The Dresden Fillies - deviantART

"Everypony scatter!" Twilight cried and the group split, Dash and Applejack
charging Trixie from the right while Dresden, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie
circled further to the left. Dresden's mouth was moving, he was sharing
some plan with them, but another bolt of darkness tore through the air,
forcing Twilight into another hurried teleport. She didn't have time to worry
about anypony else. A midnight blue aura had formed around the angry
sorceress. She drew on the dark power surrounding her, and the rocks
beneath Twilight's feet began to rumble and shift. Twilight teleported again,
this time jumping closer to her opponent, but the rumbling stones lifted
themselves from the floor to form a pony-shaped golem. It charged her,
and after a moment's shock, Twilight turned and ran to meet it. She knew
Trixie would launch another attack; her exposed back would make a
tempting target. The former showpony soon obliged with a roaring ball of
eerie black fire. Twilight blinked out once more, leaving the stampeding

Dresden stepped between them, his shield flickering to life. The blue
energy deflected Trixie's strike, sending it through one of her windows with
tinkle of shattering glass.
Trixie prepared another blow, but a pair of strong hooves, hardened by
years of heavy labor, buried themselves in her side, breaking her
concentration and stealing her breath away. Dash followed Applejack's
attack with one of her own while Trixie was stunned. She rained blows on
all of Trixie's vulnerable points. She may have lacked the farmpony's
muscle, but she had more than earned her black belt in the dojo. Dresden
was shooting more lances of force at Trixie, but her inky barrier seemed to
have a mind of its own, blocking all his attacks no matter how distracted the
mare might be. He stopped, frowning, and instead held his staff aloft,
