The group was all ready to face down the Millennium madman, who was tracked down and located to be on the summit of Mount DamÄvand in Iran. Something terrible was going to soon follow, something apocalyptic....
When the group arrived, they saw a horrible sight. The Nazi had killed everyone in the nuclear control room, and was now ready to fire an ICBM. "Just whaddya think you're doing, meaniehead?" Pinkie demanded.
The Nazi just cocked his head to the side slightly. "Doing what the Fuhrer didn't have the guts to do all those years ago. His arrogance led to his downfall, and today's world will be the same." The Nazi said before turning around fully, just as a monstrous surge of energy powered through him in an aura. "At least this time, I don't get to hold back"
"We weren't ready before," replied Circuit, "but we are now!" He fired a wave-motion beam from his hands that would kill a normal man instantly, but the madman simply deflected it with his finger, hitting Circuit in the stomach. He fell to the floor, apparently dead. "No... no, this can't be happening..." Rainbow muttered, "no..." She felt his pulse, but, nothing. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" "Quit your whining," replied the maniac, "You and your friends will join him soon." Rainbow's grief turned to fear. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Oh, nothing special, just a modified nuclear warhead intended to wipe out all non-Aryan human life." Her fear turned to anger. "I can't let you do that, not after what you did to him!" "Oh? And what makes him so special?" At this, Rainbow's anger turned to hatred. Something inside her began to change, as if a demon had been awakened inside of her. "HE WAS MY BOYFRIEND, YOU BASTARD!!" The very ground shook as she ran towards him, a barely visible red aura forming around her. "I'm soooo scared," mocked the Nazi. "I'LL UNSCREW YOUR HEAD AND SH** DOWN YOUR NECK!!" roared Rainbow in rage.
"If your so terrified, Then prove it!" The Nazi roared as he suddenly sprung to life, rushing at shocking speeds before holding a hand in front of Dash's face and shooting a point-blank air blast that sent them flying through the walls. All the while...the missile was activated remotely. "I'm on it!" Crimson said, before vanishing to destroy the missile
Rainbow removed his hand from her face and twisted his wrist, breaking it. She then released him, and fired lightning at him powerful enough to vaporize the average mage. She smiled as he writhed in pain. "DIE!!!" she shouted gleefully, "DIE YOU C***SUCKING SON OF A B****!!!" She laughed maniacally as her lightning bolts tore away at his flesh; as he screamed in agony, the look on her face was purely psychotic.
The Nazi turned around at Rainbow and tossed her around like a rag doll, taking her by the neck and throwing her across the room with superhuman strength before she crashed into her friends. The Nazi raised his hand as a ball of black and red energy charged in his hand. "I'm done playing games. DIE!" The Nazi said as he fired a wave of black magic at Rainbow and her friends. Meanwhile, Crimson managed to run out of the complex and launch himself into the sky, chasing down and preventing the apocalypse. He had to destroy the missile, or else it would be the end of the world.
Rainbow Dash simply swatted the ball away. "You think that everyone you don't like should die? How selfish. That's like killing off all the cats in the world just because you're a dog person. Everyone has a place in this world, no matter how small. But people like you don't see that. All you see are underdeveloped monkeys who ruin your perfect little Aryan world. People like you make me sick. You're mere existence is an insult to the human race, so why don't you just F*** OFF AND DIE?!?" She then threw a massive fireball at him, burning away what remained of his slowly healing flesh, before she snapped his neck, punched into his ribcage, tore out his still-beating heart, and crushed it. He fell to the floor, dead.
Crimson flew faster then the rocket and tired is best to stop the missile, much to no success. The missile was protected by an arcane shield crystal, designed to be virtually indestructible to attacks from the outside. The only way for it to be destroyed was for it to be destroyed from within, which would only mean detonation of the explosive. Flying at hypersonic speeds, he prepared to stop the ICBM with his bare hands by forming a wall. The missile crashed into him and just kept going, flying at an incredible as it soon reached the Mesophere, high above the Earth. It was getting very difficult to breathe, frost was starting to cover the missile and Crimson looked down at the Earth below him. It was beautiful from this height.... Crimson looked at the missile sadly, before messaging his friends, whom he didn't realize had defeated their Nazi opponent. He messaged his friends back on Earth as he held onto the top of the missile, directing it away from Earth. "Guys, I'm afraid I have some bad news. He thought of everything. He's laced the ICBM with an arcane shield crystal, it's virtually impossible to destroy from the outside. If i don't do anything, almost all life on Earth is going to die. I'm not going to let it happen...I'm sorry. You guys are the best, I'll never forget what we did together. Please..take care of yourselves. Sunset...I love you, I'll never forget you. I'll see you all again soon....' Crimson looked towards the vast ocean that was space, before doing whatever he could to get the missile as far as he could from Earth as he possibly could. He got far beyond the ISS and any satellite before he closed his eyes, going out with a smile on his face. Then...it was all over.
Sunset wept as the realization kicked in. "He'll be back," said Circuit, who had awoken at that moment. "Circuit..." said Rainbow, "You're alive!" She hugged him, crying tears of joy. "I got the message," said Circuit, "but as they say, you can't keep a good man down." "Meaning?" "Crimson won't be dead for long." Rainbow cried happily, as she asked, "How do you know?" "A hunch," he replied.
The ICBM exploded high above the Earth at an apocalyptic scale, the sheer brightness of the explosion itself was able to be seen everywhere in the world. Satellites temporarily went down for an hour but were soon up and running once more, and the ISS survived relatively unharmed. Crimson seemed to have died, his aura completely vanishing with the detonation of the Magical Weapon. He'll be back however. If there was one thing that Crimson was known for, it was that he was borderline impossible to kill. Like a phoenix, he'd come back from his ashes and stronger then ever. It's just who he was. Although, that wouldn't be for a while...
2 months later. Crimson died a hero, saving humanity from the clutches of a madman bent on the destruction of civilization. There was news coverage continuing from the bright explosion all the way until present day, and it was a major point of conversation within all of the worlds governments. Had Crimson not divert the missile away from Earth, almost all human life would be over. But this raised another discovery. Magic existed now to the general public... What happens now?
In the remotest regions of Northern Canada, a man dressed in black robes with a long white beard walked on the ice. "So, they know about magic now..." he said to himself, "Too bad they won't live long enough to understand it."
The world took things much better then expected when it came to the discovery of magic, although it understandably made plenty of people in positions of power paranoid. Technology seemed to jump about ten to fifteen years since the discovery of the arcane arts, all thanks to Crimson's selfless sacrifice. Energy and resource problems were being solved rapidly, wars were occurring on a far less active scale and society seemed to just progress as a whole. Crimson was viewed around the world as a protector, and the mages that were formerly in hiding were being accepted into society without the need for a witch-hunt. After he died, the three leaders of the USA, Canada and Mexico came together to discuss the formation of a geopolitical union, the formation of a brand new nation to which if it even went to plan, would greatly shift the balance of world power towards America. America could not only revive its glory days that occurred during the 1920's, but it could do so many times over. The leaders met in DC, and life was seen to be normal. Unknowing that a coming storm was brewing in the far frozen north of Canada....
The man psychically attempted to find an apprentice, a worthy ally, to help him wipe out all non-mages. He seemed to have found one in a cyan-skinned teenage girl from America. "I must find this girl," he said, "and convince her to join my cause."
Life at Canterlot High went along normally, although the obvious disappearance of a certain student made things sad. Many students were practising magic around the school, trying to aspire and become the next Lionheart, Or Dash if they were female.
After school, Rainbow Dash went home, only to find an old man waiting for her. "Well, hello there, young lady," he said. "Who are you?" she demanded. "Your only hope for survival," he said. "What do you mean?" "Now that the general populace knows that magic exists, the governments of the world will feel threatened. Anti-magic politicians will eventually get elected, which will mean extermination of all mages. Surely you wish to prevent this." Somehow, what the man said seemed to make perfect sense to Rainbow Dash, even though she didn't know she was being brainwashed slightly. "Of course," she said. "Good," he replied, "Now... you must prove it. Show those who do not understand magic that it is not something to be destroyed indiscriminately. Make them suffer for their ignorance." "I'd love to," said Rainbow Dash, suddenly realizing she felt the sudden, insatiable urge to slaughter those who fear magic.
