Flitter placed the hoof in front of him. She placed her horn against the wound, and it began to disparate more. "You're not going to die." she said softly.
Bolt took the chance and ran in. He lit his horn, and rammed it through Chrysalis. "You won't live through this one!" He yelled, lifting her up and triggering a small explosion inside the wound. She wasn't dead...but it incapacitated her long enough for Bolt to run to Brisk. "I have to melt these chains. They're going to get hot, and I'm sorry about that, but I'll heal you later." He said, blasting fire on the chains holding Brisk. They broke. Bolt turned back to Chrysalis. He pointed his horn at her neck. "I'm going to kill you unless you swear fealty to me and the kingdom of New Equestria." He said, charging a fire blast. "Never" Chrysalis said. Bolt fired the blast in-between Chrysalis's eyes. Her face was a sight even he felt bad seeing after the blast. "I think I just proved that you don't have to be evil to be a good alicorn." Bolt said. He turned to Brisk. "Can you talk to me and tell me what's hurting you?" He asked
"Perfect." said Flitter. Then she sat up with a twitch. "I don't have much time." she whispered. She placed her horn against his heart, and power streamed through him.
Bolt was still blasting Brisk with healing spells. "You have to get up! If I lose you...if I lose you, how can I trust myself ever again? How can I live my life? If I lose you...I don't think I can carry on." He said, still blasting healing spells at Brisk.
"Why can't I do this?!? Why won't she wake up? Where's Leaf? Why is all of this happening to us?!?!" Bolt asked nopony but himself, still blasting Brisk with healing spells.
Bolt was getting weak. "I'll put my life into it if I have to do it to save you." He said, sweat dripping from his face. "I'm going to see you again, even if it means I have to die to do it!"
Bolt tilted his head. "Celestia tried to kill me, what about Celestia?" He asked, in a soft voice. "If you expect me to pick her over you, I won't do it. Leaf will be here soon...just tell me what you want and I'll do it." Bolt said.
"Flitter... I'll catch ya'll later. I have a healer to find." Narrowleaf was ready to charge. "Yee..." He lowered his head, "Haw!!" He leapt forward, apple seeds falling out of his mane.
"Oh, are we still on this page? Shame you had to kill your own sister to get a shot at me. You don't deserve the pain you're about to feel. It's too good for you." And when Leaf gets back, I'm gonna let him give you a piece of his Apple Family Bucking Kick." Bolt said. He knew what was about to happen. He was going to finish the duel...the duel he was losing. He shot red energy to meet Celestia's shining white energy. This was it. "Brisk...I won't die if you won't!" He promised her, the duel underway.
The palace doors swung open and the floors shook violently. A giant apple tree burst through the floor! "Hey guys! Thought I'd drop-" Narrowleaf dropped from the branches and kicked Chrysallis. "-by!!"
"Thanks, Leaf, but Celestia's about a minute from killing me! Kick her! Hard in the face!" Bolt begged. "I'm not ready to die Celestia. I deserve to be an alicorn more than you, you corrupt, washed-up excuse for a princess!" He yelled, the red beam inching towards Celestia. He closed his eyes and focused solely on the dual.
"Oh. I didn't come alone. Ma, Miss Fluttershy, Miss Angel..." Narrowleaf turned to face Celestia, "...Miss Luna... Charge!!"
