rush to Pinkie to assist with the gray mare.
>"Nonny, we need to get her to the nurses! She’s barely breathing."
>You nod, leaning down as Pinkie assists with putting her on your back.
>You hook your arms arms behind your back, holding her tight to you as you push forward.
>God, she was heavier than you thought.
>Using all of your might you trudge toward a few nurses and gently remove the weight from your back.
>"Octy, please be okay..."
>Pinkie's voice could just about break your heart, was there something you could have done sooner?
>No time to think about that, you place “Octy” on the ground and allow the nurses to tend to her.
 
>Finally, you turn your attention to Twilight and the dragon, immediately rushing to them with Pinkie in row.
>"Spike, no..."
>As you get closer, you can see tears streaming down Twilight's cheeks.
>Her attempts to reach Spike failing.
>You approach, staring at the poor dragon's crumpled body.
>Motionless.
 
 
>You riddle your brain for something, anything.
>You weren't harmed.
>Could you be immune?
"Twilight. Look, this is going to sound crazy, but let me try something. I think I am...resistant, or immune or something."
>She looks up to you, tears in her eyes as she simply nods.
>Desperation clearly present in her features as she takes your maniacal ranting as a potential solution.
 
>You take a step back, ready to charge into the black matter that seemed to hiss and spit back at you.
>The dark magic, terrifying and evil, stared into your very soul.
>You take a deep breath, and you charge.
 
>CONTINUE?
 
 
 
>Here goes everything.
>You rush the darkness, pushing through with ease.
>Inside you feel a force push on your body, and a light sting across your skin.
>Aside from that though, you appear to be fine.
>You look over your shoulder as Twilight stares mouth agape, and Pinkie cheers you on!
>Running, sprinting, you reach the little dragon.
>Black scars seem to etch over his body, but you can see the faintest sign of breathing in his features.
>You waste no more time, grabbing him and rushing back through the black magic out to the fresh air.
>A few nurses run to you as they see you emerge, but your vision is soon clouded by a mix of purple and pink as the two mares knock you to the ground in a tight embrace.
>"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"
>That is all Twilight can seem to say as Pinkie simply giggles.
>"Nonny that was amazing!"
>You feel pretty proud of yourself right now, then a rather loud clearing of the throat draws your attention past the two mares to the source.
>Redheart is standing there, a bit flustered by the display.
>"I'd like to inspect Anon and make sure he is alright."
>Twilight blushes, getting off of you immediately.
>Pinkie simply bounces up, and the two leave towards the center of town where all are non congregated.
>"Jeez Anon, that was so dumb of you...but pretty brave too. All those ponies are alive thanks to you. Others are still missing. Let's hope they are as fortunate..."
>Redheart looks down towards the ground, but gives a weak smile when she looks up.
>"I'm glad you are okay."
>You can't help but blush and want to cheer up the cute nurse in front of you.
>You want to ask about those you rescued, or what is going on.
>You want a lot, your emotions are a bit of a whirlwind.
 
>What do you want to do?
 
 
 
 
>You really wanted to cheer up this nurse, and you knew exactly how.
"Redheart."
>She locks eyes with you, ready to respond.
>Except she can't, because your lips are pressed to hers.
>She doesn't resist either, in fact, she pushes back fairly hard.
>As soon as the blissful experience started, it ended leaving you two blushing as you fumble for something to say.
"So...who exactly did I rescue?"
>"Oh, oh yes! Well, there was Lyra, Berry, Octavia, and Spike."
>Who should you ask about first?
 
>It is not quite the time to dance, but you have been wanting to for sometime.
>Maybe because of how nerve racking this all was.
>Just have to wait for now, but soon you will unleash your moves upon the world.
 
 
 
>Wait, wait. First of all, are there others that need help?
"Is there anybody else that needs help?"
>"No, not for now. Everybody is okay...everybody found that is."
>You look out, seeing that ponies are searching through rubble and debris.
>You can't save everybody, no matter how much you want to.
 
"Alright, what about Berry?"
>"She was the purple mare with glass lining her body. She'll need stitches, but she'll live."
>Phew, good.
 
"What about Spike?"
>"Well, good thing you grabbed him when you did. You saved his life. He is breathing, but he hasn't woken up yet..."
>Shit. You took too long...
"So...why is he a dragon?"
>Redheart looks at you quizzically, arching her head to side slightly.
>"That is his species...?"
 
 
 
"What about the other two?"
>"That'd be Octavia and Lyra. Lyra is fine, just a bit shaken from almost being crushed. Octavia is breathing, and awake. Lots of coughing and wheezing. It'll take time for her to recover."
 
>Satisfied with your questions you move towards the town center.
>Reaching for your pamphlet as reading material before putting it away again, remembering that you finished it.
>Redheart follows behind, and you decide you need to try and help with rescue efforts.
>En route towards what little remains of a house, you speak up.
"Hey, do you have any clue what that all was?"
>"No...no idea. Twilight might now? Magic is her expertise after all."
>You make a note to speak to her as soon as you are done with the rescue crew.
>You see the the mint pony staring down at the rubble of the house, other ponies gathered around her.
>What is going on?
>You approach behind and you instantly regret it.
>A cream colored mare lays there, still half buried in the rubble.
>Her body a perfect example of what a body should not be able to do.
>Lyra, is in hysterics, bawling her eyes out.
>You reach a hand out to grip her shoulder, but Redheart stops you.
>Shaking her head as a sign to leave her be for now.
>You wonder what that pony meant to Lyra.
 
>As you approach another crumbled home, Twilight approaches you.
>"How were you able to pass into that magic unharmed?"
>That was a good question.
 
 
 
 
"I have no idea...I wasn't injured in the initial attack, so I figured I wouldn't be injured by the aftermath either?"
>You grinned nervously, only now realizing how terribly flawed your logic could have been.
>"Fascinating. I'll have to research this, we'll set up a mee-, gah! Focus, focus. Look. However it works, it's because of you that Spike isn't dead. I owe you, and I think you should help in finishing what did this."
>Her look is determined, and you feel flattered that she wants your help in the first place.
>TWILIGHT SPARKLE ADDED TO PARTY!
 
>You examine your surroundings, looking over the destruction.
>You'd do what you can, but seeing that other pony dead did a number on you.
>So, maybe Twilight knows what is going on?
"Well, Twilight, what just...happened?"
>She fidgets, a nervous tone seeping into her voice.
>"I'm uh. I am not sure. Nothing has been that powerful, not Nightmare Moon, not Chrysalis, not Sombra. As strong as Discord was, this isn't his style either..."
>The names were lost to you, but her lack of an answer only furthered to distress those within earshot.
"Well, what are we dealing with then?"
>Twilight looks over the destruction before staring into your eyes, her expression grim.
>"A monster."
